Zhouzhou is only two days away from Andu.
Li Tongguang informed Ning Yuanzhou of the burial place of Liudaotang Chai Ming and other people who died in the battle.
The mission was delayed for a long time in Guideyuan.
The people of Liudaotang, headed by Ning Yuanzhou, dug up the belongings of their brothers with their bare hands, then cremated their bodies and took the ashes with them on the road.
Everyone set up camp at Guideyuan that night.
In an open place in the forest, people from Wu State's envoy gathered here.
Ning Yuanzhou and Ren Ruyi chatted and talked about Ning Yuanzhou's lurking in Andu.
He changed the subject and left as an excuse to hide something.
Yang Ying got Ren Ruyi's instruction and ran to ask other people.
Yu Shisan yawned and came out of the tent.
When he heard Yang Ying's question, he spread his hands and said, "I'm not familiar with him. Ask Sun Lang."
Yang Ying ran to find Sun Lang.
Sun Lang rested his elbows on the branches of the tree and slowly ate the pie.
Yang Ying asked this question again.
Sun Lang said nonsense seriously: "Me? I don't know! I hadn't joined Zhu Yiwei at that time!"
Yang Ying held her hands on the tree trunk: "Ah?"
Sun Lang quickly made amends: "Oh no, Liudaotang."
As he spoke, he almost choked on the cake and turned around to find some water to drink.
Qian Zhao, sitting by the fire, answered the same question more directly.
He said expressionlessly: "Buddha said, don't say it, don't say it."
Yang Ying could only place her last hope on Yuan Lu.
Yuanlu was currently learning from Xiao Yuxi how to sense the presence of spiritual energy.
He meditated cross-legged on the ground.
Xiao and Xi sat at the front of the carriage, holding a slender branch in their hands.
If Genroku's posture is slightly inappropriate, even if he moves his little finger, the branch will fall on him.
After being beaten again, Yuan Lu was about to cry but had no tears: "Sister Yu Xi, why do you have to sit in meditation?"
Xiao Yuxi's eyes were calm: "Only by feeling the existence of spiritual energy can you transform it into your own power, which is the so-called spiritual power."
"Sitting quietly is like doing the Zhanmabu step before practicing martial arts. If the basic skills are not solid, even if you barely learn advanced martial arts techniques, you will only be half-assed."
"If you can't calm down and can't even sense your own inner scene, how can you cultivate spiritual power?"
After hearing this, Yuanlu obediently closed his eyes.
Yang Ying trotted to Yuan Lu: "Yuan Lu, I have something to ask you."
Yuan Lu said "swish", stood up quickly, and pulled Yang Ying to the side.
He turned to look at Xiao Yuxi: "Sister Yuxi, if your highness wants to ask me something, I'll leave first. I'm definitely not being lazy!"
Xiao Yuxi smiled and shook her head, leaning back.
She threw away the twig and lay back on the carriage.
Yang Ying said: "Yuanlu, do you know what brother Yuanzhou did for a living when he was in Andu?"
When Yuanlu heard this, the joy in his eyes faded.
He paused, turned around and walked back to Xiao Yuxi.
He bent down to pick up a thin branch from the ground and put it into Xiao Yuxi's hands respectfully.
Yuanlu sat on the floor and returned to his original posture.
He put his hands on his knees and said righteously: "Sister Yu Xi, I think it's time for me to work hard."
Xiao Yuxi sighed and sat up again.
Yang Ying stood aside and watched Yuan Lu change his attitude one after another.
Her tone was slightly raised: "Yuanlu?"
Yuanlu closed his eyes: "Your Highness, I am practicing, please don't be distracted."
This is clearly an avoidance.
In order not to answer this question, he would rather continue practicing hard.
Yang Ying turned around and left angrily.
She didn't take a few steps when she bumped into someone: "Sorry..."
Yang Ying looked up and saw that the person coming was Li Tongguang. She immediately assumed the airs of the King of Ceremony and said in a deep voice: "Marquis Changqing, what do you want to do again?"
"I'm sorry." Li Tongguang casually cupped his hands, then put his hands behind his back and said, "I came here in a hurry just to find you."
Although he said this, his eyes couldn't help but glance towards Xiao Yuxi and Yuanlu.
Yang Ying asked: "What's the matter?"
