Although I was very reluctant to leave, after all, this trip was not for sightseeing. There were tens of thousands of soldiers waiting outside Lamei City. So two days later, everyone set off as planned and continued to the royal city.
Before setting off, Asher also left a map, which detailed the route to the South China Sea and where to find a guide in order to successfully reach Ranshuang Island.
"Thank you." Liancheng Gu Yue smiled and carefully put the map away.
In the early morning, the Snow Wolf stood on the snow-covered mountaintop, motionless, until he watched the backs of the crowd disappear at the last bend, and then he gently lowered his head.
A small jade pendant is hanging on its neck. It is the most radiant color, but it is carved into a somewhat funny shape of beef jerky.
It is Xiao Fenghuang’s treasure, and she never lets anyone else touch it.
"Chirp." As if knowing that they would never see each other again, the fur ball lay in the nest, dazed and motionless.
"What should I do?" Oliver was a little worried.
"If we are destined, we will see it again someday." Asher rubbed it with his fingers, "Didn't the master say that day that this little thing is blessed, no one can compare to it."
The morning sun rose slowly from the mountains, instantly emitting countless golden rays of light, which spread warmth on everyone. The green wild fruits hanging on the trees were like small lanterns, and under the shade of the red leaves, they looked like small gems.
The breeze brings the most refreshing smell.
Autumn has arrived and winter has not yet arrived. It is indeed the best season of the year...
In this battle, the Chu army won a complete victory without losing a single soldier. It had already spread in the royal city. Shen Qianfan, who had conquered the east and west at a young age, was regarded as a victorious existence. Therefore, before daybreak, the people scrambled to get out of bed and crowded on the street to take a seat, carrying countless eggs, bacon, vegetables, fresh fish and flower petals in their hands---eggs, bacon, these foods were naturally prepared. Give it to the soldiers. You must know that fighting is very hard, let alone fighting in the snowy fields. You can't even see the roots and leaves. You must make up for it when you come back. As for the petals, they must be prepared for Mr. Shen. After all, if he hadn't cast the spell, the Chu army would not have won a complete victory. With a wave of his hand, the sky and the earth would change color, and the sand and rocks would fly. Thinking about it, it takes a lot of cultivation, and it is simply heartbreaking. .
A smiling boss with golden teeth stood on the street, directing more than a dozen of his men to line up so that when Oliver came over, he could scatter petals at the fastest speed. He was the largest bookseller in the city. Because he had a high degree of commercial foresight, he had already spent a lot of money to gather a large number of scholars and writers at the beginning of this battle, and brainstormed to write a series of brand-new storybooks. Because these storybooks had novel plots and descriptions, they were in line with the people's growing cultural needs, so they made a fortune. Young Master Shen shed a crystal tear in the snow, instantly melting the glaciers. Just thinking about it would be very touching, not to mention that he had cast a spell against the sky to help the Chu army, and finally fell weakly in the arms of Palace Master Qin with blood all over his body. This righteousness is completely worthy of being recorded in history! The people burst into tears and felt that they were going to be sick.
"Chirp!" After being depressed for the past few days, Maoqiu's mood has recovered a little. He is lying on the window of the carriage, pushing open the curtain and looking out, his little black eyes showing a little curiosity.
The road was a bit bumpy, and Oliver was afraid that it would accidentally fall out, so he reached out and held it back in his arms.
"Chirp." The fur ball looked up at its mother - it wanted to go out!
"Take you to ride a horse?" Asher said, "The people are all kicked out early in the morning, so we can't stay in the carriage all the time."
"Yeah." Oliver was very straightforward about this. After all, it was just for fun, and it wasn't a big deal. Besides, he had long been accustomed to being watched.
Asher pulled his collar and carried him out of the carriage.
Maoqiu squatted on his father's shoulder, squinting his eyes to enjoy the wind, with messy hair on his head. He felt a little comfortable and even spread his cute little wings.
The people guarding outside the city gate were the first to see the Chu army, so they cheered loudly. Countless fireworks exploded in the sky and firecrackers crackled, making it even more lively than the New Year's Day.
