C579 South of the city (2/2)

In that case, the princess' safety would be guaranteed.

”Will not... Just a few of us? ” White Mirrorjade looked at Murong Yue, ignoring Yun'er who was at her side. In his eyes, Yun'er was useless.

With a frown, he began to consider whether his decision was a little unwise.

The smile on Mu Ru Yue's face didn't change as she continued, ”There is one other person that is responsible for protecting our safety. But I think... For example, Young Lord, you are someone who will be sought after wherever you go, so you don't need anyone to protect you. ”

”This is only the capital. Within the capital, this young lord's reputation was flourishing. In addition, that gatekeeper had followed him to meet this young lord. Naturally, he had to be respectful towards this young lord.

When the people of the outer city hear this young master's name, they would only think about how to kill me or try to swindle some benefits from me. When this young master goes out, you must be careful. ” White Mirrorjade disdainfully said.

It was as if they were saying, For someone as important as me, how can you not send people to protect me?

White Mirrorjade's words caused Mu Ru Yue's teeth to ache. She only thought of the benefits she could bring to White Mirrorjade, but she forgot about them … This White Mirrorjade fellow was the most picky.

”An Xin, I spent a huge sum of money to hire him.” Now that he had a request from White Mirrorjade, it was best not to think too much of this trivial matter. Mu Ru Yue consoled herself in her heart.

”Hmm? ”Then where is he?” White Mirrorjade reluctantly accepted Murong Yue's words and then asked.

”He will be waiting for us at Ten Mile Slope. That's the only way down south. ” Mu Ru Yue repeated.

”Oh? ”It seems like they did investigate quite carefully.” White Mirrorjade said, a bit satisfied.

”What do you mean?” Mu Ru Yue looked at White Mirrorjade with suspicion, only to see him proudly saying, ”The road to the south has already been blocked. If you want to head south, you can only go to the 10 mile slope. After ten kilometers of the slope, there were the twelve mountains. After the twelve mountains, it was to the south. ”Knowing all this, it's clear that they have already investigated this matter.”

White Mirrorjade's words caused the depths of Murong Yue's heart to be satisfied.

As expected, he just needed to find Chen Qing. However … He hadn't thought that Chen Qing would actually agree. After all, in his eyes, what happened to the empress was the most important thing.

If it wasn't for this, he wouldn't be so reluctant to leave the Imperial City.

However, if Chen Qing were to know of these words, he would definitely choke himself to death with hatred. Only the heavens knew that when he made such a strange agreement with Mu Ru Yue, it was not easy for him to refuse her. Thus, he decided to use White Mirrorjade as an excuse.

Who would have thought that White Mirrorjade would actually agree to go south without the least bit of reliability. This caught Chen Qing off guard. Even if he wasn't willing, he still wouldn't go back on his word after agreeing to Mu Rong Yue's request. Thus, he accepted the matter with a pinch of his nose.

Of course, Mu Ru Yue didn't know about these small incidents, which made her feel that Sang Cheng was really a good person and also a good partner.

It could be said that this was a beautiful misunderstanding.

The horse carriage headed towards the direction of the 10-mile slope. Mu Ru Yue sat by the window and looked at the scenery outside. This was the first time she was here. Previously, when they had left the city, they had always been on the official road. In the past, only those martial artists who disliked rules and those who were wanted by the imperial government would go through this road.

There were some flowers planted on both sides of the 10 mile slope. It was as if someone was carefully waiting on them. This caused some people to feel suspicious. After all, this was not a private place.

However, he was merely curious. With the beauty of the scenery, it would be enough for him to enjoy it.

On one side, White Mirrorjade was no longer as relaxed as he usually was. He held a book in his hands, and was currently rapidly reading through it. After Mu Ru Yue finished looking at the scenery outside of the window, she looked at White Mirrorjade and curiously asked, ”I didn't expect that you would actually be reading a book. It really is surprising.”

”Who do you think did this!?” Since the age of ten, this young master has rarely looked through books! If it wasn't for you going south, why would this young master need to do such a disrespectful thing? ”

As White Mirrorjade spoke, he tossed all of the books in his hands into Murong Yue's hands.

After being smashed by White Mirrorjade, Mu Ru Yue was stunned. As she looked at his appearance, she didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. However, when he opened the book in his hand, he was also amazed.

In this book, there were all kinds of difficult cases. There were also some solutions written on it.

As White Mirrorjade saw Mu Ru Yue look, he proudly said, ”This is an ancient book from my Medicine God Valley. The symptoms are similar to the plague that we have just seen, right?

Even if not all of them were the same, at least some of them could be solved. This ancient book, I'll give it to you as a gift. ” White Mirrorjade's words were straightforward.

”Give it to me?” That's not good, right? No matter what, it is an ancient book of your Pill King Valley, if you do not take it back, won't you be scolded? ” Mu Ru Yue was really interested in this book, but … But she was also a bit embarrassed.
