Light Red Northern Song

Concubine Xi's coffin stayed in the palace for only five days before being moved to the funeral palace. Today, on the seventh day of October, it has been placed in the funeral palace for ten days.On this day, the funeral ceremony is still going on in an orderly manner.

"Qi Empress, Her Royal Highness Princess Jingwu has entered the outer city, and it will take less than an hour to enter the palace."

"His Royal Highness King Yong, look, she was born as a son of man, but she looks like a son of man." Chu Shanyi said to the next head.

"This time Yingyin Hou asked for his illness and refused to return, he really cherished his life." Qi Yongyao replied.

"Cherishing life is also caused by my suspicion of this palace." After Chu Shanyi finished speaking, he ordered: "pass on, and when Princess Jingwu comes back, let her come to see this palace first."

"Yes, ma'am."

"This child was very smart when he was young, but now he has grown up, but he has become a little reckless." Qi Yongyao said again.

"Reckless? I don't think so. She has been the most transparent child in Qi Gong's generation since she was a child. She dared to return to Beijing so blatantly this time. She is a little filial and courageous."

Qi Mingxuan had already returned to Beijing last night, and met He Lu and others in the suburbs of Beijing.She asked about the situation that night in detail, and Xia Yan also told her one by one on the spot.

She stepped into the city with complicated emotions, but she didn't want something unexpected to happen just before she walked far.

In Shangxuan Palace.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Something has happened!" Qin Wang ran in from the outside with a flustered expression.Aware of his loss of composure, he walked forward slowly for a few steps before reporting in a confused manner: "Qi Empress, the Bingwu Gate was flooded, and many thieves appeared from nowhere, and now the city is in chaos."

"What do you mean?" Chu Shanyi asked, looking at Qi Yongyao, then at Qin Wang.

"Uh, ma'am, there are thieves haunting the city, hurting people everywhere. The Bingwu Gate also leaked for no reason. San Tong and others are busy trying to rescue them."

"How's the situation?"

"According to the report from the guards of the Bingwu Gate, the situation is a bit serious."

The two masters glanced at each other a few times, but neither made a sound.

"Where's Princess Jingwu?" After a while, Chu Shanyi asked again.

"It's gone, it should be that I didn't enter the inner city, and lost track in the outer city."

"How does His Highness King Yong think?"

"Yingyin Hou took care of her illness, but she wanted to go back to Beijing so clearly. Could it be that she had already prepared for it?" Qi Yongyao asked Shangshou.

"If that's the case, it's a bit like her style of acting." After Chu Shanyi finished speaking, he ordered: "Send someone to look for it. If you find it, don't hurt her."

"Yes, yes." Qin Wang responded repeatedly and then withdrew.

In a laneway somewhere in the outer city, several people looked inside.

"Your Highness, it seems that the empress is going to arrest you. Why don't you leave first?" Xia Yan asked.

"I'm going back to Beijing for the funeral, and now I haven't even seen my mother and concubine, how can I leave?"

"Your Highness, just now that group of people tried their best to kill them, it's better to leave first in view of my humble position." He Lu said.

"Yes, Your Highness, it was useless for me to persuade you last night, but something like this happened when you entered the city today. Please take care of yourself and don't fall into the trap." Xia Yan looked out again and said.

"Your Highness, let's escort you. Hurry up and leave the city. Only when you have a useful body can you plan for future affairs. Wouldn't it be unfair if we were all stuck here today?"

Qi Mingxuan thought for a while, and there were only these people around him, so he really couldn't bear to make a mistake.She walked a few steps, knelt down slowly facing the direction of the Royal Funeral Palace, closed her eyes and said in a low voice: "Mother Concubine, wait for me to come back to worship you."

Several people followed the cover, and it took some effort to leave the city through the Renzi Gate.

"Your Highness, is it okay to go back to Yingyin County?" He Lu asked.

"No, I can't go back." She lowered her head and thought for a moment and replied, "I'm going to Li Cangshan."

"Your Highness is going to find that Chu Zhenyu? They have left Beijing for more than ten days, we have to hurry up to catch up, but there are hundreds of soldiers and guards accompanying her, so what if we can catch up?"

"It is impossible for all the accompanying guards to go up the mountain. I can go up the mountain and wait for the opportunity."

