From a young age, Long Yunyue knew she was different from others. She had a natural affinity for plants, and the plants under her care grew exceptionally well. In her palace, the plants and flowers grew freely, as if they had been blessed.
Su Qi gave her a lot of herbal seeds for her to plant.
The ground vein purple fungus and those top-grade herbs that were very picky about where they grew grew better than anything else in Long Yunyue's hands. Seeing this, Su Qi gave Long Yunyue the Qin family's valley in Yunzhou City.
That is Long Yunyue’s secret base.
Long Yunyue stays there for several months every year, planting and caring for various herbs.
Talk to the herbs, water and fertilize them.
Then, some of the best herbs were picked and prepared to be given to Long Haoyu, Long Haoxuan and others. Naturally, these herbs were also indispensable to the people in Meilin Villa, Jinyang Prefecture.
She knew some kung fu, so Dabao sent a few secret guards to protect her.
but.
Arriving at the Gu Mansion in Yunzhou City, Long Yunyue asked the secret guards to stay in the mansion. She walked through the long secret passage alone and went into the valley to plant herbs.
See the complete collection of top-grade herbs on the top-grade herbs map.
Yuebao fell into deep thought.
One thing missing is the Tianshan Snow Lotus.
She remembered that her grandfather had always wanted to take her grandmother back to Tianshan to live. However, her grandmother was naturally wary of the people of Tianshan, who would spread rumors that were detrimental to Gu Beiheng.
As a result, the War King of that year ordered his men to surround the Gu family army and sent people to hunt down Gu Beiheng.
Gu Beiheng suffered a lot.
Qin Wan is repulsed by Tianshan.
Yuebao, however, wants to go to Tianshan Mountain to pick snow lotus and also wants to grow snow lotus herself.
Yue Bao strapped raindrop pear blossom needles and small crossbow bolts to her arms, and also strapped small, repeating crossbow bolts to her calves.
The light green waist belt around the waist is filled with various life-saving or life-threatening powders.
Carry silver needles with you.
Yuebao and Xibao both know acupuncture, but they focus on different aspects.
She likes plants.
Xibao likes to make money. In addition to the golden needle technique, he also carries a golden abacus with him.
Yue Bao carried a backpack and picked two large bundles of herbs. After leaving the secret passage, he first asked the secret guard to deliver one bundle to Meilin Villa in Jinyang Prefecture, and then send the other bundle to the emperor in the capital.
The secret guards were used to it.
He quickly sent people to the capital and Jinyang Prefecture.
Only An Feng and Anye stayed with Yue Bao.
Yuebao thought about it for two days and decided to go to Tianshan.
She told her idea to An Feng and Anye and ordered them to hitch a carriage and head to Tianshan.
An Feng hesitated for a moment, but before he could speak, he saw Yue Bao's unhappy face. "An Feng, my brother said that the most important thing for a secret guard is to obey the mission."
An Feng swallowed the words in his mouth.
He clasped his hands together and said yes, then went out to prepare the things he would need for the journey. He needed a tent and a sleeping bag. Although Yuebao had a sleeping bag in her backpack, Anfeng still prepared one.
Dry food and snacks needed along the way.
Various condiments, rice, dried meat, small pots of vegetables, and a bag of broccoli seeds.
Pots and charcoal needed for the journey, various convenient clothes and jewelry.
Yuebao's maid Banxia is quite skilled in martial arts, and together with Anfeng she prepares what Yuebao needs.
The dark night rides the horse, and the dark wind drives the carriage.
Banxia and Yuebao sat in a carriage and rushed to Tianshan. In order not to worry everyone, Yuebao did not allow anyone to tell the emperor in the capital.
The princess of the Qin Dynasty, who holds a high position in society, fears her brother the emperor the most.
We slept in the open air all the way to the foot of Tianshan Mountain.
The people here are tough and stern. Everywhere they look, people look at Yue Bao and the other two with a wary attitude.
Anfeng found a teahouse.
I asked the shop owner for four bowls of noodles, two pounds of braised beef, a pot of Shaodaozi, and four roasted lamb legs.
