"Hey, what are you thinking?" Seeing that Gu Min was staring at her without speaking, Shen Ying couldn't help but waved her hand in front of him.
Gu Min restrained himself, and couldn't help but think a little self-deprecatingly, his jump might seem unnecessary to Shen Ying, but to him, it might not be worth it.
"It's nothing." Gu Min lowered his head and glanced. The clothes on his body were soaked. The clothes were soaked in water and hung on him, so he lifted up the hem of his clothes and wrung the water dry, "I'm just guessing what the emperor will do next. What do you plan to do?"
Shen Ying rubbed his forehead. His original plan was to hide under the cover of Lin Fan and the others for a few days. Anyway, the Yulin Army is now under the control of Lin Che, and he is not afraid that they will be found by the Yulin Army.
After two days, let the Habayashi army find his "corpse" that has been soaked beyond recognition in the water. The queen mother and Du Qianren will take it for granted that the emperor has been killed, and the two parties will definitely fight for the throne.
When they fight and lose both sides, it is time for him to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
But now the plan was disrupted by Gu Min's appearance.
He just said that there were only the two of them. Of course, he couldn't tell Gu Min right away that there were actually guards protecting him in secret. Besides, if there were guards following along the way, the identities of the monarch and his ministers would be in the way between him and Gu Min. There is always a gap between them, and the sincerity can't be tested.
So... Shen Ying made up her mind, she didn't tell Gu Min about the guards, and pretended that they were the only two of them walking together, first to cover up their identities and see how the situation would develop, and then wait for the opportunity.
"My first plan is," Shen Ying looked up and down at Gu Min's distressed look, and said with a joking smile, "Change our outfits first! Our clothes are too conspicuous now, if you want to To avoid being searched by officers and soldiers, you have to disguise yourself."
Gu Min took a look at the gold-woven dragon-patterned square-neck double-breasted sleeveless armor worn by the emperor, it was indeed very conspicuous, and he himself was wearing Jinyiwei's iconic flying fish suit. If the two of them walked down the street dressed like this , must cause a riot.
Gu Min asked: "Has the emperor prepared a change of clothes?"
Shen Ying: "..."
When he was an emperor, he was used to being served by others, so his luggage and other things were naturally placed with Lin Fan, but now he couldn't expose the presence of guards, so naturally he couldn't get his luggage.
Gu Min asked suspiciously: "It's okay for the emperor to travel alone without a guard, and he doesn't even bring his clothes?"
Shen Ying blinked, had an idea, stared at Gu Min and slapped him upside down, "What are you talking about! If it wasn't for saving you just now, my luggage wouldn't have fallen into the water. Now I don't know if it sank to the bottom of the river or Washed away by the water!"
Gu Min was skeptical, "Really?"
"Yeah." Shen Ying didn't change his face, looked at Gu Min's waist, saw a pouch hanging on his belt, and quickly reached out to grab it, "Do you have any money with you? If you don't even , then we can only drink the northwest wind along the way!"
Naturally, the purse had also been soaked in water. Shen Ying tore it off and opened it in his hand. There were a few ingots of silver and a few banknotes that were already soaked. The two should be able to last for a few days with these broken silver.
"It's okay, it's okay, you didn't lose your wallet," Shen Ying patted her chest and let out a sigh of relief, and said with a smile on her face, "We don't have to eat and sleep in the open."
As he spoke, he naturally wanted to stuff Gu Min's wallet into his arms. After all, there were only the two of them on this journey, and whoever held the economic power had the right to speak.
It's a pity that Gu Min had seen through Shen Ying's small thoughts long ago, and just when Shen Ying was about to tuck the purse into her clothes, Gu Min calmly grabbed her wrist, "Your Majesty, please put the purse in your hand." Return the minister's purse to the minister."
Shen Ying raised her eyebrows and looked at Gu Min, pretending to be dissatisfied and said: "What do you mean? It's already this time, what do you want to share with me? Do you think that I will covet your little money?"
"I don't mean that," Gu Min smiled, and calmly but resolutely took the purse back from Shen Ying's grasping hand, "I'm worried that the emperor didn't have the habit of carrying money with him before. It would be bad if we lost the little money we have. The money is still kept by the minister, and the emperor can tell the minister what he wants to eat and buy."
Shen Ying watched helplessly as Gu Min hid the purse in his jacket, and thought unwillingly, if he had to tell Gu Min what he wanted to eat and buy along the way, wouldn't it be embarrassing for him?It's as if it's been taken care of.
But no matter how unwilling he was, the money belonged to someone else after all, and he couldn't bear to grab it with Gu Min, so he could only droop the corners of his mouth and said wearily: "Okay, since you have the money, then think about how to change your career."
