Chapter 104 Travel Together
The prayer board with red ribbon flew high and almost hung on the top of the tree.
"Your Highness is so powerful." Jiang Shu looked at him with wide eyes and envy.
Unfortunately, the prayer board is meaningful only if you hang it yourself.
Seeing that she has been staring at the prayer board on the top of the tree, Yu Zheng gently comforted her: "Don't worry about the height, just be sincere."
Hearing this, Jiang Shu blushed.
Forget it, she can't throw it as high as Yu Zheng anyway, just let it go.
Jiang Shu took a deep breath, raised her arm and threw it hard under Yu Zheng's gaze, and the prayer board was hung steadily on the waist of the tree.
"It's already very high." Yu Zheng praised.
As an ordinary woman who doesn't know martial arts, this height is indeed not low.
The matter was settled, Jiang Shu no longer hesitated, and smiled with relief: "Your Majesty is busy with official duties, how can you have time to come here?"
"The river bank has been inspected and is being supervised by the Minister of Works. I heard that the incense here is effective, so I came to pray for my family and to check the people's sentiments."
After Yu Zheng finished speaking, he turned to her and asked: "What about you, have you done your business?"
"Half of it is done, and it will take a few more days."
The two of them were like familiar old friends, asking each other about their recent situation and chatting freely.
"Boss, boss?" Tan Yu's anxious voice sounded from the opposite side.
Jiang Shu hurriedly responded: "I'm here."
Tan Yu came around, and was relieved when she saw Jiang Shu, but her tone rose again when she saw Yu Zheng.
"Prince...Prince?"
Tan Yu's reaction was exactly the same as Jiang Shu's before.
Zhu Feng sneered: "What kind of master you have, what kind of maid you have."
Yu Zheng's dark eyes swept coldly: "Go around Lingyin Temple ten times."
"Ah?" Zhu Feng looked painful, secretly annoyed at his own bad mouth.
He could just think about it in his mind, why did he have to say it out loud!
"What do you mean by ten times?" Jiang Shu was puzzled.
Yu Zheng said in a light tone: "Nothing, the abbot said there is a cold spring outside the temple, have you visited it?"
Jiang Shu shook her head: "We just came a while ago."
"The scenery on the lake is Lingyin, but the scenery is only in the cold spring. Do you want to go and enjoy it together?" Yu Zheng clenched his hands behind his back into fists, feeling a little nervous, afraid that she would refuse.
Jiang Shu thought that there was nothing important today, and it would not be a waste to come to Lingyin Temple, so he nodded happily and agreed.
She is a man now, and no one here knows them, so there is nothing wrong with playing together.
After getting a positive answer, Yu Zheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the temple to the cold spring.
Jiang Shu followed him quickly, and when Tan Yu turned around, she could no longer see Zhu Feng.
After leaving Lingyin Temple, Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu went directly to the cold spring. Zhui Yun, who was waiting outside the mountain gate, did not see Zhu Feng, so he followed and asked Tan Yu: "Where did Zhu Feng go?"
Tan Yu said: "The prince asked him to go around Lingyin Temple ten times, and then he was not seen again."
Zhui Yun understood what he said, and asked curiously: "What did he say again?"
Tan Yu tried hard to recall: "He said, 'What kind of master is what kind of maid'."
After hearing this, Zhui Yun secretly said that it was his due.
The two of them followed Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng at a distance. Tan Yu looked around and chattered with Zhuiyun.
Zhuiyun didn't talk much. Most of the time, Tan Yu talked and he listened, occasionally responding a sentence or two. His eyes were always on Yu Zheng in front of him, paying attention to the movements around him.
Zhu Feng was not there, and the guards were waiting at the mountain gate. The safety of the master fell on him alone, and he had to be vigilant at all times.
Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng walked slowly along the cold spring and walked into the mountains unknowingly.
The mountains were covered with red walls and green trees, reflecting the dark forest. The stone walls were steep, and there was a stream of cold water, which was desolate and clear. It was like a secret place on earth, a paradise.
