National teacher, he is a sick beauty

At dawn on the second day, Shen Ci and his party got into the carriage and left the city, heading towards Qichuan.

Although the carriage is not big, it can accommodate four people, but compared with the carriage of the National Teacher's Mansion, it is a bit simpler after all.

Shen Ci took a brocade box from the side and put it on the low table, took out seven treasures and five flavors porridge from it, and gave each person a bowl.

Shen Ci said: "Today is the Laba Festival. I brought you some porridge with seven treasures and five flavors. It's hard for everyone to run around with me when the Chinese New Year is almost here."

Mo Qi looked at the porridge with seven treasures and five flavors, and directly picked it up: "It's just right, I didn't even eat breakfast, I'm starving to death."

Tangli also nodded: "Me too, this bowl of porridge came just right!"

Bai Sheng whispered: "Thank you, Mr. Shen."

The Laba Festival was very perfunctory, and Shen Ci felt sorry for it, but the four of them took a detour, and Shen Ci had to use his hands and feet to confuse the pursuers sent by Chu Lang on the way. It took five days to reach the next town. Xiangling.

Before the carriage reached the gate of the city, Shen Ci watched from a distance, and there was a queue at the gate of the city.

Something seems wrong.

Mo Qi poked his head out to look around: "No, the gates of the city are usually quite lax, and they will let them through without any major incidents. Why are people stopped and checked one by one today?"

Shen Ci's eyes moved slightly: "Your Majesty's movements are faster than I imagined."

Mo Qi raised his eyebrows: "You mean... we are wanted?!"

Shen Ci took another look and shook his head: "It should not be wanted. If His Majesty wanted to find me, he wouldn't make such a big fuss. He understands me. If he tries to scare the snake, it will be bad for him. This may be because the people below have passed the wrong order."

Mo Qi nodded: "Then what should we do? Turn around? Detour?"

Shen Ci frowned, but it was a bit troublesome: "I have planned to lead the pursuers to another place halfway, if I change the route at this moment, I am afraid that I will run into your Majesty's people."

That was a disaster.

Mo Qi scratched his head for a long time. Their carriage was conspicuous, and they were about to be spotted by the soldiers at the gate of the city. Mo Qi tentatively asked, "Why don't you try our exclusive cross-dressing technique?"

The three looked at him: "?"

Half an hour later, the gate of Xiangling City was carrying out investigations in an orderly manner, and the guards compared them one by one with scrolls in their hands.

After a while, it was Mo Qi's turn.

Mo Qi looked like a scholar, with a book basket on his back, and a woman who was covering her face with one arm.

The guard stopped him: "What are you doing?"

Mo Qi said very respectfully: "Oh, my lord, the younger one is a scholar who went to Beijing to catch the exam. Isn't this going to be Chunwei soon, so hurry up."

The guard looked him up and down, and seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, his eyes fell on the three people next to him: "How many of them are there?"

Mo Qi took advantage of the situation and put his arms around Shen Ci: "This is my wife, and the one next to me is the concubine and the bookboy."

He pointed to Bai Sheng and Tangli beside him.

The guard stared straight at Shen Ci without moving his eyes: "Such a beautiful lady, do you think it's your wife or your wife?"

Mo Qi wanted to beat him up, but...

A small leak will sink a great ship.

Mo Qi thought for a while, and said to Shen Ci: "Cough, lady, listen to your voice."

Shen Ci glanced at him, but didn't speak.

Bai Sheng on the side pulled Chen Ci, changed positions with him, took Mo Qi's arm and said, "Master, my sister is still sick, we still have to see the doctor, are you alright, can you go in?" .”

While talking, he winked at the city gate guards, those eyes were very agile, completely different from the calm look of Gu Bo before.

The guard's heart softened immediately, he swallowed, and said, "Come on, let's go."

Mo Qi forced a smile on his face and was led into the city by Bai Sheng's arms.

Shen Ci and Tang Li looked at each other with a smile in their eyes.

When the four of them entered the city, Shen Ci wanted to change this female attire, but Mo Qi stopped him: "Just based on your appearance, if you change it now, you will be recognized."

Shen Ci frowned: "Could it be that I want to show people this appearance in the future?"

Mo Qi: "But the bamboo hat is too eye-catching, isn't there no silver 300 taels here?"

Shen Ci knew that what Mo Qi said was reasonable, but he still felt uncomfortable.

On the other hand, Tang Li, who is a woman disguised as a man, and Bai Sheng, who is also a man disguised as a woman, are much more natural.

The former is because of novelty, while the latter, Shen Ci can see from his indifferent eyes, should be used to it.

Xiangling was tens of kilometers away from the capital, and Chu Lang must not have caught up so easily, not to mention the Chinese New Year is coming soon, according to their current journey, they must not be able to reach Qichuan before the Chinese New Year.

Bai Sheng was walking on the road and asked Shen Ci: "Why does Mr. Shen want to go to Qichuan?"

Shen Ci said lightly: "It's all about seeing different scenery. You left the capital and regained your freedom. Don't you want to see the vastness of the world, enjoy the beauty of the world, and... live for yourself once?"