Gu Min raised the back of his hand to wipe his face, looked up at the sky, and said, "Let's go down the mountain first, lest the Habayashi army search here and they will find our whereabouts. There should be an Orion farmhouse at the foot of the mountain, let's see if we can follow us." Common people borrow some clothes."
They were afraid of bumping into the Habayashi army when walking on the main road, so the two picked a path in the forest and walked down the mountain, while Lin Fan led the guards and followed them from a distance.
When they were about to leave the woods, the two saw a hut at the foot of the mountain, and they could see a few clothes hanging in front of the hut from a distance, so they quietly leaned over to check the situation.
After getting closer, he took a closer look and found that the gate was closed and locked, and there was no sound in the small courtyard surrounded by fences. The owner of the hut should not be at home, so Gu Min flew into the courtyard with light work and took the bamboo pole. Of course, he didn't forget to leave a piece of broken silver on the window sill of the clothes when he left, which was money for clothes.
The two found a hidden place, changed their clothes, and walked down Yulong Mountain pretending to be ordinary people.
But the two of them didn't have mounts, and their walking speed was too slow. Fortunately, not long after they descended the mountain, they met a businessman who was driving a carriage to escort the goods to the capital.
Gu Min stopped the carriage driven by the merchant, and lied that he came from the countryside and was going to the capital to join his relatives, but they didn't know the way to the capital, and his younger brother fell ill, so he wanted to give the merchant some money, and asked the merchant Please take them all the way.
The businessman saw that they both had pretty features, they didn't look like bad guys, and saw that the sick younger brother seemed to have a high fever, his eyes were closed tightly, his little face was flushed, and he was leaning against his elder brother's arms weakly, looking very pitiful. , thinking that it’s a drop in anyway, it’s not easy for anyone to go out, and it’s a hand if they can help, so they accepted the money and readily agreed.
Gu Min thanked the businessman, and helped his sick and frail younger brother into the carriage. When the carriage started to run, the curtain fell and separated the businessman's sight. Gu Min moved away from his shoulders, turned his head and stared at Gu Min fiercely with piercing eyes, and complained in a low voice: "Next time you will pretend to be sick!"
With a smile on the corner of Gu Min's mouth, he stretched out his hand to rub Shen Ying's head, and said in a low voice, "Yes, as long as you can support me."
Shen Ying slapped Gu Min's hand away in dissatisfaction, and said in a low voice, "Presumptuous! The real dragon emperor's head can be touched at will? I don't think you want a head anymore."
"Your Majesty," Gu Min glanced at the curtain, and then leaned closer to Shen Ying's ear to remind him, "Be careful that the walls have ears. In order to prevent people from discovering our true identities, I can only wrong you to cooperate temporarily. I remind you again." Our new identities, now we are a pair of brothers who came to Beijing from the countryside to find relatives, so in front of people, you have to address me as elder brother, and you can't use 'zhen' and 'chen' to call yourself, understand?"
"Then please ask, brother." Shen Ying looked down at Gu Min's arms around his waist, then raised her head and asked Gu Min with a smile, "Do you need to hug your waist to help you?"
Gu Min immediately let go of his hand in a gentlemanly manner, "Sorry, I got used to it for a while, and I haven't changed it."
Shen Ying: "..." Why did he suddenly feel like he dug a hole for himself?
Gu Min glanced outside through the window of the carriage, "We'll get off the train in the town ahead, and we'll find an inn to stay in tonight. There are too many people in the inn, so we have to talk to each other first. In order not to be suspicious when being questioned by others."
Shen Ying had no objection to this, and nodded: "Okay."
"First, change your name and surname." Gu Min thought for a moment, "Choose a surname at will, just use 'Xu'."
Shen Ying frowned in confusion: "Why do you want to use the surname 'Xu'? Isn't it better to be surnamed Gu or Shen?"
"Using my real surname may attract attention, so it's best not to." Gu Min explained rationally, "Using Xu's surname, more than two people, means that the two of us can survive the disaster this time, isn't it very good?"
Shen Ying thought about it for a while, "Hearing what you said, the meaning is good, so let's use Xu. Have you figured out what to call it?"
Gu Min stared intently at Shen Ying's eyes, his expression suddenly became more serious than ever before, and he said slowly, "I'm Xu Jingcheng, the scene of Jing Xing Xing Zhi, the Cheng of peace in the world."
Shen Ying was confused by Gu Min's sudden earnestness, and repeated Gu Min's new name, "Xu Jingcheng, Jing Xingxingzhi, Tianxia Taiping, this name sounds good." He laughed and said, "However, just choose a fake name to deal with it. If you want to be serious, then you can also choose a name for me, and I will use it to walk around in the rivers and lakes in the future."
Gu Min's heart throbbed for no reason, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, he observed Shen Ying's face quietly, and tentatively said: "Then why not call it Jingming, which means Chunhe Jingming."
