Chapter 70: Mr. Chilling
Great Zhou, Tiantai 21 years.Autumn.

14-year-old Wu Yue went to Yuming Mountain for the first time.

In order not to attract the attention of the courtiers, she came to the capital in the name of traveling.

He stayed at the post station of the government office all the way, and after arriving in Changqing County near Yuming Mountain, he lied that he had suffered from the wind and cold, thanked guests behind closed doors, and recuperated for a few days.In fact, Jian Cong was a light car, accompanied only by General Shen Que, the God of War, and went out from the back door of the inn to Yuming Mountain.

Yuming Mountain is so steep that horse-drawn carriages cannot go up the mountain.You can only leave the carriage at the farmer's house at the foot of the mountain and go up the mountain on foot.

General Shen was afraid that Wu Yue would be troubled, so he proposed to hire a few porters so that Wu Yue could go up the mountain in a sedan chair.

Wu Yue refused.

She came here to invite Mr. Xie to come out of the mountain. If he knew that she couldn't even walk this part of the mountain road, she was so insincere, how could she agree to help her?

Therefore, Wu Yue insisted on walking up the mountain by herself.

Although she has practiced martial arts and some small spells, she has been pampered since she was a child and has never suffered. When she climbed to the top of the mountain, her feet were covered with blisters.His hands were also scratched several times due to the need to grasp things for strength when climbing the mountain.

On the flat top of the mountain, there are several thatched cottages side by side. The outer circle is surrounded by a yard with bamboo fences, where a few chickens, ducks and rabbits are scattered.

In the yard there was a boy in Tsing Yi who was sweeping the floor with a broom every now and then.

"This little brother." Wu Yue came outside the bamboo fence and asked aloud. "Excuse me, is this the home of Mr. Xie Yi, Yuming's gifted scholar?"

The little boy in Tsing Yi looked at her, and first exclaimed: "Sister, you look so good-looking!"

Then he told her with a smile: "But, sir is not at home."

"Thank you for your compliment." Wu Yue was very happy that she had successfully found Xie Yi's residence. "Did Mr. Xie go down the mountain to do some errands? It's getting dark, is Mr. coming back soon?"

But the little boy said, "No. Mister is out on a trip."

"Outing?"

"Yes." The little boy said. "My husband often goes out for study tours. It's called, it's better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books!"

"It's a long trip!" Wu Yue came to her senses. "When will Mr. Xie come back?"

"I don't know about that! It can be as short as ten days, or as long as... half a year!"

"This... I don't mind waiting, but I can't wait so long..."

The little boy said: "Then sister will come back next time."

Wu Yue thought about it, and it seemed that this was the only way to go.

It has been almost half a month since she came out of the capital and came here all the way.She had to go back as soon as possible, otherwise, people in the palace would be suspicious.

"Then when will your husband be home?"

The little boy said: "My sister is so pretty, I like it, so I will tell her a secret quietly! My husband is afraid of the cold, and he doesn't go out in winter. So, when my sister comes in winter, it's best to come on a snowy day. My husband Ah, you must be at home!"

"Thank you!" After Wu Yue thanked her solemnly, she took out a golden bean from her sachet and gave it to the little boy. "This is a special golden bean. You string a rope and hang it in front of the window. When the wind blows, it will make a nice sound."

"Thank you sister."

Xie Yi returned to Yuming Mountain on the fifth day after Wu Yue left. When he saw the golden beans hanging on the study window, he called the little boy over and asked, "Sanqi, has anyone been here?"

"Ah, yes, she is a beautiful sister with a super temperament, come to see sir."

Xie Yi smiled and said, "You are young, do you know what temperament is?"

"I know!" Sanqi said confidently, puffing out her small chest. "Someone like Mr. has temperament. That sister is just like Mr., she is also super temperament. Anyway, once you see her, you will know that she is different from others."

Xie Yi stopped arguing with him and said, "Since she gave you this, hang it in your own room."

"She gave it to me for the sake of my husband, and I dare not hide it. But since my husband said so, I will take it back and hang it up!" Sanqi smiled "hee hee" and trotted to the window , dragged a stool and stepped on his feet, and took off the wind chime.

"This wind chime, the sound is really nice! Mister will think it sounds nice in the future, so don't go back on your word!"

Xie Yi shook his head with a smile: "Little slippery head."

Wu Yue has been thinking that Xie Yi must be at home in winter.At the end of November of the same year, she wanted to go to Yuming Mountain again, but failed.

The main reason was that her father, who was addicted to alchemy, ate his newly refined elixir, vomited, and even had a fever, which made the whole palace tense to death.Although after lying down for more than half a month, she barely recovered her vitality, but Wu Yue missed the opportunity to travel.

Therefore, in the winter of the second day, Wu Yue went to Yuming Mountain for the second time.

"Beautiful sister, you are here again!"

This time, just after climbing to the top of the mountain, Sanqi recognized her, and came over to greet her with cheerful steps.

"Yes! Little brother, long time no see!" Wu Yue also greeted him. "Is your husband at home?"

Sanqi wrinkled her small face and said, "I am at home, but Mr. has closed the door to thank guests these few days."

"Thank you behind closed doors?"

"That's right!" Sanqi said. "The day before yesterday, two so-called celebrities came to lecture on the scriptures and Taoism with my husband. Then they quarreled with my husband when they disagreed. The husband was very angry and said that they were incompetent and scheming, and asked me to take that The two drove away, and said that they would not see any visitors for the next half a month, and all those who came would be driven away."

Wu Yue said: "I didn't come to talk to you about scriptures and Taoism. I have something to ask you. Can you pass on a message for me?"

Sanqi said: "Sister, wait a minute, I'll ask Mr."

"Okay, thank you."

Sanqi ran back to the thatched hut, and soon ran out again.

"Sister, sir, no see, please come back."

The general Shen Que who accompanied her was the famous God of War in the Great Zhou Dynasty.Seeing that Wu Yue's request was rejected, she said: "Princess, since he is here, I will go in and arrest him..."

"Don't." Wu Yue quickly stopped. "We are here to ask the husband for help, we must not be rude. Since the husband refuses to meet..." Wu Yue turned to Sanqi again. "Little brother, can you bring me some ink and paper?"

Sanqi's eyeballs rolled around, said "OK", and ran back again.

Running into the study room, while taking a pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the desk, he said to Xie Yi who was sitting by the fireplace reading: "Sir, the beautiful sister is a princess! Do you want to recruit Mr. to be your son-in-law!"

"I don't see anything." Xie Yi didn't lift his eyelids.

Sanqi took the pen and ink and went out, Wu Yue wrote a letter on the stone table in the small courtyard, and asked Sanqi to forward it to Xie Yi.

Sanqi took the letter and ran back to the house in a "thump-thump-thump" manner.

"Sir, a letter from the pretty princess!"
