Chapter 623: Reborn Girl vs. Book-Traveling Girl 44
Having said this, the Marquis's wife shed tears silently.
"She won't live past thirty. I just hope she can live comfortably for the rest of her life, without being tortured by illness. I'll be satisfied.
Thank you, Sanya. Thank you so much."
Zheng Yunxi didn't say much, left the elixir and turned to leave.
How they use this magical medicine is entirely up to them.
Zheng Yunxi was actually just passing by when he came back this time.
Before this, she had been traveling northwards, and there was a natural chasm ahead.
This is the trace left by the battle between powerful people in ancient times. In that era, practitioners could fly in the air, so they naturally did not take this natural barrier seriously.
But now that the spiritual energy is exhausted, it is really difficult to cross it.
Besides, this continent is so vast that Zheng Yunxi might not be able to walk through it in her lifetime, so she decided to go to the south to take a look.
Her return route was not far from Kyoto, so she stopped by to take a look and planned to rest in the capital for a while.
However, her plan was ultimately disrupted by Prince Rong.
Only two days after returning from the emperor, Prince Rong discovered that the emperor's men had already set off, and his idea of sneaking out of the capital was closely monitored by the people arranged by the emperor, so he could not leave the capital at all.
In desperation, he thought of Zheng Yunxi, who had just returned from his travels and came to the Marquis Xuanping's mansion every day to pester her, as if waiting to hear a storyteller.
After only two days, Zheng Yunxi couldn't bear it anymore.
Except for sleeping, Prince Rong spends all his time looking for Zheng Yunxi.
A good person's mouth is either eating or drinking, or talking.
Zheng Yunxi's skill wasn't in her mouth, and she was really afraid that if she continued like this, she wouldn't know if her lips were too thin, but her throat would definitely be damaged.
So, on a dark and windy night, Zheng Yunxi quietly said goodbye to the old marquis and his wife, secretly left the city with Xiaotao, and headed south.
At daybreak, the two men came to a tea stall and saw the puppet master already sitting there drinking tea and waiting.
Xiao Tao ran over happily and shouted, "Master, I thought I would never see you again.
It's great to meet you. My lady is going to travel to the south with me. Master, would you like to go with her?"
The puppet master and Zheng Yunxi smiled at each other.
"My dear disciple, come quickly. I am also planning to go south, and we can go together."
How could there be so many coincidences? Zheng Yunxi took advantage of Xiaotao's inattention and released the puppet master in advance, and asked him to drive the carriage and wait here.
A few people bought some buns for breakfast at the tea stall, and then got on the carriage to set off.
At this moment, Prince Rong's urgent call came from behind: "Miss Third, Miss Third, wait for me, let's go together."
I have to say that Prince Rong is really sensible. When he needs help from others, he takes the initiative to change the address from "this prince" to "I".
Zheng Yunxi had a terrible headache and asked, "Your Highness Prince Rong, does His Majesty know that you've left the capital? Are you sneaking out again?"
Prince Rong felt a little guilty, but his tone was still righteous.
"What do you mean by sneaking away? I'm an adult now, I'm fully responsible for my own safety.
It's too dangerous for you to take your maid with you and this strange man. You'd better take me with you. After all, I'm an acquaintance of yours and much more reliable than a stranger."
As he spoke, he glanced towards the puppet master, afraid that others didn't know who he was talking about.
Zheng Yunxi held his forehead, not knowing who the outsider was.
"This is my master. Prince Rong, you should return quickly. We are safe here. His Majesty will surely be worried if you disappear so suddenly."
When Prince Rong learned the identity of the puppet, his eyes immediately lit up.
As if he didn't hear what Zheng Yunxi said, he walked up to the puppet master and started talking to him in an intimate way.
The Prince Rong's Mansion in Kyoto is in chaos right now because of Prince Rong's disappearance.
Fortunately, Zheng Yunxi left a letter for the emperor, informing him of his whereabouts.
As soon as the emperor thought about it, he knew that his unfortunate brother must have run away with someone.
I don’t know how Prince Rong’s ability to keep an eye on people is so good that he even discovered Zheng Yunxi’s impromptu departure time.
In fact, Prince Rong had only bribed the servants of Marquis Xuanping's mansion with some small favors, and asked the servants to send him a letter by carrier pigeon.
Everyone in Prince Rong's mansion received orders from the emperor to help keep an eye on Prince Rong and prevent him from running around.
But he still went through a lot of trouble. First he climbed through a dog hole and then stole the clothes of the guards at the city gate before he got out of the city.
When the emperor sent someone to find Zheng Yunxi to confirm whether Prince Rong was really with them, Zheng Yunxi and his group were still staying in the tea stall.
Prince Rong turned a deaf ear to Zheng Yunxi's words and just chatted enthusiastically with the puppet master.
The puppet master also answered every question, which was obviously much more straightforward than Zheng Yunxi's communication style, where he said ten sentences and she only replied one.
The person sent by the emperor was a royal monk, who was the grandfather of Prince Rong and was known as the Old Prince Huai.
But now he only lets people call him Huai Bo, and the title of "King Huai" has long been inherited by his grandson.
Upon seeing the old man, Prince Rong became much more obedient. He took the initiative to step forward and salute, with a hint of guilt in his eyes.
Huai Bo walked forward, his face free of anger and smiling very kindly.
"You are still so restless, okay, stop dodging.
I'm not here to take you back.
I'll go out with you for a while, so you can see what the world of cultivators is like. Don't think about sneaking out anymore."
Prince Rong immediately showed a look of surprise on his face and nodded repeatedly, promising that he would not cause trouble if he encountered any danger.
Afterwards, Huai Bo walked up to Zheng Yunxi and the puppet master, clasped his hands together, and acted humble.
"It is truly rude of me, your incompetent nephew, to interrupt you. I wonder where you are going, but would you allow me and my grandson to travel with you?"
This person who was like an ancestor of the royal family spoke sincerely and had a humble attitude, so Zheng Yunxi naturally would not give him face.
Having two more people traveling with them has no impact on them. They are casual and go wherever they want.
Besides, with someone who has experienced life in his early years by your side, you may be able to avoid some detours on your journey.
The puppet master didn't say anything. Zheng Yunxi always made the decision on such matters.
Zheng Yunxi glanced at the puppet master, pretending to ask for his opinion, and then said with a smile, "Of course, no problem. If Huai Bo can come along, it will definitely make the journey much easier. We couldn't ask for more."
Thus, the original team of two people and one puppet was joined by the royal grandfather and grandson.
This time I was away for nearly ten years.
Under Huai Bo's leadership, they went to many places that Zheng Yunxi had never heard of.
Those places were once prosperous in the past and were treasure lands where spiritual energy gathered.
However, as the spiritual energy dried up, many treasure hunters flocked to the place, and now it has lost its glory and become an ordinary place.
They also witnessed monks fighting each other for the treasures of heaven and earth.
