Chapter 149 Arrival in Western Shu
The next day, when Gu Lingyue and Long Shang got up, they happened to see the shopkeeper coming out from next door holding an empty bowl.
When he saw Gu Lingyue and Long Shang coming out from the next room, he smiled and said, "You two are up."
Long Shang nodded calmly, and Gu Lingyue smiled and said, "Is your young master awake?"
"Awake! Awake!" the shopkeeper said excitedly.
"Uncle Ming, who are you talking to?" A weak voice came from the room.
"Master, they are two benefactors."
As the shopkeeper said this, he made way for Gu Lingyue and Long Shang to go in, and he followed them in.
When the man in the room heard that it was his benefactor who saved him, he struggled to get up from the bed, but was stopped by Gu Lingyue.
"Don't move, just lie still. We finally managed to save you. What if you stretch the wound?"
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper hurried forward and helped the man lie down.
The man looked at the two people in front of him, one dressed as a servant and the other a wealthy man with a bulging belly. He didn't expect that they were the ones who saved him.
He sincerely thanked the two of them, "Thank you for saving me. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have woken up again."
Gu Lingyue smiled and said, "It's also our destiny."
Hearing Gu Lingyue say this, the man showed a faint smile on his face.
Gu Lingyue found that the man was quite handsome when he smiled. She just took a closer look at him, and Long Shang stepped forward and stood in front of Gu Lingyue, looking at her with a resentful look on his face.
Gu Lingyue found it funny. She was just appreciating beauty, but he was jealous!
The shopkeeper and the man were confused for a moment. Were they not master and servant? Were they gay?
Gu Lingyue stepped forward and shook Long Shang's hand to comfort him, then said to the man on the bed, "Let me take your pulse and check your body."
Gu Lingyue's action made the shopkeeper feel that his idea was correct.
So, when the man was about to stretch out his arm, the shopkeeper quickly stepped forward and stood in front of the man.
Gu Lingyue was stunned. The shopkeeper looked embarrassed. He also felt that he had gone too far. It was purely a physical reaction.
He moved away embarrassedly, and Gu Lingyue stepped forward to take the man's pulse.
After a moment, Gu Lingyue said, "Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with it. It will be fine after a few days of rest."
The man thanked him again and said, "My name is Shui Junfeng, the young master of the Shui family. I heard from Ming Bo that you are going to the capital. If you have any problems in the capital, please come to me. I will do my best to help you."
Gu Lingyue did not reject Shui Junfeng's kindness, "Okay, I'll remember your words."
At this time, Gu Lingyue and Long Shang said goodbye to the two and prepared to leave. The shopkeeper quickly said, "I have asked someone to prepare the food. It won't be too late for the two benefactors to leave after they have eaten."
"No, we plan to go to the horse market and buy a carriage first."
"In that case, please finish your meal before leaving. I have already prepared a carriage for you two."
Gu Lingyue nodded in agreement after hearing this.
After the two finished their meal, the shopkeeper took out an envelope and handed it to Gu Lingyue, "This is a letter I wrote to my master. Take it, my two benefactors. When you arrive in the capital, you can go to my master if you have any questions."
"Thank you." Gu Lingyue took the carriage and got on. This time, Long Shang acted as the coachman and drove the carriage directly towards the capital of Western Shu.
Originally, the shopkeeper had prepared a coachman for them, but Gu Lingyue found it inconvenient and did not use him.
In fact, the inspection in Wuyue City in Xishu was stricter, while the inspection in other towns was relatively relaxed. In addition, Long Shang could speak the Xishu language, so he did not encounter any obstacles along the way.
They drove the carriage in and out of the city during the day, and drove on the road at night when no one was around. In less than two days, they easily arrived at the capital of Western Shu.
During this time, at Long Shang's strong request, Gu Lingyue put makeup on the two of them again, and they dressed up as a couple. After entering the city, they went straight to the city center.
Although the capital of Western Shu was not as prosperous as the capital of Tianqi, it was still bustling with activity. Shops lined the streets, and there were countless restaurants and teahouses. Feng Ke Lai was right in the heart of the city.
Along the way, Gu Lingyue lifted the curtain and looked outside. She wanted to see the customs and habits of the people of Western Shu, but she didn't expect to see people wearing Apocalypse clothes.
This shocked Gu Lingyue.
The shopkeeper also told me to keep silent if possible, but there are still people wearing Apocalypse clothes blatantly.
When Long Shang parked the carriage in front of Feng Ke Lai's door, a waiter saw that it was Feng Ke Lai's carriage and came out to greet him. When he saw that the person driving the carriage was not someone they knew, he was surprised for a moment.
"Who are you two?" the waiter asked puzzledly, looking at the carriage.
At this time, Gu Lingyue also got off the carriage. Long Shang said indifferently, "We are your young master's friends. The owner of Feng Ke Lai in Wuyue City lent us the carriage."
"I see." The waiter took the reins from Long Shang and pulled the carriage towards the backyard. Long Shang and Gu Lingyue walked into the lobby. They did not say that they were friends of Shui Junfeng, but asked the shopkeeper for a room upstairs and asked the waiter to bring up a pot of water.
When the waiter knocked on the door and came in carrying water, Gu Lingyue saw that it was the waiter who took the carriage. She smiled and said, "I didn't expect that there would be so many people from Tianqi in the capital."
When the clerk heard that they were friends of his young master, he added a few words, "Madam came from Wuyue City, so it's not surprising that she has doubts.
The Tianqi people in the capital had all come to Western Shu before, and many of them came to do business. They all had travel permits, and the Western Shu court would not impose too many controls on them. After all, they still needed those merchants to conduct transactions.
The strict inspection in Wuyue City is because it is the last city on the border of Western Shu. They are afraid that Tianqi soldiers will sneak into Western Shu, so the control is particularly strict. "
Gu Lingyue smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the second brother knew so much."
The man chuckled and said, "How would I know this? I just heard it from the Fifth Prince."
Upon hearing this, Gu Lingyue and Long Shang exchanged glances. Gu Lingyue asked, "Does the second brother know the fifth prince?"
The waiter was stunned and looked at Gu Lingyue, "Didn't my young master tell you two? The current emperor's concubine Duan is my young master's concubine."
Gu Lingyue paused, then smiled and said, "Not really. I guess your young master doesn't think it's important."
She really didn't expect that Shui Junfeng had such a relationship with the Western Shu royal family.
The waiter said nothing more after hearing this and poured a glass of water for Gu Lingyue and Long Shang respectively. "Please, both of you."
After saying that, the waiter retreated and closed the door.
Gu Lingyue picked up the teacup and took a sip, then looked at Long Shang, "What do you think?"
She felt that what the guy said had some truth to it, but that shouldn't be all. After all, when a country's survival is threatened, who would care about business transactions?
Long Shang shook his head. "It's hard to say for now. You take a rest first. I'll go see if Xinyu has left any clues."
Gu Lingyue thought for a moment and nodded, "Be careful."
After Long Shang left, Gu Lingyue entered the space, and her merit points increased a little bit. Although not much, it’s good to have more.
At this time, the crops in the field had grown out. After watering them, Gu Lingyue went to the laboratory.
Now that she has come to Western Shu, there are dangers everywhere, so she should prepare more medicine powder.
