In charge

"As long as you can think about it, I still say the same thing, whenever you want to continue to take revenge, I will accompany you." The emperor made a promise, which was more important than a thousand catties.

When the Son of Heaven travels, the people he wants to take with him naturally have to think carefully.Shu Yunci drew up a list, and the grand speech was for the purpose.As a prime minister, she is responsible to the emperor.

"I met Hua Yihong in Qin Yangchen and others before, and Wei Chen felt that Miss Yue and her were like a happy couple. This time, His Majesty will take Miss Yue on a trip again. Do you think you will meet Hua Yihong again?" Yihong bid farewell and left when Sheng Ci and others returned to Beijing.She is such a restless person, so naturally there will be no excitement going. Isn't the Jade Appreciation Conference to be held in Xingguo the biggest excitement recently?Sheng Ci thinks that Hua Yihong will appear again.

"Hua Yihong is a shrewd person. What she and Yingxi say..." Shu Yunci was actually thinking seriously, "At least I don't have to worry that Yingxi will be tricked into selling her one day."

The monarch and his ministers looked at each other and smiled.In the executive department in a corner of the palace, Yue Yingxi suddenly sneezed loudly, and felt a chill down her back. "Why do I feel like someone is plotting against me?"

When it really came the day of departure, Shu Yunci couldn't help frowning as he watched the huge traveling team. "Is this really the streamlined version?" she asked the silk bottle.

Si Ping said: "Your Majesty, according to your order, most of the people have been removed. These are the necessary personnel to maintain the emperor's guard of honor."

Shu Yunci's face was full of resistance.At this time, she remembered Jiang Fengmin's suggestion that it would be better for the two of them to go out alone.When a large group of people travels, not to mention walking slowly, but also accepting the curious eyes of passers-by from time to time, it is like a monkey.

The emperor went out, the east gate of the capital opened wide, and the brigade set off slowly.Si Ping and Yue Yingxi sat on the emperor's carriage, looking at each other helplessly.

"Si Ping, do you think we will lose our lives if we ride in the emperor's carriage like this?" Yue Yingxi asked worriedly.

Si Ping waved her hand, "Well, I have been with Your Majesty since I was a child, and I have done this kind of thing not once or twice. You see, I am still alive and well. As long as Your Majesty is fine, we will be fine." Although Si Ping was unwilling Enjoy this honor, but Shu Yunci ordered her to sit in the carriage and drive, she can't help it.

Yue Yingxi simply lay down in the spacious carriage, "Since you have said so, I don't have to worry about it. But is the emperor always so willful? Did she run away with Jiang Fengmin like this?"

The silk bottle is spread out.This is the master of the house, who will never care about the rules and do whatever he wants, alas!

Shu Yunci didn't want to be protected by a large number of guards, so he slowly moved all the way to Xingguo.With her vigorous and resolute style, she would probably die of depression.So shortly after the team set off, she and Jiang Fengmin sneaked out and chose another road to Xingguo.

The two galloped all the way on horseback, covering eighty miles in one day.In the evening, the two found an inn to rest.After dinner, the two went to the street for a walk, and Shu Yunci was very satisfied to see the bustling streets here.

"It is my original intention to be emperor that the common people can live and work in peace and contentment."

"I think they live far better than you." Jiang Fengmin felt hard for Shu Yunci.

"That's the best." Shu Yunci walked to a small sugar painting stall and asked for a cat sugar painting, and Jiang Fengmin hurriedly paid for it.

"Look, don't they look like fish balls?" Shu Yunci was in a good mood, with more smiles on his face.Sure enough, the palace is the most boring place, the folks are so nice, she feels comfortable all over.

"You want fish balls?" Jiang Fengmin pretended to be terrified.

Shu Yunci opened his mouth and bit off half of the cat's head, "Anyway, if that silly cat continues to be so stupid, I'll let the imperial dining room stew it sooner or later." She brought the sugar painting to Jiang Fengmin's mouth, and Jiang Fengmin bit it off The other half of the cat's head.

Yu Wan, who was sleeping in Xihua Palace, suddenly raised his ears, looked up and looked around, but found nothing unusual, he buried his head in his paws again, and continued to sleep.

