Song You was about to go down the mountain. As soon as he took a step, he suddenly stopped and looked in another direction.
There is a carriage coming slowly there.
There were two people walking in front of and behind the carriage, and two people were following behind. Although they only wore cloth robes, they were all tall men with strong vitality and blood. They were three points richer than the masters in the previous escort team. They had swords and kettles hanging on their waists.
On the other side hangs a bow and quiver. If he is not wearing official robes, he is wearing the common attire of military attachés and attendants in Changjing.
The carriage in the middle was a bit larger than ordinary carriages. It didn't have any decorations that symbolized status. It was just an ordinary oilcloth that seemed familiar to Song You.
Song You frowned.
Suddenly he blew a breath downward.
"call……"
A breeze suddenly blew on the mountain road.
This gust of wind was very gentle. It did not blow sand and rocks, nor was it very cold. It only blew the grass and trees in the mountains, blew the warriors' hair, and lifted the curtains of the carriage.
There were two people sitting inside, a young maid and a woman who looked to be in her fifties.
It is Princess Changping.
"..."
Song You was silent for a moment, then stepped forward.
Princess Changping's carriage came around the mountain. When it came here, there was a Taoist standing next to the official road, a bay-red horse, and at its feet stood a calico cat with its head raised and looking around.
The two guards in front looked at each other, wary but did not move rashly. They continued walking, staring at him with squinting eyes.
Song You knew that they were nervous, so he did not act rashly. He only waited for the carriage to reach a distance that was convenient for conversation but safe enough, then he raised his hand to salute and took the lead in announcing his home address:
"My surname is Song Mingyou, a Taoist from Yizhou. I once had a relationship with the princess, so you are polite."
"!"
With a groan, the carriage stopped immediately.
The two guards in front immediately stretched out their hands and grasped the handles of the swords at their waists. The two guards in the back also moved forward, standing on the left and right of the carriage, taking off their bows and arrows, both protecting the carriage and staring at the Taoist.
"No rudeness!"
A voice suddenly came from the carriage.
Then with a swipe, the car curtain was opened.
The princess opened it herself.
The princess, who already looked old, looked out and was suddenly stunned for a moment. She seemed to remember that she had seen the Taoist in Beijing that day but didn't recognize her. After a while, she quickly got out of the carriage and was helped respectfully by the carriage driver.
The pair of embroidered shoes finally stepped on the grass, and then he quickly took his hand away from the coachman and saluted the Taoist:
"It's Mr. Song! So polite!"
"I didn't expect to meet the princess here."
"I have been demoted to a commoner long ago, and am no longer a princess." Princess Changping shook her head, keeping her salute posture still, and continued to look at the Taoist and the bay red horse and calico cat beside him, "I have been growing up for a long time.
I had always admired my husband since I was in Jing. I had long wanted to visit him, but I heard that my husband was as indifferent by nature as a wandering cloud and a wild crane. He was most afraid of being disturbed by others, so I never saw his true appearance. This was still my biggest regret until I left Changjing.
1. But I didn’t expect that I was lucky enough to meet my husband once outside Changjing City. Unfortunately, I was blind and didn’t recognize my husband’s true face. I didn’t expect to see my husband in Yaozhou, which is so far away from Changjing.
, it is truly a blessing for three lifetimes.”
It's a long paragraph, clearly said and nice to listen to.
"Last time we met, I didn't bring my horse with me, and the children around me also turned into human forms. It's not consistent with the rumors. There are so many people in Changjing, so the princess has never seen me, so it's normal for her not to recognize me."
"It would be great if I could see you sir sooner."
Princess Changping couldn't help but sigh when she said this.
"I heard that the princess was demoted to Anmin County, why did she come here?" Song You asked in confusion.
"I think Mr. Lai also knows that once I arrive in Anmin, I can never leave that place again." Princess Changping shook her head and smiled, no bitterness, no regrets, very calm, "It's only been February in Yaozhou and it's already very hot.
It seems that the heat has been intense, and there is a lot of miasma along the way, but it is already February in Fengzhou and it is still very cold. Maybe I am old and wake up from the cold every night. I feel that I have spent most of the rest of my life on this journey.
Even if I arrive in Anmin, I'm afraid I won't have long to live. Thinking about how I have worked for Dayan for most of my life, running the country for His Majesty, apart from coveting the prosperity of Yangdu, I have been to Yangzhou several times in my youth to have fun, but I have never seen it.
This is a great country, so I checked the passing officials and wanted to take advantage of this demotion to have a good look at my country, Dayan."
"I see."
Song You nodded and thought for a while before saying to her: "It is said that when I went south this time, I also walked with the girl Wanjiang from Hexian Tower for a while, and finally separated in front and came down to Zhengxi, and she
I went to visit the princess in Anmin County where the princess was originally supposed to be, and said that the princess left in a hurry last time and did not send her off properly. I wanted to visit the princess."
"Wanjiang?"
The princess was stunned for a moment, and then her expression became complicated.
"What's wrong?"
Song You stared at her expression.
