Happiness System

Chapter 116 The original wife of the resentful male supporting role (23)

After all, Zhou Banxia was over fifty years old, and he was extremely tired. He didn't even want to lift his feet. When he heard Qin Yunxi talking about money, he took advantage of the situation and scolded his apprentice.

The young disciple got up aggrieved, but dared not say anything. However, he was unwilling to be the only one being scolded, so he just retorted in a low voice: "The general is everyone's general, so what's wrong with spending some money on him? If I had a hundred taels of silver, I would be happy to spend a hundred taels on the general..."

Zhou Banxia: If you can take out one or two ounces of silver, I’ll lose!

Unlike Zhou Banxia and his disciples, Lu Hu and his companions had crawled out from a pile of dead bodies after all. Although their injuries were serious, the current situation was nothing to them.

After eating half a cold steamed bun, those with less severe injuries went out to make some simple defenses and picked up some firewood.

Because Lu Hu was with Xiao Chenyi, he was the least injured among the guards.

After Xiao Chenyi took the detoxification pill, treated his wounds and drank the medicine, he went out to investigate.

When he came back, he was holding two wild rabbits in his hands.

Qin Yunxi swallowed her saliva as she looked at the wild rabbit. She hadn't been eating or sleeping well in the past few days, and she had no way to secretly prepare some special meals for herself. She was really greedy!

So she took the rabbit actively, peeled off the skin and removed the internal organs, then washed it with snow and then smeared it with salt and homemade barbecue powder from the package.

There were certainly not enough rabbits for nearly twenty people to share, so each person could only take a couple of bites.

Even more greedy!

Qin Yunxi also didn't want to spend his days hiding, as this would not be conducive to their collection of information from the front line.

She pulled Lu Hu aside, and the two of them wrote and drew on the ground for a long time.

Before dawn the next day, Lu Hu led them in a purposeful direction.

After walking for nearly another day, they finally reached their destination.

This is a big mountain and also a natural barrier between Wu County and Heilong County. It is one of the fundamental reasons why the Hu army in the original life did not continue to move south to break through Heilong County.

Following the clues, Lu Hu and his men searched three or four times before they found the real location of the cave.

After walking for quarter of an hour with torches in hand, they finally stopped in a well-ventilated and bright place.

After ensuring the safety of the place, Lu Hu prepared some daily necessities for them and left with his men.

During this period, Xiao Chenyi had not woken up yet, but fortunately he had learned to swallow.

After the young disciple fed Xiao Chenyi the medicine, he shivered from the cold as soon as he walked out of the stone chamber.

He shook his feet and asked Zhou Banxia: "Master, we have already reached the border of Heilong County. Why don't we go into the city but hide in this cave? Wouldn't it be more convenient to buy medicine in the city? Wouldn't it be better and more conducive to the general's recovery?"

Zhou Banxia took his eyes away from the medical book, glanced at him and said, "Let alone Heilong County, even in Baicheng, there may be countless Hu soldiers who have infiltrated. Do you think you are really safe in the city?

Besides, we have no money and nothing to prove our identity, do you think everything will be fine once we enter the city?"

Faced with the master's repeated questions, the young apprentice scratched his head and went to wash the medicine jar silently.

Xiao Chenyi woke up on the fifth day after Lu Hu left.

Qin Yunxi didn't feel anything while he was unconscious, but as soon as he woke up, Qin Yunxi always felt restrained when facing him.

It's a feeling of being oppressed by an aura.

Fortunately, Xiao Chenyi knew that Qin Yunxi was avoiding him and had no intention of teasing her.

He only called the guards and Zhou Banxia in to inquire about the situation, and then he stayed in the stone chamber to recuperate.

Another five days passed, and Qin Yunxi saw that Xiao Chenyi's body had almost recovered, and she didn't want to hide in the cave anymore.

So she gritted her teeth and went to find Xiao Chenyi, suggesting that they go to her manor to recuperate or to the academy.

The protection of these two places is good. If you need to hide, they will not be bad. They are not much worse than the current place.

Xiao Chenyi agreed without much thought. He was the only one who knew how much damage those witchcraft had done to his body.

He really needed a better environment to recuperate, and he was also eager to know what the war situation was like at the front.

It is safe here, but it is not easy to communicate with external parties.

Of course, they couldn't just leave whenever they wanted, as the clothes they were wearing were quite conspicuous.

However, these people were poorer than each other, so Qin Yunxi had no choice but to pay money and ask the guards to go out and buy suitable clothes and means of transportation.

Two days later, they had a new identity.

Xiao Chenyi was a young man from an aristocratic family who had traveled from the imperial capital. No matter how Qin Yunxi dressed up, she could not disguise herself as a maid, so she had no choice but to become the eighteenth room of "Master Chen" and his favorite concubine.

Zhou Banxia is the steward, his apprentice is a servant, and the guards are still guards.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Chenyi really regarded himself as a romantic dandy. He fought cocks and touched dogs, ate, drank and had fun, and flirted with the young ladies on the side of the road. It took him two days to reach Heilong County, which was supposed to be a journey of half a day.

After playing in Heilong County for another half a day, Qin Yunxi spent several hundred taels of silver before returning to the academy with a feeling of unsatisfied mood.

These days, except for Xiao Chenyi who was having a lot of fun, everyone else was worried.

