March 27, the 24th year of Zhaohua.
After a spring rain.
The wheat seedlings in the field are already green.
The willows on both sides of the official road leading from Lizhou City to Chongqing Mansion are also green.
There are also many unknown wild flowers blooming on the field ridges, at the foot of the hillsides, and beside the streams.
There are already butterflies waving their wings and dancing among the flowers.
There is a faint fresh smell in the air.
The feeling of spring is getting stronger.
Li Chenan and his party also came.
The team is much stronger than before.
When passing through Jianmen Pass, Li Chenan met with the Tiger Camp led by An Zizi.
He and Xiao Baozi still rode the little black donkey and walked slowly on this official road.
He didn't seem in any hurry.
He seemed to have forgotten his love for the mountains and rivers of Shuzhou.
An Zizai on the side was a little anxious.
He thought that it had been a long time since he had seen General Yuan Suyuan.
There are also those former robes in Shuzhou.
I wonder how well they have lived here these years.
It should be good.
After all, this is the foundation of Zhongli Mansion. After all, it is far away from the battlefield and there will be no danger.
After meeting Li Chenan at Jianmen Pass, he felt much more relaxed.
When I came to Shuzhou, there were almost no big forces that would pose a threat to Li Chenan.
He also thought that he could find the eldest son of the emperor as soon as possible and welcome him back to Kyoto... After that, Li Chenan would go to the Kingdom of Wu, and he... would come here.
If the boys from the Tiger Camp are willing, they can all stay here.
"Why are you walking so slowly?"
An Zizai turned to look at Li Chenan and asked.
Li Chenan looked left and right, and said with a smile: "The beauty of Shuzhou lies in its wonder, beauty, danger, and heroism!"
"Look at that mountain..."
Li Chenan stretched out his hand and pointed forward: "Although I don't know its name, the majesty of its figure is far beyond what those mountains in the south of the Yangtze River can compare with."
"Look at that cliff again,"
Li Chenan pointed to the left again, "The cliff is so steep that it would be like cutting it with the sharp sword of the gods... It is so dangerous that it is difficult for a mountain ape to walk."
"But look at this large undulating wilderness!"
"Green grass, small flowers of various colors, butterflies dancing, bees busy, and birds jumping among them, it is a beautiful and wonderful picture!"
"What's even more ingenious is the waterfall on the cliff and the gurgling stream that meanders through the wilderness."
"After walking through the difficult Shu Road, seeing this beautiful scenery, I felt it was worth it."
"In life, we have to walk a lot of roads, but if we walk too fast, we will miss many wonderful scenery... That road will be wasted."
"So, what's the rush?"
Li Chenan suddenly spoke so eloquently that not only An Zi was stunned for a moment, but even Xiao Baozi's slender eyes opened wider——
After all, Xiao Baozi knew more about Li Chenan.
Li Chenan didn't slow down his schedule just for the so-called scenery!
"speak English!"
"Um... isn't it because your stomach pain just stopped? You walked too fast and bumpy. What if you start bleeding again?"
Xiao Baozi's face suddenly turned red. She raised her head and looked at the sky. It was still a little early before dark.
Then it would be good to walk slowly until dark.
Ning Chuchu had to find a place with water to camp.
Gotta take a shower.
An Zizai didn't know how Li Chenan came to be so leisurely and elegant, thinking that after all he was just a young man, a poet after all.
In essence, he is indeed different from a rough soldier.
This man of letters likes this tune.
Then let him.
Yes, we will reach Lizhou in two days' walk.
After walking for another seven or eight days, we will arrive at Chongqing Mansion.
It will eventually arrive.
Amu has no opinion on this.
Whether it was fast or slow, there was neither the wonderful scenery Li Chenan mentioned nor the urgency to hurry up in his eyes.
There was a hint of fear in his eyes.
Because Zhongli Ruoyu is in Chongqing Mansion and Zhongli Garden!
It has been more than half a year since I last saw Zhongli Ruoyu.
Qi Zhishan was in Kyoto, and they were two thousand miles apart. At the time when their love was at its strongest... would she miss him so much that she became ill?
When you arrive at Zhongli Garden and see Zhongli Ruoyu, what will it be like?
They were probably speechless.
There will never be a thousand lines of tears.
After receiving the emperor's eldest son, Zhongli Ruoyu should follow the team back to Kyoto.
She and Qi Zhishan will stay together forever in Kyoto, and she... will follow Li Chenan south again.
The only thing accompanying him is the knife on his back.
As for the rest...
"Brother, what are you thinking about?"
Wang Zhenghaoxuan's voice suddenly came to Amu's ears.
The voice pulled him out of his melancholy.
A smile appeared on his face as cold as a knife, "Your skills in making bear meat are getting better and better!"
Wang Zhenghaoxuan was immediately happy: "You didn't lie to me?"
"Senior brother, I have only been deceived by you, senior brother has never deceived you!"
"...Senior brother, you really don't have a girl you like?"
The smile on Amu's face slowly faded, and he pondered for three breaths, "I have a knife, and the knife is always with me. Why do you always think about the girl?"
"Senior brother, it's very cold to sleep holding a knife."
Amu turned around and glanced at Wang Zhenghaoxuan, "Have you ever slept with a girl in your arms?"
Wang Zhenghaoxuan shook his head and pointed to the two people on the back of the little black donkey in front of him: "Senior brother, take a look."
"They were carried from Guangling City to here... I originally thought they would get tired of us halfway, but they still have no intention of separating."
"So I was thinking, there must be some flavor in it that you and I don't know about!"
"You will get tired of dog meat if you eat too much, but instead of getting tired of it, they get closer and closer..."
"When we were in Jiangnan, the line of sight between the two of us could still pass through. But now if you go and take a look, there is no gap at all!"
"This shows what?"
Amu pondered for three breaths, "It's too early to draw this conclusion. You can wait until summer arrives and then take a look."
Wang Zhenghaoxuan chuckled:
"If they can still hold each other so tightly in the hot summer, then senior brother should find a girl."
Xiao Wu looked at their mouths from the side.
Then his eyes also fell on Li Chenan's back. The corner of his mouth curled up, thinking that Amu might have to find a girl.
at this time.
Just turned a corner.
Li Chenan suddenly ordered the team to stop.
Everyone raised their heads and looked forward——
There is a rainbow in the sky.
Not far in front of the team, there is a small stream.
Across the creek is a large meadow.
Sitting on the grass beside the stream was a girl dressed in white!
There was a sword stuck at her side.
The girl had her back to them.
Looking around, the rainbow is right above the girl's head.
There was a gentle breeze, blowing the long hair of the girl's shawl, and also making the ribbon around her waist flutter.
The girl's shoulders moved slightly, and then, a sweet piano sound spread like invisible water waves, and floated to everyone's ears.
Then, there was singing.
The singing is melodious and beautiful, resonating with the sound of the piano, like the sound of nature.
What she sang was the song "One Cut Plum" written by Li Chenan!
