Datang traitor

When the arrow landed, Wen Yanbo didn't dare to touch the ground even though he raised his foot due to walking.

Changsun Wuji did not enter the courtyard alone, he was followed by ten attendants, and two servants of the Wen family who guided him.

In addition to Wen Yanbo and Qin Yuan, there were five other people in the courtyard, the housekeeper in charge of hosting the pot-throwing ceremony, the pot-throwing shooter who was in charge of directing and picking up arrows, the musician who played music with the pipa, and two serving melons and fruits at the water point. maid.Wen Yanbo was born in a scholarly family, and his bones reveal the exquisiteness of elegance, so even if he plays a game with only two people, he still plays by the rules.

But now Wen Yanbo regretted that he was so particular. The more people who witnessed the scandal at this moment, the more embarrassing Changsun Wuji's face would be, and the worse it would end.

Wen Yanbo felt suffocated and wanted to pretend to be dizzy.

Although the head and tail of the arrows used for throwing pots are blunted, it is impossible to really hurt Changsun Wuji's fatal spot, but his arrows are made of very thick materials for durability and beauty, three times heavier than ordinary arrows, and more big.According to Qin Yuan's strength just now, hitting Changsun Wuji's place will definitely not be like scratching an itch, it will definitely be painful.

Wen Yanbo didn't dare to look at Changsun Wuji's expression at all. He lowered his head and looked at the ground, and hurriedly and slowly put his raised foot back on the ground carefully.

After throwing the arrow out just now, Qin Yuan sighed that his hand slipped, and he was still in the fun of the game, he happily turned his head to look for the arrow.

As a result, Qin Yuan's happy smiling face met Changsun Wuji's furious Qing face.

Qin Yuan was stunned for a moment, looked at the arrow in front of Changsun Wuji's feet, blinked his eyelids twice, raised his eyes to look back at Changsun Wuji again.After looking at Changsun Wuji's angry eagle eyes, Qin Yuan lowered his eyes again and suppressed the smile on his face.

Qin Yuan raised his hand unhurriedly, and saluted Changsun Wuji politely.He is extremely gentle and quiet, completely without the crazy, insane and crazy look he showed just now.

Qin Yuan acted like a normal person, after making a bow, he straightened himself up on his own initiative.

Changsun Wuji's face turned green with anger at Qin Yuan's performance.

"Bold!" Xu An has never seen an official with such an arrogant attitude in front of his lord, "You should kneel down and make amends! How dare you hurt my lord with an arrow—"

Qin Yuan raised his head slightly, and looked at Changsun Wuji and Xu An with confused eyes. "Could it be that the arrow thrown by the lower official just now hurt the eldest grandson? Where did it hurt?"

Xu An opened his mouth to speak, but was stared back by Changsun Wuji with a stern look.Xu An choked his words in embarrassment, and then turned the embarrassment into anger, and spread it on Qin Yuan, scolding him to kneel down and be punished, not to talk too much.

"Why didn't you report it?" Qin Yuan murmured in a low voice.

The surroundings are quieter, even the sound of the wind blowing the leaves is noisy.

Xu An asked what Qin Yuan meant by what he said just now: "Could it be that you hurt the dignified Duke of Qi without notification?"

"It's my fault for my incompetence. I was too focused on throwing pots in the courtyard. I didn't expect the grandson's arrival in time. This official was negligent, and this official is guilty!" Qin Yuan promised again and again, and once again saluted eldest grandson Wuji,

Wen Yanbo was silently speechless by the side, sighing that Qin Yuan really dared to speak.What he said was not an apology, but he was clearly blaming Changsun Wuji for not notifying him first and then being unreasonable later.But to be honest, Wen Yanbo is on Qin Yuan's side in this matter, and those who don't know are innocent.

"The lower official thinks that the most important thing now is to see how the injury is. If the arrow shot by the lower official really hurt the grandson's important place, the lower official is willing to take responsibility." Qin Yuan added 'reasonably'.

Qin Yuan's meaning is obvious.If it does hurt, he will take responsibility.If not, Changsun Wuji should be responsible for not notifying in advance, and leave him alone.

Changsun Wuji narrowed his eyes and looked at Qin Yuan sternly.He didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, but the murderous aura exuding from his body was enough to shock the people around him.In this situation, no one dared to make a fuss in front of him, but this Qin Yuan was an exception, and he was quite good at eloquent arguments.