"Ah Huang." Mu Hanye sat in the carriage and asked with expectation, "Can't you really go out and have a look?"
Wong Tai Sin handed him a cup of tea and said, "It's a great victory for the Chu army. It's not convenient for us to join in the fun."
"That's fine." Mu Hanye put her arms around his shoulders and comforted himself, "It's not bad in the carriage. It's convenient to do things."
Wong Tai Sin is alert, "What is convenient to do?"
Mu Hanye was extremely fluent, "Of course it's a beast's business."
Huang Taixian's chest felt tight. How could such a thing be natural? There were hundreds of people outside. If one of them was accidentally seen, he would be dead.
"Ah Huang, you can sit in my arms first." Mu Hanye was still designing the pose.
Wong Tai Sin decisively lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage, fearing that he would be delayed if he was too late.
Mu Hanye curled the corners of his mouth, shook the teacup in his hand, bent down and followed him out.
The two of them were riding the same horse, Purple Swallow Light, and they were so affectionate and sweet that they looked like a perfect match.
So when it comes to showing affection in public, King Qi Jue will not be left behind...
Outside Xuanwu Gate, Chu Yuan had already led all the officials to personally welcome them. Shen Qianfan, wearing silver armor, rode his horse from a distance, his young face full of vigor. Although the tens of thousands of Chu soldiers behind him had gone through a long journey, they were still energetic and not tired at all, and even the sound of running was uniform. The golden battle flag fluttered in the wind, and the word "Chu" on it was written in a vigorous stroke, declaring that the country's territory and sovereignty were inviolable, and even if it was just an inch, it would not be allowed to be coveted and trampled by foreign enemies.
"Long live the emperor!" Shen Qianfan turned over and dismounted. Shen Qianfan took two quick steps and supported him. "General, you have worked hard. No need to be polite."
"Long live our emperor!" Tens of thousands of soldiers knelt on one knee, their cheers shaking the heavens and the earth.
That evening, a grand dinner party kicked off in the palace. The table was filled with all kinds of delicious food, there was singing and dancing, lanterns were swaying, and civil and military officials raised their glasses to congratulate each other. Even Chu Yuan, who was usually self-disciplined, was a little drunk when the party ended.
"Are you drunk today?" In the bedroom, Ye Jin grabbed Shen Qianfeng's face to check.
"How could that happen?" Shen Qianfeng said, "I haven't even had five drinks. I know you don't like me drinking."
"I don't like you getting drunk." Ye Jin patted him, "Wash up early, I'm tired today."
Shen Qianfeng responded and went out to ask the eunuch to bring him some hot water, but he saw Chu Yuan coming over here, "Your Majesty."
"I came to see Xiaojin." Chu Yuan looked into the hall, "Is he asleep?"
"No." Shen Qianfeng stepped aside to get out of the way, "Your Majesty, please help yourself."
Chu Yuan nodded, "Thank you very much."
Ye Jin was fiddling with some medicine bottles at the table. When she saw him come in, she was stunned and asked, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"I thought I'd come see you first." Chu Yuan sat at the table.
Ye Jin pouted, "What do I have to see?"
"There are too many people today, and I don't even have the chance to say a few words to you." Chu Yuan had already figured out his temper, so he didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, he laughed out loud after he finished speaking.
"What are you laughing at?" Ye Jin was puzzled.
"When I first found you, Mr. Shen told me that you have a hard mouth but a soft heart, and you can make people angry to death with just one word." Chu Yuan said, "He also said that I would get used to it over time."
I didn't think so at the time, but now it seems that I am really used to it.
"Go to bed now." Ye Jin obviously didn't intend to discuss this issue with him, and just pushed the bottle on the table over. "They are all for health care. The method of taking them is posted here. Remember to take them on time every day and go to bed early at night."
Chu Yuan laughed, "Yeah."
"Do you have anything else to do?" Seeing him sitting still, Ye Jin began to consider whether to beat him out.
"I came here to thank you." Chu Yuan looked at him, his tone was very sincere, "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid there wouldn't be so many people willing to help me."
