Chapter 97 The Mountain

Author: Mrs. Liwai

When Cheng San saw his godmother being stunned, he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

But Shu Yan looked at the little Taoist priest and heard her speak: "Have you ever seen a strange Taoist priest who likes to wear pink Taoist robes and wears flowers..."

The little Taoist priest coughed lightly, he reached out to approach the bonfire, and then whispered: "I want to know my master, but my master has passed away."

For some reason, Shu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Since ancient times, no one dies in life, one more day is counted as one more day."

Cheng San burst out laughing, but the little Taoist priest took out a yellowed handkerchief from his arms. He stood up and shouted loudly while everyone was eating, "I happened to meet an old woman named Chen Ying on the road. The old woman was suffering from a plague and had some troubles on her body, so I could find his child..."

Shu Yan couldn't hear the rest clearly. She felt a little confused and her heart was a little panicked for some reason. Seeing that her godmother was in a bad condition, Cheng San hurriedly spoke with concern: "What's wrong? Godmother?"

Shu Yan touched his head and whispered.

"I just thought of what happened before."

Cheng San was immediately happy.

"What's the matter?"

Shu Yan sighed slightly, she reached out and touched Cheng San's head, and whispered: "Don't ask more questions."

The next morning, the little Taoist priest said goodbye to the two of them with a smile.

Shu Yan suddenly asked, "What are you going to do?"

The little Taoist priest nodded slightly and replied, "I'll go to see an old friend of my master."

They walked for a month and it was unexpectedly smooth. However, it was also said that Marshal Chen had recovered Pingqiu and became allies with Xiliang. The situation in the court was very good.

Everyone says that this marshal, although he is already a grandfather, is still handsome and charming.

Shu Yan felt helpless when he heard this. Seeing this, Cheng San smiled and said, "Godmother, don't take it to heart. Although you are also a grandma, your health is as good as a young man."

Shu Yan felt uncomfortable when she said this. She directly kicked the guy, and then said, "Don't look at how powerful the old man Chen is on the surface, he is actually an embroidered pillow."

Cheng San touched his chin and said, "It shouldn't be true. Didn't my godmother and godfather have seven children?"

Shu Yan reached out and twisted Cheng San's waist.

As soon as he looked up, he saw that they had arrived at the checkpoint set by the court. It is said that Marshal Chen sent a team of men here to inspect it specifically to prevent spies from infiltrating.

Cheng San and Shu Yan looked at each other and walked silently to the back of the team, just in time to meet Bai Guichen and the others.

Yu'an, the child, was running all the way, as if it was black charcoal, which was particularly pitiful. Xiao Yu'er whispered to Shu Yan: "My grandma, is this the northwest?"

This is the intersection of the northwest and the Central Plains. If you walk through this place and move forward further, you will reach the Hetao Plain, which is a large granary and the destination for them to escape famine.

Shu Yan reached out and touched Xiaoyu'er's head.

"Yes, there is a delicacy in the northwest called oil-splashed noodles, which is very delicious. I will take you to try it when I have the opportunity."

Bai Guichen interrupted at this moment, "Godmother, how can we pass the test? I'm afraid there is something wrong with it."

Shu Yan looked at the bloated crowd, then looked at the continuous mountains on the side. She whispered: "Safe, let's walk around the mountain road."

The so-called mountain road is the Qilian Mountains that run across the northwest. Although it is just a remnant, it will take more than a month to walk around.

Moreover, this place is not like the densely populated places like the Central Plains of Jiangnan. Most of the tigers and beasts in the mountains and forests have been driven away, and this place is quite original.

Shu Yan looked at the green mountains and felt his scalp numb, but who knew if this level was set by the eldest princess?

If they want to be safe and sound, they can only find another way.

Shu Yan ordered Cheng San and others to go and exchange some food for others, and they set off when it was late at night.

At the third day of the month, several people left the army with their children in their arms and rushed into the deep green forest.

I walked all night, and when I looked back, I could no longer see the way I came.

Shu Yan found a place with them just now to settle it.

It was late summer, and many wild fruits were ripe in the deep mountains and forests. Shu Yan picked fruits with the little fish. When Yu'an saw it, he hurried over to help.

However, this Asura was a very powerful person. He actually caught a pheasant and came back.

Shu Yan plucked the pheasant and handed it over to Bai Guichen. He roasted the pheasant, which was so fragrant.

Cheng San lay comfortably under the tree, and he said, "Godmother, otherwise, we will find a beautiful place to live in this Qilian Mountains, burn a wasteland, and talk about it after a while?"

Shu Yan gave Cheng San a blank look.

"Spring, summer and autumn are still going to happen. In winter, we will not freeze to death in this mountain. If the mountains in the south can still support people, but in winter, you can't even get a rabbit, so don't come up with bad ideas."

The group stayed here for another night. They each cleaned up their bodies, found a spring water, and took a luxurious bath.

But at night, Shu Yan heard the sound of the wolf howling.

It would be fine if you encounter a jackal, but if you encounter a tiger, you may not be able to defeat it.

So Cheng San, Shu Yan and others stayed there for another day, made some simple weapons, and then set off.

At this time, Chen Yunqing, who was far away in Pingqiu, took out a letter and handed it to his father, Chen Shengzhi.

Chen Yunqing whispered: "Father, the person sent out did not find any trace of his mother. Will his mother not go to the northwest?"

Chen Shengzhi carefully looked at the words on the letter, and he spoke, "Your mother will definitely go to the northwest and send more people, and don't let the princess know."

Chen Yunqing nodded.

Shortly after Chen Yunqing left, Princess Zhaoyang, dressed in gorgeous clothes, came in from outside the door. She saw her husband who was over fifty years old but still graceful.

He said with a smile.

"Is your husband thinking about her?"

Chen Shengzhi smiled at Zhaoyang and said, "Princess, she is my first wife. If you come here with great fanfare, you want to give her a warning. She is a smart person, so naturally she will not see you."

Zhaoyang sneered: "Take a wise man? I'm not the kind of stupid person who is only jealous. Who is the child she is with? Do you think I don't know?"

Chen Shengzhi was not surprised that it was easy for a princess who was in her thirties to be unmarried.

"Princess, the child doesn't know her identity, and she never thought about using this child for what to do."

Zhaoyang approached Chen Shengzhi, she reached out and grabbed Chen Shengzhi's arm and whispered: "Husband, Your Majesty once said that you all rely on you to choose from..."
