Guide to the Empress becoming a God

Ji Meibian went out at five o'clock as usual.

The small basket is still carried on the back, and two coarse cloth bags for mountain goods are tucked into the wide bag at the waist.

Shen Yuyun came back from night patrol in the forest with a small beast, and saw a thin figure walking towards Ye Shuang.

"Going into the mountain so early?"

Shen Yuyun was a little surprised.

Ji Mei smiled and said, "Well, I have to deliver firewood to the city today."

Shen Yuyun knew that this was her livelihood, and said: "There are ready-made tents in front of the caravan tents, you can take some good ones and send them to save you from going into the mountains."

Ji Mei shook her head, "I have to chop and deliver the firewood myself no matter it's windy or rainy."

Shen Yuyun thought for a while, untied two small cloth bags from his waist, and handed them to Ji Mei:
"In these two bags, one is a top-grade spirit stone, and the other is a top-grade energy-replenishing pill. I will pay you part of the rent for the place first, and you will keep it. The rest will be calculated when we leave."

Knowing Shen Yuyun's thoughts, Ji Mei said with a smile: "It's agreed to keep friends for a while, so we can't accept money."

After finishing speaking, she bypassed Shen Yuyun and continued to walk into the mountains, turning her head and smiling as she walked: "I have to arrange for this job of delivering firewood myself, even if I have rich clothes and fine food."

Shen Yuyun smiled and nodded, knowing that this was the ambition of a young man, she waved her hand.

Ji Mei also waved her hand, and her thin figure disappeared beside the dense forest.

After cutting all the firewood, Ji Mei went to look at the hunting pit again, but there was not even a hare.

She guessed that probably because of the popularity of the caravan camp, the beasts did not dare to approach.

She went down the mountain from the other side with the bundle of firewood on her back, and headed towards Canglang City in the twilight.

There are very few people entering the city at this time, most of them are stall owners who are doing small business and rushing to the morning market, pushing carts and driving animals, but not too many.

A cavalry soldier roared out of the city, and galloped past the big horses among the merchants entering the city, looking abrupt and eye-catching.

When he reached the stubble, the leading general reined in his horse, looked at the two mountain roads in front of him, and seemed a little uncertain.

Ji Mei was passing by with a bundle of firewood on her back, the general rode up to her and stopped right in front of Ji Mei.

The general looked down at Ji Mei and asked, "Chai Lang, how can I get to Jinyun Village?"

Ji Mei turned around and pointed to one of the roads: "Over there."

The general nodded, and was about to ride his horse to continue on his way. He looked at the footprints behind Ji Mei and raised his eyebrows: "Since Chai Lang came from that road, isn't he from Jinyun Village?"

Ji Mei nodded, "Well, my family lives in Jinyun Manor."

The general's eyes lit up: "Do you know a woman surnamed Ji?"

Ji Mei blinked and shook her head: "The people in Jinyun Village are all from the Jinyun clan, where did the woman with the surname Ji come from?"

The general was a little disappointed, straightened up again, clamped the horse's belly with his heels, the horse under his crotch neighed, turned its hooves and ran down the road led by Ji Mei.

Several attendants who followed him also followed closely behind the general, and the sound of hooves was gone in a blink of an eye.

Ji Mei stood at the same spot, watching the team of cavalry throwing down the billowing smoke and dust, and didn't turn around until they were out of sight, then turned around and hurried towards Canglang City.

She frowned tightly.

It's not because the general asked her about her family's surname just now, but because the general inquired about a woman with the surname Ji.

As far as Ji Mei was typing, she had never heard her mother tell her who knew her daughter's identity.

She was born in Jinyun Manor, and even the old people in Jinyun Manor didn't know that she was a girl.

Mother said that as long as she lives in the Jinyun ancestral hall, no one will know that she is a woman, and she will not be in any danger.

Even though her mother passed away for so many years, Ji Mei hated Jinyun Changsheng who was thinking about increasing the rent for three days.

However, Ji Meibian never seriously thought about moving away from the Jinyun ancestral hall.

It is because of the words left by my mother.

As long as she lives in Jinyun Ancestral Hall, she will not be in danger.

When thinking of her mother's words, the question Shen Yuyun asked yesterday appeared in Ji Mei's mind at the same time.

"Is this idol more holy?"

Ji Mei froze for a moment, then immediately shook her head vigorously.

As if she wanted to get all these disturbing things out of her head, she lifted the bundle of firewood on her back, lowered her head and quickened her pace, and began to concentrate on her journey, and soon entered Canglang City.

Like every morning when she sent firewood, this big city just woke up from a peaceful sleep.

The last wave of excrement collection carts was about to exit the streets and alleys, and the long shouts of shopkeepers carrying poles and buying hot cakes could be heard from a distance.

This kind of tranquility made Ji Mei's irritable mood gradually calm down, and her footsteps also returned to the usual rhythm.

She lowered her head, thinking as she walked.

In fact, she had already thought a lot about this journey, and all she thought about was the worst outcome.

This is the way people usually think when they encounter things.

She thought that if her daughter's identity was accidentally exposed, it would definitely not be safe to live alone in the Jinyun Ancestral Hall.

She had to move out of Jinyun Village, and then she packed up her bedroll to find shopkeeper Miao and make a living at the dumpling restaurant.

It's just that working in a dumpling restaurant requires you to live in the city, so it's inconvenient to deliver firewood the next day.

When she arrives, she will try to discuss with shopkeeper Miao if she can only work for half a month, and still go out of the city to cut firewood the next day.

Firewood is a must.

No matter where she moves to, she will send firewood to that corner gate, this is the only thing that will not change...

While thinking about this, Ji Mei walked to the end of the main street without knowing it.

At the end of Zhengda Street, facing the gate of Xingyun Palace.

Ji Mei turned a corner while carrying the bundle of firewood, and walked along the side path to the back alley of Xingyun Palace.

Just when she turned the corner, a side door opened to the right of the main entrance of Xingyun Palace, and several horses galloped out from the palace, galloping along the main street towards the city gate.

This team of knights is obviously different from the previous team. There are people on the road who are too slow to avoid them. The leader of the knights whips them to the side of the road. There were many, but there was also a shock.

When the cavalry was about to reach the city gate, the knight who was still the leader tore off a gold medal from his waist and held it high towards the defenders on the gate tower.

Even when they were leaving the city, this group of cavalry didn't slow down at all, and passed like the wind.

The garrison on the city guard is exactly the one who was demoted by the city lord Xing Yan many years ago.

Looking at the long-lasting smoke and dust after the group of cavalry left, the guard shook his head lightly.

The small city soldier who was arranging his armor and preparing to change his guard saw the garrison shaking his head, and asked curiously, "Why is your lord sighing?"

The guard said in a low voice: "Although it is the walking badge of Xingyun Palace that is shining, but the ones who went out this time, at first glance, they are the men and horses of Tang Gongzi."

The small city soldier: "What about Mr. Tang's men and horses?"

The guard withdrew his gaze and murmured to himself: "I don't know who is going to be unlucky again."

This group of cavalry was completely different from the group that went out before, they rushed to the road that Ji Mei pointed out, heading for Jinyun Village.
