Li day.

Everyone woke up from their drunken state. Qiao Mu notified the guards of each family to pack their luggage and prepare to leave. Yan Zhi also came to Qian You's room and hugged her arm and refused to let go.

"Qian You, my father has sent me messages many times, asking us to set off and return, but I can't bear to leave you."

The cute little face has become a little rounder due to the food she eats recently, and it feels better when she pinches it.

"You can consider marrying to Dongcang, we can still be together."

Qian You teased with a smile, pinching the cheek which felt nice in his hand.

"Yes, I will go back and discuss this with my father. I really don't want to follow this path he has arranged for me. I hate the intrigues in the court. I have truly experienced a free and easy life in the past two months. I don't want to go back to the palace and be on guard against being schemed against every day, and I have to think about who to scheme against."

"You are telling the truth."

Qian You really likes Yan Zhi's personality.

She is delicate but not arrogant, natural, occasionally cunning, and very sincere and frank with the people she loves.

"I'll go back and find out about Concubine Chen's situation, and I'll pass on the news to you."

"it is good."

Qian You directly asked Yan Zhi whether she knew about the past and future of the noble lady who came out of Jishui Village. Yan Zhi was confused.

She is the Queen's biological daughter. The concubines in the harem who do not have a high rank may never come into contact with her in their entire lives. There are as many women in the harem as clothes, and she does not care where each concubine comes from.

In the afternoon of that day, Yan Zhi and Cang Min were the first to say goodbye to everyone, and the group left Jishui Village and headed north.

"Qian You, I heard that someone in Qingshan really found a cave. There is a pattern carved on the wall of the cave. There is a lot of moss, so it is a bit blurry. I can't tell what is drawn on it."

Cangyu walked in hurriedly.

"Oh? Then let's go and take a look together."

"No, Qiao Mu and I will take people to check it out first. If it is related to what we are looking for, we will inform you. You have had a stomachache these past two days, so take a good rest here first. Once this matter is confirmed, we will return to Dongcang."

Cangyu gathered Qianyou's cloak and looked at her tenderly.

This time when they go back, they should be able to get married as scheduled.

Qian You made a decision yesterday and set off to return home.

That night he announced his intention to establish a queen and asked the Imperial Observatory to choose the nearest auspicious day.

"Okay, you and Qiao Mu go. I have a feeling this may not be what we are looking for. Don't waste too much time."

Cangyu responded, turned around and left, and he and Qiaomu took the people onto the boat. Qiao Nan pretended to jump on as well.

"You stay and protect Qianyou."

Qiao Mu spoke up to stop him.

Qiao Nan's legs, which had already been stretched out, retreated again.

"Yes, yes, and me."

Jing Zhan quickly ran to the river and waved at the boat.

"Master and Brother Qiao, rest assured, I will keep an eye on her and not let her run around."

Qiao Nan turned around and glared at him, then turned back.

Qiao Mu savored the three words "Brother Qiao" in surprise, silently calculating in his mind who was older between him and Jing Zhan.

On the first day, there was no news from Qingshan, and it was not much different from the past.

The fish noodle restaurant business has stopped. Qian You lies quietly in bed, thinking about the road ahead, feeling a little confused.

Qiao Nan was jumping up and down as Jing Zhan chased her, and the yard regained some of its former liveliness.

After noon, Qian You took a short nap and just woke up.

"Young Master, Chief Qiao sent a message asking you to go and have a look at the cliff over there. It seems there is something useful there."

Yin Jie left with Qiao Mu and others, and came back now to deliver the news to Qingshan.

"Okay, call Qiao Nan along, and we'll set off now."

"Yes!"

Yin Jie left quickly.

After a stick of incense, the three of them boarded a small boat.

The boatman rowed quickly and the boat drifted towards the green mountains on the opposite bank.

"Where's Qianyou?"

Qi Luobai came out of the room, walked to the kitchen, picked up a cup of milk tea, and asked the busy Jingsi.

