Ask about the Immortal Way

Chuntao is very similar to Princess Dongyang in terms of height, body shape, face shape, and even gait. There are some differences in temperament, but unless the two people stand side by side and compare, outsiders can't tell the authenticity.

Granny Li said: "Miss, I and Chuntao will go back to Kuncheng first. We will meet up in Kuncheng after Miss has finished her business."

After that, Granny Li took the disguised Chuntao back.

Unexpectedly, when walking past Qin Sang, Chuntao suddenly stopped, looked at Qin Sang, and smiled, "Mr. Qin, I wonder what wood the stick in your hand is made of, and it has such a bright luster? My younger brother also likes to play with sticks. , Unfortunately, I have been weak and sick since I was a child, and my parents did not allow it. When I go back this time, I want to bring one as a gift for my little brother."

Qin Sang was stunned, wondering why Chuntao suddenly asked these questions.

Seeing the old woman's calm expression, the Princess of Dongyang did not stop her and said: "Reporting to Miss Chuntao, this stick is made from the heart of ironwood. This kind of ironwood grows in the Muzi Kingdom in the south. Miss Chuntao came to Muzi Country. You can buy it from merchants.”

"My little brother will definitely like it. I'll thank Mr. Qin on his behalf first."

Chuntao's eyes flashed, she covered her mouth with a smile, and then followed Granny Li out.

When getting on the carriage, Chuntao almost slipped, but Granny Li quickly caught her with quick eyes and hands.

After sending her into the carriage, Granny Li raised her voice and said, "Miss, I have an order. If we don't go to Sanwu City this time, everyone will turn around immediately and go back to Kuncheng."

The guards immediately got up and mounted their horses, turning around silently and returning without asking why.

The carriage was silent, Chuntao covered her mouth tightly, tears streaming down her face.

…

After Granny Li and others left, everyone came out of the forest and looked at the empty road ahead. Princess Dongyang was silent for a while and suddenly asked an old guard: "Mr. Yue, is what Chuntao said true?"

Mr. Yue replied: "Miss, Miss Chuntao does have a young brother in her family. He has been sick all year round and almost died several times. He has been taking medicine to survive. Miss Chuntao's monthly money is all given to the family, which is barely enough to buy for the younger brother. Medicine cures disease.”

Princess Dongyang was puzzled, "What kind of disease is it? Isn't it possible that Dr. Li can't diagnose it?"

"this……"

Mr. Yue hesitated for a moment and said, "Chun Tao seems to have asked... However, the royal doctor in the palace rarely leaves the palace. Except for a few adults such as Zhizhou, ordinary families may be able to hire him unless they spend a huge sum of money."

Princess Dongyang said 'hmm', "After returning to the palace, Mr. Yue remembers to take my handwriting to ask the imperial doctor to treat Chuntao's younger brother. The money for the diagnosis and medicine will be withdrawn from the palace... and then find an errand for him in the palace. "

Mr. Yue said: "Miss Ende."

Princess Dongyang looked around and asked: "Commander Bai, is there a way out from here to the north?"

Bai Jianglan pondered for a while, nodded and said: "There is a path through the mountains that can lead to Linwu City. You can also go around the city. With a horse galloping, you can reach Yingnan County in four days."

Princess Dongyang made an immediate decision, "Then go north. Send a message on Yue Lao Road and ask my father to send someone to Yingnan County to meet him."

…

Bai Jianglan took the lead in clearing the way. Qin Sang and Water Monkey followed Bai Jianglan silently, and the group of people speeded along the path.

It can be seen that Bai Jianglan is very familiar with this place. He changed directions and roads one after another, which was dizzying. He passed by Linwu City that night and passed through the city without entering.

Late at night, Bai Jianglan chose a mountain col to rest.

They were all good hands. They quickly brought game and cooked it on the fire. Mr. Yue personally fetched mountain spring water and ate hard pancakes to satisfy his hunger. Princess Dongyang had a hard time swallowing, but she still finished it in one bite.