Qin Yuan saw that the elder Sun Wuji did not speak, nor did his follower Xu An.Qin Yuan looked at Wen Yanbo.Wen Yanbo immediately rejected Qin Yuan with an expression of 'don't pull me'.

"Wen Zhizhong, may I trouble you to invite a doctor?" Qin Yuan asked politely, then glanced at Xu An, "Why don't I go and ask for it myself."

Qin Yuan said he was about to go.

"I'll send someone to invite you right away." Wen Yanbo quickly agreed, turning his head and giving the butler a wink.The housekeeper and the others had been frightened out of their wits for a long time, but now they came back to their senses and hurried to go.

"No need! It's just an arrow!"

Changsun Wuji shot Qin Yuan's eyes as if quenched with poison, and immediately led him away with a flick of his sleeve.When a group of people left, they were aggressive and brought a gust of cold wind, which made the remaining people panic.

Wen Yanbo hurriedly took the housekeeper and others to see off his eldest grandson Wuji.Qin Yuan followed indifferently, doing his due courtesy.

Wen Yanbo took advantage of the time when Changsun Wuji got into the carriage, and apologized repeatedly with a smile, but he didn't get a response from Changsun Wuji.After Changsun Wuji got into the carriage, he left without a trace.

Wen Yanbo looked around with a smile on his lips until the carriage disappeared at the intersection.He immediately turned his head and stared at Qin Yuan.

"You are so bold." Wen Yanbo dragged Qin Yuan back to the mansion, leaving Qin Yuan alone to talk in the room, "Do you know that what you said just now will completely offend Eldest Grandpa."

"Don't scare me." Qin Yuan brought the porcelain cup to his mouth, pouted and took a sip of water.

"Why are you bluffing, the arrow you just shot at grandson—" Wen Yanbo covered his mouth with his hands, and coughed vaguely, "We are all men, and we all know how precious that thing is."

"It's a baby." Qin Yuan agreed.

"Then you still talk to him like that? Hard?" Wen Yanbo asked in bewilderment, feeling that Qin Yuan really made the wrong choice.

Qin Yuan didn't take it seriously, "If I didn't say that, I knelt on the ground tremblingly and apologized to him, and told him that it was not his responsibility, it was all my fault, do you think I can still sit in front of you so calmly now? "

Wen Yanbo was stunned by Qin Yuanwen, he turned his eyes to think carefully, then shook his head sincerely to say no.Changsun Wuji had always looked down on Qin Yuan, and this time Qin Yuan embarrassed him in public, and Changsun Wuji would definitely take this opportunity to punish Qin Yuan severely.

Wen Yanbo suddenly realized that what Qin Yuan said and did just now was not impulsive or confused at all.He knew very well in his heart that he deliberately dealt with Changsun Wuji like that.

It's like pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

Wen Yanbo bowed his hands to Qin Yuan in admiration, sighing that his trick is currently effective, "But it's no different from drinking poison to quench thirst. The current troubles are solved. After that, the three of us will set off for Jingzhou together tomorrow. What do you think?" You can't hide from him."

"Take one step at a time." Qin Yuan told Wen Yanbo not to worry too much, there will always be a solution when soldiers come to block him, and water comes to cover him.

"You, I admire you more and more." Wen Yanbo envied Qin Yuan's free, easy and fearless character, and he promised Qin Yuan, "I will do my best to protect you in the future."

Qin Yuan thanked him, and after drinking the water in his cup, he still wanted to continue playing the game of throwing pots.

Wen Yanbo got scared when he heard the word 'touhu', and waved his hands to express that he would not play.He let Qin Yuan play around by himself, while he ran to the fish tank to observe his little tadpole, and apologized to the little tadpole in the tone of chatting with a friend.He's going on a long trip tomorrow, so he won't be able to witness the important moment when they grow their front legs and so on.

When Qin Yuan came out of the house, he found that it was getting late, and he couldn't see clearly when he was playing pitching outside.It was just about time for dinner, Qin Yuan was afraid that Wen Yanbo would ask him to have dinner with him, and he would not be able to eat human food, so he had to politely refuse Wen Yanbo.Qin Yuan simply used the excuse that he had something left at home and wanted to go back to get it.As for dinner, he can settle it outside by himself, so he won't eat it with Wen Yanbo.

