Chapter 131 You're so heavy, don't crush him.
He rode at breakneck speed, ostensibly to separate from the guards, but in reality, he simply wanted to see Wu Ziyan more quickly in the open.
Wu Ziyan couldn't ride a horse because of menstrual cramps, but she got carsick in the carriage. Her face turned pale, and she felt dizzy, nauseous, and wanted to vomit.
Fang Yuerong and Han Yuxiu were sitting in the same car with her, one on his left and the other on his right, both quietly tugging at her sleeve.
She no longer cared about their little tricks. When she wanted to seduce someone, she grabbed one of them with each hand and said, "If I am guilty, let God punish me. Why make me ride in a carriage?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
"My boss?"
"The worst thing is riding in a carriage, especially a bumpy horse-drawn carriage. Let me ride a horse instead." She bit her lip, her eyes almost rolling back.
"No, riding a horse will make you feel even worse."
At this moment, Wu Ziyan released her hands, clasped them together, chanted Amitabha, lifted the carriage curtain, and a gentle breeze blew in. She exclaimed, "I am as free as the wind!"
Then there was silence. With her eyes closed, she leaned to one side on Fang Yuerong's shoulder. Han Yuxiu pouted, wondering why she didn't lean closer to him.
Fang Yuerong was secretly delighted. Yue'er sat outside the car, her ears perked up, afraid of missing a single piece of gossip.
The carriage was bumpy and not as fast as a horse, so they would rest after traveling for a while.
Wu Chengji had never tried to travel so slowly before. In the past, he would always be ordered to return to the capital or to complete a task quickly. He would travel 800 li a day at full speed, and he would have to change his horses many times along the way!
Bringing his fourth sister along felt a bit like a picnic in the countryside, which was quite nice; she hadn't had such a leisurely time in a long time.
They traveled for a while longer, leaving the border and traveling about 200 li away. At this time, several owls were circling in the sky, and Wu Chengji knew that they were the communication means of the Holy Martial Kingdom.
But she never expected that the Empress would hand over the token to Wu Ziyan.
Wu Ziyan stuck her head out and saw birds in the sky. It must really be Xiao Yun'er sending her a message.
She whistled, and an owl flew down from above, indeed carrying a letterbox on its ankle.
She opened it thinking it was good news, but her face froze, clearly indicating it wasn't.
"Damn it, you just tried to assassinate me, and now that you see I'm still alive, you're coming again?"
"I'm afraid the two of you will not be able to travel with me from here on out, because someone wants to kill me."
The implication was that all three of them were completely defenseless, as weak as chickens, and she couldn't protect them.
"What are you talking about?"
"What I mean is that you should go back to the city first. My eldest sister can manage to protect one person, but with the two of you, I'm afraid that won't be enough."
She said it so plainly, without a trace of tact, that she admitted she was a good-for-nothing.
"To be honest, you two are the apples of my eye. You absolutely cannot have anything happen to you. I'd rather die than let anything happen to you!"
She casually mentioned that she would die, but the other two had their own thoughts after hearing it. Han Yuxiu knew that she was worried about their safety, but she couldn't just say something like that about dying!
"Looks like I really need to go to a temple and pray when I have time. What a terrible thing to do! They all gathered together when I was in unbearable pain, and then this kind of bad news came at me!"
After conveying the message to Wu Chengji, Wu Ziyan leaned against Fang Yuerong and closed her eyes. At that moment, she felt someone tugging at her sleeve. She squinted and glanced at them lazily.
But Han Yuxiu tugged at her sleeve: "You're so heavy, don't crush Young Master Fang. You should lean on my shoulder instead."
She never expected him to be so jealous, and Fang Yuerong never expected Han Yuxiu to be so proactive. But she just wanted to tease him, and he even put his arm around Wu Ziyan and let her lean against him.
"What are you doing? Men and women shouldn't touch each other!"
“You said it yourself, I’m so heavy, I’m afraid your small frame can’t support me. Yue Rong is so strong, I should be able to lean on him for a while without hurting him.”
But his eyes instantly turned aggrieved, like a dog owner who only has him as her dog, but she petted someone else's dog.
She sighed, straightened her body, tidied her hair, and leaned towards Han Yuxiu again. But his shoulders were really thin and weak; he could only hold needles and scalpels. He couldn't handle any weapons, and even felt a little pain in his face from them.
She had to be patient for now; if she couldn't treat everyone equally, someone would harbor resentment. But after hugging him for a while, the calming medicinal scent emanating from him soothed her considerably.
Han Yuxiu stared at Fang Yuerong with a smug look on his face. His eyes seemed to be telling her that he was still the most important person in her heart.
Fang Yuerong wouldn't hold a grudge against a younger brother. He took out an account book from a box next to him and started doing the accounting.
He didn't take him seriously at all. Seeing that it was pointless, Han Yuxiu looked down at Wu Ziyan, who was still frowning slightly. She looked much more obedient with her eyes closed, and she also smiled.
“Once you reach the next county town, take a carriage back first. The Fang family’s carriages will be much faster. The sooner you get back, the sooner I can feel at ease.” She closed her eyes and repeated this to them.
However, the two were unwilling to leave. They traveled to the next town and county, but did not separate in the end. Wu Chengji assured them that he would not let outsiders harm a single hair on their heads.
Then she had no choice but to grit her teeth and continue, but she would no longer ride in the same carriage with the two of them. The spies from the small Rong Kingdom were after her, and if she was out in the open, they wouldn't have to bother searching for her.
Another day passed, and her discomfort had improved considerably. She was able to ride a horse and walk side by side with Wu Chengji. She was still a little puzzled: "Weren't there supposed to be assassins? Why haven't we seen anyone come?"
"Perhaps the road is too far. You'd rather have an assassin come and kill you, wouldn't you?"
"I don't mind because my older sister is here. Those assassins will definitely not harm a single hair on my head."
"Hey, I meant not to hurt them, you know... well!"
"Big sister, when it comes down to it, you won't abandon me and run away, will you?"
Wu Chengji laughed heartily. Her people were also on their way here, and she wouldn't let anything happen to them.
On the other side, the spies from the Xiao Rong Kingdom, holding a map, felt they had been traveling for a long time, but still hadn't encountered anything.
The leader, Zirsa, flipped through the map over and over. The winding roads drawn on it gave her a headache. In the end, she followed the official road, and the group disguised themselves as merchants.
