After a sleepless night, Mo Jinran had two dark circles under his eyes. When he was on the road the next morning, Gu Hong looked at her with burning eyes, and there was even more resentment in his eyes.
I thought that Gu Hong would continue to be stubborn, but unexpectedly, he actually abandoned his horse and sat in the carriage together. As a result, he could only ride out alone in the deserted place. He was not annoyed at the deserted situation, and chatted with a few military attachés while walking.
The carriage was originally very spacious, but it became a little narrower because there was one more person. Gu Hong squeezed in, making Xu Yi a little more restrained. But Gu Hong couldn't care about that much now. When he woke up after being drunk yesterday, he wanted to get Mo Jin.
Ran's feelings became much more urgent.
The atmosphere in the carriage where the three of them were living together was a bit strange, especially Mo Jinran, who felt restless. It was better for her to lie casually in the carriage than yesterday, and just took a soft pillow and leaned against the side of the carriage.
Xu Yi also leaned quietly against her side. He always liked to be quiet, and it was only when he was with Mo Jinran that he was different from the past. Now that Gu Hong is here, he has returned to his peaceful appearance.
The silence between the two of them made Gu Hong unbearable. "Why don't you say anything?"
Mo Jinran rolled his eyes: "You're so good, why do you have to get in the carriage?"
"I feel a little tired from riding, so I sit in!" Gu Hong said awkwardly, his eyes waiting for Mo Jinran and Xu Yi, their sleeves were draped together, looking a little intimate.
"You are a martial arts practitioner, why are you tired?" Mo Jinran curled her lips in disbelief. It was obvious that she had listened to Leng Qing's words yesterday. But because of her own reasons, she instinctively rejected Gu Hong. Even if she didn't hate it in her heart
Gu Hong, she also restrained herself from liking him.
"I'm just tired. Why do I need General Mo's approval if I prefer riding a horse or a carriage?" Gu Hong was annoyed. Mo Jinran's appearance of taking him thousands of miles away made him angry!
Mo Jinran fell silent, said nothing more, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Xu Yi hesitated to speak, wanting to excuse Mo Jinran, but he didn't know how to say it. Because Mo Jinran and Xu Yi looked like two children quarreling, he really didn't know what to do.
persuade.
After traveling for a few hours, they reached an uneasy mountain road, and the carriage began to bump. Mo Jinran's head almost hit the wall of the carriage several times, but Gu Hong pulled her back to save her from the pain.
.
Xu Yi was swaying and already drowsy. Gu Hong simply pulled Mo Jinran to his side and held her hand tightly with one hand.
Just as Mo Jinran was about to break free, there was a sudden big shake, causing the two of them to hit each other. Xu Yi on the side slid to the side of the carriage, and he fell asleep more deeply. This carriage was indeed
It's like a cradle. The more you rock it, the more soundly you sleep. But it's extremely embarrassing for those who are not asleep.
"Ninth Prince, let go!" Mo Jinran whispered. The posture between the two of them was a bit ambiguous now. She was afraid that Xu Yi would wake up, which would be even more embarrassing.
But Gu Hong refused to let go and turned a deaf ear to Mo Jinran's words.
Mo Jinran's temper became even more violent. He raised his fist and pointed at Gu Hong's nose to greet him. Gu Hong did not dodge and received such a punch forcefully.
Mo Jinran didn't expect that he wouldn't hide, but he used 100% of his strength. In an instant, nosebleeds spurted out from Gu Hong's nose. Mo Jinran took advantage of the opportunity to retreat a little, and Gu Hong quickly covered his nose with his fat sleeves.
.
"This...this..." Mo Jinran was a little panicked, and their big movements finally made Xu Yi wake up. Seeing this situation, he quickly took out a handkerchief and gave it to Gu Hong to block it.
Nose!
"Ninth Prince, what's going on?"
"Well, the carriage was shaking too much just now, and the Ninth Prince accidentally bumped into the carriage." Before Gu Hong could answer, Mo Jinran spoke for him. Seeing Gu Hong's eyes blazing, she stuck out her tongue playfully.
!
Xu Yi believed Mo Jinran's words and felt that Gu Hong was too careless. He stuck out his head and said to the driver outside: "The mountain road is not easy to walk on. You go slower, don't let the Ninth Prince get hurt!"
Hearing this, the coachman outside was startled. Who knows about the Ninth Prince? Riding a horse galloping is no problem. It was the first time I heard that riding in a carriage would cause injuries. But he had no choice but to answer the master's orders.
Gu Hong's nosebleed finally stopped, and it was noon. Because they camped out very late that night, they didn't have time to rest at noon. The people on the carriage could use some dry food on the carriage. Gu Hong was drunk yesterday.
, so no other food was prepared, and the same was true for others, so the three of them were eating dry steamed buns in the carriage, without even a piece of pickles.
This was the most difficult thing for Mo Jinran to swallow, so he had to drink a few mouthfuls with water. Her mouth was getting more and more spoiled by Leng Qing, so at this moment, she simply didn't know what to eat.
Taste. As a military general, she didn't want others to say he was delicate, so she kept insisting.
