Previously, Sun Qi went back to tell Sun Ying that Yunyan would take the people of the Daoxu Sect to the border to investigate Zhao Mingsheng's disappearance, and by the way, he would find out the missing Zhao Mingsheng.

Sun Ying was still a little suspicious, thinking that Yun Yan might not have such ability, but now that he got the news that Yun Yan had already taken the people of the Dao Ruins Sect on the road, Sun Ying felt a lot more relieved as if he had taken a reassuring pill.

It's just that when she thought that Sun Yu was likely to be with Zhao Mingsheng, Yunyan successfully brought Zhao Mingsheng back, and she would definitely bring Sun Yu back with her, but she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, after all, for Sun Ying, she didn't want Sun Yu to return to the capital smoothly.

Along the way, Yunyan was very careful, and as soon as the group arrived at the outskirts of the capital, they stopped: "There is a tea shed over there, let's go have a cup of tea before we go." Yunyan was on a horse, and this time she didn't ride in a carriage, because riding a horse was much faster than riding a carriage.

Haoxue and they felt a little strange, from the very beginning, Yunyan emphasized that they must travel day and night in order to reach the border as soon as possible, but now that they have arrived in the suburbs of Beijing, Yunyan actually makes people stop and drink tea?

At this moment, a figure entered Haoxue's line of sight.

"I've seen the Lord of Yunyan." Li Zimo was sitting in the tea shed, and when he saw Yunyan and them coming, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he followed Yunyan and them all the way, but he just overtook the shortcut and came first.

The masters of the Dao Ruins Sect beside Yun Yan naturally knew that Li Zimo was following them, so the moment they saw Li Zimo, they all stood by Yun Yan's side, showing their weapons and looking vigilant.

On the contrary, it was Yunyan, who looked light, she raised her hand to let the others put away their weapons, and then chuckled: "Why is Imperial Chef Li here?" And he followed us all the way, and only now appeared? ”

Li Zimo was slightly stunned, and then laughed: "I really can't hide anything from the county lord, it's nothing, but I heard that the county lord went to the border pass, and now Zimo happens to be on the way, so I want to go together and have a companion." As he spoke, Li Zimo turned to the guards who were looking at him vigilantly: "But these guards around the county lord are really fierce, so Zimo doesn't dare to come forward to speak." ”

Yunyan only smiled: "They were just ordered to protect me, so they were naturally more vigilant." For Li Zimo's words, she only believed half of it, after all, there were too many loopholes, for example, Li Zimo herself would have heard that Yunyan was going to the border pass, but only the people of the Daoxu Sect, Yun Chan and Sun Qi knew about her going to the border pass.

Yun Chan naturally has nothing to do with Li Zimo, as for Sun Qi, even if she is a princess, at most she will tell Sun Ying that Yunyan is going to the border pass, but Sun Ying is just relieved, if you really want to say anything to spread this matter, it is impossible, after all, Sun Qi's feelings for Zhao Mingsheng are there, and she will definitely not disclose Yunyan's news at will, she hopes that Yunyan can save Zhao Mingsheng back.

Roughly Li Zimo also realized that there were some loopholes in what he said, so he was a little embarrassed and said: "I have actually resigned from the errand of the imperial kitchen, and now I am going back to my hometown." ”

Yunyan was stunned for a moment, although Li Zimo was not a very high official position in the palace, he was also a leader among the imperial chefs, and he could enter the eyes of the emperor, if it was a few years later, with Li Zimo's ability, he would definitely be able to reach the highest position in the imperial dining room, but now he suddenly resigned from his errand? !

Seeing Yunyan's shocked appearance, Li Zimo chuckled: "There is a saying since ancient times, accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and when you are on an errand for the emperor in the palace, you always have to be careful, and if you are not careful, you may lose your head, and now the emperor is not in good health, and the taste is becoming more and more tricky, we imperial chefs are worried every day, it is better to take advantage of the emperor's poor health now, and hurry up to resign and return to the hometown." ”

Yunyan thought, now the people in the palace are panicking, and it is true that these errands that seem to be very good have become hot potatoes after the emperor fell ill.

Let's just say that those imperial doctors in the Tai Hospital have been changed several times in a row after the emperor fell ill, and now these are all capable people from the family of heirloom doctors, not only because their own skills are enough, but also because the power of the family is also very strong, so they dare to continue to serve in the palace.

Thinking of this, the shock on Yun Yan's face was much less.

After that, Li Zimo took the initiative to tell Yunyan where his hometown was, Yunyan thought about it and did stop by with them, thinking that if Li Zimo was in a hurry, it would be a little unsafe, Yunyan said: "Since you have met, let's go together, always stop by the way, and there will be a person to take care of." ”

Li Zimo nodded: "Then thank you Yunyan County Lord." ”

After drinking two cups of tea, Yun Yan always thought about going to the border pass earlier, after all, Zhao Mingsheng and Sun Yu were still missing, so he got up directly and said, "Have you rested?" ”

Those people from the Daoxu Sect were all well-trained, and they all stood up and said that they were ready to go.

