Your Majesty's Grace

The Muyang Kingdom is separated from the Buyue Kingdom and the Snake Kingdom. It can be said that the two countries surrounded the Muyang Kingdom. In order not to waste a long way, Zhao Shugong and Hu Yan planned to pass through the Muyang Kingdom and reach the Snake Kingdom in a straight line.Because both of them had already made preparations, it was decided that Hu Yan and Zhao Shugong would each pack up a little things in the future, and then rode out of the palace on fast horses.

Hu Yan's horse was matched later, in stark contrast to Zhao Shugong's black horse. He thought it would be uncomfortable to ride on the horse's back, but this white horse is a docile master, and Hu Yan rode on it. Adapting, the two of them didn't stop, and arrived at Muyang Country in the afternoon. Concerned that people from Muyang Country had seen Zhao Shugong, both of them took bamboo hats to find the inn.

"The prince likes this, wrap it up!"

"Okay, master!" Hearing this voice, Hu Yan couldn't help getting goosebumps all over his body, he knew who it was without guessing, and gave Zhao Shugong a look.The two decisively chose to avoid it.

"and many more!"

"..."

"The two horses outside are yours?"

"It's the next one," Zhao Shugong lowered his voice and replied

"Hmm..." Ren Yi dangled in front of the two of them, as if he wanted to see the faces of the two of them clearly, affectionate and a little lazy, completely without the wildness that he would face when he was talking nonsense

"This horse is so beautiful." Ren Yi said, stroking the white horse twice.

"I don't know if you can sell it to me"

"If the young master likes it, I will give it to the young master."

"That won't work, the prince doesn't like to take advantage of others." Ren Yi said, and the servant next to him gave Zhao Shugong a bag of money

... We are going to the woods, give us a bag of money, what's the use, use it to bribe the boa constrictor?Hu Yan couldn't help rolling his eyes.Zhao Shugong got on his own horse after pulling nonsense

"Is this my dear friend's little lady?"

"It's my younger brother"

"Oh...the hands are so white." Hu Yan subconsciously clenched his fists

"Hey... Could it be that you are scared, the prince knows a thing or two about medical skills, or let me see?" Zhao Shugong held Hu Yan's hand

"Brother is introverted by nature, and my brother's kindness is appreciated." Ren Yi looked at Hu Yan through Zhao Shugong, his eyes gradually became aggressive

"It's nothing, I just need to feel the pulse." Ren Yi said and walked towards Hu Yan. Hu Yan subconsciously touched a round object from his bag, and he didn't care what it was. Throwing it there, Ren Yi lost his guard, and a peach hit him in the face.Zhao Shugong seized this opportunity, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and the black horse galloped out

Hu Yan looked back from time to time to make sure that the dog skin plaster hadn't followed, so he was relieved

"I said why the burden is so heavy. It turned out that it was a peach that Luanyu stuffed half of the burden on me!" Although Hu Yan seemed disgusted on the surface, he honestly took out a peach and started to eat it.

"Do you want one, Your Majesty?"

"No need" Zhao Shugong grabbed the reins and controlled the horse path

"When you are outside, you don't have to care about the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers"

"Oh, then, I call you A Shu or A Gong, it seems strange, either the first generation or the second generation, no, no, no, even though you are the king, you can't take advantage of me."

"...just call me Shu Gong"

"Okay, then Shugong, do you want to eat peaches?"

"..." Hu Yan happily took a bite of the peach, but Zhao Shugong caught the horse's belly again, and the black horse ran out with the force of lightning. Hu Yan's peach fell from his hand and fell behind the horse. Zhao Shugong, lest he fall

"Tsk tsk tsk. Why can't Shugong take a joke so much?"

Being disturbed by Ren Yi, the inn is impossible to live in. The two can only look for the surrounding farmers to see if there is a place to settle down.

Fortunately, there was a peasant woman who took them in before dark, otherwise they would really be able to sleep in a tree. The life of the woman was not good. She was widowed in middle age, and she finally raised her child, but she was arrested and served as a soldier. , leaving only one grandson, and later the daughter-in-law also ran away. At this time, the bag of money Ren Yi gave finally came in handy. After the woman finished cooking, she was bored with nonsense, so she went to the yard to tease the children.The child was about five or six years old, but he was very sensible. When he saw Hu Yan approaching, he obediently brought him a stool. He didn't continue to play with the sand until Hu Yan sat down.

"What's your name?" The kid was wearing crotch pants, and when he heard nonsense calling him, he stood up

"My name is Fuman"

"Oh...Fuman...what are you playing?"