In the afternoon, Gu Hong received a letter from Fei Ge. After reading it, his expression did not change. Mo Jinran couldn't help but ask. "What's wrong? Did something happen in the court?" She was a little worried. Princess Xili was getting married.
She was afraid something would go wrong when she entered their home.
"Yeah!" Gu Hong responded, making Mo Jinran's heart skip a beat.
"What happened?"
"Don't worry, it has nothing to do with the Mo family!"
"Oh, Huhu..." Mo Jinran exhaled heavily and patted his chest with his hand.
"What happened?" Xu Yi also asked curiously. He is an important minister in the court and is still very concerned about the affairs of the court!
"It's Brother Wuhuang, who is related to the Yizhan gold mine. Now he has been imprisoned!"
Gu Hong's words made Mo Jinran and Xu Yi very surprised. Mo Jinran couldn't help but ask: "After all, the fifth prince is a relative of the emperor, why is he punished so heavily? What does the gold mine have to do with him?"
"An ordinary prefect would not have the guts to hide the gold mine from himself. Moreover, according to the later investigation by the court, the gold mine was very large. The inn was just an entrance, and the Fifth Emperor Brother was the one who made the final decision for the court.
The private gold mining in the gold mine has been divided up by the Fifth Emperor Brother and others!" Gu Hong also said with some resentment. Although the Canfeng Dynasty is now in a peaceful and prosperous age, these gold mines should have enriched the national treasury. As the Fifth Prince,
Not only did the relatives of the emperor fail to set an example, but they became corrupt, which made Gu Hong despise him.
"Oh, that's it! But, I don't think the emperor will let the fifth prince go to jail because of this!" Mo Jinran still couldn't understand. The emperor was very indulgent towards the fifth prince before, and the Emperor Duanxiu was not ruthless either.
He was scolded harshly, as he is usually a person who does not do his job properly.
"Oh, Brother Five Emperors has committed too many sins. Losing the golden pendant is a grave sin. Now he is really annoyed by Brother Emperor. This can be regarded as a warning to him!" Gu Hong said, his eyes couldn't help but glance at Mo Mo.
Jin Ran hid the golden pendant on his chest, thoughtfully.
This made Mo Jinran a little flustered, and she touched Jin Pei through her clothes, but she didn't feel that she was wrong. Jin Pei believed that she was the master, and she was qualified to have her. Thinking like this, Jin Pei seemed to sense it. , gave off a slight heat, and then disappeared after just a moment. Mo Jinran was even more relieved, and the trace of panic he had before disappeared.
"Are you worried about the Fifth Prince?" Mo Jinran asked Gu Hong tentatively. After all, the Fifth Prince is Gu Hong's brother! And she herself hated the Fifth Prince, that pervert, and molested him many times. , even the desolation is not spared, which is really disgusting.
"Fortunately, I don't feel anything at all. He deserves it!" Gu Hong didn't have any feelings for the Fifth Prince, it was just due to the little blood relationship.
This sentence made Mo Jinran breathe a sigh of relief. Gu Hong's answer was very satisfying to her.
They quickly forgot about the Fifth Prince. After all, this person was not someone they wanted to think of.
In the evening, they settled in the town they originally planned. There was an inn here, and the imperial court of the Shichen Kingdom gave the order early. They were treated to delicious food and drinks. Interestingly, after they were full, the steward of the inn served Got some beauties.
In fact, this is reasonable. Now there are only men in the group, and only one, Mo Jinran, disguises herself as a man. In order to please these envoys from other countries, this method is very common.
These women are not women from brothels. They are slightly higher-class than those from brothels. Because their customers are all dignitaries.
When these women appeared, Gu Hong's complexion darkened. Leng Qing and Xu Yi cleverly avoided the touch of those women and did not have any contact with them. But other civil and military officers were quite interested. This mission has been going on for a long time, and they are now experiencing the first rain after a long drought, so they can't wait to exchange cups and cups with the beauties, and the rest can make people imagine endlessly.
Mo Jinran frowned and turned back to the room dissatisfied. The steward of this inn seemed to be sensible on the surface, but in fact he was very confused. He stopped Mo Jinran. "General Mo, why can't these girls satisfy you?" Let’s see, there are still a few good-looking ones here, how about..."
"That's enough. I and General Mo are tired from the journey. Just go and rest first!" Gu Hong's face was not ordinary ugly. After saying that, he took Mo Jinran's arm and went to the dormitory where he wanted to rest.
The steward who was left behind at the inn was confused and muttered to Xu Yi, "Master Xu, what's wrong with the Ninth Prince? He's so angry!"
Xu Yi secretly scolded this man as an idiot in his heart, but on the surface he wore a humble smile. "My lord, don't think too much. Our prince and general are tired, and you don't need to serve here anymore. Please go back and rest!" After speaking, , he arched his hands and disappeared in front of that person.
Leng Qing was hiding not far away and snickering. A delicate woman beside him had already taken a fancy to him, but his cold eyes made the woman stay away. At this time, he was not in front of Mo Jinran. There was no gentleness at all, just one look was enough to make that woman tremble all over for a long time!