Xia Yan and He Lu looked at each other and said: "Your Majesty will go down with you."

"Your Highness, take a few of them there, and stay in the capital to take care of them." He Lu said.

Qi Mingxuan looked back and forth at a few people before replying: "No need, Xia Yan alone is enough, you need them more than me in the capital."

After a little preparation, the two rode away on horseback.

On the other side, the further north the royal team went, the stronger the wind and the colder the sky.

"When I left the Northland in early September, the weather wasn't like this." Jing Rou opened the curtain and looked out a few times and said.

"Your Highness, we are currently in the north, and it is already mid-October, so the weather is so cold. Well, according to the distance, we will arrive at the foot of Li Cang Mountain in two days." Qiu Yi Replied.She is slightly younger than Xia Le, and she is a little more flexible.

"Hey, Your Highness, if we can arrive in two days, you can celebrate your birthday at Shimen." Lin Yuan said.

"I don't care if I celebrate my birthday or not. Then I have to ask your uncle when he can go down the mountain."

"What is Your Highness going down the mountain in such a hurry?" Lin Yuan asked.

"There is no hurry, I just want to live a free life."

"Freedom? Traveling around the world? Haha! Your Highness, you have to take me with you."

"You are everywhere." Jingrou replied, glancing at her.

"Hmph! Employ people to face forward, but don't use people to face backward. You are still from the royal family, and you have no dignity at all."

"You also come from Xianmen, what about your bearing?"

There was some cold wind blowing in from outside the car, Jing Rou slowly lowered the curtain and asked.

"Oh, it seems that there is only one person in the world who can control you, Your Highness." Lin Yuan pouted.

Jingrou smiled a little when she heard this, she closed her eyes and ignored her.

Two days later, in the early morning, I finally arrived at the foot of Li Cang Mountain.Jian Chen discussed with Peng Quanmei, another guard leader assigned by the palace, before reporting to the master.

"Your Highness, Mr. Peng said that he led three hundred guards to set up camp at the foot of the mountain, and we will take the remaining two hundred up the mountain."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Daoist Holy Land, two hundred people?" Jing Rou replied in a low voice.

"That's right! Bringing so many guards up the mountain will not only hinder the cultivation of our sect, but also affect those fellow Taoists and believers who go up the mountain." Lin Yuan also protested.

"Then, what does Your Highness say?"

"Two hundred people are too many, you can go and count twenty people." Jingrou answered and looked up the road up the mountain, feeling a little guilty in her heart, then turned her head and asked, "Why is this mountain so familiar?"

"Your Highness has been here? No, you haven't been here." Lin Yuan followed and replied.

"Perhaps all the mountains in the world are similar. It is true that I have never been to such a high mountain." After she finished speaking, she looked around and said, "Master Jane, let's make arrangements, there is no need to discuss it."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Everyone rectified and began to go up the mountain.The carriage was no longer usable, and Jingrou felt sweet again when she thought of sitting in front of that person and going up the snow-slushy mountain range.

"Your Highness, you don't know how to ride a horse. Do you want to walk today?" Lin Yuan asked with a wicked smile.

"There aren't too many outsiders here, so don't worry about being rude. The Taoist priest has superb riding skills, and I will ride with you." Jing Rou replied indifferently.

"Hey! We won't be able to ride horses for two hours on this road, and we still have to walk for half an hour on the mountain road."

"Well, walking for half an hour is nothing to me, let's go."

Everyone was on the mountain road, and they really saw a few believers walking. Jing Rou sat behind Lin Yuan and asked, "Is there a guest room for believers?"

"Yes, when we were young, we needed to place our horses outside the mountain gate, where there is a wing room for receiving believers. They enter the mountain gate in the morning and leave the mountain gate at night. They live in the outer wing room and cannot stay overnight at the master gate. We entered the mountain gate , it takes half an hour to walk to the temple. There are three main halls, three small halls, and two valleys for practicing in the temple. The three small halls are places where Taoist friends come and go to practice and live, and the three high halls It is the place where the brothers and sisters of Shimen attend classes and live in Qingxiu. Further up is Guimei Peak, which is very dangerous, and I have never been there."

"Then, what about the two valleys?"

