Chapter 139 Turning back
This is the kind of person she wants.
"This transaction is worth fifty taels of silver. All you have to do is ride your horse towards Qinghe City. I have only one request, that you go as fast as possible! If you fail to do so, you may not earn the fifty taels, and you may even lose your life. Are you going?"
Shen Jiayu did not lie to him and explained the consequences to him clearly. If he was unwilling, he could just find another one.
Unexpectedly, when this person heard that he could earn fifty taels by going to Qinghe City, his eyes lit up!
"Go! It's just a trip to Qinghe City. Although I have never been to Qinghe City, I have been to nearby cities. Don't worry, it will be quick! If I really die, let me reincarnate."
He was open-minded and knew that he was born into a lowly horse trainer family and anyone could step on him.
There is no work anyway, and I can't earn more than one tael of silver in the whole year. This trip can earn fifty taels.
There is no need to send any letters. Just go to Qinghe City once and treat it as a trip. It will be worth it if you really die.
Shen Jiayu's eyes flickered slightly, and she felt a little touched. First, she was attracted by the fact that the other party's figure was very similar to hers, and second, she was attracted by the fact that the other party was from a poor family. If she tempted the other party with a generous reward, the other party would definitely agree.
But he was so open-minded that Shen Jiayu felt a little bit sorry for him.
If her instincts were right, he would probably die on the way.
"Well, since you're so forthcoming, here's a hundred taels! I'll give it all to you. If the horse dies on the way, you can get a new one, the fastest one. What's your name?"
Shen Jiayu was also unambiguous. She couldn't die here either. Since this man was willing to go, she would give him more silver.
If he is lucky enough to escape this disaster, he can live a stable life.
The man's face was immediately filled with joy as he took the bundle and the silver. "My name is Sun Ah Fu!"
"Come with me, and you have to change into my clothes. They must be similar to what I wear." Shen Jiayu immediately took Sun Afu to the inn.
The two exchanged their outfits.
When she went out, she just tied her hair into a ponytail for convenience, and it was easier for her to comb her hair.
Her face was covered only by a white veil, and it was impossible to recognize her without seeing her front face.
When the two went out again, their identities had changed.
Sun Afu immediately mounted his horse and set off for Qinghe City in a good mood.
Shen Jiayu did not rush back to Kyoto, but went to another inn and washed his body carefully.
Then he put on Sun Afu's clothes and went to sleep in the stable for the night.
After making sure that there was no trace of the original incense on his body, he walked back with peace of mind.
She was not sure whether her plan would succeed, but she always felt that there was something wrong with the package Song Yuanbai gave her, so she would just prepare these things herself.
He was so kind to suddenly prepare a bag for her that it was impossible for her not to think too much.
The only thing Shen Jiayu could think of was that there must be some invisible, colorless and odorless precious spices on the bundle. Ordinary people could not smell them, but some animals could.
I ran all day and no one followed me.
If no one follows you, that's a good thing. But if someone follows you after two days, that would be bad.
Shen Jiayu thought about it and started to return to Kyoto. She learned a lot of ancient makeup techniques from Nianzhu. At this time, she had put on the makeup of a skinny poor person and followed the crowd who were going to Kyoto.
She hid herself very well along the way, at least much better than when she first arrived.
It only took one day to get here, and only one-third of the way was covered in one day on the return journey.
Shen Jiayu was resting under the shade of a tree with the main group. He moved his ears slightly and heard the sound of horses pedaling.
Someone was riding a horse at a fast speed, but for some reason the horse gradually slowed down and stopped completely when it got close to the main force.
The man on horseback looked them up and down, then looked away with contempt, reached out and touched his side pocket, as if he was comforting something.
Shen Jiayu raised his eyes and looked over there with the corner of his eye. There was another movement in the pocket that had been soothed, and then a snake head popped out of the pocket.
The snake's head was flat and inverted triangular in shape, with a dark red spot in the middle. It stared straight in the direction of Shen Jiayu and spit out its tongue.
The man didn't see this scene. He kicked the horse's belly and ran away.
Shen Jiayu's hair stood on end, her guess was correct.
Song Yuanbai had a backup plan. There must have been something smeared on the bag. She had only carried it for one day, took a shower, changed clothes, and even slept in the stable for a night, but the snake could still smell it.
If she had been more careless, she would probably be dead now.
Shen Jiayu prayed in his heart, Sun Afu, you must run faster and faster.
There was nothing she could do left. She had told Sun Afu all the pros and cons, and the rest depended on his fate.
After three days of slow journey with the large group heading to Kyoto, they finally arrived.
Shen Jiayu entered the city with Sun Afu's documents.
It would be easy for her to get the paperwork in the future. Fortunately, Sun Afu was still alive, so she could pay local officials to get it reissued for her. These were not a problem.
After entering the city, Shen Jiayu kept a low profile. She had to keep a low profile because all her money was given to Sun Afu.
She followed the large group back hungry and thirsty on the way, and now her only financial backer is Chao Yan.
Late at night, Shen Jiayu got up from the beggar's den and went to the mountains.
Fortunately, she remembered the way and found Chaoyan and Nukhadir after searching for a while. They were really fast and the house was already built after just a few days.
There are still two houses. Although they are small thatched huts that can only shelter from wind and rain, they can allow people to live in peace.
Shen Jiayu stood awkwardly in front of the little hut. What was going on with her? Sigh...
"Asagao... Asagao? Are you there?"
In order to get closer to her, she no longer calls her concubine. Right now the hero and heroine are arguing, and not calling her by that name will be better for everyone.
Chao Yan in the room obviously didn't think that someone would come at this time, and it was someone who knew her.
The voice sounds somewhat familiar.
Chao Yan slowly opened the door, poked his little head out, looked at the stinking, faceless person, and asked with a puzzled look, "Who are you?"
She firmly believed that there were no ghosts in the world and that the person in front of her was a human.
Shen Jiayu came here without even packing up. She quickly explained, "Shen Jiayu, haha."
"Ah?" Chao Yan exclaimed in confusion, her brows furrowed, she simply couldn't believe it.
Nukhadir, who was in another small hut, heard the noise and came out. When he heard what Shen Jiayu said, he stood up immediately.
"Don't listen to her! Chaoyan, she is a fake! Unless you fly to the tree and show me." Nukhadir raised his head and glared at Shen Jiayu.
He has been hearing Chao Yan talk about Shen Jiayu every day recently, and has some understanding of Shen Jiayu.
The person in front of me stinks and doesn't look like him at all. If he could fly up a tree, it would be somewhat believable.
When Shen Jiayu heard this, he immediately used his internal energy to jump onto the tree.
"It's really me!"
