Chapter 282 Enough with the affectation!
He quickly wiped the table and chairs again with the rag draped over his shoulder.
These are our first major clients this morning.
"Gentlemen, what would you like to eat? Our shop offers not only tea and rice wine, but also soy milk, fried dough cakes, steamed buns, and more."
Qi Zexuan was very vigilant, even though they had only just left the capital.
He looked the shop owner up and down and then at the surrounding terrain; it seemed to be just a small shop by the roadside.
They brought a lot of dry food with them when they came out, but nothing was as satisfying as a freshly cooked hot meal.
"Two steamed buns, please."
Then everyone started ordering food, but Wu Ziyan didn't appear for a long time.
They got out of the carriage, and Chu Yu stood beside Qi Zexuan, looking at the carriage and wondering why no one was getting off.
When the curtain was lifted, Wu Ziyan came out first, but there was a red spot on her chin.
She didn't look in the mirror and didn't know how ugly she was.
She was a little confused because everyone around her was staring at her.
Changsun Boyu followed him out, and nothing changed.
When Fang Yuerong and Chu Qiu came out, Yue'er had been watching them for a long time.
If it weren't for the fact that his clothes hadn't changed, he wouldn't have believed it was their young master.
"Sir?"
"younger brother?"
They recognized them by their aura, but how could the carriage be under some kind of witchcraft?
Why do all the people who come out look ugly?
Wu Ziyan walked over to Qi Zeyun's side, after all, he was the leader of both sides.
She ate the steamed bun with an air of familiarity, while Qi Zeyun stared at her, looking at her again and again!
"What's wrong, Lord Zeyun?"
"When did you get such an ugly red spot on your chin?"
"what?"
She doesn't have the habit of carrying a mirror with her, so she can't look at herself.
At this moment, the waiter brought over a bowl of tea and placed it in front of her, without even glancing at her twice.
She finally caught a glimpse of a large red spot on her chin in the tea.
Good heavens... This Changsun Boyou is quite dedicated; he knows how to make people ugly!
He had just complained about how ugly they were in the carriage, which makes her seem rather shallow.
When Qi Zeyun saw Chu Qiu and Fang Yuerong, he stopped eating his steamed bun.
Who are these two ugly creatures? When did they infiltrate their group?
"Those who wanted to harm us along the way have already obtained our portraits."
"They might be lying in ambush on some state line. We'd have to disguise ourselves then."
"Once we leave the capital's jurisdiction, we'll say we're going to the Rongyang border to do business."
"You can wait a bit, you won't see much anyway."
She grabbed a steamed bun and stuffed it into her mouth. To be honest, Qi Zexuan and Qi Zeyun refused.
They're both better looking than anyone else. If you put blemishes, scars, or moles on their faces, it'll really damage their image!
"Young master, you're so ugly, won't you fall far short of the Fourth Prince's approval?"
The moon circled around the banyan tree, looking at it with a mixture of astonishment and disbelief.
Chu Yu and Yue'er acted similarly. Looking at Chu Qiu's ugly face, and then thinking about their own faces which looked similar to his, they found it hard to accept.
"Brother, aren't you afraid His Highness will find you repulsive because you're so ugly?"
"It's only natural for women to appreciate beauty, but if she still finds us pleasing to the eye even when we look like this, then what does it have to do with our appearance?"
"Okay, very good, you have a high level of awareness. Now, do you dare to sit down across from her and have a meal?"
He glanced at Wu Ziyan's table and then remembered that she had deliberately avoided him in the car.
Their appearance certainly makes it hard to eat.
"Go ahead."
"Third Sister, how can a ruler and his subjects sit at the same table?"
"I think it's your lack of self-confidence that's the problem."
But Fang Yuerong and Changsun Boyou sat down at that table without any hesitation.
Qi Zeyun deliberately avoided eye contact; his face really didn't look appetizing.
After eating a few, he stood up and said he was full. Wu Ziyan ate two steamed buns and asked for a piece of fried cake.
She also had a bowl of soy milk, but the woman, who was quite thin, ate so little.
While eating, Fang Yuerong suddenly asked, "Who's paying?"
"Boss Qi Zeyun, we're all his caravan attendants now, right, Boss Qi?"
Okay, so you don't want to spend a single penny, huh?
However, it is still possible to afford the food and lodging for a group of about twenty people.
"Yes, eat faster, you stewards and servants!"
Although she was unwilling, she was quite cooperative.
And after the meal, Qi Zeyun and Qi Zexuan also could not escape the clutches of Changsun Boyou.
However, their faces were only slightly altered; their eyebrows were thicker, and some sunspots were added to their faces.
She's had a chin implanted, but it looks completely unattractive now.
None of them wanted to look in the mirror anymore. After the renovation, they set off again, pulling their cargo trucks in a grand procession.
Wu Ziyan woke up from his nap and started riding a horse; his horsemanship is actually quite good now.
You can pull the reins while looking at the map.
Walking side by side with Qi Zeyun, he looked at the map in his hand and said.
"If we walk fast tonight, we can reach Hanlu Temple."
"After passing Hanlu Temple, you're no longer under the jurisdiction of the capital city. If you keep going forward, you'll reach Qin Prefecture."
"Then hurry up, let's rest at Hanlu Temple tonight. Camping outside is too cold, and so many men can't stand it."
"it is good!"
She shouted at the top of her lungs, urging the group to speed up.
We're going to Hanlu Temple to rest tonight, and the drivers and carriages behind us are whipping their horses and speeding up.
The closer they got to Hanlu Temple, the colder they seemed to get.
Because they were heading up the mountain, and the road was being built all the way to the top.
Then, they descended from the mountaintop to leave the capital's territory and reach Qinzhou.
Wu Ziyan had taken out his cloak and tied it around his body; he was someone who was close to him and seemed oblivious to the temperature change.
Perhaps because they were all skilled martial artists, her bulky attire made her stand out from the crowd.
Qi Zeyun seemed unwilling to ride alongside her anymore, whipping his horse's rump and galloping ahead, making it impossible for her to catch up.
My calves weren't strong enough, and if I ran too fast, my hand injury still hurt, so I simply stopped and climbed back into the carriage.
Qi Zexuan wasn't inside this time; it seems he was riding in the back with Yue'er.
But when she got into the carriage and saw those two ugly faces, she couldn't help but grin.
Take a deep breath and tell yourself to calm down and think about what they used to be like; it's all fake.
"Miss Ziyan, didn't you go riding a horse? Why are you back in the carriage?"
"My injury hasn't healed yet, I'm being dramatic, I just want to ride in a car."
After saying that, she plopped down on the stool, squeezing herself between them when they were sitting side by side.
It doesn't mean anything else, I just feel warmer when there are many people around.
However, just sitting in the car without any entertainment can be quite boring.