The two traveled around while traveling, and they were always faster than the group, so if they really came across a place they liked, they would stay here for two days before leaving.

now they

It is in a mountain in the southeast of Yin Country.Although it has entered October, it is still autumn in the southeastern region, and occasionally there are some late blooming flowers that have not faded.There are a large number of maple trees in the mountains, and this season is the most beautiful scenery.

The maple leaves have been frosted, the trees are red, and the ground is also red.The two were attracted at first sight.After asking the local people, I found out that this mountain is called Shuifeng Mountain. Because there are a lot of maple trees growing on the mountain, it is also called Fengshan Mountain, or Hongye Mountain.Every year in autumn, it becomes the most famous tourist attraction near and far.

The local government built a fence at the foot of the mountain, enclosing every road up the mountain.All the people who want to go up the mountain must hand over five Wen to the gatekeeper.

Shu Yunci felt that this matter was new. Shuifeng Mountain is owned by the state, so why can the local government collect money?And as the king of a country, she didn't even know about it.

"You're going to ask again." Jiang Fengmin smiled wryly.The two of them walked smoothly, at least they didn't encounter any corrupt officials, and Shu Yunci has not revealed his whereabouts so far.

"You have to find out, but don't worry, I won't reveal my identity. I don't want to ask for trouble."

The two found the nearest entrance to the mountain, and when they were about to enter, there was someone collecting money at the door.

Jiang Fengmin asked: "Brother, why do you need to collect money for going up the mountain?"

The corners of Shu Yunci's mouth raised slightly, Jiang Fengmin's pretending to be weak was a little strange.

A big man who collected the money said: "Girl, this mountain belongs to the country. If you want to see it, you have to pay the country. It's the same everywhere you go."

Shu Yunci couldn't help but said: "So, the money you received will also be handed over to the imperial court?"

The big man looked at Shu Yunci carefully, his originally impatient tone eased a lot after seeing Shu Yunci's face clearly. "Girl, I don't know what you're asking. I'm just an ordinary yamen servant, and I was sent here to collect money. As for where the money is sent, that's something the county magistrate knows."

Shu Yunci didn't ask any more questions.She turned her head and glanced at Jiang Fengmin, Jiang Fengmin took out ten coins and handed it to the big man, and the two went up the mountain smoothly.

The mountain scenery is beautiful and the air is fresh.It just rained the other day and there were mushrooms growing.Both of them were born in the royal family and were pampered. It was the first time they saw mushrooms in the field.

While picking mushrooms and looking at the scenery, the two walked all the way to the innermost part of the mountain. There was no road here. Sometimes the two jumped up by relying entirely on light work. Every time they fell down without stepping firmly, they might die.

Shu Yunci liked this kind of death-seeking behavior very much.Jiang Fengmin has been by her side for a long time, and he is also very indulgent.

Before the sun set, the two finally climbed to the top of the mountain. It seemed that no one had ever been here, and there was no trace of anyone's activities at all.

At this time, the sun was setting, and the dim sunlight shone on the bright red maple leaves, showing a golden red color.

A few rows of red leaf trees, countless sunset mountains.

Standing on the edge of the cliff, Shu Yunci looked at the villages, roads, and forests in the distance, and he couldn't help feeling a sense of compassion in his heart.She will work hard to protect everything in the hidden country, so that she can be worthy of her own talent.

Jiang Fengmin found a relatively flat place and poured out all the mushrooms wrapped in clothes. "Yunci, can you tell which ones are poisonous and which ones are not?" She only knew that brightly colored mushrooms should not be eaten.

Shu Yunci came over, picked up the mushrooms and observed them carefully, and then she divided the mushrooms into two categories. "This type is edible. Throw away this type." All the inedible mushrooms were picked by Jiang Fengmin.

"You also learned these in books?" Jiang Fengmin couldn't imagine what an emperor would do after learning this.

"It's never wrong to learn more. At least..." Shu Yunci shook a poisonous mushroom, "I won't be poisoned by mushrooms in the wild."

Jiang Fengmin picked up dry branches around and said, "Anyway, I will follow you all my life. If you know mushrooms, I won't be poisoned to death."

