Cheng Yu was very suspicious of the thatched cottage courtyard in the dense forest in front of him. He couldn't help but listen attentively, filtering out the intensive chirping of cicadas. He could indeed hear that there were two people in the courtyard. Looking at the breathing movement, it was not...
Practitioners like Colonel Jinwu should be just two ordinary mortals.
No matter how much I opened my consciousness, I didn't notice any obvious fluctuations in spiritual power. I guess the Captain Jinwu mentioned by the little princess must be here secretly or not.
After the little princess changed her clothes, she turned around and came out. She reached out to take the big cloth in Mu Yun's hand to cover her and change her clothes. When Mu Yun saw this, she hurriedly shouted softly:
"Oh, I can't do that! How dare I bother you? I'll just walk into the woods myself."
After Mu Yun finished speaking, he took the official uniform and was about to go into the forest. At this time, Cheng Yu and Jia Fei had already rushed nearby. They saw the female official next to the big tree being grabbed by the arm by the little princess:
"It's too late, and Lin Shen is in danger. Although you and I are master's servants, we are sisters. Please stop following the rules at this time, hurry up!"
After the little princess finished speaking, she stretched out her arms and spread the cloth to cover Mu Yun. Mu Yun hesitated with a mist in his eyes, but was pushed and pulled behind the cloth by the little princess.
"Although I am a servant to my master, I love my sisters..."
At this time, Jia Fei was not far outside the woods, staring at the back of the little princess holding up the cloth, while murmuring and repeating what the little princess had just said, thoughtfully.
After some rustling, Mu Yun changed into the fifth-grade female official uniform and official hat. The two of them put the plain uniforms they had changed into back into their robes. Mu Yun accompanied the little princess and walked back to the two sweating horses.
The white-hoofed black-collared horse stood in front of him, and he stroked the horse's head a few times, then turned around and walked towards the small courtyard in the dense forest.
"I see...I see..."
The further they walked, the louder the cicadas screamed. The two little princesses lifted up the hems of their skirts slightly, exposing only the toes of their shoes. They stepped on the layers of fallen leaves under their feet and walked on a faint path.
Cheng Yu and Jia Fei followed dozens of steps behind him. Cheng Yu flew above the branches, but Jia Fei's feet naturally made no sound.
In fact, in the current environment, even if the sound of feet is made, it will be covered up by the chirping of cicadas that fills the ears.
Watching the two women walk to the small courtyard, they stopped and stood in front of the door of a small bamboo courtyard. Above the door, there were pieces of bamboo that simply spelled out the word "Cicada Garden".
The two young princesses stood in front of the door without pushing the door open, as if they were waiting for something.
Sure enough, a few breaths later, a middle-aged eunuch emerged from an inconspicuous low hut nearby. He rubbed his eyes. After seeing the person clearly, he hurriedly walked to the little princess and saluted and asked:
"Hey! My slave, I respectfully welcome Princess Wan'an. Why are you here, Jian Xing, at this time?"
"I would like to ask my father-in-law to report to Grandpa Huang for me. There is something urgent in Anting and we urgently need to see you."
The eunuch frowned when he heard this, and Jia Fei behind him was surprised. He never thought that the ruler of the land of Kyushu was not in the huge palace, but in the small courtyard behind the palace, which was like a hermit's residence.
Cheng Yu was not surprised by this. After all, he knew that there were few serious emperors in the past dynasties.
Moreover, the current emperor ignores government affairs and only loves immortality, so it is normal for him to do anything outrageous.
The only thing that makes him feel strange is that since the emperor is here, why is there no purple energy here?
"I see...I see..."
The eunuch heard that the princess had something urgent to do and wanted to see the saint. He looked behind her and saw that except for a female official who was accompanying her, there were no other attendants. He couldn't figure out the situation for a while and could only say with a confused expression:
"To return to the princess, Your Majesty has been busy all morning. He just drank the nectar and is taking a nap right now. How about you..."
When the little princess heard this, she couldn't care about anything else and said to the eunuch: "Ten Thousand Blessings":
"Please, father-in-law, please report to me that there is indeed an emergency in Anting."
"Oh, my empress! How dare you, my slave, to treat you with such great courtesy? I am atonement for my sins!"
When the eunuch saw that Anting actually wished him a long blessing, he was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a plop and kowtowed.