After Qin Yuan rode his horse out of Wen's residence, he wandered around the street doing nothing, and suddenly remembered that there were still bait in the rat trap at home.This time I went to Jingzhou, I don’t know how long it will take to come back. It would be disgusting to let the mice in the mousetrap starve to death and stink.

Qin Yuan then thought of Gu Qingqing, who had locked herself at home for the past two days and was taken care of by Aunt Wang next door.Ever since Qin Yuan explained that Gu Qingqing's father was the murderer, he never spoke to Gu Qingqing again.By the way, let's see how Gu Qingqing is doing, and say goodbye to her.

In the end, I made an excuse to go home, and finally it became a real home.

Qin Yuan went to the West Market to buy some snacks.When he arrived at Gu Qingqing's house, he knocked on the door first, but no one responded, and the door was not locked.

After Qin Yuan knocked on the door and there was no response, he turned around to see if the person was with Mrs. Wang next door, but the door behind him suddenly opened.

Gu Qingqing messed up her hair, looked at Qin Yuan with tired and red eyes, and asked him what's the matter.

"Are you okay?" Qin Yuan asked.

Gu Qingqing smoothed the messy hair on her head with her hands, and turned to invite Qin Yuan into the room.

Qin Yuan glanced at the environment in the room, it was a bit messy, there were leftover rotten food on the table, and a few flies buzzed and danced on it.

"Aunt Wang sent it." Gu Qingqing cleared the dishes on the table, "I can't stand me after only three meals."

Qin Yuan put the snacks on the table, and put the money bag on the table, "Take care of yourself, I'm going away tomorrow, and I won't be back for a while."

Gu Qingqing glanced at the money on the table, and asked Qin Yuan to take it away, but she didn't want it.

"Although I love money, I will never ask for money that kills my father and enemy!"

Qin Yuan looked at her in surprise: "You are a bit too unreasonable."

"So what if I'm unreasonable? When have I ever been reasonable? I don't even know if my father is my real father. I'm a mother-born thing, so what's the use of being reasonable!" Gu Qingqing shouted.

Qin Yuan silently looked at Gu Qingqing.

"Why don't you talk, do you think I'm too savage and aggressive, and deserve to end up like this? Aunt Wang despises me, and you despise me too!" Gu Qingqing gritted her teeth in hatred, she turned her head away, and tears fell down. .

"You just said that I was your father-killing enemy and refused my money. Now why do you say that I dislike you?" Qin Yuan understands Gu Qingqing's rebellion. He used to play similar tricks when he was the second generation of immortals. Emotions, "You don't have to deliberately pretend to be a person that everyone hates. You don't cause us trouble, and when others help you, they will feel happy and satisfied in their hearts. People's life is so long, don't torture yourself, don't Wasting time. One day when you look back on the past, when you ask yourself, you have to have a clear conscience and no regrets."

Qin Yuan put the money back on the table, "If you really don't want it, then give it to beggars."

After Qin Yuan finished speaking, he turned and left.

Gu Qingqing was crying unnaturally, she chased Qin Yuan out and stopped, she sniffed pitifully and grinned at Qin Yuan: "I'm sorry."

"You have ideas. You can take care of this family with your own ability. Mrs. Wang is a nice person. If you have time to help her light the fire, be good. She doesn't have a daughter, so she will treat you as half a daughter." Qin Yuan instructed.

Gu Qingqing nodded with a "hmm", chased Qin Yuan out, and told him to be careful when going out.

"I'm at home waiting for your return."

Qin Yuan suddenly remembered something, turned his head and asked Gu Qingqing: "You don't blame me for killing your father?"

"He has done so many vicious things. He tried to kill Brother Qin several times. He is not my father. He just uses me and raises me. He just wants him to look like a normal person in this workshop." Gu Qingqing has thought it through for a long time, but she understands the truth, but the stimulation in her heart is not so easy to calm down, so that she has thoughts of world-weariness.

"The fact that you are your father's adopted daughter is something I let people publicize. This is a fact, even if you don't remember it yourself. This is for you to be a good man among the neighbors in the future, and those people will not avoid it because your father is a murderer You, pointing at you. Also, Gu Changhuang is really bad, so you don’t have to be a filial piety for him.” Qin Yuan explained.

Her eyes were red, and she wept again, but this time tears of gratitude.Gu Qingqing is very glad that she has known Qin Yuan, she did not expect him to be so considerate for herself.And his three or two sentences of persuasion just now made her suddenly realize.