"Xu Jingming?" Shen Ying repeated, twitching the corners of her mouth, and casually nodded, "Okay, then I will use this name when I come out for private visits on Weibo in the future."
Shen Ying spoke in a very indifferent tone, as if the name "Xu Jingming" was no different from "Zhang San" and "Li Si" in his eyes.
But to Gu Min with ulterior motives, it has another meaning. Although it is only a temporary fake name, and although Shen Ying doesn't know what the surname "Xu" means to him, Gu Min still can't help but think of a folk name. According to the custom, after folk couples get married, the wife should take the husband's surname.
Even though it was a fake, when Shen Ying was willing to use "Xu" as his surname, Gu Min still felt elated.
Shen Ying keenly noticed that the corners of Gu Min's mouth seemed to be a little upturned, and couldn't help asking suspiciously, "What are you happy about?"
Gu Min lowered his head, pursed his thin lips and smiled silently, "It's nothing, let's continue talking..."
When the two of them were in the carriage thinking about how to respond to other people's interrogation of their identity, the carriage happened to arrive at a town called "Fulai Town". Gu Min then used the excuse that it was getting late and wanted to enter the town to help his younger brother find a doctor To see a doctor, wait for my younger brother to get well before going to Beijing, and ask the businessman to stop the car and let them get off.
The businessman didn't suspect him, and drove them away after sending them to the entrance of the town.
Fulai Town is close to the outskirts of Beijing, so it is also considered prosperous, with all kinds of inns, restaurants, pawnshops and so on.
The two walked into Fulai Town, the sun was setting, the sky was almost dark, and they were about to find an inn to stay in. Suddenly, a group of soldiers came and searched the streets from house to house, especially for shops like inns and restaurants. , as if looking for someone.
The two hurriedly stopped the steps that were about to enter the inn, turned around and flashed into an inconspicuous alley, secretly observing the movement outside.
These officers and soldiers saw that the official uniforms they were wearing should be from the local army, not from the Jinyiwei in the capital and the soldiers of the five cities. Who are they searching for?
But no matter who the officers and soldiers are searching for, Gu Min and Shen Ying can't take the risk of staying in the inn. They are outsiders, and as long as they look unfamiliar, they will inevitably attract the attention of others. He couldn't bear the careful interrogation of the officers and soldiers. Once his flaws were revealed, his identity would be suspected, and it would be troublesome.
Shen Ying hid behind Gu Min, probed her head and asked softly, "Do you think these officers and soldiers are looking for me?"
Gu Min: "It's possible."
Shen Ying: "Then tell me, whose order are they following? The Empress Dowager or Du Qianren?"
Gu Min: "The empress dowager would definitely not want to leak information about the emperor's disappearance, so she wouldn't look for someone in such a big way. The commotion here is so loud, it can only be something that Du Qianren, who is eager to know that the emperor is missing, will do it."
Shen Ying sneered and said: "I'm sure, the queen mother has never been like this, I hope that the emperor can live well. Oh, I really want to see the expression on the old witch's face now, it must be very exciting."
"Instead of thinking about these things, let's think about where we can stay tonight." Gu Min turned around, looked helplessly at Shen Ying who was still gloating, "I can't stay in the inn, and the people's homes are not safe tonight. It is very likely that you will have to spend the night outside, can you bear it?"
Shen Ying stared at Gu Min, and rebuked without panting: "Of course not! No, I said Gu Junshu, are you so capable? It's only the first day, and you have the heart to let me sleep on the street? I followed you because I believed in you, can you do it?"
Asking a man "can he do it" is in itself a great insult to a man.
Gu Min looked at Shen Ying with a half-smile, and asked, "Then dare to ask the emperor, if it weren't for me, you came out without guards and without making troubles, how would the situation be better than it is now?"
Shen Ying was almost laughed angrily by Gu Min, shit, if it weren't for you, a stubborn person, who insisted on jumping off and spoiling my good deed, I might have been lying in the gentle village by now, being served by people with good food and drink up!You still dare to be rampant with me, believe it or not, if I give an order, dozens of burly men will rush out and chop you up?
But a little intolerance can lead to big schemes, Shen Ying is too lazy to argue with Gu Min, if Gu Min can't think of a way, then he thinks for himself.
Wait, what did he seem to think of just now?Gentle country!
A brilliant idea popped up in Shen Ying's mind, and she raised her eyebrows proudly at Gu Min, "I know where to go, I can eat and sleep well, and I don't have to worry about meeting officers and soldiers!"
Gu Min didn't understand, so he asked, "Where?"
Shen Ying raised her head and went out to see that the officers and soldiers on the street outside had gone far away, she quickly pulled Gu Min along and walked out of the alley, "Follow me!"
After a cup of tea, the two of them stood in front of an attic with red lanterns hanging high on both sides of the door of a store. There were several beautifully dressed girls standing at the door of the attic to greet the guests. Chinese language and silk and bamboo wind music came out, and a huge plaque hung on the attic, with the words "Famous Flower Pavilion" written on it.
