They stayed in Hanshan Temple for two days. On the day of departure, Jiang Tuantuan and Li Jingchen went to say goodbye to Master Yuqing.
When Master Yuqing saw them coming, he said earnestly, "Last night I observed the stars and discovered that a devastating event would occur soon."
Hearing this, the two were shocked and asked hurriedly, "What's the matter?"
"I don't know about that. I only know that this time the scale is huge and there will be rivers of blood."
These words made the two men's hair stand on end. The people had only lived a life of full food and warm clothing for a few years, and they could not afford to go through such a thing. After bidding farewell to Master Yuqing, the two men were heavy-hearted, but this matter had not happened yet, so they decided to suppress it in their hearts and quickly return to the capital to deal with it later.
When they returned home, they happened to meet a horse-riding guard who was delivering the emperor's letter. It was an urgent journey of 800 miles, and they didn't know how many horses had run out of steam.
After opening the letter, everyone gathered together to read it. After reading it, they breathed a sigh of relief. They thought it was something important, but it turned out to be urging them to return to the capital.
Everyone packed their bags leisurely and went to the streets to buy a bunch of local specialties to take back to share with family and friends. They bought all kinds of delicious, fun, and beautiful things, clothes, porcelain, and jewelry. The alleys that were originally empty were now completely packed.
After buying things, we rested for one night before setting off from Suzhou.
Before departure, everyone was reluctant to leave this place, missing the air here, the scenery here, the leisurely days here, and the freedom.
This time, the trip back to the capital would be much faster, as they had already collected all the species on the way here. Rou'er asked curiously, "Tuantuan, what about the plants you collected at Hanshan Temple? Did you bring them along too?"
"No, I'll let them return to the world after I finish my research."
This reason seemed so forced, but Rou'er believed it.
The emperor waited and waited, but they didn't come back. He was extremely anxious. It had been half a month, and they should have arrived by now.
Maybe they were moving too slowly, so the emperor waited for another week, but no one came back.
Worried and anxious, he sent guards to look for her.
In fact, it was because Jiang Tuantuan and the others felt that they were traveling too fast and sitting in the carriage was too bumpy, so they walked slowly all the way.
On the way back, if I see a place with nice scenery, I will stop for a while, look around, and naturally walk very slowly.
In order to pass the time, they even played Landlord in the car!
This is the most ancient set of playing cards that Jiang Tuantuan bought from the mall. They are all made of paper available at that time.
Looking at this novel gadget, everyone became curious.
Jiang Tuantuan patiently explained the rules of the game, how to play Landlord, and so on. If you lose, you pay, but the stakes aren't high, just fifty coins.
After learning it, everyone started playing. Once they started playing, they became addicted to it. This thing was so interesting that everyone stayed in their cars to play cards.
At first, Jiang Tuantuan relied on his experience playing the game before, winning every time until he became numb and excited. At the end of the day, he had won three taels of silver. The ones who lost the most were Rou'er and Mingman.
But she was so excited. There was nothing she could do about the remaining popularity, so she could only accept the defeat.
But two days later, the tide began to turn. Rou'er, who had been losing for a long time, rose up and won three games in a row. She almost jumped up in the carriage.
Mingman also started to lose one and win one, so there is hope.
Two days later, the tide turned, and Jiang Tuantuan began to lose one after another. He was completely unable to defeat this group of people, especially Meng Zifan, who was the most powerful. He was always called the landlord, but he still won every time. Isn't that infuriating?
Everyone plays from morning to night every day and has a lot of fun.
Meng Zifan said: "You are really amazing. You can actually think of such an interesting game."
"Hey, there are other games, they are also very fun."
Everyone asked, what is it?
Jiang Tuantuan gave a pretentiously sophisticated smile.
"Oh, stop hiding it, just tell me."
"It's not that I don't want to tell you, but the space in the car is too small, and I don't have the stuff. I have to go back and make it. When it's done, I'll find you guys. There are eight of us, so we can split into two tables and play together."
"Okay, it's a deal. Start making it as soon as we get to the capital."
Everyone was immersed in laughter, but Li Jingchen was still thinking over and over again about Master Yuqing's words. He always felt that this matter was related to Mingman's kidnapping. There might be a war. If the war really broke out, who knows how many years it would take to end. Will there be any accidents? Yubao is still so young, and Jiang Tuantuan is also a worrying person.
The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. Jiang Tuantuan noticed his subtle change, nudged him with his arm, and then leaned over to whisper in his ear, "When you reach the mountain, there will always be a way out."
Then she gave him a big hug.
My heart was warmed immediately.
The guards who came to look for someone saw a large group of carriages and immediately realized that it must be Princess Mingman and others. They were finally found.
The guard immediately stepped forward to announce his identity and said, "The Emperor is concerned for your well-being and has sent us to fetch you."
After hearing this, everyone finally became a little nervous, especially Mingman. When she returned to the capital, she was inevitably lectured by her father and was trembling with fear.
He stopped playing cards and headed towards the capital with all his might.
Three days later, we finally arrived. The capital was still the same, but the weather had become very cold.
After entering the city, everyone said goodbye to each other and returned to their homes.
Mr. Zhou was relieved to finally see his daughter. Seeing that she had returned safely and not only had she not lost weight, but her complexion also seemed to be in good condition, he finally put his heart at ease and specially prepared a table of delicious dishes, all of which were Rouer's favorites.
Hua He also returned to Tongji Clinic. When the innkeeper saw him, he quickly came up to him and complained, "Why did you take so long? The clinic is so busy. There have been so many people getting sick with colds lately. We're absolutely swamped."
"I'm back now, it's okay!"
The shopkeeper rolled his eyes at her in frustration, then sighed while looking at the rooftop: "When can I go out and have fun without having to worry about all this?"
When Meng Zifan returned home, his family members were not very enthusiastic and just greeted him briefly, because everyone was used to his behavior of leaving without saying goodbye.
Jiang Tuan Tuan and Li Jingchen knocked on the door. The servant at the door opened it and saw that it was the prince and princess who had returned. He immediately shouted excitedly into the mansion, "The prince and princess are back! The prince and princess are back!"
When the people in the mansion heard the shouting, their eyes lit up, and they walked out of the house and went to the door to greet them.
Feng Xiaoli took Yubao's hand and said to him, "Daddy and Mommy are back."
When Yubao heard this, he immediately rushed forward with his little chubby legs, wanting to see his father and mother as soon as possible.
