Gu Jianghe and Mi Wu were dumbfounded, staring blankly at the three identical carriages in front of them. In the first carriage, Qingyang had already got half of his body into the carriage, and kept tinkering with Jiu Xia beside the carriage. He kept urging her: "Qingyang, hurry up, there are still a lot of things left."
"It's coming, it's coming, don't rush it." Qingyang said as he got out of his head. Jiuxia immediately handed over the three heaters in her hands. Behind her, there were four girls standing, each holding a hand. They were all filled with a large package of things.
Two sleek red-maned horses were tied with saddle ropes, pulling a carriage with a red-brown wooden body. They stayed where they were, but they were panting from time to time, and occasionally they would slap their hooves and spit out a breath of white. gas.
The body of the carriage is carved with various flowers and plants, and is surrounded by gauze, which is constantly fluttering in the breeze. There are also silver bells hanging on the four corners of the roof, making a misty ring.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk," Zhan Wu looked at them and shook his head, "Jianghe, I haven't been here for three years, and all these girls trained by you are like mother-in-laws."
Gu Jianghe was even more dumbfounded. He quickly stepped forward and held Jiuxia and Qingyang one by one. "Okay, okay, what are you two doing? We are just going out. It's not like we won't come back. You guys are moving." ah."
"Valley Master, you are so afraid of the cold and have not been out of the valley for so many years, so naturally you have to prepare everything." Jiuxia said matter-of-factly. At the same time, Qingyang nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, expressing his agreement.
"Okay, okay." Gu Jianghe hooked one of them with one hand, "It's my fault. I know you two are good for me. Forget about loading them into the car. Let them take the rest back. I want to come here. , it shouldn't be too far away." Although the master said so, Gu Jianghe knew very well in his heart that ten years had passed and the sea of people was huge. It was not easy to find someone, not to mention that now he was still relying on a person. For people who have only known each other for a few days, no matter what, it's good to just take this trip and go out to relax. "It's enough to have you two with me this time. It's more useful than this car of things."
Knowing that Gu Jianghe's temper was accurate, Qingyang pouted and finally jumped out of the car: "In this case, the Valley Master must listen to me and Jiuxia when he goes out."
Mi Wu smiled helplessly and walked over. She reached out and touched Gu Jianghe's head. Without sighing, the little girl she rescued back from the valley had finally grown up: "Jianghe, my teacher." I know that you have made a lot of determination to go out this time, and I only hope that during this trip, you can find this medicine for yourself."
Gu Jianghe looked into Mi Wu's eyes with a bright expression: "Master."
"Go, it's been ten years, it's time to get your past back."

Imperial City
A black golden nanmu plaque hangs on the top of the red and vermillion-lacquered gate, with three large characters inscribed on it: Mingyue Palace. A crescent moon slowly slid past the gate of Mingyue Palace and stopped at its top, casting a hazy yellow light inside the high wall. Late at night, Mingyue Palace seemed very quiet. Looking from a distance, only the dim lanterns revealed a faint light.
In the main hall, there are several huge red pillars that are as large as several people can surround them. On each pillar can be a lifelike golden dragon swirling around.
On a huge huanghuali table, there is a translucent nine-turn glazed lamp, made of five-color glazed glass. The movement slowly rotates, causing the light to penetrate through the layers of glazed tiles, seeming to illuminate the entire dormitory. After a few cases, there was a man sitting with his eyes closed and concentrating.
On her head, she wears a purple-gold crown inlaid with jade, a golden two-dragon bead-grabbing arrow sleeves, and a black palace sash with long spikes and flowers, on which hangs a piece of warm and translucent mutton-fat white jade.
The eyes under a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows are slightly closed, but still look slender. If they open their eyes, they must be a pair of passionate peach blossom eyes.
Beside the chair, a palace maid in pink palace attire held a cattail leaf fan that was almost half her height in her hand, gently fanning it for him.
At this time, the footsteps of "dengdengdeng" entered the hall. The sound was slightly urgent, but it seemed a bit loud in this quiet night.
The visitor quickly walked to the side of the chair, waved his hand, and the palace maid waving a cattail leaf fan immediately understood. She bowed silently and then stepped back. Seeing the palace maid leave, the visitor naturally bent down slightly and folded her hands. In front of him, his orchid fingers were slightly raised, and there was a gray whisk in his arm. He whispered softly: "Your Majesty, a secret agent has come to report that Master Wen has entered Yunzhong City."
There was no reply, and the visitor did not dare to move rashly, keeping his slightly bent posture motionless.
As if he heard it after a long time, Xiao Yanjing finally slowly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "How is the situation?"
"Before Grand Master Wen entered Yunzhong City, he brought fifty of his subordinates with him."
The deep black and golden eyes suddenly revealed a dangerous aura: "Eunuch Li."
"The slave is here."