When Jiang Fengmin picked up the branches, Shu Yunci had already cleaned up all the mushrooms with a dagger, and washed them with the water from the mountain side.I folded it when I came back

A few thin twigs stringed up the mushrooms, and when Jiang Fengmin lit the fire, she held two strings of mushrooms to the fire to roast.

Jiang Fengmin picked up the remaining few skewers and roasted them together, asking while roasting, "Yunci, what are you going to do with that county magistrate?"

"Let's leave this matter to the higher-level officials. When I return from Xingguo, I will mention it to Sheng Ci, and she will supervise it."

The two roasted the mushrooms, and you and I ate them separately.Jiang Fengmin saw what Shu Yunci meant and didn't plan to go down the mountain tonight.But the dew on the mountain was heavy, she didn't care, she was afraid that Shu Yunci would not be able to bear it.

"I'm going to find out if there is a cave to shelter in." Jiang Fengmin said.At this time, the sky had already darkened, and even the two of them were not sure about going down the mountain in such a dangerous place.

Shu Yunci nodded. "Be careful yourself."

After Jiang Fengmin left, Shu Yunci sat by the fire.At this moment, the moon has climbed over the treetops, and tonight it turned out to be a full moon. The white moonlight made the maple leaves in the mountains turn white.

Shu Yunci was thinking about his own thoughts alone.It's been a long time since she was alone with her thoughts.Day after day of government affairs oppressed her like a spinning top, she finally understood why her father seldom entered the harem, and spent most of his time in the Xihua Palace except to accompany her.She is also glad that she does not have a harem, and there will not be so many women who stay in the boudoir alone.The longer she was emperor, the more she knew how hard it is to be the king of a country.

The country is so big, from spring to winter, there are floods, droughts, and snowstorms every year. Every year, disaster relief, construction, and sufficient military expenditures must be set aside.She has been doing her best to make the people of Yin country rich, but the national power of Yin country is still empty. If there is ten years of peace, Yin country can accumulate enough wealth.

However, not to mention that the neighboring countries around would not keep Yin Kingdom strong, and even himself, he couldn't wait for ten years.This time she went to Xing country, she also hoped to see what other countries look like, at least to change her mind.

She sat by the fire and thought for a long time, filling the fire with the branches at hand, but Jiang Fengmin still didn't come back.She couldn't help shaking her head, why did this person go?Is it in danger?

She took out a few unlit branches from the fire as torches, extinguished the fire again, and walked towards the direction Jiang Fengmin left with the torches in hand.

The trees are dense, and people walking inside are like a maze.Shu Yunci carefully walked along the edge of the forest, paying attention not to let the torch in his hand ignite the branches.

"Feng Min!" Shu Yunci shouted all the way, although she felt that her behavior was very stupid, but in this situation, she could only do so.

The front has reached the edge of the woods, and if you go further and bypass a rock, the front suddenly opens up.

It turned out that there was a small lake surrounded by mountains and forests, and there was a very beautiful abode in the center of the lake.It also relies on the fact that the moonlight is bright enough today, otherwise even with Shu Yunci's eyesight, he would not be able to see so far away.At this time, the temperature in the mountains has dropped, and clouds of mist rise on the lake, like a fairyland on earth.

The small bridge and flowing water, the flower garden of the jingshe, and the waterfall in the distance are really beautiful.But Shu Yunci is not in the mood to appreciate these things at this time.

Seeing that there was a house here, she didn't feel relaxed at all, but was even more worried about Jiang Fengmin.

She came to the lake, but found no bridge to go to the center of the lake.There was only one small boat by the lake, Shu Yunci looked at it twice and was very disgusted.

So what if you have a boat?If you don't have a boatman, who can sail the boat?As long as there is a boat, there are paddles. Shu Yunci took the two paddles, raised his head to measure the distance from the shore to the center of the lake, then threw out one of the paddles, and flew across the lake with the other.When her old strength was exhausted and new strength was not born, her toes had already stood on the oar that had just been thrown, and at the same time, the other oar in her hand was also thrown, and she used this , flew up again, landed on another oar, flew up again, and then she landed smoothly on the curved bridge outside the monastery.

A gust of wind rose for no reason on the curved bridge, blowing away the mist on the lake surface, which was the internal force swept out by Shu Yunci with a wave of his hand.