"There are two valleys, one is for my master, and the other is for my brothers and sisters to retreat."

"Your master, do you still have a dedicated valley?"

"Isn't that right, no one else is allowed to enter or leave there normally."

"Oh, your master's status is so high." Jing Rou sighed.

"Hey, Your Highness, your tone is not kind. My master is a boy from the lower realm. My uncle said that she is the most talented and spiritual person in this mortal world."

"Why don't those witches bother her?"

"Huh? I don't know about this."

The two chatted for a while, and soon went outside the mountain gate. There was a plaque on the top of the mountain gate saying "Tailiang Temple".Everyone was doing registration and other things, and re-arranged who would stay here. At this time, everyone felt that it was much colder here than down the mountain.

Qiu Yi took a black sable fur robe from the carriage and put it on the master, Jing Rou smoothly gathered it around her shoulders.

"This is strange, it has already snowed at this time in previous years, why hasn't it snowed this year?" Lin Yuan scratched his head and asked in puzzlement.

"What's so strange about that? It will happen when God wants it, who can predict it? Do you think everyone is as magical as your master and uncle?" After Jingrou finished speaking, she saw Jian Chen coming over and asked: "Everything is arranged Is it gone?"

"It's all over, Your Highness, is it really appropriate to keep ten people here? If we go up the mountain like this, only ten people will be left by His Highness's side."

"Oh, Jian Chen, what's wrong with going back to the teacher's school?" Lin Yuan shouted just after finishing speaking: "Senior sister, senior sister!"

A Kun Dao dressed in a white cotton robe approached nearby, stood in front of several people and said, "Xiao Dao Linchan has seen you all."

"Senior sister! This is Her Royal Highness Princess Jingrou. Are uncle and master here?"

"Your Highness, Xiaodao is polite." Lin Chan bowed again.

"The priest is free."

"Are the uncle and master here?" Lin Yuan asked.

"Junior Sister, Master is not in the audience, it will probably take some time before he returns. As for Shishu, I don't know."

"Okay, then senior sister, let's go in now. Hurry up, maybe we can catch lunch." Lin Yuan waved his hands and walked forward after saying goodbye to senior sister.

After Lin Chan bowed to say goodbye to everyone, she returned to the courtyard where believers were received.

Jingrou walked a long way and looked back, a woman stood in front of the courtyard gate at some point.His face was covered with a bluish-white gauze, covering most of his face, and he was leaning on the bamboo fence outside the courtyard to look in his direction.

"Your Highness?" Qiu Yi called softly when he saw his master turned around, then he glanced back and said, "That woman seems somewhat familiar."

Jing Rou was slightly surprised, not only because the other party felt that the person at the mountain gate was familiar, but also because of her eyesight.Thinking of this, he turned his face and said, "Your eyesight is not weak."

"Heh, the servants learned martial arts in the palace when they were young." Qiu Yi bowed his head in a shy manner and replied.

"Do people in Qi like to practice martial arts?"

"That's right, Your Highness, Qidi is already a martial artist, and even more so in the palace. The sisters who learned art together when they were young, most of them were picked up by His Royal Highness Princess Jingwu after learning well."

Jing Rou accidentally tripped over her.

"What's the matter, Your Highness?" Qiu Yi quickly reached out to help.

"It's nothing." Jingrou adjusted the corners of her clothes, looked up at the other party seriously, and muttered in her heart, not understanding why the person in front of her suddenly mentioned that highness.She asked a little worriedly: "Why did you mention Miss Sanhuang all of a sudden?"

"Huh?" Qiu Yi glanced back again before replying, "I just remembered."

At this moment, Lin Yuan turned around and raised her hand, pointing to the east and shouting loudly: "Your Highness, look, that place of cloud and mist is Master's hidden valley, and no one is allowed to be summoned or step into it." She then pointed to the west He pointed and said: "That place is where we retreat, and it's called Jiesi Valley."

"Oh, the name is good." Jing Rou was absent-minded, and after lowering her eyebrows to think, she answered by looking east and west a few times.

"Haha, go, go, I can't wait to go back."

"It's been a long time since you were so anxious, but today you want to make such a gesture, I don't know if it's real or fake." Jing Rou looked at the man's hurried back, shook her head and said helplessly.