Ye Jin:...
"Go to bed early." Chu Yuan stood up. "Tomorrow morning I will ask the imperial kitchen to prepare your favorite osmanthus cake and Meishan tea."
"Um..." Seeing that he was about to go out, Ye Jin hesitated for a long time before calling him.
Chu Yuan couldn't laugh or cry, "That one?" In the whole world, he was the only one who dared to call himself that.
"You really don't plan to have a queen?" Ye Jin looked at the roof and showed some concern for his brother. "Or marry a few c0ncubines. At least it will be more lively. You can't be alone all the time."
"Are those old ministers looking for you in private again?" Chu Yuan frowned slightly, feeling somewhat helpless.
"Everyone has good intentions." Ye Jin said, "I'm just asking you to get a wife, not going to the sword mountain."
"No need." Chu Yuan said, "This is not bad now."
"That's right, you're not the one!" Ye Jin put her hands on her H!ps angrily when she heard that.
Chu Yuan was startled for a moment, thinking that he would roar as he pleased.
"Ahem." Ye Jin also felt that he seemed a little fierce, so he restrained himself a little and said earnestly, "Being an emperor is not like becoming a monk, so there is no reason not to get married."
"Let's talk about it later." Chu Yuan smiled, "Go to bed early and I'll come see you tomorrow."
Seeing that he obviously didn't want to talk about this, Ye Jin had to swallow the rest of his words, watched him leave the hall, and seriously considered whether or not to call him "brother" just for the sake of courtesy.
But in the end he didn't scream.
It has nothing to do with me at all!
Valley Master Ye sat cross-legged on the bed, looking up at the sky with pride.
All because he ran too fast.
After all, this kind of thing takes time to develop.
"The emperor is gone?" Shen Qianfeng asked after entering the room.
"Yeah." Ye Jin held up her cheeks, "I didn't try to persuade him. He doesn't seem to want to get married and have children at all."
"Could he already have someone in his heart?" Shen Qianfeng helped him take off his clothes.
"Will it?" Ye Jin was doubtful after hearing this, "It shouldn't be, I haven't heard anyone mention it."
"How can you know everything if you don't stay with the emperor all day long?" Shen Qianfeng untied his hair tie.
"That's true." Ye Jin scratched his chin, and after a while he said, "But it still doesn't make sense. He is the emperor, he can marry whoever he likes, why hide it?"
"I can't tell." Shen Qianfeng hugged him into the bathtub and guessed, "Maybe there is something unspeakable?"
Ye Jin gasped when he heard this, "Could it be that he is impotent?"
Shen Qianfeng couldn't laugh or cry, "What I mean is that if you like someone you shouldn't like, it has nothing to do with your status. Even the emperor can only keep it in his heart."
"Someone you shouldn't like?" Ye Jin said with disdain, "If you like someone who is married, it's better not to marry him." At least if you don't marry him, there is a possibility of cure, but you have to interfere in other people's marriage affairs.
Shen Qianfeng smiled and shook his head, leaning over to k!ss him, "Don't think about it for now, take a good shower."
"Oh." Ye Jin agreed absentmindedly, then glanced down and said in shock, "When did you take off my clothes?!" Why were you in the bathtub!
Shen Qianfeng: ...
This god has gone too far.
"Ah Huang." On the other side, Mu Hanye was leaning on the bed and called him.
"You look like a complete fool." Wong Tai Sin wrung out his hand towel.
Mu Hanye was surprised, "You are so connected. You actually know what this king wants to ask."
It's always the same sentence, it's hard not to know it! Wong Tai Sin sat by the bed and helped him wipe his face.
"Ah Huang..." Mu Hanye called again.
"Dreaming." Wong Tai Sin quickly refused.
Mu Hanye praised, "Guessed it again."
Wong Tai Sin was so funny that he helped him take off his clothes, shoes and socks, "Don't drink like this again in the future."
"You're not drunk." Mu Hanye pulled him into his arms.
"You still call this not drunk?" Wong Tai Sin pinched his face.
