Chapter Thirty-Six: The Fog of the Water Pavilion
Chapter XXXVI Preface
Lan Ruoyuan, in Qian'er's exclamation, exploded.
"Miss Gao is gone!"
Tuoba Hong searched the entire Lanruo Garden, but he didn't find anyone, he dispatched all the slaves and maids in the Lanruo Garden, and the guards surrounded the Lan Ruoyuan to look around, but there was still no one.
Tuoba Hong asked the guards to go back to Gaofu quickly to see if Rong'er had returned to the house.
He hoped that she had secretly returned home because she didn't want to stay in Lan Ruoyuan.
The guard dismounted at the gate of the Gao Mansion non-stop, and as soon as he entered the mansion, he met Ying Lin, who was about to go out.
The guard hurriedly asked, "Has the sophomore lady returned home?" β
Ying Lin was surprised that the young lady did not return to the house at all.
"Didn't you ask the emperor to take it to Lan Ruoyuan?"
The guard panicked and said hurriedly, "The sophomore miss disappeared in Lan Ruoyuan, and she disappeared. β
Gao Fu was surprised when he heard the news.
Gao Xian immediately took the horse out of the stable and rode straight out of the city, followed by You Ran.
You Ran was alone and secretly ran out to look for it without anyone's consent.
The moment You Ran went out through the back door, Gao Li could see it clearly. From that day You Ran sacrificed his life to help Gao Zhaorong, Gao Li began to doubt You Ran's intentions.
She thinks that a slave is willing to sacrifice his life to treat a woman, which is nothing more than falling in love with that woman, and the other Gao Li can't figure it out.
Gao Li wants to seize Gao Zhaorong's handle, and it is best to have an affair with his subordinates.
When You Ran was about to take over Gao Zhaorong's punishment in the garden that day, Gao Li wanted to make good use of You Ran.
She called You Ran to her residence, and with a look of concern, asked You Ran where he was from and who else was at home?
You Ran just told her that she was alone and helpless.
Gao Li and Yue asked You Ran, why are you so loyal to the second lady?
said that he had not been in Gaofu for a few days.
You Ran woke up, his impulsiveness made people suspicious, and he tried his best to help the second lady in Gaofu before he had contact with her, which would make people feel confused.
You Ran can only say that he can't get used to seeing women being bullied.
After hearing this, Gao Li suddenly laughed and felt that what he said was too interesting.
However, Gao Li didn't believe what You Ran said.
Gao Li said to him coldly, if you are a heroic and righteous person, then you go and kill someone for me, that person is a bad person full of evil. You Ran had to kill that person to believe that he was that chivalrous.
You Ran had no choice but to agree to Gao Li. He made a request, that is, he could not target the second lady in the future.
Gao Li gave You Ran a name, and it was Gao Li who hired the bandit who robbed Gao Zhaorong halfway.
After You Ran agreed to Gao Li, he went out of the house for a few days, and spent several days looking for the street gangsters.
When You Ran came back, he told Gao Li that he had done it.
Gao Li personally went to the streets to look for traces of the gangsters, but he really didn't see the man again.
Gao Li believed in You Ran, and also looked at him differently because he had martial arts.
However, Gao Li is still looking for an opportunity for Gao Zhaorong to make mistakes.
Gao Zhaorong's disappearance was not only clear to Lan Ruoyuan, but soon the Beihai Mansion also knew about it.
After Xie Rin got the note from the pigeon's foot, he quickly informed the King of the North Sea.
King Xun of Beihai quickly took Xie Rin and a few soldiers from the palace and galloped towards the direction of Lan Ruoyuan.
Because of Gao Zhaorong's disappearance, Fang Yuan near Lan Ruoyuan was full of people looking for her for more than ten miles.
Tuoba Hong never rested, riding a horse and walking through one forest after another, one mountain village after another.
Gao Zhaorong had no news, and Tuoba Hong was already very lost, and his face was extremely ugly.
Lan Ruoyuan, he has already checked carefully, there is no trace of trembling and struggling, it is obvious that it is not someone who took her away, that is, she walked out by herself...
He couldn't understand why this was the case, leaving without leaving a word?
Is it because I am not good enough for her?
She doesn't want to be around her?
Or is it because she wants to marry her as a concubine, she is afraid, so she wants to escape?
Tuoba Hong blamed himself.
He just wanted to find her as soon as possible and nothing happen.
He was afraid, afraid that she really had no intention of going out, but she couldn't find a way back. Because he knew that she had amnesia and was unfamiliar with everything.
