Chapter 202 Go to the Imperial Capital!
"Nothing." Lin Xuxi shook her head. The money was originally given to him. She asked, "Have you had breakfast?"
Shen Yichen shook his head and said, "I haven't had breakfast yet. I'm waiting for my benefactor."
"Let's go downstairs to have breakfast, and then Qichen." Lin Xuxi glanced at Shen Yichen and asked, "Can you ride a horse?" She couldn't expose herself by taking Shen Yichen to ride the wind, so riding a horse was better.
By the way, find out about the affairs of the palace.
The palace was enormous, and if Lin Xuxi really wanted to check if there was anything, she would definitely have to sneak in. With her cultivation, she was naturally not afraid of the guards.
It's just like looking for a needle in a haystack, and it's difficult to find out.
"I, I can't." Shen Yichen lowered his head in shame. A scholar is useless. How could he, a mere scholar, possibly ride a horse?
"Forget it." Lin Xuxi waved his hand and led his men downstairs.
After breakfast in the lobby, she took away a few hot steamed buns. However, she didn't seem to plan to eat them on the road, but gave them to the two beggars hiding in the corner.
"Eat." Lin Xuxi handed over the steamed bun, hid a small piece of silver underneath it, and rubbed the little beggar's hair. She said softly, "It's getting colder after the snow melts. Go back."
If I give them the money openly, some jealous adults will definitely try to snatch it away. By then, both the money and the buns will be gone. No one will find them if they are hidden in the buns.
Shen Yichen watched from the side, feeling somewhat puzzled. His benefactor treated him coldly, but spoke softly to these little beggars, even rubbing their hair without complaining about their dirtiness.
The two children ran away with the steamed buns, looking back as they ran.
"My benefactor, you are so kind-hearted." Shen Yichen's eyes turned red again. His benefactor was not only of heavenly appearance, but also had a heart like a fairy, saving all living beings.
Anyway, in Shen Yichen's eyes, benefactors are the best.
"You still have some money on you, go buy some dry food that can be stored. I'll go buy a horse, and you can ride with me." After giving the instructions, Lin Xuxi immediately set out to find a place to buy a horse.
Shen Yichen became infatuated again and murmured to himself, "My benefactor is really decisive and efficient." The cold wind like a knife blew on his face, and he sobered up a little and immediately went to buy some dry food.
Lin Xuxi summoned the Black Python in a deserted place, patted it on the head, and whispered, "Can it turn into a horse?"
The black python had always been in her sea of consciousness, and now it was connected to her mind. It flicked its tongue and immediately knew what its master wanted. After a gust of black wind, a black horse appeared before her.
"Very clever." Lin Xuxi patted Baoju's head in praise and said softly, "Now that you're coming with me to the human world, you must never reveal your true identity, understand?"
Baoju exhaled through his nostrils and nodded to show that he understood.
Lin Xuxi nodded with satisfaction, touched the horse's head, and said with a smile: "Now your name is Xuanyun." After that, he jumped on the horse and rode out of the alley.
Xuanyun was so dazzling that even an outsider could tell that this horse was extraordinary. How could it be led out from an unknown alley like this?
Then I looked at the woman on the horse, her crimson dress complementing the white. She was such a beauty, truly stunning. I had never seen such a beauty in such a small place before. I was mesmerized for a moment.
Shen Yichen stood in the snow, holding his newly bought rations. There were sesame cakes, steamed buns, and some small, long-lasting oranges. The wind chilled him so much that he kept stamping his feet.
Hearing the sound of horse hooves, Shen Yichen looked up at a place not far away.
The black horse, red clothes and white snow trapped everyone in place.
Shen Yichen stared intently at the approaching figure. For a moment, he couldn't tell where he was. Even the knife in the wind and snow didn't feel cold.
Lin Xuxi pulled the reins, and the horse's front hooves rose and fell, stopping right beside Shen Yichen.
"Come up." Lin Xuxi stretched out her hand towards him.
But Shen Yichen still didn't react, staring blankly at the person in front of him. He forgot to reach out, and also forgot what the other person was here for.
"Shen Yichen!" Lin Xuxi was getting a little impatient.
"well!"
Shen Yichen nodded quickly and reached out to shake his benefactor's hand. His hand was dry, warm, and soft, something a poor man like him could never compare to.
Lin Xuxi pulled the man onto the horse, wrapped him in an apricot-colored cloak with auspicious cloud patterns, turned around and said, "Let's set off." After saying that, he kicked the horse's belly and the horse ran away quickly.
The moment Shen Yichen, who was covered in a cloak, saw his horse start to run, he also fell backwards due to inertia. He then grabbed his benefactor's clothes tightly, but the horse was running too fast, and he felt like vomiting and kept falling backwards.
"Benefactor." Shen Yichen couldn't help himself and asked, "Can I take the liberty of grabbing your clothes? I've never ridden a horse before and I'm about to fall."
"Okay." Lin Xuxi nodded, and the horse ran faster. After nodding, she rode with one hand and reached behind with her left hand to grab Shen Yichen's hand and press it to her waist.
Signaling that he could hold it.
When Shen Yichen's hand was grabbed, his face immediately turned red like a cooked shrimp. He murmured softly, "Benefactor, I'm sorry." After saying this to himself, he put his hands around the other's slender waist.
This way you don't have to worry about bumps.
They ran out of the county town, braving the cold wind for the entire morning, and didn't see the sun until noon. Only then did Lin Xuxi slow down a little, turned around and asked, "Are you hungry?"
"I, I'm not hungry." Shen Yichen hugged his benefactor's waist tightly and whispered, "It's not cold either. Are you feeling tired? We can take a rest."
"it is good."
Lin Xuxi signaled the other party to dismount and then dismounted himself. He tied Xuanyun to a tree and sat on a rock with everyone else, and began to distribute dry food.
"My benefactor, please eat an orange to moisten your throat first." Shen Yichen opened the bundle, but did not take it immediately. He picked out a sesame seed cake that was not too cold and an orange. He handed it to him and asked, "My benefactor, do you want to eat it first? These two are not cold. I am holding them in my arms and they are still good."
"Thank you." Lin Xuxi took the pancake and started eating it in small bites.
Compared to Lin Xuxi's elegance, Shen Yichen eats in a bold manner.
When Lin Xuxi finished one, he had already finished three, and he was still not satisfied, so he ate an orange to go down his throat.
It was normal for a growing boy to eat a lot. Lin Xuxi stood up and said, "We need to hurry. We don't know how far the next town is. We need to hurry, otherwise we'll have to sleep on the streets tonight."
"Okay, okay!" Shen Yichen quickly stood up, brushed off the debris on his body, and then got on the horse.
This time, he consciously hugged his benefactor's waist tightly, but the blush on his face still couldn't fade. According to his pedantic and sour Confucian thinking, after such intimacy, the two must be married.
However, he was just a homeless beggar, while his benefactor was well-dressed. If he brought up this matter, he was afraid that his benefactor would misunderstand him as trying to climb the social ladder.
