"Xiaochengzi, this mission is very confidential, and you must not say it, otherwise this son will punish you."

Prince Su Zhe's expression was very serious.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, the ministers will keep it a secret."

Ye Cheng hurriedly assured.

But I was a little nervous in my heart, this wouldn't involve any palace secrets?

When the task is completed, will the prince finally kill himself?

Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and the risk is great.

"Xiaochengzi, you don't have to be nervous, as long as you work hard for the prince, the prince will never treat you badly."

Su Zhe felt that what he said just now was too serious, which would increase Ye Cheng's psychological pressure, and his expression and tone immediately eased a lot.

"The ministers will definitely go to the soup for His Highness, and they will not hesitate."

Ye Cheng didn't blink an eyelid, and immediately swore an oath.

If it's really too risky, then find a way to escape.

"Xiaochengzi, this prince knows that he is not wrong about you, this is the case, you find a way to leave the palace in a few days, and then go to Shuzhou."

The crown prince Su Zhe patted Ye Cheng on the shoulder, very happy.

Then he lowered his voice and began to talk about the task he was going to do.

Ye Cheng looked confused, and left the palace to go to Shuzhou?

Suddenly, his heart moved, and a possibility came to mind.

Wasn't that Chaoyun girl taken away by the sword of the Heavenly Sword Gate?

And Tianjianmen is the martial arts faction of Shuzhou.

Wouldn't it, the prince hasn't forgotten that Chaoyun girl until now?

What kind of magic does this Chaoyun girl have, so that the prince of Qianguo still can't forget it?

Isn't it just that the appearance is a little purer, a little more touching, a little more delicate, and a little whiter skin?

Anyway, after he saw it, his heart was not shocked.

"Ahem...."

Seeing Ye Cheng's expression, Prince Su Zhe immediately coughed, and then said, "After finding out the news about Miss Chaoyun, you will come back and tell me as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

Ye Cheng took on this task without hesitation.

Isn't it just to go to Shuzhou to find out the news?

It's a pretty simple task.

To this day, he has not had a chance to go out and take a good look at the customs of this world.

Now that the war has subsided and social order has gradually been restored, if you go out, be cautious and cautious, plus his cultivation of the Great Perfection the day after tomorrow, it should still be relatively safe.

"This is the fund that this son gave to you to do the task, and there will be a reward when you come back."

The crown prince Su Zhe took out a box and put it in front of Ye Cheng.

Ye Cheng opened the box and saw that there were ten silver ingots and some gold leaves.

The silver ingots were eleven taels, and there were a hundred taels in all.

The gold leaf is estimated to be twenty or thirty taels.

There is also a bottle of elixir.

When the cork was removed, a strong medicinal fragrance came out.

It is the best Jinghong Dan.

There are at least a few dozen.

Compared with gold and silver, this superb Jinghong Pill is the most valuable.

Although it is useless to Ye Cheng, it is also a real hard currency, and it is easy to exchange it for gold and silver.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward."

Ye Cheng held the box in both hands and said respectfully.

"Remember, you must not tell what this prince commands."

Su Zhe admonished.

"Your Highness, please rest assured, the ministers have retired first."

After Ye Cheng finished speaking, he then took the box and left.

In the room, Su Zhe got up and walked under a wall, stretched out his hand and pulled a thread, and suddenly a painting fell quickly.

Above is a portrait of a woman.

Lifelike.

It's the Chaoyun girl.

"Miss Chaoyun, you and I will not have a chance after all, after a while, I will follow the etiquette system and accept the crown princess."

Su Zhe looked at the portrait and lost his mind for a long time.

He vaguely remembers that six years ago, when he was studying at Lanxi Academy in Cangzhou, he met a girl who made him feel excited, and since then, he has often skipped school to secretly see that girl.

Until one day, he never saw the girl again.

Later, I inquired about the news and learned that a huge change had occurred in the girl's family and her house was raided by the imperial court.

He has been using the power of King Jing's Mansion to find out the girl's whereabouts.

It wasn't until a few years later that he saw the girl again on the painting boat in Xianglan Pavilion.

The girl grew up.

But it has also fallen into the dust.

thought that he would finally be able to stand in front of the girl, but he didn't expect a problem that gradually shattered his inner illusions.