Gu Qingqing felt that she was sorry for Qin Yuan even more, and she didn't know how to thank him.She looked at Qin Yuan, whose appearance and demeanor were almost flawless, and was in a daze, "Could you be the god sent by the sky to save me?"

Qin Yuan was taken aback for a moment, thinking that his identity had been discovered by Gu Qingqing.Seeing that her expression remained unchanged, she realized that the girl was complimenting her.

Qin Yuan suddenly made a face at her.

Open the lower eyelids with two fingers, revealing the big whites of the eyes, grinning, sticking out the red tongue.

Gu Qingqing was taken aback, and was immediately amused by Qin Yuan.

After Qin Yuan returned home, he found that there was indeed a mouse in the mousetrap.Qin Yuan showed mercy and took the mouse out of the yard and released it.

When it was dark, the bell rang, and a curfew began to be enforced in Chang'an City.

Because Qin Yuan has a token, he doesn't have to guard it.He rode a horse, walking unsteadily on the empty streets of Chang'an City.But as he walked, he felt as if something was following him behind him.

Qin Yuan picked up the lantern and looked behind him, the night was vast, he saw nothing but darkness,

Qin Yuan turned around and continued to move forward. After walking for a while, Qin Yuan still felt that there was something following behind him.

He picked up the lantern and looked back, still the same as before, seeing nothing.

Qin Yuan turned his head and continued walking again. This time, he pricked up his ears vigilantly, listening to the movement behind while distinguishing the sound of horseshoes.A very small sound, almost covered by the sound of horseshoes.

In order to further determine what was behind him, Qin Yuan deliberately walked for a longer time.When he was sure that the tiny rustling sound was getting closer and closer to him, Qin Yuan immediately stopped the carriage, quickly jumped on the horse, and chased after him with a lantern.He wanted to see what was following him.

Qin Yuan saw a slender gray thing, about the thickness of chopsticks, slipping into a crack in the wall two fingers wide on the side of the street.

Qin Yuan picked up a lantern and leaned closer to the crack of the wall to have a closer look. He picked up a nearby wooden stick and poked it inside, but found nothing.Qin Yuan squatted in front of the crack of the wall for a while, suddenly felt that he was bored like this, got up, patted his robe, and galloped back to Wen's residence.

Wen Yanbo waited for Qin Yuan for a long time, when he came back, he blamed him for not staying to have dinner with him.After that, the two chatted for a while, and because they had to get up early tomorrow morning, they both went to bed early.

Qin Yuan didn't know how long he slept, and he heard a faint rustling sound. He immediately opened his eyes, picked up a candle that was left on in the room, and looked around.

Qin Yuan didn't see anything unusual for the time being, except for the east window with a crack open.Qin Yuan clearly remembered that all the doors and windows in the house were closed before he went to sleep.

Qin Yuan closed the east window again and bolted it.Remembering that he happened to have a bell available, Qin Yuan followed his old habit and hung bells on the doors and windows.Afterwards, he slept until dawn and didn't notice anything unusual.

After Qin Yuan got up and folded the quilt, he checked the harvest of today's farm, which was sweet pears.Speaking of which, since the last time he presented melons to Li Shimin, the harvest has been quite stable these days, which made him addicted to it.

Qin Yuan dressed neatly after eating, and went to find Wen Yanbo with his light luggage.

Wen Yanbo was about to ask someone to invite Qin Yuan over for breakfast, "It's just right here, sit down quickly, we'll meet up at Changsun Gong's mansion after we finish eating."

Qin Yuan shook his head, indicating that he was not hungry.

"Tell me honestly, what delicious food did you eat last night, and how much did you eat, so that you are not hungry right now?" Wen Yanbo asked.

Qin Yuan smiled and shook his head, "I don't have the habit of eating breakfast."

"That's not good. If you go on a long journey, if you don't eat in the morning, you will be exhausted if you don't ride a horse for ten miles." Wen Yanbo persuaded Qin Yuan again and found it useless, so he left him alone.He deliberately let Qin Yuan watch from the side, Wen Yanbo thought that when the hot breakfast was served, Qin Yuan would definitely change his mind to eat it when he saw that he was eating well.

