On a winding and dangerous mountain road, a simple carriage passed quickly through the dangerous road in the mountains, and one of the guards accompanying the horse was very solemn when he saw the dense black vultures gathered in the distance above the village at the foot of the mountain, and whispered something in front of the side window of the carriage, and the carriage slowly stopped.

After a moment of silence, the car window opened, and an angular pale face was exposed to the cold air, Yu Mingxuan narrowed his dark and deep eyes and stared at the strange scene under the mountain, and his thin lips were glowing with black gas in his paleness and said coldly: "Don't pay attention to it, continue to move forward, after arriving at the official road leading to Tongguan, you will enter the city first in disguise, and Ye Hui and I will go to the rudder to meet you later." ”

The guard nodded yes, and then said, "Pavilion Master, there is a message over there that Gu Luoyou is also looking for someone near Tongguan, do we need to avoid it?"

Yu Mingxuan snorted coldly: "She suffered heavy losses in this operation, and she didn't have the heart to pay attention to us," he looked at the guard with a glint in his eyes: "Find the eldest lady and take her back to Luoluo City immediately." ”

Yes, this time he traveled here in a roundabout way, and then turned back to Tongguan, just to avoid those troublesome characters, just because not long ago, he received news that the eldest sister who had been robbed by Heishui Village was in Tongguan, but Tongguan was so big, so many townships and counties, and he sent a message to the intelligence network to continue to explore, and sure enough, good news came a few days later.

Regardless of his subordinates' obstruction, this time he must welcome his eldest sister home, this is the only dear relative he has left in the world, how much suffering he has suffered after so many years of exile?

It had rained heavily last night, and it wasn't until noon the next day that the sun broke through the clouds and dappled light through the dense shade of the trees.

A trickling stream meanders down, birds chirp, and horses are tethered to tree trunks and eat grass.

The group sat around a firewood pile by the stream, on which was a fish on the fire, roasting with oil and fragrant and hooking people's appetites.

You Xue glanced at Aode, who had been muffled and kept his temper, and said to Yun Ze: "Are we going west?

"There's one thing I want to say to you. Yun Ze's expression was very serious, and when he saw that Aode also turned his head to look at him, he continued: "Walk out of this mountain road, there is a Yunlai Town below, and when the time comes, I will arrange for the guards to take you to Paile." ”

Aode, who was originally nervous and thought that Yun Ze was going to send him back to Beichen Kingdom, was overjoyed when he heard this, "Great, let's go to Paile City! I can see Brother Jiulan!" He jumped up happily and ran in the direction of a few horses, looking like an innocent child, where could he see that he was twelve years old.

You Xue saw the gloomy color in Yun Ze's eyes, and asked, "What's the matter? You don't want to go with me to Aunt Qiong to cure your eldest brother?"

"There are more important things," Yun Ze glanced at Qingyang, thought for a while, and said: "Tao Township, which is a township and county under the jurisdiction of Tongguan, has an epidemic, and according to the report, it has begun to spread to several neighboring towns. ”

You Xue was shocked, she slowed down for a long time before she found her voice and asked: "No, you are now fighting a bunch of bad things with internal and external enemies, this is too difficult............" She thought for a while and asked: "Have you investigated and dealt with the source?"

Yun Ze nodded, "It's not clear, it's just that this time the epidemic has been rare for decades, but it happened at this time, and it will take dozens of days to send the message back to the royal capital, except for the power and financial resources of the Flying Eagle Castle to go to help, the garrison cannot be mobilized for the time being." ”

"Where's the doctor?" Hearing Yun Ze say that it was a rare encounter in decades, You Xue was a little skeptical that medical treatment could cure this epidemic in time.

"The local government has arranged for doctors to go, and Lin Zijian is also planning to post a hero post. He frowned and said, "It's just that the northwest land is too barren, and I'm afraid that it will be difficult to supply medicinal materials for a while, so I'm here for this matter." ”

You Xue is not familiar with this place at all, and he doesn't have much right to speak, but he has been taken care of by Yun Ze along the way, and now he can arrange her properly when he is worried about state affairs, and he can't help but say a thing or two.

She scratched her head and began to look around the valley, she saw a lot of practical herbs along the way, and she could temporarily make some for Yun Ze and them to go to the epidemic area for backup, after all, Yun Ze had also taken care of her a lot before, and it was her style to have grace and timely retribution.

And if they passed this boundary and further west, there would not be so many natural resources for them to pick, so she said, "You take care of the grilled fish first, and I'll come when I go!" After saying that, she turned around and ran a few steps, and luck flew away, and soon disappeared into the green shadow.

Qingyang was dumbfounded: "Master, why is she going?"

Yun Ze looked at the direction in which You Xue disappeared and said with a smile: "It should be to collect medicine, but she forgot to bring tools, you go and pack up the baggage, vacate one, and send it to her," he said and pulled out a dagger with a silver scabbard from his waist, "Give this to her, don't let her hurt her hand." ”

The corners of Qingyang's mouth twitched, and he stopped talking, but he still silently and solemnly took the precious relics that the deceased Queen Mother gave to the prince before she died, carefully held it in her arms, and traced the past in the direction where You Xue disappeared.

Aode panted and ran back from not far away, and said excitedly: "Hey, Rui Wang, I'm really suffocating, I have a question I want to ask you, do you know Sister Nanxing?"