Bai Sheng looked at Shen Ci, but was unable to speak.

He knew that Shen Ci had been guarding against him all the way, otherwise, why would Shen Ci go to such trouble to avoid Chu Lang's pursuers, because Shen Ci not only wanted to avoid the pursuers, but also to prevent him from tipping off Chu Lang.

But in fact, he didn't report the letter at all, because he was very envious of Shen Ci.

He envied that Shen Ci could let go of everything and become a free person after escaping from the capital. He also wanted to abandon everything and return to the past, the Bai Sheng from a long time ago.

Within half an hour, Shen Ci found that many people were looking at them intentionally or unintentionally.

"Hey, is this the beautiful and beautiful little lady who was talking about at the gate of the city?"

"The rumors at the door are in full swing, saying that they are prettier than the people in the portraits in their hands."

"I can't see clearly with a veil."

"Look at those eyes, full of affection, she is definitely a beauty!"

Shen Ci just glanced at him without any emotion.

Mo Qi burst out laughing from the side, and he said, "Ah Ci, you also have today hahahaha, full of affection, it's so funny hahahaha."

Bai Sheng beside him also smiled.

He also heard Mo Qi teasing: "These four words are more or less given to Bai Sheng."

Shen Ci glanced at Mo Qi silently.

Mo Qi realized later that he had said something inappropriate, so he quickly covered his mouth.

Bai Sheng smiled and said: "It's okay, I know you're just joking, I'm not someone who can't afford to take jokes."

Mo Qi nodded and put his hand down.

As Shen Ci walked, he was thinking, since Chu Lang can't scare the snake, why did Xiangling not listen to the imperial order with great fanfare?

Could it be…

Shen Ci stared at the direction of the city gate for a while, then suddenly grabbed Mo Qi's hand, and said seriously, "Leave quickly."

Mo Qi was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Shen Ci pulled him to walk quickly: "Your Majesty is here, don't ask so many questions, go quickly."

The four got into the carriage and hurriedly left through the south gate.

Mo Qi pulled Bai Sheng up: "It was you who tipped off Chu Lang?!"

Bai Sheng quickly waved his hands: "No, I didn't..."

But he couldn't prove his innocence, so he could only defend himself baselessly.

How could Mo Qi believe him? Tangli on the side also looked at him with staring eyes.

"It wasn't you, we escaped well, and the master went out of his way to avoid the officers and soldiers' search, and you are the only one here who can tip off the news!"

"Chu Lang came so fast, who else could it be if it wasn't you?"

Bai Sheng looked at Shen Ci aggrievedly.

Shen Ci held Mo Qi's hand, making him block Bai Sheng, saying: "It's not him, he really didn't report."

"?" Mo Qi looked at Shen Ci with confusion.

Shen Ci raised the curtain and looked behind the carriage, but no one was catching up.

Shen Ci said: "It's my problem. I used the old tricks to distract His Majesty's pursuers, but I forgot that His Majesty is my student after all. He understands me. He already guessed that I would distract him and disperse his troops." Therefore, this time he counted me first, seeing through that I deliberately lured him to other towns, only Xiangling, I didn't make any arrangements, so he guessed."

Mo Qi pouted: "This little emperor is pretty smart."

Shen Ci glanced at Bai Sheng who was sitting next to him with his head down, and winked at Mo Qi and Tang Li.

Mo Qi is a man with no pretensions. He has been a beggar before. If there is any problem with face, he just apologizes if he made a mistake.

So he raised his hand to touch Bai Sheng.

Bai Sheng hid in fright and hid behind Shen Ci.

Mo Qi could only withdraw his hand in embarrassment, and rubbed his head: "Don't be angry, I blamed you just now, after getting off the carriage, I'll buy you wine, and I'll treat you to the best wine!"

Ever since Bai Sheng lived in a brothel, no one has treated him as an ordinary person. He is a low-class slave, a low/lowly person who serves others, and deserves to be beaten and kicked by others.

Now hearing such a serious apology, I can't help but feel a sore nose.

Tangli is Shen Ci's maid, and she is also an airless person. Mo Qi apologized, and Shen Ci explained for Bai Sheng. She also apologized: "Mr. Bai, Tangli made a mistake on you."

Bai Sheng poked his head out from behind Shen Ci, and shook his head lightly: "I'm fine, there's no need to do this."

Shen Ci looked at him and said: "You don't need to do this, no one here sees you as an inferior person."

Bai Sheng pursed his lips and smiled, "Thank you Shen Da... Mr. Shen."

At the gate of Xiangling City, there was the sound of horseshoes stomping heavily on the dust. He hurried to the gate. The man was riding a tall horse, standing upright against the light. High up and down.

"Where's the person in the portrait?"

The guards at the city gate didn't know who it was, but they saw that this person had gloomy eyes and a stern face, and he looked not to be trifled with.

It should be a nobleman in the palace, maybe the general surnamed Gu.

So the guard cupped his fists and saluted: "Go back to my lord, I haven't seen it yet."

Chu Lang snorted coldly, his face sinking like water: "If you are blind, don't put your eyes in their sockets."

He came a step late again...