Mu Hanye turned over and pressed on him, lowering his head and biting him like a big dog. When he was sober, Huang Daxian couldn't do anything to him, not to mention that he was drunk now, so he had no choice but to compromise, and only frowned slightly and hid when he was too much.
"Xiaoyuan." Mu Hanye held his earlobe in his mouth.
Wong Tai Sin put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Yeah."
"Let's go to Jiangnan early." Mu Hanye whispered in his ear, "I can't wait any longer."
"Okay." Huang Daxian said, "Say goodbye to Palace Master Qin and the others tomorrow, and we'll leave the day after tomorrow."
Mu Hanye was delighted to hear this, "As expected, Ah Huang is also eager to leave so that we can live together forever."
"Thinking too much." Huang Taixian said calmly, "I am afraid that you will get into trouble if you stay in the palace for a long time, so it is better to leave early, so as not to be disliked by Emperor Chu and be embarrassed if the news spreads."
Mu Hanye froze when he heard this, with a very aggrieved expression on his face. He lay on top of him and pretended to be dead, refusing to go down.
Huang Daxian rubbed his head, with an unconcealable smile in his eyes.
On the other side, the little phoenix was standing on a jade-carved phoenix tree inlaid with gold, silver and agate, and its little black eyes were shining!
This is a gift sent by someone from Chu Yuan. Whether it is the conquest of Rakshasa Kingdom or the annihilation of Zhou Jue, Zhuiying Palace plays an indispensable role this time. However, Asher is rich and indifferent to fame and fortune, so instead of giving other gifts, it is better to It's better to give it to Little Phoenix, and the facts have proved that this route is indeed correct---Maoqiu was very happy to receive the gift, and Oliver was also happy. When Oliver was happy, Asher naturally made no sense. Not happy.
"Chirp!" The ball of fur pushed aside a few short feathers behind it and felt that it was shining and very powerful. It was also looking forward to getting the melon seeds and throwing them high.
But unfortunately, neither his parents noticed.
The bed tent was swaying slightly, and it was natural to live up to such a beautiful scene.
"Call me husband." Asher held his wrist and pressed it to the side of the pillow.
Shen Xiaoshou said in a loud voice, "Don't scream!"
Asher scratched his belly, "Then we'll do it all night long."
Oliver:...
Are you serious, young man? You will die of exhaustion if you do that.
"Will you scream?" Asher put his forehead against his.
"Can I stop umming when I yell?" Oliver asked.
"No." Asher refused.
Oliver's chest is tight, so what's the point of asking me!
"There's nothing to do at night anyway." Asher calmly unbuttoned his clothes.
Shen Xiaoshou burst into tears when he heard this. Who would have anything to do at night? Everyone has to sleep!
Asher lowered his head and k!ssed his chest heavily, leaving a red mark.
I really... like it so much...
As the night got darker, the imperial guards were patrolling the palace as usual, but suddenly there was a sound of fighting in front of them. Their first reaction was that an assassin was coming, so they hurriedly chased after them to see what happened.
"How many times have I told you not to hit me in the face!" The Jianghu mascot burst into tears. God can tell you that we are just a little bit handsome, but we are chased and beaten by foreign friends.
If this continues, there will really be no way to be friends.
The secret guards of Sun Moon Villa stood aside and watched in a friendly manner in the early stage. Later, when they saw that the shadow guards of the Seven Absolutes seemed to be having a great time fighting, they joined the battle without hesitation. After all, the eldest master was already asleep, so they wouldn't be discovered if they fought, right?
It’s really been a long time!
In an instant, the Imperial Garden was filled with smoke, flying sand and rocks.
The Imperial Guards stood aside, looking at each other in misery.
These legendary people in the world are truly unique.
The autumn night sky is extremely refreshing, even the stars are brighter, twinkling in the sky, more dazzling than the most precious gems.
The whole palace fell asleep in silence.
Half a year later, Sun and Moon Villa.
"Are you making Xiaojin angry again?!" Mrs. Shen raised her eyebrows and glared at her eldest son.
"I didn't." Shen Qianfeng felt so wronged that it was too late to hold it in his hand until it hurt, so he was not willing to cause trouble.
