Chapter 259 The Ancient Trees Are Green Again
"Little Hulu, keep an eye on my father. When he is done and is about to come back, I will give instructions to the Snow Wolf King."
After Chu Qinshu gave Xiao Hulu instructions, she went outside to sit under the ancient tree.
Half of the ancient tree is lush and green, while the other half still has gray and dry branches.
This means that after several months of hard work, she and Xiao Hulu are still only halfway done.
How can the other half be completed?
Prince Huai was exiled, the prefect of Jingzhou was beheaded, and Matthew Li's property was confiscated; yet not a single branch of this ancient tree remained green.
Don't these people have any influence on Sheng'an's kingdom?
But in the original book, these people were directly or indirectly harming the Eastern Palace, and they bore an unshirkable responsibility for the final outcome of Sheng Anguo.
Or did they deal with them but failed to rescue the cannon fodder that met the mission requirements?
However, Prince Huai is still jumping around in Youzhou, and Matthew Li has not yet been finally convicted. Perhaps there are still variables, so Gu Shu has not shown any progress in the mission?
Chu Qinshu sorted out her thoughts and saw Xiao Hulu running towards the old house.
"Master, the branches of the ancient tree are green again."
Little Gourd pointed at the ancient tree, reminding Chu Qinshu who was leaning against it in a daze.
"Huh? I just checked and it wasn't there, how come it's here now?"
Chu Qinshu quickly looked up and saw that, sure enough, one of the dead branches on the other side of the ancient tree had turned green again and sprouted new buds.
"Murong Zhan has already taken the antidote. The doctor your father found said that his health is fine and he will be able to recover to 70% or 80% if he takes good care of himself for a few years."
Xiao Hulu watched Chu Chengyi feed the antidote to Murong Zhan, and the water used to deliver the antidote was the water bag he brought with him.
I think this green branch means that Murong Zhan has saved his life.
"It seems that Murong Zhan is also a cannon fodder."
Chu Qinshu recalled the plot of the original book and remembered that Murong Zhan was the first person the empress dealt with after she ascended the throne.
If he hadn't rejected the real Luo Xinrou, the Queen might not have come here.
His existence is to stimulate the queen to take the first step towards becoming a heroine.
"Well, the Marquis of Loyalty was originally stationed in Xuzhou, commanding a hundred thousand naval forces. As the Marquis of Loyalty's eldest son, Murong Zhan will definitely take over the important task of guarding Xuzhou in the future.
After they were exiled, the commander of the Xuzhou navy was replaced by the queen's confidant.
Xiao Hulu reminded Chu Qinshu of this because Emperor Yongping did not seem to have taken any action in Xuzhou.
However, in the original book, the Xuzhou navy was not deceived and did not contribute to the empress's ascension to the throne.
Perhaps this navy only listens to the Marquis of Loyalty and the Queen's men have no power to command it at all?
"Little Gourd, do you have something to ask me?"
Chu Qinshu looked at the branch of the tree with new green leaves and was not in a hurry to let it grow new crops.
Keep it for emergency.
"Oh, your father was done with his work in Chuncheng, and wanted to let Snow Wolf King take him out for a walk, but Snow Wolf King couldn't understand what he was saying, so he just lay on the ground and ignored him."
When Xiao Hulu said this, he felt like laughing.
After Chu Chengyi finished his work at Murong's house, he wanted to ask Snow Wolf King to take him out for a walk, but he didn't expect Snow Wolf King to be so lazy that he didn't even move.
Little Gourd was very satisfied with this.
After all, the spirit beast recognizes its master as its master, so how can it listen to others?
How is that different from betraying one's master?
"Then I'll go take a look."
Chu Qinshu quickened her pace as she spoke.
As soon as I entered the study, I saw a picture on the wall of Chu Chengyi petting the Snow Wolf King.
Occasionally, a few bullets popped up on the screen.
"Why is the auspicious beast ignoring people? Is it because it thinks this place is too shabby?"
