Do not kiss the king

Chapter 27 Traitor

As soon as he came out of the bamboo forest, he saw several soldiers patrolling not far away.

Ruan Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously lowered the hat on his head, not seeing the expression of the man in front of him, and let him lead his horse forward.

"Over there! Who!"

"Stop stop!"

Several soldiers turned their heads when they heard the sound of horseshoes, surrounded them vigilantly, and drew their swords at the two on horseback.

"dismount!"

A cold light flashed from the tip of the sword, and the person in front didn't move at all. Ruan Yuan watched as his clothes were gently lifted by the wind, and then a low, shocking voice sounded,

"If you let me go, I will go."

"I don't even know your last name, why should I listen to you?"

Ruan Yuan opened his eyes wide, and suddenly remembered that he had said the same thing to Chi Jin the day they first met, and knowing that he intended to play tricks, the nervousness melted away.

The soldier was very angry and stared straight at him, but when he met Shangchi Jinnian's eyes, he was suppressed by his aura, cleared his throat and said,

"We are ordered by the Seventh Prince to interrogate passers-by. Are you going to disobey the order?"

Chi Jinnian raised his eyebrows with interest,

"Oh? That lord's order, we mere people, naturally dare not disobey it."

"I don't know the seventh prince, who do you want to find?"

The soldier had a serious face, and felt that he would not be fooled by seeing him, so he said,

"Before King Jin passed away, he entrusted the princess to the care of the Seventh Prince."

"It's impossible to imagine that the princess was robbed by traitors."

"Come down, we'll search you, and then we can leave."

When Chi Jinnian heard this, his eyes darkened a little calmly, but the corners of his mouth were still raised high,

"That's it, but the little brother behind me and I are both men, and the princess you are looking for is not here."

The soldier turned his head to look at Ruan Yuan, frowned and said,

"No, there is something wrong with this young man at first glance. He is so small and so innocent. Come down quickly!"

After saying that, he took a step forward, thinking of Ruan Yuan's horse, but was suddenly grabbed by the collar.

Seeing the momentum, several other people took a few steps forward one after another, narrowing the encirclement, with nervous expressions on their faces.

Chi Jinnian was about to lift the soldier up with one hand, and the anger and warning in his tone could no longer be hidden.

"No one can search him."

"Before I chop off your dirty hands, get lost."

Those soldiers then showed fierce faces, and approached without saying a word, trying to pull Chi Jinnian off his horse.

Ruan Yuan's heart was about to jump out of his chest, and then he watched helplessly as the man kicked away the soldier he was holding, grabbed his sword with one hand, and the rest of the soldiers fell to the ground in a flash .

Although he didn't hurt his vitals, there was blood all over his body.

Ruan Yuan smelled the smell of blood suddenly spreading in the air, his eyes widened subconsciously, and then the man in front turned around and pulled the horse rope in his hand hard.

Ruan Yuan saw that he was smiling, and the fine pieces of sunlight were scattered by the bamboo leaves and fell on his face.

Then he said,

"You have almost learned the art of riding, and you have a race with me."

"See if your white horse can beat my black horse."

Being drawn by something, Ruan Yuan's eyes were firmly locked on his face, and all the wailing and blood were gone, and there was only him and his black horse in front of him.

He raised his foot and kicked the horse's belly, and the white horse raised its hooves and rushed forward.

The moment he jumped over Chi Jinnian, Ruan Yuan clearly saw his fiery eyes fall on his shoulders, bringing those fragments of sunlight to dance into a flower.

Ruan Yuan caught his gaze, and gave him a burst of happiness from the bottom of his heart, then turned his head, skillfully manipulated the reins, and ran towards the bliss outside the bamboo forest.

The black horse of the man behind him was chasing after him, and the man's soft shout was obviously very small, but it covered the sound of several weak footsteps.

Ruan Yuan didn't need to look back, because he knew that Chi Jinnian would always be behind him.

And in this horse race, the winner was determined from the beginning.

---------

It was raining, and the rain was a little heavy, which wet the girl's white skirt.

