Shengjing Noble

Chapter 621 Don’t think too much

"Who doesn't know you? Don't try to get close to me."

"Just take me with you, okay? I promise, I'll do whatever you say. Besides, I can be responsible for carrying your luggage, running errands, etc. I'm very good at work! Not only that, the three of you are the targets of my father's strict investigation, but with me, there will be four of us, and we can escape many searches!"

Su Lanyin touched her chin and thought about it, and was actually a little hesitant about his suggestion.

Seeing this, Huo Jingxiao struck while the iron was hot and said, "With me here, even if you really run into someone from the Zhennan Palace, they won't dare to do anything to you. I can guarantee that you can go north smoothly."

"No... If the King of Zhennan knew that you were with us, wouldn't that be..."

"Don't worry, I will take care of anything myself and will never cause any trouble for you."

Su Lanyin thought about it and realized that the three of them were unfamiliar with the place and really needed someone to show them the way.

Moreover, if they really encounter trouble, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. If the Prince of Zhennan is here, many problems can be solved easily.

"Okay, but we can't keep you with us. You have to tell me your purpose."

Huo Jingxiao's eyes dodged: "Didn't I just say that? I want to go out and see the world..."

"Heh~ You can fool a child with this kind of words, but you can fool me? Forget it."

Su Lanyin folded her arms across her chest and stared at him warily.

"If you don't tell the truth, it's enough to prove that there is no basic trust between us. It's really inconvenient to travel with someone who needs to be on guard at all times."

This was very clear. If he couldn't tell her his true purpose, she would not agree to take him with her.

Huo Jingxiao hesitated, and finally said with embarrassment: "Actually, I want to go to the Northern Territory."

"Northern Territory?"

"Ah."

"why?"

"This...I really can't say it, but I need to see King Xiaoyao. I know you are his concubine. Only with you by my side can I see him."

Su Lanyin frowned, her eyes full of suspicion: "Do you know him?"

"Not really an acquaintance, but I want to find an old friend through him."

"Old friend?"

She looked at the young man in front of her, who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. He was very young and didn't look like an old acquaintance.

However, since it was his privacy, there was no need for her to ask too much.

Su Lanyin thought for a moment and said, "I can take you with me, but I probably won't go to the Northern Territory."

"Why? Isn't King Xiaoyao your husband? Aren't you going to go find him?"

"The North Territory is at war and it's very dangerous. Besides, I don't have any feelings for him. I don't want to see him."

"So where are you going this time?"

"Quanzhou, go see my mother."

"Quanzhou... Whatever. After all, I can set off on my own when I get to Quanzhou."

"If you want to come with us, you must disguise yourself like us tomorrow."

"no problem."

Su Lanyin nodded, then turned around and took out her luggage from the shelf beside the bed.

"Sit down, my lord."

"What?" Huo Jingxiao looked confused.

She took out a few bottles and jars from her bag and said with a smile, "Let's change our appearance first."

……

Su Lanyin and Song Huaizhi disguised themselves as a middle-aged couple, while Su Shengming disguised himself as an elderly coachman.

This combination seems reasonable, but Huo Jingxiao seems a bit abrupt.

Fortunately, he is young and not very tall, so if he wants to disguise himself, he can only disguise himself as a woman to be more concealed and not noticed.

So, under Su Lanyin's coercion and inducement, Huo Jingxiao reluctantly changed into women's clothes and was disguised as her and Song Huaizhi's daughter.

……

The next day.

The four of them hit the road.

Su Lanyin explained the situation to Su Shengming and Song Huaizhi, and they both agreed to take Huo Jingxiao with them.

A few days later, they finally arrived in Victoria.

This is the border between the north and the south, where all kinds of people mix together. It is a veritable center of chaos.

When they came, they happened to pass by here during the day, so they left without stopping.

But at this moment, it was getting dark, and it would take another six hours to reach the next city, otherwise they would have to sleep in the wilderness.

So, living in Victoria is the best choice.

When they arrived at the city gate, they immediately saw the wanted poster posted on the wall, which was Su Lanyin's portrait.

Huo Jingxiao teased, "Prince Xiaoyao really spent a lot of money to find you. A concubine is worth a million taels, so if she is the principal wife, wouldn't it be tens of millions of taels?"

Su Shengming said with disdain: "Why are you pretending? When Yinyin was here, he didn't cherish her. Now that she's gone, he's mobilizing a large army to search for her all over the country. I don't know what his purpose is!"

Song Huaizhi looked at Su Lanyin worriedly, then pushed him gently.

She comforted him softly, "Maybe there is some misunderstanding between the two of them, Yinyin, don't think too much about it."

Su Lanyin came back to her senses and it was obvious that she was thinking about something else.

Seeing that they were looking at him with different expressions, he pretended to be relaxed and said, "Don't worry, I was just wondering, if I voluntarily surrender myself, will the one million taels be given to me?"

Everyone: "..."

When people are speechless, they are really speechless.

People queued up outside the city gate for inspection.

Finally it was their carriage's turn.

"Everyone in the car get out and be checked!"

Su Shengming jumped out of the car first, and then Su Lanyin, who played the role of the husband, helped Song Huaizhi, the "wife", out of the car, and finally it was the "daughter" Huo Jingxiao.

Four people stood beside the carriage and watched the officers looting the items in the carriage like bandits.

Fortunately, they did not leave their valuables in the open, but hid them in secret compartments inside the carriage.

Weicheng is located at the junction of two provinces. There are many local tyrants with complex power structures. Even the officials have complicated relationships behind them.

It is said that the local prefect was a former gang leader who bought his way to the top through buying money, and the officials and runners under him were naturally all ruffians.

Those who pass by will always be skinned.

Su Lanyin deliberately put some small silver bills and worthless silver jewelry in her bag to deal with them.

After searching the carriage and taking away the things, these people refused to give up and targeted the four of them, especially Huo Jingxiao.

In order to keep a low profile, Su Lanyin really couldn't make him too ugly.

If you have a big black mole on your face, it will easily attract other people's attention.

So, she just deliberately made him darker, enlarged his nose, and made his eyes smaller.

The strange thing is that Huo Jingxiao's foundation is too good. No matter how he changes, he always looks better than ordinary people.

Those officers were not picky eaters to begin with, and when they saw a good-looking woman, they became even more eager to make a move.

Especially Su Lanyin and others who were dressed simply and looked like they were easy to bully.

When Su Shengming saw them walking towards him, he quickly stepped forward to block the three people behind him.

He smiled and said, "Sir, can we go into the city now?"
