"Qi Wu, here are two sets of blue clothes for you, and this gray gauze cap." Qi Jiu put the things on the table in Qi Wu's room. You have to remember to change your clothes. You should always wear the veiled hat on the road, and take the new set of clothes with you. Before you meet the Emperor of the Great Zhou, even the envoys cannot take off the veiled hood to show your face. It is the rule of our Qi clan... Although it may not be used for many years, since it is a clan rule, it must be followed. You have to remember it."

Qi Wu glanced at the blue clothes and the veiled hat, and nodded: "I see, thank you."

"Don't say thank you, you have said a lot to me in the past few days." Qi Jiu pursed his lower lip, and said to Qi Wu again, "Tomorrow...after you leave, we probably won't have a chance to meet again. We have met, although we are not very familiar with you, but I still wish you a safe journey."

Qi Wu blinked and smiled: "Okay, I will."

The day before he was about to leave the land of the Qi Clan, apart from Qi Jiu coming to give him clothes as ordered by the patriarch, Qi Wu was still living as usual, and nothing else happened.

Early the next morning, Qi Wu got up to wash up, and then changed into the gray-blue wide-sleeved robe that Qi Jiu sent yesterday.The color of the robe is light, and there is nothing special about the style, but there are delicate patterns embroidered on the sleeves, placket and belt. , from the inside to the outside, was tied under a dark belt at the end, making Qi Wu's figure even thinner, with a particularly thin waist.

Although there is a mirror in the room, the surface of the mirror is not big and the developing effect is average, so Qi Wu can't see his current image clearly, but after changing his clothes, he pinched his waist and took a measurement, and then couldn't help himself. He muttered to himself: "This is too skinny, I must eat more tonic tomorrow."

After changing his clothes, Qi Wu checked his luggage again, and after confirming that all the things that should be brought were packed, he simply sat down at the table and waited for breakfast.

But before the person in charge of delivering meals today appeared, Qi Wu first heard the knock on the door, followed by the patriarch's voice outside the door.

"Qi Wu, the envoys have come to pick you up, pack up quickly and come out with your bags," the patriarch said.

Hearing this, Qi Wu was stunned.

Couldn't it be that he couldn't even eat the last breakfast!

"Okay." Depressed and depressed, Qi Wu still answered honestly, then took the bag containing the bank notes and a change of clothes, and casually took the veiled cap on his head while walking.

The gray gauze veil will cover the chin, Qi Wu tied the lace of the veil under the chin, and stretched out his hand to open the door.

Outside the house, the patriarch and several elders of the clan were there.In the middle of the road behind them, there is a group of people wearing uniform black uniforms and riding horses. The team is divided into two.

Seeing Qi Wu coming out, Liu Lu, the head of the team and the envoy in charge of this mission, glanced casually, and then urged in a cold tone: "Young Master Qi, please get in the car quickly, don't waste time."

The patriarch also whispered to Qi Wu: "Qi Jiang is already in the carriage. You have to take care of each other when you go, and everything will be fine. The dowry is on the two carriages behind. Don't worry. You haven't had time to eat it in the morning." There is something to eat in the carriage, so I need some food."

Hearing that there was food in the carriage, Qi Wu, who was depressed about not having breakfast, immediately felt better.

After bidding farewell to the patriarch and several old people, Qi Wu grabbed the burden on his shoulder and walked towards the front carriage.

The layout inside the carriage is quite good, the space is very spacious, there are fragrant sachets hanging by the windows on both sides, the three sides of the seat are soft to the touch, and there is a red sandalwood low table in the middle, on which there are cakes and fruits .

The curtain of the car was lifted, and Qi Jiang, who was already sitting inside and dressed exactly like Qi Wu, became happy.Seeing Qi Wu sitting down on the soft couch opposite, Qi Jiang quickly pointed to the short chair and said softly: "You are hungry, hurry up and eat something to fill your stomach."

Through the thin veil in front of his eyes, Qi Wu found that even though he was sitting in the carriage, Qi Jiang still wore the veiled hat and did not take it off.

He used his fingers to untie the chin strap, and at the same time the carriage shook slightly and set off.

Qi Wu took off the veil cap neatly, and Qi Jiang was taken aback: "You..."

Qi Wu put the burden aside, put the veil on the burden, and then glanced at Qi Jiang: "Are you going to wear this all the time?"

Qi Jiang hesitated and said: "...the patriarch told me not to pick it before seeing the Emperor of Zhou..."