After the fog dissipated, the outline of the Abode became clearer.Shu Yunci stepped forward

Knocking on the door, the door was opened, and a little girl in yellow clothes came out with a lantern, "I didn't know that the distinguished guest was coming, but I was far away to welcome you, and please forgive me. My master has invited you, and the distinguished guest please come with me."

Shu Yunci was so bold that he followed the little girl into the abode regardless of whether there was an ambush or not.The abode is not big, there are three rooms in front and back, the little girl brought Shu Yunci into the living room.

"Master, the distinguished guest has arrived."

The woman called the master by the little girl is very thin, and she should be around 20 years old.With a delicate face, thin eyebrows, thin eyes and thin lips, it looks like a wisp of smoke, as if it will disappear anytime and anywhere.

"Hu'er, go down, I have something to talk to the distinguished guest." The woman's voice was very pleasant, she poured two cups of hot tea on the coffee table in front of her, and pushed one of them to Shu Yunci.

"I have lived here for more than ten years. I haven't seen anyone in the world for a long time. If there is any negligence, I hope the honorable guest will forgive me." The woman reached out and took a sip from her teacup.

Shu Yunci also picked up the teacup and took a sip. The tea was sweet and sweet, with a unique fragrance. "You recognize me?"

The woman smiled and said: "I have already said, I haven't seen outsiders for many years, how can I recognize a distinguished guest? But today there is a full moon, and there are two stars next to the moon, which indicates that there will be two distinguished guests visiting my abode, and indeed the distinguished guests have arrived. "

Shu Yunci narrowed his eyes, "Where is the other person?"

The woman's finger pointed behind Shu Yunci, "It's already here."

Shu Yunci didn't look back, she was too familiar with Jiang Fengmin's inner strength, she didn't need to turn around to confirm it.But she was still calm, but Jiang Fengmin was no longer calm.

"Yun Ci, why did you come here alone?" Jiang Fengmin was sweating, obviously very anxious.

Shu Yunci turned his head and glared at her, she hurriedly withdrew her hand on Shu Yunci's shoulder. "I... I'm worried about you."

Seeing that Jiang Fengmin was still alive and kicking, Shu Yunci felt relieved.Her eyes fell on the woman in front of her again, "May I ask what your name is?"

The woman poured another cup of tea for Jiang Fengmin, "My name is Wen Wuying. I have lived with my master in this mountain since I was a child. A few years ago, my master passed away, so I am here alone. I picked up the lake. Child, you have depended on me for life all these years." Wen Wuying raised his head, "Is there anything else you want to know?"

"Yes." Shu Yunci said: "Miss Wen's martial arts is very good, right?" She had been paying attention to Wen Wuying's aura since she came in, it was even more steady than her own.

Wen Wuying waved his hand, "I don't dare to compare with the honored guests. But I have lived in the mountains for a long time, and I have practiced some fur."

Before she finished speaking, Jiang Fengmin, who had received Shu Yunci's signal, had already attacked and tried.Wen Wuying responded quickly and moved faster.However, Jiang Fengmin's internal strength still exceeded Wen Wuying's estimate.The candles in the room were almost extinguished by Jiang Fengmin's icy qi. Shu Yunci made a move and successfully blocked the blow of icy qi to the candles. The flames of the candles gradually grew bigger.

Over there, the fight between Shu Yunci and Wen Wuying was still going on.Shu Yunci watched the battle carefully while protecting the candle.After a while, she reached out and grasped the hands of the two of them accurately, "Enough."

Jiang Fengmin withdrew his hands, the room was already filled with cold air, and he would breathe out white air when he spoke.

"Miss Wen, we offended you." After all, this is someone's home, and coming to the door for no reason is already disturbing, and even fighting with them, expressing apology is the right thing to do.

Wen Wuying straightened her sleeves without showing any displeasure. "It doesn't matter." She rubbed her hands that were red from the cold, and said to herself that this person's icy internal energy is really powerful, and if she really fought, she probably wouldn't be able to hold it for so long.

"It's getting late, and this place is not connected to the outside world. If you two distinguished guests don't dislike it, you can stay in the abode for one night before leaving." Wen Wuying is very hospitable.

Both of them had no objection, of course, staying overnight in the wilderness was not as comfortable as living in a house.