"well……"
The princess couldn't help but sigh, with a touch of emotion and guilt in her expression: "I just saved her life at the beginning, but in the past ten years, I have relied on her too much. Even if it is a life-saving grace, I am afraid it will take many years."
I had already paid it off a long time ago, but she never complained. I originally said that if I, if I could accomplish something great, I would make her a god, but in the end I couldn't. I didn't expect that she would still be willing to come and see me off..."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's been really difficult for her these past years. It's me who owes her this friendship. How can I bear this friendship..."
Song You withdrew his gaze.
After another silence, he spoke:
"I wonder how the princess met her at that time? How did she save her?"
"oh?"
The princess couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Ordinary people may not be able to hear anything, but when she heard it, she immediately realized something was wrong: "Why do you ask, sir?"
"It's okay if the princess doesn't answer." Song You said, "I just happened to pass by here and met the princess. If I had any doubts, I just asked."
"I heard that Fulong Temple is the pinnacle of humanity. I, Dayan, also helped to establish the world with the help of Fulong Temple. I am not far away from the gate of hell, and even further away from the Changjing court. Sir, I want to ask you anything.
Naturally, there is no reason not to answer." Princess Changping first expressed her position and attitude, and then said, "When I was young, I was greedy for the prosperity of Yangdu, so I went to Yangzhou. At that time, Yangzhou Sima was holding a meeting outside the city.
During the hunt, many local celebrities and courtesans were present. Sima Yangzhou invited me to watch and play with him, so I went."
"Hunting?"
"The mountains outside the city are not high either." Princess Changping said, "A famous man shot a rabbit in the hind legs with his bow and arrow. However, the rabbit was very smart. After being caught, it kept
He bowed his hands to people, as if begging for mercy. The little man found it interesting, so he asked me to come to me and offer him to me. As he said, the rabbit kept bowing his hands, and when he saw me, he turned around and bowed to me.
, I knew at that time that it had opened up its spiritual wisdom and had attained the Tao and became spiritual.”
"continue."
Song You's expression has darkened.
The princess looked at him and kept talking: "Although there are differences between monsters and humans, cultivation is not easy after all. Even if a rabbit becomes a spirit, how much harm can it do? In addition, seeing how pitiful it was, she ordered someone to reward the young man.
You replaced it and spent a few days healing its injuries before letting it go. Who would have thought that many years later, it would come back and want to repay me."
"that's all?"
"I don't dare to deceive you, sir. This matter was not widely spread in Yangdu at that time, and it has only been about twenty years. If you, sir, are interested, go to Yangdu and inquire about it, and you will know the truth and falsehood."
"..."
Song You's eyes flashed and he smiled.
When this happened, the first thing that arose in my heart was surprise.
What a good calculation.
Princess Changping saw it but didn't know why. She only asked with concern: "Sir, what's the problem?"
"That Miss Wan Jiang from Hexian Tower is not a rabbit, she is a fox, an eight-tailed demon fox, with hundreds of years of life and thousands of years of Taoism, a rare great demon in the world."
The Taoist's calm voice came.
But this calm voice caused huge waves in Princess Changping's heart.
There was almost a roar in my ears.
It's not a rabbit, it's a fox!
Eight-tailed demon fox!
Hundreds of years of longevity!
Thousands of years of Taoism!
Every word sounded like thunder in her ears.
Is this the little gray rabbit that he rescued in Yangdu and was almost shot to death by a bow and arrow? Is this the rabbit spirit who came to Changjing to repay his kindness and has no other magical powers except for his piano skills?
No wonder she proposed to visit the gentleman in front of her. She said that he had a weak nature and disliked these human interactions the most. He hated being disturbed the most and would not let her go.
And now she went to Anmin to visit herself.
Princess Changping suddenly felt cold all over, her scalp was numb, her body shook, she almost lost her balance and almost fell to the ground.
The driver quickly supported her.
The Taoist's voice came from in front of me.
"Don't be afraid, princess. It's hard to say what the nature of that fox is, but she is very smart. Even if she goes to visit the princess, she won't do anything to her. And based on my guess, what she said about visiting the princess is just to deal with us.
According to the excuse, she has not gone at all and will not go. Even if she had the intention to murder the princess, it is meaningless now. The princess can rest easy. "
Princess Changping was in a trance at this time. Her voice was so erratic that it seemed to be ringing right next to her ears, and then it seemed to be coming from a far away place, even with echoes.
It's a pity that she has been good at calculations and strategies throughout her life. She once single-handedly helped her father to the throne. Before the imperial advisor, she controlled the government by herself and created such a prosperous age. After that, she tried to take the throne. Although she failed, she was only defeated by the emperor.
The teacher still had the world's etiquette. This made her regretful at most, but did not frustrate her. She never thought that she had been deceived by a monster for ten years without knowing it.
"Thank you princess for informing me that it's hot in Yaozhou. Please take care of yourself and take my leave."
By the time the princess reacted, the Taoist had already gone away.

I heard someone say in the previous chapter that if you add more updates, you will get a monthly pass. I don’t know if it’s true or not. I added it first. It’s up to you to exchange sincerity for sincerity.
