Shangguan Wushuang walked blankly on the streets of the Imperial City. The rain soaked into her clothes. She took out her umbrella without meaning, as if she wanted to be caught in a spring rain.
She and Xu Jingyun went to Huamanlou to confirm the origin of Qingluan Sword before her husband.
It's just that she still hasn't waited for news from Li Ye. "It turns out that this guy didn't even say a word to the emperor. What a proud guy he must be?"
Walking in the spring rain, I sighed softly. The young lady will be twenty in a blink of an eye. In Fengyun City, she has already been the mother of several children at this age.
In order to practice, she followed Xu Jingyun and left Fengyun City, and also left Li Ye.
Unexpectedly, the two of them were separated for ten years in the blink of an eye, and ten years later, I would become suspicious of him, so that the innocent guy back then became no longer innocent.
And although I have been practicing all the way from the golden elixir realm to the middle Nascent Soul stage, I can see that I can break through to the legendary realm without waiting for the age when my master breaks through the realm.
But she couldn't be happy.
Walking in the pattering rain, it seemed that the imperial city was imprinted with Li Ye's aura.
The smell of that guy is everywhere in this street, in the Imperial Master's Mansion, and in this imperial city.
He brought thousands of troops and horses to fight all the way from southern Xinjiang. He dragged the second prince off the throne and helped the eldest prince to sit on it. His legendary story is spread all over the world. .
However, despite everyone cheering, she still wanted to say: "But I am lonely."
Although Xu Jingyun has been by her side, Ye Zhiqiu even spoke last night, telling her not to go to the Royal Academy anymore, but to stay in the Imperial Master's Mansion and get married when Li Ye comes back.
To practice, her husband is there and her master is there.
However, she still felt very lonely. The little boy fighting with her in the snow had someone else's shadow in her heart. Even though Mu Mu had left the Five Realms, she knew that Li Ye could not forget him.
From the Tianshan Mountains to the Imperial City, from the Imperial City to the Prajna Temple, and from the Prajna Temple to the Southern Xinjiang War, it turned out that the girl who had been following that guy was another girl, the little girl he brought back from the Tianshan Mountains.
But she had already left him more than ten years ago.
This is neither Li Ye's fault nor her fault.
It can only be said that fate played tricks on the two of them again and again.
So much so that Princess Wutong, who appeared later, followed Tang Qiuyu to the Tianshan Mountains, Fangcun Mountain, and even the battlefield in southern Xinjiang... But she had been hiding in the distance to practice.
This familiar yet unfamiliar guy actually forged a sword for the later Princess Wutong, Sword Cloud Fengming.
The spring rain, like cow hair, quietly climbed onto her face, wet her hair, and even soaked her clothes. As a last resort, she had to use her true energy to evaporate the moisture from her hair and clothes.
But the trace of wetness in my heart could not go away no matter what.
She really wanted to run to the Prajna Temple in Fangcun Mountain right now and ask that guy for a clear explanation.
But Nalan Yu told her that at this time, Li Ye and Tang Qiuyu had already gone into the mountains to collect herbs. She didn't even know that it would take several months to go into the mountains this time.
What made her feel even more incredible was that.
Nalan Yu also told everyone an even more shocking news. The guy decided to travel all the way from the Tianshan Sword Sect in the Beixuan Region to the Tianshan Mountains in the East Xuan Region.
Li Ye wants to return from the Tianshan Mountains in the Beixuan Region to the Tianshan Mountains in the Dongxuan Region, and then back to Fengyun City.
crazy!
When Li Hongxiu got the news, he cursed, "This guy is crazy."
In the entire Five Realms, I have never heard of anyone daring to cross the forbidden life zone on Tianshan Mountain, never before.
When Ye Zhiqiu heard about it, he frowned and turned into the character Sichuan, and the master stopped talking.
Only the husband replied softly: "Why are you worried about him? Doesn't he also have a young apprentice at the Foundation Establishment Realm? The child's grandfather and father are not afraid, so why are you worried?"