Wen Wuying called Hu'er to take the two of them to the guest room.The furnishings in the room are extremely simple, only a bed, a table and two chairs.It can be seen that the place is cleaned carefully at ordinary times, and it is very dry.

Clean and tidy.

"Hu'er, do you usually clean this place?" Jiang Fengmin likes to tease children. Seeing Hu'er's chubby face now, he can't help but think of the scene when he saw Shu Yunci for the first time. The little girl...um...why is the painting style different?

Hu'er, who is six or seven years old, doesn't look very lively, but she doesn't have the determined look of Shu Yunci back then.

Hu'er pointed to the door of the room, "If the two distinguished guests want to wash up, go out from here and go south. There is a pool where you can take a bath, but the water in the pool is already cold, and the master will heat the water tomorrow night. .”

The two thanked each other, and Hu'er left.Jiang Fengmin was still lamenting that Hu'er is a big kid, but Shu Yunci grabbed him by the collar. "Why have you been away for so long and haven't heard back?"

Jiang Fengmin quickly explained his affairs.She found this abode in the lake when she was looking for caves.She also came to see if there was anyone, and then met Wen Wuying.She talked to Wen Wuying a few words, and felt that the other party didn't seem to be malicious, so she hurriedly left and went back to find Shu Yunci.It's just that the two of them didn't meet for some reason. When Jiang Fengmin saw the extinguished fire on the top of the mountain, he guessed that Shu Yunci had come to look for him.Then she turned back hastily, and entered the Abode with Shu Yunci.

The two went to the pool that Hu'er said together. At this time, the water in the pool was already freezing, so they would definitely get sick after taking a bath like this.The two had no choice but to wash their faces with cold water and went back.

In the guest room, Jiang Fengmin hugged Shu Yunci, "I never imagined that we would have such an adventure after climbing a mountain. Yunci, do you think we are blessed by heaven?"

Shu Yunci's pointed chin rested on Jiang Fengmin's arm, "How do you know it's not a test from the heavens?"

"Whatever, as long as I'm with you." Jiang Fengmin put his arm around Shu Yunci's waist, rubbing it lightly.

"Being a guest, behave yourself!" Shu Yunci knocked off Jiang Fengmin's hand, which was about to move.She rested her head on Jiang Fengmin's arm and closed her eyes.

The bright moonlight penetrates through the window paper with excellent light transmission, and the interior is bright without lighting.Shu Yunci pulled Jiang Fengmin's hand over his eyes with some annoyance, and continued to sleep in satisfaction.

In the darkness, she felt Jiang Fengmin's lips fall on her own. She hesitated for a moment, but finally opened her mouth indulgently.

Encouraged, Jiang Fengmin deepened the kiss, but it was just a kiss.

At dawn the next day, Shu Yunci opened his eyes, and before he could see clearly what was in front of him, his lips felt hot, and he was successfully stolen by Jiang Fengmin again.

"Morning." Jiang Fengmin's smiling face magnified in front of his eyes, Shu Yunci pushed him away in disgust, turned over and sat up.

Breakfast is porridge corn cakes, served with side dishes made of mountain mushrooms, delicious and appetizing.

Wen Wuying ate very little, about the same as Shu Yunci.So Jiang Fengmin and Hu'er wiped out the rest of the food.

The dishes and chopsticks were removed, and after Hu'er brought hot tea, she went down to wash the dishes.Jiang Fengmin knew that Shu Yunci wanted to chat more with Wen Wuying, so she helped Hu'er wash the dishes.

"Miss Wen, thank you for taking me in last night. I have been wondering how Miss Wen recognized the two of us?" Shu Yunci can judge that this Wen Wuying has no intention of harming others, so it seems that he is not her enemy or friend .So how can a person who has lived in the mountains for a long time be able to see the identities of the two?

Wen Wuying thought for a while, "Can Your Majesty know astrology?"

This is to point out Shu Yunci's identity, so Wen Wuying can hardly say that Jiang Fengmin and Shu Yunci's coming here is just a coincidence.

Astrology Shu Yunci didn't understand, "Astrology told you that I would come here?"

Wen Wuying shook his head. "The astrology just tells me that there will be a distinguished guest. As for why I recognize His Majesty..." She pointed again, "Because I recognize him."
