"Your Highness, shall we go to Dalingzi Village tomorrow?"
The third prince shook his head and said: "No hurry!"
The third prince did not go to Dalingzi Village immediately, but sent his most capable subordinate to Dalingzi Village to inquire.
Two days later.
The third prince's people are back.
He reported everything that happened in Jiang's paper workshop to the third prince.
The third prince pondered for a moment and then said: "You mean the person who made the paper is the youngest granddaughter of the Jiang family?"
"That's what the people in the workshop said!"
"The girl named Jiang Xiaohua ran away from home?"
"Your Highness, that's exactly what it is!"
"How old is Miss Jiang this year?"
"Turns fourteen by the end of the year!"
"Oh! They are about the same age, and both have the same surname: Jiang."
The subordinate looked up at the third prince in surprise.
What is the third prince talking about?
Are you talking about the same thing?
What does being about the same age mean? Who is about the same age as whom?
This subordinate said that he had not followed the third prince's thinking.
Don’t understand!
The third prince's thoughts returned to that day, when the black-faced boy walked away carefree.
His back was slender, and he didn't look like a boy.
Is it her?
Jiang Xiaojiu!
After being silent for a long time, the third prince said to himself: "Could it be..."
"Tell me more carefully, did Miss Jiang leave by herself or was she accompanied by someone?"
"I heard that he brought a strong girl named Xiaoba with him. They left together. No one knew when they left. They left quietly in the middle of the night. No one in Lao Jiang's family knew. People in the workshop said that since Miss Jiang left,
Well, the quality of the paper produced in the workshop is different from before, not as good as before! I heard that only Miss Jiang knows about the most critical process, and some people say that Mr. Ling knows about it.
The gentleman is the Crown Prince Ling Wenjing, but how can the Crown Prince know how to make paper!"
When the subordinate said this, he looked up and saw the corners of the third prince's lips raised, with an obvious smile.
this?
Did the third prince understand?
The people who can make paper are not in Dalingzi Village. In this case, why should we bring members of Lao Jiang's family to Beijing?
The third prince suddenly laughed: "Of course the prince doesn't know how, the one who knows is Miss Jiang, so pack up and get ready to set off!"
The subordinate asked in surprise: "Your Highness, are we leaving now? Aren't we going to Dalingzi Village?"
The third prince smiled and said: "Otherwise! The rest of the Jiang family don't know how to do it, so why bring them back to Beijing? The person we are looking for is Miss Jiang!"
"Your Highness, Miss Jiang ran away from home and no one knows where she went? Let's..."
"Just go south!"
"Going to Jiangnan? How did His Highness know that Miss Jiang went to the south?"
The third prince said with a smile: "Not only do we know that she went to the south, but we have also met her. Okay, let's get ready to set off."
The third prince was in a very good mood.
The third prince came to Yuntang Town.
The people of Lao Jiang's family were still kept in the dark and didn't know what they had missed.
…………
Jiang Xiaohua and Xiaojiu stopped and walked along the way.
Half a month later, we arrived at a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters.
It's out of the blue and out of touch.
Jiang Xiaohua and Xiaoba climbed up a nearby hillside. They stood high and could see far.
Another talisman array was set up.
Booked a place.
"Little master, are you looking for a place for us to rest tonight?"
It's great to follow my little master.
Even if there is no village or town, the little master can still find a place to live.
Along the way, the young master also earned a lot of money, so he didn't have to worry about food and drink.
Jiang Xiaohua chose the place: "That's right! There is a good land to the west! Let's go there."
The two of them were in tandem.
Xiaoba is hungry.
I'm embarrassed to say it, but her belly doesn't care about that.
Gurgling incessantly.
Jiang Xiaohua smiled, took out a roast chicken from her pocket and handed it over: "Eat this first to make up for it. After the work is finished, let's have a good meal later."
"Young master, you eat too!" Xiao Ba pulled off a chicken leg.
Jiang Xiaohua waved her hand: "You can eat! I'm not hungry!"
Jiang Xiaohua took Xiaoba to a place.
There is a spring there, surrounded by trees.
Jiang Xiaohua and Xiaoba unexpectedly found a tree house built by an Orion. The tree house was not big, but it had quite a few things inside.
It's totally fine to spend a night here.
Jiang Xiaohua climbed up with Xiaoba.
Half a month has passed.
The cold moonlight fell down, the surroundings were quiet, and all the trees and the pool of water glowed with a light blue sheen.
After Xiaoba had eaten and drank enough, he was already fast asleep.
Jiang Xiaohua easily climbed down from the tree house.
I walked to the edge of the pond, took out paper, pen and cinnabar from my pocket, and drew a talisman array in the air.
Take out the piece of jade.
Place the jade in the middle of the talisman array.
He closed his eyes and sang softly.
This chanting time is very long.
Jiang Xiaohua did not suppress her voice, it was her original voice.
The clean sound is like the snowflakes flying all year round on the snow-capped mountains.
Cool and elegant.
The chanting sound floated out in the wind like ripples in the lake.
From that piece of ancient jade floated a group of beautiful women with graceful postures and beautiful faces.
One by one, they laughed and joked and floated out of the ancient jade.
The talisman array is activated.
A stream of light golden light flowed out from the center of the talisman array.
Extend outward.
The woman named Xiaolan looked at Jiang Xiaohua with a smile: "Little sir, it's great to be able to go to the road of reincarnation in such a beautiful place! Thank you, little sir!"
Xiaolan has a beautiful smile, with two small dimples on her cheeks.
The soul body was surrounded by light golden light.
Xiaolan blessed herself with Jiang Xiaohua.
"Hail, little sir!"
The golden light flashed and turned into a field of stars.
One by one.
These light spots drifted away in the direction guided by the talisman array.
After all the ghosts are sent to reincarnation.
Jiang Xiaohua stood quietly facing the pool of water for a while.
Until the light golden talisman array completely disappeared.
Jiang Xiaohua then returned to the tree house and closed her eyes.
Waking up in the morning is a new day.
The reason why Xiaoba is so strong is because he has a broad heart and a fat body.
As long as there is something to eat and drink.
Then there is really no need to worry about anything.
When Xiao Ba came down from the tree house, Jiang Xiaohua had already walked back into the early morning light, holding a pheasant in her hand.
Xiaoba immediately rushed forward to greet him.
Xiaoba is now extremely familiar with small things like cleaning up pheasants.
After cleaning up, Xiaoba found a place to make a fire quite experiencedly.
The two of them finished eating the roasted pheasant.
He drank the glucose that Jiang Xiaohua took out from his pocket.
After eating and drinking, go down the mountain.
Traveled for half a day.
Haven't walked out yet.
Ahead is a forest.
…………
"Your Majesty, the mountain ahead is quite big. It's getting late now. I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of this forest before dark!" Asahikawa said to Ling Wenjing in the carriage.