"Then why did he go out without eating breakfast?" Mrs. Shen said, "What are you doing?"
"I don't know." Shen Qianfeng shook his head.
Mrs. Shen immediately looked at him with a look like "You didn't even know this and you still said there was no quarrel."
Shen Qianfeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "He's not a child. He has his own things to do. He can't stay in the villa all the time. The weather has been hot recently and many people have suffered from heat stroke. He probably went to Renyi Hall to see patients and will be back later."
Renyi Hall is the largest charity hall in the city. On weekdays, wealthy families often donate oil and rice here. At the beginning of each month, Ye Jin often goes there to help everyone see illnesses and prescribe medicine, so the people respect him very much.
After seeing the last patient, the sun was already setting in the sky. Ye Jin stood up and stretched her legs. Just when she was about to pack her things and go back, the secret guard said at the door, "Valley Master, there is another...Patient." His tone was hesitant, as if he didn't know how to describe it.
"Is there anyone else?" Ye Jin sat back and said, "Let him come in."
"Go in and don't make any noise." The secret guard opened the door, but several children around seven or eight years old came rushing in.
Ye Jin was a little surprised when he saw this, but he has always liked children. Recently, he caught up with Shen Han and followed the old village owner to visit friends. He was panicking at first, so he smiled and said, "Who is sick?"
"It." A little boy handed over a little monkey.
Ye Jin:...
"It's really sick." Seeing that Ye Jin didn't take over for a long time, another kid said anxiously, "It can't walk because of the wounds caused by the whip."
Ye Jin put the little monkey on the table and saw that its fur was messy, there were many scars on its back, and its legs were limping. It was indeed seriously injured.
As if it knew that the man in front of it was a doctor, the little monkey squatted very obediently, looked at him with its round eyes, curled its tail, and was extremely obedient.
"Who injured it?" Ye Jin asked while preparing medicine.
"It's the juggling group at the intersection." Several little boys rushed to say, "There are many monkeys inside, and they beat them badly. This little monkey is too small, so it was able to squeeze out and be picked up by us."
"How can you be so mean?" Ye Jin frowned when he heard that.
"Yes." The little kids also looked angry, "The squad leader was very cruel. We told them to stop fighting, but he still found us annoying and told us to get away."
Hearing this, Ye Jin shook his head and continued to treat the little monkey's wound. The bandages were scattered all over the place, wrapping it into a little cloth monkey, which looked a little funny.
The little kid laughed and lay on the table to touch it with his hands.
After tying the last knot, Shen Qianfeng came to pick him up and was surprised when he entered the house. "Why are there so many children?"
"I'm here to treat the little monkey." Ye Jin washed his hands. "I've wrapped it up. Who's going to take it back?"
The little kids looked at each other, and each of them wanted to take the thing, but none of them dared - after all, it was something they had picked up secretly, and the owner of the circus troupe looked very fierce. If they were found out, he might come to their father to complain.
"How about leaving it at Riyue Villa first?" Ye Jin said, "You can come and see it at any time."
"Really?" The little kids were delighted, and after chirping and thanking the parents, they went home to eat, jumping around happily.
Ye Jin smiled and shook his head, handed the little monkey to the secret guard, and asked him to take him back to the villa to find a nest.
"What's going on?" Shen Qianfeng asked.
"He ran away from the circus troupe." Ye Jin told him what happened and said, "It's still early, why don't you go and take a look?"
Shen Qianfeng nodded and took him to the street corner.
It happened to be meal time, so there weren't many people on the street. People from the juggling team were squatting on the back street eating noodles. There was a big iron cage under the tree, with some fruit cores and rotten vegetable leaves spread casually on it. The place is not big, but there are at least four or five big monkeys in it. Just like those little dolls said, many of them had scars on their bodies, and the old monkey with gray fur at the bottom was already dying and lying motionless.
"It's not just monkeys." Shen Qianfeng raised his chin, "Over there."
Ye Jin turned his head and looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw two children, a boy and a girl, squatting, each holding a brick, obviously being punished.
