Chapter 278 Arrival at Xiguan Mountain
"Ah! Rogue!"
"The bird's butt is about to show!"
Two more hairs fell.
The little lazy boy trembled in Chu Youning's hands, and immediately became obedient: "Beauty, I was wrong, I apologize to you."
"If you do it again, I'll emptied your lard and threw it into the oil pan!"
Chu Youning said this viciously, and then picked up the painting that had just been soiled by the little glutton.
The painting swayed in the candlelight, and the bird's claws were particularly clear.
But what is more clear is the curved lines that appear on it for no apparent reason.
"This... looks a bit like a word?"
Thinking of the messy TV series he had watched, which seemed to have all kinds of inexplicable ways of displaying words, Chu Youning's eyes lit up.
"Baby, come... use your cute little paws to step on these lotus leaves. If I am satisfied, I will give you whatever you want to eat every day!"
"real?"
A drop of saliva instantly fell from the mouth of the little glutton who had just been threatened.
Typical of someone who only remembers eating but not being beaten.
"I swear on your life."
"Oh, I want Gray."
The little glutton jumped off Chu Youning's hand.
Chu Youning called Qianyu to help get some ashes from the firewood burned in the kitchen.
Soon after, the originally green lotus leaves turned gray due to the little rice bucket's manipulation.
She picked up the painting again and then spoke to her son.
"Everyone, help me scan these places with writing and transfer them to my phone."
[good.]
Tong, who had been working overtime obediently today, nodded.
A few minutes later.
Chu Youning began to magnify the words one by one and read them.
It's a bunch of densely packed place names.
These included the capital, Nanchuan and Jiangnan where she had discovered strongholds.
"So... Chu Zhaohua left me the antidote last time, and this time he left me a place name?"
Chu Youning was stunned for a moment.
"Tian... Tell me, have we misunderstood her? She is actually... a good person when it comes to major issues?"
[Host... There is too little description of this person in the original text, I don't know.]
The system sounds quiet.
Chu Youning couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
With those place names, it would be much easier for her to take action next.
She wrote down all the place names in the painting on a list, gave the little boy a box of chicken wings as a soothing treat, and then dived into the bathtub.
~~~
The next day.
After everyone looked at the list of locations provided by Chu Youning, all parties mobilized their forces.
Chu Youning and Jiang Wanrong each led a group of people and chose two routes that would eventually converge at Xiguan Mountain.
After that, everyone dispersed and started to get busy.
Along the way, in order to speed up the process, Chu Youning didn't care about crying or not.
He moved forward as light as a swallow, and wherever he went was like a passing locust.
In just a few days, several strange things were reported in the southern area.
An unfilial son who always cries and whips around, but makes people cry when he hits them. He is the nemesis of a thousand-year-old mother.
A gentle and dignified, but beautiful scorpion that is good at using poison.
A sloppy, ugly and pretty young man who starts with a bunch of beatings.
When this news was urgently delivered to the capital by Baili, Chu Youning and his companions successfully became the topic of conversation for everyone in the capital.
When Emperor Wenzong of Chu heard those descriptions, he almost fell off the dragon throne on the spot.
It took seven full days.
Seven days later.
Chu Youning wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, sat in a carriage, looked at the desolate but magnificent scenery around him, and applied an egg to his face.
"Your Highness, the Xiguanshan Gate is ahead."
Qianyu looked at the tall city wall not far away and spoke slowly.
"I see."
Chu Youning nodded and began to tidy himself up seriously.
Half an hour later, the carriage stopped at the city gate.
Chu Youning took out a token and gave it to Qianyu. After everyone was checked, the city gate was opened.
At the same time, the guards who had been instructed long ago rode quickly to the general's mansion to report the news.
Less than an incense stick's time after Chu Youning entered the city, two horses came galloping towards them at full speed.
"Hello!"
After seeing the carriage, the two horses quickly stopped with their reins tightened.
"Ning Ning!"
Jiang He dismounted first and ran over excitedly.
Jiang Yunzhou, who was wearing armor, also jumped off his horse.
The sun is strong in the west and the wind is strong.
Jiang Yunzhou looks much darker than Jiang He, and his physique is also quite sturdy and strong, with a majestic aura.
He dismounted and walked cautiously towards the carriage.
On the surface, he looked extremely calm, but deep down, his heartbeat was inexplicably speeding up.
"Ning Ning."
Chu Youning jumped out of the carriage wearing a hat.
She looked up and down at Jiang Yunzhou, whom she had never met before, and tried hard to keep her emotions stable and not tremble.
"Ning Ning has met the eldest brother and the second brother."
[Ah! This general guarding the border gives people a different feeling.]
[He is tall, handsome and manly, especially with a white peacock next to him for contrast, he gives people a sense of security. ]
“…”
Jiang He's smile faded and his hands felt a little itchy.
Jiang Yunzhou, however, looked Chu Youning up and down, his eyes couldn't stop reddening.
He looked at the figure that had grown a lot taller than in his memory, walked over and hugged the person tightly in his arms.
The price of feeling safe is...
Chu Youning pressed his face against the hard armor and began to struggle wildly.
"Ahem... Big... Big Brother, please be gentle, I can't breathe!!!"
