Chapter 248: Detour
But the system was still successfully compromised.
The two bargained for a while and finally exchanged routes for ten points.
Looking at the remaining sixty points, Linlang's heart ached. She couldn't bear to turn the wheel, just to save them on the way back just in case. Unexpectedly, ten points were gone in the blink of an eye.
Rabies broke out on the spot, and he cursed all the way.
When he arrived in Ji'an County, Qiu Bai didn't wake up naturally at all, but was activated by Lin Lang's frightening resentment.
"Where is this?"
Anyone who wakes up from a coma for many days and finds that the vehicle under him is still moving will ask this classic line.
"Sir, are you awake? Drink some water first." The girl lifted the curtain and looked inside. She stopped the carriage and took a water bag and handed it to him.
"This is Ji'an County at the edge of Beishan Prefecture. After you fainted that day, I was afraid that there might be an ambush ahead, or that a killer might be chasing you from behind. So I simply circled around to get here."
"Thank you for your hard work, cough, cough..." Qiu Bai covered her mouth and coughed twice, and a few wisps of dazzling scarlet suddenly oozed from between her fingers.
"grown ups?!"
Linlang was shocked and quickly took out the white handkerchief.
Although it can be seen from the several deaths in the simulation, the poison in his body is dangerous.
But the young man's face, which looked as white as if it would become transparent and shattered in the next moment, still made her sweat.
"I'm fine, don't worry." Qiubai himself was very calm.
Rather than being ignorant of the strange poison in his body, it was more like he had anticipated such a day and could accept it calmly.
"No matter what... we have to let you return to the capital now. Only when you go back can you be safe for the time being." The slender hand with obvious veins lifted a corner of the curtain, and the young man glanced outside, frowning.
Linlang was keenly aware of it, and recalled what he wanted to say before he fainted from the poison, and couldn't help but ask, "Sir, did... something happen?"
"Do you still remember the letter I sent back to the capital to report to the emperor? That gray dove." Qiu Bai did not use the handkerchief she gave her.
"Yeah." Linlang didn't notice this and just nodded intently.
Naturally, she was deeply impressed by the gray pigeon, after all, it almost became her food ration.
From another strange perspective, she can also be regarded as Sang Yu and the emperor's matchmaker?
"When I met the killer that day, I suspected that the letter sent to the emperor might have been secretly leaked, so those killers would know our route." Qiu Bai's eyes darkened.
Linlang understood his worries.
The gray pigeons in the palace must have been professionally trained. If they were touched by someone other than the emperor during the delivery process, they would definitely react.
Therefore, it is unlikely that the letter will be leaked outside the palace, because it is easy to hide it. But if it is inside the palace... it would be even more terrifying.
Thinking of her sudden snake venom in the simulation and the series of plague incidents that happened before, Linlang felt a headache.
"Next, let's go to the capital ferry first." Qiu Bai covered his mouth and coughed up two more mouthfuls of blood. He calmly wiped it with his sleeve and continued.
"The emperor wrote back and said that he sent someone to the Southwest Road to take us to the ferry in the capital."
So the imperial edict was just a cover, and the real destination was the southwest road where they first arrived, but they didn't expect that he fainted before he could say anything.
"So this is what you were going to say that day." Linlang laughed with a bitter look on her face.
There was a shortcut to Ganqing, but she missed it.
