Mysterious Prince (3)
"It has nothing to do with me! Just remember the conditions you promised me!" Yun Qianyue said lightly.
The boy snorted and didn't say anything.
Soon after, the shopkeeper ran back panting, took a pack of medicine in his hand, and said to Yun Qianyue with a pale face: "Master, don't have any medicine like Long Qianzi. Long Qianzi is very rare. Generally, small shops cannot afford it. Only the two largest shops in Luoshuicheng have it. But the shopkeepers in these two largest shops said that they had ten kilograms of Long Qianzi, but they were bought by a masked man at noon today."
Yun Qianyue's face turned cold and she turned her eyes to look at the boy, "What should I do if I don't have Long Qianzi? Can I change it to another medicine?"
"Long Qianzi is an indispensable medicine!" The boy frowned, looked at the medicine bag in the shopkeeper's hand, then glanced at Ling Lian and Yi Xue's white faces, and suddenly waved his hand, "Forget it, forget it, I can take out the remaining two precious medicines on my body."
Yun Qianyue was stunned, "Do you have an antidote?"
The boy reached into his arms, took out a very delicate bottle, and threw it to Ling Lian reluctantly, and snorted: "It's not the antidote to this poison, but it's millions of times better than the antidote, it's a life-saving medicine. It's hard to find one in the world, and I really can't bear to let it go. But seeing that they kindly save me, I'll give it to them!"
Ling Lian reached out to take the bottle and looked at Yun Qianyue.
Yun Qianyue saw the boy's reluctance to leave, thinking that what he said should be true, otherwise he would not be reluctant to take it out. However, in her opinion, no matter how good the medicine is, no matter how precious it is, it is, no matter how precious it is, it is, so she said to Ling Lian who was looking at her: "Since that's the case, you should take it quickly!"
Ling Lian nodded and opened the bottle. A fragrance suddenly wafted out. The familiar smell was Tianshan Snow Lotus. Yun Qianyue was stunned. Ling Lian and Yi Xue were also stunned. Both of them looked up at the boy. The boy waved his hand, so Ling Lian and Yi Xue poured out the medicine inside, each of them divided one, and swallowed it into their mouths.
"I'm starving to death! I want to eat!" The boy sat at the table, picked up the chopsticks and started to swallow it.
Yun Qianyue saw Ling Lian and Yi Xue eat Tianshan Snow Lotus, so it would be fine. She said to the three of them: "You guys will have breakfast after you have eaten! We will set off tomorrow's third update."
"Yes, Miss!" Ling Lian Yixue nodded in unison. She felt a little guilty. She didn't help the lady along the way, and in the end she caused trouble for the lady. They were too tired all the way, and because they lived in Zuixiang Tower in Fengge, they were too careless for a moment, so they started to talk. However, they learned the lesson and would not dare to be careless no matter where they go next time.
"Don't blame yourself, just learn from your lesson!" Yun Qianyue threw down a sentence, turned around and walked out. After all, Ling Lian and Yi Xue were professionally trained by Hong Pavilion. They are usually very cautious, but it is impossible for people to not have time to wet their shoes. What's more, the other party is in the dark and they are in the light.
The shopkeeper followed Yun Qianyue out of Room 1, Tianzi, and whispered: "Master, will you thoroughly investigate this matter?"
"Check!" Yun Qianyue's voice was slightly cold, "Finish the person who bought the medicine, follow the clues! Report to me immediately after finding out, don't do anything, and try not to alert the snake as much as possible."
"Yes!" The shopkeeper responded immediately.
Yun Qianyue returned to Room No. 2 and looked at the room. It was obvious that the shopkeeper had been thoroughly investigated. She walked straight to the bed and lay down. The bed was still surrounded by a faint familiar atmosphere. Although she was so tired, she was not sleepy. It was not until a long time before she gradually fell asleep.
At the third update, Yun Qianyue woke up and pushed open the door of Room No. 2. She saw Ling Lian, Yi Xue, and the young man waiting at the door. She glanced at the three of them, and her eyes fell on Ling Lian and Yi Xue's hands. As expected, she was ready. She didn't say anything and walked downstairs. The three of them followed her.
After leaving Zuixiang Tower, Yun Qianyue turned over and was about to leave when she was about to beat the horse, the boy grabbed her arm, stood under the horse and looked at her and said, "I want you to carry me."
"You have been resting for so long but haven't had enough rest?" Yun Qianyue raised her eyebrows.
"No!" the young man said decisively.
"No! I'll ride my own horse!" Yun Qianyue refused.
"Yun Qianyue, I gave you two treasure medicines I had treasured for a long time to eat! That's how you treated me? I could not have taken it out. At most, we rushed to the next city overnight. If there was no other city, then you two maids would die. But I still took it out. I was not a good intention, it was purely for your sake." The young man looked at Yun Qianyue with dissatisfaction, and said word by word: "And I slept much during the day yesterday and couldn't sleep at night. Now I'm sleepy again. Very sleepy! I can't ride a horse anymore."
Yun Qianyue looked at the boy, and indeed saw that he was a little tired. She glanced at Ling Lian and Yi Xue, and saw that the two of them had already turned over, she had no choice but to stretch out her hand, "Come on!"
