After hearing what Gu Xingnuo said, the old man snorted and said, "You are a general, how can you covet the prosperity of the world?"
"Yes," Gu Xingnuo forced a smile at the old man, "I just said that. Don't worry, grandpa. I won't be blinded by wealth and fame."
The old man was coaxed into the study by Young Master Gu. Seeing his eldest grandson who looked normal, the old man was still worried, but he had no way to ask, so he could only turn the topic back to Yu Xiaoxiao and Gu Xinglang and asked, "When will Xinglang and the princess come back tomorrow?"
Yu Xiaoxiao and Gu Xinglang, who were being asked by the old man, were snuggled in the same bed at this time. Young Master Gu was sleeping soundly, but Yu Xiaoxiao was thinking about the love tragedy she had just heard. She was sad. Her Royal Highness the Princess couldn't close her eyes and couldn't sleep, so Yu Xiaoxiao decided to write a plan.
The most abundant things in the upper study room are pens, ink, paper and inkstone. Yu Xiaoxiao removed the soft tip of the brush and cut a pen that can be dipped in ink to write according to the shape of the fountain pen. Looking at the white paper in front of him and thinking for a while, Yu Xiaoxiao picked up the pen and wrote a big title, On how to destroy the Eternal Life Temple.
Spreading the map on the ground, Yu Xiaoxiao looked at the ancient map and carefully studied the route from the capital to the Eternal Life Temple. She found that Fengtian was the country closest to the Eternal Life Temple.
"It's quite close," Yu Xiaoxiao muttered, turning around and starting to write an action plan. Since she was unfamiliar with this world, Yu Xiaoxiao planned every step from Fengtian Capital to the Eternal Life Temple in detail, even planning where to go to replenish equipment along the way.
When Gu Xinglang woke up, the first thing he saw was not the sunshine outside the window, but his wife sitting at the table writing furiously. This was the first time Gu Xinglang saw Yu Xiaoxiao writing. Young Master Gu looked at her for a long time before whispering, "Xiaoxiao?"
Yu Xiaoxiao turned her head and looked at the bed, her face expressionless, but she greeted Gu Xinglang in a cheerful tone, "Good morning, Xiao Gu."
Gu Xinglang propped himself up and half-sat on the bed. He reached out to tuck the corner of the quilt for Yu Ziyi, then asked Yu Xiaoxiao, "What are you writing?"
Yu Xiaoxiao did not hide anything and took the plan that she had spent half the night writing to Gu Xinglang.
When Gu Xinglang saw the plan, he was immediately dumbfounded and subconsciously asked, "What, what did you write here?"
Xiao Wei called out softly from outside the door at this time: "Princess?"
"Come in," Yu Xiaoxiao responded to Xiao Wei.
Xiao Wei came in with a tray of breakfast. Seeing Gu Xinglang holding a piece of paper covered with words, he smiled and asked, "Is the Prince Consort reading a letter?"
"I wrote," Yu Xiao, "On how to destroy the Temple of Eternal Life."
Xiao Wei hurriedly put the tray on the table and went to the bed to read what his princess had written. Destroy the Temple of Eternal Life? Xiao Wei sincerely felt that his princess's bravery had reached a new level.
Yu Xiaoxiao ran to the table, picked up the meat bun with thin skin and plenty of meat, and took a bite. The gravy flowed into her mouth. Her Royal Highness the Princess squinted her eyes in enjoyment. Although there is the bad apple of the Eternal Life Temple in this world, as long as there are these foods, this world is as beautiful as heaven.
Xiao Wei and Gu Xinglang were both dumbfounded at this moment. He also learned calligraphy, but he didn't recognize most of what his princess wrote.
Yu Xiaoxiao learned to write from her instructor. Her handwriting was beautiful, connected, fluent, and smooth, and it was pleasing to the eye. However, neither Gu Xinglang nor Xiao Wei had ever seen this kind of simplified Chinese characters, nor did they know what the small symbols of various shapes between the lines meant. More importantly, neither Gu Xinglang nor Xiao Wei understood why the daughter-in-law (princess) wrote horizontally?
"Uh," Xiao Wei looked back at his own princess who was chewing a meat bun with gusto, and whispered to Gu Xinglang, "Is this the royal family's writing habit?"
Gu Xinglang opened his mouth and organized his words before saying to Xiao Wei, "The imperial edict was also written like this." Young Master Gu reached out and made a vertical stroke on the paper.
Xiao Wei's mouth twitched. Yes, the imperial edicts were all written vertically. Why was his princess so different? "These words, these words look very beautiful." Although he couldn't understand them, Xiao Wei still praised his princess.
Yu Xiaoxiao then asked Gu Xinglang and Xiao Wei: "Have you finished reading it? Do you have anything to add?"
"You," Gu Xinglang said, "What style do you write in?"
Yu Xiaoxiao stopped putting the meat bun into her mouth. Body? Writing a word requires body?
Xiao Wei said, "Princess, your handwriting is so beautiful."
Yu Xiaoxiao walked to the bed and stretched her head to look at the words she had written. Her Royal Highness Princess suddenly remembered that the humans in this world would not be able to understand her handwriting.
Gu Xinglang said: "Yes, the handwriting is very beautiful."
"I think so," Yu Xiaoxiao took the plan in her hand and said, "Because the Eternal Life Temple is a very serious matter, I think the confidentiality must be done well. If Mo Wen knew that we were planning how to kill him, he might come and kill us first. So, well, I created a kind of writing."
…
Gu Xinglang looked at the ceiling of the white gauze tent, Xiao Wei looked at the ground. No normal person would do such a thing as creating a new language just to destroy the Eternal Life Temple.
"Then what is this?" Xiao Wei pointed at a comma and asked Yu Xiaoxiao.
"Oh, it's a comma, a punctuation mark," said Yu Xiao.
Xiao Wei stared at the comma and blinked, then said, "Did the princess create this herself?"
Yu Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, but still nodded shamelessly. In fact, she didn't know who invented punctuation marks. Anyway, when she was born, everyone knew this thing.
Okay, Xiao Wei looked at his feet again and pretended that he didn’t ask anything.
"I have planned our route from the capital to the Temple of Eternal Life," Yu Xiaoxiao pointed to the route map she drew and showed it to Gu Xinglang.
Maps have something in common no matter which world they are in, so even though Gu Xinglang didn't like the route map drawn by Yu Xiaoxiao, he could understand it.
Yu Xiaoxiao asked Gu Xinglang: "Do you think it's okay for us to go this way?"
Gu Xinglang had traveled back and forth between the capital and Wangxiang Pass many times, but he had never taken this route designed by his wife. It was far from the official road, but not far from the human habitation. It was a good route for secret marches. "This," Gu Xinglang said, "may be a little difficult for the troops to walk."
"Soldiers?" Yu Xiao: "We don't need to bring soldiers. A small action team of ten or so people will be enough."
Xiao Wei said cautiously: "Princess, do you want to kill your way to the Eternal Life Temple?"
Yu Xiao: "Yes."
Xiao Wei said, "Just a dozen people?"
"Yes," Yu Xiaoxiao nodded. She said there were more than ten people, but it was to take into account the self-esteem of the human beings in this world. Her Royal Highness the Princess thought that she alone was enough.
