275,—the thirtieth cannon fodder—(1/2)

The next day they went to a nearby city for breakfast. Taomi discovered a very strange phenomenon. Why were there no guards following the Tenth Prince this time?

She paid special attention and saw that there was not a single guard. "Didn't Liu Ming and the others come out with you this time?"

"What are you doing with those burdensome people? I don't want them from now on. They are of no use at all and they even ask me to save them." The Tenth Prince said while eating noodles.

"What did they do?" It seemed that he had encountered a lot of things during the time they were separated.

"It's not because of Zixia. You took so many treasures. Of course she was unwilling to give in. She didn't dare to come to me to vent her anger. When she saw Liu Ming and the others on the street, they deliberately made trouble." The Tenth Prince also became interested. Put down his chopsticks and talk to Tao Mi in detail, "Liu Ming is the same. He is so good at martial arts. He didn't run away as soon as he saw the shrew. Those guards who only know how to use brute force couldn't get away. You still need me to save you." It’s useless to tell you.”

"You can't say that. If you hadn't bet with Princess Zixia, I wouldn't have won so many treasures, and Princess Zixia wouldn't be unwilling. So in the end, Liu Ming is just an innocent disaster. You go and save him. Why aren't you happy with him?"

"According to what you said, it's mine, isn't it?" The Tenth Prince slapped his hands on the table and said in a loud voice.

Taomi smiled and said, "I'm just discussing the matter. Brother-in-law, please don't be offended."

"Hmph!" If we were to talk about things, he would be scolding him. If he didn't want to bring guards, and he was afraid that if something happened to him, he wouldn't have someone to take care of him, so he wouldn't follow him. Fortunately, the original decision was too wise. He should decisively become brother and sister instead of husband and wife, otherwise he would have no freedom at all in the rest of his life.

After the two of them had rested, they continued to move forward, taking a walk and taking a look. They were quiet passers-by, watching the different things happening around them, but they did not stray away from the world.

"I said, don't you know how to ride a horse? Why do you want to make a carriage? It's so slow, and the bumping of your butt | buttocks is uncomfortable. It's so uncomfortable, and your butt|buttocks hurt.

"I haven't asked you to drive the carriage yet, so what are you worrying about?" Taomi rolled her eyes, she was so rich, even riding in the carriage hurt her butt.

Hearing what Taomi said, the tenth prince became completely angry, "You drive me, I am a prince and your sworn brother. If you ask me to drive your carriage for you, are you not afraid of retribution?"

"So I hired a coachman. I don't want you, Prince, to sit in the carriage. Do you want to have something to eat?" Taomi said, holding up a fruit.

The Tenth Prince took the fruit and took a bite, "This is what you picked from the tree just now. It's quite delicious. Let's see if we can plant a few in the capital in the future."

"Then I will trouble you, the prince."

"Easy to say, easy to say. When we get it done later, my sworn brother will send you some first." It's not sour at all, but a little sweet.

Taomi smiled and said nothing. They were originally out to travel around the world. As for why she took a carriage instead of riding a horse, of course it was so that the few people behind could keep up. Since someone was deliberately trying to deal with her, how could she not give some advice? Son returns the favor.

But those people obviously weren't very good at martial arts. She couldn't keep up when she was riding a horse, so she had to take a carriage. But half a day has passed, why haven't the people behind them caught up?

It can't be that little skill, what fun would it be if you can't keep up?

"Uncle, let's stop in the county ahead and have something to eat." Taomi said loudly from inside the carriage.

"Okay, miss, sit tight." The uncle responded loudly. With a wave of his whip, the carriage quickly moved forward again, causing the Tenth Prince who was leaning on the wall of the carriage to fall down due to inertia.

Because the mountain road was bumpy, it took a lot of effort to sit up. "Why are you in a hurry? Can't you slow down? Are you rushing to reincarnate? You'll fall to death."

"Can't you say a few words less?" He was so noisy. Was he also so noisy when he came out before? Then how did he come back safely?

