A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 112 Missing each other

In order to avoid taking unnecessary risks and wasting time in Mo City, Li Yunye followed Yan Yu's advice and bypassed Mo City with Lao Zhou and Anyun. Although they were delayed for two more days, they finally arrived at the border of Jingsong State, Deng County, safely.

Early in the morning, a carriage stopped outside the inn. An Yun led the horse in front of the carriage. Although he was quiet and dull, his big eyes were particularly bright, and he was vigilantly scanning the passers-by.

"Master, please!"

Li Yunye, who was dressed as a servant like An Yun, walked out of the inn first. He winked at An Yun, raised his left hand, and smiled at Old Zhou who was walking slowly behind him.

Old Zhou was dressed in silk and satin embroidered with gorgeous gold thread, and two strings of exquisite jade ornaments hung on his glittering golden belt. The jade ornaments collided with each other and made a crisp and pleasant sound when he walked. His originally messy head was covered with a turban, and his stubble on his face was slightly trimmed. His figure was as tall as a pine tree, and his pace was so slow that Li Yunye couldn't help but laugh when he saw him.

For Li Yunye's safety, Lao Zhou proposed to exchange identities with Li Yunye and go to Xiyue Country to hide from others.

Old Zhou was used to being free and easy. This gorgeous dress was like a burden to him. It was very inconvenient. When he came to the carriage and was about to jump on, he was almost tripped by the hem of his skirt. He turned his head and saw Li Yunye covering his mouth and laughing. He couldn't help but feel embarrassed. But when he saw a few curious passers-by in the distance, he immediately turned his face down and scolded Li Yunye: "What are you still standing there for? Don't you know how to help your master? You are so stupid. I don't know what the purpose of buying you was in the first place."

Li Yunye saw that the coachman he hired not only wanted to play the role of his master, but also was rude to him. His face darkened and he was about to lose his temper, but when he saw Lao Zhou winking at him, he endured it and went forward respectfully to support Lao Zhou.

When Lao Zhou entered the carriage, Li Yunye followed him in immediately, but before he could sit down, Lao Zhou stopped him:

"You are a servant, how can you ride in the same carriage with the master?"

"It's okay. Ange and Anyun always sat with me in the room before." Li Yunye waved his hand indifferently. Just as he was about to sit down, he was pulled up by Lao Zhou:

"No, I am playing a ruthless rich businessman who treats his servants harshly and oppressively. How can I ride in a carriage with my servants? You and An Yun should sit outside!"

"Don't push your luck!" Li Yunye said to Lao Zhou angrily. He had just seen someone outside having to compromise, so why was he pretending with these two people at this moment?

"Young Master, we agreed that you have to follow my arrangements when you go to Xiyue Country." Although Old Zhou smiled helplessly, the strength in his hands did not weaken at all. He pushed Li Yunye out without any negotiation. Fortunately, An Yun supported Li Yun in time after he fell out.

"Hmph! When we get back I'll ask Brother Mu Liang to deduct half of your wages!" Li Yunye knew that Old Zhou was such a martial arts master that even An Yun was no match for him, not to mention that he was powerless. He could only speak harshly through the curtain. His face turned red from the anger he was holding back.

"Hehe, sir, don't forget that I, Old Zhou, always pay first and do the job later." But the people in the carriage did not take Li Yunye's threat seriously at all, and instead laughed.

"Young Master, Mr. Zhou is also concerned about your safety." An Yun, who had been driving silently beside them, became worried when he saw the two of them starting to make a fuss again. They were about to reach Mucheng, the border of Xiyue Kingdom. Young Master must not reveal his flaws because of his anger with Old Zhou.

"Let's see, An Yun is still clear-headed."

Old Zhou's words made An Yun's mouth twitch. Is Old Zhou just hoping for chaos in the world?

"An Yun, how can you stand on his side!" Sure enough, after being provoked by Lao Zhou, Li Yunye turned his resentment towards An Yun beside him.

"Master, Master Muliang has instructed..."

"I don't want to listen. How many instructions did Brother Mu Liang give you? How come you remember them so clearly?" An Yun had just started to speak when Li Yunye was so scared that he covered his ears and shook his head. An Yun read out Brother Mu Liang's instructions all the way without repeating himself. How could he not be scared?

An Yun didn't dare to say anything, but Lao Zhou covered his mouth and laughed with glee in the carriage.

Under Sanxiu's personal guidance, Si Yao's medical skills improved rapidly. She can now diagnose and treat minor illnesses and injuries on her own. Occasionally, when her master and fellow brothers are unable to leave, she can go out for follow-up visits.

On this day, Si Yao went out for a follow-up visit arranged by her master. Xiu Ming, as usual, asked Xiaolu, who was always steady and capable, to go with her.

April is the season of spring, with red flowers, green willows, clear water and green mountains. The world is full of flowers in April, and the green shade is all over the ground with plum blossoms. Although it is not yet 9 o'clock, the sun is shining brightly. Si Yao and Xiao Lu are both wearing veils and walking on the roadside in the suburbs. The warm wind is blowing, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. Si Yao is enjoying the spring scenery along the way and feels very comfortable. She glanced at Xiao Lu who was silent and asked worriedly:

"You haven't been talking much these past few days, not even talking to Guo Ying. What happened?"

"No, no, maybe I'm just feeling sleepy in the spring." Si Yao's sudden concern caught Xiaolu off guard. He quickly concealed the sadness on his face and smiled.

Xiaolu was indeed feeling depressed these days. His Highness had ignored him ever since he was assigned to Sanxiu Pharmacy. He didn't feel that way before when he was on a mission, but now that the mission was over, he had asked for help again and again but received no response from His Highness. He didn't dare to speculate on His Highness's thoughts, but being left out in the corner made him feel like an abandoned pawn.

"I'm a doctor. Can't I tell whether you're sleepy or not?" Si Yao shook her head, expressing helplessness at Xiaolu's explanation.

"Sister Siyao, I'm fine..."

Xiaolu forced a smile at Si Yao, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the noise of an approaching carriage.

The wheels raised dust, and Xiaolu hurriedly raised his sleeves to shield Si Yao from the dust. Sitting outside the carriage, Li Yunye, dressed as a servant, was almost exhausted from the day's bumpy ride. In addition, An Yun, the taciturn man, didn't chat with him, so he was bored and had to squint his eyes and doze off lazily. In this way, the two personalities were so close to each other but missed each other.

Si Yao suddenly felt her heart tighten. She raised her head and looked at the dust gradually dissipating, and the empty road became clear again, seeming thoughtful.

"Sister Si Yao, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Lu noticed that Si Yao looked unusual and asked hurriedly.

Si Yao said nothing, just shook her head, perhaps it was just an illusion.