Yun Ze leisurely flipped the grilled fish inserted in the long sword, and didn't look at him, and said lightly: "What do you want to say?"

Aode's little black face was full of gossip: "To be honest, you look at her like my father looks at my mother, I didn't like you at first, but now I'm relieved." He looked at Yun Ze with a sneering smile.

Yun Ze chuckled lightly and flicked the firewood: "Oh, what are you relieved about?"

"Because Sister Nanxing is different from my mother, the way she looks at you is no different from looking at others, unlike my mother, her eyes are sweet and make me goosebumps when she looks at my father. Aode gloated and grinned.

Yun Ze's eyebrows moved slightly, and his face was pale: "Actually, the carriage I arranged to go to Paile City can't seat two people, so you should go to Tongguan with me." ”

Aode hugged his chest and said proudly: "I'm not afraid of you threatening me now, hum...... If there is no epidemic in Tongguan, Sister Nanxing will definitely want you to take me away, but now, she will help me!"

Yun Ze finally put down his hand that was flipping the grilled fish, raised his eyes to look at the short Prince Min Le, his star-black eyes flashed with a dangerous light: "Prince Min Le, put away your scheming in the royal family, she is not someone you can use at will." ”

Aode traveled all the way, and he was a little close to the image of the big brother of the King Rui of this ancient land from vigilance to now, but at this time, Yun Ze's sudden outburst of fierce and coercive momentum made him panic for a moment, he swallowed his saliva, took a few steps back and waved his hand and said: "What are you doing? I didn't do anything, why are you suddenly so terrible?"

Suddenly hearing the sound of 'thumping' branches and leaves in his ears, he turned around and ran away and shouted, "Sister Nanxing, Brother Yun is going to beat me!!"

Sure enough, You Xue flew from a treetop and fell to the ground, wrapped in a cloth with a lot of fresh medicinal herbs, Qingyang also followed, the coat had been used to carry a lot of black whisker leaves mixed with red silk, panting over, he had a little appreciation for the woman in front of him, the light work was really good, he asked himself if it was too late!

"Whew......" You Xue ignored Aode's grievances on his face, ran a few steps and threw the medicinal herbs aside, pointed to the big fish that had been burned on the fire rack and shouted: "My God, I smell a burning smell from afar!! you two! Can't you even bake a fish?"

You must know how long she has not smelled meat, she is so frightened that she can't even eat in the Flying Eagle Castle, and now she has been running around for days, not to mention hares, not even mountain rats, and she has eaten those sweet pastries along the way.

Finally, I caught a 'big' fish with an arm length in this creek, and it turned out to be scorched!

She's really going to cry!

Therefore, it is not right for kindness to be rewarded, so she should not have prepared medicinal herbs for them to prevent the epidemic!

In the inn, You Xue was grinding and cleaning up the medicinal materials with medicine while grinding hard, and the tools were all bought by Yun Ze sent Qingyang to Yunlai Town, and some sachets were also prepared to make sachets.

This Yunlai Town is different from what she imagined, although there are many vendors along the street, but the roof ridge is short and dilapidated, and the pedestrians are sparse and numerous, it is too desolate.

It's really that there are too many medical classics in her mind, but they are all theoretical, and her attitude of fishing for two days and drying nets for three days in the nameless village has not been well instructed by Aunt Qiong, and it is really difficult to operate clumsy now.

And the doctor in this town who can be consulted is inferior to her, so it stimulates her competitiveness even more, and she has to do this to stop, and she ignores the hot lunch several times without moving a chopstick.

However, it's not that You Xue is too dedicated and focused, it's just that this meal is really not eye-catching, and it is better to continue to eat those sweet pastries brought out by Flying Eagle Castle to swallow it better, although this one is the best inn in the town, but the musty quilt makes You Xue's cleanliness addict can't avoid it, and she would rather lay on the floor than this bed.

You Xue was a little annoyed that in the nameless village, the simple distillation tools she researched were burned by her brain for a while, and it was too late to do it now, and those ideas hovering in her mind needed to use that set of tools.

Just when she was worried, a figure flickered in front of the window, and You Xue knew that it was the annoying child again, "What do you want to do?"

"Sister," Aode pulled open the door and peeked in, "I noticed something was wrong. ”

You Xue rolled her eyes: "It's you who is wrong, aren't you tired? Don't you go to sleep? Come in if you can't sleep, those dry medicinal materials bought by Brother Qingyang need to be cleaned up, you come and help me, time is too tight!"

Aode walked up to You Xue, squatted down and raised his cheeks and wondered, "Could it be that I'm too fat?"

You Xue was a little dizzy from his headless words, stopped the movements in his hands, and said with his forehead: "May I ask Lord Prince, what's wrong with you? ”

"No, my horse has been listless all the way, and when I entered the town I found that it was tethered in the stable, and I couldn't keep my eyes open. ”

You Xue laughed: "I'm just surprised that you were full of delicious beauties on the street, don't you look at it, staring at your red date horse? ”

Aode finally got angry now, and pouted disdainfully: "This Yunlai Town is desolate like a ghost town, where is the gourmet beauty! Hey, I'm serious, you don't believe it, the sick horse was not happy to cross the mountain road for a while, and he threw me down several times!"

You Xue stopped smiling now, her expression gradually became serious, she thought about it and nodded, "Let's go and have a look." ”