"As long as you live well in Shuzhou, I will be relieved."

A soft smile appeared on Su Zhe's face.

He sent Ye Cheng to Shuzhou to see the situation of Miss Chaoyun.

This is the last obsession in his heart.

.....

A few days later.

Ye Cheng found a reason and obtained approval to leave the palace.

Walking on the streets of Yujing, the traffic is busy, the people are boiling, and it is extremely lively and prosperous.

It wasn't the first time he had left the palace.

When he served in the military department of the Taiwu Palace, he went out of the palace to inspect several weapon workshops.

These armor workshops are outside the palace.

It's just that it was a business trip at that time, and I didn't have time to play in Yujing.

This time, he went out of the palace with the prince's mission, and felt that it was necessary to visit Yujing.

It's not an urgent task anyway.

To Shuzhou, it is two or three thousand kilometers, even if it is a day and night, fast horses, it is estimated that it will take a week.

It took three days for Ye Cheng to visit Yujing.

The Qinglou culture here is also very developed.

The famous Red Lantern Street can be called a beautiful style of Yujing City.

If it weren't for Ye Cheng's inadequacy, he would definitely have to go in and have a good look.

He also inquired about the housing prices in Yujing by the way.

A house with a slightly better location can't be taken down without a few hundred taels of silver.

He will definitely buy a house in Yujing City in the future.

After all, he can live forever and stay in the palace all the time, that's not good.

When he is older, he will have to plan to leave the palace.

Living outside is also more at ease.

On the fourth day, Ye Cheng spent a lot of money to hire a carriage, left Yujing, and went to Shuzhou through the wide official road.

This way has to pass through several states, the road is long, in order to make the trip more comfortable, naturally you can't be wronged.

The groom is a dark-skinned middle-aged man named Shen Dacheng, who looks honest and honest, and has a good driving level.

I have practiced martial arts, but I have practiced horizontal external skills, and I have no achievements, so I devote myself to the car industry, go south and north, and have rich experience.

This Shen Dacheng looks honest, but he is a real talker.

Since leaving Yujing, he has hardly stopped talking.

Ye Cheng didn't care, listening to him say some gonzo and local customs, he also found it interesting.

"Ye Gongzi, I see that you are from an extraordinary background, why don't you have an entourage around you? To Shuzhou this road, the small one has been to the two trips, and it used to be easy to say, but now the war has just ended a few months, and there are still scattered rebel armies in some places. ”

Shen Dacheng drove the carriage and said with a nagging mouth.

"Old Shen, since it's dangerous, do you dare to go?"

Ye Cheng lifted the curtain, and suddenly a heat wave hit, and the road outside was dusty.

Although it has already entered autumn, the temperature is still very high, and it is said that there is a severe drought in several states, such as the area where Yujing is located, and it has not rained for almost three months.

"Ye Gongzi, there is no way for the small ones, how to make money without taking some risks, more than a dozen mouths of the family are waiting for me to eat and drink. Before the war, the business was sluggish, and the little one had been working hard at home for several months, and now it is almost winter, so I have to make a little more money before the cold winter wax moon, otherwise this winter will not be good. ”

Shen Dacheng said helplessly.

Ye Cheng knew that this was the real life of the people at the bottom.

This is true in any world.

He lowered the curtain, which was cut off from the heat outside.

The temperature in the carriage was several degrees lower than outside, and there were some ice cubes in the wooden basin beside him, which effectively lowered the temperature in the carriage.

On top of the ice, there is also some fruit.

In this hot weather, it is a luxury to use ice cubes to escape the heat, and only the wealthy can afford to use it.

Ye Cheng didn't have a chance to use money in the palace, and he had some money in his hand, since he came out, he naturally couldn't wronged himself.

He picked up a piece of watermelon and ate it.

Sweet and refreshing.

In this slightly stuffy carriage, there is a special flavor.

Halfway through eating, he suddenly picked up another piece and handed it outside the curtain.

"Old Shen, here you go."

"Ah, Ye Gongzi, a little coachman, how can I eat you..."

"Eat it if you want to."

"Thank you, Childe."

Shen Dacheng outside was so grateful that he caught the frozen watermelon and took a bite.

As the cold juice poured into his abdomen, he suddenly felt much cooler.
