Chapter 10 The road to exile is still far away
"Ms. Ye asks like this, does it mean you don't trust me?"
Chu Qingyun did not answer, but asked back. The joking smile in his eyes was completely gone, "I am just fulfilling my promise, what I said, in order to repay the favor."
Meeting Ye Qingran's gaze, his eyes revealed firmness. Ye Qingran was stunned for a moment and then looked away.
As the most powerful agent in the 22nd century, Ye Qingran has never failed in her missions. She has seen too many people, and practice makes perfect when it comes to interrogating and observing people's emotions.
You know, no matter how strong a person's psychological quality is, his eyes will show flaws when he lies, even if it is just the slightest, but the eyes of the person in front of him are firm, without any flaws. Ye Qingran thought, maybe his words are not completely untrustworthy. .
The General's Mansion, which had great military exploits, was now of no use to the Dog Emperor, so he fell into such a situation. No matter from which aspect, helping the General's Mansion was of no use to this person.
But he is still willing to help, which is reasonable if he goes by the idea of repaying his kindness.
This at least proves that he and that scumbag emperor are not the same person.
Then, they cannot be considered enemies.
At least not for now. No matter what his purpose is, Ye Qingran can take advantage of this to leave some chips for himself.
This person may be trustworthy.
Ye Qingran thought so and inadvertently looked back at the people who were taking a nap. The night wind was still a bit cold, so Jiang frowned and wrapped her clothes tightly.
If you stay like this for a long time, it will definitely lead to the root cause of the disease, which will be bad.
These people are all relatives of the original body and love the original body very much. She is not a heartless person. Now that she has taken over this shell, she owes a favor and should do her best to help the original body but regrets it.
Thinking of this, Ye Qingran turned his head again, considered for a moment and spoke again: "Since it is to repay a favor, can you do me one more favor?"
Chu Qingyun turned his head to look at her and said softly: "Please speak."
"Can you help us find a small town to stay?"
……
As the night got darker, everyone was resting under the trees, and many had already fallen asleep. The official counted the number of people, but upon closer inspection, he found that one person was missing.
Where is Ye Qingran?
The officer was puzzled. If there were fewer people in exile, he would be the one causing trouble!
Along the way, he could see that Miss Ye was not a good person. Before, he only let her do what she did for the sake of money, but in the face of fate, no bribe could be tolerated.
He was just an escort and didn't want to take the blame for this.
With this thought in mind, the officer simply stood up to search, looked around, and finally saw a vague shadow not far away. It looked like Ye Qingran, but the moonlight night was dim and he couldn't see it clearly.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but the official always felt that he heard voices, and there was a vague voice of a man.
What is she doing?
The officer thought about it and decided to step forward to confirm further.
"Find a small town to settle down..." Chu Qingyun repeated to himself. Ye Qingran thought he was in trouble. After all, helping an exiled criminal cross the sea to find a good place was a serious crime, but Chu Qingyun dared to break into the palace alone and even go around. Wandering, no matter who he is, this request shouldn't be too difficult for him.
"I will do my best." Chu Qingyun gave his own answer, and Ye Qingran breathed a sigh of relief, which was regarded as an agreement.
She wanted to say something else, but she was keenly aware of someone approaching. It was dark here, and Chu Qingyun was dressed in black, so it should be difficult to be discovered. She put her hand on her lips to signal Chu Qingyun to be silent, and then heard the official scolding her. : "Miss Ye, the road to exile is difficult and dangerous. Why should you be obsessed with admiring the moon for a while?"
Ye Qingran noticed that the official was still walking forward and said to Chu Qingyun, "I'll hold him back. You hurry up and leave."
Chu Qingyun knew in his heart that he quickly disappeared in the darkness. Ye Qingran deliberately made his clothes looser and pretended to have just finished using the toilet. He turned around and went to the official with a smile and said: "Master, it's so late. Aren’t you going to rest yet?”
"What were you doing just now?"
The official didn't make any detours with her. If something went wrong, he would not end well.
"My lord, I'm sorry, but people are in a hurry. The little girl was too anxious just now so I didn't tell you. I hope my lord can forgive me." After saying that, Ye Qingran put a piece of silver into the officer's hand. The officer weighed the money and gave up on pursuing the blame. : "After solving the problem, you should go back quickly. Don't make it difficult for us."
Ye Qingran nodded, quickly arranged his clothes, and followed the official back.
When we came back, everyone was basically asleep, and two officers were on duty in shifts, probably because they were afraid that someone would escape.
Ye Qinglian was not asleep. She had seen Ye Qingran leave quietly before. She came back after such a long time. Something must have happened. She quickly stepped forward and tried to get something out of Ye Qingran: "Sister, you are still thinking at this late hour." Hanging out?"
Ye Qingran glanced at her and thought to herself that this little girl has a lot on her mind. Doesn't she feel tired staring at her like this? Knowing too much is not a good thing.
She didn't bother to talk to the girl anymore, so she said casually: "I can't sleep, so I just got up to blow in the wind."
It's so perfunctory, who would believe it!
Ye Qinglian knew that this was an excuse she made up, and curled her lips in disbelief: "Sister, the wind has been blowing for a long time, and you are not afraid of catching the cold."
Ye Qingran said he didn't want to deal with this fool.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Ye Qinglian thought she was guilty. She looked Ye Qingran up and down and saw a bone whistle hanging on her waist. Although the moonlight was not very bright, she still saw that the bone whistle seemed to be in good condition. General The government is obviously gone, where did she get this thing?
Could it be that it was stolen?
She was thinking something in her mind. She suddenly reached out to take it when she had an idea, but a hand grabbed her wrist tightly. Ye Qingran grabbed her hand and shouted in a low voice with sharp eyes: "What are you doing?"
She had never seen Ye Qingran's look like this before. She was frightened for a moment, but she still had the courage to say: "I, my sister can pick up such a beautiful bone whistle while blowing the wind, so what can I do if I can look at it?"
"It's a gift from a friend and cannot be borrowed." Ye Qingran's voice was calm, but there was no smile in his eyes. No matter how stupid Ye Qinglian was, he could tell that Ye Qingran was really angry.
Is this her weak sister?
Why do you feel like a different person?
Seemingly realizing that he had struck too hard, Ye Qingran retracted his strength, but did not give in. "Ye Qinglian, don't pry about things you shouldn't. Curiosity killed the cat. You should understand this."
As she said this, she shook off Ye Qinglian's hand. Ye Qinglian, who had been pampered since she was a child, had never been so wronged before and almost fell out.
In shock, she rubbed her sore wrist and watched Ye Qingran turn around and walk back to the tree, dazed for a moment.
Thinking of her actions along the way, whether it was the escorting official or the unreasonable uncle and cousin, they were not impressive in front of her. Now, it would be better for her to be more sensible.
After all, the road to exile is still far away.
