King Ming's Mansion in Jinling.

Xu Lai looked at Xie Qiao pitifully with a weeping face, his fat face wrinkled into a ball, he grabbed Xie Qiao's sleeve and sobbed, "Your Highness! Why are you going out alone again! Can't you bring your servant?"

Xie Qiao twitched the corner of her mouth, pulled her sleeve from the opponent's hand, and said, "I'm traveling with Gu Wang this time, not going out alone. Gu Wang definitely doesn't bring any servants, what should I say to you?"

Xu Lai wrinkled his face, and was about to say something when Xie Qiao smiled at him and said, "Xu Lai, you are the one I trust the most in this house, and I will rest assured that I will let you see this house."

Xu Lai couldn't hear anything next to the words 'I trust you most', he was moved to tears: "Your Highness..."

Xie Qiao patted Xu Lai on the shoulder and said, "I'll leave it to you, take care of the house." After saying that, he took the package that Xu Lai had just packed and walked away gracefully.

Xu Lai: "..."

It is natural to take a boat from Jinling to the north.In winter, there was a strong wind at the ferry along the Yangtze River. Xie Qiao felt cold from his bones when he was wearing a cloak. He looked at Gu Wang who was dressed in plain clothes without even a cloak, but the waist of the man was still as usual. Standing straight, those red phoenix eyes are as clear and bright as usual.

Rarely a little curious, he asked, "Master Gu, aren't you cold?"

Gu Wang looked at Xie Qiao with no expression on his face: "Naturally...it's not cold, Lord Lu is also like this in winter. As an official, we should exercise our strength and will just like Lord Lu."

Xie Qiao: "..."

Talking tremblingly, it's not cold. Xie Qiao looked down and saw that the man clenched his fists tightly. He was speechless for a while, and then said: "Lu Jue is a general, let's say—" Xie Qiao twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "I remember that he didn't have to dress up like this in winter and suffer. When did you see him like this?"

Gu Wang looked at him: "The little prince is very familiar with Mr. Lu?"

Xie Qiao raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Very familiar. More familiar than you imagined."

The boat came while he was talking, Xie Qiao frowned when he saw the crude boat, and regretted that he didn't take the matter of booking the boat over - he should have thought a long time ago how such an old-fashioned person like Gu Wang would find a big boat.

Xie Qiao looked at such a boat, and his face turned pale... In this boat, people and water are too close.

Seeing that Xie Qiao didn't move, Gu Wang looked at him and said, "Little prince?"

At this time, there was nothing to do, Xie Qiao took a look at Gu Wang, and then set foot on the boat.As soon as he stepped on the board, the boat shook slightly after being weighed down, and Xie Qiao's complexion became even paler. He clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves, but there was no change on his face.

When the boat reaches the center of the river, the wind blows even stronger.The cold wind blew into the cabin with air leaks all around, Xie Qiao looked at Gu Wang, who was trying to calm himself down and had bulging veins on his hands, twitched the corners of his mouth, and still took a cloak from the bag and threw it to him.Gu Wang was taken aback for a moment, then thanked Xie Qiao with a blank expression: "Thank you, little prince."

Xie Qiao remembered what happened just now, and in order to divert her attention, she asked, "Why on earth do you think that Lu Jue will dress like you in winter?" There is no way to show any strength of character in this way.

Probably because of the love of the cloak just now, Gu Wang said: "It is said in the market, and the lower officials have heard of it."

"What did they say?"

As soon as he mentioned this, Xie Qiao felt that the light in Gu Wang's eyes seemed to be brighter, and he said, "Naturally, it means that Mr. Lu is used to character - of course, Master Lu is used to character. That day, I heard a few soldiers in the tavern say Master Lu only wears single clothes even in winter in order to exercise his will."

Xie Qiao: "..."

Those are probably soldiers talking nonsense, how serious and old-fashioned is this man to take those seriously...

Xie Qiao twitched the corners of his mouth. He felt that walking with this person all the way would not be too easy for him...