Standing on the top of the mountain, Tuoba Hong looked at the fields below the mountain and called out loudly.
"Rong'er, where are you? Come back soon! β
In the forest below, several horses are driving.
The King of the North Sea jerked on the reins and looked towards the source of the sound.
Xie Rin also looked up.
"It's the emperor."
"It seems that Miss Gao hasn't been found yet..."
Tuoba Xiang frowned, without any expression on his face.
"Are your subordinates going to meet with the emperor?"
Xie Rin asked.
"No need, this king is looking for this king, and you can't let the emperor know that this king is coming."
The King of the North Sea looked at the few people who were with him.
"My subordinates understand."
His bodyguards answered.
The King of the North Sea waved his horsewhip and stopped moving forward, and chose another way to find it again.
The team soon came to the edge of the lake in the middle of the mountains.
The King of the North Sea looked at the lake and glanced into the distance.
This is in the middle of the Lantau Mountain Range, with steep peaks and long lakes.
On his side, he said, "This is to the Green Styx Lake..."
The King of the North Sea stared at the long lake in the distance, and he thought, it is impossible for Gao Zhaorong to go to the other side of the lake, this lake is long, and it is impossible for a woman to walk so far in such a short time.
Besides, there is a legend about this lake, and ordinary people stay away from this green and dark lake.
The King of the North Sea did not stay any longer, but lost his horse's head and continued to look for other places.
The Flowing Frost Water Pavilion, with the lake in front and the mountain in the back, is in the recess of the mountain, and the only way to enter is on the stone rock at the water's edge of the Blue Styx Lake.
The mountain behind the water pavilion is several kilometers above sea level, and the flat land at the col can only be seen from the air.
The only way to enter the mountain from the rocky rock, there is a mechanism, and no one knows the way to close the rocky rock, and there is a world in the recess of the lake cliff.
No one has ever rowed past this lake, not that no one has ever visited, but there is a legend here.
It is said that there are monsters in the water, and whoever gets to this water area will sink the ship and die.
This legend has been around for hundreds of years, so no one dares to take this risk.
Twenty or thirty years ago, there was a bold man who wanted to confirm whether this legend was true?
One day the man rowed alone, but his good brother could not persuade him, so he let him go.
His brother waited for a long time where he had gone into the water, and when he did not see him return, he knew that something must have happened.
Later, his two brothers made this legend even bigger. After that, no one dared to try again.
To outsiders, the Frost Water Pavilion has no idea that there is such a place. This place has also become a mysterious zone, and Bai Rui is now the sole owner of this mysterious zone.
Flowing frost water pavilion, perennial fog is very heavy, the temperature is mild, the four seasons are like spring. Regardless of the season, the flowers bloom all year round, making it a great place for plants to grow. The plants here are much larger than the average plant, which may be due to excessive nutrients or because they have not been stepped on for many years.

Horses weave through the woods in the dark.
After walking a long way, I asked Bai Rui, "Where are we going?" β
Bai Rui whispered from behind him, "Go to a fairyland, I guarantee you will like it." β
I just don't know where the fairyland he said is, but it took me away for a long time, and the sky is dawn, and it hasn't arrived yet.
"I'm a little sleepy, how far is the fairyland you are talking about?" My back was completely resting on his arms, and he wrapped his arms around me and slowly steered the horse.
"When you're tired, close your eyes and rest for a while, and you'll be there soon." His voice was gentle, like a lullaby.
Somehow, I put my trust in him completely.
I don't understand why I should go with him.
I've completely forgotten about going back to the house.
I literally just leaned into his arms, felt his body temperature, and closed my eyes sleepily.
"Bai Rui, thank youβ"
I whispered in front of him, so softly that I felt like I was going to fall asleep.
He wrapped me tightly in his long cloak, and my whole body felt like I was being held in his arms.
Even though it was cold, I felt warm and comfortable leaning on him.
When Bai Rui woke me up, we arrived at the shore of a lake.
A trail in the mountains winds into the distance, and in front of me is a puddle of water.
The lake is blue, so quiet! It's so quiet that you can't see it flowing, and when the breeze blows, the layers of water waves, like wrinkled clusters, are evenly spread on the surface of the lake.
I saw a huge waterfall rushing down from the mountains on the edge of the lake, and I could already faintly hear its sound.
Immediately next to the waterfall, you will see a small wooden house. The scenery here is pleasant, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and it is very beautiful.
