Ling Qi smiled and said, "The decree has just been issued, and the messenger is still in the capital and has not left yet. It is normal that the prince does not know about it."

"You are so well-informed, I guess you are close to the emperor." King Yin smiled.

"The Pavilion Master just understands human nature." Ling Qi said.

"With such news, why doesn't your Pavilion Master send people in himself, but instead does me a favor?" King Yin said.

"Every profession has its own specialty." Ling Qi said, "Although our Pavilion Master is good at strategy, he doesn't know much about military affairs, and..."

Ling Qi seemed a little embarrassed: "We don't have enough manpower. We have already exhausted all our manpower just to design these schemes. We really can't find any trustworthy generals to place at the border. We don't know their background and we don't trust them deeply. If they turn against us, it will be difficult to deal with them."

He continued, "But Your Highness is different. Your Highness should not have decided to fight for this position on a whim, right? I believe he must have some trustworthy people at his disposal."

King Yin said in an ambiguous tone: "You know me very well."

"I dare not, I just used some information." Ling Qi said.

"Tell me, what are you going to do?" King Yin said coldly, "With so many benefits, I'm sure you won't give them away for nothing."

"Your Highness is worrying too much." Ling Qi said, "The current situation cannot be delayed any longer. The sooner we start the rebellion, the greater our chances of success."

"The emperor is safe and sound, and Qin Zhaoyue and his son are kind and filial. If I start a rebellion now, wouldn't that be courting death?" King Yin said, "I am not a fool."

"The emperor's move against the Su family is a signal," Ling Qi said. "If he takes care of the Su family, he will have all his hands free to target the prince. The prince probably doesn't know who started the rumors in Huaizhong Prefecture."

"Who? Could it be the emperor?" King Yin was shocked. "But why should I believe you?"

"Your Majesty is smart, I think he knows what's going on." Ling Qi said, "I will hand this list over to Your Majesty as it is. As for how to deal with it, it's all up to Your Majesty to decide."

Ling Qi said, "We are now on the same page. In the future, the Pavilion Master will also respect the Prince and let the Prince make the final decision."

King Yin looked at him, his mind full of thoughts.

Ling Qi took out an envelope from his arms and pushed it in front of King Yin.

"The prince taking that position is what the Pavilion Master wants to see." Ling Qi said, "That's all I have to say."

King Yin took the envelope, said nothing, and left.

When he left the courtyard, he saw Qin Xian waiting for him at the door. Seeing this, he came forward and said, "Your Majesty, there are guests in the mansion."

"Who?"

"It seems to be Gu Xu's people." Qin Xian glanced behind King Yin and said in a low voice.

"Him?" King Yin's face was somewhat displeased when he heard this. "You came just in time. I was just about to congratulate you."

……

Qin Zhaoyue led the horse and walked.

As night fell, the entire Xiong'er Mountain looked eerie and gloomy, with a dark outline stretching across the sky, blocking the moon on the other side of the mountain.

This is it. Qin Zhaoyue's face was cold, but he was wrapped in bandages and it was dark, so no one noticed his abnormality.

"Let's stay here. It's sheltered from the wind and relatively clean." Gu Yue threw his luggage into the cave.

It's not exactly a cave, but it's slightly concave inward, forming a natural place to stay.

Gu Yue looked at the ground carefully and found some subtle traces.

"It seems that other people have camped here before." Gu Yue said, "This means that this area is relatively safe."

Lu Tianyun also nodded.

He unloaded the things on the horse's back - including a roll of bedding and a bright red wedding dress.

"What is this?" Gu Yue was confused for a second, then reacted.

This person was stabbed by Gu Xudao when he got married, so naturally he ran away wearing his wedding dress.

"Your Highness's wedding attire..." Lu Tianyun was a little sad, his face was not looking good: "I heard in the city that Your Highness was going to get married, and I was very happy, but I didn't expect something like this to happen."

Gu Yue comforted him, "It's okay. If you survive a disaster, you will have good fortune in the future."

When Qin Zhaoyue heard this, he raised his eyelids and looked at him.

What about you? --Gu Dashi, can you also say that those who survived a great disaster will have good fortune in the future?

The mountains were desolate and dark, and Qin Zhaoyue's thoughts were sliding into the abyss.

Isolated and helpless, abandoned by everyone.

He also understood it.

Qin Zhaoyue slowly took out a handful of grass from his sleeve.

Gu Yue said: "You two stay here, I'll go around and see if there's anything to eat."

His stomach growled with hunger, and he could not help but blame Qin Zhaoyue - when they passed by that town during the day, he refused to let him go to the town to buy supplies, saying that he would be wanted. It was the two of them who were wanted, not him, Gu Yue!

However, considering that Gu Xu's people were likely watching nearby, Gu Yue behaved himself.

He didn't want to meet Gu Xu so early.

Qin Zhaoyue said: "Come back slowly, I have something to say to Lu Tianyun."

"Oh." Gu Yue nodded. What opinion could he have?

Lu Tianyun seems to be good at martial arts, so forget about eavesdropping, but don’t turn this half-friend into an enemy.

Lu Tianyun quickly handed him a package: "Take this. This is a fire starter, and this is a short sword. If you encounter a wolf, don't fight it head-on... Master Fox Fairy, do you know magic? Why don't you change some food?"

"It's fake even if it's conjured up." Gu Yue was moved at first, then speechless.

He put the tinder into his sleeve pocket, held the dagger in his hand, and left the cave.

Don't go too far, or you'll get lost, Gu Yue thought.

Alas, but then again. Gu Yue thought, since Qin Zhaoyue was seriously injured by Gu Xu, does it mean that marriage and other things are just plans?

Can he go back to Luoyang now?

No, he still had to keep an eye on this master and servant to see what Qin Zhaoyue’s plans were next.

While thinking and walking, Gu Yue had already walked about fifty meters. There was no shortage of food in the complex jungle, and the stars were bright. There were already some more wild vegetables and berries in the bag in his hand.

He doesn't know how to hunt wild game.

Gu Yue stopped.

The surroundings also became quiet because of his stillness. Gu Yue listened carefully, trying to hear from the friction of branches and leaves and the chirping of insects whether someone was following him.

Nothing. Maybe his hearing isn't good enough.

……

Lu Tianyun spread out his bedding in a leeward place, and gathered dead branches, rotten leaves and stones from the surrounding area, piled them into a fire pit, and set it up not far away.

He then helped Qin Zhaoyue sit down on the bedding and took out the medicine.

"I can do it myself." Qin Zhaoyue said, "You boil some water."

"Your Highness, you are lucky to be alive." Lu Tianyun noticed that Qin Zhaoyue was in a bad mood all the way, so he persuaded her. He took out a small pot from his luggage, placed it on the fire, and poured the water in the water bag into the pot.

"I know." Qin Zhaoyue said, and he threw the grass in his hand into the water.

"What did your highness want to say?" Lu Tianyun didn't understand what he meant, but he didn't ask. He looked around, "Master Fox Fairy has left."

Qin Zhaoyue remained silent for a long time.

After a while, he said, "That year, you, Yu Hu, and I also spent the night in a forest like this."
