Wu Mingzong Yun Dao Chief bargained in the garden, and finally Wu Ming agreed to send Princess Chaoyun out of the fortress.

Invited a powerful bodyguard without spending money, the beard on Zong Yundao's face trembled slightly, and it was difficult to suppress the excitement in his heart.

"Her Royal Highness the princess has a prince to protect her along the way, and it is foolproof to think about it. On the occasion of parting, the old man still has some things to explain to his son. ”

Wu Ming thought to himself that this old man had a lot to say: "What else does the senior command?"

Daoist Zong Yun sighed lightly: "Her Royal Highness the princess is a hard-working person, her mother died as soon as she was born, and her father ...... her like this."

Wu Ming was also a little curious about Princess Chaoyun's background: "Who is Princess Chaoyun's mother?"

Daoist Zongyun looked at the night sky, and shook his head after a while: "Princess Chaoyun's mother is not from the palace, in fact, the princess's mother is the previous Taichangqing. ”

"The last Taichangqing?"

Wu Ming was stunned, he had the impression that Tai Changqing was already equivalent to the white-bearded old man in front of him.

Even the old man has to ...... This emperor's taste is so strong!

"The princess's mother has always been shunned in the palace, but I think I should tell the princess. Daoist Zongyun lowered his voice a lot: "The princess's mother was Taichangqing, in charge of Taichang Temple, and she was also the most talented witch. ”

Wu Ming sighed, it turns out that the witch can also be too Changqing, not only the old man, that is reasonable.

"Does the princess's mother also have the power of a shrine maiden?"

Daoist Zong Yun shook his head: "I've never heard of this point ever mentioned by anyone, but now that I think about it, maybe it's just that the adult hid his power very well, and others haven't noticed it, so it's possible......"

"Indeed......"

Wu Ming felt the same way, Twilight, who was also a witch, concealed her strength very well, living in the middle of the city, and looked no different from ordinary girls.

This can be regarded as a kind of protection for herself by the shrine maiden.

Daoist Zongyun continued: "I don't know much about the things back then, I only know that the princess died in a hurry after giving birth to the princess, and the ministers of the court and the central government talked about it, the witch was originally a person who served the gods, but she made peace with the emperor, which is a great disrespect to the sky, and this is the main reason why Her Royal Highness the princess was born and sent to Taichang Temple." ”

Wu Ming nodded: "Princess Chaoyun is equivalent to a stain on the emperor, no wonder he has never come to see his daughter for so many years." ”

I lost my mother when I was born, and my father has this face, which is really no different from an orphan.

"Although I haven't seen the real witches in ancient times, I have read a lot about them in books, so when I saw Her Royal Highness the princess, I understood that the power in her body was the power of 'witches'. ”

Zong Yundao sighed: "Now in this world, the ancient sorcerers have broken the inheritance, Her Royal Highness the princess is very intelligent, and she has figured out some ways to use her power from the ancient books, but it is only the skin. If her mother was still alive, she might be able to teach the princess a lesson or two, but it's a pity ......"

After a pause, Daoist Zong Yun looked at Wu Ming: "Her Royal Highness the Princess, she has strength and is not an ordinary person, just because of the emperor's will, she married far away from the Western Regions, and the old man is really unwilling to ...... her."

Wu Ming pursed his lips, if you are unwilling, you will go and talk to the emperor, what's the use of complaining in private.

"In short, although Her Royal Highness was born into the royal family, she has not received any royal favors, so she is not obliged to give everything to the royal family. ”

Wu Ming frowned slightly: "Senior, what do you mean?"

Daoist Zongyun lowered his voice: "Once the west is out of Yangguan, it will no longer be the jurisdiction of the Great Han, whether to go to the Xiongnu and relatives, or to enjoy the world, it should be up to the princess to decide." ”

Wu Ming snorted: "Senior, princess, before she makes a decision, she needs to convince the 1,000 elite soldiers accompanying her." ”

Daoist Zong Yun smiled mysteriously: "Childe, this is also the reason why I asked you to be the princess's guard, only if you are not tempted by the high-ranking officials, you can be the most trusted support of Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Wu Ming smacked his lips, this old fox, he thinks so much!

"Senior, I am a citizen of the Han Dynasty, how can I disobey the emperor's order casually!"

Wu Ming glared, and made a righteous and stern statement: "You have to add money~"

......

On the second day, on a hill behind Taichang Temple, Princess Chaoyun, dressed in white, knelt in front of an unnamed grave and whispered softly.

"Mother, this time I went to the Western Regions, I'm afraid there will be no day to return to Taichang Temple in this life, after today's worship, you and I will be separated......

There was no one around, only Daoist Zong Yun, who was dressed in civilian clothes, stood behind, sighing in a low voice.

Princess Chaoyun stood up after the worship and turned her head to look at Daoist Zongyun: "My lord, let's go back, and the grave of my mother will be entrusted to you in the future." ”

"That's nature!"

Zong Yun Dao bowed down and agreed, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the emperor was ruthless, Princess Chaoyun's mother, as one of the six officials, also gave birth to a daughter for the emperor, but in the end, there was only a lonely grave, and even a tombstone could not be erected.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, the old minister told you before that you asked Wu Ming to take you away after leaving the fortress......"

Princess Chaoyun's expression was calm: "My lord, although I have no feelings for the royal family, but this time I went to the Western Regions to make the border stable for a long time, and the people can avoid war. ”

Zong Yundao sighed: "It's a long way to go to the Western Regions, Your Highness can still think about it slowly, if you have a change of mind, go to Wu Ming, he is a trustworthy person." ”

Princess Chaoyun looked at Daoist Zongyun: "My lord, why do you trust Wu Ming so much?"

Daoist Zong Yun smiled bitterly: "In fact, if you talk about the art of observing people, the old decay is not as good as Her Royal Highness the Princess, you are born to see through people's hearts, so whether Wu Ming is trustworthy or not, it is up to Your Highness to decide." ”

Princess Chaoyun stood in place, silent for a long time, and suddenly looked up at Daoist Zongyun.

"My lord, you have worked hard for me all these years, and Chaoyun has thanked me here. There is no return date for my daughter to go to the Western Regions, please take care. ”

Princess Chaoyun used the word daughter, which was equivalent to treating Daoist Zongyun as her father, and Daoist Zongyun was suddenly surprised, and almost burst into tears.

Stretching out his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, Daoist Zong Yun nodded: "Okay, okay." I hope that His Highness will leave the cage from now on, and the world will be vast and free to roam!"

(The Journey to the West chapter is finally about to begin, Princess Chaoyun leads the team, Wu Ming is responsible for fighting monsters, Liyue is responsible for Huazhai, and General Lin is responsible for camel luggage, after nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties...... No, where did the white dragon horse go...... ）
