Chapter 477 Black Forest Mountain
Looking at Shen Yueyao's clear and trusting eyes, Su Xueyi's eyes were filled with tenderness and doting.
Su Xueyi said, "Change into night clothes first."
The colors of the clothes they wear now are too obvious and it is not easy to hide their body shapes.
Shen Yueyao nodded and said, "Okay."
Shen Yueyao naturally has a nightgown.
Both of them went back to the house and changed into night clothes.
Shen Yueyao looked at herself in black, turned around, and said with a smile: “I haven’t dressed like this for a long time.”
Su Xueyi seemed to have thought of something, and a shimmering light flashed across her eyes.
"It's been a long time since I last wore this."
This reminded them of some things that happened in Liuhe Village.
At that time, the two of them went to Nanlin Village together to seek justice for Ruoqing.
With tender affection in Su Xueyi's eyes, he stepped forward to help Shen Yueyao tie up her hair.
Su Xueyi's movements were very gentle, as if she was treating a treasure.
He even took good care of Shen Yueyao's hair.
Shen Yueyao couldn't help but think of the time when she was in Liuhe Village. Actually, she didn't know how to do her hair at the beginning, and later it was Su Xueyi who helped her to tidy her hair.
Sometimes I would also help her comb her hair.
Thinking of every little thing the two of them had done together, Shen Yueyao felt warm, and her eyes and eyebrows were shining brightly.
When you look at someone with a smile, it's like sunshine.
Su Xueyi gently and carefully tied Shen Yueyao's hair, "Okay."
When Shen Yueyao turned to look at Su Xueyi, her mind moved and her heart almost beat a few times.
She found that Su Xueyi looked so beautiful in her nightgown, with a mysterious and luxurious feeling.
In the night, he was dressed in black, which made him look even more otherworldly. When the wind blew gently, he seemed to be about to fly away.
Shen Yueyao's heart was beating violently.
Su Xueyi lowered her head to meet her gaze and asked softly, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with your clothes?"
"No."
She just thought that her Mr. Su was so handsome that she wanted to hide him.
Realizing this thought in her mind, Shen Yueyao couldn't help but laugh.
Even if he does nothing, his cool aura can easily captivate people.
After everything was packed, Su Xueyi took Shen Yueyao out.
The two men did not take a carriage.
It was already very late and there were guards patrolling the streets.
Su Xueyi and Shen Yueyao used their Qinggong skills to easily avoid the patrolling guards.
Shen Yueyao did not use her mental strength or spiritual power. She just hugged Su Xueyi's waist and felt the wind whistling past her ears, which gave her an indescribable sense of novelty.
Besides, it was very hot at night in the summer, but when Su Xueyi took her through using her light skills, she created a breeze in the air.
When the wind blows, people feel refreshed and cool.
Shen Yueyao leaned in Su Xueyi's arms, listening to his heartbeat and smelling his pleasant scent, and couldn't help but laugh silently.
She now feels more at home in this world.
Su Xueyi even more carefully embraced Shen Yueyao.
The two men passed through the city wall like a breeze, and no guards on the wall noticed them.
I just felt like a gust of wind blowing and a dark shadow flashed by, and then I didn't notice anything.
"There was a strange gust of wind just now."
"It's normal for a cool breeze to suddenly blow in the summer evening. Don't be suspicious."
"It just felt like a dark shadow flashed by."
"Is there anyone there? How come I didn't notice it?"
"The city wall is so high, who can fly to it in one go?"
Everyone believes that no one can do it.
They naturally didn't know how good Su Xueyi's Qinggong was.
He didn't even know that Shen Yueyao could easily jump over the city wall herself.
When Shen Yueyao was originally sending Princess Anping's daughters Bai Shiyin and Yue Shu out of the city, she had thought that if she could not leave the city according to her plan, she would use her spiritual energy to take Bai Shiyin and Yue Shu out of the city.
Fortunately, there is no problem.
After leaving the city, Su Xueyi took Shen Yueyao for a walk, looked at her and said, "Are you tired? I'll carry you!"
As she spoke, Su Xueyi was about to squat down and carry Shen Yueyao on her back.
Shen Yueyao quickly shook her head and said, "I'm not tired. I didn't walk for long."
Shen Yueyao gently pulled Su Xueyi up and said, "You get up first. I haven't been away for long, so there's no need to be so squeamish."