"Huh!" He said again, which was really annoying.

Within an hour, the carriage arrived at the county town. As soon as it arrived, the Tenth Prince said nothing about riding in the carriage. Taomi paid the carriage driver and left.

The Tenth Prince waved his fan and walked forward in a big way, looking at the small stalls on the roadside. He stopped to buy something after not taking two steps. Taomi ignored him and found a restaurant to sit down on his own.

Everyone had already ordered things, and the Tenth Prince arrived belatedly.

There was nothing but a fan in his hand, and he was all alone. "Where are those things you just bought?"

"Give it away." The Tenth Prince said nonchalantly, and Tao Mi didn't ask any further questions.

After a while, the waiter brought the dishes. Taomi looked at the tea the waiter poured into the cup, "Good green tea, but I remember I didn't order any tea, right?"

"Uh..." The waiter hesitated for a moment, but then quickly said, "That's because the two of you look unfamiliar and their accents don't sound like our local people. This is the rule of our store. As long as it's the first time you come here,

The guests are all served with good green tea to show the friendship of the landlord."

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, the boss is interested." The Tenth Prince said with satisfaction, "When we came here just now, we noticed that the mountains were full of tea. We entertained them with tea. We really did our best as landlords."

Waiter Dian left with a smile, and the Tenth Prince looked at Taomi, "Even if you have any doubts, can't you just stand still and see what the other party is going to do?"

"You know?" She's quite sensitive.

Taomi looked at the counter aside, where the shopkeeper was calculating the accounts with an abacus. There were dozens of tables of guests upstairs and downstairs, all eating happily, as if everything was calm and there was nothing unusual.

But Tao Mi noticed it, and so did the Tenth Prince. It could be seen that the hiding method of the visitor was definitely not clever. She said that it had been half a day and he still hadn't caught up. She had to sit back and wait for him to come.

Taomi's eyes fell on the pot of green tea, and then she looked at the Tenth Prince, "It's exactly the same as your method, why can't it make some progress?"

"Haha..." What can he say?

The mother-and-son pot and the two-heart pot are naturally not strange to the royal family, but to the common people, they are really treasures, but Tao Mi knows them well.

Come to think of it, they didn't expect that the Tenth Prince would follow, so they had no choice but to use this pot. However, unlike the last time, the Tenth Prince's pot was really poisonous. In comparison, the Tenth Prince's Mongolian sweat medicine was just as poisonous.

It's a lot weaker.

Tao Mi raised her head and drank all the tea in her cup, "Hey, do you really drink it?"

"Why don't you drink the fine green tea?" Taomi asked, and then she got herself another cup, eating local side dishes and drinking the fine green tea.

The Tenth Prince was not as generous as Taomi, so he took out the snacks he bought on the street. Although the snacks were not very delicious, they were much better than the vegetables that contained a lot of poison.

The Tenth Prince is polite, but Taomi is not. The food in this restaurant is very suitable for her taste and tastes good.

"Did you eat them all?" Looking at the plate on the table, there was not much food left. The Tenth Prince opened his eyes wide. He was a prince. Before he became a prince, he was a prince. He grew up in the harem and was very familiar with the taste of some things.

Of course, I know that the tea and vegetables are mixed with something.

He didn't make it clear, but he didn't believe that Tao Mi didn't know it. He ate it even though he knew it was poisonous. Was he stupid?

"What happened if I ate it?" Tao Mi asked.

"But there is..."

"Brother, I know what's going on here better than you, so there's no need to be so anxious." It's been a while since she came to this world, and she's already invulnerable to all poisons, so there's nothing to be afraid of.

The corner of the Tenth Prince's mouth twitched. She was really perverted. He had underestimated her before.

Taomi smiled and said, "Should we find an inn to take a rest? We are not in a hurry to get going even if we are angry."

"Then let's find an inn." The Tenth Prince walked to the railing, looked around, pointed in one direction and said, "There happens to be an inn there. How about we go there to stay today?"

