Kuaiwen: I earn a pension by breaking through the game

Chapter 246 The Bride Dedicated to the Mountain God (36)

Jiang Qiuchen initially just wanted to be an ordinary friend with the other party, but now he wants to have a deep friendship.

This point became even more certain after discovering that Wen Rushi was a woman.

Now that the hemp ropes tying the two of them have been untied, the next step is naturally to leave this place, Wen Rushi thought as a matter of course.

But before she could ask, Jiang Qiuchen took the lead and took her back to sit in the straw pile.

"Miss Jiang, don't you want to leave?"

Although Wen Rushi was puzzled, he still sat down obediently.

Jiang Qiuchen casually picked up a straw from the side and put it in his mouth, then folded his hands behind his head and spoke in a relaxed manner.

"Don't be in a hurry to leave."

"This is Lingxiang Palace, their territory. Even if we have the ability to get out of the woodshed, we don't have the ability to repel so many guards and leave here."

"Even if we leave the palace, won't we still be under their control?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Rushi nodded in agreement, and Jiang Qiuchen continued.

"I just entered the city and haven't even had time to enjoy the delicious food and drinks here. It would be a shame if I just left in disgrace."

"Besides, have we ever done anything wrong?"

"I not only saved the little girl, but also the brat who almost died under the horse's hooves. I didn't do anything wrong, so why am I running away?"

Wen Rushi's mouth corners turned up, with a smile on his face.

"Miss Jiang is right. We have done nothing wrong and behaved properly."

"Since the young lady has said so, I will not cause any more trouble. I will just wait here with the young lady."

"I am also very curious about how the young master of Lingxiang Palace plans to deal with the two of us."

After saying that, Wen Rushi found an empty space beside Jiang Qiuchen and sat down, bending his knees and hugging himself with his hands.

Jiang Qiuchen admired her stable emotions, good attitude, and her ears that were particularly receptive to advice.

"That's right. Take a good rest and don't make yourself suffer by tossing and turning. I've untied the hemp rope and you feel a lot more relaxed, right?"

"I'll just wait here and see what that brat is up to."

"Don't worry, if it really comes to a critical moment, I will definitely find a way to take you away."

"Hide first, then run away, this has always been my rule of conduct!"

Jiang Qiuchen snapped his fingers neatly, and looked a bit unruly while holding a straw in his mouth.

Wen Rushi nodded his approval when he heard this.

I thought Gu Xiao would show up soon, but I didn't expect to have to wait for most of the day.

The sun gradually set and it became dark all around.

Jiang Qiuchen gradually became sleepy and dozed off unconsciously.

Even the guards outside the house moved less frequently. The woodshed was so quiet that the sound of mice gnawing in the corner became particularly clear.

After a brief darkness, lights were lit on the porch outside the house.

The palace is not an ordinary place, so naturally they will not be stingy with candles.

The light shines through the window lattice into the house. Under the light, the woodshed does not seem so lonely.

Although Wen Rushi was also very tired, he was afraid that if both of them fell asleep, new situations would arise that would be difficult to deal with, so he forced himself to stay awake and pay attention to the movements around him.

……

On the other side, Gu Xiao, who had been delayed for some time, was swaggering into the palace, planning to head towards the woodshed.

When passing by the garden, he met the princess who was drinking tea and resting in the pavilion after dinner, and he approached her in a coquettish manner.

"Mom! I'm back!"

"What did mother do today? You haven't seen me for most of the day. Did you miss your son?" The Princess Lingxiang was born into a rich and powerful family and was a jewel raised in seclusion.

But King Lingxiang was not from a royal family. Instead, he started from scratch and built Lingzhou as a commoner.

The states were at war with each other, and the so-called imperial court and royal family had long been in name only. The kings, princes, and generals of each state had been replaced several times.

In troubled times, who cares about one's background? Only the military power in one's hands is the most powerful pass.

Although King Lingxiang came from a humble background, he was extremely courageous and a first-rate young talent, which was why he was able to win the beauty's heart.

Therefore, compared with other noble families with strict rules and regulations, the Lingxiang Palace is more like an ordinary family.

Parents are kind, brothers are friendly and younger brothers are respectful. When there are no outsiders around, they are especially close.

The princess, who was sipping tea, saw her puppy-like little son, smiled dotingly and put down the teacup in her hand.

"You, where have you been running off to again?"

"I was sweating so much from running that my hair was wet."

The princess touched Gu Xiao's temples lovingly and asked with concern.

"Humph! It's fine if other people say that about me, but why is my mother saying that about me too!"

"I'm not wild. Something was strange today. I was just dealing with the chores."

"I don't know who tampered with my horse. It went crazy halfway through the journey. If I hadn't controlled it in time, there would have been a big mess."

"It was nothing at first, but two kind-hearted young men jumped out. In order to maintain my image as a dandy, I had to kidnap them first."

The princess poured another cup of tea and handed it to Gu Xiao.

"Well, mother naturally knows what kind of person our Xiao'er is."

"Have some tea to moisten your body first, and then deal with the next matter."

After Gu Xiao took the tea and drank it all, he let out a comfortable sigh.

"Comfortable!"

"I have helped my elder brother solve many troubles. Last time, he caused a big disturbance in Shihuixuan and caught the Yunzhou spy. Another time, he disrupted the dating party and helped my elder brother reject the kindness of many ladies. And the time before that..."

"If I count carefully, there are so many things, big and small. When can I follow my brother to the military camp?"

"Mother, my dear mother, I heard that my elder brother will be back in two days. Can you help me talk to him?"

"I'm grown up now and can help him share his worries. Just let big brother take care of me. I promise I won't complain or feel tired."

Gu Xiao blinked his big eyes and leaned over the table. His pitiful appearance made the princess feel a little overwhelmed.

"Mother understands Xiao'er's thoughts, but you still need to talk to your elder brother about these things. Mother cannot make the decision on matters in the military camp."

"Whether to accept you or not, you still need the nod of approval from the general leading the troops in battle, right?"

Although the princess did not directly agree to Gu Xiao's request, her implication was that as long as Gu Shaojing was willing to take him with him, she would no longer keep him in the palace.

Gu Xiao has always been smart, so he naturally heard the hidden meaning in these words and immediately shouted excitedly.

"Okay! Thank you, mother!"

"I'll go take care of those two people first, and then come back to drink tea with mother later!"

Watching Gu Xiao running away, the princess smiled helplessly, then picked up the teacup and continued to sip her tea.

……

"Sir, you are here!"

"Well, open the door."

"Yes!"

After hearing the conversation coming from outside the door, Jiang Qiuchen and Wen Rushi looked at each other and reached the same conclusion.

people come.
