But she knew clearly that she couldn't.
Whether it’s her unique way of changing faces or the fact that the prince’s daughter is here, it’s enough to arouse suspicion.
She suppressed the impulse in her heart, gave up the idea of exposing her identity, and laughed slowly.
"That's a coincidence. I'm going to Suicheng too. Can I go with the young master?"
Suicheng is an important border area, only three cities away from Dingbeiguan. , if you want to go to Dingbeiguan, you must pass through Suicheng.
Therefore, Su Qianxue is not lying.
"Sorry, no."
Unexpectedly, she was rejected.
The cold and handsome man looked down at her with a hint of apology in his voice.
"Marriageable men and women should avoid suspicion. Going together may tarnish the girl's reputation. Furthermore, I don't want to be misunderstood by my sweetheart. I hope the girl will understand."
With the previous series of foreshadowings, when she heard him talking about his sweetheart, Su Qianxue naturally mistakenly thought he was talking about her.
Uh...
The engagement has been canceled for so long, and he still refuses to get close to other women in order to prevent her from misunderstanding?
The feeling of being favored was so good that Su Qianxue couldn't resist it. Therefore, she was clearly rejected, but she was not angry at all. Instead, bursts of joy emerged in her heart.
"It doesn't matter, I didn't expect that the young master would be such a affectionate and loyal person who respects the honor and integrity of others."
Su Qianxue praised her from the bottom of her heart and regarded this as Yun Wanchen's merits.
As for being rejected, it doesn’t matter.
If you can't go together, then you can't. In the worst case, she can follow him not far away.
In short, no matter what, she is determined to follow him and will never let him get rid of her.
First of all, she still has a mission. Although she does not want to hurt him, she is now a tool of the system, with no human rights, no right to resist or refuse.
As long as she finds the opportunity, she will still have to do the task.
Secondly, traveling alone is lonely, boring, and full of dangers. How can it be better than being with others?
The decision was made, so when the master and servant Yun Wanchen set off on their way, Su Qianxue followed them immediately.
The road was slippery in the snow and it was unsafe to ride a horse. The three of them led the horses and walked.
"Your Majesty, that girl is following behind."
Cang Yan glanced back, winked at Su Qianxue, then leaned next to Yun Wanchen and whispered something.
“Well, don’t pay attention.”
Yun Wanchen replied lightly.
How could he not notice Su Qianxue's movements?
It’s just that he didn’t build this road. How could he still stop people from leaving?
How domineering and unreasonable does he have to be to do something like this?
What's more, even if you stop her and tell her not to leave, with the system in place, she will always have a way to follow. Instead of letting her move secretly, it's better to keep it under your nose.
As for the previous refusal to go with him, it was just to express his attitude. It does not mean that he will definitely refuse.
One day passed, and before nightfall, Yun Wanchen and Cang Yan arrived at a town called Linxi.
The town is not big, with only about two hundred households in total, and it is full of strong northern flavor.
It was snowing, and there were few pedestrians on the streets. There were only a few sellers, carrying loaders full of groceries, and shouting loudly in the streets.
The cold wind blew in, carrying an intoxicating aroma of wine, which brought out all the greedy insects in Cang Yan's stomach.
He led the horse and looked eagerly toward the southeast.
The Duke of Guo had guarded Dingbeiguan for many years, so they had been to this town many times. There was a tavern in the southeast of the town.
I don’t know how the wine at that place was made. It was mellow and rich, strong and full of flavor. It tasted particularly enjoyable. He had been thinking about it for a long time.
Now that you are here, how can you miss it?
He swallowed, looked at Yun Wanchen in front of him, and spoke in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, it's freezing and snowy. We've been traveling all day and are cold and tired. How about going over there to eat some hot food to ward off the cold?"
"Well, let's go."< br>
Yun Wanchen has no objection to this.
Who wants to eat dry food when they can have hot meals?
The two walked towards the tavern, with Su Qianxue following not far behind.
Sifang Tavern.
The store door is wide open, and there is a red-hot iron stove in the middle, exuding scorching heat, making the store warm and very comfortable.
On the brown tables and chairs next to the stove, several big men of different shapes and simple clothes were sitting, having very selfless boxing fun.
Even if someone comes in, he doesn't even notice.
On the other side of the group of big men, there was another man drinking quietly alone.
The man was wearing a black-gold robe with his back to the door. He instantly attracted all of Yun Wanchen's attention.
He paused, then raised his legs and walked towards the man.
Cang Yan, who was just about to find a table to sit down at: "..."
He was stunned for a moment and looked at Yun Wanchen with some confusion.
The prince has a cold nature and is not the kind of person who would take the initiative to talk to strangers. Is it possible that he knows that person?
"Brother, can I sit here?"
After approaching, Yun Wanchen discovered that the man was holding a baby in his arms.
