At dawn, Hua Fan said goodbye to Xie, got up and left Mingyue Xi. The narrow jungle path he came from had been buried in thick vegetation ash in the fire.
Hua Fan stepped on the way home, one step deep and one shallow. After walking a long way, he turned around and saw that Xie was still sitting by the river. His old and hunched body was like a thin sculpture. Smoke rings were swirling.
Winding up, it's like the storm shrouded in mist twenty years ago, whether it's the Five-Colored Edict or the King of Yan. Once the cause of some things is revealed, they are destined to be fruitless in life, until the last witness is about to die.
Even in his dying years, Feng Zhu’s ghost still lingers, his ghost lingers...
"If I still don't understand anything, I will come back to you." Hua Fan shouted to him from a distance. Inexplicably, she felt that figure was very lonely.
"Go away, you troublemaker, and don't come back again!" The old man scolded him back. I don't know if it was a curse or a blessing.
Hua Fan spread his wings and flew up, flying over the rustling treetops, getting further and further away from the bright moon. The endless dense jungle in his sight suddenly turned back into the half-dead green grassland in the wilderness. The tall city gate of Yuncheng has already
So close...
....
Hua Fan was worried. She didn't want to provoke Shangguan Jinnian anymore, so she decided to go see Xingtian and his wife first. She couldn't wait to get to the inn, but found that the building was empty.
"Boss, where is the couple living here?" Hua Fan asked.
"That couple paid their bill and left early in the morning before dawn." The boss replied enthusiastically: "By the way... you came to see them for the third time today."
"Is there anyone else looking for him?" Hua Fan asked doubtfully.
"Yes, a lot of officials came to see me twice at noon, and they kept asking if there were two people leaving or three people."
"Master Guan? Is it Shangguan Jinnian who is looking for them? No, it looks more like he is looking for me." Hua Fan thought, and then he had a little doubt: "He wants me to leave so much, how can he still look for me everywhere?
I mean, why did Xingtian and his wife leave so suddenly?"
When she was upset, there was a commotion at the gate, and Hua Fan heard the faint sound of sabers scraping from the commotion. There must be a lot of people there. She winked at the boss and hid behind a hidden screen in the hall.
Walking into a group of people, they turned out to be secret guards.
"Boss, is anyone looking for that couple today?" It was Zhu Ge's voice.
The boss knew that Hua Fan was hiding, but he didn't dare to disobey these officials, so he had to be careless and said: "Look, I guess no one is looking for me. I just went out and I just came back to the store."
"You'd better stop doing this. We are the emperor, so be careful what you put on your neck!" A secret guard said in a deep voice, his voice as cold as ice.
There was a sound of knees touching the ground. The inn owner knelt down and explained in a panic, but his tongue was tied and he couldn't hear clearly what he said.
It seems that Shangguan Jinnian is really looking for him. Hua Fan thought. An indescribable feeling came to his heart. He didn't know whether to believe it or to doubt it. A warm current flowed through his heart, gradually melting the ice.
.
"Zhu Ge." Hua Fan walked out from behind the screen.
Zhuge was a little surprised when he saw him, but he still said respectfully: "Greetings to the princess."
"What did he ask you to do with me?" Hua Fan asked, "I don't want to go back."
"Princess Princess, Your Majesty said that as long as he knows where you are, he is not allowed... not allowed to let you know..." Zhu Ge lowered his head, knowing that he had failed to complete his mission.
"Oh..." Hua Fan was also silent, not knowing what to say.
"It doesn't matter, just go back and recover, just say you didn't see me." Hua Fan suddenly felt that something that had been hanging in his heart quietly fell to the ground, and there was a sense of stability.
She turned around and walked out, walked a few steps and then came back and asked Zhuge: "Zhuge, do you know why Xingtian and his wife left? Where did they go?"
Zhuge thought for a while and said: "I haven't found out yet, but I guess he must have gone."
"Jiang Yucheng?"
Jiangyucheng is a city adjacent to Yuncheng. In ancient times, these two cities were battlegrounds for military strategists. The reason why they were named "Yuncheng" and "Jiangyucheng" combines the right time and place, and also shows that
The meaning of this place is the meeting between the wind and the clouds.
"Where are they going and what are they doing?" Hua Fan asked.
Zhuge hesitated for a moment and said: "Princess Princess, the war has begun."
Hua Fan's heart tightened. He didn't expect that things would happen so suddenly. It seemed that Shangguan Chiying was defeated for the first time in Yuncheng and was a little anxious.
Zhu Ge continued: "Your Majesty... the rebellious ministers were unable to attack Yuncheng, so this time they had no choice but to attack Jiang Yucheng, which is close to Yuncheng. I boldly speculate that Xingtian and his wife also went to Jiangyu City."
Zhu Ge is right, and Hua Fan also believes that if a war breaks out, Xing Tian and Lu Xiu must go directly to the battlefield."
"Zhu Ge, don't tell His Majesty that you have seen me." Hua Fan said, turned and left. Zhu Ge wanted to say something, but Hua Fan didn't give him a chance and walked out of the door in a few steps.
After taking two steps, he turned back as if he suddenly remembered something. "Your Majesty, won't you go to Jiang Yucheng?" Since the war started, Shangguan Jinnian has maintained the super power-saving mode of passive resistance. Hua Fan seriously doubted that he was still there.
In the governor's house in Yuncheng, there were three wives and four concubines, hugging each other.
Sure enough, Zhu Ge's face showed embarrassment, and he answered after a long time: "Your Majesty has not left the city, but... is still in the Governor's Mansion, and has issued an order that if you are found, you will not be allowed to go to Jiang Yucheng under any circumstances.
." He looked at Hua Fan's face and said, "Princess, it's useless for you to go out now. The city gate has been sealed. You can't get out of Yuncheng."
Hua Fan is so angry, Shangguan Jinnian! What the hell is he planning? Why is he retreating again and again when the enemy is facing an urgent situation? This is the behavior of an emperor with a heavy army.
As a result? Did he take the wrong medicine or is his brain flooded? If this continues, he will simply sit back and wait for death!
Hua Fan raised his eyebrows: "Well, I won't go to Jiang Yucheng. I'll go to the Governor's Mansion." After saying that, he stood up and left.
She thought, didn't Shangguan Jinnian just let two women out to make her angry? He underestimated her too much. She has never seen any monsters in these years, how could she have such a glassy heart? For two inexplicable women
Angry... okay, she admitted that she was very angry, but she wouldn't be afraid. Although she didn't know what Shangguan Jinnian was planning, and she didn't know if she could win against him. But no matter what tricks he had,
Which move is good? She will definitely use every move to figure everything out, dig out the truth about twenty years ago, and take back the Five Colors Zhao.
But she didn't dare to think about it, what if in the end, the truth she saw was not what she thought? What if Shangguan Jinnian was not the real culprit who destroyed the Tang family? After so many years
