October.
It is still hot in the south.
The merchant ship was flying the flag of Babao Trading Company.
The lake water is as green as a gem, and you can even see fish swimming around.
A young man stood at the bow of the ship.
Standing with hands behind his back, gazing into the distance.
He is quite handsome, and his every move exudes nobility.
Ning Que looked around and saw green mountains surrounding him everywhere.
Looking at such beautiful scenery, I feel quite emotional.
This country is so beautiful.
It is so beautiful that it makes people linger.
"Where is this place?"
"Is Po Lu asleep?"
"Um."
Shen Qinghe walked forward, stretched, and said, "I feel that taking care of children is really tiring, even more tiring than practicing martial arts back then."
"Haha, now I am indeed a bit naughty."
"Just like you..."
Shen Qinghe rolled his eyes helplessly.
Breathing fresh air.
“It’s really beautiful here.”
"I suddenly feel that leaving Chang'an is really wise."
"If I remember correctly, this should be Dongting Lake. Dongting's landscape is breathtakingly beautiful, and it's quite famous even in Kyushu. This area is rich in resources, and it passes through several counties. Look in the distance, there are many fishermen who make a living by fishing here, and they live quite well. I heard that the fish and shrimp in Dongting Lake are quite delicious. I can have someone prepare some for us to try later."
"You're really greedy. You eat wherever you go."
"Haha, food is the most important thing for people!"
Ning Que smiled and hugged Shen Qinghe, saying, "Just like you said, after letting go of all this, I feel so relieved. I don't have to worry about any intrigue anymore, and I can enjoy the beautiful scenery and local customs of various places."
"Haven't you been here before?"
"Of course..." Ning Que said helplessly, "The area south of Dafeng was basically Chu's territory. I was young back then, so I spent my life in Chang'an. Later, my father, disliked me and sent me to Kunlun. After leaving Kunlun, I've been in Chang'an ever since. Although we fought many battles afterwards, they were mostly in the north."
“I feel like the South is actually pretty good.”
Shen Qinghe nodded slightly.
Also looking into the distance.
"How long is it to Lingnan now?"
"It'll be soon."
Lingnan is actually a very general concept.
In Dafeng's view, Lingnan is across the Five Ridges.
The land is ten thousand miles long from east to west.
These years, they have been away from the conflicts in Kyushu and are very primitive.
They are now taking a merchant ship heading south.
After crossing Dongting Lake, you will soon reach the Kingdom of Nanyue.
The people they arranged are all there now.
Including the senior brothers who arrived early.
"I don't know how father is doing now." Shen Qinghe sighed softly, "I originally wanted to let him fake his death, but I was worried that something might happen to the Shenji Pavilion. After he went to Chang'an City, there was no guarantee that he would not be troubled by the Emperor."
"That's for sure."
Ning Que sighed.
He is also worried now.
Emperor Feng is now completely mad.
Even Shou Bo was not spared.
Bu Suanzi's identity was clear: the Master of the Divine Machine Pavilion. The Emperor could find any number of reasons to keep him in Chang'an. If all else failed, he could also find a reason to station troops at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. He could say that Shen Qinghe was assassinated, and so he needed to be protected.
In this way, Bu Suanzi became a hostage.
Emperor Feng might not have guessed that he had faked his death to escape.
But why not buy insurance?
The key is to use this to control the Shenji Pavilion.
When he was there, Emperor Feng was reluctant to openly attack the Shenji Pavilion for his sake. But now that he has faked his death, Emperor Feng has nothing to worry about.
"Will father be okay?"
"Definitely not in the short term." Ning Que was quite confident. "Also, you should have more trust in Master. Although Master has been in Kunlun Mountain these years and has not interacted with many people, he was once a powerful figure in the Gou Kingdom. He knows how to deal with these conspiracies and tricks."
Ning Que said this to comfort Shen Qinghe.
If anyone is to blame, it is only because Emperor Feng was too cruel.
He was forced to choose the method of faking his death.
He is now free and at ease.
But Shenji Pavilion was implicated because of this.
How to deal with it depends on the fortune teller.
Fortunately, the status of Shenji Pavilion is here.
Emperor Feng will definitely not fall out with him in the short term.
After all, there are quite a few disciples in the Shenji Pavilion.
Emperor Feng also didn't want to be cursed.
Putting aside other things, what should be done with the Six Arts Academy?
Although Yu Ji did not come from the Shenji Pavilion, he regarded Bu Suanzi as his mentor. Many of the books they used to teach their disciples actually came from the Shenji Pavilion.
"Many, many people... have sacrificed their lives because of us." Ning Que sighed and waved his hand, "Knowing they would sacrifice themselves for me, they rushed forward one after another. When the news of their deaths spread back to Jingyang, what would their families do? They were clearly still alive, but they faked their own deaths and came to Lingnan because of me."
When Ning Que was in Goguryeo, he asked Bai Yu to select suitable personal guards. When reporting casualties, he deliberately exaggerated the numbers to make these personal guards fake their deaths. Then, he boarded a warship and headed for Lingnan.
Although their deaths were faked, after completing the Daebong process, they were truly killed in battle. To maintain secrecy, even their families were unaware. In their families' eyes, they had simply died fighting in Goguryeo... How could they possibly bear the pain of losing their loved ones?
"There's nothing we can do about it."
"I can only try my best to make it up to them."
Shen Qinghe snuggled into Ning Que's chest.
The three of them were reunited.
