The Indifferent Prince's Substitute

When Lin Yan came back to his senses, in front of him were no longer those few inconspicuous trees, but a bustling and bustling scene.In front of it is a large field, the ground is full of all kinds of weird things, and the stall owners are all weird, with human bodies on top, some with protruding ears, some with tails, and plush It was the first time for Lin Yan to see so many monsters with her paws exposed.

"I'll wait for you here." Tu Yi went out this time, went to the mountain to dig a lot of crystal clear stones and came back, which contained aura, although there was not much, but after the monster absorbed it, it could increase the cultivation base, which is better than nothing.He found an empty place to set up a stall, and asked Tu Er to take Lin Yan around.

Lin Yan was thinking about Scrophularia ginseng, and only concentrated on looking for a stall selling medicinal materials.Seeing a stall full of medicinal herbs, I hurried over and asked, "Is there Xuanyun ginseng?"

The stall owner was a simple-looking young man with a human appearance, but his palms were animal-like, covered with fluff, dark, thick and strong like a bear.He scratched his hair with his thick and black bear paw, and shook his head with a simple smile, "No."

Lin Yan was disappointed, and Tu Er asked curiously beside him: "Are you looking for Xuanyun ginseng? Xuanyun ginseng is very rare, even if a monster digs it up, it will not be willing to sell it. I have never seen it in the market. selling."

Lin Yan's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, he rubbed his face in distress, and saw a small stall with a shed in front, a girl with a bird's beak was deftly frying something in the pot, there was a scent coming out, and the front of the stall After seeing a lot of monsters, he asked, "What are you selling over there?"

"It's a kind of bird's egg. It's delicious. It's a delicacy in our demon world. It can't be eaten in the human world. I will try it every time I come here." Tu Er excitedly pulled him over there. .

"Is it expensive? I only brought so much money." Lin Yan took off the heavy money bag from his waist and showed it to Tu Er. He had been told that human money could be used in the monster market before, so he asked Madam Zhao. Mama asked for more.

"Enough is enough, bring so much money with you, be careful not to be stolen, put it away quickly." Tu Er took a look and pulled him to line up.

Lin Yan put away the purse and moved forward two steps, when suddenly someone bumped into her side.

"I'm sorry." The one who bumped into him was a monster with its tail exposed and a small cloth bag on its back. It had a young and childish face, and it looked slightly smaller than Lin Yan.

The little monster apologized to Lin Yan and left in a hurry.

"Little tree vine, there are bug sellers over there, buy me some." The little squirrel flew around and came back, landed on Lin Yan's shoulder, and patted Lin Yan's ears with its wings.

Lin Yan lowered his head to take the money, but was suddenly taken aback, where is the money bag on his waist?

Tu Er also looked down at his waist, and found that the purse was missing, and immediately realized, "It was a thief just now!"

Not long after the little monster escaped, Lin Yan and Tu Er hurried to chase it.

The little squirrel flew in the air, and after hearing Lin Yan's description, it soon discovered the little monster.Seeing them chasing after them, the little monster raised its tail and let out a cloud of gas to escape. Lin Yan's fingertips had quickly stretched out the vines, wrapped around his ankles and pulled him hard, dragging him to the ground.

"Cough, cough, cough..." The little monster is a weasel spirit, and the gas it emits smells terrible. Lin Yan wrapped him tightly with vines, dragged him to the side, pinched his nose and waited for the smell to dissipate before reaching out to him: "Give me back the purse!"

"Let go of my hand first." Weasel spirit moved his bound hand with difficulty, begging.

Lin Yan let go of the vine slightly and let go of his hand.Weasel Jingjiu took out the purse from his bosom, clutching it unwillingly to let it go, and said to Lin Yan: "You want to find Xuanyun ginseng? I know where it is, and I can find it."

"Can you find it?" Lin Yan's heart moved, and Tu Er said angrily, "Don't believe him, weasels are all liars. He knows Xuanyun ginseng, he must have heard our conversation just now, and has been eyeing you for a long time. , he lied to you."

The weasel spirit quickly denied, "No, I really know where it is, and I can find it for you!"

Lin Yan was worried that he was lying, but when she thought of Shen, she asked, "Find Xuanyun ginseng and give it to me, what conditions do you have?"

"All the money belongs to me." The weasel spirit squeezed the purse tightly.

Lin Yan nodded, "I'll give it to you when you find it."

Weasel shook his head, "No, I want the money now."

"Then how do we know you won't lie?" Xiao Huangque stood on top of Lin Yan's head and asked.

The weasel spirit hesitated for a moment, then took off the small cloth bag on his body and handed it to Lin Yan, "This is all my treasure, and I will mortgage it to you first."

Lin Yan took the small cloth bag and opened it for a look. There was only a book, an inconspicuous little stone, and a few sticks of incense inside.