Besides, she is very smart and doesn't feel tired at all.
"But where are you taking me?"
"Take you to the mountain."
Shen Yueyao was surprised for a moment, "Go to the mountain?"
At this moment, she really didn't know why Su Xueyi took her to the mountain.
Su Xueyi tidied up her hair that was messed up by the wind and said, "Well, you'll know when you get to the mountain."
In this way, Su Xueyi took Shen Yueyao to the Black Forest Mountain outside the city.
Shen Yueyao said: "This is my first time to Black Forest Mountain. I heard from people in the capital that this mountain is full of miasma and wild beasts, so people from nearby rarely come here, and there are no villages at the foot of the mountain."
"I also heard a rumor that most people get dizzy after entering and can't get out."
"For a long time, no one came to Black Forest Mountain."
Yes, the Black Forest Mountain area is remote and there are no villages or people living around it.
The surrounding land was also barren, and no one came to buy the farm or grow anything there.
Su Xueyi said, "Because there are formations set up around here, ordinary people can't get in at all, and they can't find the entrance."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yueyao was surprised.
"Formation, is there any formation around here?"
"Um."
Chen Yueyao asked curiously, "Who set up this formation?"
Su Xueyi concentrated and said, "It was arranged by my master."
Shen Yueyao was shocked, "Your master?"
He had never heard that Su Xueyi had a master.
"Could it be that your kung fu was taught by your master, and not by your grandfather or your father?"
No wonder Su Xueyi's Qinggong skills that she witnessed tonight were so good.
Su Xueyi said, "When I was a child, I accidentally saved an old man. The old man took me in as his disciple and taught me martial arts. He also taught me the Qinggong technique."
Speaking of her master, Su Xueyi also sighed.
"Your master must be a master, otherwise how could his martial arts be so powerful?"
"Your master is so skilled in martial arts, is he a Jianghu person?"
Su Xueyi shook her head and said, "I don't know much about my master's origins either."
"But my master's kung fu is really powerful, and he doesn't allow me to reveal his existence."
Shen Yueyao looked at Su Xueyi's expression and asked, "If that's the case, when the Su family was exiled, was your kung fu suppressed because of the poison?"
Su Xueyi nodded.
It was true that her kung fu was suppressed due to poisoning, otherwise Su Xueyi could have saved many people.
"Master is strict with me, but also very kind to me."
"It was just over ten years ago when Master was suddenly seriously injured. After he recovered a little, he called me over and told me that he was going to travel. He also said that he would not let me pass on any news and would not allow me to come here."
Shen Yueyao felt it was mysterious when she heard it.
Shen Yueyao blinked and said, “Then your master’s rules are very strict, and he is also so strict with you. Can you bring me here?”
Su Xueyi said, "Master also sent me a message yesterday asking me to come here, and also said that I can bring you here."
Shen Yueyao was a little surprised and full of doubts.
I always feel that Su Xueyi's master knows everything.
After hearing this, Shen Yueyao's expression became serious.
After arriving at the outskirts of Black Forest Mountain, Su Xueyi took Shen Yueyao's hand and said, "This formation is very dangerous. Don't walk around randomly. Follow my steps."
Shen Yueyao nodded, then walked in the same pace as Su Xueyi.
Walk in step by step.
After passing through the formation and entering the forest, I found a different world here.
"From the outside, you can't tell there's a hidden gem here, with clear mountain streams, flowers and bushes, birdsong, and a starry sky at night."
The environment here is very nice and looks like a secluded place.
The scenery is much better than that near Lulin Academy.
If it weren't for the formation covering it, Black Forest Mountain wouldn't be like this.
However, there is indeed miasma outside the Black Forest Mountain.
Su Xueyi said, "Well, there are also many wild beasts in the Black Forest Mountain, but this place was fenced off by Master. Medicinal herbs were planted around it, and formations were set up. Wild beasts can't get in, so this place has gradually become like this."
Su Xueyi pointed to a place not far away and said, "That's the small fenced courtyard. Master lives there. Let's go and take a look."
When Su Xueyi led Shen Yueyao inside, Shen Yueyao seemed to sense something and paused, saying, "There is the aura of a master."
Su Xueyi held Shen Yueyao’s hand and said, “That’s Master’s person, don’t worry.”
"Um."
Just like that, Su Xueyi brought Shen Yueyao to the outside of the fenced courtyard, and he was ready to knock on the fence door.
