Xiao Yan was already waiting at the North City Gate, and Yang Minzhi was also waiting at the North City Gate with Xiao Yan.

Yang Minzhi is still pale and thin, riding on a horse, there is always a feeling that he is about to fall off the horse. He Jingying worried: "Minzhi, you are tired of running around on the road, can you stand it?" Why don't you wait for us in the palace? ”

Yang Minzhi asked rhetorically: "Is the princess looking down on me?" ”

He Jingying hurriedly shook her head: "Minzhi, you know I didn't mean that. ”

Yang Minzhi smiled noncommittally: "Princess, the witch Gu in Shu is prevalent, and there are some things I can help with." Yang Minzhi looked up at Xiao Yan: "What's more, with the ghost-faced Langjun here, Xiao Yunying will definitely not let him follow us alone." One more person, the better our chances of winning. ”

He Jingying glanced at Xiao Yan from a distance and said strangely: "How do I feel that the ghost-faced Langjun is a little different from what I saw that night?" ”

"You mean that you were looking for Fusang Pei at the mass grave that night, isn't it really a ghost-faced Langjun?" Xiao Lian also walked up at this time.

He Jingying shook her head: "No, the body shape and appearance are the same as the half of the face that the ghost face is not covered." It's just that the ghost-faced Langjun that night was a little sick, not as tough as today. ”

While she was talking, a woman in a scarlet jacket rode towards He Jingying. "Sister A-Ying!"

He Jingying looked back and saw that it was Yuan Geyu, who she hadn't seen for a long time. Xiao Zilun rode a horse and followed Yuan Geyu slowly.

"Concubine, Yunzong, why are you here?"

Xiao Zilun smiled and said, "I heard that you are going to the ghost domain to find the ghost orchid for your father." Anyway, I can't help much in the palace, so I might as well go with you. ”

"Yun Zong, there are many dangers in going to the ghost realm, but it's not a joke. You just take Princess Changle with you, in case something happens......"

Yuan Geyu pursed her lips dissatisfiedly: "Why can Sister A-Ying go, but I can't go?" After that, Yuan Geyu learned a few bird calls to the sky, and sure enough, a small bird flew and stopped on her arm. Yuan Geyu looked at Xiao Lian proudly and said, "When I was in the Wei Kingdom, I learned some from the beast tamers from the border. There are many beasts in the mountains and forests in Yizhou, and I may be able to help. ”

Xiao Lian looked at Xiao Zilun, and saw Xiao Zilun smiling dotingly, as if he had made up his mind to take Yuan Geyu with him. Although Xiao Lian felt in his heart that Xiao Zilun's favorite wife was a little indiscriminate, he could only reluctantly agree.

Under the recommendation of He Jingying, Xiao Yan, Cao Jingzhao, Qi Zhen, Xiao Zilun, Yuan Geyu and Yang Minzhi knew each other. A group of eight people set off towards the outside of the city.

There are few people on the official road, not as lively as the city, and yesterday's snow has not melted on the official road. The snow is deep enough to cover the horses' hooves. The birds flew in the air, and it seemed that only black and white were left between the sky and the earth. The eight of them hurried all the way and finally arrived at the post station in the evening.

The post station is backed by mountains and forests, and in front of it is an official road where people come and go. In the past, it was also a lively place for merchants to come and go, but just after Chinese New Year's Eve, the post house was empty, and there was not much wine and food prepared. The eight of them could only hastily eat a bowl of Yangchun noodles and a plate of peanuts and rice.

In the courtyard, Xiao Lian brought a handful of hay and put it in the manger, Xiao Zilun asked quietly: "Law body, what is going on with this ghost domain?" ”

"How much do you know about the legends of the Ghost Domain?" Xiao Lian asked.

"Ghost Domain Yin Soldiers?"

Xiao Lian nodded: "This time, Xiao Wuyu should be going towards the Yin soldiers." Ghost Orchid is nothing more than a front. ”

"Since you know it's a fraud, you're still going?"