Li Tongguang replied: "The outpost came to report that the bridge on the road ahead collapsed. We will take the mountain road instead."
"When you cross this mountain, you can see Andu."
Yang Ying nodded: "I understand."
Seeing that Li Tongguang was still not leaving after he finished speaking, she frowned and said, "Is there anything else, Lord Marquis?"
Li Tongguang said nothing.
Yang Ying followed his line of sight.
Xiao Yuxi was seen holding the frame of the carriage door with one hand, leaning slightly to look at Yuan Lu, with a soft smile on his lips.
Yuan Lu looked up at Xiao Yu Xi with a bright smile.
Xiao Yuxi seemed to be patiently preaching something.
Yuanlu nodded repeatedly.
Li Tongguang suddenly asked: "What is the relationship between that guard and Xiao Nu Shi?"
Yang Ying replied casually: "Yuanlu wants to learn..."
She didn't react until she was halfway through her words: "What does it have to do with you? Mr. Hou is too lenient!"
Li Tongguang smiled: "His Royal Highness, don't be so outspoken."
As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said in a volume that only the two of them could hear clearly: "Having said that, I am worthy of being called a senior brother by His Highness."
After he said that, he turned around and left.
Yang Ying looked at Li Tongguang's back, remembering his determined tone just now, and ran towards Ren Ruyi's tent in a hurry.
Li Tongguang was walking on the forest path, recalling Yang Ying's unfinished words, and muttered to himself: "Study?"
"Can someone like her also accept disciples?"
"Isn't this a bond?"
Under the moonlight, the young man's expression seemed gentle.
The silver-white cloak behind him swayed as he walked.
In Ren Ruyi's tent.
Yang Ying sat down and took a sip of water, and said anxiously: "Sister Ruyi, Marquis Changqing definitely knows your identity!"
"He actually said just now that he is my senior brother!"
Ren Ruyi put down the wooden leopard carving in his hand: "It's as expected."
Yang Ying worried: "Then will he..."
Ren Ruyi shook his head and said with a certain tone: "No, Jiu'er will not do anything detrimental to us."
Yang Ying breathed a sigh of relief.
She thought for a while and then asked: "Sister Ruyi, when do you plan to recognize him?"
Ren Ruyi thought for a moment and looked at Xiao Yuxi sitting on the carriage outside the camp: "There's no hurry."
Xiao Yuxi seemed to sense Ren Ruyi's gaze, and then turned to look over.
She said a few more words to Yuan Lu, then jumped off the carriage and walked towards the camp.
Xiao Yuxi walked into the camp, bypassed Ren Ruyi and Yang Ying, and lay down on Ren Ruyi's bed: "It's more comfortable to lie down here!"
Ren Ruyi sneered lightly: "Nothing formal."
Yang Ying didn't know what she thought of. She rolled her eyes and her smile looked very serious: "Yu Xi, between you and Marquis Changqing..."
Xiao Yuxi changed the subject and said, "Your Highness, was the rabbit I gave you killed and eaten?"
Yang Ying stood up fiercely: "Impossible!"
"Brother Sun protects that rabbit so tightly, who dares to attack it?"
Xiao Yuxi adjusted her posture.
She lay sideways on the bed, supporting her head with one hand and looking at Yang Ying: "Then why haven't I seen it in the past few days?"
Yang Ying quickly turned around and walked out: "I'll go look for it."
After Xiao Yuxi pushed Yang Ying away, Ren Ruyi stood up and walked towards the bed: "Get up."
The corners of Xiao Yuxi's mouth raised slightly, and there was a hint of coquettishness in the smile: "I can't get up."
Ren Ruyi took action directly, carrying a strong wind between his palms and hitting Xiao Yuxi's neck.
Xiao Yuxi tilted his head slightly and leaned back to avoid it.
She held Ren Ruyi's shoulders and sat up: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, choke again, can't you change it?"
Ren Ru noticed that Xiao Yuxi had vacated his seat, then he lifted up his clothes and sat down slowly.
Xiao Yuxi lowered her head slightly. She straightened the folds on her sleeves and sat beside Ren Ruyi in an orderly manner.
Ren Ruyi suddenly asked: "We are about to enter Andu, when do you plan to leave?"
Xiao Yuxi was startled and asked with a smile: "Leave? When did I say I was leaving?"
