Chapter 212 Arrival in Shangdu City
Chapter 212 Arrival in Shangdu City
"Are you really sure no one will recognize you?" Su Yue's tone softened slightly, as if she was starting to be tempted.
After all, the opportunity to visit the Imperial Preceptor's Hall was quite appealing to her.
This was the first time she had ever heard of a place with magical powers since she came to this world.
Moreover, revenge wouldn't be too difficult for her; she could easily take care of it with a little trickery, like poisoning someone.
Thinking about this, Su Yue couldn't help but start making plans.
"I agree to this!" However, she immediately changed the subject and said, "But you have to stay by my side the whole time."
And also, from today onwards, you must wear women's clothing every time you go out!
After saying this, Su Yue couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. This arrangement was definitely not for revenge.
Actually, doing this is also to make plans for my future.
This also prevented Gu Yuan from being hunted down, so after careful consideration, Su Yue came up with this brilliant idea.
Upon hearing these words, Gu Yuan, who was lying to the side, nodded without hesitation and replied, "Alright! As long as it can avenge my mother, I would be willing to wear women's clothes for the rest of my life!"
At this moment, Gu Yuan's eyes were burning with raging anger, as if he could already see the moment when his great revenge would be fulfilled.
When Su Yue arrived at the city gate again, she reached into her bag and found the warm, smooth jade pendant.
Upon seeing this, the guards guarding the city quickly stepped forward and examined the jade pendant in their hands with wide eyes for a while.
His expression showed some surprise, but he quickly regained his composure and carefully handed the jade pendant back to Su Yue with both hands.
The guard's face was full of fawning smiles as he bowed and scraped to Su Yue with utmost respect.
Then, he personally escorted Su Yue into the city, a stark contrast to his arrogant attitude when he had previously tried to stop her.
At this moment, Su Yue was sitting leisurely on a simple cart, constantly playing with the jade pendant in her hand.
He muttered to himself, "Hey, you know what, this little thing is really useful! Dali, let's go to that clothing store and change into some clothes. If we're going to pretend, we have to make sure we look decent from the start."
Before long, the three of them arrived at the clothing shop that Su Yue had pointed out.
After entering the store, Su Yue began to carefully select clothes that suited her.
After careful selection, she finally chose three sets of men's clothing.
After putting on her new clothes, Su Yue transformed into a handsome and elegant young man.
Not only that, her original hairstyle of two big braids was now combed up high, and she wore a glittering gold hair crown and held an exquisite folding fan in her hand, making her look very heroic.
Meanwhile, Dali had also changed into a brand new set of black clothes, and his long, shiny black hair was neatly tied up on top of his head, making him look clean and tidy.
Seeing Dali's completely transformed appearance, Su Yue's eyes lit up, and she immediately praised, "Wow, my Dali is so handsome!"
Due to the severity of his injuries, Gu Yuan lay quietly on the dilapidated cart, listening to the bustling street.
As the two men walked out of the clothing shop, he endured the excruciating pain in his body, struggled to lift his head, and his gaze fell on one of them.
I couldn't help but sigh to myself, good-looking people are always stunning, whether they are dressed as men or women.
At this moment, Su Yue walked to the cart, looked at Gu Yuan with concern, and asked, "Should we set off immediately, or wait until your injuries have improved a bit before we leave?"
"After all, you've always lived a life of luxury, and I'm worried that you won't be able to handle living a life of hardship all the time." She was still somewhat worried.
Gu Yuan gritted his teeth and replied firmly, "Let's set off immediately! Every moment of delay could increase the danger. It's safer to get to Shangdu as soon as possible."
He knew the situation was urgent and there was no time to lose; otherwise, he didn't know if the wicked woman would send assassins if she didn't receive any news.
"Alright, let's go!" With a cheerful shout, Su Yue and Dali lightly jumped onto the cart.
The wheels turned slowly, and the vehicle began to sway and move forward, gradually driving out of the city gate.
Su Yue was completely unfamiliar with this capital city.
When she first entered the city, she was filled with curiosity, as if she had entered a completely new world.
Every time she comes here, she excitedly drags Dali around to stroll, sample all kinds of delicious food, and buy all sorts of novelties.
The dazzling array of shops lining both sides of the street, the bustling crowds, and the constant calls of vendors filled her with a sense of novelty and excitement.
However, as they passed through more and more towns, the cart became increasingly piled with goods.
The once spacious area became narrow and crowded, and even Gu Yuan was affected.
At first, he was able to lie comfortably on the cart to recover from his injury, but as the amount of stuff kept increasing...
He had to change from a semi-reclining position to a sitting position, and eventually he couldn't even sit still, and was almost forced to get out of the car and walk.
This mule cart has been traveling on the road for more than twenty days.
During this time, thanks to the spiritual spring water, Gu Yuan's injuries recovered quite well.
Now, apart from having a slight limp when he walks, he only has a shallow scar on his face.
To avoid being discovered upon arrival in Shangdu, Gu Yuan specially changed into women's clothing and wore a veil beforehand.
From a distance, he looked like a pure and beautiful woman.
However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that this "beauty" is actually lame when he quickens his pace.
"In a few more days, we should be able to reach Shangdu." Gu Yuan turned to look at Su Yue, who was half-lying in Dali's arms, and said softly.
"Really! I've been traveling these past few days and my back is almost broken. I can finally rest for a few days once we get to Shangdu." Su Yue sat up happily.
In the blink of an eye, seven days had quietly passed.
"We should reach our destination in about half a day. Do you think we should enter the city now, or wait until tomorrow morning?" Gu Yuan asked softly.
At this moment, he had transformed into a devoted maidservant serving Su Yue.
The position of Gu Yuan's page was replaced by Dali.
Faced with this question, Su Yue was also a little undecided for a moment. She hesitated for a moment, and then asked in return, "What do you think?"
After a moment's thought, Gu Yuan said, "In my opinion, it would be more appropriate to enter the city tomorrow."
After all, it was impossible to hide our whereabouts along the way. Every time we passed through a town with that jade pendant, the Gu family knew everything.
Strangely, however, the wicked woman did not send anyone to intercept them.
She must be secretly plotting something nefarious in her mansion, just waiting for me to walk right into her trap!
At this point, a strong killing intent flashed in Gu Yuan's eyes.