They ran away for a whole day, but no one was chasing them. Qin Sang estimated that even if Jiang Shanlou did not give up the assassination, he might have been attracted by the bait.

I don’t know how many of the baits will survive.

On this day, Chuntao's last smile reappeared repeatedly in Qin Sang's mind, making him sigh inwardly that the cruelty of this world was more naked than in his previous life.

Forced to spend the night in the mountains, Qin Sang had no duty to guard and found a tree to rest against.

Beside the bonfire, Princess Dongyang was lying on her side, covered with clothes, and did not move for a long time, as if she really fell asleep. The elder Yue was sitting cross-legged next to her.

Bai Jianglan took Water Monkey and others to make some simple traps.

Qin Sang couldn't sleep, and there were so many people around him who couldn't practice, so he sunk his mind into his body and looked inside, returning his consciousness to his soul.

Since the Jade Buddha drove away evil spirits, Qin Sang would come in and ponder it almost every night after practicing. But no matter how Qin Sang jumped around, the Jade Buddha never appeared again, and only the yellowish light remained.

After the Emerald Buddha appeared, Qin Sang didn't notice any changes while practicing the Netherworld Sutra. It seemed that the Emerald Buddha only saved his life when he was in danger, and other times he didn't even bother to look at it.

Qin Sang, who was full of expectations, could only gradually accept the reality, blaming it on his low level.

The night is cold.

Qin Sang wrapped her clothes tightly and closed her eyes to fall asleep. When she heard footsteps, she opened her eyes and saw Zhou Ning, the water monkey, walking over.

"Brother Qin, take a sip," Water Monkey handed him a small gourd and winked.

Qin Sang opened the lid, and the aroma of wine hit his nostrils. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he quickly took a big sip. Although he was in good health and was not afraid of the cold, the strong wine entered his throat, like a line of fire entering his abdomen, and he still felt comfortable. .

"Thank you, Brother Zhou!"

Qin Sang handed the wine gourd back and said with a smile: "Brother Zhou, from now on I can eat the fish you touched."

The water monkey chuckled and stood next to Qin Sang. He was not as talkative as before today and said nothing the whole way. He looked up at the night sky and suddenly asked in a low tone: "Brother Qin, why haven't you gone home for a year? You don't want to. Your parents?"

Qin Sang sighed softly: "So what? If you go back to the village, you can only live a miserable life. If you come out, you might be able to get ahead and let them enjoy the glory and wealth."

Water Monkey had a look of disapproval on his face, "Brother Qin, what you said is wrong. What your parents care about most is you. Reunion with your family is the right thing. What does glory and wealth mean..."

While the two were talking, Qin Sang's eyes suddenly changed, he stood up suddenly, raised his head and stared at the branches and leaves above that were blocking the sky, and shouted loudly: "There is someone! Be careful!"

Before she finished speaking, the shadow of the tree beside Princess Dongyang twisted, and a black shadow rushed towards Princess Dongyang.

Fortunately, Mr. Yue was beside Princess Dongyang. When the assassin appeared, Mr. Yue pulled out the sword lying on his knees. His body was like an eagle, leaping into the air and blocking the assassin's path. The sword's light was like a swimming dragon, and he struck directly. The assassin's chest and abdomen were vital.

Unexpectedly, the assassin did not dodge and faced the sword light, but became even faster.

'puff! ’

The sword easily pierced the assassin's waist and abdomen. The assassin's speed did not slow down at all, and he rushed straight in front of Mr. Yue. His mouth opened, and a cold light went straight to Mr. Yue's face.

The assassin didn't seem to know the meaning of pain.

Being stared at by a pair of dead eyes, Mr. Yue felt a chill in his heart. He hurriedly turned sideways to avoid the hidden arrows, suddenly turned back and tried to withdraw the sword, but was twisted by the assassin and stuck the sword tightly with his bones.