Haoxue didn't say anything, and went directly to settle all the money for the tea.

After that, a group of people rode away.

Galloping all the way, never stopped, until the sky gradually darkened, the sunset was slanting westward, Yunyan and they finally arrived at a small town, there is a good inn in the town, originally it stands to reason that Yunyan can live in the official post, but now she is out of the capital The matter is also carried out secretly, and she doesn't want to expose her identity, so she has to find an inn to live in first.

As soon as I moved in, it began to rain outside, Yunyan frowned, and someone said to look at the heavenly phenomenon, I am afraid that it will rain in the past two days, but I didn't expect it to be a short time later, and the rain fell directly.

Li Zimo looked at the rain outside, only frowned and said: "This rain is too big, if it is still such a heavy rain tomorrow, I am afraid that it will delay the time of travel."

Yunyan didn't speak, only frowned and watched, but Xiao Er in this inn stepped forward to greet him: "A few guest officers, do you need to prepare dinner for the guest officers?" ”

Haoxue glanced at Yunyan and ordered lightly: "Go and prepare." ”

The sky darkened, and candles were raised in the hall of the inn, but the light was still a little dim, Yunyan was eating, and she looked preoccupied, she was still worried about Zhao Mingsheng.

Li Zimo looked at Yunyan's appearance and knew that it was not suitable to speak now, so he also ate quietly.

Suddenly, the door of the inn was pushed open, and the sound of the rain outside suddenly became very clear, and everyone looked out of the door.

I saw a few black-clothed people standing outside, who seemed to be wearing a robe with a hat, and the sky was already very dark, so it was really a little unclear.

"Damn, this rain will fall as soon as it is said, and Lao Tzu's clothes are soaked." A man scolded and walked out.

Yunyan found out that it was a man and a woman who took the lead and brought some people to the inn, and when those people took off their hats and took them off, she was slightly stunned: "Aunt?!" ”

When the others heard Yunyan calling Auntie, their minds also took their minds off the food, and they stood up directly and saluted respectfully to the woman: "See the sect master's wife!" Then he saluted to the leading man: "See Deputy Mufeng!" ”

It turned out that the people who came were Gu Sanniang, the wife of Yun Daoxu, and Mu Feng, the deputy envoy of the Daoxu Sect, but Yun Yan didn't understand how they could appear here for a while.

"Yunyan," Gu Sanniang handed over the hat and robe she had taken off to her subordinates, and stepped forward to grab Yunyan's hand: "You kid, you walk so fast, but I am tired enough to chase after you." ”

"Why is my aunt here?" Yunyan hurriedly invited Gu Sanniang to sit down at the table: "Running all the way, auntie, let's eat something, it must be raining to warm up first." As he spoke, Yunyan instructed Xiao Er: "Please help us prepare one more table of meals, and then prepare some ginger soup." He also threw a silver ingot at the little two.

Xiao Er's eyes lit up when he saw the silver, and he quickly nodded again and again: "I'll do it." ”

"I'm relieved to catch up with you," Gu Sanniang said, took a bowl of hot soup handed by Yunyan, and began to drink it in small sips.

"Did my aunt come to chase us on purpose?" Gu Sanniang seemed to have some task before, so she didn't follow Yundaoxu to the capital, but now that she appeared here, Yunyan felt that it was probably an order from Yundaoxu.

Sure enough, Gu Sanniang heard Yunyan's question, and slowly put down the soup bowl in her hand: "I did come to chase you on purpose, I just arrived in the capital, and the head of the house asked me to chase you with these good hands, just saying that the border is dangerous, and maybe something will happen along the way, if we are by your side, he can feel more at ease."

Yun Yan was slightly stunned, originally she thought that Yun Daoxu would be angry because she insisted on going to the border to find Zhao Mingsheng, after all, even if she was a person from the Dao Ruins Sect, Yun Daoxu didn't come out to send her when she left, but she just told Hao Xue at random the day before, asking Hao Xue to take good care of Yun Yan.

Thinking of this, Yun Yan's heart warmed, it seemed that Yun Daoxu still cared about her very much, otherwise she would not have let Gu Sanniang come here directly without stopping.

"Auntie has worked hard, I will ask Xiao Er to help prepare some hot water, soak in a hot bath to relieve fatigue and sleep again, it will definitely relieve some fatigue." Yunyan said, and added some dishes to Gu Sanniang's bowl.

After that, Gu Sanniang rested at the inn for a night under Yunyan's arrangement.

It's just that on the second day, it was still raining heavily, Yunyan thought about it and decided to brave the rain to move forward, but fortunately, they all prepared all the hats and arrived at the next landing point before dark.

On the road after that, Gu Sanniang took care of Yunyan very much, and she could take care of Yunyan in every detail, she was a childless woman, and when she saw Yunyan, she felt that this child was sensible and kind, and she was treated like a daughter with sincerity.
