"Good boy."

Xiaoguo touched Zhuangzhuang's head and was glad that he didn't ask any more questions. Xiaoguo had no reason to fool him anymore.

"Get your clothes and let's go out."

Xiaoguo walked out with Zhuangzhuang. The outside was different from when they just came.

When I just came here, it was probably still early and not too many people were there. The Xiaoguo and Zhuangzhuang teas had been soaked for quite some time, and now that they are out it seems like they are reaching their peak.

The men and women outside were almost crowded, and each one was choosing the hot spring pool they wanted to soak in. The few women who were leisurely playing with each other at first, now wanted their feet to fly and wanted to use their hands as if they were two pairs.

Xiao Guo held her strong hands tightly, avoided the crowd and came to the front desk, where she happened to meet the woman who had just given her a massage.

As soon as the woman saw her, she knew why she was there and quickly gave her a bottle of essential oil.

Xiaoguo took it, opened the lid and smelled it, and only handed the money over after confirming that there was no problem.

After packing the small cans, the two of them went out, avoiding the crowd.

Xiaoguo estimated that it was just after 11 p.m. It should have been dark outside, but now it was brighter than at noon.

This also explains why the people here are no different at night than during the day, they are just as active. At this time, people in other places would have already woken up, so they would not be as energetic as the people here.

That being said, can people's spirit and body really bear it? Won't they become disordered?

Xiaoguo looked at the still bustling streets and was somewhat curious about the people here. They were in really good shape.

"Yawn~"

Zhuangzhuang yawned, holding the lotus lantern in one hand and Xiaoguo in the other, so he didn't have any extra hands to wipe his tears.

Xiaoguo put the bag on her back, took the lotus lantern from Zhuangzhuang's hand, and then lifted Zhuangzhuang up with all her strength.

As soon as Zhuangzhuang got into Xiaoguo's arms, he immediately found a good position and fell asleep.

They soon returned to the inn. People were still busy. Xiao Guo said hello to the officer on night watch and went back into the house.

The next morning, Xiaoguo brought breakfast into the room, but Zhuangzhuang was not awake yet.

Xiaoguo knew that if he called him, he would definitely make trouble for her, so it would be better to solve the problem directly with force.

Xiaoguo picked up Zhuangzhuang, put clothes on him and combed his hair.

Then she quickly rinsed his mouth and washed his face in one go.

When Zhuangzhuang was eating the pickles Xiaoguo gave him, he was still confused. He didn't know how he could have eaten when he was still sleeping just now.

Xiaoguo got on the carriage on time and started his journey home again.

The streets were still bustling with people at this time. These people seemed to be tireless and were eating, drinking and having fun every day, as if they didn't sleep at all.

Just as Xiao Guo was about to lower the curtain, he was attracted by a figure.

A ten-meter-high Buddha statue stood halfway up the mountain, and was now looking in his direction. Xiao Guo was a little surprised. The carriage was moving all the time, but no matter where it went, he could feel that it seemed as if it was looking at him.

Xiaoguo felt a little regretful. He really wanted to visit the temple. The temple here was so famous, but he couldn't go and pay his respects. It was such a pity.

Although Xiaoguo doesn't believe in gods, she feels like there are really spiritual things here.

At this moment, Xiaoguo secretly set a small goal in his heart. When he has the chance in the future, he must take Zhuangzhuang to travel around the country and have a good time.

Shortly after leaving the city gate, the carriage suddenly stopped. Xiaoguo was suddenly hit by a strong force of inertia. Her first reaction was to hug Zhuangzhuang tightly.

Zhuangzhuang also hugged Xiaoguo tightly at the first moment, and only after the surroundings became quiet did Xiaoguo lift the curtain and look outside.

To be honest, Xiaoguo's first reaction was that he had encountered a bandit.

But looking at the quiet environment outside, Xiaoguo felt that something was not right. There should be sounds of fighting at least.

Xiaoguo put down the curtain on one side and opened the curtain on the other side.

Before my hand even touched the curtain, it was thrown open with great force.

Xiaoguo was startled and subconsciously stopped Zhuangzhuang.

Jiang Shanhe, who was outside the carriage, looked at the scene in front of him, feeling a little dazed. At this moment, the smile on his face was stiff.

I really didn't expect that I would scare them and their child.

"Xiaoguo? Xiaoguo? Zhuangzhuang?"

Jiang Shanhe looked at Xiaoguo who had her eyes closed and spoke innocently.

Xiaoguo thought it was an auditory hallucination. How could there be Jiang Danhe's voice?

Xiaoguo opened her eyes carefully, only to see an enlarged version of a handsome face.

"Jiang Shanhe!"

Xiaoguo was a little excited. Why was he here? !

Zhuangzhuang also heard Jiang Shanhe's name, so he immediately came out from behind Xiaoguo and said in surprise, "Dad!"

"What brings you here?"

Jiang Shanhe got off the horse and came to the carriage excitedly. Xiaoguo made way for Jiang Shanhe to sit down.

"I have something to do and it's on my way, so I'm going with you."

Jiang Shanhe hugged Zhuangzhuang and then spoke to Xiaoguo.

Xiaoguo and Zhuangzhuang were very happy. Zhuangzhuang hugged Jiang Shanhe and asked uncertainly, "Really?"

"Of course it's true. I'm going to Fengcheng, so it's on my way."

Fengcheng? Why does it sound so familiar?

When Xiaoguo heard Jiang Shanhe say this, she felt a little strange.

When Zhuangzhuang heard this, he reacted hugely, "Really?! That's great!"

Zhuangzhuang happily threw himself on Jiang Shanhe and rubbed against him back and forth.

Jiang Danhe was attracted by Zhuangzhuang's adorable appearance, so he also joined in the fun with a smile.

Jiang Shanhe's horse was taken away by his men. Zhuangzhuang had had enough fun at this time, so he lay on Jiang Shanhe's body to rest.

Only then did he free up some time to talk to Xiaoguo.

"You mean going to Fengcheng?"

“Yes.”

Jiang Shanhe nodded and said.

Xiaoguo was deep in thought. She just thought of Fengcheng. She had seen it somewhere before. Isn't Fengcheng a strange town that she encountered on the way to the capital? There were many people waiting at the door. Is it a strange place where women would come out at night?

"I passed by Fengcheng on my way to the capital..."

Xiaoguo told Jiang Shanhe what he found strange. After listening to it, Jiang Shanhe's eyes were gloomy and unclear. There was indeed something wrong there.

"To be honest with you, I am here to deal with this matter."

After hearing this, Xiaoguo found it a little strange that a general like him would run errands.

"The Emperor sent me to Fengcheng to handle some matters so that we can spend more time together. I can also accompany you along the way."

Jiang Shanhe was afraid that Xiaoguo would think he was an idle person after he finished speaking. After all, he was a general, so how could he get involved in such a small matter? So he immediately added another sentence.

When he said this, Xiaoguo understood that this was the case...

"Then why don't you come with us?"

Xiaoguo was a little surprised that he caught up with her halfway.

"It's all because of Li Shouji." Jiang Shanhe was a little speechless when he said this. "Li Shouji is too unreliable. The emperor told him the day before yesterday, but Li Shouji forgot about it. He only remembered to tell me after you left yesterday."

Xiaoguo smiled secretly, he must be hurrying over to catch up with them.

Along the way, Jiang Shanhe was stretching his legs and raising his feet intentionally or unintentionally, trying to attract Xiaoguo's attention.

But Xiaoguo really didn't notice it at first, but later she realized that he seemed to want her to discover something, so she paid special attention to it.
