Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 348 Trip to the Imperial City

"Where to go next?" After eating her fill, Ji Anni began to think about her future destination.

Long Mohan looked around in annoyance, thought for a moment and said, "It's too dangerous to stay in the woods. Let's go to the imperial city first."

Sitting on the tree, I could vaguely see the rebels walking in the woods. Fortunately, there were no rebels on the road leading to the imperial city. If I wanted to sneak out of the woods, now was the best time.

Long Mohan turned around and asked Ji Anni: "Can you get down from the tree? I'll carry you on my back after you get down from the tree."

Ji Annie nodded. At this moment, she really hated herself for being injured and causing so much trouble to Long Mohan.

The Cang Gui, which had been with them all the time, seemed to see that they were planning to get down from the tree, and circled in the air, humming low.

Ji Anni pointed at the Cang Gui and said to Long Mohan, "Look, it wants to make up for its mistake and is eager to lead us out of the woods."

For some reason, the communication barrier between Ji Anni and Cang Gui was getting smaller and smaller. As long as she listened to Cang Gui's calls and watched him fly a few circles, she could guess what Cang Gui wanted to do.

Long Mohan nodded and said, "That's fine. As long as it leads the way, we won't have to worry about encountering rebels along the way."

After they slid down the tree trunk one after another, Long Mohan carried Ji Annie on his back, and under the guidance of Cang Gui, the two people and the bird headed towards the direction of the imperial city.

The journey was very quiet, and even the footsteps of the rebels were not heard. It seemed that Cang Gui was indeed a clever eagle and chose the safest path.

They walked and rested for more than half an hour before finally seeing the gate of the imperial city.

Due to the rebellion, all the guards who used to guard the city gates were transferred to protect the imperial palace, so entering and leaving the city gates was very free.

It was still early and there were not many people in the imperial city. Besides, everyone had heard the news that the rebels had surrounded the imperial palace, so they all stayed indoors to avoid getting into trouble.

Long Mohan and Ji Anni took off their gorgeous outer clothes last night, and now they were only wearing a few thin white shirts. They were beautiful and handsome, and they were the focus of everyone's attention wherever they went. In order not to attract attention, Ji Anni messed up her hair. When she was about to mess up Long Mohan's hair, Long Mohan dodged and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"This way we can pretend to be refugees. Otherwise, what will we do if we are caught by the rebels?"

"If you pretend to be a refugee, who will let us stay in the hotel?" Long Mohan temporarily put Ji Anni down from his back, and the two of them leaned against the wall to discuss where to go.

Ji Anni thought about it and realized that if they looked too embarrassed and had no money, which inn would let them stay? Even if they were dressed in fancy clothes, the fact that they had no money could not be changed. Just when Ji Anni and Long Mohan were worried, the Cang Gui flying low with them shouted twice as if to emphasize its presence.

"What's wrong?" Ji Annie just turned around and saw a cloud of white smoke coming out of Cang Gui's body. After the smoke dissipated, a light piece of paper floated into her hand.

"Cang, Cang ghost?" Ji Anni was shocked. How could an eagle suddenly turn into a piece of paper?

She took the strange piece of paper and looked at it over and over again, as if trying to find the Cang Gui from the paper.

Long Mohan was much calmer than Ji Anni. Born and raised in the Tianyou Holy Dynasty, he was no longer surprised by the various changes of Shikigami. He stared at the paper in Ji Anni's hand and whispered, "This, this is..."

"Could it be a talisman?" Ji Anni had seen Yun Zhen use talismans to summon Shikigami, so she thought in reverse and thought that the Cang Gui had run out of energy and turned back into a talisman.

"This is not a spell, this... This is probably a banknote." Long Mohan snatched the strange paper from Ji Anni's hand and looked at it carefully several times. He was born in the palace and had few opportunities to use money. In addition, he had lived in Qi for a long time, so he had not seen the banknotes of the Tianyou Dynasty for a long time. When they met suddenly today, they were so different that they could hardly recognize each other.

"Hoohoo..." At this moment, the silver note suddenly jumped into the air, making a strange sound. Perhaps Cang Gui couldn't stand Ji Anni and Long Mohan, two idiots who didn't even know the silver note, and was losing his temper.

"Haha, it turns out to be a banknote. This is very convenient." Ji Anni pulled the banknote down from mid-air and held it in her palm. Suddenly, she felt like "With money in hand, everything is worry-free."

Ji Anni praised Cang Gui and said, "Haha, you are really amazing. This is really a great help."

"Well, let's find a place to stay while there aren't many people on the street." Long Mohan looked around, fearing that others would treat him as a suspicious person and pay extra attention to him.

Ji Anni folded the banknote several times and stuffed it into Long Mohan's belt, saying, "Brother, you are the boss outside. Now all our belongings are in your care, so don't lose them."