"What the hell." Ye Jin suddenly felt angry. Although the sun was already setting, the sun in June was so vicious. The two children looked to be only four or five years old. What a mistake they had made. As for being exposed to the sun and being punished at the same time.
"Be patient." Shen Qianfeng said, "This circus troupe is not from the city. They should have just arrived in the past few days. They don't look like good people. Come back tonight and take a look. Maybe you can find more things."
"What about now?" Ye Jin asked.
Oliver waved to a secret guard and whispered something in his ear.
The secret guard nodded and left, and shouted at the door of a restaurant at the corner of the street, "Is your boss here? My eldest master will come to dinner later, and he wants to discuss something."
"Master Shen, come here. I'll go find the boss right away." The waiter quickly let him in and ran out the door.
When the juggler team heard that Shen Qianfeng was coming, they really became nervous. They stepped forward and picked up the two little ones, and gave each of them a bowl of noodles.
The two little kids sat there and ate with big mouthfuls, not even caring about the heat. It was obvious that they had been hungry for a long time.
Ye Jin just kept shaking his head, thinking that bullying a child like this was truly heartless.
In the middle of the night, a few secret guards quietly sneaked into the compound where the juggling group was renting. After eavesdropping, they discovered that this group of people were obviously performing arts, but secretly they were engaged in the business of selling children. They sold the ones that no one wanted and kept them at high prices. They kept the ones that no one wanted and kept them to make money. They would beat or scold them on weekdays. They would abandon them when they got sick. They hurt many people along the way, so they turned around and reported to the officials.
The next morning, soldiers surrounded the compound with iron chains and arrested all the traffickers. The rescued children were temporarily sent to a charity to be returned to their parents in the future. After their injuries were healed, the monkeys happily followed the escort vehicle back to the southwest and were released back to Qingcheng Mountain in Sichuan.
The traffickers confessed their crimes, and according to the original law, they could be released after three to five years. But after reading the pile of heinous indictments, Ye Jin immediately wrote a letter to Chu Yuan and sent someone to deliver it to the royal city at full speed. Three months later, the King of Chu revised the law and announced to the world that those who trafficked in young children could be executed immediately if there was solid evidence.
"It should have been like this a long time ago. Beheading is considered a light thing." Oliver swayed his feet lazily in Zhuiying Palace in Shuzhong. "You can steal other people's children and sell them, and you won't be afraid of being in trouble in the future."
Asher smiled and picked him up from the couch, "Go change your clothes. We need to go down the mountain early so that Master Wen won't have to wait too long."
"Yeah." Oliver nodded and stretched hard.
Since Miles will be transferred elsewhere in three days, everyone made an appointment to serve him a drink today to see him off.
In fact, it is not accurate to say transfer. Strictly speaking, it should be a promotion. From county magistrate to magistrate, which sounds good, but it is not a great thing---for most people, it is probably better. Choose to be a small county magistrate in the peaceful and prosperous Yunlan City, rather than be a magistrate in a bandit den where thugs are infested.
Xanzuzhou, what the hell kind of place is that? Even if it is poor, it is still full of bandits. The previous prefects cried for their fathers and mothers to leave before they took office, and one even even decided to hang up his seal. Resigning from office, I would rather go back to farming than continue to be an official, which shows how scary it is.
However, Miles did not have much objection to this, because firstly, he was an honest official. For an honest official, there was actually not much difference between rich places and poor and remote areas, because they all received the same salary, and sometimes the court would even add some extra subsidies for the purpose of appeasement; secondly, he was a nerd and always went wherever his superiors told him to go, so apart from being reluctant to leave the Chasing Palace and the local people, he did not have much resistance.
In the largest restaurant in the city, a banquet table was being laid out. The secret guard said enthusiastically, "Master Wen, please eat more. I heard that there is not even rice in Xanthium Prefecture, and everyone is eating chaff." "
Miles shook his head, "Actually, it's not that bad. Da Chu is not too poor. Don't listen to one side or the other."
The secret guard bared his teeth and looked at him, "Why are you eating so fast? You are eating chopsticks as fast as flying, and your cheeks are bulging."