Shen Ying felt that it was absolutely impossible for another person to come up with the idea she came up with, so she couldn't help asking the person next to her triumphantly, "I'm staying here tonight, what do you think?"
Gu Min gave him a sideways glance, a sneer escaped from his throat, and turned away without saying a word.
Shen Ying hurriedly turned around to catch up, and pulled him back, "Why are you going? Isn't this place bad? Tell me, who would have thought that I would appear in a brothel? This is the safest place, okay?"
"No." Gu Min stopped in his footsteps, but his expression remained unmoved, "Don't even think about it."
Shen Ying leaned behind Gu Min, lowered her voice and warned, "What? How dare you resist the order?"
"Don't dare." Gu Min remained motionless, "You can go in by yourself."
Shen Ying thought about it, but he has no money with him!
"Then you give me the silver." Shen Ying poked Gu Min's arm with her finger.
Gu Min's tone was calm, and he said casually: "The money is mine, why did I give it to you?"
Shen Ying said angrily: "I'll ask you to borrow it, is it alright? When I get back to the palace, I will pay you back a hundred times! Is this all right?"
Gu Min turned his head and glanced at Shen Ying, then smiled shortly, "What I'm short of is money?"
Shen Ying rolled up her sleeves, pointed at Gu Min and waved her hands again and again, "Okay, you were tested by me, right? You pretended to be respectful to me in the palace. It took less than a day, and your nature was exposed, right? I I rewarded you with so many treasures before, but now I just ask you for a few taels of silver and you refuse to give it, Gu Junshu, have you really put me in your eyes?"
Gu Min didn't change his expression in the face of the accusation, and said calmly: "In the palace, you are the emperor, and I am a subject, so I naturally have to obey what you say."
"So you don't have to listen to me when you leave the palace, right?" Shen Ying sneered, and said with a snort, "I guessed that you have two faces inside and outside the palace, as expected."
"Outside the palace, now I'm the elder brother and you are the younger brother. It's your turn to listen to me." Gu Min held Shen Ying's hand, and directly pulled him away from Qing.Lou, "I said no to go, so I won't go."
Shen Ying dragged her body backwards and refused to leave, "Then tell me, where are we going to sleep tonight? What are we going to eat? You can't even go to inns and restaurants. You really want to take me to sleep on the street? No, I can't stand this kind of grievance." !"
Gu Min turned his head back, with a preaching tone: "Now is an extraordinary time, a little unbearable will lead to great chaos."
Shen Ying raised her eyebrows and said: "But why should I endure it? I'm not on the run. I came out this time not only to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, but also to make a private visit to experience the customs of the Daying Dynasty. Don't you If you think about things too complicated, you will naturally understand when the boat arrives at the bridge?"
Gu Min disagreed and asked back: "So visiting Qinglou is the way for you to experience the local customs?"
Shen Ying said eloquently, "Isn't that because there is only Qinglou now? Is it safe for the time being? Think about it, the Queen Mother and Du Qianren are looking for me, but they can't figure it out even if they want to break their heads. The emperor is actually hiding in Qinglou. Don't you think this hiding place I'm thinking of is wonderful?"
Gu Min listened to Shen Ying's words clearly and logically, not as if he just wanted to spend time and drink, he was a little shaken, "It's really just to avoid arrest, not for fun?"
Shen Ying lowered her face, and said unhappily: "Do you think I will be that kind of lustful and licentious fool?"
Gu Min did not hesitate: "No."
Shen Ying rolled her eyes, and asked tentatively: "Then you don't have it now, or have you never been?"
Gu Min thought of the past, hesitated for a moment, and at this moment, Shen Ying accurately captured Gu Min's hand, and complained excitedly: "Ha! You hesitated! Let me try it out again! It means that you thought of me that way before, right? You still don't admit that you are a double-faced person!"
Gu Min: "..."
Seeing that Gu Min was speechless, Shen Ying became more and more proud, hey, you are a traitor, you will reveal your true nature as soon as you leave the palace, see if I don't expose all your old feelings!
Gu Min realized that if Shen Ying asked this question again, something serious might happen, so he tilted his head and coughed in embarrassment, and changed the subject: "I suddenly think your idea is very good, Qing. Lou is indeed a good place for Tibetans .”
Shen Ying couldn't tell that he was guilty, but he was not in a hurry to have a showdown with Gu Min. It would be interesting to boil the frog in warm water, and said with a cold snort, "I said you would be fine if you promised earlier?"
Gu Min glanced at Yingying Yanyan, who was waiting for customers at the gate of Wanhua Pavilion, "It's fine to go in, but you have to agree on the three chapters of the agreement first. First, you are not allowed to touch the people inside, neither men nor women; second, you must behave in a low-key manner. Don't attract the attention of others; third, the two of us will share a room at night."
