Chapter 391 Princess, what herbs are you looking for?
Tianyi lowered his voice involuntarily: "Master, are the Nanzhao Kingdom and the Beidi harassing the border again?"
Mo Liyuan's eyes instantly turned cold as frost, and his voice carried a barely perceptible chill: "The envoys of the two countries met with Mo Jicang, and also deployed a number of troops on the border."
Tianyi was shocked when he heard this: "Are they...are they going to go to war with our Dongyao Nation?"
Mo Liyuan didn't answer, but said coldly: "Bring me some pen and ink."
Upon hearing this, An Yi immediately turned around, quickly took out the pen and ink, and placed them neatly.
Mo Liyuan held the wolf hair brush in his hand and wrote with great speed. In just a few moments, the two secret letters were finished.
He gently blew the ink dry and handed the letter to Tianyi: "Give these two letters to the secret guards. Send one to General Yun Yongyuan stationed in Beidan City, and the other to General Sima Qing stationed at Jiagu Pass."
Tianyi responded, took the letter, and walked out quickly.
Mo Liyuan slowly stood up, flicked the dust off his robe, and entered the room. He walked to the bed and lay down gently, fearing to disturb Lan Xiyue who was sleeping soundly.
Lan Xiyue was sleeping soundly. She turned over and rolled into Mo Liyuan's arms.
Mo Liyuan's movements suddenly froze. He lowered his head to look at the beauty in his arms. Seeing that she was still sleeping soundly, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and his frown gradually relaxed.
He gently hugged Lan Xiyue and fell asleep together.
The next morning, Lan Xiyue opened her eyes and found that Mo Liyuan was no longer by her side.
Lan Xiyue stood up, dressed neatly, and opened the door.
Outside the door, a maid was already waiting with hot water. When she saw her come out, she quickly bowed and walked in with the hot water.
After Lan Xiyue finished washing up, she followed the maid into the dining hall.
After Lan Xiyue finished her breakfast, she opened her red lips and leisurely called out to the darkness, "An Yi!"
As soon as the words fell, a dark figure flashed out from the darkness like a ghost, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully: "Princess."
"Where's Mo Liyuan?"
"Princess, the prince went to the barracks early in the morning to discuss matters."
Lan Xiyue said "Oh" softly, she slowly stood up and walked out of the mansion, An Yi followed closely behind her, like a shadow.
Walking out of the City Lord's Mansion, Lan Xiyue was attracted by the scene before her.
Fengcheng Street today was obviously much more lively than when they came yesterday. The bustling crowd was mixed with the cries of various vendors, making it extremely lively.
Even the teahouse next door was packed with people and bustling with noise.
Lan Xiyue raised her eyebrows slightly, walked into the teahouse, and sat down at a table in the corner of the hall.
Inside the teahouse, the storyteller was talking with saliva flying everywhere, drawing waves of applause.
"Speaking of the Regent King Mo Liyuan, he was a god at leading troops and had a great reputation. As soon as he arrived in Fengcheng, the rebels were scared out of their wits and retreated directly to Yamen Mountain. Even the people who were afraid of the war came back one after another after hearing the news, and Fengcheng once again returned to its former tranquility." The storyteller's voice was passionate.
Lan Xiyue listened with a faint smile on her lips.
She turned to look at An Yi beside her, her eyes filled with a hint of teasing: "Mo Liyuan holds a very high status in the hearts of the people."
An Yi whispered, "Princess, the prince's reputation not only makes other countries tremble in fear, but the people also regard him as the guardian god of Dongyao Kingdom."
An Yi scratched his head and continued, "Well, Princess, the secret guards sent a secret letter last night saying that the envoys from Nanzhao and Beidi met with Mo Jicang, and the two countries have already deployed a lot of troops on the border."
Lan Xiyue frowned slightly when she heard this. It seemed that Nanzhao Kingdom and Beidi had evil intentions for a long time. No wonder Mo Liyuan disappeared so early in the morning.
Lan Xiyue took out a tael of silver and placed it on the table, then stood up and walked out of the teahouse.
An Yi followed closely behind. Lan Xiyue suddenly stopped and turned to look at An Yi: "An Yi, go and ask around. Are there any mountains near Fengcheng? Are there any medicinal herbs in those mountains?"
An Yi was stunned when he heard this, then nodded in agreement.
"Princess, please wait a moment. I will be back soon." After saying that, his figure disappeared from Lan Xiyue's sight like a black shadow.
Lan Xiyue secretly thought in her heart that while she had nothing to do now, she would go collect some herbs and plant them in the space.
After a while, An Yi returned and said, "Princess, I've inquired at the pharmacy up ahead. They say Qingfeng Mountain outside the city is rich in medicinal herbs. Some people often go there to collect herbs in exchange for silver. However, there are tigers roaming deep in the mountains, so people only dare to collect herbs on the outskirts and not go deep."
Hearing this, Lan Xiyue murmured, "Qingfeng Mountain? Is it far?"
An Yi quickly replied, "Not far. We'll be there in an hour after exiting the west city gate."
Lan Xiyue nodded and said, "Let's go to Qingfeng Mountain." After that, she turned and walked towards the west city gate.
"Princess, how about I go back and prepare a carriage?"
Lan Xiyue waved her hand and said, "No need. It's not far. Why do we need a carriage? Once we get out of the west city gate, we can just use Qinggong."
Upon hearing this, An Yi scratched his head. That's right, the princess's lightness skill is now much faster than his.
The two of them quickly left the west city gate and sped along the way using light skills. In half an incense stick of time, they had arrived at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain.
Lan Xiyue stopped and looked carefully at the Qingfeng Mountain in front of her.
The mountains were towering and shrouded in clouds and mist. She took a deep breath, feeling the fresh mountain air, and an inexplicable excitement surged in her heart.
"Let's hike up the mountain." Lan Xiyue said to An Yi.
Yami nodded, and the two began to hike up the mountain.
Along the way, Lan Xiyue's eyes searched everywhere, trying to find traces of herbs.
It might be because the nearby villagers have been collecting herbs outside Qingfeng Mountain all year round, causing the herbs here to become very scarce. Lan Xiyue did not find any valuable herbs along the way.
The two climbed higher and higher, heading deeper into Qingfeng Mountain.
The mountain road became increasingly difficult to walk on, with thorns, weeds and trees everywhere.
The man holding a long sword in one hand swung the sword in front to clear the way.
"Princess, what herbs are you looking for?" An Yi's voice echoed in the quiet forest, with a hint of doubt.
"Any useful herbs are welcome."
Upon hearing this, An Yi paused slightly and frowned. "Ah? Princess, there are only two of us. We need all the herbs. If we find a lot, how will we take them? I should have called An Er and Yun Dian earlier."
An Er and the others also came this time. After this period of training, their martial arts skills have improved.
Lan Xiyue just curled her lips slightly, "No need for them."
An Yi could only continue forward, thinking to himself: "Since the princess said so, they probably won't be able to collect many herbs, right?" So, he raised his sword again and cleared the way.
