The four of them continued to walk forward. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAccording to the real outside world, to the north, is Zhanggun, which is adjacent to Donggun.

"In front of you is the boundary between Dongjun and Zhangjun. Changming said.

When they reached the location of the boundary marker, they saw that the air above the boundary pillar seemed to be unusually turbid, like frozen dirty water.

The four men stopped. "Is the boundary between the two places like this?" Qingran pointed to the ice plate-like air in front of him. Chang Ming and Qing Yao looked at the princess at the same time.

The princess reflected the air in front of her in Zimo's eyes, did not speak, and silently walked through the turbid boundary.

Entering the range of Zhangjun, the four of them obviously felt that the atmosphere around them was different from that of Dongjun, what kind of atmosphere was it-it was anger. In this season, although the flowers are falling, the mountains are still full of bright life, dense grass and dense forests, birds and insects chirping.

"It's just that the gap between the two sides is too big. "I've been staying in Dongjun, even if I know that there is a problem, but I don't feel obvious, when I enter Zhangjun, compared to the two, Dongjun is really cold and quiet.

"That's where the problem comes in. Yu Zimo said faintly.

"Why is this happening?" asked Qingran, could it be a force of nature.

"Someone has done something at the boundary," Yu Zimo replied, "The boundary river in the two places should be in the same vein, just like the river, and it will not flow into the Shang country because it originates in the Xin country." And now it is clear that someone has blocked the river to East County, leaving it isolated. ”

Damn the river?"

"Flowing water is raw water, and unflowing water is stagnant water. Without communication with the outside world, Dongjun will be like stagnant stagnant water, which will slowly evaporate, decay, and finally die of despair. ”

Yu Zimo's tone was heavy.

"What should I do then?" Although he didn't want to assume the status of a prince, even as an ordinary person in the Shang Kingdom, he would be worried when he knew that such a thing had happened. The river does not choose its own path, let alone self-destruct, it must be caused by external forces.

"Who has such an ability?" Qing Yao was surprised.

"If you can have such power, I'm afraid it's not human. Changming looked back at Dongjun and felt that things were weird.

"Whether it's a man or a ghost, we have to find him. Yu Zimo said. "Princess, what are we going to do next. Do you want to keep going?" asked Qing Yao.

"Let's go back first. Yu Zimo reflexively walked back.

"Go back, don't continue the investigation?" Fei came in so hard that things had some clue, so he went back?

"The entrance opened with dew doesn't last long. ”

"Isn't there anything here for us to ask?"

"Do you think they're pets, they're everywhere, they're always available. If that's the case, I just need to sit at home, why bother running around. ”

Yu Zimo's heart is very heavy, and her whole body will be affected by a single hair, if something happens in one place in Dongjun, it will affect the entire living spirit world, and that is what she is worried about.

……

The four of them returned to their place, their own bodies above their heads. Yu Zimo asked a few people to close their eyes. Another feeling of emptiness. When they opened their eyes, their consciousness had returned to their bodies. Although they have returned to the real world, Changming and the others still have an illusory feeling.

Yu Zimo's white horse Changyue saw that the master was back, let out a pleasant neigh, walked to Yu Zimo's side, and rubbed Yu Zimo with his neck.

"Worries you. Yu Zimo gently stroked Changyue.

"What should we do next?" asked Qingran. Now that we know that there is a problem with the boundary river, how to solve it.

"Find the one who started it. Yu Zimo said, "At the same time, we also have to find out if there are other places where the same problem occurs here." "If it's just this place in East County, it's simpler.

Qingran nodded silently, she understood what Yu Zimo meant.

"This matter should not be publicized, and it is best to investigate it secretly. ”

"Good. He replied neatly.

"Let's go back. ”

……

Four men, four horses, galloping like the wind.

At noon, when the sun was slightly westward, they returned to their lodgings. As soon as Yu Zimo and the others entered the door, the guards reported to the princess Yu Zimo, and the official slave named Lu Ye had been standing outside, waiting for the princess to come back.

"Let him in. Yu Zimo said to the guards. She asked Qing Yao and Chang Ming to go down to rest first, and then entered the house with Qing Ran.

I ran outside for most of the day, covered in dust. Yu Zimo changed into a lilac silk dress, and the skirt was embroidered with gold thread with tangled flowers.

She changed her clothes, and the guards brought Lu with her.

"You wait for me, is there something wrong?"

Lu also smiled slightly, "Princess, we have finished repairing the courtyard wall. I don't know if you're satisfied. ”

"I've seen it, you're doing a good job. When she returned, she saw that the courtyard wall had been completed, and the officials and slaves in charge of the courtyard wall had been removed, and she thought that Lu had also returned.

"Thank you, Princess. ”

"You're waiting for me to do this?"

"It's my pleasure to do things for the princess, and I just want to make her happy. ”

Lu Ye's words were sincere. Yu Zimo nodded, "I said, if you can repair this courtyard wall well, I will restore your status as a civilian." From today onwards, you are no longer an official slave, you are free. ”

In the Shang country, once you become an official slave, it is difficult to restore the status of ordinary people. Yu Zimo's words made Lu also easily change the status and identity of the official slave, and he must be ecstatic and grateful to Dade if he changed to an ordinary official slave. But Lu also listened to it, but he was not excited, and he was not grateful.

"Why? You don't want to?"

"Yes. Lu also said.

Yu Zimo smiled, and Lu Ye's reaction did not surprise her. "Why?" she asked leisurely.

"If the status of an official slave allows me to stay with the princess, I would rather be an official slave. Lu also looked directly at Princess Yu Zimo.

Yu Zimo smiled again, and did not blame Lu Ye for his slightly unreasonable actions, "Since I said that if you want to restore your status as a civilian, you can't change it." She said majestically, "If you want to stay with me, I can let you be a guard in my mansion after you resume your civilian status." ”

Lu also listened, and his little eyes lit up. "Lu also thanked the princess. ”

Yu Zimo waved his hand, "I will explain, from now on, you will no longer be an official slave." You go and change into the guard's clothes, and then come to me, I just have something for you to do. ”

……

"Do you want him to help investigate the affairs of the boundary river?" After Lu Ye left, Qing Ran, who had been sitting in the house, asked Yu Zimo.

"This Lu also has a good mind, good observation and action, is a talent, and is also very interesting. With him, things may be twice as effective with half the effort. Yu Zimo squinted his eyes, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he looked playful.

"Can you trust it?" Qing Ran was a little worried, Yu Zimo said that this matter should not be publicized, and his hunter's intuition also told him that things were not simple. Although Lu also saved him, he didn't know much about this Lu. Besides, he acts uninhibitedly, and his actions are unpredictable, can he be trusted?

"Don't worry, he is just cynical on the surface, but he does have the ability on the inside, and he will be of great use in the future. Yu Zimo said with deep meaning and with great certainty.

Qingran didn't expect Yu Zimo to have such a high opinion of Lu.

……

Lu Ye, who was dressed as a guard, had a tall posture and a white complexion, and he was handsome with a hint of heroism. He came back to see Zimo again.

"The princess has something to do. Lu also asked Yu Zimo, who was sitting at the table, happily.

"Remember the trees and grass I brought back from hunting?"

"Yes. Lu also replied.

"I want you to investigate whether there is a similar situation in Shangguo other than in the territory of Dongjun. ”

"Does the princess suspect that the matter is only for the prince's Dongjun?" Lu also blinked.

"Skepticism can't be talked about, let's figure it out first. ”

Lu also understood. ”

"It's going to be done in secret, and I don't want anyone else to know. Yu Zimo said.

"The princess is relieved. Lu also looked confident.