"Young Master and Sister Qiao Nan went to Qingshan and just left."

"Hey, why didn't you call me? I'll go too."

Qi Luobai was about to chase after him as soon as he spoke.

"You probably can't catch up. The boat has left. The boats we rented have all gone to Qingshan. If you want to go, you can only wait for the big boat tomorrow morning."

Jingsi explained patiently.

"What are they doing in Qingshan?"

Qi Luobai walked to the bank of the Mian River, looked at the small black dot that had sailed to the center of the river, and asked lonely questions.

I blame myself for being too sleepy and not noticing Qian You who just went out.

On the second day, Luo Long and his group waited at the riverside early and boarded the village's big boat.

There were no outsiders in Jishui Village, and not many people boarded the boat. Qi Luobai sat in front of the boatman who was rowing the boat, chatting with him about random things.

The ship was moving quite fast and reached the other side of the river in half an hour.

Qi Luobai and the guards stepped onto the green hills in the distance. It had snowed twice by now, and a thin layer of white snow had accumulated on the top of the hills, as if it was connected to the clouds in the sky.

"Qingshan is so big, where can we find them?"

After the guards came ashore, they looked at the endless mountains and didn't know where to go.

Qi Luobai was also worried about this problem.

It was his first time here, and he hadn’t paid much attention to the conversation between Cangyu and Qingshan, so he had no idea what to do.

"Boatman, which direction did the people who came here the past two days go?"

Qi Luobai asked the uncle who was rowing the boat.

"Oh, over there. They said there was something discovered over there these days, and everyone who got off the ship went in that direction."

The boatman pointed to the left but couldn't tell the exact location.

"Let's go in that direction and split into several groups to search. There should be traces of human footsteps in the snow. Whoever finds someone will send a signal."

It had been nearly two hours, and Qi Luobai was not familiar with the route and was feeling a little impatient.

"Over there, there's someone over there."

The guard saw two people standing in front of a cave and waved excitedly at Qi Luobai.

"Master, it's Master Cang's guard."

The guards had become familiar with each other these days, and when they saw Qi Luobai coming, they hurried over to reply.

"Who's here?"

Qi Luobai asked.

"It's Master Cang who is here. Yesterday, Master Qiao went to the mountain next door and hasn't come back yet."

"Where is Qianyou?"

"Ms. Qianyou has never been here."

"What? Where is she then? Are there any other caves?"

Qi Luobai was a little surprised.

Qian You was not here to look for Cang Yu, and she felt a little surprised.

"There are only two strange caves in this area. If you didn't come here, you should have gone to the place where Master Qiao was."

The guard replied.

"I'll go in and take a look, you guys continue."

Qi Luobai left some words, flew into the cave, and moved forward at a very fast speed.

The cave was very large and deep. Qi Luobai walked quickly for about half an hour before he heard the sound of people talking.

"These marks are too blurry. I can't make any sense of them if I look at them any further."

It is the sound of bamboo's fatigue.

"Well, tell people to stop cleaning up the moss."

Cangyu ordered in a low voice.

These fuzzy marks seemed to be there and not there, covered by moss. The people he led cleaned them up for two days, and finally they had some shape, but they still could not be connected into a pattern or sentence.

"Cangyu."

Qi Luobai spoke.

"Why are you here? Where's Qianyou?"

Cangyu was a little confused as to why Qi Luobai appeared here.

"Qian You came to Qingshan at noon yesterday. I didn't catch up with them, so I could only wait for the big ship this morning to come and look for Qian You."

Qi Luobai responded.

"Qian You is here? She came yesterday at noon? Where is she?"

Cangyu was a little confused.

"The guard at the door just now said that he didn't see him. Maybe he went to another mountain."

Qi Luobai lay on the wall of the cave, looking at the blurry carvings, really not knowing what they were.

"Let's go out first and see what's going on over there."

Cangyu's heart suddenly tightened and he felt an inexplicable pain.
