The Moon is Full in the Traveling House

Chapter 115 Arrival in Los Angeles

The visibility at night was not good, so the carriage's speed was slowed down. After about an hour, Su Lun asked Chen Jiajun to rest in the carriage, and he took over the driving of the carriage.

At this moment, Su Lun tried his best to get rid of all the distracting thoughts in his mind and focused on driving forward. When they arrived at Luocheng, the sky was still dark and the city gates had not yet been opened. Su Lun moved the carriage to the side of the road and then sat on the carriage to rest for a while.

At this moment, Wang Shen took the initiative to walk out of the carriage, took over the driver's seat, and motioned Su Lun to go in and rest. Su Lun felt extremely sleepy, so he did not refuse this kindness, quickly got on the carriage, and soon fell asleep.

It was just dawn and the city gates began to slowly open. Wang Shen drove his carriage to the city gate and joined the queue to enter the city.

As the carriage slowly moved forward, Su Lun gradually woke up. He stretched, gently rubbed his sore shoulders, and then walked outside the carriage and sat down. There was naturally no problem with the identity of the few people, and they passed the inspection smoothly and soon entered Luocheng.

After running all night, they were naturally exhausted. To be safe, Su Lun decided to find an inn to stay in and rest for two hours to get back to work.

There were no people they had arranged in advance in Luocheng. They came here mainly to see what the situation was like in the cities near the capital, and they did not have any specific tasks. Of course, if conditions permit, they could also consider buying or renting a small house here first, in case they might need it in the future. But this matter was not urgent, and they could deal with it after they arrived in Chujing. After all, it was not too far from here to Chujing, and if they rode fast, they could get there in half a day.

After sleeping for more than an hour, Su Lun felt that his physical strength had recovered a lot, so he got up, dressed, and prepared to go downstairs with Guo Guo. At the same time, Wang Shen and Chen Jiajun woke up almost at the same time and were about to go downstairs. As a result, they happened to meet at the stairs.

"How did you two sleep?" Su Lun raised his eyebrows and asked the two of them, "Should we act together or separately?"

"It will be too conspicuous if we walk together. How about we go separately and meet here in an hour?" Wang Shen suggested.

"No problem, see you in an hour." Su Lun agreed, then looked at Guo Guo and said gently: "Guo Guo, let's go, brother will take you shopping."

Su Lun finished speaking and took Guo Guo downstairs. Just like before, Su Lun took Guo Guo to look around, bought some snacks and clothes, and asked about the prices here. Although the prices here have also risen, it is still better than those places before, not so outrageous.

"Guoguo, is there anything else you want to eat? Brother will buy it for you." Su Lun asked Guoguo lovingly.

However, Guoguo did not answer him this time.

"Guoguo, Guoguo?" Su Lun turned back and called out twice in confusion, and found that Guoguo was staring blankly at one place, as if she didn't hear what he said.

Su Lun curiously followed Guo Guo's gaze and saw that she was looking at a little beggar not far away. The little beggar looked about the same age as Guo Guo, wearing ragged clothes, with a dirty face and messy hair. His eyes were covered by his hair and could not be seen clearly. At this moment, he was squatting on the ground with a broken bowl in front of him, and the bowl was empty.

Su Lun looked at Guo Guo, feeling a little distressed. He knew that Guo Guo was thinking about his past experiences. So he gently touched Guo Guo's head and said to him with a smile: "Let's go, let's buy some delicious food for that little brother."

As he spoke, Su Lun took Guo Guo to a nearby pastry shop, bought a few delicious meat buns, and then walked up to the little beggar.

"Little brother, this is for you." Guoguo handed the bun to the little beggar and said with a smile.

The little beggar raised his head in surprise, looking at the buns in Su Lun and Guo Guo's hands, his eyes full of gratitude. He quickly stretched out his hand to take the buns and whispered a thank you.

Guoguo saw the little beggar taking the bun and laughed happily. He felt that he had done a good deed and was very satisfied.

"You're welcome. Please eat quickly." Su Lun said gently.

The little beggar nodded and wolfed down the buns. Seeing him eating so happily, Guo Guo couldn't help laughing. Unfortunately, she had already caused a lot of trouble for Brother Su, so she didn't dare to ask to take this little brother back with her.

The two walked towards the inn together. Guo Guo suddenly stopped and bowed deeply to Su Lun solemnly: "Brother Su, thank you!"

Su Lun looked at her in confusion and asked, "Why is Guoguo so polite all of a sudden?"

Guoguo lowered her head, her voice filled with sadness: "If my brother hadn't picked me up, I might have ended up like that little brother just now... maybe I would have starved to death..."

Su Lun touched Guoguo's head distressedly and said softly, "Guoguo, I won't let you suffer anymore in the future."

Guoguo forced a smile, but she still looked a little unhappy. It was Su Lun's first time taking care of a child, and she didn't know how to make the child happy, so she could only stay with her silently.

The two walked back to the inn in silence. Soon after they arrived at the room, Wang Shen and Chen Jiajun also came over. They each shared the news they had learned today. Although the channels were different, the information they obtained was similar. However, Wang Shen found out that many people here seemed to know that Master Chen Xuan was coming to Chu. At this moment, he frowned slightly and looked a little worried.

"This is not a secret. The more people know about it, the better. Isn't this exactly the effect we need? Why are you so worried, brother Wang?" Su Lun asked in confusion.

Wang Shen sighed softly: "I'm just a little worried about your safety."

Su Lun smiled and consoled him, "Don't worry, Lord Yang is here as an envoy, and he has a lot of experts around him to protect him. And since the King of Chu has received the letter, he will definitely treat you with courtesy. Besides, Lord Yang is not an ordinary person, and it won't be easy to kill him."

After listening to Su Lun's words, Wang Shen nodded slightly to show his agreement, but he still couldn't help frowning: "That being said, things are unpredictable. I always feel that things will not be that simple."

Su Lun looked at Wang Shen and sighed in his heart. He had noticed that every time Wang Shen mentioned Master Chen Xuan, his expression would become particularly gentle. It seemed that the relationship between the two was extraordinary. But since Wang Shen did not mention it on his own initiative, he did not ask more questions. After all, everyone has their own privacy and stories. So Su Lun changed the subject and said, "Brother Wang, you are worried and confused, but I can understand that Master Chen Xuan is really too important to us. I hope everything goes well!"

Wang Shen looked at Su Lun gratefully and said, "Yes, I hope everything goes well. This mission to Chu is a major event concerning the future of both countries, and we cannot afford to make any mistakes!"

Su Lun nodded and said, "Since there is no special news here, let's go to Chujing after dinner. If we set off at this time, we can reach the capital before dark if we are fast."

Neither of them had any objection, and after a simple meal they set off without stopping.
