The person in front of him was a life-saving benefactor, and Qi Yunshu was curious about his identity, so he stepped forward to talk very enthusiastically.

"It's really a coincidence, does Childe also live in the hotel? That's a good sight, I've heard that this inn is the most famous place in the area! ”

"Yes, that's right!" The brown boy smiled brightly, and seeing her again made him change his mind in an instant, and he decided to change to a hotel!

A glance passed, and the entourage who followed him gave Xiao Er an answer: "We live in a hotel, the best guest room!" ”

"Hey, come to Luo, one upper room, Tianzi No. 5 room!" The shopkeeper put the white towel on his shoulder and shouted at the counter.

Seeing them go upstairs into the room, Qi Yunshu looked at Bowen, only to see this middle-aged man who seemed calm and comfortable in the past, but at this time he was standing aside with a frown.

"Uncle Wen knows who he is?" Qi Yunshu's heart froze, and this idea jumped out of his mind.

Bowen opened his mouth, quietly glanced upstairs, and brought her into the room before lowering his voice and whispering: "That's the third prince of the dynasty!" ”

Qi Yunshu was taken aback, Liang Yibai, the third prince of the dynasty, was basically a rumored figure in the capital.

It is said that he fought and won nine out of ten battles, so the label attached to the three princes is the god of war, the victorious general, and the like.

However, these are all circulated to the outside people, but what Qi Yunshu learned from the magpie before is that the third prince is too bold and high-profile because he has been in the army for a long time, which makes people feel that they have a high self-esteem and are not easy to get along with, or a somewhat impulsive martial artist!

But these are all said by others, Qi Yunshu can still believe a sentence or two before he sees him, but since he saw the real person of the third prince, the matter of the god of war has not yet been known, but no matter how she looks at him, he doesn't look like a martial artist, he knows etiquette and etiquette, and he will fight unevenly, and he speaks politely, quite like a son of a family.

It's not bad with those aristocratic sons in the capital who consciously come from scholarly families!

However, this is only the impression of Qi Yunshu when they first met, it is difficult to say what the truth is, after all, everyone in the world wears masks, and if you are not familiar with it, you can't see the real temperament.

"Uncle Wen knows him, but he is a little afraid of him, but I see that he seems to be very kind!" Qi Yunshu was a little strange, it seemed that Bowen was very familiar with him, but he deliberately stayed away, as if he was afraid of him.

"The young grandmother doesn't know, the old man doesn't look down on the third prince, and the second young master in the house has too close contacts with the second prince, so the old lady warned the family not to get too close to the third prince, otherwise there will be a suspicion of forming a party and not taking a firm position!" Bowen saw Qi Yunshu's good impression of the third prince, and reminded him repeatedly.

It means that the Zhao Mansion has already chosen the second prince in the future battle for the crown prince, so it is bound to stay away from the third prince, otherwise it will give people the impression that the two sides are swaying and their positions are not firm.

Qi Yunshu frowned and didn't speak again, but he was muttering in his heart, what made them think that the second prince was sure to succeed to the throne?

"Young grandma doesn't have to be entangled, in fact, it was not the master's intention to choose the second prince, it's just that the Zhao Mansion and the Ning Mansion behind the third prince have always had political disagreements, and there is no way to do it!"

This matter is related to the Ning Mansion of the Three Princes' Mother, Qi Yunshu doesn't know much about it, so she can't say anything, so she can only secretly warn herself, no matter what, follow what Bowen said first, after all, she is not here to cause trouble, but to help!

Thinking of this, Qi Yunshu mentioned her previous encounter with the Hu family, as well as the clues mentioned by Shushu, and asked him to immediately investigate the authenticity of this matter.

There is also a focus on inquiring about Zhao Jing's whereabouts, she speculated that this matter may be inseparable from the local prefect Liu Pingzhong, and of course, the most important thing is to find out why the third prince suddenly appeared in Chuzhou after staying well in Western Xinjiang.

Bowen hurriedly responded, even if Qi Yunshu didn't order, he would go to investigate!

The conditions of Yuexin Inn are good, although it is not near the river, but it lives on the second floor, you can overlook the Huitong River from afar, and see the busy crowd on the river at this time.

Under the smoke, Qi Yunshu saw the three mountains she had seen before, and at this time, the mist under the sunset was even whiter, and the corner of the house before was also hidden in it, so that she couldn't see anything!

However, with her vague memory, Qi Yunshu still traced its shape in the thick fog, and she imagined what kind of person would live in such a fairy land!

The next day, Bowen came over to report what he had found the previous night.

"I already heard about it at night, but I thought that the young grandmother was tired of traveling all the way, so I didn't dare to disturb at will, so I dragged it over at this moment, and I hope the young grandmother will forgive me!" Bowen bowed his hand and said a lot of words, not half of the important words, but a lot of boring and irrelevant things.

Qi Yunshu directly stated that it was nothing, and motioned him to go straight to the point.

"It was found out that the third prince came because Ning Zhiping, the imperial envoy of Caoyun here, was his mother's cousin, and he became the main person in charge of the official ship rollover accident three months ago and was arrested and imprisoned.

