Chapter 52: Linzhou Inn

After entering the northern border, you can no longer see the city filled with gunsmoke, only the city is prosperous and peaceful, and the people come and go, wandering around the city.

There are two city roads from the border, the imperial capital and the border, two avenues, respectively in the southeast.

Mu Yunqi rode on the horse and watched Gu Hanxuan's carriage gallop away from the avenue to the east.

"Imperial sister-in-law, let's go too." King Qing shouted from her side.

Mu Yunqi looked at him sideways and said, "Call me Yunyin." ”

"Okay."

After hearing his agreement, she raised a smile: "Then should I call you Hanmo or the ninth brother?" ”

King Qing pretended to be scared and said, "Don't, don't call Hanmo like this, although I am older than you, you still follow the fifth brother to call me the ninth brother." ”

Mu Yunqi smiled proudly, spurred the horse, and drove away in the dust.

The two traveled for half a day and arrived in Linzhou City.

The city of Linzhou is the old city of the original Linchao, and the border was originally the Linchao that was once captured, and later separated into the city of the northern country, so the two cities are not separated by the distance of a city, and the city that is separated by Mu Yunche has also been captured by Mu Yunche.

Linzhou is a small city, and there are no guards in the city, so Mu Yunche never thought about this place.

Go further, is the imperial city of the original dynasty, later renamed Yuzhou, when the north and the Jin country invaded the imperial city, most of the people inside fled out of the city, and the people who stayed in the city were also raided. Most of the people of the royal clan died in the city, and there was a lot of resentment in the city, and it was later abandoned as an empty city.

In the town of Linzhou, in a small inn.

Mu Yunqi sat in the room and was sad, she didn't know how to get in touch with Bai Rong, without him, even if she arrived in Yuzhou City, she couldn't remember the road back then.

And Bai Rong must be with the third brother now, how she wants to send the letter to Bai Rong, and the third brother can't know.

King Qing entered the room with a tray, put the food on the table in front of Mu Yunqi, and turned back to close the door.

He sat down on the stool and looked at Mu Yunqi with a sad face while chewing.

"What's wrong with you? Why not eat. ”

Mu Yunqi looked at King Qing with slightly narrowed eyes, and after thinking about it, he raised a meaningful smile at him.

"How is the ninth brother?"

King Qing was puzzled by her sudden question, and said without thinking: "In the entire northern country, there is no opponent. ”

Mu Yunqi smiled more and more at this moment, approached him and whispered, "Then the ninth brother is tired of running to the border city for me." ”

King Qing stopped eating, looked at her with a reluctant expression, and said, "Border? The fifth brother said that he couldn't enter the border city. ”

Mu Yunqi sank his face and said, "If you don't want to make this trip, I have to go by myself." ”

"No." He put the dishes and chopsticks on the table, his face became heavy, and said, "Fifth brother said that you must not be allowed to be in danger. ”

"Now that I have lost all my martial arts, if I am found in the city, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape. For the sake of now, I have to go for me, and I will wait for you at this inn. Mu Yunqi whispered, looking at him with a frown.

After King Qing understood, his entire facial features were wrinkled together, looking extremely unhappy, and he pouted: "What are you going to do in the city?" ”

"Send me a letter."

"To whom?"

Mu Yunqi thought for a while and said, "This person is by my third brother's side, his name is Yirong, when you find the third brother's residence in the city, it will be easy to find him." ”

King Qing took a deep breath and said, "What do you mean, I still want to investigate in the city?" Do you want to get close to Mu Yunche? ”

Mu Yunqi stood up and looked at the corner of the room.

Bai Rong said that he had been on the border for many years, and he should be familiar with the terrain in the city. But Gu Hanmo didn't recognize him, how to let him find Bai Rong smoothly.

She walked back and forth in the room, thought for a while, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and said, "When you go to the city, find out where my third brother lives, and then put a lantern near him, and you hide around and wait for someone to come, if the person who comes is a gentle-looking man, he must be unsuspicious." ”

She quickly pulled out rice paper and candles from the room.

"What do you want?" King Qing saw her rummaging around, wondering what she was looking for.

Mu Yunqi put the rice paper on the table and said to him: "I want wood and bamboo, oil paper." ”

"I'll find it for you right away." With that, he opened the door and went out, as brisk as a gust of wind.

Mu Yunqi found out the pen and ink and drew a picture on the rice paper.

In fact, there is nothing special about the painting, but it is a very ordinary landscape painting, and it is an unsightly landscape painting, but as soon as Bai Rong sees this painting, he will know that it was painted by himself.

Because when she was learning to paint as a child, the ink stains on the bottom of her hands would always stain the paper, so she used to add a few more strokes to the dyed ink to turn it into her own unique style of painting.

Soon King Qing carried a basket of bamboo, wood and paper into the house, and he looked confused as Mu Yunqi squatted on the ground and tossed upside down.

"Bring it."

After a while, she placed a lantern on the ground and set a candle in the lower end of the lantern.

King Qing crouched beside her and looked curiously at what was on the ground, he had never seen a candle placed under a lantern like this.

"What is this?"

Mu Yunqi raised his eyes and glanced at him, explaining: "This thing is a Kong Ming lantern, you take it to the border and raise it into the night sky at night." ”

"Kong Ming lantern? Can it ascend to heaven? He wasn't just curious, he was a little shocked.

I've never seen lanterns floating on the water, and I've heard that lanterns can ascend to heaven.

"I will teach you how to raise it, and you just have to remember that when it rises into the night sky, if someone comes, give him the painting on the table, and when he sees it, you bring him to me." As she spoke, she picked up the Kong Ming lantern and carefully checked whether it was ready.

"What painting?" He got up and walked over to the table and looked up.

After seeing the painting, he held back and didn't speak, but he really couldn't hold back, and laughed heartily: "Such a unique painting is indeed unforgettable." ”

Mu Yunqi glanced at him and said, "Come here, I'll teach you how to ascend to the sky." ”

King Qing continued to laugh for a moment before stopping, and then walked to her side with a serious face.

Mu Yunqi taught her the methods that Bai Fanxi taught her one by one to King Qing.

Seeing that he seemed to understand how to ascend, she folded the letter and handed it to him.

"You set off immediately, and when you reach the border, it's almost evening."

"Then you're at the inn, don't go out." King Qing put the Kong Ming lantern in the bag and tied it, and then put the candle flame fold into it.

The corners of Mu Yunqi's mouth hooked up and said, "What are you afraid of?" Do you think I don't know there's anyone on the eaves? ”

Now that she has no skills, how can Gu Hanxuan rest assured that there is only King Qing by her side.

"It seems that you know the fifth brother quite well." He smiled unnaturally.

"Go and get back." Mu Yunqi said cautiously, looking at him like a torch.

King Qing put away his laughter, took the burden and nodded solemnly, and then opened the door and left.

Mu Yunqi stood on the edge of the window lattice, watching a black horse gallop across the street under the window.

When I was a child, every Chinese New Year's Eve night, the Jin King's Mansion would raise Kong Ming lanterns, which were given by my mother, and I would make them myself in addition to my mother.

If Bai Rong saw the lights in the night sky, he would definitely guess that he had invited him to meet him in this way, and he would also guess that his meridians had been unsealed and his memory had been retrieved.
