Chapter Seventy-Three: Merlin

This Baiyun Temple doesn't look big. Qi poured out of the main hall and wandered around the temple, wanting to find Zhao Wanning and the eldest princess.

It's just that his mind is now full of the words of the monk just now.

"The benefactor has a long, dangerous, twisty and wrong road from the start. Now I want to turn things around, but I have lost the opportunity. ”

"I'm afraid there's no going back."

Qi Chu is not afraid of the long and confused road ahead, from the moment he followed his mother back to the capital and joined the Qi clan, he knew that he still had a long way to go.

And so it is.

The days in the Qi family were very hard. The Qi family has many heirs, and he is not outstanding in it. In Qi clan studies, every time his homework is checked, his grade is the last.

Seeing that he really didn't have the talent to study, his mother went to the Qi clan - the Marquis of Zhenbei in private.

I don't know what my mother said to Zhenbeihou, but when Qi Zheng couldn't recite the homework assigned by his husband again, Zhenbeihou called him away.

Later, Qi Zhen and Zhao Wanning got married.

Zhao Wanning treated him very well, and gave him a lot of support when he was most helpless, giving him a foothold in the Qi family.

Qi Yan also thought that Zhao Wanning was the county lord, and if she married her, she would be able to use her status as the county lord and the power of the eldest princess and the Marquis of Zhenbei to rise to the top in the officialdom.

But Qi Zhen is still under the fence after all. Every time he saw Zhao Wanning, he was reminding him of the deal he made with Zhenbei Hou in disguise. When he was in Qi Mansion, he tried to please everyone in Qi Mansion, and he had enough of the days he had spent under the fence for so many years.

Now that he has military merits and a beloved, he doesn't want to marry Zhao Wanning anymore.

Thinking of Zhao Chen'an, Qi Chen's heart trembled. He suddenly remembered that he hadn't thought of Zhao Chen'an for a long time.

Zhao Chen'an is the woman Qi Zhen rescued on the way back to Beijing in victory.

At that time, in order to save her, Qi Chu accidentally injured his arm. Zhao Chen'an stayed by his side, took care of him carefully, and said that he was willing to make a promise.

Qi Zheng didn't take it to heart, he saved Zhao Chen'an by doing it, and he didn't want anything in return. took Zhao Chenan on the road with him, also because Zhao Chenan said that she was going to Beijing to join her relatives.

Qi Zhen thought that she was a weak woman, and she was afraid that she would encounter danger on the way back to Beijing, so he took her back to Beijing with him.

didn't want the two of them to fall in love for a long time.

By Zhao Chen'an's side, Qi Zhen always felt inexplicably relieved.

After Zhao Chen'an entered the Eldest Princess's Mansion, he had less contact with him.

At the beginning, Zhao Chenan said that after all, Qi Yan had a marriage contract with Zhao Wanning, and she was not good at having too much contact with a man with a marriage contract.

In order to be able to meet Zhao Chenan more, Qi Yan took the initiative to find Zhao Wanning to withdraw from his family.

Who knows, after he broke off the marriage contract with Zhao Wanning, Zhao Chenan always avoided him.

"As soon as you broke off your engagement with your sister, I will see you every day, and if my sister knows, she will definitely think that I robbed you. She'll be ...... again when the time comes. I am now living in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, she is the master of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and I dare not offend her......"

Zhao Chen'an said it sincerely, and when she mentioned Zhao Wanning, she even showed a look of fear.

Qi Zhen also thought for a long time. Later, I heard that Zhao Chen'an was not doing well in the eldest princess's mansion, and was always bullied by Zhao Wanning.

Who can bear the bullying of their beloved woman? Qi Yi admitted that he went to Zhao Wanning to withdraw from the marriage because he had some thoughts of revenge.

However, after Zhao Wanning really broke off the marriage contract with him, Qi Zhen began to feel empty in his heart.

What's even more terrifying is that with the passage of time, Qi Chen's feelings for Zhao Chenan are gradually dissipating, but he always wants to pay attention to Zhao Wanning.