The third prince was edicted to enter Beijing because of his long birthday, and when he heard about it, he got rid of the surveillance of the capital and came here to investigate, presumably to rescue Imperial Envoy Ning! ”

Qi Yunshu nodded, the intention of the three princes had been revealed, and there was no major conflict with their trip, she breathed a sigh of relief, no matter how Bowen persuaded and reminded her before, she subconsciously didn't want to go against a character like the third prince!

"Is it true that the river god wants to devour unmarried girls?" Qi Yunshu put aside the doubts about the matter of the three princes, and immediately asked what the Hu family said.

Bowen hesitated, sighed and talked about a past.

This matter has a long history in Chuzhou, Chuzhou is close to the big river, and the river water will be connected to the river before the previous dynasty has not been governed, and there are often floods, so a woman surnamed Hua jumped out and said that she is the river god woman, and she can communicate with the river god 1 spirit.

If the people want to be able to pass the river and wait for them to get out of the net to fish, or to get through the boat smoothly, then only by putting young unmarried girls when the river god is angry can they be calmed down.

At that time, no one believed this, but the mother-in-law surnamed Hua threw her thirteen-year-old daughter into it, and the terrifying waves of the Huitong River that day quickly subsided, and this was a success.

Since then, this custom has been passed down in this way.

But in fact, it is often not very effective, but they generally vote for one if it doesn't work, they will vote for two, and if two can't, they will vote for three, until they vote for the river god and don't get angry!

But after the fall of the previous dynasty, no one mentioned this matter anymore, because the emperor of the Great Liang Dynasty attached great importance to water conservancy and river transportation, and spent a lot of time, manpower, and money on this at the beginning of the imperial court to build a dam and dredge the downstream river.

So there was no such vulgarity.

But after the last official boat overturned accident, this matter was mentioned again, and there was also a woman surnamed Hua, who claimed to be the descendant of the first river goddess, and could also communicate with the river god.

Therefore, dozens or even hundreds of girls will be thrown into the river.

Qi Yunshu was stunned when she heard it: "That's the case, there are really a lot of ignorant people in this world, in fact, those people probably know that there is no river god in the river, and the so-called river god is angry, but it is just a natural phenomenon, an illusion made by being artificially coerced with some interests." ”

The more Bowen heard her say, the more outrageous it became, although he knew the reason and reasoned, but he couldn't help but believe what the river god said, he advised Qi Yunshu to remember to be cautious, the river god said that it was very famous near the Huitong River.

Just because there is a large river temple built among the three mountains on the other side of the Huitong River, you can know a thing or two!

Qi Yunshu exclaimed: "Then the opposite side is the River Temple?" ”

Bowen nodded, saying that there was a temple on it, and there was also a private manor Yunhu Villa that I had told her about last time.

The common people in the temple can go, but those manors are not allowed to enter without invitation.

Qi Yunshu had long been curious, and when he heard him say this, he couldn't help but want to explore further.

Seeing that she was full of interest, Bowen couldn't help but pour cold water on her, saying that if she wanted to go, it would be nothing, but in the river temple, but you must remember to be cautious, it seems that there was no river god just now, but someone with a heart deliberately fooled people.

Qi Yunshu is not stupid, in that case, it's just that the room is full of her own people, so she will say it, can she also say it in front of others, for fear of being well-read and thinking too much, she promised not to say it in public.

After breakfast, it was another good weather, although the autumn day was a little cool, but the sun still rose, and the warm sun washed away the chill remaining in the air.

Qi Yunshu looked at the railing, thinking that Zhao Jing's matter was not in a hurry, if she impulsively smashed the prefect's yamen dignitaries, she was afraid that even she would lose money, so she decided to beat the side drum.

Anyway, let's get things straight! And the river temple she thinks is worth visiting!

After she tidied up, she took the magpie and Bowen out with her.

The river temple is in the middle of the three mountains, although it is called the three mountains, but in fact it is still one, collectively referred to as the Yunzhong Mountain, there are three peaks in the middle, the foot of the mountain and the mountainside are the same, climb up to divide into three peaks, the river temple is located at the foot of the mountain in the middle of the three mountains.

They lived on the other side of the river, and if they wanted to get there, they had to take a boat and walk up the stone-paved path.

When she got on the boat, Qi Yunshu's heart moved, and she vaguely felt that someone seemed to be watching her.

But at that time, there were people coming and going on the dock, and it seemed that it was nothing to be stared at a few times, so she didn't take it to heart.

But after getting off the boat, there were not as many pedestrians on the road as on the dock, but she still felt like she was being watched.

It's just that she looked around several times and didn't see anyone, so she had to suppress her doubts and follow the knowledgeable who asked for the way to the foot of the mountain to the east.

It's still early, but the closer you get to the temple of the river, the more people come, most of them from the villages near the river to pray for safety.

But among the many crowds, Qi Yunshu still saw a brown figure not far in front of her at a glance.

It's him again, the Three Princes.

"Eh, the girl also came to the River Temple, what a coincidence!" The three princes looked at Qi Yunshu, a flash of speculation flashed in their eyes, and Qi Yunshu sensed that the three princes seemed to be suspicious of something.

