"Are you hungry?"

To have such a sound coming from her stomach, it was obvious that the woman was very hungry.

"My stomach wants to eat!"

Zhao Xiaoxue was embarrassed, but this was the truth. She was really hungry. From yesterday until now, she hadn't eaten a single drop of rice. Although she had eaten some fruits and snacks, she was unable to eat any of them!

Hearing the woman's words, Chu Yufeng understood and immediately gave the order:

"Luo Ze, send in the food!"

Hearing that there was food to eat, Zhao Xiaoxue couldn't help but lick her lips. Finally, there was food to eat. It was great to be able to stay by this man's side. Being able to satisfy his stomach so quickly was very exciting.

"Young master, the food is here!"

Luo Ze respectfully held a plate in his hand.

Zhao Xiaoxue couldn't wait for the man to answer before jumping up. She wanted to see what was delicious.

However, when she saw the big cake on the plate, she was immediately dumbfounded. So the so-called food was actually the big cake. Although she was disappointed, but hunger was hard to endure. Let the big cake be the big cake!

Chu Yufeng noticed the woman's reaction, but he didn't say anything. He just gestured for Luo Ze to pass the disk to the woman at his side.

Luo Ze quickly withdrew, not to mention that this biscuit tasted pretty good. Zhao Xiaoxue was really too hungry, so she quickly finished the entire biscuit.

"Do you want more?"

the man asked.

"Enough! Enough! I'm not hungry anymore! "

To be honest, Zhao Xiaoxue wasn't full yet, but she couldn't always eat big cakes and had to eat some other things, such as food. It was getting late, so she believed that they would definitely find a place to rest.

Just like this, Zhao Xiaoxue hoped that the swaying carriage would stop. But even though she was a little sleepy after nightfall, the carriage was still moving forward.

She really wanted to ask when this carriage would stop, but when she thought about how she had wasted her time leaving the city, she felt too embarrassed to speak. She kept it in her heart until she gradually fell asleep.

"Gulugulu!"

This kind of sound kept circling around her ears, so Zhao Xiaoxue couldn't tell if it was the sound of the wheels or her own stomach.

When she opened her eyes, the sunlight was exceptionally bright. She gently blocked the sunlight with her hand and found that she was still lying inside the carriage. The man was resting with his eyes closed as before.

"Gulugulu!"

This time, Zhao Xiaoxue heard very clearly that it was her stomach that was growling.

"Are you hungry?"

The man slowly opened his eyes and asked the woman beside him.

"Yes …" I am indeed a little hungry! "

Zhao Xiaoxue was indeed very hungry, even if she wanted to act reserved.

"Luo Ze, send in the food!"

It was the same voice again. Last time, Zhao Xiaoxue still had some expectations, but this time, she had a bad premonition. The one sent in by Guard Luo was definitely still …

Just as Zhao Xiaoxue was thinking this, Luo Ze walked in carrying a round plate and respectfully handed it over to Zhao Xiaoxue, as if he was very clear that the things inside were meant for the lady beside him.

Looking at the big cake on the plate, Zhao Xiaoxue suddenly hesitated. She really didn't want to keep eating the big cake like this. Couldn't she eat something else?

"Miss Xiaoxue, Master Qin of the Prince's Mansion made this biscuit. It tastes quite good. Why don't you try it again?"

Luo Ze's face was full of enthusiasm.

"Thank you!"

Only now did Zhao Xiaoxue realize that her hesitant expression was very rude towards this Imperial Guard Luo. She quickly took the biscuit and began to chew. The taste was indeed good, but no matter how good it was, it was still a biscuit!

Seeing that Miss Xiaoxue had taken the bread, Luo Ze didn't say anything else and just turned around. He got off the horse carriage and continued to pat his horse while the man beside him closed his eyes.

Zhao Xiaoxue observed her surroundings doubtfully while gnawing on the biscuit. Were these people not planning to eat? Or had he already eaten?

Thinking about it, she had never seen the appearance of the man next to her eating before. Could he be the same as those legendary immortal cultivators, that he no longer needed to eat?

"If you don't like big cakes, you can prepare some other food on the way when you arrive at the relay station!"

Zhao Xiaoxue suspected that even if the man beside her had his eyes closed, he would still be able to see her expression. It was amazing, but he was right. She really didn't want another biscuit.

"Hehe, actually, I'm not picky with my food, it's just that I've had too much to eat. I almost thought you guys wouldn't eat? "I see, I was in a hurry. It's alright, I can persevere on. However, how far is the relay station?"

With this goal in hand, Zhao Xiaoxue felt a lot more at ease. As long as she could persevere to the relay station, she would be able to enjoy a good meal. After all, the person beside her was a prince.

Furthermore, the gatekeeping officer had been bowing and groveling towards his guards. It could be seen that this prince was an extremely powerful figure.

Hearing Zhao Xiaoxue's question, the man finally opened his eyes and turned to look at the woman beside him. He softly said,

"From the capital to the borders of the Southern Chu, there is only one relay station, so …"

Before the man could finish his words, Zhao Xiaoxue's eyes were already wide open as she looked at the man beside her with a face of disbelief:

"Wh …" What? A relay station? However, there are more than a dozen cities and towns from the Qianzhou to the Andu, so why is there only a single relay station? "

Zhao Xiaoxue asked seriously.

"This is because we are on an official road and there are no towns in a radius of several dozen miles on this road. Furthermore, there is only a relay station on this public road!"

Men didn't think there was anything wrong with that. After all, if there was an emergency or if there was a war going on, the majority of the troops couldn't come through the towns to disturb the people.

"There is only one relay station on the official road. Does that mean that it will take at least two to three days to reach the relay station?"

Zhao Xiaoxue was not stupid. Even if they traveled in a straight line, it would at most shorten the distance by half, and the relay stations were definitely located in the middle of the road. Thus, it would take at least two days.

"You're right. We need two days to travel day and night, plus the rest time for the people on the road!"

The man analyzed the situation very seriously.

"You knew it would take two days? That... "Then why don't you prepare more food?"

Zhao Xiaoxue was speechless. At this moment, she really missed her big brother and her father. Even if her big brother's braised pork ribs didn't taste good, at least they were still meat. If she followed this man now, she would only be able to eat big cakes.

"I didn't expect to meet you. The guards outside all possess a third grade spiritual energy, so they can leave the valley for three days. This king is the same, so …"

Hearing the man's words, Zhao Xiaoxue suddenly looked at the small piece of bread in her hand with a puzzled expression:

"None of you need to eat, then what about this big cake …"

"For the horses!"

The man was rather direct, answering every question he asked.

Hearing this, Zhao Xiaoxue felt her stomach churn. Oh god, what she had eaten these last two meals were horse cakes!

"Chu Yufeng, why didn't you say so earlier?"
