Chapter 479 Wife, this is OK
Chapter 479 Wife, this is OK
A fire had been lit in the cave. It was clean and fairly large, and everyone was busy cleaning up.
Su Yueyao sat by the fire and watched them collect the waste. She wanted to help them, but everyone stopped her from moving.
"My wife, you'll have to wait a while for dinner. The weather is bad today, so Tianyi and the others should collect more firewood." Xingchen said as he stood beside Su Yueyao.
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry to eat. I'll just eat something simple after I'm done. You guys should pack up quickly! I'll sleep in the carriage tonight. How are you going to sleep?" Su Yueyao said with a smile.
"We'll take turns watching over it at night, so just take a nap by the fire."
"Thank you for your hard work these past two days."
"We both have martial arts skills and often go out. It's common for us to sleep outdoors. But my wife has to work harder." Xingchen said with a smile.
"It's not hard. We are traveling together. The day after tomorrow we will go to Dongshi Mansion to rest for a night."
"Okay, I'll arrange it in advance."
"Uh-huh."
For dinner, Tianyi and his friends simply cooked some porridge. Su Yueyao didn’t have much appetite, so after eating, she went to the carriage to rest.
It was not until midnight that it started to rain and Su Yueyao was awakened by the thunder.
"Is it raining outside in Yiyang? Are Your Highness and the others okay?" Su Yueyao asked as she sat up.
"My wife is fine. The cave Xingchen found is located on higher ground, so water cannot enter the cave."
Su Yueyao nodded, and fell asleep again leaning against Cui Yiyang in a daze.
The next morning, when Su Yueyao woke up, the sky had cleared up and the whole valley was filled with a fresh scent.
"My wife, breakfast is ready. Do you want to come down to eat or stay in the carriage?" Cui Yiyang asked after entering the carriage.
"I'll change my clothes and go downstairs to eat."
When Su Yueyao came down, almost all the luggage had been packed. The eldest prince and several others were standing at the entrance of the cave discussing things with Xingchen.
"My dear wife, are you awake?" Xu Minghe said excitedly when he saw Su Yueyao walking towards her.
"Yeah, I'm awake. Did you guys get up early?"
"It's been a while since I woke up. I even went to the front to explore the way!"
"So what did you find?"
"There's a fallen tree on the official road not far ahead. We won't set out until after noon today."
Su Yueyao was just about to ask something when the eldest prince came over.
"My wife, please wash up first. The hot water is ready. Xingchen has arranged for people to clear the tree that is blocking the road. It will only take some time."
"I see. Tell them to be careful."
After Su Yueyao washed up and had breakfast, she prepared to take a walk nearby.
The eldest prince, Gongyang Ruoyu, and Xu Minghe accompanied Su Yueyao.
Su Yueyao was walking slowly in the mountains when suddenly a rustling sound came from the bushes not far away.
Xu Minghe threw a stone without hesitation and dodged it.
The eldest prince and Gongyang Ruoyu guarded Su Yueyao closely.
"My dear wife, look, there are pheasants."
Xu Minghe picked up a pheasant directly from the bushes and said with a smile.
Su Yueyao's eyes lit up when she saw this. They were quite lucky as they had meat for lunch today.
"One pheasant is too few. I'll go look around." Xu Minghe threw the pheasant to the ground beside him and flew away.
"I have to admit, Mr. Xu's martial arts is really strong!" Gongyang Ruoyu said as he looked at the wound on Pheasant's chest caused by a stone.
Just based on that slight movement just now, he thought he could have killed the pheasant by feeling alone, but to be honest, he couldn't do it.
"Was this pheasant killed by the stone Xu Minghe threw just now?" Su Yueyao asked in surprise.
"Yes! This pheasant only has this one wound."
"Okay! It seems that he is a good hunter. Can we arrange for him to go hunting in the next two days? We can also have a picnic and barbecue outdoors." Su Yueyao said with a smile.
"My wife, you can have this." The eldest prince nodded and said.
"My dear wife, I found two more rabbits and a pheasant." Xu Minghe's voice had already come over, but the person had not arrived yet.
In an instant, I saw him holding two rabbits in one hand and a chicken in the other.
"You're great. Let's go back and have a snack for lunch." Su Yueyao praised.
Just now she joked about letting Xu Minghe go hunting in the future, but now she thinks this decision is very wise and very suitable for him!
When Xingchen and a few others came back with lunch, they found two roasted rabbits, a chicken and a pot of chicken soup in the cave.
"Xingchen is back, let's have a meal first! These prey were hunted by Minghe!" Su Yueyao said with a smile.
"Really? If you want to eat it in the future, just ask Xu Shijun to make some."
"Leave Xingcejun to me." Xu Minghe said with a smile.
"After lunch, my wife, I will go to Dongshi Mansion first. The road condition is no problem and the house has been selected. Yiyang and the others know about it." Xingchen said to Su Yueyao.
"okay, I get it."
After everyone had finished their meal, they set off to continue their journey. The road condition was much better than before, and the carriage was only slightly bumpy, which was bearable. It was better than being thrown away directly, but the speed of travel was not fast.
We couldn't find a suitable cave at night, so we had to set up camp.
That was how it ended. Su Yueyao stayed in the wild for another night, got up early and set off on her journey. It was almost noon when they arrived at Dongshi Mansion.
Su Yueyao opened the car window and saw the city gate in front of her. She breathed a sigh of relief, as she could finally take a good rest.
Traveling these days is really exhausting.
But the carriages were still lined up in the same place. After waiting for a while, there was still no movement. Su Yueyao opened the window again and looked at the carriages and people lined up in front, feeling a little confused.
"What are you doing up there? So slow?"
"Madam, please wait a moment. The envoy has gone to inquire."
"Lord Pu, who is the prefect of Dongshi? Do you know?" Gongyang Ruoyu asked.
"I inspected Dongshi Prefecture a year ago. It was an old prefect. I wonder if he has been replaced." Pu An said.
At this time, Nanfeng rode by on horseback, but his face looked bad, and he got on the carriage directly.
"What happened in front?" Su Yueyao asked Nanfeng, looking at his unhappy expression.
"My wife, I think there is something wrong with Dongshi Mansion. Xingchen hasn't come back yet. Why don't we go to the post station first?"
"What happened up front?"
"There are thirty-four soldiers guarding the city ahead, and it costs one hundred coins per person to enter the city. Those soldiers are particularly irritating to the wealthy merchants who come here to visit."
"Oh! Just let everyone change into official uniforms and we can go in openly." Su Yueyao said directly.
"My dear wife, if something happens in Dongshi City, it will be dangerous if we rush in. It won't be too late to go in after we have investigated it thoroughly." said the eldest prince.
"No need. If something really happened to them, they should have found out that I was here in secret. This time we are going to Dongli Country on the orders of the emperor. They haven't made any movement, but are making things difficult for other people at the city gate. I guess there is something wrong with the prefect." Su Yueyao said directly.
She was extremely tired from traveling these days, and she was looking forward to going to Dongshi Mansion to have a good rest. Now if she was asked to go to the post station again, she really didn't want to go.