"You have served my father for nearly twenty years. What do you think my father had in mind when he tried so hard to promote Yunzhong City?" Xiao Yanjing thought thoughtfully, rubbing his right thumb and index finger back and forth, and asked As he spoke, his eyes did not drift to Li Fuzhen beside him.
Li Fuzhen's hair under his black gauze hat was almost gray. A few black sandalwood beads hanging down from the brim of the hat swayed slightly in his ears, and bumped against each other from time to time, but they did not make any sound.
"When the late emperor was able to ascend the throne, Qiu Moyuan, the old city lord of Yunzhong City, was the biggest helper. He was also a well-spoken master in the world at that time. The late emperor also did not want to give up the power of the world, so he had this thought."
"Then tell me, if I am doing this now, does it count as violating the wishes of the late emperor?" A question-like sound came from the front of his head. Li Fuzhen's chest tightened, but his face remained calm, and he replied as if nothing had happened. He said: "The emperor is famous. Since he made such a decision, it must have been the emperor's consideration, and the late emperor will not blame him."
Xiao Yanjing raised his eyes and looked forward. Although he was so far away from the gate, his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate everything and look at the dark night sky.
"Now Yunzhong City controls almost half of our dynasty's commercial lifeline, and its position in the world can now be echoed by hundreds of people. I am afraid that the power of the imperial court will no longer be able to suppress them. Once they have different intentions, for the imperial court , will be a serious problem."
Xiao Yanjing's eyes exuded a dangerous light.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Master Wen will definitely be able to complete this mission." Li Fuzhen bent his waist again and bowed a little deeper, "I will give the order now and let the secret guards do their best to help Master Wen complete this mission." Task."
"Go down."
"yes."
Although he was an old man from two dynasties, Li Fuzhen still bowed respectfully and retreated to the door. The two palace maids at the side closed the door before he dared to stand up. There was a slight soreness in his waist. Immediately, a young eunuch with delicate features ran forward, held Li Fuzhen's hand, and rubbed his sore waist with the other hand.
"Master, you are not young anymore. The Emperor has given you permission not to salute. Why do you still suffer from this burden?"
"You're talking nonsense." When Li Fuzhen heard this, he immediately glared at the little eunuch next to him, "You've been with me for so long, but you haven't made any progress at all."
The little eunuch immediately panicked and didn't dare to rest his hands at all.
Li Fuzhen sighed and said: "Xiao Guizi, if you want to live well in this palace, you must learn what to say and what not to say, what to do and what not to do."
"My slave knows."
"Go back."
Li Fuzhen waved his hand, and Xiao Guizi immediately took his hand and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, Li Fuzhen turned back and took a deep look at the closed door of the palace.
In his early years, the late Emperor was a fool because of the stupidity of the previous dynasty and was looked down upon by the people. Therefore, he rose up and worked for the welfare of the people. Although he was a bit foolish and unreasonable in his later years, he was at least somewhat beyond his capabilities. But this new emperor, Li Fuzhen felt a little afraid. When the prince was still the second prince, Xiao Yanjing, who was still the prince, was calm, calm, low-key, and even secretive, making it almost impossible for other princes to feel him. But Xiao Yanjing, now on the throne, gradually showed his determination to kill. Yunzhong City has long been entrenched in the Zhou Dynasty, and if it were to be eradicated, it would probably cause a bloody storm.
Pity these people, they can only live in peace for a few decades.

"Drive, drive" "Pah, pah"
As the sound of the whip hitting the horse's butt became farther and farther away, the two red-brown wooden carriages gradually moved out of sight.
On the stone formation, stood a gorgeous woman.
Over a floor-length skirt with flowers, she wears a blouse with flowers and smoke. Her black hair is tied behind her head with a branch of Begonia flowers. The bright red Begonia flowers bloom in the black hair, making her look even more delicate.
"Is it right or wrong to let her out of the valley?" The woman murmured to herself as she looked at the shadow of the carriage gradually disappearing.
"Valley Master," Hongzhuang appeared next to Mi Wu, "Jiang Valley Master has a depression in her heart. Unless she finds a medicine, her body may not be cured by any medicine or stone in the world, so you don't have to be too nervous. Worried.”
"That's right. The matter has come to an end. Everything depends on God's will." Miwu sighed, and suddenly seemed to remember something. He lifted up the flower-length skirt on his body with one hand and said to Hongzhuang with a look of disgust on his face, " I said Hongzhuang, what are you preparing for me? Such an exaggerated skirt, look at the gold threads and emerald beads embroidered on it, it's almost killing me."
"Huh?" Hongzhuang's eyes were bright and lively, her lips moved slightly, and two cute pear dimples were exposed on her cheeks, "This is what you asked me to prepare for you when you sneaked out of the valley. You haven't had time to wear it yet."
"How can it be?!"
"Why, after three years of not seeing each other, have you finally realized how exaggerated you used to be?"
"Hongzhuang!" Miwu's roar resounded in the sky.