How can a scholar who is so good at food be worthy of Confucius?
"Master Wen." Oliver also said, "Please be patient, there is still food to come."
"Ahem." Miles choked on the chicken soup.
"Chirp." The little phoenix patted him with its wings in sympathy.
"Mr. Wen, keep this." Asher handed over an envelope.
"This won't work." Miles quickly put down his chopsticks and refused, "Although I am poor, I can't accept Palace Master Qin's money. Please collect it quickly."
Asher said calmly, "Master Wen, you are overthinking. I never intended to give you money."
Miles:...
Oliver couldn't help laughing.
Asher continued, "It's just a letter. Cang'erzhou is not a peaceful place. Lord Wen is just a scholar, so he will suffer if he goes there. There is a martial arts sect there called Tengyun Fort. The leader has some friendship with me. After seeing this letter, he will naturally take care of me in the future."
"So that's how it is." Miles happily put the letter away, "Thank you, Palace Master."
Asher smiled and had a glass of wine with him, "Have a nice trip."
"Chew!" Maoqiu also ate a piece of beef jerky and expressed his blessing symbolically.
The secret guards were laughing and joking, creating the warmest atmosphere in the restaurant.
Later in the evening, Miles was sent back to the government office drunk. He did not get up until noon the next day. After washing up, he saw the letter on the table, so he wanted to put it away, but he felt that the thickness was a little wrong. After hesitantly opening it, he saw that in addition to the letter, there was also a thick stack of banknotes, so his eyes became a little hot.
"My lord, there is no need to return it. The palace master is not here, and the rest of the people in Zhuiying Palace dare not accept it." The secret guard who came to deliver the carriage reminded at the door---Because Miles is too poor, Oliver always felt that his old horse would ascend to heaven halfway, so he specially prepared a new carriage.
"Where did Palace Master Qin go?" Miles was surprised to hear this.
"The Seven Unrivaled Nations of Mobei." The secret guard said with a smile, "They just set out this morning."
On the official road, Taxuebai was galloping all the way towards the northwest.
After nearly a year of digging water veins, the water source in Qijue is no longer in short supply, but turning thousands of miles of yellow sand into oasis fertile soil cannot be achieved overnight. But even so, after entering Qijue Country, Oliver could clearly feel that there was a lot more greenery here than before.
Mu Hanye and Huang Taixian received the announcement and waited at the palace gate early in the morning. They were extremely happy to see each other. Seeing that the person next to him looked familiar, Oliver couldn't help but look at it twice. After recognizing it, he was surprised and said, "Little prince?!"
"Master Shen, Palace Master Qin." Mu Lieyan's attitude was respectful. Compared with the cynical playboy more than a year ago, he was completely different. Not only was his skin darker, but his body was also stronger, and his aura was completely different. .
"Ayan has been leading his army to mine water veins in the desert this year, and he just came back yesterday." Mu Hanye said.
"Is that so?" Oliver smiled, "Thank you for your hard work, little prince."
"Chirp." Maoqiu squatted on his father's shoulder and expressed his appreciation seriously.
After a full feast of roasted lamb, Oliver chatted with the Queen Mother for a while before being sent back to his residence to rest. The weather in Mobei was very clear, and the night was even more beautiful. Asher hugged him from behind, "Ling'er."
"What's wrong?" Oliver lay on the bed.
"Do you want to go out?" Asher whispered in his ear.
Oliver refused, "I don't want to."
"I want to go to the desert." Asher held his ear.
Shen Xiaoshou turned around and said angrily, "Dream on!"
"Don't you think Ling'er wants to?" Asher said, "Last time, it was clear that... um!"
Oliver covered his mouth tightly with both hands, blushing and said, "Stop talking!" Lying on the ground with a blanket under the sky and all that, it seems very perverted!
"Is it really not possible?" Asher felt very regretful.
It's a ghost. Shen Xiaoshou rolled to the wall with the quilt in his arms, "Go to sleep quickly!"
"In bed again?" Asher seemed very unwilling.