"What are these things, can they be regarded as treasures?" Tu Er watched from the side, and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

The weasel spirit glared at him angrily, "That's right, baby, you ignorant rabbit spirit, you have no knowledge!"

Tu Er was anxious to scold him, but Lin Yan interrupted the two demons, "Can you really find Xuanyun Ginseng?"

Weasel nodded vigorously, "Yes!"

"Okay, then I believe you." Lin Yan hesitated for a moment and agreed, "You take the money, don't lie to me."

After he finished speaking, he remembered and asked, "How long will it take? Where can I find you?"

Weasel Jing thought for a while and said, "On the fourth day, Huang's noodle restaurant in Yong'an Alley, Dongshi City."

Lin Yan let go of the vines.

As soon as he broke free from the vine, the weasel got up and ran away.

Tu Er stomped angrily beside him, "How can you trust a weasel?!"

Lin Yan pursed her lips, for the sake of Shen Shi, even if there was only a glimmer of hope, he would try it.

On the official road, dozens of horse-drawn carriages were guarded by the imperial guards, and Rong Yuan rode in front on horseback.

Rong Yuan looked up at the sky, reined in the horse, and raised his hand to order to stop and rest.

"My lord." The guard brought water, Rong Yuan got off his horse, took a sip of water.

"Prince, slow down, don't fall down!" A court lady's exclamation came from a distance, and a child in a brocade robe ran over staggeringly.

With a "paji", he fell down five steps away from Rongyuan.

"Prince!" The maid chased after her, hurriedly picked up the child from the ground, nervously inspecting the child for any injuries from the fall.

The child didn't cry when he fell, and stared at Rong Yuan with his big eyes open.

"My lord." The maid picked up the child, bowed to Rong Yuan, and was about to turn around to go back when the child struggled in her arms.

The maid hurriedly bent down and put the child down, "Prince, what's the matter?"

The child broke free from her arm, ran forward a few steps unsteadily, and hugged Rong Yuan's leg with a "ba da".

Rong Yuan had no expression on his face, bent down and reached out to push him away, the corner of the child's mouth curled up, and he burst into tears.

Rong Yuan: ...

"My lord, please take the little prince home." The maid said helplessly.I don't know why, but the little prince is very affectionate when he sees the King of Beiling, always trying to get closer to the King of Beiling.

Rong Yuan stared at the kid in front of him with a sullen face for a while, then stretched out his hand to lift his belt, ready to carry him back into the carriage.

The palace maid beside her was worried, "Hug, my lord, you have to hug."

Rong Yuan turned a deaf ear, and walked towards the carriage behind with the little boy in one hand.The little prince was hanging in the air, seeming to think it was quite amusing, kicking his little arms and legs, giggling.

The palace servants serving in front of the queen's carriage, when they saw Rong Yuan approaching, they all hurriedly bowed and saluted, "My lord."

Rong Yuan put the little boy on the carriage, turned around to leave, but the little boy flattened his mouth and started crying again.

"My lord." The Queen's gentle voice came from the carriage, "Yi'er likes you, if your lord is fine, just play with Yi'er for a while."

"Empress..." Rong Yuan frowned, and was about to refuse, the little prince suddenly got up, kicked his short legs and climbed down the carriage, the palace man next to him couldn't react in time, the little prince fell straight to the ground.

Rong Yuan moved and stretched out his arms to catch him.

The little prince was not frightened at all, on the contrary he was very excited, hugged Rong Yuan's arms and rubbed into his arms, leaning his head against his chest and yawned.

"My lord, this way please." The maid wiped off her cold sweat, seeing that the little prince was a little sleepy, she said to Rong Yuan.

The little prince was in a carriage behind the queen, Rong Yuan went into the carriage to put him down, but the little prince's little hand grabbed his collar, his mouth was flattened and he was about to cry again.

With a sullen face, Rong Yuan reached out and took out a sweet-scented osmanthus candy from his bosom, peeled it off, and stuffed it into the little prince's mouth with sharp eyesight, blocking his crying.

The little prince had tears in his eyes, he squeezed the candy from his mouth, and slightly let go of his little hand.Taking advantage of the little prince's fingers relaxing, Rong Yuan quickly got out of the carriage.

Rong Yuan was not at home, Lin Yan only went to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the capital to visit Shen's family, and counted on his fingers the time to enter the palace during the Dragon Boat Festival.

The weather was fine that day, Lin Yan was lying in the gazebo by the lake, without a servant girl by his side, and was talking to the little squirrel about whether the weasel spirit was reliable, when a spider the size of a thumb suddenly fell from the pillar of the gazebo , hanging a spider silk, dangling in the air.

Lin Yan was startled and quickly got up, staring at the spider suspiciously, always feeling somewhat familiar.

"Little tree and vine, long time no see." The spider uttered words, swayed to the chair opposite Lin Yan, and in the blink of an eye, the spider turned into a graceful woman in tulle, leaning on the chair .
