"Go to the Mountain Spirit Temple and let them know."
Qing Wu stuffed the walnut kernel into the little fox's mouth and told Lu Qiao: "Don't worry, just do what you need to do."
Luqiao accepted the order. Seeing this, Huo Hongying said, "Miss Luqiao will be alone and weak. I will let the guards go with her."
Luqiao subconsciously looked at Qingwu. She felt that Miss Huo might have misunderstood the princess's intention again.
She really just went there to pass on the message. The one who should be worried about the lack of manpower should be the talent in the Right Prime Minister's Office.
After all, there are real mountain spirits in the Mountain Spirit Temple. If the mountain spirits get angry, won’t mortals be in trouble?
"Whatever." Qing Wu did not comment.
Huo Hongying nominated three people to go with Luqiao. Qing Wu clapped her hands and said, "It's boring to stay here. Let's go to the forest and pick some thousand-flowered Ganoderma lucidum or something to play with."
Huo Hongying couldn't help laughing: "Thousand-flowered Ganoderma lucidum is not Chinese cabbage, how can you just pick it?"
Mu Ying, Hong Rui and others smiled but said nothing.
Qing Wu patted the little fox's butt and said, "Lead the way."
The little fox jumped down and ran into the woods with its short legs. Qing Wu followed leisurely. Huo Hongying was also intrigued and muttered as they walked, "Can this fat fox also pick herbs?"
The little fat fox turned around and stared at her.
Huo Hongying hissed and held onto Mu Ying's arm: "Sister Mu Ying, did you see that? It just glared at me! Can it really understand human language?"
Mu Ying: Not only can he understand, but he can also speak human language.
Hong Rui was sweating profusely, and lowered her voice and said, "Miss Huo, the little fox fairy can understand you, so you'd better be careful with your words."
Huo Hongying didn't care at all: "I admit that it has spirituality, but fox spirits and the like only exist in storybooks."
Hong Rui and Mu Ying looked at each other and fell silent.
Qing Wu looked at Huo Hongying and asked a strange question, "Do you raise chickens at home?"
Huo Hongying was stunned: "Maybe... don't raise it?"
"Let's raise a few." Qing Wuyu.
Huo Hongying was confused. Why did Tu Duanduan bring up the topic of raising chickens?
Qing Wu didn't explain. You can say that she is a fat fox, but she didn't eat your chicken.
Now that you say that, won't they have to come to your house and eat a few chickens to fatten themselves up?
The forest was thick with bushes and the path was obscure.
Huo Hongying was walking with some difficulty, but Qing Wu was walking very fast. Mu Ying was also a little out of breath, but his face was flushed and his complexion was getting better and better.
"It's really strange. The road in this forest is so difficult to walk on. Although it's tiring, the more I walk, the more refreshed I feel." Huo Hongying said, and the others around her nodded.
Suddenly, the guard beside her shouted.
“There really is Ganoderma lucidum!”
She looked subconsciously and saw a few Ganoderma lucidum clustered on the dead tree stump in front of her.
The small one is as big as a child's palm, while the large one is as big as three adult's palms.
A sleek little fox stood on a tree stump, its eyes full of pride. It shook its tail and swept down a piece of weed, only to see a few red beads hanging on the weed.
Someone recognized it and said, “That’s ginseng!”
Huo Hongying was stunned and couldn't believe it.
Qing Wu waved her hand: "I'll leave the picking of Zhi to you. Don't pick too many. Three or four will be enough. Xiao Ye will keep them."
After that, she continued walking deeper into the woods.
"Where are you going, Princess?"
"Find something else."
Huo Hongying was a little dazed. Looking at those Ganoderma lucidums, she felt as if she was walking on clouds. The guards around her were in a similar state.
On the other hand, Mu Ying and other people in Prince Yan's Mansion were very calm, and the two black-armored guards even made comments secretly.
"The Ganoderma lucidum statue that person sent last time was bigger than this one, right?"
"It's much bigger. This one is too small."
When the Huo family guards heard what they said, they looked at them strangely, thinking, do you hate that the palace is so rich?
Huo Hongying was so excited at the moment that she quickly asked people to pick herbs and couldn't take her eyes off the Ganoderma lucidum.
She wanted to do it herself, but was afraid that she would be clumsy and damage the herbs.
"This Henglu Mountain is so magical, no, there is also that fat fox fairy. Wow, this time I believe you when you say it is a fox fairy."
Mu Ying's expression is hard to describe.
It’s too late for you to believe it, the key point is... why are you still saying that she is fat?
Although they had only been together for half a day, Mu Ying really liked Huo Hongying's straightforward personality. She also noticed that Qing Wu had feelings for Huo Hongying, otherwise she wouldn't have reminded her like that.
"Miss Huo, please remember to buy a few chickens when you return home. It doesn't hurt to buy more."
Huo Hongying nodded and didn't seem to take it to heart.
Mu Ying sighed, never mind, reality can always teach you a lesson.
Qing Wu didn't leave for too long. When she came back, she was holding a piece of wood that looked like it was burnt.
