Chapter 3, Migratory Birds

Qin Sisi felt a bitter and astringent taste in her mouth after drinking tea, and Tang Cangyu's words seemed as vague and unclear as if they were coming from the horizon. Her attention was completely occupied by the scenery before her; where was this place?

It seems that this sudden change has indeed had a significant impact on him

Is that so? That's strange. Qin Sisi pouted in frustration. As she walked, she suddenly noticed that Tan Cangyu was missing. Turning back, she found him standing in the middle of the street, with his hands behind his back. "Hey, why aren't you moving?" Qin Sisi said irritably

Tan Cangyu could no longer bear to watch and walked over to untie the tight knot at her waist, retying it for her.

Qin Sisi felt a churn in her stomach and thought to herself that in addition to being motion sick from cars, boats, and planes, it seemed she had also discovered that she was motion sick from horses.

Qin Sisi felt the strength that supported her suddenly vanish, and before she could steady herself, a large robe fell from the sky and covered her head

Qin Sisi took the handkerchief, obediently wrapped her hair, and then followed him down the street. After a while, watching him walk leisurely, she could no longer hold back and asked, "Where are we going?" Weren't they being pursued? How could they have just escaped from the wilderness in such a manner, and now, upon arriving in town, have the leisure to stroll around? Moreover, she noticed that every woman they passed couldn't help but steal a few glances at him. How could they have just escaped from the wilderness in such a manner, and now, upon arriving in town, have the leisure to stroll around? Furthermore, every woman they passed couldn't help but take a few extra looks at him, then scrutinize her with a critical eye as she stood beside him. They were fugitives! With people "watching" them all the way, her heart couldn't take it!

"Let's go. But first, you need to cover your hair." Tan Cangyu took a square scarf from the bag on the horse and handed it to her. There was no time to deal with a wig; he at least needed to cover her striking short hair.

Tang Cangyu was not concerned and slowed her pace as well, "By the way, I still don't know your name."

"I have never been there," Tan Cangyu said lightly under Qin Sisi's disdainful gaze. "However, he has described his residence, so it should be possible to find it."

Tang Cangyu stood at the entrance of the alley, seemingly leisurely leaning against the wall, but in reality, he was vigilantly observing the situation outside. Although Shangzhou was not far from Chang'an, he surmised that that woman, Youfei, would not dare to openly capture His Highness the Crown Prince, so they easily passed through the city defenses and infiltrated Shangzhou City. After observing for a while, he turned back to see the woman still expressing herself, and he frowned, saying: "Stop vomiting; no matter how much you vomit, you won't expel the poison. The 'migratory bird' dissolves upon entering water and enters the body upon reaching the throat; don't think you can get it out." He observed for a while, then turned back to see the woman still expressing herself, and he frowned, saying: "Stop vomiting; no matter how much you vomit, you won't expel the poison. The 'migratory bird' dissolves upon entering water and enters the body upon reaching the throat; don't think you can get it out."

Tang Cangyu smiled slightly and pointed to the house next door, saying: "Because we have arrived."

Tang Cangyu was momentarily taken aback, then said nonchalantly, "What wooden box? I didn't see anything." At the time she was discovered, she was indeed holding a finely crafted wooden box. However, since the idea of having her replace Princess Ya had been set in motion, he had to erase all evidence related to her.

I am going to a friend's house," Tan Cangyu replied with a smile, "but it has been quite a while, so I can't quite remember where he lives.

"Put it on, speed up," Tan Cangyu said succinctly and clearly

Therefore, that box had long been reduced to powder by a single strike from the honeysuckle.

"Your Excellency, the pursuing troops are not far behind us. Please depart at once." A man in black attire swiftly emerged from beside the door and knelt on one knee.

Tang Cangyu was satisfied to hear the sound of the woman collapsing to the ground. He slowly rose and approached her from behind, softly saying: "This poison is called 'Migratory Bird', which means that the person who ingests it must return to the original place to receive the antidote at regular intervals, just like migratory birds. The amount of poison I just placed in your teacup is enough for one month's time"

Tang Cangyu was not aware of the complex thoughts of this little woman; he was merely surprised that, in the face of the imminent crisis of pursuing soldiers, he could still leisurely tie her clothing belt. Moreover, he had never provided such service to anyone else in his life, not even to Princess He Ya.