The little milk baby was carved from pink and jade, very good-looking, and looked at him with a pair of big black eyes that looked like gems. Whether it was a man or this little baby, their faces were very strange. They had never seen them before, but a feeling of familiarity that penetrated into the bones of their bones emerged crazily.
“Please.”
The man in front of him raised his head and smiled at him, then stretched out his hand in a gesture of invitation.
The man's appearance was ordinary, but his eyes were full of familiar and seductive evil.
Yun Wanye! ! !
Yun Wanchen's face turned dark instantly.
Damn it, this guy just ran out on his own, why did he bring his little sister out too?
Also, when he left, these two guys were still in the house. Except at night, he traveled almost in wind and snow, and he did not dare to delay at all, but these two guys were already there. Waiting here.
How did they run ahead of him?
Before he could continue thinking about it, Yun Wanning's milky voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
[Hey, second brother, look at the way the eldest brother looks like he recognizes us. 】
【Huh? ? ? 】
【Why is eldest brother angry? 】
Yun Wanchen: "..."
"How can you be angry? You are angry that I brought you out."
Yun Wanye poured a glass of wine and replied nonchalantly using her inner voice. Only Yun Wanning and Yun Wanchen could hear it.
Yun Wanchen: "..."
He is self-aware, but this boy is really brave enough. It is freezing cold and the road is desolate, so he is not afraid of his little sister. Anyway.
“Thank you!”
Yun Wanchen said pretentiously, lifted up his robe and sat beside Yun Wanye.
[Oh brother, don’t be angry. I asked my second brother to take me out, and my mother agreed. 】
"Mom woke up?"
[Yes, mother woke up not long after the eldest brother left. It's no big problem. My sister is waiting by my side, so eldest brother doesn't have to worry too much. 】
"Yes."
Yun Wanchen responded softly, and then asked with inner strength, "You left later than me, how come you are here?"
"Little sister, please explain to the elder brother, save my internal energy."
Yun Wanye said casually using her internal energy, then picked up the wine bottle and poured a glass for Yun Wanchen, also pretending He said in an unfamiliar tone, "Brother, please."
[Oh, okay! 】
Yun Wanning responded and immediately prepared to explain to Yun Wanchen with great interest.
However, before she could start, Cang Yan came over and looked at Yun Wanye and Yun Wanning with an inquiring and curious expression.
"Sir, do you know this strong man?"
Hey, it's really strange. Why does he feel that this strong man is so familiar with that little baby?
It seemed like he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
“Yes.”
Yun Wanchen replied perfunctorily and waved for Cang Yan to sit down. Cang Yan greeted Yun Wanye politely, and then the three of them People began to drink wine.
There are not so many rules when going out. Neither Yun Wanchen nor Yun Wanye treats Cang Yan as a servant when drinking, but as an equal drinking partner.
The three of them pushed cups and changed cups, while Yun Wanning, who was in Yun Wanye's arms, looked up at Yun Wanchen and told him the whole story from the bottom of her heart.
[Brother, here’s the thing, my second brother and I disguised ourselves in order to avoid the system, not to expose our identities, and to make things easier. 】
【The woman disguised as a man that you and Cang Yan met last night was Su Qianxue in disguise. 】
Hearing this, Yun Wanchen, who was holding the wine glass, paused in his eyes and raised his brows slightly.
It is indeed Su Qianxue! ! !
He guessed it right.
In his mind, Yun Wanning's inner voice continued, just in time to clear up all his doubts.
[The emperor issued a secret order and transferred Mo Yuanhao to Dingbeiguan. In order to complete the task, the system ordered Su Qianxue to follow Mo Yuanhao. ]
[Mo Yuanhao was too fast. Not long after leaving Haojing, Su Qianxue lost him. However, he didn't expect to meet you again in the barren mountains and wild ridges. 】
[Then, the system temporarily released a task for you. My second brother and I were worried, so we caught up. 】
[As for why we left later than you, but arrived here earlier than you...]
[That’s because, when I was bored, I carved a few teleportation formations to play with. It happened to come in handy today. My second brother and I teleported here directly, of course faster than you. 】
In order to prevent Su Qianxue from getting lost in the wilderness, the system always turned on the navigation for her.
Yun Wanning could also see it, so he drew the map and marked the locations of Su Qianxue and Yun Wanchen for Yun Wanye to see.
Thanks to his natural sensitivity to direction, Yun Wanye recognized Yun Wanchen's direction at a glance, and based on the snowy weather, he made a rough calculation of their mileage.
Yun Wanning learned from Su Qianxue's conversation with the system that this woman had been following Yun Wanchen, with a distance of only two hundred meters.
So, she kept an eye on Su Qianxue's position and gave real-time feedback to Yun Wanye.
In this way, the brother and sister came to the tavern first and waited.
After listening, a flash of clarity flashed in Yun Wanchen's eyes, and he completely understood the cause and effect of the matter.
It turns out that yesterday was indeed an accidental encounter. He was not their main target, he was just a casual visitor...(End of Chapter)