Qi Wu accepted Qi Jiang's seriousness: "It will take three months to walk on the road, and no one else here can see what you look like. Besides, if you really follow your understanding, it's hard to wash your face and mouth. Can't you pick it up any time?"

Qi Jiang pursed her lips: "But..."

"Forget it, whatever you want." Qi Wu didn't want to continue to meddle in other people's business, so he casually interrupted Qi Jiang's words, then reached out and took a piece of shortbread and began to eat.

Qi Jiang looked at him a little helplessly, until Qi Wu had eaten the second piece, Qi Jiang hesitated and took off his veil.

Then he also took a piece of sugar cake and started to eat. After a few mouthfuls, Qi Jiang became sad again: "These are the things that the patriarch gave me to eat on the way when I got into the carriage... After leaving the clan land, I will eat it again." I can’t eat the sweets made by Uncle Jiu either.”

No matter what, the taste of these cakes is really good, so Qi Wushun comforted him: "You can eat sweeter cakes after you leave here."

Qi Jiang responded, and was silent for a while, before he spoke again: "Qi Wu...why are you so relaxed?"

Qi Wu looked up at him.

There was no response, and Qi Jiang didn't respond. He just continued to say with some embarrassment: "Although I have no blood relatives in the clan, everyone is from the Qi clan. I have always thought that I would stay in the clan land for the rest of my life. Leaving suddenly...I still go to Da Zhou's palace, I am a bit reluctant and a little scared. Will the Emperor Da Zhou be difficult to get along with?"

Speaking of this, Qi Wu became interested.

He patted the shortbread crumbs on his hands, and then asked Qi Jiang, "Have you heard anything about the emperor?"

Qi Jiang thought for a while and said: "Yesterday I asked the patriarch, but I didn't know much, and the patriarch didn't know what kind of person the Great Zhou Emperor was, but he gave so many rewards to the clan every year, so It shouldn't be a tyrant...but it's political, and I don't know how to treat the harem."

Qi Wu nodded, and then said calmly: "There are 3000 beauties in the harem, have you heard?"

Qi Jiang froze for a moment, then shook his head: "I... I haven't read any books..."

"Oh, that's nothing." Qi Wu said indifferently, "This sentence means that there have been many people in the emperor's harem since ancient times, and the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was no exception. There is now a queen, four concubines, and high-ranking concubines in his harem. There are a hundred and eighty concubines, concubines and concubines, and it is very lively."

After hearing Qi Wu finish speaking, Qi Jiang was stunned: "...Why do you need so many people? There is only one emperor of Zhou...isn't he?"

"There is only one person, so the Emperor Zhou's heart can be divided into many parts." Qi Wu said casually.

Qi Jiang pursed her lower lip: "But, why do you know about Emperor Da Zhou?"

When asked this question, Qi Wu didn't even bother to fool around: "You don't care how I know, anyway, I didn't lie to you."

"Oh." Qi Jiang didn't dare to ask any more questions, for fear of making Qi Wu unhappy.

Although it was the first time for both of them to ride a carriage, fortunately, neither of them had symptoms of motion sickness or the like.

The carriage traveled all day from morning to night, and only stopped in the field when it was time for lunch.The envoy sent the lunch directly to the carriage. After eating, Qi Wu got out of the carriage wearing a veiled hat on the pretext of convenience.

After wandering around in the carriage for a long time, Qi Wu panicked.

After Qi Wu got off the carriage, Qi Jiang quickly followed.

There was a big rock by the stream, and Qi Wu didn't bother to care about his image, so he sat on it lazily.Qi Jiang stopped beside him, was silent for a while, and then whispered: "Those envoys have been watching us, pointing..."

In the Qi clan before, Qi Jiang was always like a temperless clay figurine, even so kind that he agreed to enter the palace on his behalf after being begged.But in the final analysis, there is not so much intrigue in the Qi Clan's land, and the living environment has always been very gentle. Qi Jiang is treated with extra leniency because he is sensible and well-behaved.Now being treated by Da Zhou's envoy wearing tinted glasses, although the other party didn't say anything verbally, those gazes and secret exchanges with each other could be clearly seen through the curtain, Qi Jiang was no longer angry Also feel very uncomfortable.

Qi Wu patted him very calmly: "The status of the Qi people is low. If you can't change this situation, you can just relax and don't care. Anyway, no one cares whether you feel comfortable or not."

Hearing Qi Wu's tone of not caring at all, Qi Jiang envied him a bit: "If only I were like you and didn't care about anything."

