Early the next morning, when the first ray of sunlight hit the bottom of the valley, four people stood neatly on their swords.

After being trapped for twenty years, I can finally get out.

Looking at the valley bottom getting further and further away, Xianwang and the other three were already guessing what they would see first when they came out of the valley.

At the first stop, Lin Mufeng fed the sword blood.

At the second stop, King Xian tried to inject internal energy into the sword, but the sword absorbed all of it.

From the third foothold, you can already see the wider sky and the top of the cliff.

On the last flight, the four of us were extremely nervous. We must not fall short in the last bit of effort.

With the dual inner strength blessing of King Xian and Lin Mufeng, he finally flew out of the deep valley.

Then he changed direction and flew less than ten steps away from the cliff. The sword was exhausted and fell to the ground with a bang.

Four people were thrown down violently.

Lying on the soft grass, smelling the fragrance of the trees around them, and looking at the vast blue sky, the four of them cried with joy.

It's so damn good to be alive.

Even the air is sweeter than the valley bottom.

Xian Wang and the other three no longer remember where this place is, but fortunately Lin Mufeng still remembers it.

He led the three of them down the mountain.

The prince looked surprised at everything he saw.

"What's this?"

"What is that?"

"This butterfly is more beautiful than the one in the valley."

"Can this fruit be eaten?"

…

Along the way, the prince was curious about a hundred thousand whys like a baby.

Xian Wang and his wife patiently answered one by one, and Lin Mufeng did not feel noisy.

It would be nice to come out alive.

At the foot of the mountain, there was a small wine shop, but the four of them didn't have any money.

Four people stood in front of the wine shop. You looked at me and I looked at you, but no one could open their mouths.

How could such a majestic king, princess, and prince ever eat for free?

In the end, Lin Mufeng had to shamelessly step forward.

It was noon at this time, and there were many customers at the top.

When the store owner heard that these four people wanted to eat for free, he gave Lin Mufeng a blank look and went about his own business.

The people eating all looked at him with disdain.

He looked like a human being and looked like a dog, so it turned out that he wanted to eat for free.

It doesn't matter if the four of us leave, it doesn't matter if we stay.

It's still a long way from here to Maple Frost Pavilion. I'm hungry and don't know when I can get there.

The four of them were too shy to stay any longer, so they had no choice but to continue on their way hungry.

After walking for a while, a carriage caught up from behind.

The middle-aged man driving the carriage stopped the carriage and walked up to the four people.

"Where are you four going? If you don't mind, you can ride with me and my wife."

"Let's go to Maple Frost City." Lin Mufeng stepped forward and answered.

"What are you going to Maple Frost City for?" Hearing that these four people were going to Maple Frost City, the middle-aged man looked wary.

This middle-aged couple are Zhuo Yunfan's parents. They received a letter from their son a few days ago, saying that they had found their junior sister's daughter and Feng Haotian's descendants, and they wanted to come to Jiangnan to have a look.

Along the way, I heard a lot about the Feng family in Maple Frost City, and I knew that the Feng family was in dire straits right now.

"Let's go home. My home is in Maple Frost City." Lin Mufeng felt the other party's vigilance, so she didn't lie and told the truth.

The word "go home" made the three Xian Wangs burst into tears.

Zhuo's father did not dare to be careless.

Lin Mufeng touched his body and found nothing to prove.

"Madam, you can get in the car. You can follow me." Even if you can't tell the difference between friend and foe, you still have to be careful. "If no one knows you when we get to Maple Frost City, I will definitely not take you in."

"Thank you, brother." The four of them thanked Zhuo's father.

The princess got into the carriage, and Zhuo's mother gave her dry food to eat, and gave some to the three men outside the carriage.

The prince filled his stomach and continued to be curious, chattering all the way.

Zhuo's mother glanced warily at the woman sitting opposite her from time to time.

Although the woman wears a hairpin made of coarse cloth, she has a faint sense of nobility.