The boy was happy and put his hand in Yun Qianyue's hand.
Yun Qianyue reached out and pulled him to the horse. He adjusted his position on his own, leaned against Yun Qianyue's arms, closed his eyes, and was really ready to fall asleep. Yun Qianyue glanced at him, squeezed his legs into the horse's belly, and the horse left Zuixiang Tower.
Ling Lian and Yi Xue followed behind him on horseback.
After resting for a night, not only did the people stop, but the horses also rested. The three horses were extremely fast, and they were running lightning without stopping. They had no obstacles on the road. At noon, they arrived at the boundary of Meiling Mountain River Valley County.
Meiling Mountain has a very special geographical location. It is surrounded by two stretches of mountains, with mountains about a hundred miles long. There is a river in the middle, which connects the East China Sea. Hegu County is located between the two mountains and is built along the mountains. Therefore, Hegu County is not connected to all directions, but leads east-west and east, with only two roads. Therefore, Hegu County is also a must-pass road to the East China Sea.
Most of the ancient people chose the address to be built by rivers, which facilitates water use. In addition, the mountains on both sides can also block cold wind and sand. However, there are advantages and disadvantages. Because of this terrain, Hegu County has created the severity of the current flood disaster.
Yun Qianyue held the horse's reins and looked at the stone tablet standing in front of her. She saw the three big words "Hegu County" written on the stone tablet. Her eyes stayed on the stone tablet for a moment, then looked forward. She saw that the only road in front was blocked by huge rocks rolling down from the mountains on both sides, with stones, mud and sand, and a typical landslide.
"Miss, there is no road ahead! What should I do?" Ling Lian looked forward. The official road leading to Hegu County was already winding, but now there is no road.
"Are you going to cross the mountains? Are we going to the mountain road?" Yi Xue also looked forward, her eyes falling on the mountains on both sides. Although Tiansheng has suffered droughts for many years in recent years, Hegu County is an exception. Because there is a valley leading to the East China Sea, there is sufficient water source here and the rocks on the mountain are soft.
"The mountain road is probably not easy to walk on! Moreover, the terrain here is very complicated, with many mountain streams and ravines. If you can't walk well, you can't get around and get out." Ling Lian took the speech and said.
"Since Prince Jing has come to Hegu County, how did he go? Has Prince Jing not arrived here yet? Let's get there first?" Yi Xue looked at the road around him and saw no traces of ruts.
"Yes! We didn't seem to see any traces of ruts along the way!" Ling Lian also said.
Yun Qianyue did not speak, but looked ahead, not knowing what to think.
Seeing that Yun Qianyue was silent, Ling Lian and Yi Xue stopped talking, and each thought about feasible countermeasures.
"Rong Jing came on horseback! Although there were no traces of ruts along the way, there were traces of horse hooves. But he walked a day and a night earlier than us, and now the traces have been worn out. I think he has already entered Hegu County." Yun Qianyue was silent for a moment and spoke.
"How did Prince Jing leave?" Ling Lian looked at Yun Qianyue and asked.
"Raft!" Yun Qianyue's eyes fell on the wide river valley not far away, and spit out two words.
"Miss is right!" Ling Lian and Yi Xue's eyes lit up.
Due to heavy rains for several days and landslides, the water in the valley has risen from a small valley to now be level with the mountain streams and ravines on both sides. The roads are blocked, so you cannot walk up the mountain, or ride a horse and drive a car. Then there is only a boat, no boat, and only a raft.
Yun Qianyue reached out to pat the boy who was still asleep, "Wake up!"
The boy whined and opened his eyes. When he saw the three words "He Gu County" on the stone tablet, he was very happy, "Here?"
"It's not here yet! Come down and cut down trees and make rafts! I hope we can arrive soon." Yun Qianyue saw her wake up and turned over and dismounted.
"Make a raft?" The boy's head couldn't turn for a moment.
Ling Lian kindly explained to the boy, "The road is blocked and I can't walk. We can only use this valley to pass by and can only make rafts. This place reaches the border of the valley county, which is dozens of miles away from the valley county!"
The boy said "Oh", obviously not planning to help, so he lazily fell back on his horse's back, "Then hurry up!"
Yun Qianyue didn't plan to ask him to help, and she didn't say anything. She walked around the woods not far away. Ling Lian and Yi Xue glanced at the boy and followed Yun Qianyue.
"I haven't seen a raft yet, forget it, follow you to see it!" The boy woke up and turned over and dismounted, following behind the three of them.
When he arrived at the woods, Yun Qianyue selected a few trees of similar thickness and asked the three of them to retreat a little. Then he used his skills to chop them gently. The trees fell down in front of her. She told the three of them, "Put down the bark."
"What are you doing when you peel the bark?" the boy asked curiously.
"Make a rope!" Yun Qianyue said.
The boy nodded, Ling Lian and Yi Xue responded and started to peel the book cover. The boy saw it fresh and immediately started to pick it up. Although it is late summer, the trees are still lush, and the water and soil are abundant here, and the trees are all very good, and the book cover is easier to peel.
