It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the valley after the flood was full of insect frogs. As the scene became completely quiet, the sounds of frogs and insects began to fill our ears.
The scene was peaceful for a moment.
The weird atmosphere lasted for about a quarter of an hour.
The people didn't speak or get up. They just looked at each other one by one. In the end, I don't know who took the first one, stood up and started to go up the mountain.
Then came the second, third, fourth...
When he saw the originally disobedient people rushing towards the mountains, Zhang Qingjiu couldn't help but smile lightly and turned to look at the man beside him.
Chu Lan would come. This was something she could not deduce and it was also unexpected.
But she won't ask why he is here.
Because since people are here, what’s the point of asking why they appear?
Seeing that he also cast his gaze over, Zhang Qingjiu said: "Sure enough, what His Highness the Crown Prince said still works."
Although she had a way to make these people go up willingly, she still had to work hard. Chu Lan's appearance finally solved her urgent need.
but……
"Why do you know that's where it is?" Zhang Qingjiu squinted his eyes as he glanced towards the direction of the fire, and slowly raised his finger.
What she pointed at was exactly the same as what Chu Lan had just shown.
"Feng Zhi." Chu Lan glanced at her and stretched out her hand.
Feng Zhi, who was waiting by the side, naturally understood what he should do when he heard the call, but at this moment, he felt inexplicably conflicted.
In his opinion, this Zhang Qingjiu used to be so attractive to his Highness, even sneaking around at night, so why didn't her face show the slightest hint of joy when the two met?
But what I have to say is that there is another voice in his heart telling him that if he really wants to be his highness and crown princess, he must have extraordinary intelligence, extraordinary courage, and the courage to face danger in the face of righteousness.
A person with a great sense of right and wrong.
From this point of view, Zhang Qingjiu seems to be the perfect candidate.
Just like now, she is doing extremely well.
He didn't embarrass His Highness, nor did she bring herself down in rank.
Taking a deep breath, Feng Zhi took out a drawing from his arms and said, "This is the terrain map of Yongzhou sent by His Highness Prince Jing. There is one place on it that is different from the previous maps."
Taking advantage of the firelight to slowly unfold the scroll in his hand, Zhang Qingjiu took out the map of Yongzhou that he had brought with him from his arms. As the light moved closer, his eyes suddenly brightened.
Sure enough, it is so!
After all, although she had deduced Panshan, the weirdness of Yongzhou made her feel a little bit uneasy. Chu Lan's map could be said to give her peace of mind!
This dog man, wuwuwu, is really awesome!
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Qingjiu suddenly raised his head, hugged Chu Lan, and said happily: "His Royal Highness, you are really the lucky star of this humble minister!"
Her movement was so sudden that not only did the people around her fail to react, but even Chu Lan didn't realize she would do this.
Feeling the familiar breath entering her arms, Chu Lan squinted her eyes and slowly raised her arms. After struggling in mid-air for a while, she finally landed on Zhang Qingjiu's shoulders.
An audible voice said: "It's okay, Ah Jiu, I'm here."
Feng Zhi took a deep breath, turned around himself, and asked the followers around him to turn around as well. He now regretted giving such a high praise to this crazy woman.
How could he think that she was calm, calm and restrained?
She is obviously still the same person!
But he had to admit that when he saw His Highness's raised hand, he felt that there was nothing wrong with it, and that their journey was not worth it.
Hearing the soft voice next to his ear, Zhang Qingjiu felt a little sour in his eyes for no reason.
She had always claimed to be strong, but now her defenses were broken because of this man's words.
After all, he is still his dog.
Subconsciously, Zhang Qingjiu hugged his dog man tightly, feeling that this man seemed to have lost some weight. He immediately frowned and got out of his arms. When he looked at the black spots under his eyelids, he began to feel distressed again.
, "You have come all the way, and you probably haven't had much rest. You should go back to the prefect's mansion to rest first. There are envoys stationed there. I will go back immediately after finishing here with them."
"How long will it take?" Chu Lan lowered her eyes and asked.
Zhang Qingjiu looked back and pondered for a while, "It could be tomorrow at noon at the earliest, or it could be all night and one day at most."
"It doesn't matter." Chu Lan shook his head, not giving Zhang Qingjiu any chance to refuse. He turned around and ordered the guards following him to join the people who were moving mountains.
The hill blocking the spiritual eye is actually not that big. Zhang Qingjiu thought that if he lived in the Chinese mainland and used the high technologies he saw when his soul was wandering, it would only last for a breath. But now, what is it?
Nature plays tricks on people.
The soil of the mountains that grew up within three years is still pine, and the trees on them have not grown thick and lush. In addition, the guards sent by Chu Lan are even more powerful than two. The principle of strength in numbers has never changed. When the sky appears
When the fish belly turns white, light is faintly revealed in the originally dark places.
At that time, about four hours had passed since Li Zhang Qingjiu went up the mountain.
At first, she just stood beside Chu Lan, but at some point she joined the people's team.
Although he has never done it himself, he has command and control. Telling people where to start can be quick and efficient, which is actually somewhat effective.
In this way, the people who had originally despised her began to respect her again.
Wherever Zhang Qingjiu went, Chu Lan never left her five steps away.
Feng Zhi watched from a distance, finally sighed inwardly, and wiped the corners of his eyes against the mountain wind.
So be it, he said.
As the sky gradually became brighter, although the people were physically exhausted, their hoes and axes did not slow down at all. But at this moment, an unexpected surprise occurred - it rained again.
The rain came suddenly, and when everyone was caught off guard, they were soaked all over.
Fortunately, after the flood, the people had the foresight to carry the hats and raincoats with them and did not stop working.
Until the rain suddenly became fierce, and within a short time the winding mountain soil was completely wet.
Zhang Qingjiu, who had just pulled out a weed, frowned and looked up at the sky. Only then did he realize that a large dark cloud had gathered above his head in the originally clear sky, as black as ink, like a snake spitting out an apricot.
The sudden change also caused the people to stop what they were doing. Some people looked up. When they saw the dark clouds, someone said in fear, "Water, flood... flood is coming again!"
This exclamation instantly brought back the tragic memories of the past few days, and everyone's faces turned pale in unison.
They remembered that such a cloud appeared that day, the rain became heavier and heavier, and Yongzhou was in a mess...
"No, no, I want to go back." Someone began to drop the hoe in his hand.
"Me too."
"I want it back too!"
…
More and more people responded, Chu Lan's eyes flashed, and he took two steps closer to Zhang Qingjiu.
Looking away from the sky, Zhang Qingjiu took a deep breath and lowered his eyes, "You can't go back."