Teahouse is originally a place for drinking tea, but at the foot of Tianshan Mountain it is also a place for drinking and eating.
A bowl of brewed dark red old tea was served.
The waiter wiped the table with the towel on his shoulder and asked casually:
"Did you, gentlemen, come to Tianshan to see the thousand-year-old snow lotus bloom?"
An Feng looked around and saw many people sitting in the teahouse eating noodles. Instead of answering the waiter, he asked, "Are they all here to pick snow lotus?"
"Isn't it? This time the snow lotus is at the top of Tianshan Mountain. It is said that many people have gone up there."
An Feng became more alert, fearing that the journey would be difficult with so many people.
He quietly handed a silver ingot to the waiter and asked about Tianshan.
The waiter told Anfeng that most people usually climb from the south. The east side is not recommended because it is more prone to avalanches.
"Sir, I think you shouldn't go there now. There are too many people waiting to be beheaded in the south. You men and women will die if you go there." The waiter couldn't help but say a few more words when he saw that An Feng and his men spoke kindly and acted generously.
"Our Tianshan is a place where no one cares."
An Feng didn't want to go over there either. He glanced at Yue Bao, and seeing that she was eating silently, he fell silent.
After eating, the few people followed the waiter's instructions and came to the foot of the mountain in the south.
After just one look, Yuebao asked Anfeng to head east.
"Miss. There's an avalanche in the east."
"These people in the south are more troublesome." Yue Bao said coldly, lowered the curtain and said nothing.
An Feng and Anye exchanged a glance, realizing that Yue Bao, despite appearing gentle, was actually very opinionated and wouldn't listen to anyone else's advice. She would only listen to the words of the retired emperor, his wife, and the emperor.
Yuebao and his three companions reached the eastern mountain path and met groups of people going up the mountain.
There aren't many people on the east side.
An Feng left the carriage and the horses at an inn.
The four of them put on their backpacks and climbed the mountain with their trekking poles, fully equipped.
The hikers looked at Yue Bao and the other three with a bit of surprise. Several of them spoke with distinct accents, and Yue Bao listened carefully and realized they might be from the other side of the glacial sea north of the Tianshan Mountains.
It is said that there is a country on the other side of the ice sea.
Dabao's merchant ship tried to cross the ice sea several times, but was lost in the sea every time and finally had to give up looking for this continent.
Those people looked like guards, so An Feng also paid attention to them.
In the evening.
Several people hid in a sheltered place halfway up the mountain.
Several people from the other side also came here, and it was clear that both sides did not want to talk.
Banxia took out a wine flask from her backpack and handed it to Yuebao, "Miss, have a drink to warm yourself up."
Yuebao took it, took two sips, and then stopped drinking, eating the jerky in small bites. She was wearing a windproof coat, a gift from Su Qi to Yuebao.
At the beginning, Su Qi said that Yuebao had an adventurous spirit.
I specially took the fabric for the windproof jacket and asked Chunhe to make a suitable windproof jacket for Yuebao.
Folds up and takes up no space.
Open to keep warm and windproof.
The food and sleeping bags Yuebao and the others were eating and using made the people on the other side feel suspicious. They just took a few glances and then leaned against the rocks to rest.
"Miss, would you like to light a charcoal fire?"
Yuebao shook her head. "It's dangerous to make a charcoal fire in the snow. It might attract wild beasts from the Tianshan Mountains." She remembered that her royal grandfather once said that the wild beasts in the Tianshan Mountains were very ferocious.
Banxia kept silent after hearing this.
midnight.
The howling of snow wolves was heard.
The air was filled with a hint of blood.
Yuebao was awakened and saw a pair of green eyes appearing in the snow not far away.
"Not good. There's a snow wolf."
Banxia held a soft sword in her hand and formed a semicircle with Anfeng and Anye.
Surround Yuebao behind.
A few men not far away were jumping on the rocks. They coldly looked at the number of wild wolves in front of them, exchanging glances and trying to lead the snow wolves to Yuebao and the others.
Yue Bao noticed the other party's thoughts and couldn't help but say:
"If we work together, there's a good chance we can kill the wild wolf. Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to escape."
