"You're the only one who talks too much. If it weren't for the two of us, you would have been killed long ago. If they had thrown you on the cliff, you would have starved to death."

Originally, he wanted to embarrass Chu Weiyue, but after hearing these words, Zuo Tianlin became the most embarrassed one. He was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a place to hide.

After a long while, Zuo Tianlin's face turned red and he gave Wen Jingchi an admiring look.

"Your Majesty, I now finally understand your extraordinary qualities. You are truly very tolerant."

Chu Weiyue glared at him and kicked him hard in the leg.

"What do you mean by that? Don't think I can't hear it. Are you trying to smear me?"

"My Lady Princess, how dare I say that? I'm just praising you!"

Chu Weiyue snorted in dissatisfaction and was too lazy to talk nonsense with him.

Although Zuo Tianlin's leg has healed, he can't work too hard.

So along the way, the two of them have to take good care of him.

This night, I finally got through without any danger.

Over the next two nights, they struggled to get down from the mountain.

The foot of the mountain was obviously much more lively, and there was also a small market. Chu Weiyue ran directly to a shop selling buns.

For three days, they had been drinking water and eating dry food. No matter how delicious the food was, they were tired of it and finally they could have a hot meal.

Chu Weiyue finished two baskets of steamed buns in one breath and drank two bowls of beef soup. Then he covered his stomach with his hands and showed a satisfied look on his face.

Wen Jingchi and Zuo Tianlin were also full. Looking at the official road ahead, Zuo Tianlin stood up and clasped his fists to the two of them.

"Your Highness, you and the princess will head to the capital now. I will go back to the military camp through this pipeline. We need someone to guard there. My injuries are almost healed, so I can do no harm alone."

Wen Jingchi nodded, "In that case, then you should hurry up and write to me if you have anything else."

Chu Weiyue took out a small jade pendant and presented it to Zuo Tianlin.

"This jade pendant is worth some money. You can find a pawnshop to sell it on the way. Otherwise, you won't have any money to go back. What should you do?"

All their belongings were lost, Zuo Tianlin was penniless, not even the token that symbolized his identity.

Zuo Tianlin frowned awkwardly, but in the end he could only take it and said, "Thank you, Princess."

At this time, a carriage came. Zuo Tianlin got on it quickly and waved goodbye to them.

After he left, Wen Jingchi and Chu Weiyue officially set out on their journey back to Beijing.

They found an inn in the town, rested for a night, and set out on their journey early the next morning.

It was almost noon when we finally arrived at the bustling city.

This city is comparable to the capital, with people coming and going on the streets, and all kinds of things being sold in the hustle and bustle.

Chu Weiyue was so greedy that she dragged Wen Jingchi to the street to eat and drink.

After buying so much stuff that both of them could hardly carry it, they found an inn.

After ordering a few side dishes, Chu Weiyue slowly tasted the tea.

Although it is simple, it tastes unique.

Wen Jingchi was amused by her. Sometimes, simple food and drink are much better than fine clothes and delicious food.

Just when the two were having the most pleasant chat, several men at the table next to them slammed the table.

"Is this true? The emperor is too much. How could he do this? He is so cruel to those people who can't beat us. How could he let our country lose face? It's so infuriating."

"I also think that this emperor is confused. I don't know how he became the emperor. I heard that the old emperor didn't like him at all and wanted to depose him. He used extraordinary means to get the throne."

"His brother was just killed by Watten, and he colluded with Watten's people and gave them benefits. I think they probably made a secret deal."

…

Listening to their discussion, Chu Weiyue sneered coldly.

Wen Chenxuan has evil ambitions, and everyone knows Sima Zhao's intentions. He is shooting himself in the foot.

Wen Jingchi nodded. "Wen Chenxuan has caused a big disaster this time. The people on Wateng's side will not let it go. They will definitely ask for the two cities, but how can he give them to them?"

"So now we just have to wait and see them fight each other."

Chu Weiyue's appetite suddenly increased and he took a big bite of the meat in his hand. The more he thought about it, the happier he felt. This is what they call "wicked people will be punished by God."

For a bastard like Wen Chenxuan, it would be best if there was thunder in the sky to kill him instantly, so as to avoid any harm.

Wen Jingchi wrote a letter in advance and gave it to Shen Mubai.

At this time, Shen Mubai was lying on the bed, dying.

Thinking that there was no news from Wen Jingchi and his little apprentice, he was so sad that he couldn't eat or drink these days.

The little maid came over to bring him food again, but Shen Mubai waved his hand gently, "No need, I can't eat."

"Master, you haven't eaten for a long time. Eat something. Your body won't be able to bear it if you continue like this."

Several other little girls came forward to persuade him, but Shen Mubai just sighed deeply.

"My little apprentice is gone, Wen Jingchi is gone too, how can I even have the mood to eat now? We were so close in the past, and we went through life and death together, but now they are gone first..."

He had been searching for Wen Jingchi in the front, but because he had not received any news from the two of them, he returned to the capital early in order to stabilize the situation.

I also thought that if the two of them were still alive, they would definitely return to the capital first.

So he kept waiting here, but after waiting for so long, he didn't get any news.

He had to doubt whether the two people really went there.

At this time, the little girl took out a letter.

"Master, this is something I just received. I wonder who wrote it to you."

Shen Mubai didn't want to read it at first, but when he saw the handwriting on it, his face changed instantly.

"All of you get out."

He winked at his men and asked them to close the door.

After everyone left, he quickly opened the letter.

When he saw the handwriting above, he was shocked. It was actually written by Wen Jingchi.

"Great, it turns out they are not dead!"

It briefly records what happened between him and Chu Weiyue. Although it seems miraculous, the important thing is that they are still alive.

Shen Mubai fell into intense excitement, and it took him a long time to calm down.

After reading the following content, his expression became somewhat unpredictable.

Then he called his trusted subordinates.

"Go find some storytellers right away and spread the news of Wen Chenxuan's collusion with Wateng. Spread the rumor among the beggars too, so that the people of the capital will know about it privately."

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

The men turned and left, and Shen Mubai picked up the tea and took a sip calmly.

His pale face just now has become full of energy.

Wen Chenxuan wanted to clear his name, but he was not given the opportunity.

Even if he investigates in depth, he probably won't be able to find out the truth.

Because as long as everyone is spreading the rumor, no one knows who started it first.