Long Mohan was amused by her serious expression. He patted the banknotes in his belt and said, "It won't fall off. If it does, it will fly back on its own."

Ji Anni thought about it and laughed, "Yes, yes, even if the flowers are spent, they can fly back. This is really convenient."

Thanks to Cang Gui and Yun Zhen, otherwise the two of them would have to live on the streets.

They quickly found an inn, and Long Mohan lied that he and Ji Anni came to the capital from other places to visit relatives, but were robbed by bandits on the way, and all their belongings including clothes were taken away. Fortunately, he had secretly sewed a silver note into his underwear in advance, so he did not become a beggar.

As long as the inn waiter knew that they had money and could afford the room rent, he kindly and considerately opened a cheap room for them to stay in and asked them if they needed clothes or breakfast.

The silver note that the Cang Gui turned into was enough to exchange for half of their store. No wonder the waiter's expression and attitude were so good.

However, Ji Annie felt guilty about using "counterfeit money" and did not dare to make excessive demands. She just asked the waiter to prepare two sets of ordinary clothes for a man and a woman and two buns.

The waiter said, "Please wait a moment, sir. It will be ready and served to you soon," and then closed the door and left.

At this time, Ji Anni, who was exhausted, lay down on the bed and let out a long sigh of relaxation.

"Finally, I have a place to rest. This place is much better than the haunted house last night." Ji Annie hugged the warm and soft pillow and rolled around on the bed.

"We can't let our guard down yet, the Imperial City is in chaos." Long Mohan always worries about the world first, frowning all day long, and never seems to smile. There is always a lot of worry locked between his brows, and when Tony Leung Chiu Wai sees him, he will feel inferior to him and admit he is better than him.

"After you eat the buns and change your clothes, I'll go to the city with you to ask around." Ji Anni also wanted to know the latest news from the palace as soon as possible. Although she and Long Mohan were safe now, the situation of Princess Tianning, Kang Xiaorong, Shui Furong and many other people was still a mystery.

"I'll go ask around. You should stop wandering around and take good care of your injured leg."

If Long Mohan hadn't reminded her, Ji Anni would have almost forgotten that she was injured and had difficulty walking.

Alas, I clearly wanted to do something big after leaving the palace, but now I am like a sick dog. I can't run fast, and I can't bark. I can only worry anxiously.

"Actually, this minor injury is not a big deal. I'll go with you on crutches." Ji Anni is the kind of person who can't be locked up in the room and always wants to run outside.

"You must always remember that you are using Soji's body. Don't damage Soji's legs and feet."

"Okay, okay, anyway, Zhao Ji is a treasure and I am a weed. You only know how to feel sorry for Zhao Ji." Ji Anni was a little jealous.

Long Mohan suddenly walked to the bed and sat down, straightened Ji Anni's injured right leg and placed it on his knee.

"Wow, what do you want to do?" Ji Anni was pulled back by him and almost rolled off the bed.

"Let me check your wound to see if it's serious." Long Mohan said as he took off Ji Annie's socks.

The socks rubbed against the wound, causing Ji Anni to scream "ouch ouch" in pain.

"Does it still hurt?" Long Mohan slowed down his movements.

"Of course it hurts. Why don't you try it?" Ji Anni looked at the blue and red wounds on her body. The pain spread from her toes to her scalp.

"Of course I want to feel your pain, and transfer all your wounds to me." Long Mohan threw Ji Anni's socks aside and pressed his thumb near her wounds. Seeing Zhao Ji's body bruised and purple by Ji Anni, he felt as if he was being whipped. He would rather be hurt than see Zhao Ji lose a hair.

"Ouch, ouch, it hurts." Ji Anni grimaced in pain and almost wanted to bite the pillow.

Long Mohan examined it like an expert and concluded, "Fortunately, the bones are not injured. It's just some flesh wounds. Apply some medicine and rest for a few days, and it will heal soon."

After that, he stood up and walked to the door. When he reached the door, he said, "I'll ask the waiter to find some medicine. You can rest here first."

"Oh, okay." Ji Anni was most obedient when she was injured. She nodded obediently to whatever Long Mohan said.

As soon as the door opened, the waiter came up to deliver the buns. Seeing that Long Mohan was about to leave, he hurriedly asked, "Sir, are you going out?"

Long Mohan said, "I was just about to ask if you have any medicine for injuries in your store. My sister's foot is injured and I want to apply some medicine to her."

"Yes, yes, yes. I'll get it for you right away." The waiter took a look at Ji Annie's foot injury and immediately knew what medicine to get without Long Mohan saying anything.

"Thank you for your help." Long Mohan nodded and thanked him.

The waiter added, "Bandits are rampant recently. Next time you go into the city, you should hire a escort team. That way you will be much safer."