Qi Yi originally thought that after he and Zhao Wanning successfully dissolved the marriage contract, they would be able to go their own way, and it was best that the two of them could be strangers.

Zhao Wanning really regarded him as nothing, and every time he saw him, he didn't want to say much, but he always couldn't help but pay attention to Zhao Wanning's every move.

This time, when the Holy Lord sent the Royal Forest Army to escort the eldest princess and Zhao Wanning to Qingzhou, the Marquis of Zhenbei told him in advance that he wanted him to take the initiative to take over this important task.

Qi Wei hated Zhenbei Hou for pointing fingers at him, especially after he broke off the marriage contract with Zhao Wanning, he bought a small house in the capital and moved out with his mother.

But this time he silently agreed, and then took the initiative to ask the Holy Lord for his life to take over the errand.

Qi Zhen knew that all this he had done was just for Zhao Wanning. Not only to protect her safety, but also to spend more time with her.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Qi Wei knew in his heart that he was in love with Zhao Wanning, after breaking off the marriage contract with Zhao Wanning.

Hearing the monk's explanation today, Qi Quan's first reaction was that his road to becoming an official might not be smooth.

But it's also human. Which official in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty was a person who was on the rise? He is not a purple microstar, and he has no ambitions, but he just wants to gain a foothold in this world and shelter his mother from the wind and rain.

Therefore, Qi Chu is not afraid of the worries and twists and turns ahead, and he doesn't want to turn back. This path is his own choice, then he will continue to walk.

Qi Shen looked at the signature in his hand, "mistaking the fish eye for a pearl." His fingers kept silently rubbing the word "pearl".

What does this mean?

Qi Zhen instinctively felt that this sentence might be related to Zhao Wanning. But he really couldn't figure out what it was. Zhao Wanlin has always been that brilliant pearl, so what is the fish eye?

said that Zhao Wanning and Zhao Wangshu, the two of them sneaked out of the post station last night, and then Zhao Wangshu rode a horse and took Zhao Wanning to Baiyun Temple.

"I'll take you to see the plum blossoms." After having breakfast in Baiyun Temple, Zhao Wangshu took Zhao Wanning to the mountain behind Baiyun Temple.

There is nothing special about Baiyun Temple. The only thing that is barely special is the wild plum blossoms that are all over the mountain behind the temple.

In winter, the plum blossoms bloom quietly.

This reminded Zhao Wanning of the red plums that spread all over the mountains in Lingshan Temple.

Unlike Linshan Temple, the incense of Baiyun Temple is not abundant, and there is no extra money to plant plum blossoms on the back mountain.

The plum trees on this hill are all wild plum blossoms. They are a mix of colors, with white, red, and pink. All kinds of wild plum blossoms bloom messily throughout the mountain.

There are also people in the plum grove who enjoy the flowers here.

Zhao Wanning wandered around in this wild plum forest. These plum blossoms, which grew freely and savagely in the wild, were different from the ones she had seen before. They grow freely, and their unpruned branches strive to grow upwards and look vibrant.

"Look, sister! There's actually a light green plum blossom here! Zhao Wanning pointed to the plum blossoms on the branches in front of him and said excitedly.

The cluster of white plum blossoms was mixed with a light green plum blossom, which was so light that it was easy to ignore if you didn't look closely.

Zhao Wanning turned around, but found that there was one more person beside Zhao Wangshu.

The man was wearing a monk's robe from Baiyun Temple, and his height was not much different from Zhao Wangshu, and he seemed to be talking to Zhao Wangshu.

As soon as the monk saw Zhao Wanning turn around, he folded his hands and waved at her.

"Amitabha. I have seen noble people. ”

Zhao Wanning was a little embarrassed. She originally thought that only Zhao Wangshu was following her, but she didn't think that there was another monk.

