Empress: The Old Emperor's Way to Pursue His Wife

Chapter 170 Fanwai (4)

Without a horse, the three of them could only rely on their feet.

For this reason, Xiao Xi stopped and stopped for a long time. Several times, she wanted to take the opportunity to get close to the mysterious man, but when she saw the stinking head hanging on the sword, she resigned to her fate and gave up the opportunity.

After two days and two nights, the three of them finally reached a small town, and Wei Wei directly exchanged the scarred man's head for a bounty.then……

Wei Wei: "How much?"

Li Zhu: "How much?"

Xiao Xi understood: "You make an offer."

Wei Wei opened his fingers.

Li Zhu: "500 taels?" This price is good and cheap.

Wei Wei shook his head.

Li Zhu: "Could it be 500 taels of gold?" This person's heart is too greedy, which is not good.

Wei Wei shook his head.

Li Zhu was anxious: "Then how much more do you want? 500 taels of gold." This price is a lot, dozens of times more than his annual salary.

Xiao Xi raised her hand and slapped Li Zhu, knocking him away. "Then how much do you want, hero? Say, um...as long as the price is fair, I'll give it."

As long as the money allows me to see the true face of this veil, it will be worth it.

Wei Wei retracted his five fingers, pressed his jaw against his chin and pondered for a while, and asked, "How long?"

Even if he wants to be with Xiao Xi indefinitely, but now he is not Wei Wei, the son of Wei Xiangye, but...

Xiao Xi twisted her mind, she really hadn't thought about this question.

Moments later, Xiao Xi said, "I'll wait until I find him."

"Him?" Mo Yanxiao?Or Mr. Mei Qingmei?Xi'er, is he really that important?
Wei Wei looked unhappy and turned around.Xiao Xi thought he was not happy, so she hurriedly reached out and grabbed his arm.

"Hey, don't go! Let's do this, half a year... five months..." No, I'm afraid he will be captured by the people sent by the queen in less than five months.

With a sudden change of heart, Xiao Xi laughed.

"Hero, how about this, I'll give you 50 taels a day, except for the first month you have to give me a full period, after that you can leave if you want, stay if you want."

In a month's time, she will definitely be able to dodge the chasing men and horses, and she will definitely be able to take off the veil of this mysterious man.

Hey, enough is enough.

Wei Wei pretended to think about it, nodded, and said again: "But I only protect you, and you must not interfere with my private life."

There must be another conspiracy behind Xiao Xi, otherwise, she would not be so lavish.

50 for a day's guard, this is half a month's wages for Li Zhu.

Sneaking a peek at Li Zhu through the curtain, it turned out that the little boy was already showing resignation.

Hey, Li Xiaozhu, Li Xiaozhu, if you knew that it was your grandpa Wei who came under the curtain, what would your expression be?

"Okay." Xiao Xi responded readily, raising his head and chest and introducing himself: "My son's surname is Xiao... The hero can call me Mr. Xiao. He is Li Zhu. You can call him whatever you like."

"Master." It's okay to spend so much money to hire a person from the rivers and lakes of unknown origin to be a guard, and it's fine to pay him more than him. Now you are still slandering his name like this, what kind of master is this!

"Mn, Mr. Xiao." Wei Wei replied seriously, but the corners of his mouth were undisguised... Oh no, it should be a snicker without hesitation under the cover.

Xiao Xi: "Then, what do you call a hero?"

The word Wei Wei means 'white'.

Xiao Xi was dumbfounded for a moment on the spot, and then asked: "Bai, what is Bai?"

Wei Wei: "Young Master Xiao, please call me Brother Bai."

Xiao Xi directly petrified this time, is he really joking about her by this title?

Wei Wei: "I don't know where Mr. Xiao is going next?"

As far as he knew, when Mei Qing left, she didn't leave any clues for Xiao Xi.And the way she has walked in the past month or so is simply walking blindly.

where to?where to go nextShe really didn't know where she went.

After all, she was really looking for Mr. Mei at first, because she was looking for a reason for herself to leave the palace.

Now she has completely lost her direction. For Mr. Mei, as she grows older, she no longer has the stubbornness she had when she was a child.

Where should I go?

In the end, the three of them bought three more horses and set off along the avenue with the most people coming and going.

A lot can be changed in one month, for example, the former remote mountainous place has become a prosperous and lush Jiangnan.

Another example is Li Zhu's attitude towards 'Big Brother Bai'...

"Brother Bai, I've always heard that there are beauties in the Jiangnan water town. Tell me, will we meet one or two when we come here this time?"

In exchange for these words, Xiao Xi rolled her eyes and smiled lightly.

