virtuous king

Two days later, He Yunli and I met outside the city at the agreed time, ready to go south.

He Yunli is an upright official, and he is an upright official who is strict with self-discipline. Therefore, as an upright official, Mr. He dislikes me everywhere.

For example at this moment.

He Shangshu shook his gray eyebrows like a beard, and disrespectfully slapped me in the eye: "Your Highness, we are going south this time for disaster relief, not for sightseeing. You can ride in such a luxurious carriage. Forget it, why... still..."

Having said that, He Shangshu glanced at Liu Yanqing who was stuck in my arms from the corner of his eyes, with a worried expression on his face.

I felt very wronged, the luxury carriage that He Yunli was talking about was already the crudest in my house, and Liu Yanqing insisted on following him after arguing, why is it all mine now, isn't it?

The more I thought about it, the more depressed I became. I was full of grievances buried in my chest and had nowhere to vent, and I had to explain to He Yunli with nice words: "Don't blame Mr. He, Yanqing was also a scholar, and he was quite knowledgeable. Maybe I can help you a little bit, my lord, don't worry, I guarantee that Yanqing will not cause you any trouble. As for the carriage... It's a long journey, and this king deliberately chose one that can travel a long distance, so as not to be damaged in the middle. It will only increase the inconvenience, if Mr. He doesn't dislike it, you can ride with me."

He Yunli began to sigh when he heard that Liu Yanqing was a Juren, and he continued to sigh until I finished speaking. From the looks of it, it seemed that he was extremely disdainful of such a blasphemous literati bully like me, and he didn't want to stay by my side for a moment, let alone share with me. Take a carriage.

Although he dismissed me, but he was overwhelmed by a senior official, He Yunli had to be patient and listened to me. When he had a chance, he just bowed and said in a neither humble nor overbearing way: "Your Highness, take care, I have prepared myself, I dare not bother."

I raised my eyes and looked in the direction of He Yunli's finger, and saw a small dusty carriage standing alone not far away, and there was no servant beside the carriage except the groom.

Very good, very good, compared with He Yunli, an upright official, my image of a corrupt and treacherous king is more vivid and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

It was probably because He Shangshu didn't want to spend more time talking with me, a filthy and treacherous king, so he turned around and got into his little carriage.

A big carriage, a small carriage, plus two rows of soldiers escorting silver, this team going south for disaster relief has enough people.

Along the way, I was thinking about Chu Hong's intention to send me south this time. If he really believed in my loyalty and let me go on this fat job, I would have a million people who didn't believe me and went with me. He Yunli is the evidence. If Chu Hong really believed in me, he would definitely not let He Yunli, an old-fashioned old man, look at me.

But if he doesn't believe me at all, he won't let me out. After all, judging from my bad behavior in the past, let alone one He Yunli, there are ten, so what can I do?

After thinking about it, I felt that Chu Hong probably meant to test something, and there was another one--taking me away from the capital for the reason of disaster relief was also convenient for him to do some small tricks.

In fact, I didn't mind his movement at all, not only didn't I mind, I even wanted to cry and beg him to move quickly.

When it was getting dark, the wind blew up, and Liu Yanqing and I were sitting next to each other on the side of the carriage, Dou Zi, who was accompanying us, dropped the curtain of the carriage swiftly, then retreated tactfully, and sat outside with the driver.

With a yell and another, the carriage swayed away. The snow was really heavy. The shallowest part was below the knees all the way down. A small half of the wheel was sunk in the snow. I was drowsy most of the time in the carriage, and I would feel better when I passed through towns to eat and rest occasionally.

Traveling in ancient times was really hard work. Sitting in the carriage, I suddenly missed the magic trick of being a fairy that can fly through the clouds and fog. No matter how bad it is, the cars and planes back then could do it. But if there is one thing, why should I? As for suffering so many crimes.

On the third day of the journey, He Yunli's small carriage fell apart, and the dilapidated carriage was now completely scattered, leaving only a pile of wood and a horse.

The carriage broke up, and the coachman could still follow me on horseback, but He Yunli, a 54-year-old Shangshu, couldn't. He had no choice but to endure his reluctance to ride with me.

Since He Yunli got into the car, Liu Yanqing has been complaining of a headache, and he has gotten into my arms and closed his eyes to rest his mind. Therefore, the current situation is that I am sitting on one side with Liu Yanqing in my arms, and He Yunli is sitting on the other side with his back upright, and He Yunli and I are facing each other. , relatively silent.

The atmosphere was rather awkward.

Liu Yanqing seems to have found some fun recently, relying on knowing my identity as a sinful fairy, no matter how domineering I am when I am alone, I always pretend to be cowardly and docile in front of outsiders. Dumb loss.

