Chapter 104 Traveling together
The prayer card with a red ribbon flew high, almost hanging on the top of the tree.
"Your Majesty is so awesome." Jiang Shu's almond-shaped eyes widened with envy.
It's a pity that the prayer plaque only makes sense if you hang it yourself.
Seeing her staring at the prayer card on the top of the tree, Yu Zheng explained in a warm voice: "You don't have to care about high or low, just be sincere."
Jiang Shu's face turned red when he heard this.
That's all, she can't throw him as high as Yu Zheng, so just let nature take its course.
Jiang Shu took a deep breath, raised his arm and threw it hard under Yu Zheng's gaze, and the prayer card hung firmly on the waist of the tree.
"It's already very high." Yu Zheng praised.
For an ordinary woman who doesn't know martial arts, this height is indeed not low.
The matter was settled, Jiang Shu no longer struggled, smiled relievedly and said: "The prince is busy with official duties, how can he have time to come here?"
"The river embankment has been inspected and repaired under the supervision of the Minister of Works. I heard that the incense here is efficacious, so I came to pray for my family and check on the people's sentiments."
After Yu Zheng finished speaking, he turned to her and asked, "What about you, have you finished your work?"
"It's half done, but it still needs a few more days."
The two of them were like familiar old friends, asking each other how they were doing and chatting freely.
"My boss, my boss?" Tan Yu's urgent call sounded from the other side.
Jiang Shu hurriedly responded: "I'm over here."
Tan Yu came around and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Jiang Shu, but her tone heightened again when she saw Yu Zheng.
"Wang...Prince?"
Tan Yu's reaction was exactly the same as Jiang Shu's before.
Zhufeng sneered: "What kind of master should be like a maid."
Yu Zheng's dark eyes swept coldly: "Go around Lingyin Temple ten times."
"Huh?" Zhufeng had a pained look on his face, secretly annoyed that he was being mean-mouthed.
He just thinks about it in his mind, why does he have to say it out loud?
"What ten circles?" Jiang Shu was confused.
Yu Zheng said in a calm tone: "It's nothing. The host said there is a cold spring outside the temple. Have you visited it?"
Jiang Shu shook his head: "We have just been here for a while."
"The scenery on the lake is like Lingyin, and the scenery is alone among the cold springs. Do you want to go sightseeing together?" Yu Zheng clenched his hands tightly behind his back, feeling a little nervous in his heart, fearing that she would refuse.
Jiang Shu thought that there was nothing important to do today and a visit to Lingyin Temple would not be in vain, so he happily nodded in agreement.
She is a man now, and no one here knows them, so there is nothing wrong with hanging out together.
After receiving a positive answer, Yu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the temple towards the cold spring.
Jiang Shu stepped forward to catch up, but when Tan Yu turned around, Zhu Feng was nowhere to be seen.
After leaving Lingyin Temple, Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu went directly to Lengquan. Zhuiyun, who was waiting outside the mountain gate, did not see Zhufeng, so he followed up and asked Tanyu, "Where did Zhufeng go?"
Tan Yu said: "The prince asked him to circle Lingyin Temple ten times, and then he didn't see him."
Upon hearing this, Zhuiyun felt relieved and asked curiously, "What did he say again?"
Tan Yu tried hard to recall: "He said, 'What kind of master should be like a maid'."
After Zhuiyun heard this, he secretly thought, "It's okay."
The two of them stayed further away and followed Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng. Tan Yu looked around and chattered to Zhuiyun.
Zhuiyun didn't talk much. Most of the time, Tan Yu said that he listened, and occasionally responded with a sentence or two. Always pay attention to Yu Zheng in front of you and pay attention to the surrounding movements.
Zhufeng is not here, and the guards are at the mountain gate. The master's safety rests on him alone, and he must be vigilant at all times.
Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng walked slowly along the cold spring and walked into the mountains unknowingly.
There are red mountains and green trees in the mountains, reflecting the secluded forest. The stone wall is steep and the water is calm and desolate. It's like a secret realm in the world, a paradise.