"Pile sand, I want to build a big house for grandma"

Hu Yan approached "It's not right to have such a pile, let me teach you"

"Um"

Zhao Shugong tidied up in the room given by the woman, and felt that he could sleep, so he went out to get some air, but saw Hu Yan and a child playing with sand

The nonsense piled up, I saw Fuman was stunned, followed his gaze, and saw Zhao Shugong standing at the door, the veil had been taken off

"Uncle looks so good-looking"

"Pfft" Uncle... the kid has a future, Zhao Shugong has already approached

"why are you laughing"

"It's nothing, I just discovered that Shu Gong's charm is really great, everyone can eat it."

"Really?" Zhao Shugong stepped forward and lifted the veil of nonsense

"Wow... my brother is more beautiful"

"!!" Hu Yan almost choked to death on his own saliva

"Look clearly, I'm just like you, I'm a man!" The child seemed unable to distinguish that beautiful is a word to describe a woman, thinking that nonsense made him angry, so he played with the sand on his own, Zhao Shugong seemed to have succeeded in revenge, and smiled I laughed and went into the house

Because the woman's house is not big, Hu Yan and Zhao Shugong can only sleep in the same room. Naturally, Hu Yan is used to sleeping everywhere, but Zhao Shugong was a light sleeper when he was in the palace, not to mention changing places, he couldn't adapt for a while. .

"Why doesn't your majesty sleep?"

"Can't sleep"

"Then... Your Majesty, how about we talk about life?"

Zhao Shugong suddenly turned his head and looked at Hu Yan who was lying flat next to him, his eyes couldn't be more obvious - you actually think about life

"You said... only you can get the lotus fruit"

"Eh... Your Majesty, actually."

"You lied to the widow?"

"...Not really, I did dream a little bit, but it was about you, I can't rest assured"

Zhao Shugong sighed

"Your Majesty! We are almost at the Snake Country, you can't drive me back, I won't leave"

"Tomorrow you will enter the Snake Country, and you will not be able to leave the widow for half a step"

"it is good!"

Early the next morning, the two rode their horses and continued on their way to Snake Country. The border of Muyang Country was only separated from Snake Country by a mountain. When they arrived at the gate of Snake Country, they resolutely put their horses in custody, fearing that their whereabouts would be exposed. Zhao Shugong all wiped some ashes on his face, thinking about inquiring about Wangyang Mountain before taking any action.The two walked into the inn and asked for a pot of tea and some side dishes

"Oh...the emperor has really changed recently, one policy a day, he is very happy to change, but it is hard for us..."

"Who will let that national teacher be favored? What can I do?"

"What country teacher"

"You don't know? I also heard about it. It seems that a few months ago, a person fell down at the gate of the city, and happened to be rescued by the emperor who came back from hunting. Think about when the emperor began to change his temperament? No Is it within the past six months?"

"Who is that national teacher?"

"I'm not sure about this, but I heard from my brother that the national teacher is very favored, and he doesn't need to salute when he sees the emperor on weekdays."

Hu Yan and Zhao Shugong withdrew their thoughts, at this time Xiaoer had already served the food and wine, so Hu Yan took a jug of wine and sat down at the next table

"Just now I overheard your conversation. I really think it's exciting. My brother and I have just arrived here, and we don't know where there is a place to play. What do you guys have to say?"

Those few people naturally took the wine poured by Hu Yan, and they were polite and willing to talk about Hu Yan.

"Come here to play? I'm afraid you have come to the wrong place."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Do you know where this is?"

"Snake Country"

"That's right, in our country of snakes, there are not many things, but the most snakes. If you come here, you may not be able to enjoy the mountains and rivers. I advise you to go back earlier."

"Snake, you won't believe it. I have dealt with snakes since I was a child. No matter what snake sees me, it will obediently avoid it."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, and I've been here for a few days, and I haven't seen any ferocious snakes. The snakes in my hometown are more powerful, and I dare to walk on the street."

"Oh brother, I don't like to hear what you say."

"If you don't believe me, why don't you tell me the place with the most snakes, and I'll catch one and bring it back to you?"

"See if you can, then let me tell you, our Wangyang Mountain is definitely the place with the most snakes in the world. If you can come out alive, I will kneel down and kowtow to you!"

"It's a deal, how will Wangyang Mountain go?"

"Hahaha, I don't even know the way and dare to speak loudly, hey, go out here, go left, until you walk into the woods, climb a small hill, and you will find Wangyang Mountain."

Hu Yan was still holding the jug, and when he heard the satisfactory answer, he secretly turned his head and blinked at Zhao Shugong, the color in his eyes was full of joy
