It’s not a big deal for Fu Xiaoguan to go to Wu Dynasty.

But on the night he left Shangjing, many things happened that no one knew about.

Liu Yan'er on Hongxiuzhao wrote another letter and released another carrier pigeon.

This was the fifth carrier pigeon she had released, and all the messages it carried were about Fu Xiaoguan.

For example, he fought a bloody battle in the long street, and there was blood every five miles of the street that was ten miles long.

For example, he was drinking in the snow in an alley in March, but he killed more than 20 bandits.

For example, he was attacked on Lantern Festival night, and then he wrote the poem "Qingyu'an, Lantern Festival", and now he has two poems and one essay ranked first on the list of thousands of stone tablets.

etc……!

It was late at night and Hongxiu Zhao had closed the shop. There was no snow in Jinling, but there was no moon either.

Liu Yan'er stood alone at the bow, letting the cold wind blow, letting her hair flutter, letting her clothes dance. She thought to herself that he had finally gone to the Wu Dynasty, that he was about to meet His Highness, that His Highness would eventually be happy, and that she...

She danced at the bow of the boat, with no shadow to play with, so she was still in the human world, her figure lonely, and she was dancing the scene of Daiyu burying flowers.

Xue Feifei had come to the bow of the boat at some point. She plucked the strings of her zither and sang a song about burying flowers.

"You miss him too?"

"Who among the women of the world doesn't miss me? But it's just a thought, sister, don't go too deep. Let him be buried in our hearts like that flower!"

The lights in one of the Yan family's boudoirs were still on.

Yan Xiaolou sat in front of the window, with the big red marriage certificate on the desk. The joy was still on her face, and she felt that the dark night outside the window seemed to have a few more brilliant colors.

Rouyi, who was sitting next to her, was sewing a baby's dress. Her face was calm and peaceful. She thought to herself that she was just a woman selling wine, but she didn't expect that the man she met was the eldest prince!

Now he has gone to war and entrusted himself to Fu Xiaoguan, living in this Yan Mansion. I think the girl Xiaolou and Fu Xiaoguan are also deeply in love.

And somewhere on the city wall of the Shangjing Imperial City, Hongzhuang stood with a sword on her back, gazing into the distance.

Most of the lights in the homes of Jinling City residents have been turned off, only the dim street lights are still on.

Su Mo!

Where on earth have you been!

…

Where did Su Mo run off to?

The snowy night is cold and the only sound between heaven and earth is the rustling of falling snow in the wind.

After a day of travel, everyone had fallen asleep, except Fu Xiaoguan and Su Mo.

At this moment they were not in the room, but in this dark and boundless wilderness.

"I just don't understand. There's no way to enjoy the snow at night, so why are you running here?" Su Mo handed the wine-soaked naan to Fu Xiaoguan and asked in confusion.

Fu Xiaoguan took the wine naan and took a sip, Xishan Tianchun!

“I just want to take a walk.”

"Aren't you tired?"

"I'm not tired at all, but you, are you tired?"

"I'm not tired at all—there's indeed a small fishing village at the foot of Junshan Mountain in Dongting Lake, Yuezhou, and there's indeed a one-armed old woman with a five or six-year-old girl. I killed the old woman as you suggested, but it was a bit difficult. She hit me twice with her sword—she used the sword technique of Jianlin."

Fu Xiaoguan didn't say anything. He turned around and looked at Su Mo in the night.

Su Mo paused and continued, "The little girl's surname is Yu, like the fish swimming in the water. Her name is Yixi. Yu Yixi, a nice name, and a very pretty girl. Of course, no one knew about it when I killed the one-armed old woman. But the old woman asked me something very strange before she died."

"What did she ask?"

"She asked... whether I belonged to Concubine Shang or Concubine An."

Fu Xiaoguan frowned. Concubine An was the mother of the Fourth Prince. So, it could be concluded that the little girl was the daughter of the Fourth Prince and Nan Batian.

Thinking about the name again, Yu Yixi, of course it cannot be the surname Yu. Yixi means recalling the past.

Nan Batian probably knew that she couldn't marry the Fourth Prince due to her status, so she hoped that the Fourth Prince would remember the past through her daughter's name.

And Concubine An wanted to kill the little girl in order to erase the Fourth Prince's romantic past.

As for Concubine Shang... Fu Xiaoguan didn't even think about it, because the living Yu Yixi was more valuable than the dead Yu Yixi.

"Did anyone approach the little girl from behind?"

"That's why I came home late. On the 28th day of the first lunar month, an old nun came and took Yu Yixi away. I had a fight with the old nun, but I couldn't beat her, and I couldn't catch up with her."

Fu Xiaoguan was shocked. Old nun?

On the night of the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Fei An dragged the coffin from Shuiyue Temple back to his Xianyun Villa.

Fei An said that the old nun was practicing the turtle breathing technique and was not dead, but ran away.

According to the old nun's skills, she could definitely reach Junshan Mountain in Dongting within fourteen days.

She is an important figure in the Moon Worship Sect and also an important figure in Yuhuatai. I think she knows Yu Yixi's true identity. So where will she go with Yu Yixi?

It is impossible to wander around the world, so there is only one place - Xirong!

Xirong is the base of the Moon Worship Cult. Princess Jing'an of the previous dynasty has been running it for many years. Only there is safety.

In the territory of Dayu, Xirong was located in the west and was the capital of the Western Wilderness, but was under the control of the chieftain.

According to the intelligence from Xiyu Tower, the environment in the Western Wilderness is extremely harsh, with numerous mountains and widespread miasma, making it extremely difficult to survive. Therefore, the State of Yu did not station troops in the Western Wilderness, which also created space for the survival of the Moon Worship Cult.

Why did she bring Yu Yixi to the Western Wilderness?

Fu Xiaoguan was puzzled.

Su Mo was silent for a long time after seeing Fu Xiaoguan's silence. Then he said, "After returning to Jinling from Junshan, I burned down Shuiyue Temple. Then, knowing that you had already left, I rushed over... What was the meaning of burning Shuiyue Temple?"

Fu Xiaoguan laughed.

"I didn't mean anything else. I just thought that the temple was too ugly, so I might as well burn it down and build something new."

"Speak human language!"

"Well, the old nun you met is most likely the abbess of Shuiyue Temple. Her Buddhist name is Master Bunian, and her real name is Chen Xiyun!"

Su Mo opened his mouth in astonishment, and two snowflakes floated into his mouth. "So... I'm too late?"

"Not really. The nunnery is of no use anyway. Let's just burn it down. Just treat it as a fireworks display. How powerful is that old nun?"

Su Mo thought about it, "At least Third Senior Sister has to take action to have a 50% chance of keeping her."

He is a top-notch master. No wonder Fei An said he couldn't beat him that night.

"Have you recovered from your injury?"

Su Mo's eyes suddenly became resentful. He glared at Fu Xiaoguan and thought to himself, I went through life and death for you, and now you remember to ask me something.

Before he could complain, he heard Fu Xiaoguan say with a smile, "Hongzhuang, do you still remember that girl? The one from Jianlin, who once went to Xishan with Wenyun."

"I remember, what's wrong?"

Fu Xiaoguan turned and walked towards the post station, saying, "She said...she missed you."

Su Mo suddenly stood in the snow and felt terrible!
