Chapter 31 ~ Mirai's Saesang

Probably seeing my face was too bad, Wu Min Jun smiled and said: "Okay, I know you may not understand what I am talking about, don't think about it so you don't get a headache."

"..." I yelled at him, "Talk less!"

Then I held my head and looked at him: "You, how did you think of this? Knowing to use an association to a woman, and even thinking up the possible outcomes of the situation and giving countermeasures... guessing so accurately... ...you are too scary..."

Wu Min Jun lightly said: "Really? I randomly thought about it."

I:"..."

Wu Min Jun: "But all the guesses were right. This time, Bei country will lose its vanguard, It is bound to be badly hurt. The Bei Emperor is not good, he must have been mad at the time. It is best for him to be mad. Hahahaha~"

I:"..."

Who is?!!!

Wu Min Jun was usually always with me, and occasionally told me to privately pass letters to others, the rest of the time we spent reading the memorials and changing them, quarreling with me, every time with a leisurely and annoying expression on his face, I never knew that what I thought was just a "send a letter" was actually so frightening, involving the life and death of tens of thousands of people, the direction of two countries, and even the entire four countries...

He quietly decides all this while smiling all day.

I suddenly felt a little chilly.

Wu Min Jun did not realize anything and continued sipping his tea and humming softly.

After a while, Wu Min Jun suddenly looked back at me: "Yun Jiao, tomorrow's a break, you don't have to go to Court, should we go out to play?"

I was still stuck in my own thoughts. He suddenly said this, I perked up: "Ah? Go out to play? Play what?"

Wu Min Jun: "I don't know, just play..."

Me: "...Why do you suddenly want to play?"

Wu Min Jun slumped down on his chair and stretched out: "Nothing, but if the war begins, it will be busy."

"Not just 'busy', saying it so simple..." I murmured.

However, to put it bluntly, in the beginning, Wu Min Jun must have also used this lazy and leisurely attitude to push the Dong country step by step until we had nowhere left to go...

I touched my neck and said, "Oh... well, but I only spent two or three days outside in Xi country. I don't really know my way around."

**(she's referring to her time in the city before entering the palace for her assassination attempt)**

Wu Min Jun lightly said: "I have not gone out before either."

I:"..."

Wu Min Jun smiled and said: "But it doesn't matter, anyway, we'll just stroll around."

I thought about it and thought that it was ok. Anyway, If we get lost, we can always use our qingqong skills to fly to a high place to look around in the distance, we'll find our way back to the palace.

In addition, I nodded at Wu Min Jun as I said: "Hm, anyway, the Imperial Palace is... very boring."

***

The next day, Wu Min Jun and I were ready to go, dressing in commoners' clothing, we went out casually, bypassed the guards, and quietly left the palace.

Xi country was far more prosperous than Dong country. The crowds on the street were bustling, the streets were bustling with commerce, with shouts of the vendors calling out to customers one after another. I probed my brain and looked around. I was silently reminding myself: "Do not lose face."

I suspected: "Hm? Oh, it seems they don't recognize me."

Wu Min Jun quietly said: "Yes, you can see, everyone is secretly paying attention to you."

When I saw it, it turned out that many people put their hands on their waists and watched me carefully, and they looked even a little alert.

I was shocked and nervously said: "What is going on?... Is the disguise not good enough this time?"

Wu Min Jun glanced at me: "No, it's because you are sneaky, you look like a thief."

"..."

I could only walk straight ahead.

However, I found that there was a kind of noodles in Xi country that we did not have in the Dong country. It was called Changyang Noodles. It was a bowl of ordinary noodles, plus a very special egg - the egg is fried, the protein evenly distributed, with the golden egg-yolk, looking like the round sun on long summer days, therefore this name.

I was hesitant: "I don't know if I can."

Wu Min Jun said: "They don't make it in the Palace... because it is said to easily cause diarrhea."

I said: "Really? Your body is so strong, it should be okay." Then I walked into a roadside noodle restaurant and ordered a bowl of Changyang noodles.

Wu Min Jun: "..."

After a while, he said: "Come, bring another bowl of Changyang!"

The store owner rejoiced.

I quickly said: "No, just one bowl!"

"..." The store owner looked at me with hateful eyes.

Wu Min Jun: "Why?"

I said, "My body is weak, what if I have a stomachache?"

Wu Min Jun sneered: "Shopkeeper, another bowl!"

I:"..."

Forget it, let him be...

After a while, the store owner came up with three bowls of fragrant Changyang noodles, Wu Min Jun and I: "..."

"How come it's three bowls?" I didn't understand, How do they make money if they offer free stuff?!

The store owner said: "You ordered three bowls."

"We ordered two bowls." I patiently explained, "I have a bowl, she has a bowl."

The owner of the store said: "No, you have a bowl, but the girl ordered a bowl first, then you ordered another bowl... Isn't it two bowls?"

Wu Min Jun and I: "..."

The store owner was a good businessman...

"Haha, thank you!" Suddenly, a small girl sat in front of the extra bowl of Changyang.

... it was Situ Youqing.

**(the little girl they met in Dong country, who predicted Changyi's bloody disaster)**

Wu Min Jun and I kept quiet "..." looking at Situ Youqing and the little bun that seemed to have become a little fat on her shoulders.

The little bun saw us looking at it and shyly extended its short hands to cover the excess fat on its waist.

I:"..."

Situ Youqing did not realize that we were speechless, but then became angry with the store owner: "Why did you put onions? I said not to put onions!"

Shop owner: "..."

"Hey, little girl, you just came in, when did you tell me not to put onions?!" The store owner bitterly replied, sizing her up, thinking she was probably looking for a job.

Situ Youqing carefully counted her fingers and said: "One month ago!"

Then she looked at me: "Didn't I say it? Right, I told you!"

I suddenly thought of it. She really said something like "I don't eat onions"...

I couldn't help but be a bit surprised. Situ Youqing seems to have divine powers, and it turns out to be so spiritual...

I told the shopkeeper to bring a bowl without onions, and he brought it and put it down, so I asked Situ Youqing, who was finally satisfied: "You guessed that we would come here to eat noodles?"

Situ nodded and said, "Yeah."

I admired her: "You're good."

Situ Youqing while eating, said: "In fact, it is not that, but I knew that we will meet in Xi country and the best thing to eat in Xi country is noodles, so I thought mentioning it in advance will be better."

"...oh." I looked down, picked up the chopsticks, and ate.

I looked at Wu Min Jun, he had already been eating and did not care about me and Situ Qing.

I saw Situ had a sunny personality and asked her: "Are you still looking for your master?"

Situ Youqing unclearly said: "Found the bird, but I don't see the bird..."

Me: "Oh..."

I thought about it, and Situ had a real ability, so I whispered to her: "You say, if Bei and Xi countries fight, which side will win?"

Situ shook her head.

Me: "Don't know? This kind of war, it is hard to tell..."

Situ Youqing continued to shake her head.

Me: "It doesn't matter, you are already very good."

Situ continued swaying her head, and even the little bun swayed together.

I:"..."