"What is this?" Mu Yingtu was curious.
"Lightning-struck wood." Qing Wu threw the lightning-struck wood to the black-armored guard and whispered, "This thing can kill ghosts."
Qing Wu agreed to help Xiao Chenyan break the Yang Dragon Suppressing Yin Phoenix formation in the palace, and found the materials today.
Mu Ying looked worried.
The black-armored guard held the wood tightly, cautiously, fearing that it would fall and get damaged. His eyes were shining, as if he was holding a great treasure.
The Huo family guards watched from afar and became more and more confused.
The people in Prince Yan's mansion are really strange. They are not excited to see Lingzhi, but stare at a piece of broken wood in a daze.
Qing Wu smiled at Mu Ying to show that she was not angry.
Lightning strikes wood and can kill ghosts, but it cannot kill her.
By now the lightning-struck wood had been found and the Ganoderma lucidum had been picked, and the group returned the same way.
On the way, Huo Hongying was a little embarrassed: "Princess, can you sell me some of this Ganoderma lucidum?"
Everyone in the group has some chronic illness, and Huo Yi is no exception. This Ganoderma lucidum is a rare treasure, with at least several hundred pieces if not thousands.
Huo Hongying wanted to get some for her elder brother, as well as for the uncles and aunts in the army, as it might help save their lives at a critical moment.
"Whatever you dig up will belong to you."
"How can this be!" Huo Hongying was touched and excited: "This Ganoderma lucidum is hard to find. Even in the palace, there are probably not many. I can't take advantage of you, Princess."
Qing Wu pondered, glanced at Mu Ying, and chuckled, "Is this Lingzhi for General Huo?"
Huo Hongying nodded.
"Since that's the case, I have an idea. My nephew Yulang is in need of a martial arts teacher. Miss Huo might as well go back and ask General Huo what he thinks. If he is willing to accept you as a disciple, this Lingzhi will be your apprenticeship gift."
Mu Ying was surprised. Before she could speak, Huo Hongying immediately said, "Yes! How could my brother not want to?"
She made a prompt decision: "It's settled now! Lingzhi will be left with Sister Mu for now, and we'll talk about it when my brother officially comes to accept her as his disciple."
Mu Ying pursed her lips and looked at Qing Wu in confusion. Even if she was slow-witted, she could sense something strange.
She had a guess in her mind, but she killed it as soon as the thought came to her mind. Not to mention that she had been married before and had such a big son.
The other party is Huo Yi, how could he possibly...
Everyone had their own thoughts. By the time they returned to the place where the carriage stopped, Ji Feng and Po Jun had already eaten their fill.
Luqiao and the two Huo family guards had also returned a long time ago and were waiting, but the latter two had rather strange expressions on their faces, as if they were absent-minded.
Huo Hongying asked, "Has the situation at the Mountain Spirit Temple been properly handled? Where are the people from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion?"
One of the guards said: "They have all withdrawn from the Mountain Spirit Temple, but they are still looking for someone, that is..."
The guard had a strange expression.
"What is it?"
Without waiting for the guard to answer, Qing Wu got on the carriage and said, "Let's go, it's time to go back home."
Huo Hongying also stopped asking questions for a while.
The couple went down the mountain smoothly all the way, but when they were entering the city, they ran into a narrow road and unexpectedly met the carriage of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.
Huo Hongying did not ride a horse on the way back, but sat in the carriage with Qing Wu and Mu Ying.
She lifted the carriage curtain and saw that the maids and guards of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion were all covered in dust and dirt, as if they had rolled on the ground. Some of them had lumps on their faces and heads, as if their heads were broken.
"Oh my goodness, did these people from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion roll down from Henglu Mountain?"
The two Huo family guards thought of the scene they saw at the Shanling Temple. They didn't just roll down, they clearly poked the monkey's nest. The group of mountain kings chased and beat the people from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion all the way.
The falling of the stones was like flowers from heaven.
At this moment, the carriages of both sides were almost side by side and were about to pass each other when the curtain on the opposite carriage was lifted, revealing a pale and embarrassed face.
Huo Hongying didn't recognize the other person, but judging from the way she was dressed, it wasn't hard to guess her identity. Was this Situ Wei? Did the Right Prime Minister's Mansion find her?
However, Huo Hongying was very unhappy with Situ Wei's eyes: "What are you looking at?" She asked bluntly.
Situ Wei stared at them intently. To be more precise, she was staring at Qingwu, who was sitting opposite Huo Hongying. She spoke in a hoarse voice:
"You did it on purpose, didn't you?"
Situ Wei's pretty face was as pale as a dodder, full of resentment. After she mustered up the courage to escape her fate but failed, all she felt was resentment and indignation.
The moment she saw Qing Wu, she seemed to have found a reasonable excuse for her failed attempt to escape.
She had been hiding there very well, but she became very nervous when she saw Qing Wu. As soon as Qing Wu left, she wanted to move to another place, but ended up encountering the servant who was being chased by a monkey and was running for his life with his head in his hands.
"Princess Yan, I will remember what you said today."
