"Let's go now," Bei Mingxuan said. "The Empress Dowager's birthday is in a few days. We can't go back on the same day. Besides, the crown princes of the other countries will arrive a few days in advance."
"Okay." Chang'an agreed.
At this time, they immediately left Lingquan Temple, one man and one horse heading west.
At the same time, arrangements have been made to send Changle and Kaixin directly back to Prince Xuan's palace.
Bei Mingxuan and Chang'an rode fast all night until dawn.
Their horses slowed down.
"Are we about to arrive?"
"Let's go meet someone first." Bei Mingxuan glanced at Chang'an, "Guess who it is."
Changan smiled and glanced at Bei Mingxuan, "Do I know him?"
Bei Mingxuan thought about it, he was not sure, "I don't know."
"?" Chang'an pondered, "It should be... a staff member under Gu Qingyun's army."
Bei Mingxuan glanced at Chang'an with satisfaction. He knew she was smart. "I guess he's been waiting for us."
This person is the leader of the Fire Gate of the Fu Sheng Sect.
Chang'an thought about it and frowned involuntarily. At this moment, she was very worried about what Bei Mingxuan would think after knowing her identity or the identities of these flames, and whether he would no longer trust her.
A rift arose between them.
"Are you worried about something?" Bei Mingxuan and Chang'an were not walking fast.
Bei Mingxuan could clearly see the hesitation in Chang'an's eyes.
"There are...some things I want to say to you, but I don't know how to say it or where to start."
He smiled, slowly raised the corners of his lips, and tenderness appeared in his eyes.
Such a smile made her feel at ease. "It's okay. Think it over before you speak... or... just say whatever you want to say. Even if it's irrelevant and doesn't make sense, as long as it comes from you, I believe it. It's all good."
"...Yeah." Chang'an listened, and his heart suddenly warmed up. "Are you saying sweet words to me?"
"Hahaha." Bei Mingxuan laughed heartily, and with a scoop of his hands, he pulled Chang'an from the other horse and put him on his own horse, "I'm more accustomed to biting your earlobe and saying sweet words, Princess..."
An instant of numbness spread throughout the body.
Chang'an was annoyed. Why couldn't he resist the temptation? When he said that, his head felt dizzy.
A cool breeze blew, and Chang'an shivered, and his mind became much clearer.
"Don't be in heat!" She glanced at the person who buried his head in her hair with a coquettish look.
“…in heat…” Bei Mingxuan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
He could swear that it was definitely not lust, but rather an inability to control his emotions...
He pulled the reins hard and the horse started running immediately.
When they saw the flames, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.
"Shan Yan, greetings to Prince Xuan, Master Chang'an." His words were very clear.
Bei Mingxuan didn't care. In his heart, this was normal. After all, this person was Gu Qingfeng's man. "It's okay to be polite. I hope your ability won't bring shame to Mr. Qingfeng's reputation."
"..." Shan Yan's eyes twitched, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, this is natural."
"Let's go." Bei Mingxuan held Chang'an's hand.
Two horses and a thin man followed behind.
Chang'an looked at the mountain road ahead, frowning, with some guesses in his mind, and subconsciously slowed down his pace.
"We'll be there soon." Bei Mingxuan held Chang'an's hand, exerting a little force, "Are you tired?"
"No." Changan explained, "I'm just wondering, there's so much fog on the mountain road ahead, will we lose our way?
"Don't worry, I'm here." Bei Mingxuan said.
He glanced at Shan Yan behind him and said, "Mr. Shan, let me see your abilities."
Shan Yan naturally understood what Bei Mingxuan wanted. "Shan Yan doesn't have such ability. The fog in front of me is Wu Chenzi's unique trick of sleight of hand. Without extremely deep internal strength, it is impossible to break the fog in front of me."
Bei Mingxuan didn't say anything. He waved his sleeves and soon the fog in front of him disappeared, along with the two mountains.
Chang'an looked at Bei Mingxuan in surprise.
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have taken a detour when I got here, after all, there was a mountain ahead with no road at all.
How can I walk?
But now there are no mountains in front of me, only a completely flat road, and the city gate at the end of the road is visible at a glance.
The words "Piao Miao City" were written on the city gate.
Someone saw that it was Bei Mingxuan, "Yes, Master Jiu. Open the city gate!"
When they walked into the city gate, Chang'an looked back and saw that the two mountains before were still the same as before, covered with mist, and standing not far ahead.
Bei Mingxuan clearly saw Chang'an's doubts and asked, "Do you want to learn?"
"think."
Bei Mingxuan raised the corners of his lips, lowered his head, and whispered in Chang'an's ear, "You need to put in more effort tonight..."
“…” Chang’an’s face turned red and he glared at Bei Mingxuan.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Shan Yan standing beside me.
She knew Shan Yan's martial arts skills. Yes, he must have heard what Bei Mingxuan said just now.
Thinking of this, her face turned even redder.
She really wanted to find a rope to tie Bei Mingxuan's mouth.
"Don't be shy, Mr. Shan, I will pretend that I didn't hear anything." Bei Mingxuan said with a chuckle.
"..." Chang'an was completely desperate. To be with this man, he had to be thicker-skinned than him in order to have a conversation with him.
Only after the people on the city gate came down did Bei Mingxuan put away his gentle and playful expression.
"Master Jiu! You're here."
"Yeah. Has Fu Cheng arrived?"
"Replying to Master Jiu, we're here."
"Notify Liuying, Xuanfeng, and Qixingzi to gather at the tent." Bei Mingxuan ordered.
"yes."
Qixingzi means seven people.
Named after the Big Dipper, the first of the seven stars is Tianshu, followed by Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang and Yaoguang.
They said we were inside the city, but when we got in, we realized it wasn't a city at all, it was clearly a military camp.
Chang'an followed Bei Mingxuan and came to the military tent.
At this time, the people in the big tent were already waiting for Bei Mingxuan.
With the arrival of Bei Mingxuan, Chang'an, and Shan Yan, everyone's eyes fell on Chang'an.
Over the years, they have never seen a woman around Bei Mingxuan.
"Master Jiu!" Everyone knelt down.
Bei Mingxuan's eyes swept over several people, and finally landed on Fu Cheng. "Why are there two fewer Seven Stars?"
"Master Jiu, Yaoguang and Kaiyang have gone to the Aurora Land. I'm afraid they won't be back until tomorrow morning."
Chang'an noticed that Fu Cheng addressed Bei Mingxuan here not as Master, not as Prince, but as Ninth Master.
"Get up," Bei Mingxuan finally said, "This is our military advisor, Mr. Shan. From today on, the rest of you must cooperate with Mr. Shan and learn the art of war."
"Please give me your guidance." Shan Yan looked at several people.
However... no one spoke.
