Imperial Prefecture.
"Mr. Thirteen, traveling to Zhonghuang Mountain?"
Su Yuheng, pretending to be 'Fairy Xuanji', looked at Li Xianyuan who came to report the news, "Are you sure there is only Mr. Thirteen?"
Li Xianyuan said: "There are also three inner court disciples. For the Imperial Master, their strength is negligible."
"That's it..." Su Yuheng took a sip of tea, his mind racing.
She had seen Chu Xiu take action, and it was indeed amazing that he could dominate the younger generation.
But after all, they are the younger generation and their skills are still shallow.
As the senior sister of Tianzong, she has full confidence in taking down Chu Xiu.
It's just that...she came to Chang'an City just to eat and drink, but she never thought about actually confronting Suzaku Academy, let alone helping Emperor Qian.
"I still have to pretend." Su Yuheng's eyes moved slightly, thinking that if he had a 'first-level battle' then, he would probably be able to muddle through.
As for losing, would it be embarrassing?
Su Yuheng said that her current name is 'Fairy Xuanji'.
Fairy Xuanji is defeated, what does it have to do with me, Fairy Yuheng?
Not to mention…
Su Yuheng had long looked away from the issue of victory or defeat.
Really...she was in the gambling house and was almost numb from losing.
"I would like to ask Commander Li for another favor." Su Yuheng looked at Li Xianyuan.
"Please tell me." Li Xianyuan said.
"Assemble all the Longyuan Guards to surround Yuhuang Mountain." Su Yuheng put down his teacup, stood up, and looked out of the hall, "It's time for the world to understand why Tianzong can be named after 'Heaven'."
"Okay." Li Xianyuan nodded, turned and left.
Su Yuheng sat down again and poured herself a drink, thinking that once Li Xianyuan transferred Long Yuan Guard, she could go to the black market again to sell jade and treasures.
"After this time, I really have to run away."
"Well~, since this is the last time, I have to make a lot of money."
…
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.
Li Xianyuan truthfully reported the decision of 'Fairy Xuanji'.
Qianhuang chuckled and said: "This Fairy Xuanji, I am afraid that the thunder will be loud and the raindrops will be light, so she does not dare to really deal with Chu Xiu."
"Although the Taoist Heavenly Sect is strong, it is still not as good as the Vermillion Bird Academy." Li Xianyuan nodded.
"Some people need to take the blame after all." Emperor Qian said quietly, "Tianzong, that's enough."
Li Xianyuan's heart moved and he remained silent.
Emperor Qian said: "Remember, all actions in Yuhuang Mountain are respected by Fairy Xuanji."
"I understand." Li Xianyuan nodded.
"This time, I am not to blame." Emperor Qian said to himself, "If you dare to offend the ancestors of Emperor Wu, so what if you are a disciple of the back mountain?"
Li Xianyuan thought for a while and remained silent.
He had a vague feeling that Chu Xiu would not go to Zhonghuang Mountain alone.
Some gentlemen from the back of Zhuque Academy are likely to follow him secretly.
…
A carriage with simple decorations drove out from Zhuque Academy and left Chang'an City.
In the carriage.
The proprietress Mo Shaoyun softly told about Zhonghuang Mountain.
"So that's it." Xia Chuxue gradually realized.
"That female senior said your eyes can help us." Chu Xiu said softly.
The landlady couldn't help but glance at Xia Chuxue's eyes. She remembered that Xia Chuxue almost climbed to the top of the back mountain with her during the inner court examination.
The key is these extremely bright eyes.
Xia Chuxue's eyes moved slightly and she whispered: "I hope so."
"Don't be too nervous, second senior brother Wang Quan will also come with you." Chu Xiu smiled and said, "Just treat this operation as an outing."
"Outing?" Xia Chuxue and the landlady couldn't help but twitch their faces.
Robbery of the Emperor’s Tomb is an outing?
In particular, what was stolen was the famous Tomb of Emperor Wu.
The carriage left Chang'an City and drove in the suburbs for about an hour before stopping.
"There are still about ten miles to go before we reach the foot of Zhonghuang Mountain." Zhu Yourong, who was driving, said softly.
"Ten miles..." Chu Xiu muttered, "Stop here first and wait until evening before entering the mountain."
"good."
No one will have an opinion.
Zhonghuang Mountain is surrounded by mountains and forests.
Chu Xiu asked the landlady and Xia Chuxue to collect some dry firewood nearby. He and Zhu Yourong walked into a mountain forest and planned to hunt some prey for lunch.
The two of them were walking in the mountains and forests, and Zhu Yourong deliberately kept a slight distance from Chu Xiu.
"There's no one else here, why are you hiding so far away from me?" Chu Xiu was a little dissatisfied. He walked and scanned the surroundings.
Zhu Yourong hummed and said, "What do you think?"
"Change back to how you were before." Chu Xiu looked back at Zhu Yourong.
Zhu Yourong paused and didn't answer. His "cold face" gradually became more beautiful, and his bright red lips looked particularly shiny.