……

Xie Qiao's prediction was good. After crossing the river, he followed Gu Wang all the way northward for nearly a month, and he was really tossed to death by the other party's rigidity along the way.Xie Qiao had been spoiled by Lu Jue and Xie Zheng for the past two lifetimes, and in addition to being the emperor for so many years in the first lifetime, it was always him who tormented others. Only then did Xie Qiao realize that Gu Looking at such a person is simply my nemesis...

When they finally arrived at the junction of Yanzhou and Jizhou, Xie Qiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.Looking at the city gate of Jizhou, he said: "Master Gu, we are staying in Jizhou today, how about it?"

Gu Wang frowned slightly, and said, "We have to get to Yanzhou as soon as possible." The implication is that we still need to make a further journey to stay in Yanzhou.

Xie Qiao raised his eyebrows as if he had expected it, and said what he had prepared: "Lu Jue is in Jizhou, we can borrow with him today, rest up for a few days, and then go to Yanzhou, how about it? Master Gu, don't worry, Yanzhou will be here soon. It's there, so close it can't get away."

After hearing the words, Gu Wang nodded expressionlessly, "It's also good to visit Master Xia Lu."

Xie Qiao: "..."

……

Jizhou military camp.

Xie Qiao and Gu Wang arrived outside the barracks. He and Gu Wang came in secret, so naturally they couldn't reveal their identities. Xie Qiao originally planned to just say that he was a good friend of Lu Jue. He wore two pieces of jade that Lu Jue gave him when he was young. Just take a piece and report it to the soldiers guarding the gate, and Lu Jue will naturally know that he is here.

Who would have thought that Xie Qiao was about to speak when Ling Daoyuan just happened to finish his work and return to the camp, so he bumped into him.

"Thank you..." He opened his eyes wide and was about to blurt out Xie Qiao's name when he saw Xie Qiao put his finger between his lips with a serious expression.Although he was upset, Ling Daoyuan remained silent.

The gatekeeper looked over suspiciously, Ling Daoyuan coughed, and said: "They are mine—" He seemed to be gnashing his teeth and choked out the next two words: "Friends."

Hearing what Ling Daoyuan said, the soldiers naturally opened the camp gate to let them in.

As soon as he entered the camp gate, Ling Daoyuan took a look at Gu Wang and took Xie Qiao to a place where there was no one else.

He looked Xie Qiao up and down, frowned, and said, "This is a military camp! Xie Qiao, what are you doing here?"

Xie Qiao folded his arms and raised his eyebrows: "Of course I came to look for your general. Could it be that I came to look for you?"

Ling Daoyuan's face was full of vigilance: "You, why are you looking for Lu Huaiyu? I can warn you, Lu Huaiyu is my great general in Dasheng, and the Lu family can't be manipulated casually. Don't think that you are just a prince. You'd better Stay away from him!"

Xie Qiao narrowed his eyes, a smile appeared on his face, looked at the other party and raised his eyebrows, and said, "Why should I seek your general? Naturally—" After a pause, he smiled and said, "I will untie the battle robe with the general." , the hibiscus tent warms up the spring night. What does it matter to you?"

Ling Daoyuan was so shocked by Xie Qiao's straightforward words that his eyes widened. He stared at Xie Qiao for a while, unable to speak, and finally he could only say: "Damn! Xie Qiao, your grandma is too shameless. !"

After staying in the barracks for a long time, he would say some stupid words that he had never said before, and he had heard a lot of these words in the barracks, but now he was so angry by Xie Qiao's shamelessness that he couldn't say anything.

Xie Qiao smiled even more: "If you have the face to—" Climb into your general's bed?

At this time, Lu Jue walked over with his hands behind his back and a smile.

Xie Qiao changed his words without changing his face: "Have you got the chance to warm your general's bed?"

Lu Jue: "..."

Ling Daoyuan, whose eyes were bigger than copper bells, said, "..."
