Tangled

Gu Tingshu didn't turn his head when he heard their noise, but just turned his hands behind his back and patted Mu Chengze's shoulder.

Mu Chengze was furious with his clear attitude of closeness and estrangement, so he slapped him back with his backhand.

"Ashu is too eccentric. Even though I was the one being laughed at, he came to shoot me instead."

His tone was very aggrieved, as if he had suffered a serious injury, but his expression was very strange, no one could sympathize with him.

Shen Qiqi was teased by him and couldn't stop laughing for a long time, but in the end Gu Tingshu was afraid that she would hurt her stomach from laughing, so she turned her hand away and patted her on the back.

Shen Qiqi took a few deep breaths, the laughter stopped slowly, but the corners of her eyes were still moist.

She sat for a while, then suddenly asked curiously: "Lu Yin, do you need to write down your identity?"

Mu Chengze thought she wouldn't ask this, but it turned out that he didn't think of it before.

He fanned his head and shook his head, "It stands to reason that the road guide will only write who you are, how many people are in your family, where you live, and where you are going."

"But who are we? We are people with status and status. Can the road guides we write look like others?"

"Although it's not appropriate to be ostentatious when you are away from home, we must have the cards, so the identity is specially added by me."

"How? Do you think my intelligence is unparalleled in the world?"

He insisted on saying so much about things that could be explained clearly in one or two sentences.

Shen Qiqi pursed her lips, she was really embarrassed to answer him, this idea is really bad.

That's all for them, her real status is not low, but she is just a commoner, if it is known that she is pretending to be the county head, ten of her are not enough to beheaded.

"Cousin, do you have any other guides? I don't want to use this."

She ignored Mu Chengze's piercing gaze, and instead tugged at the corner of Gu Tingshu's clothes.

Gu Tingshu knew that she would not be willing, so he prepared a guide early on, and when Shen Qiqi asked now, he took out the guide from his arms.

Along the way, she used two or three identities, but now on the road guide that Gu Tingshu handed over, she changed another identity.

The daughter of an ordinary merchant's family, no matter how anyone looks at her, she won't find anything wrong.

Seeing that she was so satisfied with this guide, Mu Chengze pursed his lips in disgust.

This girl really doesn't know how to be blessed in the blessings, he has already thought about it, if she accepts this status, after returning to the capital, he will go to find his mother and make her a county lord.

Who knew that she would still dislike him, she was really mad at him.

"Ashu, hurry up the car, I'm really angry."

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, he patted down the car and went to sleep puffing out his cheeks.

Shen Qiqi didn't feel sleepy, picked up the note that Gu Tingshu had put down, and leaned on the car board to read it carefully.

Every time she saw something interesting, she would unconsciously babble. Although the voice was small, it was only separated by a layer of wood, and the voice was still clear to Gu Tingshu's ears.

He drove the carriage steadily so that Shen Qiqi wouldn't bother his eyes so much.

Shen Qiqi didn't notice his movement, but he couldn't escape Mu Chengze's eyes.

Obviously feeling that the carriage was slow, he pursed his lips and cursed silently, then turned over and lay down again with a depressed face.

Since entering the boundary of Ningzhou, it has become hotter the further you go to Ningzhou. As stated in the booklet, Ningzhou is very hot.

But although it was very hot, it was not like what was written in the brochure. Ningzhou had been drought year after year, and the crops had been short of food year after year.

Judging from what they saw along the way, although Ningzhou's harvest has decreased slightly, it is not impossible to fail to pay taxes.

The prefect of Ningzhou and the others haven't seen it yet, but they learned from the people that the other party is not as incompetent as Zhezi said in the letter.

Although the speed of the carriage was not fast, they still reached Cangyong County before sunset.

According to this route, they will set off early tomorrow, and they will be able to reach Ningzhou before the city gate is closed.

After getting out of the car, Mu Chengze stretched, looking at the peddler who was hurrying to pack up and go home, he let out a long sigh of relief.

"Ashu, how did we go so fast?"

I think when my father came to Ningzhou, he could travel up to thirty miles a day.

It's only been more than ten years now, why has this place changed so much?
Although the mountain road is difficult to walk, it is not as difficult as the return.

It seems that the information they received has been tampered with.

I don't know who is so capable that he can cover the sky with one hand and hide the two of them and all the ministers.

"Maybe the horse has grown wings."

He suddenly made a joke, and Shen Qiqi and Mu Chengze turned their heads to look in shock.

The two of them looked Gu Tingshu up and down several times, and Mu Chengze even pinched him before he was sure that the person in front of him was real.

"Cousin, please help me to see if the sun is setting from the east today. If not, then did we hear it wrong?"

But when Qu'er came, he responded casually, but he didn't expect them to react so strongly. Gu Tingshu restrained his emotions and walked ahead with a blank expression.

"By the way, this looks like the Ash I know."

Mu Chengze followed behind, feeling inexplicably relieved in his heart.

It's better for Ash to be serious, but he suddenly made a joke, which almost scared him to death.

"Cousin, what do you want to eat today? I'm treating you. Just order."

Before he found a place to stay, he already patted his chest and said that he wanted to treat him.

Just as Shen Qiqi was about to speak, she suddenly smelled the smell of meat.

She followed the smell and saw a stall not far away, with a fire on it, and some game was roasting on the fire.

Even though she didn't want to eat meat anymore, the greedy worm couldn't help but burrowed out when she smelled it.

"Cousin, what is that?"

Mu Chengze sniffed it hard, and said with certainty: "It's wolf meat."

"Cousin, let me tell you, although the roasted wolf meat smells delicious, it tastes terrible. It's not delicious at all."

"Be obedient, let's not eat this thing, let's find a place to live, and then I will order some pig's trotters for you to eat."

Cangyong County is much more prosperous than Xingshan Town, and there are more foreigners here. When there are more foreigners, people with quick minds will start their business.

People of other races often eat this roasted wolf meat, but they don't have so many seasonings to put it down, at most they put some salt and wild fruit juice.

He just watched carefully, the ultimate goal of the stall owner who set up the roast wolf meat was the bottles and cans on the shelf behind him.

The ones placed there are designated as the seasoning carefully prepared by the stall owner. Those foreigners who smell the meat will definitely buy it without hesitation.

"Ashu, most of our people are intelligent."

When he entered the posthouse, he suddenly said something.

Gu Tingshu glanced at the businessmen passing by, and turned his head to look at Mu Chengze lightly.

Get up and go to the stage, bow, and say hello: "Do you have a small ticket~" Bow, step off the stage, and sit down obediently.