Shen Ying sneered and said, "Don't you think that the second and third of yours contradict each other? How can there be two big men hanging out in Qing Dynasty. They live in the same room at night? Can this attract others' attention?"
Gu Min said sullenly, "Then I won't go."
Shen Ying scolded her mother in her heart, and pushed Gu Min towards Qing.Walk in the direction of the building, "All right, all right, do as you say! You have the money and you have the final say!"
The guards of the Lin family who had been secretly protecting the emperor were hiding in the dark and saw the emperor swaggering into Qing.Behind the stairs, everyone was dumbfounded.
This little emperor is a ruthless person, he never forgot to spend his life and drink when he escaped for his life, and what's even more unbelievable is that he even took his male favorite to go shopping with him.building?
"Boss? What should we do now?" A guard asked Lin Fan what he meant.
Lin Fan has followed Lin Zhenyue for many years, and he has never encountered such a difficult task. He rubbed his forehead and said, "Let the two brothers disguise themselves and sneak in to follow the emperor. If there is any danger, immediately send a signal to warn."
The author has something to say: Gu Min: Outside the palace, I am the husband and you are my wife, so you have to listen to me.
Gu Min restrained himself, and couldn't help but think a little self-deprecatingly, his jump might seem unnecessary to Shen Ying, but to him, it might not be worth it.
"It's nothing." Gu Min lowered his head and glanced. The clothes on his body were soaked. The clothes were soaked in water and hung on him, so he lifted up the hem of his clothes and wrung the water dry, "I'm just guessing what the emperor will do next. What do you plan to do?"
Shen Ying rubbed his forehead. His original plan was to hide under the cover of Lin Fan and the others for a few days. Anyway, the Yulin Army is now under the control of Lin Che, and he is not afraid that they will be found by the Yulin Army.
After two days, let the Habayashi army find his "corpse" that has been soaked beyond recognition in the water. The queen mother and Du Qianren will take it for granted that the emperor has been killed, and the two parties will definitely fight for the throne.
When they fight and lose both sides, it is time for him to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
But now the plan was disrupted by Gu Min's appearance.
He just said that there were only the two of them. Of course, he couldn't tell Gu Min right away that there were actually guards protecting him in secret. Besides, if there were guards following along the way, the identities of the monarch and his ministers would be in the way between him and Gu Min. There is always a gap between them, and the sincerity can't be tested.

Gu Min asked suspiciously: "It's okay for the emperor to travel alone without a guard, and he doesn't even bring his clothes?"
Shen Ying blinked, had an idea, stared at Gu Min and slapped him upside down, "What are you talking about! If it wasn't for saving you just now, my luggage wouldn't have fallen into the water. Now I don't know if it sank to the bottom of the river or Washed away by the water!"
Gu Min was skeptical, "Really?"
"Yeah." Shen Ying didn't change his face, looked at Gu Min's waist, saw a pouch hanging on his belt, and quickly reached out to grab it, "Do you have any money with you? If you don't even , then we can only drink the northwest wind along the way!"
Naturally, the purse had also been soaked in water. Shen Ying tore it off and opened it in his hand. There were a few ingots of silver and a few banknotes that were already soaked. The two should be able to last for a few days with these broken silver.
"It's okay, it's okay, you didn't lose your wallet," Shen Ying patted her chest and let out a sigh of relief, and said with a smile on her face, "We don't have to eat and sleep in the open."
As he spoke, he naturally wanted to stuff Gu Min's wallet into his arms. After all, there were only the two of them on this journey, and whoever held the economic power had the right to speak.
It's a pity that Gu Min had seen through Shen Ying's small thoughts long ago, and just when Shen Ying was about to tuck the purse into her clothes, Gu Min calmly grabbed her wrist, "Your Majesty, please put the purse in your hand." Return the minister's purse to the minister."
Shen Ying raised her eyebrows and looked at Gu Min, pretending to be dissatisfied and said: "What do you mean? It's already this time, what do you want to share with me? Do you think that I will covet your little money?"
"I don't mean that," Gu Min smiled, and calmly but resolutely took the purse back from Shen Ying's grasping hand, "I'm worried that the emperor didn't have the habit of carrying money with him before. It would be bad if we lost the little money we have. The money is still kept by the minister, and the emperor can tell the minister what he wants to eat and buy."
Shen Ying watched helplessly as Gu Min hid the purse in his jacket, and thought unwillingly, if he had to tell Gu Min what he wanted to eat and buy along the way, wouldn't it be embarrassing for him?It's as if it's been taken care of.
But no matter how unwilling he was, the money belonged to someone else after all, and he couldn't bear to grab it with Gu Min, so he could only droop the corners of his mouth and said wearily: "Okay, since you have the money, then think about how to change your career."

