When they learned that the road ahead was safe, the group continued on their way.
Emperor Wu's health was no longer serious, so Qian Zhao no longer had to take care of him in the carriage.
Qian Zhao and Yu Shisan followed on the left side of the carriage, while Yuan Lu and Sun Lang followed on the right side of the carriage.
Yu Shisan patted Qian Zhao on the shoulder: "Old Qian, why hasn't the beauty of Lingzhou come back for so long? Could something have happened?"
Qian Zhao replied softly: "Probably not."
On the way, Ayang suddenly said that she wanted to go there for convenience. She had her sword and her medicine box with her.
Yuan Lu chatted: "Maybe it's too cold, so Sister Lingzhou doesn't want to ride too fast."
Yu Shisan nodded: "It makes sense. Old Qian, why don't you stop and wait? I'm watching over you, Your Majesty."
"Okay." Qian Zhao glanced at Yu Shisan gratefully, then turned his horse around and stopped.
An hour later.
Qian Zhao quickly rushed back to the team on horseback.
"Why are you alone? Where is the beauty Lingzhou?" Yu Shisan looked behind Qian Zhao as he spoke.
Qian Zhao frowned: "I waited for a long time, but I didn't see her. I suspected something might have happened."
Yuanlu was startled and asked quickly: "What? What should we do? We can't stop now."
What they have to do now is to quickly send the Holy Lord back to Wu Kingdom, but if something happens to Sister Lingzhou, they can't ignore it.
Qian Zhao made arrangements in a cold voice: "I'll go back to find Ayang. If I don't come back before dark, Thirteen, you will lead the team to send the emperor back."
Yuanlu: "I'll go too!"
Qian Zhao refused coldly: "No, I will go by myself. The three of you must protect the Lord back to Wudu."
He now felt panicked like never before, and even his original plan wanted to be abandoned.
Before anyone could respond, Sun Jialang suddenly said: "Thirteen, shoot that pigeon."
Yu Shisan looked up and saw a white dove flying in the sky. Without saying a word, he picked up the crossbow and shot the dove down.
Genroku rode forward and picked up the pigeon.
He handed the pigeon to Qian Zhao: "Brother Qian, this is the pigeon that carries the message."
Seeing the pigeon, Qian Zhao could only put aside the matter of leaving the team.
He untied the letter from the pigeon's leg and unfolded it. The letter was large and seemed to contain a lot of content.
When he first saw the beginning, Qian Zhao's pupils shrank suddenly.
After reading the letter, Qian Zhao was silent for a long time.
Yu Shisan looked at Qian Zhao suspiciously after reading the letter. The corners of his eyes were slightly red and his lips were trembling slightly. He felt a little surprised. What could make Qian Zhao show such an expression.
Yu Shisan pulled the letter paper from Qian Zhao's hand: "What is written on the letter? Why do you look like this?"
Yuan Lu and Sun Lang turned their heads when they heard this and looked at Qian Zhao with some confusion.
After Thirteen finished reading, his eyes when he looked at Qian Zhao became complicated.
"Brother Thirteen, what was written in the letter? You don't look too good either."
"Read it yourself." Yu Shisan approached the carriage and handed the letter to the guard driving the carriage, who in turn handed it to Yuan Lu.
"What?" Yuan Lu felt confused.
After taking the letter, Sun Lang and Sun Lang read it together.
Lingzhou Yangliu: Qian Zhaozhao, Yuanlu, Yu Shisan, Sun Lang, I'm leaving, don't look for me, I'm just going to do what I want to do.
Qian Zhaozhao, you have your own righteousness, but I don’t want to be trapped in a house, so I can’t marry you.
I have been trapped in the palace of Chu for fifteen years. Traveling around the world is my pursuit, so I took our children to see the prosperous and beautiful scenery of the world.
Yuanlu, your illness has been cured. You can do whatever you want from now on, and accompany whomever you want to accompany. Don't have any worries.
Yu Shisan, although you usually seem quite unreliable, you are not ambiguous at all in your actions. You are a romantic young man who has been among thousands of flowers and never touched a leaf. Please help me persuade Qian Zhao. Let him not be persistent.