Xiao Lian raised his eyebrows: "Can I not go?" If I don't go, the charge of disloyalty, filial piety and injustice will be planted on my head immediately, not to mention that if there is something really wrong with the emperor's grandfather, will Xiao Yunying let me go? ”

Xiao Zilun nodded: "That's right, there is still a fifth brother who can share some edges." Although the fifth brother has the Anxi army, he is weak-fledged in the DPRK after all. If something happens to your father, your eldest son's name is more feared than his Anxi army. ”

Xiao Zilun looked back, in front of the window on the second floor of the post station, Xiao Yanwen drank a pot of wine alone. Xiao Zilun asked, "What do you think of this Xiao Gongzi?" ”

The corners of Xiao Lian's mouth were slightly raised: "It's a person or a ghost, don't you know if you go together?" ”

Xiao Zilun frowned and said, "Aren't you afraid that he will set up some ambushes?" ”

Xiao Lian said sharply: "You obviously thought that he might have an ambush, why did you still rush up?" You think you're dead, don't you? ”

"I'm also a prince, and he always thinks about it when he starts to do it."

"You were sent to the door as a meat shield?"

"I can't say that, I released the news before I left the city, and now the whole city knows that I went with you to find the ghost orchid for the emperor."

"What if you know?" Xiao Lian said angrily: "This trick I used when I went to Yongzhou before, I was almost forced to jump off the cliff by Xiao Yunchang. If it weren't for Yang Minzhi's prediction that they would be in trouble in Yongzhou and informed He Yin and Zhou Fengshu, he might have been a white bone under the cliff by now.

Xiao Zilun said: "Law body, you forgot about someone. ”

"Who?"

"Fifth brother."

"Xiao Yun?" Xiao Lian finally calmed down.

Xiao Zilun shrugged his shoulders: "The enemy of the enemy is the friend, this is the simplest truth. ”

"But don't forget, if you want to fight for the reserve, I can also be regarded as Xiao Yun's enemy."

Xiao Zilun said noncommittally: "At least not now." If the second brother wants to be unfavorable to us, the fifth brother will definitely help us, and then find evidence to refer to the second brother. ”

"What about Princess Changle? What are you taking her for? Are you going to take her with you when you come to be a meat shield? ”

Xiao Zilun's smile froze: "It's better for her to follow me." ”

Xiao Lian sighed and said: "The deep mountains and old forests are no longer in the man's land, it's not a joke, you must pay more attention when the time comes, if you really can't do it, don't follow us into the mountain, just wait at the mountain gate." Xiao Lian looked up at the second floor again, and there was no longer Xiao Yan's figure in front of the window: "You go in first." Someone's coming for me. ”

Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Zilun left, Xiao Yan walked to Xiao Lian's side.

Xiao Lian didn't look at Xiao Yan, and slightly raised the corner of his mouth: "Xiao Gongzi, are you a cat?" I didn't make a sound when I walked. ”

Xiao Yan smiled: "Didn't you also hear that by the prince?" ”

Xiao Lian pointed to the manger on the other side: "Xiao Gongzi's horse is over there, right?" ”

Xiao Yan didn't move: "The prince is a straightforward person, so he said it straight to the point." ”

Xiao Lian threw the hay into the manger, clapped his hands and said, "This king doesn't have what Xiao Gongzi wants here, Xiao Gongzi, please go back." ”

Xiao Yan said: "The prince actually wanted to go to the ghost domain to explore. ”

Xiao Lian looked up and saw a pair of bright eyes through the gap in the ghostly face. This is a pair of eyes that should have been born on the face of a bright and upright general, with the straightforward and heroic brilliance of a general. But the person who has these eyes is full of intrigue and calculation.

Xiao Lian asked, "So what?" ”

"Then we're all friends until we find the Ghost Domain."
