After transmigrating the book, I brought down the character of the villain

Chapter 76
The next morning, Su Bai woke up and saw a map and a bowl of warm vegetable porridge on the table.

The map was given by Ah Pei, and the vegetable porridge should have been delivered by the shop assistant.

Su Bai took a sip, his pupils dilated slightly, and the taste was exactly the same as that made by herself!
Just as she was digging her head into cooking, the door behind her opened.

"I found some pickled mustard, the county magistrate, don't you want to try it?"

Su Bai turned his head, Du Chengjing came in with two small plates of mustard.

"Qingxiang is in short supply of food, I asked the store for rice, the green vegetables are found by Ah Pei and the others, you can make do with it." Du Chengjing put the mustard in Su Bai's hand.

The hand holding the spoon stopped, and Su Bai stared at Du Chengjing, as if he wanted to see a flower on Du Chengjing's face.

"Porridge, did you cook it?"

Du Chengjing nodded with a natural expression, took out a piece of dry biscuit from his bosom, ate two mouthfuls with mustard, found that Su Bai was still looking at him, so he put down his chopsticks, and broke off a piece of dry biscuit that he missed.

"The princess wants to eat too?"

Su Bai shook her head dully, no, she was just surprised that Du Chengjing could cook, and the taste was exactly the same as what she cooked in the palace two days ago.

Could this be the villain's passive skill?
"After Ah Pei sent the map and vegetables this morning, he took people to join Nie Yao and the others." Du Chengjing swallowed the last piece of cake, took the map, and spread it between the two of them. "The people of Qingxiang came from here. Go up, if we want to avoid them, we have to go up from here."

"No, let Nie Yao go from here, we will follow the people." Su Bai shook his head.

Du Chengjing was puzzled, "The people in Qingxiang worship the prince, but the identity of the princess is inconvenient to reveal. It's not easy to act together with the people, right?"

A passing stranger, following the people up the mountain to search and rescue the regent, is too ostentatious without convincing reasons.

Local officials in the south of the Yangtze River have been imprisoned, and there are still small officials.

If Su Bai's identity is to be recognized, what's the point of the previous disguise?
"I won't act with them, I just have some things I want to ask." Su Bai finished the last mouthful of porridge and wiped his mouth clean, "I'll tell Ah Pei that he doesn't need to follow us today."

Du Cheng nodded and told Ah Pei, so Ah Pei would definitely come back.

After the paper butterfly was released, Du Chengjing stood by the window all the time.

"Mao just called us, let's go." Su Bai came up from downstairs, stood at the door and called him.

Mao Gang is the name of the inn boy.

"Leave now?" Du Chengjing looked out the window, "Aren't you waiting for Ah Pei's reply?"

Su Bai pulled out a paper butterfly from his bosom, shook it, "He has written me back a long time ago, let's go."

Really just reply?not come back?
Du Chengjing looked at the street outside the window again, is Ah Pei really relieved that he and Su Bai will go up the mountain alone?
"He's not coming back?" He followed Su Bai downstairs.

Su Bai looked back in surprise, "I said I went to the foot of the mountain with the villagers to have a look, why did he come back?"

"It turns out that the princess only thought of the foot of the mountain"

"Of course not. If I don't say that, he must be worried."

Su Bai laughed heartily, completely oblivious to the fact that the face of the person behind him had turned dark.

"Miss Bai, Mr. Jing, you are here."

Mao Gang, who was waiting in the hall, saw the two of them, hurried up to meet them, and handed them two pieces of white silk that exuded the fragrance of medicine.

"This white silk has been soaked in medicine, which is extremely useful for the miasma on the mountain."

Su Bai and Du Chengjing imitated his example, tied the white silk around their necks, and pulled it over their faces after going up the mountain.

Dingyang Mountain is in the southwest of Qingxiang, about fifty li away from the city gate.

When the three arrived, there were already many people waiting at the foot of the mountain.

"When Taoist Jia arrives, we will go up the mountain." Mao Gang explained to Su Bai after asking the people in front.

Du Chengjing nodded slightly, he didn't care who Taoist Jia was, the purpose of his trip was to protect Su Bai.

The people around him wanted to know everything, pestering Mao Gang to ask.

"Who is Jia Daoshi? Is he very powerful?"

Mao Gang looked around and explained to Su Bai in a low voice, "He used to serve the dog officer. After the dog officer was imprisoned, he took the initiative to lead the way for the prince. Now that the prince is missing, it is also his first suggestion to let us enter the mountain. Searching for the prince."

So, a nice guy?

Before Su Bai could say what was on his lips, Mao Gang pointed behind her.

"Jia Daoshi is here."

Su Bai looked in the direction, and saw an old man about 50 years old, wearing a white Taoist robe.

Visually, his strength was far superior to hers, but for some reason, Su Bai always felt that his aura was a bit strange.

"Don't get in touch with that Taoist priest." Du Chengjing walked forward and whispered when he brushed past Su Bai.

Su Bai looked up at him, could it be that Du Chengjing felt something was wrong?
After Jia Daoshi arrived, today's team leader called the roll call, and when Mao Gang was called, the team leader found Su Bai and the other two.

"Why haven't I seen these two?"

Mao Gang explained, "Captain, this is a guest of our inn. Our ancestors had a relationship with the prince. He knew that we were looking for the prince, so he wanted to help."

Su Bai and Du Chengjing looked at each other, Mao Gang was lying for them?

"So that's the case, then you follow them and don't let them fall behind." The captain believed Mao Gang's words and continued to roll the roll.

"Mao Gang, I have nothing to do with the prince. Didn't I tell you, I'm just interested in the Dingyang Mountain that was split in two, and I want to go in and have a look." Su Bai whispered.

She didn't want anyone to have any chance to think about who she really was.

Mao Gang quickly waved his hands and explained to her and Du Chengjing, "Jia Daochang doesn't like unrelated outsiders to follow up the mountain. Miss Bai and Mr. Jing can only say so if they want to go up the mountain."

"Why?" Su Bai frowned.

Mao Gang spread his hands, "We don't know, there was a foreigner who wanted to go in and have a look, but he was directly driven out of Qingxiang by Taoist Jia."

As for what, Su Bai puffed up his cheeks and looked at Jia Daochang who was at the front.

Du Chengjing beside her tugged at her sleeve, she raised her eyes to look at Du Chengjing, only to see Du Chengjing pressed her index finger to her lips.

Su Bai nodded, it seems that this Taoist Jia is not simple.

After the captain finished counting names, under the leadership of the captain and Jia Daochang, everyone entered the mountain.

After walking dozens of steps, Su Bai could only see clearly what was within ten meters, and after walking for a while, the clear distance was shortened to three meters.

"Miss Bai, don't go far away from me." Du Chengjing covered his mouth and nose with a white silk.

Su Bai nodded, carefully looking around.

"What is the relationship between Mr. Jing and Miss Bai? Why are they called so strange." Mao Gang said out of time.

Su Bai subconsciously glanced at Du Chengjing, and coughed a few times, "He is the son of my aunt's brother's sister-in-law. Half a month ago, my aunt fell ill, so he went with me to visit relatives, as a companion on the road."

Mao Gang thought for a while, then agreed with a smile, "So that's how it is."

He didn't understand what the relationship between the two was.

"The road ahead is blocked."