Zhao Wangshu learned from the monk and folded his hands and said, "Hello, little master." ”

Zhao Wangshu saw that she was a little restrained, so he introduced: "This is a monk from Baiyun Temple, and the Dharma name is uninherited. ”

Zhao Wanning walked in front of the two, and she said, "I've seen Master Wuji." ”

Master Wuji had a faint smile on his face, and he didn't seem to care about Zhao Wanning's reckless behavior just now.

Zhao Wangshu had already told the monk Zhao Wanning's identity.

"Master Wuji was a doctor before he became a monk. Over the years, he has also been silently using medical skills to help the people. When I heard about the flood in Qingzhou this time, I thought that there might be a plague, so I prepared a lot of herbs in advance. I have brought you to him today. The three of them said as they walked.

Zhao Wanning obediently followed Zhao Wangshu's side and listened to her explanation.

"This time we went to Qingzhou, and Master Wuji will also walk with us. He is a skilled doctor, a skillful hand to rejuvenate, and has also experienced a small scale of plagues, and has experience. ”

"Oh, then are we going to Qingzhou with the Royal Forest Army, or are the three of us going alone?" Zhao Wanning asked.

"What do you want?" Zhao Wangshu asked rhetorically: "Follow the Royal Forest Army, travel is by carriage, will not experience the wind, sun, rain, snow and snow, accommodation, food and accommodation." ”

"If the three of us were going alone, we would need to ride horses. Sometimes you may not be able to ride a horse and need to walk. As for the accommodation, it is naturally not as good as the post station, and sometimes it will be camped in the wilderness. ”

"Yesterday I rode a horse to Baiyun Temple overnight, and you know how hard it was."

Speaking of last night, even though Zhao Wanning wore thick clothes, a hat and a cloak, he still couldn't withstand the cold wind of this winter. When they arrived at Baiyun Temple, Zhao Wanning had already been frozen by the wind, but fortunately, the little monk in the temple brought her hot ginger soup.

Zhao Wanning looked at Zhao Wangshu, then at Wuji, and said embarrassedly: "I still want to act alone, so it's more free, we can go to other towns to have a look." What if there are any suitable herbs? ”

"As long as we meet them before the big army arrives in Qingzhou, there should be no problem, right?"

The last sentence was said to Zhao Wangshu, she was worried that if Qi Chu knew about it, she and the eldest princess would escape together, and she would immediately report to the saint, which might bring trouble to Zhao Wangshu.

Zhao Wangshu said: "Then it depends on how Captain Qi will choose." ”

"Am I right? Qi Du Lieutenant. ”

As soon as Zhao Wangshu's voice fell, a swordsman dressed in black fell from the sky.

"Qi Chuan has seen the eldest princess of Chaoyang and the lord of Qinghe."

"Is that you?" Zhao Wanning was originally taken aback by the black-clothed swordsman who suddenly appeared, but she didn't want the black swordsman to kneel directly on one knee and salute the two of them.

Zhao Wanning looked at it again, isn't this Qi Zhen? She was a little puzzled, shouldn't Qi Chu go to Qingzhou with the Imperial Forest Army, how could he appear here?

"Get up." Zhao Wangshu looked at the plum blossoms in front of her casually, and she said: "I never thought that Qi Duwei actually had a hobby of listening to people's corners, which really opened the eyes of this palace." ”

Qi Shen stood up, he touched his nose embarrassedly, and didn't speak.

Qi Chuan also searched the entire Baiyun Temple, but did not find anyone. I heard that there was a wild plum forest in the back mountain of Baiyun Temple, and thought that Zhao Wanning might like to see flowers, so he came to the back mountain.

Unexpectedly, he really saw the voices of Zhao Wangshu and Zhao Wanning in Houshan Meilin. It's just that as soon as he came, he heard Zhao Wangshu ask Zhao Wanning if he wanted to set off with the Imperial Forest Army or act alone with them.

Qi Yan also wanted to know Zhao Wanning's choice, so he never showed up, but silently followed behind a few people.

I didn't expect Princess Celestia to be able to find him.

"What are you doing with you?"