Being here, the two of them put aside the many rules and constraints of Shangjing, and like ordinary friends, they traveled together, talked and enjoyed the scenery.
Half a day passed leisurely. When Zhufeng finished running ten laps and came back, the sun was almost at noon. Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng turned around and walked back to Lingyin Temple for lunch.
He just came and he's going back?
Zhufeng was like being struck by lightning, petrified on the spot.
When Tan Yu passed by him, she said casually: "Let's go, don't you want to eat lunch?"
"Gurgle--" Zhufeng's stomach answered first.
"Puff!" Tan Yu laughed. Zhufeng
stamped his feet in annoyance: "Don't laugh."
If it weren't for her, how could he be punished to run ten laps and why would his stomach growl with hunger.
The group returned to the temple and borrowed Yu Zheng's identity to get a quiet Zen temple and eat alone.
It was a rare day to spend with Jiang Shu, Yu Zheng was a little reluctant, so he asked the monk who delivered the lunch, what other good scenery there was besides the cold spring.
The nun told them that the Lingjiu Peak opposite the Lingyin Temple was beautiful and worth a visit. The sunshine was very good today, and they could climb to the top to watch the sunset over the West Lake when the sun was setting.
When Jiang Shu heard the word "sunset", her almond eyes lit up instantly.
Yu Zheng was delighted to see this and asked her if she wanted to climb Lingjiu Peak together after dinner.
Jiang Shu had a special liking for sunsets and nodded immediately.
So after the fasting meal, they set off for Lingjiu Peak.
Lingjiu Peak has a unique geology, which has formed many karst caves. The strange and varied stalactites in the caves opened Jiang Shu's eyes.
"Tick! Tick!" The water drops dripped along the upside-down stalactites, alternately hitting the water holes on the ground, forming a pleasant and melodious music.
"The world is so big, there are so many wonders. This is simply a heaven created by the magic of nature."
Jiang Shu's eyes widened, and he was overwhelmed by the sight.
Zhuiyun Zhufeng walked in front with torches in both hands, trying to illuminate the cave as brightly as possible for Jiang Shu
to see. The ground in the cave was slippery and uneven, and the light was dim. Jiang Shu was so fascinated that he didn't pay attention to his feet. When he walked forward, he slipped
and fell. "Be careful!" Yu Zheng hurriedly reached out to pull her, but the ground was too slippery and he slipped as well.
The two of them rolled down the slope uncontrollably.
"Boss!"
"Master!"
Tan Yu was anxious to help Jiang Shu, but she fell after taking only two steps.
"Ouch!" Tan Yu fell on her leg and screamed in pain.
Zhuiyun and Zhufeng ran over quickly with torches, but they slipped and even the torches fell out.
"What a hell of a place, it's so slippery and rugged." Zhufeng rubbed his broken buttocks and cursed.
He was unlucky, and his buttocks fell on a protruding stalactite. The pain made him almost die on the spot.
Zhuiyun was not much better, and his arm hit a sharp stone, breaking the skin and bleeding directly.
Only Jiang Shu was almost unscathed, because Yu Zheng protected her in his arms when she fell.
"Prince, are you okay? Are you hurt?" Jiang Shu sat up and asked Yu Zheng, her tone full of guilt and anxiety.
If it weren't for her, Yu Zheng wouldn't have fallen.
To prevent her from worrying and blaming herself, Yu Zheng gritted his teeth and endured the pain, and said calmly: "I'm fine."
Hearing his calm tone, as if he was not injured, Jiang Shu breathed a sigh
of relief. "Let's get out quickly, it's too dangerous in here." Jiang Shu touched his chest in fear.
This cave is beautiful, but it's a pity that it's too dangerous. No wonder few people come here.
Yu Zheng responded, touched the wall of the cave and stood up carefully.
Even though he is full of martial arts, he is no different from an ordinary person in this unstable cave, which makes him lose control and feel insecure.
Zhuiyun and Zhufeng endured the pain and relit the torch, lowering it to illuminate the road, and the group supported each other and carefully exited the cave.