But before he could reach out his hand, an old and weak voice came from inside, saying, "Come in!"
Su Xueyi then took Shen Yueyao in.
The layout inside is simple.
An old man was sitting on a chair, watching Su Xueyi and Shen Yueyao coming, and he didn't seem surprised.
He looked at Shen Yueyao carefully.
Shen Yueyao could feel a powerful aura of oppression.
Shen Yueyao had a feeling in her heart that Master Su Xueyi was not a simple person.
Although he looked very weak, his expression was very powerful.
"Master, this is my wife. I brought her here to meet you."
As she spoke, Su Xueyi saluted, and Shen Yueyao followed suit, "Master!"
The old man nodded and said, "Well, very good."
Shen Yueyao saw the teacup next to her, poured some tea, and greeted the old man.
It's like meeting an elder.
The old man took it and drank the tea directly, which was considered as accepting his apprentice's wife.
"You two will take care of each other in the future, and Master will be relieved about you."
In fact, I am very relieved about Su Xueyi.
Shen Yueyao could feel that the old man was running out of breath.
Shen Yueyao observed the old man quietly and carefully, and suddenly discovered something. Her face suddenly changed and turned pale.
The old man was hanging on to his last breath.
Shen Yueyao couldn't help but look at Su Xueyi. If Su Xueyi knew, would she be sad?
The old man looked at the expression of his apprentice's wife and knew what she had seen.
This kid is capable.
He nodded secretly in his heart.
With her accompanying his apprentice, he didn't have to worry about anything.
After hearing these words and looking at her master's expression, Su Xueyi realized something.
His face turned pale and he said, "Master, you..."
The old man coughed and said, "Master, your time has come. You don't have to be sad."
"I called you here today to arrange some things."
The old man took out a box and said, "This is for you. Take it."
"I've also left four secret guards for you. These four secret guards are highly skilled in martial arts, and they will obey your orders from now on."
As he spoke, the old man clapped his hands, and then four men in black suddenly appeared in front of them.
The old man said weakly, "From now on, my disciple will be your master. You will obey his orders."
"yes!"
The old man told Su Xueyi some things.
Su Xueyi's eyes were red.
Although he did not follow his master for a long time, his master taught him kung fu like a father.
He really couldn't bear to see his master go like this.
The old man looked at Su Xueyi and said with satisfaction: "Live a good life with your wife in the future."
"Yes, Master."
Shen Yueyao looked at the four secret guards, who looked to be around seventeen or eighteen years old, and was slightly shocked.
So young.
And judging from her strong skills, it can be known that the master has been planning for Su Xueyi for a long time.
Shen Yueyao didn't ask any more questions.
Only Su Xueyi and I accompanied the master.
The master passed away in the evening of the next day, and Shen Yueyao and Su Xueyi handled the master's funeral together.
Shen Yueyao accompanied Su Xueyi and said, "Master certainly doesn't want you to be sad."
Su Xueyi said, "I only know that Master's last name is Wen. I don't know anything about him."
Shen Yueyao said: "Master must have his reasons for not telling you."
When Su Xueyi asked last night, Master didn't say anything.
It’s okay for the master to say that he knows nothing.
But Shen Yueyao always felt that her master was a man with a story, and the vicissitudes of life could be seen in his eyes.
After dealing with all the matters, Su Xueyi called the four secret guards.
He wanted the four secret guards to obey Shen Yueyao's orders in the future and regard Shen Yueyao as their master.
Shen Yueyao insisted not to use it.
But Su Xueyi only wanted to be good to Shen Yueyao.
"Be good and listen. I'll feel at ease if they all stay by your side to protect you."
Shen Yueyao felt that this was the secret guard arranged by the master for Su Xueyi.
Later, the two men discussed and decided that each of them would use two secret guards first.
Because there are indeed a lot of things to do when you go to Hezhou.
They were not planning to use the four men as secret guards, but as trusted subordinates.
Su Xueyi asked the four secret guards for information about their master, but they didn't know either.
One of them said, "When the master taught us, he only said that we should be loyal to the master in the future. The other masters never told us that."
They have been trained and taught by their teacher since they were two or three years old.
Su Xueyi felt a sour and painful feeling in his heart. He knew that his master had been arranging many things for him from the very beginning.
There are four of them, one is called Su Jian, one is called Su Dao, one is called Su Shan, and one is called Su Ying.