Not long after, the maid brought a bowl of noodle soup on a wooden tray. The bowl was filled with noodles the size of a thumb. The soup was yellowish and had a faint ginger flavor. There was a little chopped dogwood in the center of the soup bowl.This is 'Butuo', the most popular noodle soup in the Tang Dynasty.

Then there were four plates of cold and pickled vegetables, all of which were green, and Qin Yuan didn't bother to identify what they were.

In addition to drinking the soup, Wen Yanbo ate 'pancakes', which were big meatballs stuffed with chicken, wrapped on top, and deep-fried in a pan.This kind of fried big balls was commonly known as pancakes in the Tang Dynasty.There is also a wooden plate containing four Hubing cakes covered with sesame seeds, freshly baked and smelling very fragrant.

When Wen Yanbo was eating, he maintained a gentle and refined posture of a literati. After eating his breakfast bite by bite, he cleaned his hands and rinsed his mouth, and then looked at Qin Yuan.He found that Qin Yuan was really not greedy for what he ate at all, at this moment he was resting his chin with his hands, staring blankly at the pot of orchids on his window sill.

"Let's go."

Not long after the two arrived at Changsun's Mansion, Changsun Wuji's carriage drove out.The two sides did not say hello, and after they met, the carriages drove out from the Golden Light Gate one after the other.

A group of people hurried on the road until noon, and rested in the wilderness by the roadside.Only then did Changsun Wuji get out of the carriage and meet Qin Yuan and Wen Yanbo face to face.

Changsun Wuji was wearing a blue diamond-patterned round-neck uniform, a wrought copper waistband, and black boots. He was dressed in a relatively ordinary and low-key manner.The carriage he was riding in today was also relatively simple and half-old. Qin Yuan noticed that dried vegetable leaves were still stuck to the wheels of the carriage. It looked like the carriage that Changsun Mansion usually used to transport vegetables, but it was temporarily converted into Changsun Wuji's carriage. .

Qin Yuan felt that Changsun Wuji's effort in dressing up like this was a bit of a waste. Although everyone could see that he wanted to keep a low profile, he himself couldn't keep a low profile at all. The lines are all sharp, a pair of eagle eyes that are always showing hostility, broad shoulders and strong, dignified appearance, where the eyebrows are horizontal, the momentum is comparable to a thousand troops.

Originally, this kind of temperament is definitely not something that ordinary people can have. In addition, Changsun Wuji also has a noble spirit and likes to look at people with lowered eyelids. It is even more impossible for anyone to dare to treat Changsun Wuji as an ordinary person.

As soon as Changsun Wuji got out of the carriage, he felt a bunch of unkind eyes shoot over him, and he immediately threw a knife at Qin Yuan with his eyes.Even if he didn't settle accounts with this fellow first, this fellow dared to provoke him.

Wen Yanbo felt the eye contact between Changsun Wuji and Qin Yuan, he laughed apologetically, trying to reconcile the atmosphere, but found that neither of them noticed him.

Wen Yanbo took out the map and asked Changsun Wuji to determine the route.

From Chang'an City to Jingzhou, it takes about three or four days to arrive by horse-drawn carriage.If you travel day and night, at least half the time will be saved.Wen Yanbo didn't know what method Changsun Wuji planned to use to investigate King Yan, so he asked Changsun Wuji to determine the route and speed of the journey.

Changsun Wuji glanced at the map, looked at Wen Yanbo, and asked him what he thought.

"Naturally, the sooner the better, the sooner we can check the matter clearly, if there is any abnormality, we can make preparations earlier." Wen Yanbo expressed his opinion.

Qin Yuan immediately nodded and followed suit.He was worried about the safety of Li Shimin in Chang'an City, so of course he must try his best to advocate a faster method!

After hearing Wen Yanbo's words, Changsun Wuji didn't react at all.When Qin Yuan agreed, Changsun Wuji glanced at Qin Yuan sideways.

"Go slowly." Changsun Wuji decided, and then drew a detour route on the map with his hands, and decided to follow this route.

Qin Yuan looked at the map, and then looked back at Changsun Wuji puzzled.He wanted to ask why, but he felt that even if he opened his mouth to ask why, Changsun Wuji would not answer him, so why bother to ask.

Qin Yuan looked at Wen Yanbo begging for help.

Wen Yanbo put away the map without saying a word, expressing that he would obey Changsun Wuji's arrangements.

At this time, Changsun Wuji ordered his subordinates to prepare lunch.