The little princess saw that the eunuch seemed stupid, but in fact he was very tactful. He knelt on the ground and just kowtowed to beg for mercy, but never got up. This not only gave him enough face, but also did not have to go in to report and shock the emperor.
After she frowned and pondered for a while, she stopped paying attention to the eunuch at her feet, raised her head and said loudly to the bamboo gate of the small courtyard in front of her:
"Who wakes up from the big dream first?"
"Hey! My princess! If you startle the Holy Master..."
When the eunuch heard the little princess standing at the door and yelling, he was so frightened that he forgot to knock his head. While struggling to get up, he whispered to dissuade her in a panic.
But before he finished speaking, he heard a three-point dry, seven-point sharp sound suddenly coming from the courtyard, which spread through the layers of cicadas to the outside:
"I know myself all my life."
When the young princess heard this, the solemn look on her face finally faded away, and she continued to speak loudly regardless of the eunuch's obstruction:
"An Ting pays homage to Grandpa Huang. Grandpa Huang will enjoy immortal blessings forever and live as long as heaven."
Enjoy immortal blessings forever and live as long as heaven?
Cheng Yu couldn't help but smile in his heart when he heard the last two sentences of the little princess.
"As expected, it's your little Anting, tell her to come in!"
The voice in the courtyard sounded again.
"According to the order!"
The eunuch hurriedly agreed, wiping the sweat from his forehead and getting up from the ground.
"Squeaky!"
After reaching out and pushing open the bamboo door, the eunuch lowered his head and stepped aside, revealing the true appearance of a simple and somewhat crude courtyard.
After the little princess simply straightened her clothes again, she stepped in alone, while Mu Yun, the female official behind her, stayed outside the courtyard and stood with her hands down.
And further away, there was a person and a bird hidden in the dense forest, staring at the small courtyard.
'Jia Fei, do you still remember the reign name of the current emperor?'
Cheng Yu stood on a high branch and sent a message to Jia Fei to ask.
"I remember it, Jiarui Chao."
'How old is Jia Rui? Do you remember how old you were when you ascended the throne?'
'Last year, I remember it was the twenty-sixth year of Jiarui. This year it should be the twenty-seventh year... I really don't know how old you were when you ascended the throne. Why does Brother Cheng ask this?'
Twenty-seven years...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! According to common sense, he is considered an old emperor. No wonder he has to do his job and leave the land of Kyushu, where refugees are everywhere and the war is raging, to build a thatched cottage here.
Thinking about cultivating immortality and immortality.
He stood on a branch and was about to call Jia Fei to come closer to the thatched cottage. Suddenly, his consciousness felt a surge of spiritual power under his feet. An old captain in green clothes appeared from the tree trunk, standing on the top of a patch of grass, closing his eyes and looking towards
Looking in the direction of Jia Fei, he cupped his fists and saluted:
"My fellow Taoist is polite, may I ask why you are here?"
Jia Fei was stunned when he saw this. He knew that the other party had saluted first but had not yet attacked, so he returned the salute with clasped fists and at the same time sent a message to Cheng Yu to ask how to deal with it.
'Give him the Double Dragon Jade Pendant given by King Yu, saying that he was entrusted by King Yu to secretly protect the little princess.'
Jia Fei followed the instructions and explained to the captain in green clothes. At the same time, he took out the brocade pouch from his lapel, opened the pouch and took out the jade pendant inside.
She showed the jade pendant to the captain opposite, but the captain didn't look at the jade pendant in the cat demon's hand. Instead, his eyes began to emit a trace of blue light, staring at the mouth of the brocade bag.
At the same time, Cheng Yu, who was above them, also saw that after Jia Fei opened the bag, in just one or two breaths, the exquisite dice inside began to emit purple light, and it was even brighter than before.
Three points.
When Jia Fei saw the other party staring at the mouth of his bag, he immediately lowered his head and noticed the abnormality of the exquisite dice. He quickly tied the bag tightly. At the same time, he subconsciously looked up at Cheng Yu above his head, attracting the old captain to follow him.
He raised his head and scanned the top of his head with green light in his eyes, but found nothing unusual.
‘There is something wrong with the exquisite dice, it should be that another one is nearby.’
Cheng Yu sent a message to Jia Fei.