The girl's skirt was stained with splashed mud. She held an umbrella in one hand and carried a bundle in the other, but her figure was clean and elegant.

It seemed that there was some tenacity, with the yellow sand blown from afar, caressing her face.

"Girl, take a break."

"I followed you up the mountain and followed you all the way."

An old woman's voice sounded behind her, Li Wuyue turned her head to look at her, then turned her head and saw a pavilion over there,

"Grandma, I'll help you to the pavilion, you should rest for a while."

The old woman looked at her, paused, then smiled, nodded and said,

"Then it's time to work."

Li Wuyue then walked over, lifted the burden to her shoulders, held the old woman's arm,

"Come."

"Girl, what do you want when you come to Sanqing Mountain?"

The old woman let her hold her arm and watched the rain hit her sleeve wantonly.

Li Wuyue's eyelashes trembled slightly,

"Please, an answer."

She took out a handkerchief to wipe off the water on the stone chair, "Grandma, you can sit here."

"It's raining so hard, girl, you still have to go up."

Li Wuyue smiled at her, "It's okay."

"I've been here, and my clothes are dirty. Let's finish the rest of the way in one go."

The old woman also smiled, her eyes lightly fell on her face,

"Girl, you must be able to meet Taoist Sanqing."

"The answer you asked for will be found."

"I have been on the mountain for so many years, and I have met countless people, but none of them have been able to meet Taoist Sanqing as they wished."

"But you, you can."

Li Wuyue was stunned for a moment, with complicated emotions flashing in her eyes,

"Mother-in-law, I would like to lend you a good word."

"To see Taoist Sanqing, what do you need?"

The old woman narrowed her eyes slightly, and raised the corners of her mouth again,

"What he wants, you already have."

"Go quickly, there is still a long way to go up the mountain."

Li Wuyue nodded and didn't ask any more questions. She opened her umbrella again and slipped into the rain curtain alone without looking back.

The old lady disappeared when she stepped on the stone steps, leaving a lot of fireflies flying in the pavilion.

Li Wuyue walked to the top of the mountain in one breath, and saw a magnificent building in the mist that covered her eyes.

The fog dissipated, and the tall plaque read "Yongqing Pavilion".

She wiped the sweat from her forehead, and the exhaustion from running around suddenly dissipated.

There was no one around, but a premonition rose in her heart, and she was getting closer and closer to the answer.

Suddenly, the door in front of him was opened, and an immature child walked out, wearing a white Taoist robe,

"Pilgrim, come in."

Li Wuyue put away the umbrella in response, although the clothes on her body looked a little embarrassed, the determination on her face wiped away all the embarrassment.

"Thank you little Daoist."

She walked to a lobby with several cushions lined up in front, but the cushions were empty in front of them, facing the fog below the mountain.

The Taoist leader brought out two steamed buns from nowhere,

"To meet the Taoist priest, first kneel on the cushion for seven days."

"After seven days, practice in the pavilion for another 20 days."

"Afterwards, the Taoist priest will decide whether to meet or not."

Li Wuyue's eyes didn't waver at all, she took the steamed bun from the Taoist leader, and said in a low voice,

"Thank you, Taoist priest, for your suggestion."

"It's work."

I have survived for eight years, so this bit of suffering is nothing.

In short, she will know the answer.

Her life and Chi Jinnian's life were closely linked, she had known for a long time.

-------

"It's raining."

Chi Jinnian and Ruan Yuan sat on the verandah on the second floor of an inn in Luozhou City, watching the rushing river in front of the inn wash away the protruding stones over and over again.

Chi Jinnian rested his chin on the young master's head, and the young master had already fallen asleep in his arms.

In the past few days, I took him to ride horses and experience the fireworks in Luozhou. This young man is tired, but very happy.

Because I have truly been the man of an ordinary family.

The rain did not mean to decrease in the slightest. Chi Jinnian smelled the fragrance of the young master's hair, and slightly lowered his head to kiss the top of his hair.

It's raining, Ruan Yuan.

In the next life, I will meet you again, and I will leave all the tenderness I can think of to you like this.

Suddenly, a patch of red rose from the far horizon, dazzling.