Understood. Rindong, you take care of His Highness the Crown Prince and leave first. This place is not far from Shangzhou; we will meet there." Tan Cangyu quickly responded, and the man named Rindong swiftly sprang up from the ground, rushed into the house, grabbed Xiao Run, and rode away.

Unexpectedly, Tan Cangyu did not say much, only nodding and saying: "This name is good, let it serve as Princess Ya's alias."

Upon hearing this, Qin Sisi straightened her back and casually wiped her mouth with the sleeve of her robe. If only she had been told earlier! Had she known, she would not have exerted so much effort in cultivating her feelings.

Forget it, she has no interest in any dynasty. Qin Sisi began to try hard to recall what she had done before arriving in this inexplicable world. She only remembered picking up a wooden box from the ground. Could this wooden box be the key? "Hey, when you discovered me, did you happen to find a wooden box?"

Tang Cangyu turned and entered the room, picking up the long hair from the ground and stuffing it into a cloth bag, which he then placed in his bosom. He then removed all signs that someone had been in the room, and threw the teacup into the grass outside. After surveying the area and finding no flaws, he walked over to Qin Sisi and helped her up.

Qin Sisi also felt a bit cold in her short-sleeved T-shirt, so she carelessly draped a robe over herself, instantly feeling much warmer

Thank you. Qin Sisi lowered her head, watching the man's long fingers deftly tie the belt around her waist, and she involuntarily expressed her gratitude. However, as soon as the words left her mouth, she regretted it immensely. This man had poisoned her, and she actually thanked him? Qin Sisi was nearly infuriated to the point of spitting blood

Is it true that you are afraid she might run away? With Tan Cangyu's assistance, Qin Sisi mounted the horse. Before she could get accustomed to the feeling of riding, Tan Cangyu, sitting behind her, had already flicked the reins. The steed let out a low neigh and began to gallop.

"Ugh—" Qin Sisi leaned against the wall, expressing her feelings for a while before finally regaining her composure. When she saw the authentic ancient city wall, all her remaining hope was completely extinguished. It turned out that she had truly traveled through time and ended up in the most tragic situation. She was being hunted and had also been poisoned. "Ugh—"

As her body, soft as if without bones, entered his embrace, Tan Cangyu's figure visibly stiffened. It was at this moment that he realized the woman was wearing a sleeveless garment, and his hand was gripping her smooth, bare arm. ... Her lower body was also clad in peculiar attire, a layer of indescribable fabric tightly wrapping around her long legs, outlining curves that made one's face flush and heart race ...

What a pseudonym! This person is truly rude. Qin Sisi muttered a few words in her heart and shot him several disdainful glances. If it is not the Zhou Dynasty, then which dynasty has she arrived in? Observing the customs and practices of the people on the street, it resembles the Tang Dynasty period. Zhou Dynasty? Zhou? Could it possibly be the Great Zhou Dynasty of Empress Wu Zetian? Qin Sisi curled her lips and immediately dismissed this idea. At least in her understanding, there was not a single member of the royal family of that Zhou Dynasty with the surname Xiao.

At least in her understanding, there was not a single member of the royal family of that Zhou Dynasty with the surname Xiao.

"Have you been there?" Qin Sisi looked at him suspiciously from the side. In fact, what she wanted to ask more was how much farther it was. Her waist was almost giving out, and she really wanted to sit down and rest at the snack shop by the street. However, it was clear that she had no money to pay, so she could only look at him with longing.

Oh... Qin Sisi slowed her pace, effectively moving forward as she walked

"Qin Sisi. Qin from the Qin Dynasty, Si from thought." Qin Sisi said reluctantly. After speaking, she suddenly remembered that she had heard the Crown Prince mention something about the Great Zhou Dynasty. Could it be that she had traveled back to the Great Zhou Dynasty before the Qin Dynasty?

With a silent sigh, Tan Cangyu led the horse over and asked in an affirmative tone: "You cannot ride a horse, can you? Just now, Rindong and Xiao Run each rode off on a horse, and Princess Ya's mount also followed its owner. Therefore, we have no choice but to share one horse between the two of us"

Qin Sisi still could not understand why she had come here. Tan Cangyu pulled her arm, and she naturally stood up with his strength, then leaned over towards him.