When eating, take small sips, no sound, no residue.

She should be a woman from a big family.

But that kid outside, does he look like a country boy who has never seen the world? Even worse than a country boy. At least he doesn't ask endless questions about the flowers and plants on the roadside.

Prince: I'm offended.

"An'er has never seen the world and made Madam laugh." The princess was very sorry.

"It doesn't matter, I don't think Madam comes from a small family, so why..." Women are naturally curious.

"An'er fell into a deep valley with us when she was five years old, and she just came out of the valley today." Princess Xian didn't want people to think that the prince was a fool.

"My wife's family fell into a deep valley, but they were harmed by others? Do you want to report it to the official?" No matter whether you are a good person or a bad person, you should first deceive your son's territory.

"No need. If you can come back alive, let's just forget about it." The officials in Jiangnan are very bad. Who knows if the current ones will be even worse?

"I heard that there is a selfless imperial envoy from Jiangning Mansion, who has some friendship with the Feng family in Maple Frost City. When you arrive in Maple Frost City, ask him to make the decision for you."

"Really?" The princess smiled, noncommittal.

"Let me tell you..." Zhuo Mu talked all the way, telling the princess the terrible things she heard about Maple Frost City on the way.

When the carriage drove all the way to Jiangning Mansion, it was already dark.

When the carriage arrived in front of the Yamen of Jiangning Mansion, King Xian stopped instinctively. When he saw the princess getting off the carriage, he protected the princess and the prince behind him.

Lin Mufeng also looked wary.

"If the situation goes bad, I will block it and you can run away first." Lin Mufeng whispered to King Xian.

Zhuo's parents went to the door to hand over the note.

Soon, a young man came out of the Yamen and saluted Zhuo's parents.

When the Zhuo family's parents turned around, they saw the four people, all on guard.

"Madam, the imperial envoy I told you is my son. Don't worry, he will definitely make the decision for you." Mrs. Zhuo invited them into the house.

"The four of you here are very grateful for the help of Dexian and his wife. It's getting late today, so I won't bother you." Lin Mufeng thanked the Zhuo family and his wife and left with Xian Wang and the others.

"These people have unknown origins, keep an eye on them." Zhuo's father told Chu San.

Zhuo Yunfan is not in the government office, and the Zhuo family's parents plan to rest for one night and rush to Maple Frost City early tomorrow morning.

Entering Jiangning Mansion is Lin Mufeng's territory.

Lin Mufeng led Xian Wang and the others to turn left and right and arrived in front of a small courtyard.

Knock the door gently.

Hearing two loud knocks on the door and one soft knock on the door, the people in the room were stunned for a moment, thinking they heard it wrong.

After waiting for a while, the knocking on the door came again, twice loudly and softly at the same time.

The man was so excited that he stumbled over to open the door without even putting on his shoes.

The lantern in front of the door was not big, but it was enough for him to see the face in front of him clearly.

"Master, Master, is it really you?" The man in his sixties was so excited that he burst into tears. This man's surname was Sun, and he was a veteran of the Meng Family Army who took care of Lin Mufeng's daily life.

"Uncle Sun, it's me." Lin Mufeng helped the old man walk into the yard, let Xian Wang and the others into the yard, and closed the door.

"Child, why are you back before the Ghost Festival?" The old man's trembling hands wanted to touch Lin Mufeng's face, but he was afraid that the touch would be in vain.

Lin Mufeng, who was originally in a sour mood, almost laughed out loud at the old man's words. Uncle Sun thought he was a ghost.

"Uncle Sun, touch it." Lin Mufeng pulled the old man's hands to his face. The thick calluses on his palms still felt familiar.

"It's hot. You're still alive." The old man held the warm face and refused to let go for a long time. This was the child he watched grow up. Others said he would not come back, but he didn't believe it. General

Several times people were sent to ask him to return to Beijing for retirement, but he refused. He wanted to wait here until Lin Mufeng came back.
