The sun sets over the western mountains, and the remaining light shines across the sky.
The carriage slowly stopped at the entrance of the village.
Ling'er lifted the curtain and looked out. The village at the foot of the mountain was coated with a layer of golden light by the afterglow of the setting sun. Everything was so quiet and peaceful.
The smoke from every house rises from the chimney and slowly floats in the wind.
Ji Cangyu held the horse and said, "Let's stay in this village!"
"Where is this?" Ling'er also got off the carriage and felt that this place was a bit familiar, as if she had been here before.
"This is Cherry Valley! Why didn't Ling'er recognize it?" Zhong Gong took Ling'er's baggage and said with a smile.
"Yingyinggou? Are we still in the outer suburbs of the capital?" Ling'er said in disbelief. She looked around and saw rows of cherry trees. It's just that these cherry trees have almost lost all their leaves in winter, and they stand there naked, waiting for spring.
No wonder Ling'er feels that the surroundings look familiar! Because summer had just begun one year, she passed by this place when she followed Ji Cangyu to the capital. She saw that the trees were full of red cherries, and she stopped to pick a lot of fruits. Ling'er can't forget the sweet and sour taste to this day.
The reason why Ling'er didn't recognize this place just now was because it was not far from the capital. Although they had stopped and stopped along the way, they shouldn't have just walked here after a day trip, right?
Zhong Gong saw Ling'er's confusion, leaned close to her ear and laughed softly: "It seems that Ling'er was just thinking about his sweetheart along the way, and didn't even look at the scenery! He didn't even know where he was going!"
Ling'er's face turned red, Zhong Gong found out what was on her mind. She really didn't pay attention to the scenery outside the car window. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, how can it rival the person in Ling'er's eyes at this moment? Those beautiful scenery turned into Qi Yang's smile and frown in Ling'er's eyes.
"Brother, what are you talking about? Follow me quickly!" Zhong Long waved to them from the front and urged.
"Let's go! Master said there is an inn ahead where you can stay." Zhong Gong said with a smile.

Huahong Inn is the only inn in this village.
Although the inn is not big, it has all the necessary features. Here you can both work as a tipper and stay in a hotel. This puzzled Ling'er. Why would there be such a formal inn in such a small village?
Ji Cangyu saw Ling'er frowning and looking around in the inn, and said with a smile: "This inn is not big, but it is very famous."
"Is there anything unique about this inn?" Ling'er asked quickly.
"Isn't it because of the piles of cherry trees at the entrance of the village?" Ji Cangyu explained, "When the weather warms up in the spring, those cherry flowers will bloom together, and the light red color will be seen from a distance, which is so beautiful. At that time, There will be many literati and elegant people traveling all the way here to enjoy the cherry blossoms, and this inn will provide them with a place to stay."
"After the new rain in the South Park yesterday, the cherry blossoms were old and their branches were old. The dawn is waiting for no one to see it, and there are many footprints around the tree." Zhong Gong pointed to a poem and painting on the wall and recited.
"Some people like to enjoy flowers at dawn, and some people enjoy flowers at night." Ji Cangyu said with a smile, "The ancients also said, 'The fragrance of thousands of trees floats on the water, and the musk wind blows, and the wax smokes the flowers and the snow turns red. It's a joyful night. It's not possible, a drunkard wants to be enlightened in the middle of the moon.'"
"Then it will be much more convenient to have this Huahong Inn." Ling'er said.
"That's right. Wait until next spring, I'll take you and Jun'er here to enjoy the cherry blossoms!" After Ji Cangyu said to Ling'er, he turned to look at Xu Jun.
Xu Jun looked uninterested. He said impatiently: "Dad, I'm hungry."
"Okay, let's have dinner first." Ji Cangyu heard this and quickly reached out to call the waiter over.
"Waiter, what do you want to eat?" The waiter came up quickly.
Ji Cangyu picked a big table and said, "Bring all your signature dishes here and prepare nine pairs of bowls and chopsticks." Ji Cangyu said.
"Okay!" The waiter wiped the table, then put the rag on his shoulder and went to prepare the food.
Zhong Long looked left and right, and after scanning everyone with his eyes, he asked Ji Cangyu puzzledly: "Master, there are only seven of us, why do you want nine sets of bowls and chopsticks?"
"Yes!" Zhong Gong also discovered it.
Ji Cangyu smiled enigmatically and said, "There are two friends who haven't arrived yet." After saying that, Ji Cangyu walked out of the inn.
Ling'er was also very curious and followed out with Zhong Gong and Zhong Long.
I saw two people leading two horses on the village road, looking left and right, not knowing what they were looking for.
"Two heroes, there is only one inn here, let's get together!" Ji Cangyu said loudly to them.
The two people looked at each other awkwardly before walking up to Ji Cangyu.
Ling'er saw that the two men were holding swords, and they looked like people from the world. She looked at Zhong Gong and asked the identities of the two people with her eyes, but Zhong Gong didn't know either.
The tall man in front raised his hands and said, "I'm Gong Ming."
Another person said: "I'm Zhang Ziran."
Then the two of them saluted Ji Cangyu together: "I've met Master Ji!"
"You two heroes have worked hard all the way!" Ji Cangyu said in return.
The two of them were even more embarrassed after hearing this.
Xu Jun also walked out of the inn and directly asked Linger and the others about their doubts: "Dad, these two are..."
"These two are the heroes of Yixing Sect." Ji Cangyu introduced them to everyone.
"Yixingmen?" Xu Jun raised his eyebrows and looked at the two people.
The man who called himself Gong Ming hurriedly explained: "We are secretly protecting the safety of Miss Ling'er under the orders of Hall Master Qi."
Ling'er was shocked. She didn't expect that Brother Qi Dian would send someone to protect him along the way.
"I didn't expect to be discovered by Master Ji immediately." Zhang Ziran said awkwardly.
"Puch!" Zhong Long couldn't hold it back for a moment and laughed out loud.
Hearing the sound, Gong Ming looked towards Zhong Long, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.
Zhong Gong quickly pulled his brother aside and asked him to calm down.
Gong Ming and Zhang Ziran were worried that they would be driven away and unable to complete the tasks assigned by Hall Master Qi, when they heard Ji Cangyu say: "Since it is Hall Master Qi's kindness, then Ji invites you two to go on the road together!"
Gong Ming and Zhang Ziran were overjoyed when they heard this. Not only could they complete the task, but they no longer had to hide. Knowing how advanced Ji Cangyu's martial arts was, they didn't dare to get too close, but they were afraid of losing him. They said in unison: "Thank you so much, Mr. Ji Zhuang, for making it possible!"
Ji Cangyu looked back at the food that had been served on the table, and then invited everyone to sit down together.
---
The night in the countryside is very quiet, and the villagers went to bed early.
Ling'er was lying in front of the window, looking at the dark night sky, thinking: "Is Brother Qi Yang on Xiayun Ridge at the moment? Is he busy with official duties? Does he occasionally think of me when he is not busy?"
I don't know how long it took, Ling'er closed her eyes and fell asleep with her pillow on her arm. But I wonder who will be in her dream?
In the yard outside Ling'er's guest room, a tall man in black stood motionless under the tree, quietly looking at the night sky, seemingly in a daze.
"Why don't you hide secretly this time?" A sarcastic voice came from behind the man.
