"In that case, let's go."

In the end, he compromised.

Shen Qiqi looked at Mu Chengze and saw him giving a thumbs up, and she couldn't help but smile brightly.

Gu Tingshu hugged her and put her on his horse. As soon as he climbed up and sat down, Mu Chengze couldn't help but speak.

"Ash, there seems to be something wrong with this. I brought my cousin here, so she should ride the same horse with me."

"Does Your Highness want to talk to me about secretly abducting my cousin?"

"Your Highness must not forget that as far as Shen Qi is concerned, His Highness is a foreigner."

Mu Chengze was speechless at the word "waifu". He touched his nose and took the lead in riding the horse away.

Ashu is not someone who is easy to offend. He is a vengeful person. If he continues to argue with him, he doesn't know how much he will suffer along the way.

Anyway, I am really a foreigner, so I should listen to him. Only by listening to his words can I have a safe journey.

It was already later than the scheduled time, so Gu Tingshu no longer delayed, took Shen Qiqi's hand and put it around his waist, then raised his riding whip.

After walking for most of the day, they left Kyoto, turned around, and then slowly stopped.

Heading south from Kyoto City, the road becomes more and more remote the further you go. When you approach Ningzhou, there are only rugged mountain roads left, not even an official road.

Every time you go in or out, you have to pass through the mountain road. Even an adult man has to walk for more than ten days.

Gu Tingshu leaned against the big tree and watched Shen Qiqi digging for something next to the grazing horse. He thought that when she got there, she might regret her persistence today.

Mu Chengze took out the dry food and handed one to Gu Tingshu first, then sat down together and ate some pancakes while looking at Shen Qiqi.

"Look at what your cousin looks like, and then look at yourself. Do you feel that you have aged a lot in an instant?"

"One is fresh and lively, and the other is sluggish. If you don't know, you would think you are already in your seventies."

The more he talked, the more disgusted he became. In the end, he didn't even want to sit with Gu Tingshu. He stood up, patted his butt and turned to the other side.

"Cousin, come here and have something to eat, I have to go on a journey later."

They had to find a place to stay before dark, otherwise they would have to spend the night in the wild.

They were not taking an official road, so there were no inns along the way, so they had to pay attention to the time along the way.

Shen Qiqi responded, then looked at the dug grass carefully, then stood up and faced Gu Tingshu.

"Cousin, look, is this ginseng?"

Her words made Mu Chengze, who was drinking water, laugh, "Cousin, where can you find ginseng in Kyoto?"

Even if there was such an out-of-the-way roadside, someone would have discovered and poached it long ago.

He shook his head and laughed, and when he turned his head to look over, the smile that had not yet been taken back was frozen on his face.

"Oh, this is really ginseng!"

The two-finger-sized ginseng was just held in her hand, and Mu Chengze clicked his tongue and shook his head.

"My cousin is really lucky. I have been talking about this wild ginseng for decades."

It was right on this side of the road, with people coming and going for decades without being discovered, but she just dug it and found it.

Gu Tingshu didn't expect that she was so lucky. He took the wild ginseng and wrapped it, reached out and patted her head, and his tone finally softened.

"When we get to the inn, I'll cook it for you to eat."

Mu Chengze nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, you should make up for it."

"Just don't cook it all at once. If you overdo it, my cousin may have a nosebleed."

With a joking look on his face, he reached out to scratch his little face that was stained with mud, but without thinking, Gu Tingshu slapped it away.

Gu Tingshu brushed off the mud spots on her face and took a bun from the package to her.

"Eat."

"Has cousin eaten?"

Gu Tingshu nodded, "Eat."

Mu Chengze had just finished eating the pancake. He looked at the bun in Shen Qiqi's hand and curled his lips.

He didn't tell him early that he had steamed buns, so he could only chew the hard pancake.

No wonder she didn't eat the cake when she was given to her cousin earlier. It turned out that A Shu had given her a small start.

After pulling two handfuls of grass angrily, he leaned against the big tree and closed his eyes.

After resting for a while, they changed horses when they resumed their journey. Mu Chengze walked side by side with them, sighing towards the sky.

He deliberately selected a good horse, but now he is taking advantage of others.

"Cousin, at this rate, we probably won't be able to reach the next town. We may have to spend the night in the wild."

I thought she would be scared, but when I looked over, I only saw a pair of shining eyes.

Mu Chengze was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed.

Yes, how could he forget that cousin Ashu is different from ordinary women.

There were so many snakes, insects, rats, and ants in the miasma forest that she dared to break into. How could she still be afraid of the dark night?

When he saw it, he thought it was a dodder flower, but it turned out that he had misjudged it. This was not a dodder flower. It was obviously a vine with strong vitality.

"Have cousin ever eaten roasted hare? If we can't get to town at night, how about we go catch rabbits?"

Shen Qiqi didn't say yes or no, and her hands around Gu Tingshu's waist tightened slightly.

Gu Tingshu turned to look at Mu Chengze, "If Your Highness likes it, I can catch a few for Your Highness."

Mu Chengze said "hehe" twice, he was not a pig, how could he eat so much.

Besides, if he really ate that much, he would be the one with the nosebleed.

After all, they did not sleep in the wild, and finally arrived in Yunchuan County before nightfall.

Several people found a hotel room to stay, but when they checked in, they found that there were no connecting rooms.

Mu Chengze looked at Shen Qiqi and then at Gu Tingshu, gritted his teeth and took out the road guide prepared in his arms.

"Guan family, this is my mother...my cousin and his wife's, this is mine."

People waiting in the hotel came and went, and the people staying in the hotel came from all over the world. He couldn't guarantee that Shen Qiqi would be safe sleeping alone, so he had to make this decision.

Originally he wanted to say it was his wife, but when he saw Ashuna's murderous gaze, he really couldn't say it.

The official checked it carefully and recorded it in the book, then took the key and asked the waiter to lead them upstairs.

"The guest officers should try not to go out at night. They must be in the house during the curfew. Guards will come to check. If you are not here, the younger ones will also be punished."

"I understand, go and bring some food and some warm water."

Mu Chengze tasted a few copper coins from him, and when he saw him bowing his head and leaving happily, he took a look at the room.

Just after taking a quick look, I met a pair of ignorant and unkind eyes.

He touched his nose, smiled awkwardly and sat down, "What, this is just for convenience."

He also prepared another guide. If there were several connecting rooms, he would not say that they were husband and wife.

"If you don't want to, I will come next time."

Gu Tingshu moved his eyes away and turned to Shen Qiqi, whose expression was unchanged. Seeing that she didn't think much about it, she stretched out her hand and asked him to take out the guide.
