Jiang Yan whispered, "Does that mean good things are coming?"
"Yes! This time when I came back, the master also asked someone to bring some local specialties, saying that you might like them. The master called you godfather all the time and was very respectful to you! Master, I think, the day this is accomplished will also be the day when you will be crowned king!" Liu Yong hurriedly flattered him.
Raising his hand coldly to stop Liu Yong from continuing, Jiang Yan whispered, "Since good things are coming, we should do more. Send all the remaining people over and find an opportunity. I want to see him before he makes his final attack!"
Liu Yong nodded quickly, "Yes, Master, Liu Yong understands!"
Jiang Yan waved his hand, signaling him to leave.
After the door was closed, Jiang Yan stood up and admired a landscape painting hanging on the wall. It was a painting by a famous contemporary artist, and he had always liked the strong political significance in the painting.
How could a small prince satisfy his inflated ambition? He wanted the descendants of his Jiang family to be the ruler of a country!
Early in the morning, the five of them packed their luggage and went into the mountains, while the three of them seemed to intentionally stay behind to leave enough space for Shui Yao and Yue Nanchen to get along.
Although it is early winter, the scenery in the mountains is greatly reduced, but along the mountain road, there are many rugged mountains and ever-changing flying clouds, which are not only unique but also extremely beautiful.
In order to make it easier to go up the mountain, Shui Yao changed into new clothes today. She wore a blue tight-fitting robe with long sleeves.
Yue Nanchen was still dressed in black with a white coat on the outside. The gold-thread embroidered bamboo on the black clothes shone brightly in the cold winter light. His face was handsome and ruthless. The two of them stood side by side, as if they were competing with each other.
Galloping up all the way,
Soon we reached the top of the mountain and saw the deep pool. This was the source of the Tianxi River!
Looking around, there are 28 peaks in Tianxi Mountain. The water of Tianxi River winds through the peaks, like a jade belt shining brightly in the winter sun.
Behind me, the water of Tianxi River cascades down from a great height. The lake gradually becomes narrower not far ahead, and winding down along the mountain road is the Tianxi River.
"The Tianxi River is so long and the Tianxi Mountain is so big, where is the source of the holy water?" Yue Nanchen walked around the lake but couldn't see any clues, so he whispered.
Shui Yao also shook her head. How could she know that things were developing towards this point, and every step was inexplicable. Maybe it was Tian Wen who came. He naturally knew something, but he just didn't show up.
The person who appeared in front of her was Yue Nanchen. Why?
"Let's just treat it as a sightseeing trip and search along the Tianxi River. Maybe we can find some clues!" Shui Yao said lazily, pointing at the peaks of the mountains, and she really had some of the heroic spirit of pointing out the mountains and rivers.
"Aren't you in a hurry?" Yue Nanchen looked at her and didn't expect that she was so calm.
"Why are you in such a hurry? The worst that can happen is that I will go to bed with you and kill that kid A Luo. He is the one who caused this disaster anyway. You made the decision casually without asking others about such an important blood oath!" Shui Yao spread her hands lazily and walked down along the direction of the river.
Yue Nanchen's face suddenly darkened, and he stepped forward to hold her hand, "Don't worry, I will definitely find the source of the holy water!"
Shui Yao was stunned. She thought he would agree to this idea, but she didn't expect him to say such words. She felt a little disappointed.
"Yuan Nanchen,
Do you really care about Nanhan so much and about A Luo's life and death?" Shui Yao whispered, "I thought you were cruel and cold, and didn't care about anyone, but it turns out you are so good to your brothers and sisters!"
Yue Nanchen smiled slightly, "You are wrong, I don't care about A Luo's life or death, it's because..." Yue Nanchen did not continue speaking, but searched along the river.
Why? Yue Nanchen's words aroused Shui Yao's interest, but he didn't say it and she didn't ask, otherwise it would seem that she really wanted to know.
The two talked about this as they searched, but they didn't expect that after a day, they had only passed one hill and had to sleep outdoors on the mountain at night.
At first, Qianhun and the others intentionally fell behind, but later on, for some unknown reason, they completely disappeared. Fortunately, both of them had food on their shoulders, so they were not in a hurry.
Thinking they might be lost in the mountains, the two found a place under a cliff that was sheltered from the wind on all sides before dark and picked up firewood to keep warm.