Qin Yuan leaned in front of Wen Yanbo, "Don't tell me you don't wonder why he took the long way around."

"Elder Grandson has his own arrangements in mind, so why do we need to ask more questions." Wen Yanbo warned Qin Yuan not to ask more questions, so as not to cause further trouble, "At present, it seems that he doesn't intend to embarrass you, it's not bad, you can be lucky. "

"Oh." Qin Yuan promised to continue talking to Wen Yanbo, but at this time Xu An, the attendant of Changsun Wuji, came over and respectfully invited Wen Yanbo to come over.

Wen Yanbo then sat under the tree with Changsun Wuji and talked about something. After a while, the two talked to each other, and there was laughter. It seemed that the chat was very lively.

Qin Yuan just leaned against the carriage and had nothing to do.

After a while, Xu An took people out of the car with dry food and water, first presented the best food to Wen Yanbo and Changsun Wuji, and then called the other entourage to have lunch together.

Of course Qin Yuan was not among them.

Qin Yuan was an official, so if he went to Wen Yanbo and Changsun Wuji for dinner at this time, it would obviously be unpopular.If he took the initiative to go to join Xu An and other servants, those entourage would definitely think that he was belittling his status and treat him as a joke.

Changsun Wuji's move is really wonderful.

It's a pity that it's useless to him, and he doesn't care about eating those human foods, and they are still dry things.

Qin Yuan turned around and got into the carriage, and began to enjoy the sweet pears from his farm.The pears are sweet and crisp, and the rich pear juice will hang in the corner of his mouth after a bite.

After eating his stomach full, Qin Yuan half-lyed on the carriage, patted his stomach and hiccupped, and then heard someone outside the carriage saying that he was ready to leave.

Wen Yanbo poked his head in from outside the carriage, worried that Qin Yuan was hungry, so he hurriedly took out the two pieces of snacks that he had secretly hidden just now from his sleeve, and apologized for making Qin Yuan suffer, so he had to make do with it.

"Are you hungry? You must listen to me and eat breakfast in the morning." Wen Yanbo sighed, "I take back what I said before. He is not only trying to make things difficult for you, but I think he also means playing with you to death."

It's not easy for Qin Yuan to refuse Wen Yanbo's kindness and effort to hide the snack, and after taking it to thank him, he told Wen Yanbo not to worry about him. "My body is naturally good, and I can still be energetic without eating for three days."

"What time is it, and you're still bragging." Wen Yanbo moved his eyeballs, and immediately tested Qin Yuan, "Why don't you give in and lose face once, and go and apologize to the eldest grandson. Life is the most important thing, the integrity of those It doesn't matter what it is right now."

"I want to be upright." Qin Yuan had a rare 'noble' once.

"You——" As a literati, Wen Yanbo of course understands the importance of choosing to protect one's integrity, but he really didn't expect Qin Yuan to be so persistent. Usually, Qin Yuan is quite flexible, "Okay, take care. "

Wen Yanbo told Qin Yuan that Sun Wuji invited him to ride with him, but he couldn't refuse.

After Wen Yanbo finished speaking, he showed a guilty expression of 'I'm sorry I betrayed you' to Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan was very happy when he thought that he could enjoy the entire carriage by himself, sitting, lying down or stretching his legs in any position.

Qin Yuan waved his hand and mercilessly sent Wen Yanbo away.

Wen Yanbo interpreted Qin Yuan's behavior as "understanding" and "not wanting to embarrass him", so he felt even more ashamed of Qin Yuan in his heart.He will definitely find an opportunity in the future to make up for Qin Yuan.

In the evening, because the road chosen by Changsun Wuji was remote or intentional, everyone rested on the side of the country road.

Xu An still accidentally 'missed' Qin Yuan while eating.

Outside the carriage, the attendants were each holding a piece of Hubing that had been stored for a day, and the moisture in the biscuit was gone, so it was dry and choking.One mouthful of cake must be swallowed with a mouthful of water.Although Changsun Wuji and Wen Yanbo ate slightly better, the dim sum was also a bit dry. Besides, if you eat too much of this food, it can't be as delicious as a bowl of hot Butuo.

At the same time, Qin Yuan was lying leisurely in the carriage, gnawing on juicy pears with his legs crossed.That crisp, that cool, that quiet and at ease, Qin Yuan even happily hummed a little tune.