…
At the end of the letter, Ling Zhouyang left only one sentence: The night moon and a curtain of dreams, and Yang has no regrets.
Everyone who read the letter stopped talking and just moved on in silence.
Ling Zhouyang stood on a high peak and looked at the horse-drawn carriage team that was getting further away. She decided to follow them for a while and leave as soon as Qian Zhao and the others entered Hexian County.

Andu.
Yang Ying already knew that Ren Ruyi was dead and that Li Tongguang had buried Ren Ruyi's ashes, so she asked Li Tongguang to send someone to take her to pay homage to Ren Ruyi.
But she didn't expect to be assassinated. She originally thought that she would die in Ren Ruyi's tomb in all likelihood.
Just when she was about to fight to the death, Ren Ruyi and Ning Yuanzhou appeared and helped her kill the killer.
Ning Yuanzhou and Ren Ruyi met and hugged each other tightly.
When Yang Ying saw Ren Ruyi alive, she was even more excited and shed tears.
Ning Yuanzhou originally wanted to take Yang Ying away, but Yang Ying had revealed her identity and even proposed to Emperor An that she be the queen of An Guo.
After going through this experience, Yang Ying has figured out that even if she returns to Wu State, she will never be the same little sparrow that she was before in a jade cage.
Ning Yuanzhou and Ren Ruyi didn't stop him after hearing this. Yang Ying had her own ideas and they should be happy for her.
Ling Zhouyang quietly followed Qian Zhao and the others and saw that they had arrived near Tianmen Pass.
Qian Zhao and the others stopped to rest in the canyon near Tianmen Pass, while Ling Zhouyang hid behind the rocks in the canyon.
She saw Qian Zhao leaving the team with Emperor Wu, and everyone else was looking for a place to rest.
"Where is he going with Emperor Wu?" Ling Zhouyang was a little confused.
After traveling for such a long time, Qian Zhao didn't want to rest, but instead walked away with Emperor Wu. It was really strange.
Qian Zhao took Emperor Wu to the battlefield where the soldiers of Wu State and the brothers of Liudaotang died tragically.
Emperor Wu looked at the plains filled with flying sand and said to Qian Zhao, "This is not a place with beautiful scenery."
Qian Zhao said coldly: "Your Majesty, please take a closer look."
Emperor Wu: "Qian Qing, I can't see much scenery."
Qian Zhao looked at Emperor Wu and tried his best to suppress his anger: "Then, has your Majesty ever thought about what the Dawu soldiers who died tragically on the battlefield of Tianmen Pass would see under the Nine Springs?"
After hearing this, Emperor Wu looked carefully for a while and realized that the place where Qian Zhao brought him was the battlefield where he was defeated.
There was guilt and self-blame in his eyes, and even more pain.
Imprisoned in Anguo, Aying disguised himself as a man and went to Anguo to redeem him.
Emperor An went back on his word and imprisoned him in the Huxin Pavilion. Everyone in Liudaotang worked together to rescue him.
Each of these things made him feel guilty and uneasy.
"What do Qian Qing want?" Emperor Wu's tone was very calm, as if Qian Zhao would kill him here without any complaints.
Qian Zhao sneered and asked, "Does Your Majesty think I will kill you?"
Emperor Wu looked at the battlefield in the distance and smiled: "Everything is my fault. Even if Qian Qing kills me, it should be right."
Qian Zhao took off the wine bag from his waist and handed it to Emperor Wu: "I just want your Majesty to kneel here and worship those compatriots who died tragically."
When he set out from Wudu, he wanted to kill Emperor Wu.
On the way to Anguo, he was planning where to kill and how to kill.
It's not that he hasn't thought about the consequences of killing the leader of a country, but he hates that his younger brothers, brothers from Liudaotang, and Dawu's soldiers all died on the battlefield because Emperor Wu listened to the slander.
These could have been avoided, but because Emperor Wu could not avoid them, how could he not hate them?