There should be an Orion farmhouse at the foot of the mountain, let's see if we can follow us." Common people borrow some clothes."
They were afraid of bumping into the Habayashi army when walking on the main road, so the two picked a path in the forest and walked down the mountain, while Lin Fan led the guards and followed them from a distance.
When they were about to leave the woods, the two saw a hut at the foot of the mountain, and they could see a few clothes hanging in front of the hut from a distance, so they quietly leaned over to check the situation.
After getting closer, he took a closer look and found that the gate was closed and locked, and there was no sound in the small courtyard surrounded by fences.

But the two of them didn't have mounts, and their walking speed was too slow. Fortunately, not long after they descended the mountain, they met a businessman who was driving a carriage to escort the goods to the capital.
Gu Min stopped the carriage driven by the merchant, and lied that he came from the countryside and was going to the capital to join his relatives, but they didn't know the way to the capital, and his younger brother fell ill, so he wanted to give the merchant some money, and asked the merchant Please take them all the way.
The businessman saw that they both had pretty features, they didn't look like bad guys, and saw that the sick younger brother seemed to have a high fever, his eyes were closed tightly, his little face was flushed, and he was leaning against his elder brother's arms weakly, looking very pitiful. , thinking that it’s a drop in anyway, it’s not easy for anyone to go out, and it’s a hand if they can help, so they accepted the money and readily agreed.

Our new identities, now we are a pair of brothers who came to Beijing from the countryside to find relatives, so in front of people, you have to address me as elder brother, and you can't use 'zhen' and 'chen' to call yourself, understand?"
"Then please ask, brother." Shen Ying looked down at Gu Min's arms around his waist, then raised her head and asked Gu Min with a smile, "Do you need to hug your waist to help you?"
Gu Min immediately let go of his hand in a gentlemanly manner, "Sorry, I got used to it for a while, and I haven't changed it."
Shen Ying: "..." Why did he suddenly feel like he dug a hole for himself?
Gu Min glanced outside through the window of the carriage, "We'll get off the train in the town ahead, and we'll find an inn to stay in tonight. There are too many people in the inn, so we have to talk to each other first. In order not to be suspicious when being questioned by others."
Shen Ying had no objection to this, and nodded: "Okay."
"First, change your name and surname." Gu Min thought for a moment, "Choose a surname at will, just use 'Xu'."
Shen Ying frowned in confusion: "Why do you want to use the surname 'Xu'? Isn't it better to be surnamed Gu or Shen?"
"Using my real surname may attract attention, so it's best not to." Gu Min explained rationally, "Using Xu's surname, more than two people, means that the two of us can survive the disaster this time, isn't it very good?"
Shen Ying thought about it for a while, "Hearing what you said, the meaning is good, so let's use Xu. Have you figured out what to call it?"
Gu Min stared intently at Shen Ying's eyes, his expression suddenly became more serious than ever before, and he said slowly, "I'm Xu Jingcheng, the scene of Jing Xing Xing Zhi, the Cheng of peace in the world."
Shen Ying was confused by Gu Min's sudden earnestness, and repeated Gu Min's new name, "Xu Jingcheng, Jing Xingxingzhi, Tianxia Taiping, this name sounds good." He laughed and said, "However, just choose a fake name to deal with it. If you want to be serious, then you can also choose a name for me, and I will use it to walk around in the rivers and lakes in the future."
Gu Min's heart throbbed for no reason, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, he observed Shen Ying's face quietly, and tentatively said: "Then why not call it Jingming, which means Chunhe Jingming."
"Xu Jingming?" Shen Ying repeated, twitching the corners of her mouth, and casually nodded, "Okay, then I will use this name when I come out for private visits on Weibo in the future."
Shen Ying spoke in a very indifferent tone, as if the name "Xu Jingming" was no different from "Zhang San" and "Li Si" in his eyes.
But to Gu Min with ulterior motives, it has another meaning. Although it is only a temporary fake name, and although Shen Ying doesn't know what the surname "Xu" means to him, Gu Min still can't help but think of a folk name. According to the custom, after folk couples get married, the wife should take the husband's surname.
Even though it was a fake, when Shen Ying was willing to use "Xu" as his surname, Gu Min still felt elated.
Shen Ying keenly noticed that the corners of Gu Min's mouth seemed to be a little upturned, and couldn't help asking suspiciously, "What are you happy about?"
Gu Min lowered his head, pursed his thin lips and smiled silently, "It's nothing, let's continue talking..."
When the two of them were in the carriage thinking about how to respond to other people's interrogation of their identity, the carriage happened to arrive at a town called "Fulai Town". Gu Min then used the excuse that it was getting late and wanted to enter the town to help his younger brother find a doctor To see a doctor, wait for my younger brother to get well before going to Beijing, and ask the businessman to stop the car and let them get off.