The evening wind picked up, amidst the rustling of leaves blown by the wind, Changsun Wuji vaguely heard a man's 'crying' coming from the carriage.Changsun Wuji was startled for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

I really didn't expect that Qin Yuan looked like a sharp-toothed and hard-headed man, but he didn't have much backbone, so he just hid in the car and cried after being hungry for two meals?

No prospects!

However, Changsun Wuji was happy to see Qin Yuan's hopeless appearance.

Changsun Wuji immediately winked at Xu An.

Just now Xu An also heard a faint murmur coming from Qin Yuan's carriage, and his thoughts were the same as his own husband's, thinking that Qin Yuan must be so hungry that he was aggrieved and crying.

After Xu An returned a glance to Changsun Wuji excitedly, he went straight to Qin Yuan's carriage excitedly.He deliberately opened the curtain and asked loudly, "Master Qin, what's the matter with you? I just wanted to hear that there was—"

After Xu An saw the scene in the car, he swallowed the second half of what he was about to say.

Xu An couldn't believe what he saw.Qin Yuan was lying comfortably on the cushion of the carriage, his legs crossed, his feet shaking, humming a little tune happily.

"Huh?" Qin Yuan found Xu An who was looking at him, sat up lazily, and asked Xu An what's the matter.

Xu An blushed in embarrassment, apologized and said he was fine, and then with an expression as if he had seen a ghost, he hurried to report to Zhangsun Wuji, "I'm singing."

Changsun Wuji's smiling face suddenly turned cold.

Changsun Wuji looked at Xu An, as if he suspected that his ears had misheard just now.

Xu An leaned close to Changsun Wuji's ear and whispered: "I saw with my own eyes that I was lying comfortably on the car with no shoes on, humming and shaking my legs."

Changsun Wuji frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he stretched out his hand to signal Xu An to back down.

"Hurry up." Changsun Wuji said to Wen Yanbo.

The group arrived at a place called Jiesang Village in the middle of the night.After making money and negotiating with the villagers, we dispersed and lived in the villagers' homes in three places.

Xu An lives in the same family as Wen Yanbo and Qin Yuan.

When it was just dawn the next day, Xu An tiptoed down from Qin Yuan's carriage.

After a group of people had breakfast at the villager's house, they continued on their way.

Xu An specially emphasized to Changsun Wuji: "I have checked the carriage thoroughly this morning, and I have guaranteed that it is clean, and there is absolutely no food in it! I guessed that he had eaten up the dry food on the carriage yesterday. Today I saw it with my own eyes. He will never get anything to eat with his empty carriage."

Changsun Wuji blinked his eyelids and sent Xu An back.

At noon and evening, everyone stayed in the field again and continued to eat dry food.

Changsun Wuji began to pay more and more attention to the carriage Qin Yuan was riding in. He was still very calm all day today, and he didn't seem to be hungry at all.

Everyone decided to continue on their way tonight, but on the way, suddenly dark clouds covered the moon, a strong wind blew up, and it rained heavily.

Everyone huddled in the carriage to shelter from the rain.When the rain stopped, it was daylight.

"The dry food was confiscated last night, and it was soaked by the rain."

"It doesn't hinder anything, just make do with it." Xu An didn't take it seriously. They fought with the eldest grandson Wuji back then, and they suffered more than these.

It was rare for the attendant to follow Xu An and continued to report: "The snacks eaten by the envoys have also been spoiled."

Xu An's face changed, and he immediately checked the map to see if there were any nearby counties that could supply dry food in time.But because of the detour, the place is too remote, and the road is muddy and difficult to drive after it rains, and the fastest time to drive to the nearest county town is at night.

In this case, breakfast and lunch this morning will not be found.We can't let such dignified figures as Changsun Gong and Wen Zhizhong eat these pancakes that are as rotten as shit.

No matter how helpless Xu An was, he had no choice but to report the current situation to Changsun Wuji.

After Changsun Wuji heard the words, he scolded Xu An for being too rash.How many times has he done this kind of thing without even considering the weather.

Xu An is willing to plead guilty, but now he is anxious about how to get food for his eldest grandson and Wen Zhizhong.

"Hehe, can this stuff still be eaten? It looks like shit?" Qin Yuan didn't know when he got out of the carriage, and was looking at the cloth bag that contained the mustache.

The guards around said impassionedly that it was fine and they could still eat.

