Chapter 124 Sleeping in the open

Early in the morning after the secret treasure conference ended, Cen Xiyan left Yuhuang City with Cang Qing and Guli Xiaman.

As for Canghai, who was recovering from his injuries in Wuta Town, Cen Xiyan had already asked Ronghua to send someone to send him a message, asking him to return to Lancheng on his own after recovering from his injuries.

Cen Xiyan asked Charman Guli to dress up in men's clothing. Her skin was slightly roughened, her eyebrows were thickened, and she put on two mustaches. The original peerless beauty turned into a slightly handsome young man from a foreign country. Charman

Gu Li pretended to be a man for the first time and was very new to her new image. She looked in the mirror for a long time before letting go.

The three of them were the first group to leave Yuhuang City after the city gate opened. All three of them were on horseback, and their speed was not slow.

Cen Xiyan was lucky that Gulishaman could ride a horse. If this girl didn't know how to ride a horse, she would not be able to wait for her and could only arrange for her to return to Dongxun Kingdom with the caravan.

According to Cen Xiyan's prediction, the Cen family sent someone to take her back to Beijing, probably around November. The day she left Yuhuang City was September 11th. She took the official road and rode a horse quickly, and she would arrive around October 20th.

We arrived at Qingyuan Town. If we took a horse-drawn carriage, we would definitely not be able to get there.

After driving for five days in a row, Cen Xiyan somewhat admired Guli Xiaman. This girl's riding skills were very average. She obviously didn't ride horses often. Her sitting posture on the horse was too stiff. It would be very tiring after a day of riding.

When she came down, Cen Xiyan estimated that the inner color of her thighs would be red and swollen. When she got off her horse at noon on the first day, Cen Xiyan noticed that her walking posture was very unnatural, but she didn't say a word.

For five days in a row, I followed them closely without falling behind at all, let alone complaining.

Cen Xiyan has a softer liking for Guli Xiaman. She is not squeamish, can endure hardships, and is tenacious. In this time and space, such women are rare.

That evening, the three of them hurried to a mountain forest.

Cen Xiyan reined in the reins and said: "There are no villages or small towns nearby. If we have to rush to the next city, the city gate is probably closed. It seems we have to camp here today."

Cang Qing never spoke much, and only said one word, "Okay." Then he got off his horse, chose a location by the nearby stream, and began to cut branches and build a simple shelter.

Cen Xiyan and Guli Xiaman also dismounted, tied their horses to a nearby tree, and began to prepare.

Cen Xiyan got a branch, sharpened it, forked a few fish by the river, slaughtered them neatly, removed the internal organs and scraped the fish scales.

Gulishaman lit a fire, turned her head, and saw Cen Xiyan's skillful fish killing movements. She couldn't help but feel dazed for a moment. After spending a few days together, she found that she could no longer see through the young man who saved her.

That day, he offered to help. Judging from his words, manners, dress, and generous actions, she originally thought that he was a kind-hearted nobleman from a noble family.

Later, he had a martial arts competition with Aizimaiti, and was surprised to find that this young boy was actually a master of martial arts! But at that time, she just thought that he was a young man with both civil and military skills trained by a noble family.

But after spending the past few days together, Gulishaman suddenly felt that she might have made a mistake in judgment.

Which pampered young man can travel at high speed instead of riding in a carriage for several days, making himself covered in dust?

What noble man who is used to enjoying himself can eat at an open-air stall at will, a bowl of greasy mutton soup, and still drink it with gusto?

What kind of refined nobleman can eat dry biscuits on horseback in the wind when he is in a hurry, without changing his expression?

Also, those pampered young men from aristocratic families probably eat a lot of fish, and there are probably not many who know how to kill fish, and they are so skillful in their movements, so they obviously do this kind of thing often.

It is absolutely impossible to say that he is just a young man from an ordinary family. Not to mention his low-key luxury, let’s talk about the few people she met in Yuhuang City who were very respectful to him, and the people around him.

This so-called "senior brother" who was taciturn, but always focused on him, was obviously her bodyguard or subordinate.

Gulishaman felt that this benefactor was really a mysterious person and she could not understand him...

Feeling Guli Xiaman's gaze on her, Cen Xiyan couldn't help but turn around, smiled at her, and then asked: "Are you good at cooking?"

Gulishaman nodded, "I know how to fry, bake, boil, and stir-fry. Although I can't compare with the restaurant chef, I'm still passable."

"Very good." Cen Xiyan handed several fresh fish that had been slaughtered and strung on branches to Gulishaman, "You are responsible for grilling the fish, and I will go to the forest to get another hare or pheasant for our dinner.

That’s almost enough.”

"Yes, my benefactor." Guli Xiaman agreed and quickly took the fresh fish from Cen Xiyan's hand.

Cen Xiyan couldn't help laughing when she heard Guli Xiaman calling her, "Stop calling me ungrateful. My name is Suifeng, you can call me by my name."

"How is that possible..." Gulishaman's pretty face turned red. How could she call a young man whom she didn't know very well and who was not a relative by his first name?

Cen Xiyan saw Guli Xiaman's unnatural expression and realized that she was wearing men's clothes at the moment. Letting a girl call her by her first name was considered Meng Lang's behavior. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Then

Just call me Young Master."

After saying that, he stood up, took out a few small bags from a bag on his horse, and handed them to Gulishaman, "These are seasonings. You can use them as you like."

"Okay." Gulishaman took the few seasoning packets and was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the young master was even prepared for these. It seems that he is a person who is used to sleeping in the wild.

Cen Xiyan entered the nearby woods and soon caught a fat rabbit and two birds.

At this time, Cang Qing had already set up the shack and walked to the stream to help Cen Xiyan take care of the game.

Several fresh fish were almost roasted, exuding an alluring fragrance. Cen Xiyan sniffed and grinned, "It smells very fragrant. It seems that Guli's craftsmanship is very good."

When Guli Xiaman heard Cen Xiyan calling her name naturally, her pretty face couldn't help but blush slightly, but she soon adjusted herself and said with a smile: "Then give it a try, sir, and see if it suits your taste."

"Okay." Cen Xiyan washed his hands, took the grilled fish handed over by Guli Xiaman, blew in the hot air, took a bite, chewed carefully, and praised after swallowing: "The skin is crispy, the meat is tender and salty.

Moderate, very good, senior brother, you should try it too."

"Yeah." Cang Qing nodded, put rabbit meat and birds on the fire, picked up a grilled fish and started eating it, but there was no expression on Jun's face, and he couldn't tell whether it was suitable or not. He wanted to

It would be impossible for him to comment.

Through these few days of getting along, Guli Xiaman also got to know some of Cang Qing's character, but she didn't care about his attitude. She felt very satisfied when she saw that Cen Xiyan ate very delicious food.