The businessman didn't suspect him, and drove them away after sending them to the entrance of the town.
Fulai Town is close to the outskirts of Beijing, so it is also considered prosperous, with all kinds of inns, restaurants, pawnshops and so on.
The two walked into Fulai Town, the sun was setting, the sky was almost dark, and they were about to find an inn to stay in. Suddenly, a group of soldiers came and searched the streets from house to house, especially for shops like inns and restaurants. , as if looking for someone.
The two hurriedly stopped the steps that were about to enter the inn, turned around and flashed into an inconspicuous alley, secretly observing the movement outside.
These officers and soldiers saw that the official uniforms they were wearing should be from the local army, not from the Jinyiwei in the capital and the soldiers of the five cities. Who are they searching for?
But no matter who the officers and soldiers are searching for, Gu Min and Shen Ying can't take the risk of staying in the inn. They are outsiders, and as long as they look unfamiliar, they will inevitably attract the attention of others. He couldn't bear the careful interrogation of the officers and soldiers. Once his flaws were revealed, his identity would be suspected, and it would be troublesome.
Shen Ying hid behind Gu Min, probed her head and asked softly, "Do you think these officers and soldiers are looking for me?"
Gu Min: "It's possible."
Shen Ying: "Then tell me, whose order are they following? The Empress Dowager or Du Qianren?"
Gu Min: "The empress dowager would definitely not want to leak information about the emperor's disappearance, so she wouldn't look for someone in such a big way. The commotion here is so loud, it can only be something that Du Qianren, who is eager to know that the emperor is missing, will do it."
Shen Ying sneered and said: "I'm sure, the queen mother has never been like this, I hope that the emperor can live well. Oh, I really want to see the expression on the old witch's face now, it must be very exciting."
"Instead of thinking about these things, let's think about where we can stay tonight." Gu Min turned around, looked helplessly at Shen Ying who was still gloating, "I can't stay in the inn, and the people's homes are not safe tonight. It is very likely that you will have to spend the night outside, can you bear it?"
Shen Ying stared at Gu Min, and rebuked without panting: "Of course not! No, I said Gu Junshu, are you so capable? It's only the first day, and you have the heart to let me sleep on the street? I followed you because I believed in you, can you do it?"
Asking a man "can he do it" is in itself a great insult to a man.
Gu Min looked at Shen Ying with a half-smile, and asked, "Then dare to ask the emperor, if it weren't for me, you came out without guards and without making troubles, how would the situation be better than it is now?"
Shen Ying was almost laughed angrily by Gu Min, shit, if it weren't for you, a stubborn person, who insisted on jumping off and spoiling my good deed, I might have been lying in the gentle village by now, being served by people with good food and drink up!You still dare to be rampant with me, believe it or not, if I give an order, dozens of burly men will rush out and chop you up?
But a little intolerance can lead to big schemes, Shen Ying is too lazy to argue with Gu Min, if Gu Min can't think of a way, then he thinks for himself.
Wait, what did he seem to think of just now?Gentle country!
A brilliant idea popped up in Shen Ying's mind, and she raised her eyebrows proudly at Gu Min, "I know where to go, I can eat and sleep well, and I don't have to worry about meeting officers and soldiers!"
Gu Min didn't understand, so he asked, "Where?"
Shen Ying raised her head and went out to see that the officers and soldiers on the street outside had gone far away, she quickly pulled Gu Min along and walked out of the alley, "Follow me!"
After a cup of tea, the two of them stood in front of an attic with red lanterns hanging high on both sides of the door of a store. There were several beautifully dressed girls standing at the door of the attic to greet the guests. Chinese language and silk and bamboo wind music came out, and a huge plaque hung on the attic, with the words "Famous Flower Pavilion" written on it.
Shen Ying felt that it was absolutely impossible for another person to come up with the idea she came up with, so she couldn't help asking the person next to her triumphantly, "I'm staying here tonight, what do you think?"
Gu Min gave him a sideways glance, a sneer escaped from his throat, and turned away without saying a word.
Shen Ying hurriedly turned around to catch up, and pulled him back, "Why are you going? Isn't this place bad? Tell me, who would have thought that I would appear in a brothel? This is the safest place, okay?"
"No." Gu Min stopped in his footsteps, but his expression remained unmoved, "Don't even think about it."
Shen Ying leaned behind Gu Min, lowered her voice and warned, "What? How dare you resist the order?"
"Don't dare." Gu Min remained motionless, "You can go in by yourself."
Shen Ying thought about it, but he has no money with him!
"Then you give me the silver." Shen Ying poked Gu Min's arm with her finger.
Gu Min's tone was calm, and he said casually: "The money is mine, why did I give it to you?"
Shen Ying said angrily: "I'll ask you to borrow it, is it alright? When I get back to the palace, I will pay you back a hundred times! Is this all right?"
