Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 641 Ghost Flower

General Zhu Xiangyu is the newly promoted confidant of Emperor Jing Yuan. After Emperor Jing Yuan saw through Xia Luoluo's attempt to kill her father and seize the throne, he uprooted the courtiers who secretly supported her, and changed the Daqi court.

Of course, there are many supporters of the eldest prince Xia Yan in this group of newly appointed officials. If it weren't for this, how could Emperor Jing Yuan's whereabouts have been leaked, and he was almost murdered by a killer?
According to the fact that Shen Yu's identity as the princess has not been revealed, he and Ji Xun, Zhang Neng and others pretended to be imperial guards and accompanied the imperial chariot.

Director Yang resumed his status as a servant, and served Ji Feng willingly. Along the way, he ran to pick some tender leaves that rabbits loved, and handed them to Ji Feng to feed his "baby".

Ji Feng's rabbit "Baby" gave birth to a litter of babies before, but it was a pity that he couldn't take care of them on the road every day, so he gave them away halfway.

Ji Feng has a bitter heart, thinking about feeding more food to the baby rabbits every day, so that they can have a new litter earlier,
There is a lot of rain in the south, and it rains almost every day, so I can only walk in the rain wearing a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat.

After a heavy rain that day, the brigade stopped suddenly.

General Zhu Xiangyu, who was ordered to escort Emperor Jing Yuan and Prince Afeng back to Beijing, immediately went on alert when he saw this, and all the guards drew their swords.

There are high mountains on both sides of this place, the road is narrow and the terrain is dangerous, and people are afraid of being ambushed.

Shen Yuyan, Ji Xun and the others also pulled out their swords and carefully protected the chariots of Emperor Jing Yuan and Ji Feng.

The atmosphere was tense, a guard rode over and said to General Zhu from a distance, "I tell the general that there is a large landslide ahead, blocking the way."

General Zhu felt relieved when he heard that, put the sword into the scabbard, said something to Emperor Jing Yuan in the imperial chariot, and went to check.

Days of heavy rain caused landslides and roads were blocked.

Seeing this situation, General Zhu got off his horse and climbed up the landslide by climbing the rocks.

I saw that a large section of the road was blocked by rocks, not to mention carriages, even horses could not pass.

I was in trouble, and I saw a man on the opposite side struggling to come over among the piles of rocks.

"Who is it?" General Zhu snarled and drew out his sword, "Stop for me."

However, the man seemed not to have heard it, and flashed a sign in his hand, "My master has something important to pass by this way, you look like people from the nearby military camp? Please send more soldiers to clear this way .'
As the man spoke, he came to General Zhu. General Zhu was wearing a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat, so he couldn't tell he was a general. The man took him as an ordinary soldier.

General Zhu glanced at the man, took the token and looked at it. It was the token of the palace, and he didn't know who it was, but it was not the emperor or the prince.

Then he smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I have important tasks to wait for, and it's really hard to follow my orders."

After such a long blockage, it can't be unblocked for six or seven days, and the detour is faster.

Seeing that General Zhu was about to leave, the man stopped him: "If you don't want to clear this way, then sell your horses to us, and we will pay a high price."

The landslide here cannot be overturned by horses, but it can be overturned by people with some effort.

But when people passed by, the horses couldn’t get through, wouldn’t they have no horses to ride? How can the people in the wilderness and wilderness do without horses, they are still in a hurry to go.

But General Zhu still refused, "Sorry, no matter how high the price is, I won't sell it."

"You~~, do you know who my master is? How dare you refuse?" The man was extremely angry.

"Who is it?" General Zhu stopped, he really wanted to know who dared to speak so loudly, could it be that the servants around the emperor were pretending to be powerful outside?
"It's a lady from the palace." The man glanced back and replied after getting the master's approval.

"Which empress?" General Zhu asked, he wanted to know which empress was so bold that she dared to leave the palace without permission.

"Concubine Yun." The man replied.