Su Ying is the leader of the four.
Fortunately, there were clothes in Shen Yueyao's space, and she changed them into a new set of clothes for each of them, no longer the black clothes they wore before.
Su Xueyi and Shen Yueyao also changed their clothes.
Su Xueyi said, "Come with us to the inner city first. I'll go register your household registration tomorrow morning."
Yes, Su Xueyi and Shen Yueyao discussed that they would not use them as secret guards, and wanted them to move from the dark to the light.
So they can do more.
Su Xueyi and Shen Yueyao felt more at ease knowing that there were four people with martial arts skills accompanying them to Hezhou.
When she returned, Shen Yueyao opened the box and saw a booklet with some poems written on it.
Shen Yueyao took a look but couldn't see anything special.
"Is this a book of poetry written by your master?"
Su Xueyi looked at the words above and said, "Yes, these are Master's words. They were written by Master."
Shen Yueyao said: "Just looking at this, you can tell that your master has great literary talent and his handwriting is also very good."
Shen Yueyao was wondering whether her master was a talented man when he was young.
However, Su Xueyi knew nothing about her master's past.
Whenever Shen Yueyao saw those poems, she would be amazed and feel that ordinary people could not write such poems.
There are so many poems.
The two people couldn't see anything, so they carefully kept it.
This is something left to them by their master, and they want to keep it.
On the way back, Shen Yueyao also went to the wine shop in the manor and took two large jars of wine.
"These two jars of wine have just been brewed. Give them to the emperor."
Shen Yueyao knew that before leaving, Su Xueyi had to go to the palace to meet the emperor.
Shen Yueyao wanted him to deliver the wine to the emperor.
Su Xueyi said, "You are really thoughtful."
"The Emperor usually gives us a lot of gifts. He thinks of us when he has good things, and when we have good things, we naturally think of the Emperor."
"Besides, the alcohol content of this wine is very low. Drinking it will not cause any harm. The Emperor will not get drunk given his alcohol tolerance."
"Besides, drinking a little wine is good for your health."
Su Xueyi nodded and said, "Okay."
In the next few days, the two of them cleaned up everything that needed to be cleaned up.
The four secret guards were also registered so that they could stand in the sun openly.
The four secret guards couldn't believe the news.
They thought they would always stay in the dark, but they didn't expect that they could live in the sun.
They looked at their master with excitement and emotion, and were more determined to be loyal to their master and mistress from the bottom of their hearts.
Shen Yueyao first arranged for them to stay in the house and then took them with her on the day of departure.
Shen Yueyao put a lot of things in the space if she wanted to take them to Hezhou so that they would be safe.
…
Su Xueyi also entered the palace with two large jars of wine.
The guards at the palace gate also knew that Lord Su was a favorite of the emperor. Everyone treated him with great respect, and no one dared to stop him.
Not to mention that they knew that Lord Su had a token bestowed by the emperor and could enter and leave the palace at any time.
There is also the Imperial Sword.
Seeing the imperial sword is like seeing the emperor, and he has the right to execute first and report later.
But when Su Xueyi passed by the door, the guards were startled by the fragrance they smelled.
After Su Xueyi entered, they whispered, "I just smelled the aroma of wine."
"Yes, yes, I smelled it too. It's very different from the aroma of the wine I usually drink. It's very unique."
"Lord Su should give the gift to the Emperor. Gifts given to the Emperor must be good things."
They still remember that Lord Su brought a cart of watermelons to the emperor.
Later they also bought some watermelon to eat, and it was indeed very delicious.
Needless to say, this wine must be delicious.
They also have time to rest, and during this time they will go out for a drink.
They naturally know what kind of wine tastes good.
"I heard that Madam Su opened a wine-making workshop."
"Yes, I heard there's a winery on the farm. This is the first time I've heard grapes can be used to make wine."
"I've never eaten grapes before, but I never thought that now in the capital, I can not only eat grapes that were only tributed by foreign countries, but also have the opportunity to drink wine."
Everyone knows that Mrs. Su brews wine and sells it in the capital.
They were all looking forward to it and were thinking about buying some wine to try.
They have all bought grapes to eat recently, they are so sweet.
There really is fruit to eat this summer.
In very hot weather, eating a watermelon will make you feel less hot and refreshing, which is very comfortable.
"Then nothing Madam Su cooks is bad."