This was the doubt of the Marquis of Loyalty Murong Junde. They were exiled and lived in a small mountain village dozens of miles outside Chuncheng. The conditions were indeed simple.
"Snow Wolf King, please take me to Spring City for a walk. I will rely on you to show my majesty today."
This was Chu Chengyi’s thought. He was stroking the Snow Wolf King while muttering to himself.
But after he stroked for a long time, the Snow Wolf King still had a calm look on his face and didn't even give him an expression.
Chu Qinshu looked at him and felt embarrassed for him.
"Snow Wolf King, please take my father out for a walk. I will reward you with a big meal when you come back."
Chu Qinshu thought about it and decided that it wouldn't be a bad idea to build up some momentum for her father in Youzhou.
If the Qingluo Kingdom in the north and the Yansha Kingdom in the east heard the news, they would be frightened to some extent.
'Master, Snow Wolf listens to you.'
After receiving Chu Qinshu's order and responding, the Snow Wolf King looked at Chu Chengyi with gentle eyes, motioning him to ride on his back.
Chu Chengyi had trained several horses before, so he understood what the Snow Wolf King meant at a glance and quickly mounted on his back.
The Snow Wolf King stood up, let out a roar, and flew over the fence of Murong's courtyard and headed towards Chuncheng.
"It is indeed a lucky beast, and it is not easy to coax. The prince coaxed it for a long time before it was willing to let him go out."
Murong Junde looked at the figure that disappeared in the blink of an eye, feeling extremely envious.
But he also knew that the auspicious beast was not something that ordinary people could control.
"It is a blessing for the entire Sheng'an State that the crown prince can obtain a beast."
"Thanks to the care and support of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince over the past few years, our Murong family has been able to survive."
......
Except for Murong Junde, no one else in the Murong family dared to come and see the Snow Wolf King.
He stood in the yard staring at the direction where Chu Chengyi and the Snow Wolf King disappeared. His thoughts raced for a full quarter of an hour before he turned around and went back into the house, with his hands behind his back.
"Little Hulu, look after my father. If he is in danger, I can save him in time."
Chu Chengyi went to visit Chuncheng, and Chu Qinshu did not dare to leave the space, so she stayed with Xiao Hulu to stare at Chu Chengyi.
Encouraged by the big meal, the Snow Wolf King ran very happily. Not only did it take Chu Chengyi to jump onto the city wall of Chuncheng, it also took him directly into the county governor's mansion of Chuncheng.
After meeting the governor of Chuncheng County, he flew to the bell tower and drum tower in the city.
After appearing at all the landmark buildings in Chuncheng, he took Chu Chengyi to a temple outside Chuncheng that was very popular.
"Master, are you satisfied with the appearance of this auspicious beast?"
The Snow Wolf King carried Chu Chengyi to the highest point of the mountain behind the temple, attracting the monks and pilgrims in the temple to climb up the mountain to find out what was going on.
The Snow Wolf King was very satisfied with his performance.
It can transform into a spirit beast, and its brain is beyond the reach of ordinary snow wolves.
Besides, it’s just a lucky beast, and it’s not its first time playing a role, so it has a lot of experience.
"Satisfied. This is how auspicious beasts come and go without a trace, making people feel dazed and mysterious."
Chu Qinshu was really satisfied with the Snow Wolf King's understanding.
If the Snow Wolf King really carried Chu Chengyi through the streets, it would inevitably scare people.
Such a quick appearance and quick departure is undoubtedly more convincing.
'Master, can I come back now? Your father can't enter the space. Tell me a place and I will take him there immediately.'
The Snow Wolf King took an hour to run all over Chuncheng.
Its thick fur made it not afraid of the cold, but Chu Chengyi on its back seemed to have laid on its back after climbing the mountain.
"Go directly back to the Imperial Palace's study."
Chu Qinshu looked at Chu Chengyi on the back of the Snow Wolf King and felt a little worried.