The husband is proud of his disciples, and the emperor and empress are also proud of the dynasty's national master. There is no one before or after him, except the national master.
The spring rain is pouring, and I am worried about killing people.
The young lady wandered alone on the street for two hours. Finally, Xu Jingyun and Ye Zhiqiu found her outside Hua Man Lou. Ye Zhiqiu pulled the young lady onto the carriage, and the three of them hurried to the Imperial Master's Mansion.
That night, the young lady had a fever. Xu Jingyun was so anxious that she had to invite her husband and Li Hongxiu over. Ye Zhiqiu also came over when he heard the commotion.
The gentleman took the young lady's pulse, and then showed a strange expression on his face.
"Supposedly, they are all practicing in the Nascent Soul Realm. How could they have a fever just because they were caught in a spring rain?" Xu Jingyun said, looking at the three of them.
Ye Zhiqiu took her hand and said, "Isn't there a sir? Don't worry."
The gentleman looked at the three of them and stayed for a long time before saying: "Wu Shuang is suffering from a heart problem, probably because of Ye'er. I will go back to the room and prepare some herbs to boil for her to reduce the fever and calm her nerves. She will probably have to rest for a month and a half."
Li Hongxiu glanced at him and said, "Didn't Li Ye get a high fever inexplicably on Tianshan Mountain a few years ago? In the end, Xiaoqing went up and prepared the concoction for him to take..."
When Xu Jingyun heard this, he asked in surprise: "The Imperial Master also suffered from this strange disease in Tianshan?"
The husband nodded and said: "Although the heart medicine still needs a heart medicine doctor, Ye'er and Mr. Tang have already gone deep into Fangcun Mountain and will not come out of the mountain for a few months. We can only comfort her now."
The husband and Li Hongxiu were not disgusted with Shangguan Wushuang. The two had been engaged since childhood. Later, Lin Yueru also expressed that she wanted her sister to marry Li Ye.
However, although the two had misunderstandings again and again, fortunately they never reached the stage where Dongfang Yu'er did.
Xu Jingyun knew that this matter was very complicated. How could she not feel distressed when her precious apprentice collapsed due to this sudden heartache.
Just as the husband was about to leave to prepare the medicine, the unconscious lady suddenly started talking in her sleep.
"Junior brother, someone wants to steal the military horses you brought back from the grassland... They also want to go to the grassland in southern Xinjiang to purchase... You hurry up and stop them..."
Li Hongxiu was stunned, stepped forward and took her hand and asked: "Wushuang, where did you hear the news?"
"I don't know. I listen to people passing by on the road... or in the wine shop..." The fainting young lady actually replied to Li Hongxiu's words in a daze.
The gentleman glanced at Li Hongxiu and said, "Let her rest, and we'll go back to cook the medicine. Master Xu, take care of her here. Call us if you need anything."
Xu Jingyun responded and watched her husband leave with Li Hongxiu, while Ye Zhiqiu stayed.
"This guy, don't take it personally if he has thoughts. If it doesn't work out, can't we help find a solution together?"
Ye Zhiqiu held the young lady's hand, with a look of distress on his face.
From the beginning of Chunfeng Academy, she regarded the young lady as her daughter-in-law. However, later on, the young lady followed Xu Jingyun to Phoenix Mountain, and then the distance gradually widened.
Xu Jingyun also sighed secretly, thinking that Dongfang Yu'er had already learned from Dongfang Yu'er's mistakes before, and the master and apprentice would still make mistakes. She was half responsible for the little sister's matter.
Ye Zhiqiu looked at her, sighed, and said: "Let her rest at home for some time, and wait for sir to think of a solution. The emperor will always have contact with Ye'er."
"I hope Ye'er will come back soon and arrange their marriage as soon as possible, so that everyone can feel relieved."
Ye Zhiqiu looked at Xu Jingyun and smiled bitterly.
Xu Jingyun shook her head and responded: "I guess the master is focused on cultivation, otherwise he wouldn't hide in Cunshan Mountain and refuse to come back."