This should be the fairyland that Bai Rui said, it is really beautiful.
"Put me down." I looked back at the man behind me.
After Bai Rui put me down, I walked briskly ahead of him, passed the corridor on the water, and came to the courtyard gate of the wooden house.
The courtyard gate built by ancient trees has a few big characters written on the horizontal plaque: Flowing Frost Water Pavilion.
I looked back at Bai Rui who was following behind me, and said with a smile: "Where is this?" This house is yours? β
Bai Rui replied to me with a smile, "The master is not me, but I will help him take care of it now."
I was fascinated by the beautiful scenery and walked quickly to the courtyard gate.
The courtyard door was unlocked, and it opened with a light push.
The wooden house has changed from the baptism of time, and I know at a glance that this house must be some years old.
A large tree in the courtyard is particularly conspicuous, it has been hundreds of years old, and many small birds have built nests on the tree. Under the big tree, a circle of stone beds is made, and it is full of colorful flowers.
I looked up and saw that the trees were so tall that they felt like they were going straight into the sky.
"What kind of tree is this?"
I looked at Bai Rui, his gaze was always on me, but I was used to his expression and the complicated emotions that looked at me.
It feels like that's what he is.
It's just that he is very indifferent and cold, and this person never seems to smile much.
"Boom..."
A word came out of his mouth coldly.
"Huh?"
I questioned again.
"Mulberry trees?" I was a little surprised.
"I've never seen a tree like this before..."
His gaze turned to the tree pole, and his tone was still calm, "This tree is a rare plant, it is usually difficult to see, and in the entire Pingcheng realm, there is only this one. β
I patted my hands and circled around the tree, excited.
"I, Gao Zhaorong, am so blessed to be able to see such a god-like tree today!"
At this moment, several small birds flew down from the lush foliage, and the birds flew around the woman's body, and from time to time they chirped.
I was so excited, a bit like that time in the valley with birds hovering over my head.
Am I very fond of birds?
I turned happily in the breeze, feeling like I was dancing with the birds.
Bai Rui on the side stood stunned, raised his eyes to stare at me, and said indifferently, "It's good that Rong'er likes it." β
I looked at him and smiled, "I like it." β
It's just rare to see a slight smile on his often melancholy face.
I suddenly saw a seductive smile on the face of the demon, and I couldn't help but be attracted to him.
It felt like the dream in the Valley of the Hidden Forest suddenly appeared in front of me.
I wanted to reach out and touch his face a little uncontrollably, but I hadn't touched it yet, and suddenly I felt so powerless.
When I was about to fall to the ground, I was held in his arms again.
His good-looking eyebrows furrowed slightly, a little panicked, "Rong'er-"
My head is so heavy and I am confused.
The birds hadn't flown away yet, they were always flying overhead.
He picked me up and walked into the house.
My head was so dizzy that I couldn't hold on any longer, and I fainted.
In my sleep, I entered the dream again, and the scene in the dream was a yard, under a big tree.
I saw a boy and a girl about seven or eight years old under a tree, happily chasing after me, and I was very happy.
The boy kept running after the girl, shouting incessantly, "Hello, Hornβ"
The girl smiled and called, "Come and chase me, Brother Jingqi, hurry up and chase me-"
Then the girl danced merrily under the tree, and the boy took out the jade Xiao from his body and blew a beautiful tune.
The girl is like a budding flower, attracting all kinds of birds... Flying butterflies.
After the dance, the boy clasped the girl's hand, and the two looked at the tree together.
The boy said: "This tree is you, Brother Jingqi will definitely take good care of it, so that it will not wither for thousands of years, and it will not decay for thousands of years."
The girl smiled deeply, "Ju'er believes in Brother Jingqi, and Ju'er knows that Brother Jingqi will always be by Ju'er's side, grow up with Ju'er, and grow up like this tree." β
The boy swore an oath: "Brother Jingqi will always be by Hu'er's sideβ"
The girl was only five or six years old, and the boy was only one finger longer than the girl, and the two felt like golden boys and girls.
Amid the joy of the two, a vague female figure next to them sat and watched them.
The woman's outline was a little blurry, and the girl in the dream waved at the woman and shouted, "Sister Disheng, what Brother Jingqi said, you have to testify to Ju'er." β
The vague woman smiled and said, "In the future, Jingqi lost his words, and Sister Disheng helped Huan'er teach him a lesson." β
The girl clapped her hands very happily, and kept calling the name "Brother Jingqi - Brother Jingqi -"