To be honest, ever since I knew Liu Yanqing's thoughts, I was actually very afraid of being alone with him. One is that every time I talk to him now, I have to go over what I want to say in my heart first, and I can't just joke around. Liu Yanqing is too smart, even though I have been so careful, he can still find many clues from the few words I deleted or deleted.

I returned to Dachu this time, in the final analysis, in order to accumulate enough merits as soon as possible, and return to immortality to see Yaoguang. If it is not necessary, it is better not to get entangled with ordinary people.

Speaking of fluttering light is also strange, when I think of him these days and nights, it is no longer the calm feeling of the past few days, the vague feeling of admiration seems to be slowly recovering, This kind of discovery made me very happy, and I even thought, even if there is no love, Fluctuate is still the white moonlight that I have been thinking about for hundreds of years and cannot give up. I must still like him, and I will always like him.

In the midst of embarrassment, Douzi got into the car with the air conditioner all over his body, frowned and said to me: "Your Highness, it's not too good, we probably won't be able to make it to the next town tonight."

I said: "What?"

Douzi covered his face and sneezed, raised his hand and rubbed the tip of his frozen nose: "The mountain road is blocked by heavy snow ahead, and the carriage can't get through. I'm afraid we have to wait until tomorrow to climb up."

Hearing this, Liu Yanqing raised his head from my arms, opened the curtain with one hand and looked out, and sure enough, he saw a vast expanse of white snow that covered the entire mountain, and it was impossible to find the way.

I thought for a while, then turned my head and asked He Yunli: "It seems that I can't continue my journey today, would Mr. He mind being wronged in the carriage for one night?"

He Yunli shook his head and said: "This little grievance is nothing, it is far worse than the people who are suffering from the snowstorm."

I said: "That's very good, let me go down and set up some tents before it's dark, and then find some dry firewood to make a fire. I'm wronged to sleep outside tonight."

It was night, and after making sure that everyone was asleep, I took off my cloak and put it on Liu Yanqing's back, got out of the carriage lightly, trotted around behind a stone against the wind, put my hands to my lips and whispered : "Land - land - you come out, I know you are at home."

There was no movement.

I tightened my collar, which was blown crooked by the strong wind, and continued to shout persistently: "Land, come out quickly, I promise you won't let your help be in vain!"

As soon as the words fell, the land really came out from under the ground.

Although the land here is also a girl, she is no longer the girl I met in the capital. I can't remember the names of these lands, so let's call her No. [-] land girl.

The No. [-] land girl looks only fourteen or fifteen years old, and her head reaches my chest. I think she has been in the deep mountains and old forests for a long time, and her personality is not as bold as the No. [-] land girl in the capital. Seeing me, Jiao Didi Di Fu Body said: "Xing Jun."

Although the eyes are not as green as the No. [-] land girl, the tips of the ears are red and transparent: "Mr. Xing, I can see you alive. In the first two days, my sister and Xiaoxian showed off the book of spring with your signature." Remember, you, can you... also sign a copy for Xiaoxian?"

I staggered on the soles of my feet and almost fell on my back into the snowdrift.

Seeing that I looked a little unhappy, the No. [-] land girl pulled my sleeve with her mouth flattened, and said insistently, "Xingjun just said that, and won't let Xiaoxian help for nothing."

I said complicatedly: "Isn't it good to give you other rewards?"

The No. [-] land girl tilted her head and considered for a while, then hesitated and said, "Xingjun first ask Xiaoxian for help."

I arched my hands and made a gesture of accompaniment, and said hesitantly: "It's not a big deal, I just want you to open up this mountain and make a tunnel for us to go over. This mountain is very high. If you really want to Lost the carriage and climbed over, I don’t know how long it will be delayed.”

Land girl No. [-] looked at me with her red face upside down: "Well, it's not impossible, and I don't want to sign because of Xingjun's appearance. It's not too late for you to regain your immortal status."

I thanked you repeatedly and bought myself just for such a small road.

Many years later, when I really regained my immortal status and saw the No. [-] land girl again, I truly and deeply realized what it means to be a human without appearance—of course, this is a story for later.

I don't have the ability to predict the future, so at this moment, I am quite happy selling myself.

After solving the road problem, I went back to sleep in the carriage refreshed, and early the next morning, under the guise of going out for a walk, I accidentally found a small road, and led a group of people swaggering across the mountain. I was back to shit luck, no doubt about it.

After walking through the snow-capped mountains for another two days, we finally arrived at our destination safely.

Today, I helped someone make a salary table for a whole day. The update was a bit late, and the level that was not high has dropped a bit. Forgive me.