"Brother Bai, what kind of woman do you like? The gentle type? The tricky type? Or the lively and cute..."

"Li Zhu! You little brat, the girl who opens and shuts her mouth before she even opens her mouth, are you ashamed?"

Xiao Xi scolded, Li Zhu was no longer as shy as before, but made a face at her, and immediately hid behind Wei Wei.

The angry Xiao Xi could only stare blankly, she really didn't know how she had spent money to hire someone to be a guard, how could she become the guard that Li Zhu used to anger her master, hum!

Staring at the overlapping black and gray gauze, Xiao Xi was even more annoyed.

A lot has changed in a month, but what has remained unchanged is the veil that Xiao Xi deliberately wanted to remove, and it has always been safely and securely worn on the head of 'Big Brother Bai'.

The cool wind blew, and the festival was already entering the rhythm of early summer. The temperature suddenly rose, and the clothes on their bodies also decreased.

Arriving in the south of the Yangtze River, although the humidity has increased, the temperature is also higher than that of Kyoto.

Xiao Xi: "Oh, it's getting hotter and hotter these days."

"Yes, master, should we find an inn to stay?" Li Zhu sniffed part of his body and gasped.

If you don't find an inn to stay in and wash them well, they will really smell so bad that they can be compared to beggars.

A few days ago, they hadn't officially stepped into this bustling area, and they were stranded in a country house full of spring.

Xiao Xi didn't know what was going on in his head, but he proposed to experience the life of a farmer, and then... chop firewood to make a fire, chop vegetables to feed pigs, adjust food to feed chickens and ducks, go to the fields to plant seedlings...

Basically, he, Li Zhu, was ordered to do all the farm work.

Thanks to 'Big Brother Bai' who came to the rescue, he was saved from continuing to make bad hands.

After working for a few days, even if he rubbed all the skin off his body, he still felt the smell on his body, which was very unpleasant.

Xiao Xi rolled his eyes, turned his face to Wei Wei and smiled immediately, "Brother Bai, you said you always wear this veil, don't you think it's stuffy?"

Li Zhuluan, also rolled his eyes at his master.

After getting along for more than a month, if he still doesn't know what his master means, then he is really in vain.

Wei Wei snickered and nodded. "Well, there are some."

Xiao Xi's eyes were shining brightly.Is that right? Hurry up and take off the curtain so that the hall can see its true face.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's find an inn to stay in first."

Wei Wei left now, Xiao Xi, whose plan failed, was very upset, and Li Zhu, who saw the joke, was very happy.

"Hahaha..." Li Zhu was good at both big and small skills, and laughed at his master on the spot.

Xiao Xi was so angry that she stomped on Li Zhu's instep and followed him angrily.

The three of them chose a fairly good inn to stay in. Since it was not early, they went back to their respective rooms after dinner.

In Wei Wei's room... the tub was smudged with heat, and the water was splashing.

A dark guard in black is reporting the order of the two masters in the capital through the screen, ordering Wei Wei to bring Her Royal Highness back within three months.

In Li Zhu's room...one bucket, two buckets, three buckets... a full bucket occupied all the space in the room, and all the bath water he replaced in a short time, and every bucket Petals of different flowers float in the water.

This extravagance made Xiao Xi despise who saw the wooden barrel carried into the room.

In Xiao Xi's room... After taking a quick shower, she stood blankly in front of the screen to dry for a long time, because...

"Men's clothes? Women's clothes? Men's clothes? Women's clothes?...Oh, which one should I wear?" Xiao Xi picked up the obscene clothes and trousers and put them on, rolled into the bed and rolled herself up tightly.

"Which one should you wear? Let's wear men's clothes. You've been facing him as Mr. Xiao all this time. If you suddenly change into women's clothes and become Miss Xiao, will he be shocked?"

"But if you don't change back to women's clothes, this last chance will be gone."

The one-month deadline has come, 'Big Brother Bai' can leave at any time, but she, Xiao Xi, still hasn't even seen his face, she's not reconciled, she won't admit defeat!
After throwing off the blanket, Xiao Xi flew to the screen, dressed in women's attire, and sat in front of the bronze mirror.

With thin application of rouge and powder, lightly dyed rouge, slightly curled eyebrows, and the bun is pulled back and forth, Xiao Xi can only pull out the simplest double flat bun.

Staring at the immature hairstyle in the bronze mirror, Xiao Xi finally gave up, still casually hanging her hair behind her head, and just like that came to Wei Wei's room door.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
"Who?" Wei Wei lowered his voice and whispered, and the hidden guard standing in front of the screen disappeared without a trace in an instant.