"This stuff that has been soaked in rainwater overnight, if you eat it in your stomach, if you collectively have a stomachache, it will turn into soft-legged shrimp and delay your journey, who will be responsible?" Qin Yuan added, "We didn't know why. Long way."

The guards all fell silent.

Changsun Wuji was silent for a while, finally couldn't bear Qin Yuan's arrogance, and asked him, "What do you mean?"

"Just the meaning of the words." Qin Yuan spread his hands and said to Changsun Wuji, "I care about everyone's health, and I am afraid of delaying the progress of the investigation, and I am even more afraid that the saints in Chang'an City will be anxious."

Changsun Wuji saw that Qin Yuan looked like a villain, and immediately ordered his subordinates to search for wild vegetables, mushrooms, pheasants and other game in the mountains to satisfy their hunger.

"I want to go together, that's what I mean too, and I'll look for it with everyone." After Qin Yuan finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and took everyone up the mountain together.

When the entourage saw that Qin Yuan was an official, he not only sympathized with their food problem, but also condescended to go up the mountain with everyone to find food, and immediately felt admiration and love for Qin Yuan.

After that, everyone found that the surrounding mountains are too barren, there is nothing on the mountain, even the wild vegetables grow to the size of a fingernail and stick to the ground, and many of the bark are gone, let alone any wild animals .

After the followers went down the mountain with a small handful of wild vegetables, they found that Qin Yuan was not among them. They were worried that others would lose them, when they heard someone calling them.

The entourage hurriedly ran up the mountain and found that Qin Yuan was carrying wild fruits in his clothes. Because there were too many wild fruits, many fruits rolled on the ground and became sticky with mud.

The guards rushed to pick it up, and happily lamented that they had wild fruits to eat.

After the fruit was cleaned, everyone recognized that the wild fruit was a red plum.

Xu An first gave the washed fruits to Changsun Wuji, Wen Yanbo and Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan happily took one and stuffed it into his mouth to eat.

Wen Yanbo held the plum and looked at it. The skin was a little rough, but the color looked very good. "It's really not easy to find this kind of fruit in the wild. After all, everyone was exposed to the cold last night. To be honest, I'm really afraid of those pickled fruits." If they eat the overcooked pancakes, they will have a stomachache. This kind of weather is the easiest way to catch a cold in the spleen and stomach.”

After Wen Yanbo finished speaking, he took a bite of the plum, which was sweet and refreshing without any sourness.

Wen Yanbo sighed that it was sweet and delicious, and asked his eldest grandson Wuji to taste it.

Changsun Wuji looked at the fruit Xu An handed over with complicated eyes, then got up and left, looking around the surrounding mountains and fields by himself.

Qin Yuan had already eaten his fill while looking for wild fruits. He stopped eating after symbolically eating two plums, and looked at Changsun Wuji with his chin resting on his chin.

Wen Yanbo saw through Qin Yuan's intentions at a glance, and shook his head while chewing what was in his mouth, "I have convinced you two."

"It's none of my business here, he's repelling me." Qin Yuan corrected.

Wen Yanbo nodded again and again. Now that he is short-mouthed by Qin Yuan, he is of course on the same side as Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan saw that the elder Sun Wuji was staring at the mountains in a daze, then turned his head and continued to talk to Wen Yanbo: "Did you realize that these mountains are desolate, there is really no food at all, they are so poor that even the bark has fallen off."

Wen Yanbo looked around and nodded to Qin Yuan.

After resting for a while, everyone started to continue their journey under Changsun Wuji's suggestion.

Changsun Wuji sat in the carriage with his eyes closed and rested, when he suddenly smelled a fresh fruity fragrance.

Xu An smiled and handed the plums he left to Changsun Wuji, asking him to use some.

Changsun Wuji picked up a plum, but instead of eating it, he brought it to his nose and smelled it.

"Lang Jun, what's the matter?" Xu An asked puzzled.

After Changsun Wuji looked around at the plum again, he squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then put the plum into his mouth and took a bite.

The same fresh, sweet and rich taste is similar to the taste of the melon that was given last time.Not similar in taste, but similar in quality...

Not long after the carriage got on the official road, Changsun Wuji suddenly stopped the carriage.

After Changsun Wuji got out of the car, he squatted on the side of the road to check the marks on the ground, and then led two guards up the mountain with knives, bows and arrows.

Half an hour later, everyone saw Changsun Wuji come back