When the warm fire lit up, Lan Shuiyao, who was sitting beside him, glanced at Yue Nanchen lazily. Under the brilliant firelight, the man's character's face was red, and his pair of dark eyes were bright and lively.
"You can really do a lot of things. You don't act like a spoiled prince at all!" Shui Yao said lazily, and threw the frozen buns to him. He used a branch to stick them in and toasted them.
Seeing the situation, Shui Yao immediately became interested and shouted, "Wait for me!" After that, she quickly disappeared.
In the time it took for a cup of tea, Yue Nanchen had already finished a dry steamed bun. Seeing the rabbit in her hand, he raised his eyebrows slightly, "You want to roast a rabbit?"
“
Wrong, it's stewed. Have you ever eaten beggar rabbit?" Shui Yao was very excited and threw the rabbit to him, "You clean it up, and I'll be responsible for buying the cooking skills, so I don't have to pay for the rabbit!"
Yue Nanchen was stunned. He was really stingy. He would settle accounts even for a rabbit!
However, if one really wants to taste Lan Shuiyao's craftsmanship, he can only work hard to kill rabbits. Poor his soft sword. It has been with him for more than ten years and has always drunk human blood, including many princes and nobles. But now it has fallen to the fate of a rabbit killing knife!
Watching Shui Yao dig out the bag of earth and open it, a burst of fragrance wafted to Yue Nanchen's nose. His appetite immediately whetted and he couldn't help but tear off a rabbit leg to eat. The taste was indeed unique, much more delicious than those strange raw meat and fish!
"So you did it on purpose before. You can obviously cook such delicious food, but you deliberately gave me those raw meat and fish to eat!" Yue Nanchen ate while looking at Lan Shuiyao who was lying lazily on the side, lying on the side and moving around with the silk hanging on both ends of the tree.
Seeing Yue Nanchen eating with relish, Shui Yao looked at him dimly, "You are the first person who has eaten the beggar rabbit that I cooked myself and is still alive!"
Yue Nanchen was stunned and looked at her in confusion.
"I used to eat it with many friends. It tasted especially sweet at that time. It's a pity that none of them are still alive today. Some of them were even killed by me!"
Shui Yao smiled gently, her voice still lazy and gentle, without a trace of sadness, "If I were not cruel and ruthless, cold and selfish, perhaps you would not be able to eat this flower rabbit today!"
Yue Nanchen frowned, and suddenly felt that the delicious food in his hand had lost its taste. "Yao'er, I want to know about your past. Are you willing to tell me about it?"
"No!" Lan Shui
Yao flew down from the white silk, looking like a beautiful blue butterfly. "Why bother talking about the sad things in the past? Besides, the most important thing is that I am living a good life now. You just need to know that I am the only one who survived among the 108 orphans. That's enough!"
She tore off a piece of rabbit meat and put it in her mouth, and then saw her close her eyes in enjoyment, "It's really delicious, it still tastes the same as it did back then. Although there are no seasonings, the most prominent thing is the fragrance of the rabbit meat!"
When Yue Nanchen saw it, he immediately rushed over to grab it. The two of them happily tore a rabbit into pieces and ate them. The more they ate, the happier they became.
After a full meal and a good drink, Lan Shuiyao patted her belly and burped, lying comfortably on the white silk, gazing at the starry sky, "Yue Nanchen, since we finally met, I advise you to go back to Nanyue. This may be a trap set by Tianwen. You followed me around in the mountains, and something earth-shattering might have happened outside!"
Yue Nanchen leaned against the cliff, gazing at the beautiful night sky, with a calm expression, but a cold and unquestionable voice.
"Since I went to the battlefield at the age of thirteen, there has not been a single day that I didn't live for Nanyue. Now I want to live for myself for two days! Lan Shuiyao, no matter what you say, don't try to stop me!"
"Then do whatever you want!" Lan Shuiyao spread her hands. She had never seen such a stubborn man. He knew it was a trap but still wanted to get into it. Could it be that he really liked her that much...
Suddenly, she thought of something and asked him softly, "That night, when you carried me into Liu Yirou's bedroom, did you really not think about the consequences?"
"I've thought about it!" Yue Nanchen nodded, "But if you die, Nanyue and Miluo will have the same outcome!"
