Chapter 488: The Task of Wisdom Fighting the White Lotus
"It's easier to deal with this." Si Haochen also thinks this is good news. After all, if General Su is really successfully set up by Jin Pingmei, this child will be the biggest stain in his military career.
"Let the third uncle send someone to send her to the imperial capital as soon as possible." It is necessary to let the eldest uncle know about this matter, and it can also alert others.
"Yes." Si Haochen nodded, "Then the prefect should also check carefully. This is a border fortress and nothing can go wrong."
"Oh, then let me talk to my third uncle." Mingruo nodded.
"I told him personally about this matter, and I will also send secret guards to accompany him to escort Jin Pingmei."
Since the other party wants to drive Jin Pingmei into the general's palace, he may have another plan.
"I'm going to write a letter to my grandfather, and you ask the secret guard to take it with me." Mingruo felt that his grandfather and uncles were all straight-laced and honest, and they were enough to withstand Xiao Bailian's tears, so they wouldn't be attacked later.
.
"Perhaps... it would be more effective to write to grandma." Si Haochen said with a smile.
"Oh, yes." Grandma is definitely the leader of the family. It is more reliable to leave such an arduous task to outsmart the White Lotus to her.
Mingruo walked to the desk, added a little water to the inkstone, picked up the ink stick next to it, and opened it carefully.
Mingruo didn't bother to think about those elaborate wordings and explained the matter about Jin Pingmei's uncle Jin Pingmei concisely and clearly.
It was emphasized that she might be a spy sent by Xikang, and she should be closely monitored and paid close attention to who she comes into contact with. It would be better if the hidden clues buried in the imperial capital could be uncovered...
Mingruo read through the written letter and felt that nothing was missed. After the ink was dry, he sealed it in an envelope and stamped it with a wax seal.
Si Haochen took the letter written by Ming Ruo and went to find Mr. Su San.
Mingruo was too lazy to go out, so she walked around the yard. When she walked to the flower bed with rock landscaping, she saw a lot of succulent plants, which were quite cute.
"Master, what are you looking at?" A Yuan knelt down next to Mingruo.
"These flowers and plants look quite interesting." Ming Ruo touched the fleshy and thick leaves.
"There is a mountainous area behind the Witch Palace where many such flowers and plants grow. There are more types than here." A Yuan seemed to be lost in memories, "There is a kind of white-skinned moon world that is like a candle and can be lit directly with a fire stick.
.”
She will never forget the day when the Witch Palace was occupied by the black witch, and the hillside burned into a sea of fire, reflecting the night sky red...
Mrs. Su San and Mr. Su San wanted to welcome Prince Yun and his wife, so they prepared a sumptuous dinner. Knowing that they could not stay at home to celebrate the New Year, they specially cooked some special New Year dishes from border towns.
"Ruo'er, try the steam pot chicken and money ham, which are the chef's specialties." Mrs. Su San introduced it to Ming Ruo.
"Okay, I'll try them all." Mingruo tried the steam pot chicken. The soup was fresh and the meat was tender and quite healthy.
This dish is good, and the 'steam pot' used to cook it is also very special. Mingruo decided to ask the chef about it later, and if it was not difficult to make, she would buy a steam pot and cook it.
After dinner, the maid removed the remaining table and served tea. After hearing Ming Ruo's comment, Mrs. Su San was interested in how to cook the steam pot chicken, so she called the cook over and asked him to explain how to cook it.
Mingruo listened and realized that it was not difficult. It was just a steamed soup dish. She decided to buy a steamer and make a replica of it when purchasing new year's goods tomorrow.
That night, Jin Pingmei was sent overnight to a cargo ship bound for the imperial capital.
At first, the soldiers escorting her saw that she was a woman and did not want to embarrass her, so they just locked her in the cabin.
Unexpectedly, she seduced the boatman and almost made her spread the news.
Several people discussed it, and in order to prevent Jin Pingmei from acting like a monster again, they simply tied her hands and feet, gagged her, and took her to the bottom of the cabin and locked her up with the cargo.
I only deliver food and water once a day, as long as I can reach the imperial capital alive.
The bottom cabin was so bumpy that Jin Pingmei, who was not prone to seasickness in the first place, felt dizzy and wanted to vomit when she came down. But her mouth was blocked, and if she vomited filth, it would probably come out of her nose.
Able to endure it to the death.
She didn't know when this dark wandering would end.
From the border town to Yunzhong Temple, it can be reached in four days at most. Therefore, Mingruo and Si Haochen, carrying a carriage of New Year's goods, hurried on their way.
It was already evening when the group of people arrived at a small town in southern Yunnan. Ming Ruo asked Shi Shi to drive to the inn where they stayed last time and stay overnight. He planned to call a 'messenger' to take them into the lost forest early tomorrow morning.
As soon as they entered the inn, they saw a young man coming to greet them: "Senior Sister Mingruo."
"Ah, it's An Xin." Mingruo was a little surprised, "Did you come down the mountain to do something?"
"Yes." An Xin smiled and nodded.
"Have you finished your work? If it's done, we'll go back together." Mingruo felt that artificial intelligence navigation was more accurate than a messenger.
"The Lord sent me to pick you up. I've been waiting here for three days. If I don't pick you up again today, I have to send a message back to ask if you went back by another way." An Xin
He patted his forehead and said, "Senior sister, go back to your room and rest first. I will send a message back to say that I have received you."
"Okay." Mingruo nodded.
The next day, Mingruo woke up fairly early, washed up, came out of the guest room, and planned to set off after breakfast.
As soon as I reached the stairs, I saw a man in white clothes sitting at the middle table of the living room on the first floor.
A little silver fox scratched the hem of his clothes with its paws.
Mingruo said as he went downstairs: "Brother, why are you here too?"
"Master asked me to go down the mountain to pick you up." Jun Che tilted his head slightly and looked at the people coming down the stairs.
"Didn't you already ask An Xin to come? Why did you ask senior brother to come again?" Ming Ruo sat down at Jun Che's table.
"Master said that An Xin alone cannot express his feelings of welcoming you back. Master originally wanted to come in person, but he was worried about Mr. Qing Wei's eyes, fearing that he would not be able to hang the peach charm." Jun Che's lips curved slightly.
laugh.
He became a disciple of the Lord at the age of seven and lived in Yunzhong Temple for more than ten years.
It is said that the years are long in the mountains, but there is no such thing as celebrating the New Year in Yunzhong Temple.
This year, Master heard that Junior Sister was coming back to celebrate the New Year, and he immediately lost his composure.
Anyway, when he came down the mountain in the early morning, the whole Lingyun Peak was decorated with lights... I don't know, I thought it was some wealthy family who wanted to get married.
Si Haochen called the waiter to order breakfast, and Mingruo ordered a few snacks, as well as the special breakfast here - thin bean noodles.
"Senior brother, have you had breakfast?" Mingruo chose a crispy bun with ham and white sugar filling, which was sweet and soft, her favorite taste.
"Already used." Jun Che picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip.
Mingruo looked at the white jade tea cup in his senior brother's hand. This was definitely not something the inn could provide - it turned out that the person with mysophobia was not her boyfriend, but her senior brother...