"Looking at it this way, it's much more pleasing to the eye." Chu Xiu chuckled and continued walking forward.
Zhu Yourong's eyebrows were slightly lowered and he followed Chu Xiu quietly.
After walking for a while, I came across a small waterfall more than one foot high, with a pool under the waterfall.
The pool is crystal clear, and some fish can be vaguely seen swimming.
"You go into the water and catch some fish, and I'll go look for them nearby." Chu Xiu looked back at Zhu Yourong.
"Okay." Zhu Yourong nodded.
Chu Xiu left alone.
Zhu Yourong came to the edge of the stone pool, squatted down, and stretched out his hand across the cool pool water. Wisps of true energy spread along the pool water.
The true energy formed a net, and within a short time several fish were caught.
A slight smile appeared on Zhu Yourong's face.
After catching more than a dozen palm-long fish, she looked at the crystal clear water and suddenly had the idea of soaking her feet in the water.
I looked around, thinking that it would still be some time before Chu Xiu came back...
"Just take a dip."
Zhu Yourong's eyes flashed slightly, and he sat on a piece of bluestone. He took off his shoes and socks, rolled up his trousers, and gently stretched his white and jade feet into the water.
The water in the pool is cool and accompanied by an undercurrent after the small waterfall falls.
It's very refreshing to soak your feet in the water.
Zhu Yourong couldn't help but reveal a smile.
She swayed her feet slightly and admired the small waterfall in front of the pool. As the white waves rolled, she keenly noticed that some small fish in the pool actually swam toward her.
Zhu Yourong was surprised and his swaying little feet stopped.
When she discovered that some small fish were actually pecking her feet with their mouths, her bright eyes revealed a look of surprise.
"It's quite comfortable."
Zhu Yourong secretly thought that when her feet were pecked lightly, she felt a smooth and tender itch. This was something she had never experienced before while soaking her feet.
Suddenly, the small fish that were pecking at Zhu Yourong's feet all floated to the surface of the water, their white belly facing upwards, and they became motionless.
"This..." Zhu Yourong was stunned.
"Your feet are so smelly that they suffocate all the little fishes to death." A voice with a long smile sounded in Zhu Yourong's ears.
Zhu Yourong's face instantly turned red, and he stood up immediately, his trousers immediately getting wet.
She turned around and glared at Chu Xiu, her eyes full of shame and anger.
"Just kidding, the fish are still alive." Chu Xiu said leisurely, and with a slight movement of his right hand, all the small fish in the clear pool with their bellies exposed all performed a 'carp kick' and rushed into the clear pool. deep.
"It was you just now..." Zhu Yourong glared at Chu Xiu.
Chu Xiu said leisurely: "I helped you enjoy a top-notch foot bath. Weren't you very happy just now?"
"Asshole." Zhu Yourong gritted his teeth, filled with shame and anger.
Just now, she thought it was her feet that exuded a smell that fish liked, which attracted them.
I didn’t expect that this person was actually causing trouble!
"I want to ask." Chu Xiu looked at Zhu Yourong's face that was red with embarrassment and anger, and said with a smile, "Is there such a rule in this world that if I look at your feet, you have no choice but to marry me?"
He remembered that there seemed to be similar rules in a certain ancient period in his previous life.
"If you don't leave, I'll call someone." Zhu Yourong sneered, "Let them see your true face."
Chu Xiu blinked, "What is my true face?"
Zhu Yourong was furious and said in a low voice, "If you don't leave, I won't teach you ventriloquism anymore."
Chu Xiu turned around and left.
In his hands were three fat gray rabbits.
Zhu Yourong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looked down at her feet in the water, and cursed secretly: "Marry your sister!"
"..."
In the mountain forest, a fire was lit.
Most of the fragrant rabbit meat and fish meat fell into Chu Xiu's mouth.
"We are being watched." Zhu Yourong whispered, and she noticed some movement around her.
Chu Xiu smiled and said: "Normally, even in broad daylight, the smoke from a fire in the woods can travel far."
He is very experienced in this regard.
On the 8,000-mile journey to Chang'an City with Huitong and Meng Xiaochuan, they often lit bonfires near the bandits' dens to attract bandits to take the initiative to rob.
This place is only ten miles away from Zhonghuang Mountain, and most likely belongs to the patrol area of the tombkeeper.
"You knew this all along?"
Zhu Yourong frowned, and the landlady and Xia Chuxue also looked at Chu Xiu.
"Do you think you can keep it a secret?" Chu Xiu said leisurely, "I'm afraid that as soon as we leave Suzaku Academy, we will be monitored by some people."
"Then what's next..." the landlady asked in a low voice.
"Just wait and see what happens." Chu Xiu said, seeing a little worry and nervousness on the faces of the three women, he couldn't help but comfort him, "Don't worry, we haven't started to steal the emperor's tomb yet, no one in the world dares to target me. This is Mr. Back Mountain Thirteen.”
As soon as I finished speaking...
"Yeah?"
A cold sneer suddenly sounded.