‘Isn’t it just in the small courtyard in front?’
The two of them were transmitting messages here, and the green light in the eyes of the captain in Qingyi had dimmed. He could only see his face as dark as water. He muttered for a moment, then clasped his fists and saluted, then turned around to make way, and made a gesture towards Jia Fei.
Said:
"please!"
Jia Fei was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect that she would pass the test, but her reaction was true and quick. She immediately returned the gift and left silently towards the small courtyard.
When she was only a few feet away from the small courtyard of the thatched cottage, she turned around and came to the side of the thatched cottage, hiding behind a big tree and looking into the courtyard.
"I see...I see..."
The surroundings were filled with the chirping of cicadas, and the entire thatched cottage courtyard was surrounded by the sky and dense forest. Even though the sun was shining brightly at this time, only specks of sunlight could shine into the courtyard.
Cheng Yu flew to a big tree next to the small courtyard. As soon as he landed, he realized that he was as if he had fallen into a cicada's nest. Up, down, left, and right, there were as few as two or three, as many as seven or eight, on the main trunk and branches.
Lying down, one just knows.
These cicadas were about the same size as Cheng Yu's impression, but their entire abdomen was completely golden. Each one had golden translucent cicada wings flapping and chirping one after another, which was really beautiful.
He looked for a quiet branch and looked down at the small courtyard. Only then could he see clearly that the three thatched cottages in the small courtyard were arranged like a golden cicada spreading its wings.
The little princess was currently dressed in palace attire, standing solemnly and gracefully in front of the thatched cottage with a cicada-shaped trunk in the middle, until there was a "squeak" sound, the door pivot of the thatched cottage twisted, and the two wooden door panels in the middle were pulled open from the inside.
But no one came out.
"come in."
When the words came out from the thatched cottage, it was still the same voice.
After hearing this, the little princess hurriedly thanked her, then stepped up the two steps and stood in front of the thatched cottage door.
She half lowered her head and glanced into the thatched cottage. Although the sun was blazing in the sky at this time, the sunlight in the dense forest was blocked ninety-nine times, and there were only two lamps in the large thatched cottage, making it even darker.
.
It was empty inside, with only a gauze-woven screen standing in the middle. The screen was covered with cicada-shaped patterns of different sizes embroidered with gold thread.
Through the translucent screen, one could vaguely see a person sitting on a couch behind the screen, holding his chin with one hand, looking like he had just woken up.
Anting stepped in, stopped in front of the screen and subconsciously wanted to say 10,000 blessings, but then he woke up and knelt down directly:
"Your Majesty, my granddaughter An Ting is here to bow down. This time I was so reckless. I really have urgent matters to report. I was unfaithful for a moment. I beg your forgiveness."
"Xiao Anting, I can probably guess that you are here in such a hurry, but you can relax. With me and the Jinwu Guards here, your Prince Yu and his family will be able to sleep peacefully. Alas..."
As the emperor spoke, he sighed inexplicably and continued:
"Actually, you don't have to be so anxious. Look at my incompetent royal brothers. Back then, each of them made more trouble than your uncles do now. But what about now? Aren't they all still alive and well?
of?"
"But the King of Jin has taken people to the Xishan Villa this morning. It is said that he has just sent an order to the Jinwu Guards to imprison my parents and all the brothers."
"Huh? You girl is very well informed, but you also said that your Prince Yu's family is under the custody of the Jinwu Guards, so what is there to fear? The Jinwu Guards are supposed to protect the blood of the Daliang royal family.
If there had been no Jinwu Guards back then, your Imperial Grandfather and I would have sent those brothers to accompany the late Emperor... Don't worry, um... Now that I'm here, let me ask you, have you been able to create something new recently?
Objects coming?”
Princess Anting was obviously not in the mood to have a family affair with Jiarudi at this time, but she didn't dare not answer the question from her royal grandfather, so she had to deal with it carefully.
At this moment, Cheng Yu'er, who was standing on a branch, heard the sound of carriages and horses in the distance.
He filtered out the noisy chirping of cicadas around him and listened in the direction of the sound.
"Drive! Drive!"
He turned around and looked behind him, only to see a group of cars speeding towards him on the remote road where he came from.
The first car was the spacious and luxurious King Jin's car.