"That's right. Dim Sum is different from other dim sum. There's also barbecue. My family's favorite is barbecue. I finally managed to reserve a table a few days ago and took my family there to eat. It was so delicious."
They still have fond memories when they think about it now.
"Yes, after eating, you can buy some fruit on the spot."
"The Qianlixiang wine we are drinking now was brewed by Madam Su. I heard it was shipped to the capital from Liuhe Village in Yunzhou."
"Isn't that where the Su family was exiled before?"
People in Beijing are now very familiar with the Su family.
I know that many things in Yunzhou were developed by the Su family.
The most crucial person is Madam Su, who was named Ruren Shen by the emperor.
They are not surprised now, because Mrs. Shen is indeed capable and knows so many things.
Everyone now admires him from the bottom of their hearts.
"Thousand Miles Fragrant is delicious. My dad, who is so picky about wine, likes to drink Thousand Miles Fragrant."
"Yes, yes, and such good wine is not expensive."
Anyway, they can afford it as guards.
"But the one I envy the most is Guard Huo. He married Miss Su in no time, caught the Emperor's eye, and was directly promoted to the Imperial Guard."
"That's right. When the eldest daughter of the Su family was criticized and caught up in rumors, Guard Huo didn't mind at all. Everyone even laughed at him at that time."
Of course, they also mocked and talked about it behind his back.
Who would have thought that later on I would find out that the eldest daughter of the Su family was deliberately framed and she was innocent.
And I heard that someone had seen the eldest daughter of the Su family and knew that she was extremely beautiful and talented.
Who would laugh at Guard Huo now? No one laughs at him. Everyone can only envy him.
Look at Guard Huo, he has become a person valued by the emperor.
"I heard that when the Su family has something good, they will send a portion to the Huo family."
"Yes, they are eating watermelons quickly. And I heard that Miss Su, no, I should say Mrs. Huo, is very good to her sister-in-law and brother-in-law."
"And I heard that Guard Huo's food, clothing and daily expenses have improved now. Mrs. Huo is good at business, and she has shares in Mrs. Shen's workshop. She can get a lot of money every month."
"You can eat as much fruit as you want, like watermelon and grapes, and you don't even need to make reservations for barbecue."
"Not to mention that Mrs. Huo is so beautiful."
Wow, everyone was amazed and envious of Guard Huo.
…
Of course, Su Xueyi didn't know what everyone was talking about at this time. He had already brought the things into the palace.
But the emperor was stunned when he saw the two jars of wine sent by Su Xueyi.
“Is this really wine?”
It was the first time that the emperor knew that grapes could really be made into wine.
Su Xueyi opened the lid of the jar, and the emperor felt intoxicated when he smelled the fragrance.
The emperor also likes to drink a little, but not too much, as he is afraid of getting drunk.
But Su Xueyi had told him before that wine is made from grapes and its alcohol content is not high.
The emperor has special drinking utensils here, and they are all very exquisite.
The emperor quickly asked someone to bring it up.
Su Xueyi poured the wine into the cup and said, "Your Majesty, wine doesn't make you drunk easily. You can drink one or two glasses on weekdays."
The emperor smiled and said, "Then I must give it a good taste."
Su Xueyi sat down and drank wine with Shen Yueyao.
Su Xueyi said, "This is my first time drinking wine too. Yao Niang prepared it right after it was brewed, and I brought it here."
The emperor was somewhat moved.
Su Su Xueyi's family always thinks of him when they have any good things.
As the emperor, he had never eaten or drunk these things.
With fruits like watermelon and grapes available all summer long, it’s not that hot.
Moreover, when I feel a little irritable after attending court, eating some fruit will make me feel much more refreshed.
The emperor smiled and said, "Come, let's drink together."
The wine was still a little cool after it was taken out. After the two of them took a sip, Su Xueyi was a little amazed.
So this is what wine tastes like, with a little bit of sweetness, and if you taste it carefully, you can also taste the flavor of grapes.
The emperor exclaimed, "What a good wine!"
“It feels really different when you drink it.”
“The color is beautiful too.”
However, while drinking, the emperor looked at Su Xueyi with an expression of reluctance.
"If possible, I want to keep you all in the capital."
Su Xueyi said, "Your Majesty, it was I who first proposed serving as an official in the local area. It is an honor for me to be able to go to Hezhou and help Your Majesty with his worries."