After thinking for a while, the man turned his eyes and added, "Concubine Yun has the permission of the empress to go to Luzhou to visit her sick father~~ If she is blocked here, I may not be able to go back home to fulfill my filial piety, so I will not let the empress down Kindness?"

"Really? Then you wait here for a while, and I will report back." After finishing speaking, General Zhu went to report the matter to the emperor.

The emperor was furious when he heard this.

"This concubine Yun~~ is really bold, where does she have a sick father as an orphan? Hmph." Emperor Jing Yuan's face was extremely ugly.

Concubine Yun Wei Muyan was a beauty sent to the palace by Minister Shen three years ago, and was conferred the title of Concubine Yun by Emperor Jing Yuan.

Emperor Jing Yuan never liked to enter the harem, so after the downfall of Minister Shen, he did not anger any of the concubines in the harem. Unexpectedly, Concubine Yun was so bold that she dared to lie and leave the palace at will!
Thinking of this, Emperor Jing Yuan threw the token in his hand to General Zhu, "Concubine Yun dares to leave the palace without authorization, and bring her back to me, and I will examine her carefully~~'
The incident of being assassinated by a killer in Qibei City this time reminded Emperor Jing Yuan that it was time to clean up his harem. Who knows what people those people with ulterior motives stuffed into his harem?
"Yes, Your Majesty." General Zhu took the token, brought a dozen guards over the rocks and mud to the other side of the avenue, and pointed the token at Wei Muyan, "Concubine Yun left the palace without authorization, Your Majesty Furious, I want you to return to the palace immediately."

Wei Muyan's complexion suddenly changed.

It's not that she didn't know that the emperor was going to the capital, but she really didn't expect such a coincidence to meet him here.

Originally, as long as she passes through here, she will immediately turn to the southwest direction, and the chance of encountering the emperor is very small, which is unbelievable!
What else can I do now? I can only go back to Beijing honestly.

"Mother, what should I do?" The killer leader named Lao Mao saw that the situation was wrong, so he found an opportunity to whisper to Wei Muyan, "If you go back, what will happen to the master's poison?"

Wei Muyan thought about it, and whispered to the old cat.

"I'm sure I can't go, but you can go."

"That kind of flower is called ghost flower. It blooms in the depths of the dark and damp swamp. It has no leaves. The flowers are pale and strange, like ghosts floating in the air, exuding a strange fragrance.'

"The flowers will be guarded by all kinds of ferocious beasts, you must be careful."

After speaking, he gave the old cat a jade box that was translucent like an ice sculpture, "This jade box is made of ice jade from Tianshan Mountains. After picking ghost flowers, put them in this jade box, and they can be kept fresh for several months."

"Okay." The old cat nodded, put away the Tianshan ice jade box, and walked forward for a certain distance. The killer sent him away.

On the other side, the emperor's convoy retreated for a certain distance, and made a detour back to Beijing in the southeast direction.

Half a month later, Emperor Jing Yuan and Prince Xia Hanfeng returned to the capital safely under the escort of General Zhu.

When the people of Daqi heard that their emperor had entered the city gate, there were thousands of onlookers.

It was the first time for Shen Yuyin to come to the Daqi capital, and he looked around with curious eyes.

The building is similar to the Great Zhou Kingdom, the difference is the folk customs.

The national style of Daqi seems to be more open than that of Dazhou. There are many women who set up stalls on the street to do business. When the pork stalls pass by, all the pork sellers are women. This is impossible in Dazhou. .

Then there is the attire, Daqi's women's skirts are all above the ankles, revealing brightly colored embroidered shoes, which are very simple and neat, and of course, cooler.

Shen Yuyong was watching with great interest, when suddenly his eyes swept away, and he found a dying little girl in the arms of a woman in the side alley, crying out of grief.

"Ah Xun, there seems to be a patient there, I'll go and have a look." The doctor's parents felt that Shen Yu could not pretend not to see it, so he got off his horse.

"I'll go with you." Ji Xun also saw it, handed the horse to Zhang Neng, and entered the alley with Shen Yu.
