On this day, the sun was shining, the sky was clear, and the sky was cloudless.

On a big boat, Minglan stood on the bed armor, looking at the distant mountains, the emerald green barrier, like bamboo shoots, reflected in the water, the water and the sky were the same color.

The breeze blows up the clothes, sending wisps of fragrance, making people intoxicated by the mountains and rivers, lingering.

Behind him, Bizhu and Sydney and Si'er were full of interest in grilled fish, the fish fragrance was bursting, and the gluttonous insects in the abdomen of the hook were tumbling, and they were full of mouth.

Not only grilled fish, but also barbecued meat and vegetables, in the past, Sydney lived on the boat with Minglan for a period of time, and ate a lot of grilled fish, Si'er didn't have it, no less envy, I didn't expect her to try it, or on the walking boat, looking at the beautiful scenery and eating grilled fish, there is nothing more happier than this.

"Princess, you taste the roasted by the slave maid," Si'er said happily.

Minglan turned around, sat on the small stool, Si'er brought the grilled fish over with a plate, Minglan took a little with chopsticks, tasted it, and nodded, "It tastes good." ”

Si'er happily turned around and nodded at Sydney, she said yes, she is talented, and she will look at it.

Turning around and sitting back to continue roasting, Si'er looked at the white pigeon in the sky, she swallowed and said, "Roasted pigeon tastes good." ”

She looked at the guard, apparently asking him to catch the pigeon and roast it for her.

The corner of the secret guard's mouth twitched, the princess's maid was more greedy than the other, that was whether the carrier pigeon was good or not, and even the idea of the carrier pigeon dared to fight.

However, the prince and the princess have been away from Beijing for more than 20 days, and it is the first time they have seen carrier pigeons, so it is better not to see something happened in Kyoto.

The secret guard whistled a few times with his hand, and the carrier pigeon that wandered around the sky a few times swooped down, and the frightened Si'er was discolored, thinking that the carrier pigeon knew her idea of hitting it, and flew towards her, and she fell to the ground in fright, and the carrier pigeon lifted up and landed on the shoulder of the dark guard.

The secret guard took down the letter tied to the pigeon's feet, threw the pigeon into the air, and saw Chu Li coming over there, and handed the bamboo tube over.

Chu Li took the bamboo tube, took out the letter and looked at it twice, his good-looking brows twisted, and Minglan said when he saw it, "What's wrong?"

Chu Li handed the letter to Ming Lan and said, "The emperor gave the marriage of Lord Ning to Young Master Feng. ”

Minglan's eyes widened a little, and when she looked at the letter, it was indeed written about the emperor's marriage, she looked at Chu Li and said, "Didn't you ask the third young master Chu if he liked Lord Ning?"

When he went to King Ning's Mansion that day, Ming Lan remembered his previous life and specially reminded Chu Li, with his devotion to the Third Young Master Chu, he should not forget it, Chu Li said, "I asked him in front of Feng Ze." ”

To be precise, Chu Li didn't ask, but directly advised, and he said to the third young master of Chu, "If you like Lord Ning, you will come to the door to propose marriage." ”

At that time, Young Master Feng was there, but Third Young Master Chu said lazily, "Big brother, do you think I will like such a stupid and stupid girl as Lord Ning?"

Chu Li didn't have much contact with Lord Ning, and he didn't know what kind of girl the Third Young Master Chu would like, the marriage was a big matter, he should have made up his own mind, Minglan told him to remind him, he reminded him, as for whether the Third Young Master Chu would come to the door to propose marriage, after Chu Li reminded him, it was not good to urge him again and again, he didn't think that Third Young Master Chu was such a passive person.

This letter, it's just that the secret guard remembers that Chu Li once asked the third young master of Chu, and now the lord of Ning County has fallen on the mansion of the eldest young master Feng, and the secret guard sent a letter to inform him, there is no other meaning, the other is to report safety, the princess and the Marquis of Jingning's mansion are all right.

Ming Lan looked at this letter, and couldn't figure out what Third Young Master Chu wanted to do, could it be that she guessed wrong, Third Young Master Chu didn't have a good impression of Lord Ning, but Lord Ning simply loved him?

Minglan returned the letter to Chu Li, if they were in Kyoto, they might be able to help a little, they are now hundreds of miles away from Kyoto, and they have enough spare energy.

They traveled on the ship for five days, and at noon they went ashore.

They were not in a hurry to dare to go to Cheongju, thinking that the ship was not well fed, so they stopped for two more days, and they lived in a small courtyard for these two days, and Minglan didn't mention the matter of staying at the inn again.

Two days later, they made a detour to Chongzhou and asked Yuque to help cut the iron ore and help the prince's people forge weapons.

There is a beautiful scenery nearby, Chu Li also made a special trip to take Minglan to play, delayed for a day in the east, and played for a day in the west, and most of the month passed.

However, it is a little bit of a road every day, and it is only a hundred miles away from Cheongju.

On this day, as soon as they entered the small courtyard, a black-clothed secret guard greeted them and saluted, "My subordinates have seen the prince and the princess." ”

Chu Li helped Minglan forward and asked, "How is the situation in Qingzhou?"

The secret guard replied, "The subordinates checked in Qingzhou, there is a force in Qingzhou that is not weak, but there seems to be no malice, the subordinates secretly investigated, they found the subordinates, but they were not embarrassed, the subordinates wanted to climb the Qingzhou Snow Mountain to see what was going on, but the subordinates couldn't climb up anyway, and the other brother climbed halfway, fell from above, broke his leg, and was still recuperating from his injuries." ”

Chu Feng was surprised when he heard this, "Even you can't climb the snow mountain?"

The dark guard's martial arts are not weak, far better than ordinary people, even the dark guard can't climb up, and there are only a handful of people who can go up.

The dark guard nodded, not only could he not climb up, but the wind of the snow-capped mountain was bitingly cold, and the dagger capital with iron like mud could not be inserted into the snowy mountain, and it was precisely because he could only insert it a little bit and could not bear the weight of the dark guard, so he fell down.

The snow-capped mountains are difficult to walk, and pedestrians stop.

Although the dark guard had never climbed any snow-capped mountains, his intuition told him that the snow-capped mountains in Cheongju were different from other places, and it seemed that it was more difficult to melt away.

Minglan glanced at Chu Li, she thought of the eight words about the legend of the Snow Mountain, such a mysterious place is indeed not something that ordinary people can go to.

But the dark guard can't climb up, how can she go up?

It's not going to use her heart's work, right?

She couldn't burn such a snowy mountain with no effort.

Minglan shrugged his shoulders and put this matter behind him, since the Beiliang National Master asked them to come, there must be a way to send them up.

The dark guard continued, "Fifty miles ahead is a wilderness, the road is bumpy and difficult to walk, and the princess is pregnant, so I'm afraid I can't go. ”

Minglan listened, "Then what should I do, we will make a date with the Northern Liang National Division, and we will go to Qingzhou to fight him in a few days." ”

"Sit in a sedan chair," Chu said.

……

After resting for one night, there was a spacious sedan chair in the courtyard the next day, the maid sat in the carriage, Chu Li and the guards rode horses, and the secret guards took turns to carry the sedan chair.

A hundred miles of road, usually two days in the carriage is enough, but in a sedan chair, Minglan stubbornly bumped in the carriage for three or four days, she can say that a few maids are upside down in the carriage, the five organs are upside down, the face is pale, and finally can't bear it, so she just got down and followed the soft sedan car intermittently for dozens of miles.