In the middle, they met a small merchant caravan disguised as Hu Jun's vanguard. Everyone was sweating for fear of being recognized. Xiao Chenyi was really addicted to playing the role of a dandy master and even flirted with them in a mean way.

Qin Yunxi didn't know what other people were thinking. At that time, she wanted to stab Xiao Chenyi unconscious with a needle and have him carried away directly!

Anyway, the lofty image of Xiao Chenyi in her mind has been shattered!

Looking at the plaque of 'Baiyun Academy' in front of him, Qin Yunxi actually felt like tears welling up in his eyes.

It has been really hard for her along the way!

"Tsk, there is actually a decent academy in this wild place? How rare! Is it just a facade? It really caught my attention! Let's go, knock on the door and take a look!"

It was a very cold day with snowflakes still falling, but Mr. Chen was still pretending to be handsome with a folding fan.

He doesn't look like a normal person at all.

This is Mo Nan, which is under your jurisdiction. You haven't built a decent academy in all these years. Shouldn't you reflect on yourself?

Are you really shameless enough to despise yourself with another identity?

Zhou Banxia was speechless and didn't want to go up and knock on the door, for fear that people would think he was as mentally ill as Mr. Chen!

Under the pressure of Zhou Banxia's eyes, the young disciple prepared himself mentally to be beaten out, raised his hand but missed, and almost fell down.

"Hello, young man. My master has traveled half of the southern desert and found that every place he saw was desolate. He didn't expect to see such a magnificent academy here... My master's heart seems to be scratched by a cat's claws. He is very curious. I wonder if the 'Baiyun Academy' can allow outsiders to visit it?"

The person who opened the door was the servant beside Fu Ronglang. Before he called out the name "Second Madam", Qin Yunxi quickly spoke.

Fortunately, the other party was also smart and immediately put on airs and said, "Oh? Where are you from? If you had come two months earlier, you might not even have seen the plaque of our academy!

Our academy is generally not open to visitors, and no outsiders are allowed to enter.

But I see that this master and this young lady are very pleasing to the eye, and since the master in charge is not here today, I decided to let you go in and have a look!"

The servant opened the door and let Qin Yunxi and his group in. As soon as the door was closed, he almost fell to his knees.

The only one who could make his second wife follow him as a partner is him!

He didn't dare to ask questions that he shouldn't ask. He forced himself to lead the way, suppressing his trembling legs. He even raised his voice deliberately and introduced the academy in a very impressive tone.

This academy had cost Qin Yunxi nearly twenty thousand taels of silver before she left Heilong County, and that was not including the big expenses for books.

The first time he stepped into the academy and saw the buildings, the layout, and the children who were studying hard, Qin Yunxi suddenly felt that it was really worth raising this money-eating beast of the academy!

The servant took Qin Yunxi and the others around the academy and brought them to the reception room. After making sure there were no spies around, the servant bowed his head and explained, "Second Madam, the master and the second master are ostensibly going to receive books shipped from the mainland, but in reality they are leading people to wipe out the bandits."

Qin Yunxi nodded, without explaining Xiao Chenyi's identity, and only asked: "Mr. Chen needs to stay here for a while, is there a suitable place in the academy for him to stay?"

The servant shook his head and said, "There have been too many spies watching the academy recently, and now there are rumors that the general has been killed by Hu Jun, and the junior general seems to be missing, and many people have become interested in the academy.

Master Ding has been staying at the farm recently and dared not leave. Master Jiang has also gone to Baicheng. Now the academy is temporarily under the management of the Fourth Master.

The Fourth Master has gone to the city to do some work. It will probably take a while for him to come back. Will the Second Lady wait for him to come back?"

Qin Yunxi glanced at Xiao Chenyi. This man didn't even blink when he heard the news that his son was missing!

Seeing Qin Yunxi looking at him, he stood up and said, "Let's go, Little Eighteen. I originally wanted to discuss academic matters with the great scholar, but I didn't expect that this academy doesn't even have a decent teacher, and they can't even serve decent tea to guests. This is outrageous!"

Qin Yunxi's sixth sense told her that someone was watching them outside, so she stood up and said with a flattering smile, "Master, it's my fault. I believed everything I heard and dragged you to this shabby academy without finding out the truth. Why don't we go out and ask which farm nearby has a hot spring?"

"I agree. Whatever the beauty wants to do is what I want to do!" As he said this, he lifted Qin Yunxi's chin with his fan.

Qin Yunxi resisted the urge to roll her eyes and forced a shy expression.

"Please come this way!" The servant immediately looked away upon seeing this, not daring to look, for fear that he would be silenced if he knew too much!

As for the person who silenced the witness, it could be her second wife, second master, or the person in front of her!

Arriving at the entrance of the academy, Mr. Chen shook his head and pointed at the plaque of Baiyun Academy and said, "It's all show, all show! What a pity, alas!"

The corner of Qin Yunxi's mouth twitched. You know that it's easy to get beaten if you say such things in front of the builder himself?

After getting on the carriage, they did not go directly to Qin Yunxi's manor, but knocked on the doors of each manor along the way to ask if they had hot springs.

After walking around for nearly an hour, it was getting dark. After Xiao Chenyi's guards dealt with the people following them, they headed straight for the manor.