Being in this place, the two of them put aside the many rules and constraints of going to Beijing, and like ordinary friends, they traveled together, chatted and enjoyed the scenery.
Half a day passed leisurely, and when Zhufeng ran ten laps to find it, it was already near midday. Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng turned around and walked back to Lingyin Temple for a fast meal.
He just came back and went back?
Zhufeng was like being struck by lightning, turning to stone on the spot.
When Tan Yu passed by him, he said casually: "Come on, don't you want to have lunch?"
"Gugu——" Zhufeng's stomach answered first.
"Pfft!" Tan Yu laughed.
Zhufeng stamped his feet in annoyance: "Don't laugh."
If it weren't for her, why would he be punished by running ten laps, and why would his stomach growl with hunger.
The group returned to the temple, and using Yu Zheng's identity, they got a quiet monastery to eat alone.
Yu Zheng was a little reluctant to spend a day with Jiang Shu, so he asked the young novice who delivered the vegetarian meal what other good scenery there was besides the cold spring.
The young novice told them that Lingyin Peak opposite Lingyin Temple was very beautiful and worth a visit. And the sunshine is very good today. When the sun sets, you can climb to the top to watch the sunset over the West Lake.
When Jiang Shu heard the word sunset, his apricot eyes lit up instantly.
Yu Zheng was delighted when he saw this and asked her if she wanted to go to Lingjiu Peak together after dinner.
Jiang Shu had a special liking for the sunset, so he nodded immediately.
So after having a fast meal, they set off for Lingjiu Peak.
Lingjiu Peak has unique geology and has formed many caves. Jiang Shu's eyes were opened to the many strange stalactites and stalactites of different shapes in the cave.
"Tick-tock! Tick-tock!" The water droplets dripped along the upside-down stalactites and alternately fell into the puddles on the ground, forming a pleasant music.
"The world is so vast and full of wonders. This is simply a heavenly realm created by miraculous craftsmanship."
Jiang Shu opened his apricot eyes wide and looked at them dizzyingly.
Zhuiyun Zhufeng walked in front holding a torch in both hands, trying to light up the cave as brightly as possible for Jiang Shu to see.
The ground in the cave was slippery and uneven, and the light was dim and unclear. Jiang Shu was so mesmerized that he didn't pay attention to his steps. When he was walking forward, he slipped and fell.
"Be careful!" Yu Zheng hurriedly reached out to pull her, but the ground was too slippery and he slipped without noticing.
The two of them rolled down the slope uncontrollably.
"Master!"
"master!"
Tan Yu was anxious to help Jiang Shu, but fell down before taking two steps.
"Ouch!" Tan Yu fell to her leg and screamed in pain.
Zhuiyun Zhufeng ran over quickly with a torch, but slipped and knocked out the torch.
"What the hell is this place? It's slippery and bumpy." Zhufeng cursed while rubbing his butt that had broken into pieces.
He was very unlucky, and his butt fell on a raised stalactite. The pain caused one of his souls to leave his body, and the other two souls ascended to heaven, and he almost died on the spot.
Zhuiyun didn't fare much better. His arm hit a sharp stone, causing the skin to bleed.
Only Jiang Shu was almost unscathed because Yu Zheng protected her in his arms when she fell.
"My lord, are you okay? Are you hurt?" Jiang Shu sat up and asked Yu Zheng, his tone full of guilt and anxiety.
If it weren't for her, Yu Zheng wouldn't have fallen.
To prevent her from worrying and blaming herself, Yu Zheng gritted his teeth and endured the pain, and said calmly: "I'm fine."
Jiang Shu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard his calm tone, as if he wasn't hurt.
"Let's get out quickly, it's too dangerous in here." Jiang Shu stroked his chest in shock.
This cave is beautiful, but unfortunately it is too dangerous. No wonder few people come here.
Yu Zheng responded and stood up cautiously while stroking the cave wall.
Even though he is full of martial arts skills, he is no different from ordinary people in this unstable cave, making him feel insecure when he loses control.
Zhuiyun Zhufeng endured the pain and lit the torch again, lowering it a little to illuminate the road. The group of people helped each other and carefully exited the cave.