"No, Sir, someone died in the inn there two days ago. It's unlucky. You should go to the one in the west of the city to stay. That one is clean and no one has died."

The waiter said at the side that it was okay if he didn't say anything. After saying this, the Tenth Prince's interest immediately rose, "Then go to that store. I happen to have never seen what a ghost looks like. I just want to go see it today."

Look, are Cai Die interested?"

"Okay, I don't care." Taomi said casually.

"Hey, gentlemen, I don't mean to say that there are ghosts or that it is unlucky. Anyone who lives there will be seriously ill within one night and will not be able to get out of bed the next day. Now, except for the government officials

Even the doctors are unwilling to go in for diagnosis and treatment." The waiter said anxiously, as if Taomi and the Tenth Prince were the disobedient children.

Taomi smiled unconsciously. If it was an infectious disease, how could only one person in the inn be killed? Someone was obviously pretending. "Really? When you say that, I really want to go and see it."

"Hey, if you want to go, go ahead, but don't be brave. If you feel uncomfortable, run out quickly. Maybe you can still have a chance to survive."

The waiter walked away, and the Tenth Prince walked up to Tao Mi, "Why do I feel that what the waiter said is so mysterious? It doesn't look like a plague. Do you think someone is playing tricks? But who is so powerful?

Can you have such great power to control the entire inn?"

"I have to go and see this for myself." Taomi tilted her head and looked at the Tenth Prince, "Are you afraid?"

The Tenth Prince shook his fan and gave Taomi a roll of his eyes, "Tch, you're not afraid of me, what are you afraid of?"

Taomi smiled and said, "I'm not afraid either, so let's go and have a look together."

At this time, the shop owner came over and said that he heard from the waiter that the two of them were going to that inn, so he took the initiative to come over and free their meal. The Tenth Prince was very angry. There were added things in this dish, so he got a bargain.

Did you say there was no need to pay for food?

Taomi quickly stopped them, and the two of them left the restaurant and arrived in front of the inn.

"Yingfeng Inn, there is a Yingfeng Restaurant in Taoyuan County, and there is a Yingfeng Inn here. Isn't it opened by a boss?" The Tenth Prince stood in front of the inn and looked at the plaque.

At this time, a man wearing a police officer's uniform came out of the inn, "Who are you two? This place has been under martial law and no one is allowed to enter. If you want to complain, please go elsewhere."

"Why? Isn't this an inn? Isn't an inn just for people to stay? Why don't you let us in now?" The Tenth Prince stepped forward and tapped the catcher on the shoulder with his fan.

"This inn is no longer open for business. You should go elsewhere quickly, or we will take you to the government." The policeman said, a little annoyed when he was knocked.

In head-to-head confrontation, our tenth prince has never been afraid of anyone. "You still want to take me to the Yamen? I'm just here to stay. Which law of the Song Dynasty have I violated? Tell me clearly. If you want to

Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude."

"Do you think I really don't dare to tie you up?" As the police officer changed his mind and wanted to draw the knife, Taomi held down the man's arm and said with a smile, "We are just here to stay, and this inn is

You didn't drive it, you let us in and everything was fine, so why bother yourself."

"It's not that I'm looking for trouble, it's that you really can't enter here. The county magistrate has ordered that no one is allowed to enter. I'm here to deliver food, so don't make it difficult for me." The policeman also softened his tone.

He said with some embarrassment.

"Then how about you just pretend you didn't see us and we went in by ourselves?"

"this……"

As soon as the policeman said something, he was pushed aside by the Tenth Prince, "What's the point of talking to him? Just come in."

After saying that, he opened the door first and walked in. Taomi followed him in. The little detective quickly stood up, looked at the sky that was about to get dark, sighed and walked towards the Yamen.

This is something you have to go in on your own, it has nothing to do with me.

Tao Mi and Shi Wangye pushed the door open and walked in. They were greeted by the smell of dust, as if it hadn't been cleaned for a long time.