Gu Min turned his head and glanced at Shen Ying, then smiled shortly, "What I'm short of is money?"
Shen Ying rolled up her sleeves, pointed at Gu Min and waved her hands again and again, "Okay, you were tested by me, right? You pretended to be respectful to me in the palace. It took less than a day, and your nature was exposed, right? I I rewarded you with so many treasures before, but now I just ask you for a few taels of silver and you refuse to give it, Gu Junshu, have you really put me in your eyes?"
Gu Min didn't change his expression in the face of the accusation, and said calmly: "In the palace, you are the emperor, and I am a subject, so I naturally have to obey what you say."
"So you don't have to listen to me when you leave the palace, right?" Shen Ying sneered, and said with a snort, "I guessed that you have two faces inside and outside the palace, as expected."
"Outside the palace, now I'm the elder brother and you are the younger brother. It's your turn to listen to me." Gu Min held Shen Ying's hand, and directly pulled him away from Qing.Lou, "I said no to go, so I won't go."
Shen Ying dragged her body backwards and refused to leave, "Then tell me, where are we going to sleep tonight? What are we going to eat? You can't even go to inns and restaurants. You really want to take me to sleep on the street? No, I can't stand this kind of grievance." !"
Gu Min turned his head back, with a preaching tone: "Now is an extraordinary time, a little unbearable will lead to great chaos."
Shen Ying raised her eyebrows and said: "But why should I endure it? I'm not on the run. I came out this time not only to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, but also to make a private visit to experience the customs of the Daying Dynasty. Don't you If you think about things too complicated, you will naturally understand when the boat arrives at the bridge?"
Gu Min disagreed and asked back: "So visiting Qinglou is the way for you to experience the local customs?"
Shen Ying said eloquently, "Isn't that because there is only Qinglou now? Is it safe for the time being? Think about it, the Queen Mother and Du Qianren are looking for me, but they can't figure it out even if they want to break their heads. The emperor is actually hiding in Qinglou. Don't you think this hiding place I'm thinking of is wonderful?"
Gu Min listened to Shen Ying's words clearly and logically, not as if he just wanted to spend time and drink, he was a little shaken, "It's really just to avoid arrest, not for fun?"
Shen Ying lowered her face, and said unhappily: "Do you think I will be that kind of lustful and licentious fool?"
Gu Min did not hesitate: "No."
Shen Ying rolled her eyes, and asked tentatively: "Then you don't have it now, or have you never been?"
Gu Min thought of the past, hesitated for a moment, and at this moment, Shen Ying accurately captured Gu Min's hand, and complained excitedly: "Ha! You hesitated! Let me try it out again! It means that you thought of me that way before, right? You still don't admit that you are a double-faced person!"
Gu Min: "..."
Seeing that Gu Min was speechless, Shen Ying became more and more proud, hey, you are a traitor, you will reveal your true nature as soon as you leave the palace, see if I don't expose all your old feelings!
Gu Min realized that if Shen Ying asked this question again, something serious might happen, so he tilted his head and coughed in embarrassment, and changed the subject: "I suddenly think your idea is very good, Qing. Lou is indeed a good place for Tibetans .”
Shen Ying couldn't tell that he was guilty, but he was not in a hurry to have a showdown with Gu Min. It would be interesting to boil the frog in warm water, and said with a cold snort, "I said you would be fine if you promised earlier?"
Gu Min glanced at Yingying Yanyan, who was waiting for customers at the gate of Wanhua Pavilion, "It's fine to go in, but you have to agree on the three chapters of the agreement first. First, you are not allowed to touch the people inside, neither men nor women; second, you must behave in a low-key manner. Don't attract the attention of others; third, the two of us will share a room at night."
Shen Ying sneered and said, "Don't you think that the second and third of yours contradict each other? How can there be two big men hanging out in Qing Dynasty. They live in the same room at night? Can this attract others' attention?"
Gu Min said sullenly, "Then I won't go."
Shen Ying scolded her mother in her heart, and pushed Gu Min towards Qing.Walk in the direction of the building, "All right, all right, do as you say! You have the money and you have the final say!"
The guards of the Lin family who had been secretly protecting the emperor were hiding in the dark and saw the emperor swaggering into Qing.Behind the stairs, everyone was dumbfounded.
This little emperor is a ruthless person, he never forgot to spend his life and drink when he escaped for his life, and what's even more unbelievable is that he even took his male favorite to go shopping with him.building?
"Boss? What should we do now?" A guard asked Lin Fan what he meant.
Lin Fan has followed Lin Zhenyue for many years, and he has never encountered such a difficult task. He rubbed his forehead and said, "Let the two brothers disguise themselves and sneak in to follow the emperor. If there is any danger, immediately send a signal to warn."
The author has something to say: Gu Min: Outside the palace, I am the husband and you are my wife, so you have to listen to me.