"There's nothing I can do about it. Neither my husband nor my husband are in a hurry, so it's useless for me to be anxious, right?" Ye Zhilai sighed quietly.
Within half an hour, Li Hongxiu came in with a bowl of concoction. With the help of Xu Jingyun, Ye Zhiqiu carefully fed the young lady spoonful by spoonful.
"What Wushuang said just now..." Ye Zhiqiu looked at Li Hongxiu and asked.
Li Hongxiu glanced at her and said with a smile: "These are things that men worry about. Let my husband go find the emperor. Isn't there that guy Nalan Yu? He is Li Ye's eldest brother."
Seeing that Li Hongxiu was unwilling to say anything, Xu Jingyun and Ye Zhiqiu thought they could only wait until the young lady woke up tomorrow before asking.
The lingering spring rain pattered outside the window, and the people in the house also began to feel sad.
...
At half past midnight the next day, after finishing breakfast, the gentleman put the herbs to be cooked today on the table and asked Li Hongxiu to cook them. He turned around and left the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, heading towards the palace.
He had to find the emperor to find out.
"When I came out, the little girl hadn't woken up yet. I felt that this matter was not simple. Who among the five regions would want to buy military horses? Are they thinking of going to the grassland to buy them back?"
Sitting in the emperor's study, the gentleman asked quietly.
Yan Wuxue glanced at Nalan Yu, who shook his head and said he didn't know.
The emperor shook his head and said: "This matter is weird. We need to investigate it carefully."
The gentleman nodded and reminded: "This matter is not simple. What do ordinary people need military horses? This is the prairie war horse that Ye'er specially brought back from southern Xinjiang. If someone leaks this news, then where did they get the news? ?”
The emperor looked at Nalan Yu quietly, and all the troops and horses brought back from southern Xinjiang were under his control.
After being silent for a long time, Nalan Yu murmured: "Did someone leak this?"
The emperor still looked at him calmly.
The gentleman frowned and suddenly said: "Could it be that someone from Beihai colluded with some people and wanted to start with military horses. After all, if there is a war one day, where will the horses from Beihai come from to fight with the five regions?"
Yan Wuxue said slowly: "It seems that the second prince did not want to be quiet after leaving the imperial city."
"Then what are we going to do? We can't close the city, right?" After the emperor learned about Beihai's incident in Qingzhou, he knew that something was going to happen. He smiled bitterly and looked at his husband and Yan Wuxue.
"Let them make trouble first, let the queen write a letter to her father and brother, and send it to the grassland quickly." The gentleman had thought of a way to fight back on the way here.
Nalanyu asked: "What about the imperial city and the military camp?"
"Imperial City is simpler..." The emperor told him his method. The emperor breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a smile: "The Imperial Master is not in the Imperial City, so we all rely on you here."
Yan Wuxue also smiled and said: "I guess no one will be able to escape this time. Sir, this strategy is very clever."
The gentleman looked at the three men and shook his head, and said seriously: "If we catch the suspect, we must prevent them from committing suicide. This is the most important thing. We must find the mastermind behind this."
Nalan looked at him and smiled and said: "The national teacher has taught me this. If you catch such people, first gag them, and then check their collars. I will ask people to pay special attention to these two points.
The gentleman looked at the three of them and said seriously: "Inform the Lord of Nanxuan Domain to guard the three passes of Southern Xinjiang and not even a single grassland army horse is allowed to pass. As for the military camp in the imperial city, we can just wait for a few days with peace of mind."
The emperor looked at Nalan Yu and said, "This time, I'm counting on General Nalan."
"Your Majesty, Sir, would you like me to go back to the military camp right now to clear out the number of tactical war horses?"
Nalan Yu is anxious to find the person who wants to steal the horse.
The gentleman looked at him, shook his head, and replied quietly: "Don't be anxious yet, let them put on a good show in the imperial city."
Yan Wuxue smiled and said, "Then we close the door and beat the dog?"
...