"There is no such thing as 'again'!" Shen Xiaoshou protested angrily. What I'm talking about is pure sleep, the kind of snoring with your eyes closed!
"Then we have to do it reluctantly." Asher pulled him into his arms.
Oliver was extremely sad and angry, and protested desperately while holding his hand to the waistband of his panties.
The small nest on the table was empty---thanks to Maoqiu's smart choice, it stayed in the Queen Mother's bedroom tonight. Not only was it very quiet at night, but there was also soft stuff to rub against. The bird's life was very perfect.
The secret guard outside the window clicked his tongue and shook his head, covering his ears calmly.
We heard nothing.
And the bedroom of King Qi Jue was unexpectedly quiet tonight.
Because there was no one inside at all.
As for where people went...
"Ah Huang." On top of a nine-story pagoda, Mu Hanye was standing side by side with Wong Tai Sin, their clothes fluttering in the wind, giving off an aura that made them envy the mandarin ducks instead of the immortals.
Of course, it would be even more romantic if there wasn't the whistling wind blowing in your face from time to time.
After all, the wind in the desert is no joke.
Another strong wind blew in the face, and Wong Tai Sin staggered again.
Mu Hanye sighed, "Ah Huang is so delicate."
"Can we go back?" Wong Tai Sin really didn't want to talk to him any more.
Mu Hanye said, "Don't Ah Huang think this is very interesting?"
Not at all. Wong Tai Sin turned around and walked down, deeply thinking that he must have eaten too much mutton, so he agreed to stay up in the middle of the night and come here to blow the strong wind.
There was a door at the stairway of the pagoda. Wong Tai Sin pushed it, but it didn't open. He pushed it again, but it still didn't open.
Then he belatedly remembered that it seemed that he had directly carried him up before.
"I'm afraid someone might come up here." Mu Hanye explained, "So it's usually locked."
Huang Daxian looked at him speechlessly. You are an emperor, but you are afraid that others will come up when you build a pagoda. Can you be a little more stingy?
"This is a place for me and Ah Huang." Mu Hanye held his hand.
Probably because the night was too cold, Wong Tai Sin felt that it was warm to be held by his hand like this.
The atmosphere finally became romantic. Mu Hanye lowered his head and slowly moved closer to his lips. Huang Daxian also closed his eyes slightly. Just as their lips were about to touch, a gust of wind blew up the gauze curtains around the pagoda, covering their heads and faces.
"Ahem." Wong Tai Sin choked on the dust.
Mu Hanye began to sincerely regret why he didn't replace the gauze curtains with colored glass, or transparent jade, or directly build them with bricks - the black color actually has its own charm.
"Let's go down." Wong Tai Sin was exhausted.
Mu Hanye had no choice but to hug him down.
Once on the ground, the wind became much lighter, but it was still a bit cold in September and October, so Mu Hanye naturally took off his cloak and gently wrapped him up, "Shall I carry you back?"
Wong Tai Sin shook his head and said, "Go by yourself."
"Okay." Mu Hanye took his hand and said after taking two steps, "How about k!ssing each other before going back?"
Wong Tai Sin: ...
Mu Hanye said aggrievedly, "I didn't k!ss you just now." He couldn't be more disadvantaged.
Wong Tai Sin's lips moved, and his tone sounded as if they could only k!ss once every eight or ten years.
But in fact, from the moment they opened their eyes in the morning to the moment they fell asleep at night, the two of them would k!ss almost every now and then - of course, that was when no one saw them. But even if someone saw them, King Qi Jue would not have any concerns, but Huang Daxian was too thin-skinned, so Mu Hanye had to compromise.
Mu Hanye was still looking at him eagerly.
Huang Taixian was helpless and funny, put his arms around his neck, raised his head and k!ssed him.
Mu Hanye's eyes were filled with a smile of success, she held his waist with both hands, deepened the k!ss, and then... they returned to the palace hand in hand, very pure!
It seems a little cold at this time of year, even though the sky is full of clouds and the ground is covered with mist.
But since he is the king of the desert, there must be a chance for him to succeed once, right?
After all, there is still a lifetime to live, and the days are long...