Do you think she's stalking him, and she's here to slap him?

Such a conjecture rose, she suddenly shook her head, feeling a little funny, in fact, she was still wondering if the third prince was deliberately following her!

"I came here to play, and I heard that the river temple is the most famous place on the bank of the Huitong River, and I came to visit!" Qi Yunshu remembered that he had saved her once last time, and explained lightly.

"You were injured yesterday, why can't you rest today?" The third prince glanced over her shoulder.

Under the lake blue long skirt, her figure is delicate, her jade shoulders are like a cut, and then she has a slender waist like a willow, and she is really beautiful.

Even though he was used to seeing beauties, he couldn't help but look at them twice.

If such a beauty has ill intentions towards him, it will be a disaster, but if it is really a coincidence, it is better to be careful to stare at it, for fear that she will be too eye-catching and will provoke the wolf!

"The injury is no longer serious, thank you Gongzi!" Qi Yunshufu saluted, and then said that he was still in a hurry to visit, so he didn't bother him.

The third prince nodded and turned sideways and asked her to go first, but for some reason there was one more sentence: "This river temple looks calm, but sometimes the waves are often hidden under the calm, if there is something, you can find me!" ”

Qi Yunshu didn't react to his reminder a little, but it didn't sound like a bad word, she thanked her politely and quickly let it go with the wind.

When the group of three walked to the foot of the mountain, they saw a building that could reach into the sky.

Encountering the third prince did not make Qi Yunshu raise her vigilance, but relaxed, originally she had always felt that someone was spying on their whereabouts, and she was worried that someone was deliberately tracking them.

But now she felt that that person was very likely to be the Third Prince.

Although they are not on the same front, according to their current situation in Chuzhou, they are not far behind. Deliberately being an enemy is unlikely.

This is right, but Qi Yunshu didn't know at this time that her negligence almost caused a catastrophe!

The scenery of the river temple is good, one side is against the mountain, one side is near the lake, you can not only enjoy the red leaves in the mountain, see the dyeing of the forest, but also enjoy the river scenery, see the hundred boats and thousands of streams, and the thousands of sails are exhausted.

The incense in the temple is very vigorous, and the smoke emitted by the incense is mixed with the water mist to shroud it in a hazy and hazy mood.

Qi Yunshu simply walked around it and found that the front hall of the river temple was not big, and it was dedicated to the river god and many shrimp soldiers and crab generals under him, and there was nothing else.

The backyard is very large, covering an area of more than four acres wide, and there are many attics in it, which are said to be the residence of the river goddess with her men and the people who take care of the temple.

Qi Yunshu was curious about the layout inside and wanted to go in to take a look, but was stopped by a middle-aged woman wearing a hundred clothes and stepping on a hundred shoes, and said that it was a retreat place for lay people, and idlers should not enter!

Qi Yunshu probably took a look outside, and saw that the interior was exquisitely decorated, very elegant, and there were bamboo groves in the continuous buildings, peach forests, and various flowers and trees, which could ensure that they were evergreen in all seasons.

But if you want to look more, there is only a wall of light standing tall and blocking everything.

"Go, go, go, if you disturb the retreat of the laymen, the river god will also be angry!" The mother-in-law who guarded the door saw that Qi Yunshu couldn't move her eyes from looking inside, so she quickly tore off all the half-open curtains, and used her fat body to stand between the two curtains, blocking Qi Yunshu's vision firmly.

Qi Yunshu knew that it would be useless to grind any longer, so she had to leave, but for some reason she had firmly memorized this place in her heart.

There is a big meaning that the more you don't let me watch, the more I want to watch!

Bowen knew that she was thinking of inquiry, and hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "Young grandma, on other people's territory, let's be careful, I see that there is something unusual here!" ”

He turned his eyes as he spoke, and gestured to Qi Yunshu with casual eyes: "There are a few idlers there who seem to have been staring at us for a long time, I think the third prince's previous words are probably not untargeted!" ”

Qi Yunshu also felt uncomfortable when she said this, originally she thought that the staring eye was the third prince, but now it seems that it is not him, who will it be, since they got on the boat, they have been staring at them since they got on the boat!

"Young grandma, for the sake of safety, it's better to get out of here quickly!" UBM is reluctant to take risks.

Just as Qi Yunshu was about to nod in agreement, he suddenly heard the commotion around him.

When I asked, I learned that the river goddess appeared today to give a lecture in person, this is a good opportunity only once a month, and in the past, there would never be such treatment in any case!

As soon as the news came out, all the people flocked to get the futon, wanting to take a good place in the square in front of the main hall of the temple.

Qi Yunshu was thinking about leaving, and when he was squeezed in, he looked up and saw a soft sedan chair carried by four people from the curtain of the backyard, on which sat a woman wearing a black veil from head to toe.

She suddenly became a little curious, what kind of person is this river goddess, who threw so many young girls to the river to feed Wang Ba, and can still be so sought after......

This hesitation missed the best time to leave, and everyone sat up, and the three of them were still standing in the middle of the field, which seemed extremely abrupt.

Bowen sighed, quietly took three futons, and knelt on them to listen to the scriptures as the people around him.