Hearing this, Qi Wu felt strange, and looked at him: "Why do you want to be like others?"

Qi Jiang was choked, so he simply sat next to Qi Wu and continued to mutter: "I know that our clan's status is low, otherwise everyone would not be more willing to stay in the clan's land, but it's just that it's different from personal experience... ...After you got off the carriage just now, I sat inside and opened the curtain to look out. I saw those people staring at your back, pointing and talking small things, and I felt very uncomfortable... What did we Qi people do wrong? They Why do you treat us like monsters?"

Qi Wu was not too impressed with Qi Jiang's question, so he just stretched his waist and said, "Don't be naive."

After staying outside for a quarter of an hour, the two returned to the carriage.

Qi Wu was leaning on the soft pillow and getting ready to take a nap, when he suddenly remembered to ask Qi Jiang a question: "Do you know how to remove, or cover up, the mark on the back of our necks?"

"Ah?" Qi Jiang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "I don't know, and I haven't heard of such a method... There shouldn't be any, if so, Uncle Jiu and the others should have used it when they went down the mountain to buy things. After all, it should be much more convenient not to be recognized."

"That's right." Qi Wu didn't expect much at first, so he just asked casually.

After all, this kind of thing was never mentioned in the original plot of "The Tyrant's Favorite".

But Qi Jiang was interested: "Qi Wu, do you want... don't you want a mark?"

Qi Wu raised his hand and put his index finger between his lips: "Shh - I'm sleeping."

"Oh, good." Qi Jiang could only nod.

The book "The Tyrant's Favorite" did not describe in detail the nearly three-month period between their departure from the Qi clan and their arrival at Wendu, the capital city, and it was covered in one sentence.

So Qi Wu has no way to get any information from the original plot right now. He doesn't even know where they will stay overnight today, let alone what places they will pass in the next time, and whether there is anything special enough to help him implement it. escape plan.

But as long as you escape before entering the capital, there are still three months to plan.

Although the envoy Liu Lu urged them to set off early in the morning, they didn't seem to be in a hurry along the way. Qi Wu and the others didn't feel that the speed was too fast and uneasy when they were sitting in the carriage. He stopped before, not intending to rush all night.

Liu Lu got off his horse and walked to the carriage, with the same indifferent tone from this morning: "You two, Mr. Qi, have arrived at the inn where we will stay tonight."

Putting on the veil and hat, Qi Wu took his own baggage and took the lead in raising the curtain to get off the carriage.

When getting into the carriage in the morning, there are wooden benches on the ground next to it to assist in getting into the carriage. After all, the carriage is not low, and without auxiliary tools, it will be particularly ugly to get on the carriage.

But at this moment there is no wooden bench next to the carriage, raising his eyes slightly, and seeing Liu Lu standing beside the carriage with an expressionless face and the man in charge of driving the carriage with a mocking and disdainful face, Qi Wu understood... This is expressing Dissatisfied, deliberately stumbling over such a trivial matter.

That's it?

It's too insipid, and it seems tasteless.

Qi Wu jumped directly to the ground, then raised his feet and walked into the station.Qi Jiang didn't think there was anything wrong with jumping off the carriage, and followed closely behind Qi Wu.

The man in charge of driving the carriage saw this and snorted softly: "There is no manners."

Liu Lu glanced at him, although he still had a dead face, but he warned aloud: "Don't deliberately make things difficult, a three-year-old child can't do such a meaningless thing."

"I……"

Liu Lu interrupted the driver's defense: "You are not happy to drive for two Qi people, I know that. But you have to be clear, no matter how humble these two people are, they still want to enter the palace to accompany you. As long as anyone really has blue eyes and rises to the sky in one step, these trivial things you are doing right now are like thorns that people want to pull out, and will ruin your future for the rest of your life, so be careful."

The man who drove the carriage didn't care, he understood Liu Lu's indifferent yet humane temperament: "Neither man nor woman, it's just two people from the Qi clan... Just now when they jumped off the carriage, the hood fluttered a little bit. , looking at the lower half of the face, it is sure that it looks good, but the emperor has never seen the beauty of the country?"

"That's the emperor's man." Liu Lu's tone became genuinely displeased.

The man who drove the car realized that he was getting carried away too much, and quickly slapped himself: "Yes, this subordinate knows his mistake and dare not discuss it any more."

Liu Lu didn't say any more, and watched the other people drive their horses and horses into the post station.
