Empress, she is beautiful Lu Ziye

Buddhism never insists, so after the old monk gave the peace talisman, he just said this sentence calmly, listen to it or not, it is up to the recipient.

Xiao Rongxi took it with both hands, put it on his body, and said in a pious tone, "Thank you, master."

Seeing this, the old monk smiled, got up, hummed a little song and walked out without saying goodbye.

After a while, it disappeared at the end of the long street.

Xiao Rongxi rubbed the peace talisman in his arms, feeling a little absent-minded, why did he feel that this monk seemed to hand over the peace talisman to him on purpose?
Moreover, although the appearance of this talisman was no different from ordinary yellow talismans, it was heavy and extremely hard to the touch, making it difficult to pierce.

Although Xiao Rongxi was puzzled, he didn't think too much. He turned to look at Nan Zhen, and seeing her thoughtful look, he asked, "What's wrong?"

"Putuo Temple is a well-known temple in the capital. Apart from the abbot, there is also an eminent monk who travels all over the world. It is extremely rare to see him, and I have not seen his true face before. You think, it must be this one, right?"

Xiao Rongxi shook his head, "I don't know either. Even though the royal family went to Putuo Temple to pray for blessings every year, they haven't heard from this eminent monk for so many years. It's very low-key."

"Forget it," Nan Zhen sighed, "Since he doesn't want to talk about it, there's no need for us to delve into it. Let's go."

"Ah."

After the two settled the bill, they walked straight towards the inn.

The old monk who disappeared on the long street before appeared at the door of the inn at some point, staring intently at their backs for a moment.

When he was young, General Zeng Mengnan took care of him, but he never found a chance to repay him, but now Nan Zhen and Xiao Rongxi have a close relationship, they are one body, Xiao Rongxi needs this peace talisman more than she does, so giving it as a gift is also considered a fate.

The old monk smiled lightly, looked away, turned around and disappeared into the twilight.

The group rested for two days, and left Ningcheng in the early morning of the third day.

Nan Zhen didn't ask where she was going at first, but when she opened the curtain, the more she looked, the more familiar the road ahead became, so she asked, "Are we going in the direction of Stone City?"

"Well," Xiao Rongxi responded, looked up from the book, and looked at her, "Are you familiar with Stone City?"

Nan Zhen: "I've been here several times."

Stone City is regarded as a hub, with complex people coming and going, there are knight-errants, sects, ocean-going businessmen, and desperadoes.

Mingyue Pavilion has placed a lot of people here. Nan Zhen has done several missions here before, and she is quite familiar with Stone City.

The most important thing is that it is very close to the Valley of Divine Doctors.

Go out from the east of the city and walk straight forward, about five miles away, you will be able to reach the vicinity of the Valley of Divine Doctors.

There are quite a few people who know the location of the Valley of Miraculous Doctors, but not many people can actually enter the valley.Because there are formations and many obstacles around, it is very easy for people to get lost after entering, otherwise people who seek medical advice will have leveled the bottom of the valley.

Thinking of this, Nan Zhen suddenly asked, "I remember that Doctor Yu seems to be from the Valley of Miraculous Doctors?"

Xiao Rongxi nodded, "He is from the Valley of Miraculous Doctors. After we go to Stone City this time, we are going to go into the valley to have a look."

It took a lot of time to leave Beijing and passed through many places, but so far there is no good way to deal with Gu poison.It just so happened that Yu Huaishan received news a few days ago that the genius doctor Gu Guzhu returned from a trip soon, so he wanted to ask a doctor face to face to see if there was a solution.

Naturally, Nan Zhen could also think of this level, so she didn't ask further.

The Valley of Miraculous Doctors... She has been there too, and stayed there for a while, and met a doctor. She hopes that this trip can really solve the hidden danger of Gu poison.

As the evening approached, the forest was quiet and the birds rested, the night gradually surrounded, and the surroundings became quiet.

A carrier pigeon flew from the east, and the flapping of its wings disrupted the tranquility. After finding its target, it soon landed on Feiliu's shoulder.

Fei Liu took off the letter tied to its feet, and after releasing it again, he presented the letter to Xiao Rongxi, "Your Majesty, he is from the capital."

Xiao Rongxi was originally resting on the big rock by the roadside. Hearing this, he put down the water bag. After receiving the letter, he slowly opened it. After a quick glance, he knew the general idea, and handed it to Nan Zhen.

"The Yu family has begun to suspect that I am really sick, or that I have someone pretend to be me and leave the palace to handle business." Xiao Rongxi chuckled, "It is not easy to keep it a secret for so long. After visiting the Valley of Miraculous Doctors, we should also return to the palace. .”

The Yu family already intends to test it out, and the Prince Chen's Mansion should react quickly. Even if the two parties check and balance each other, if there is a gap in the palace, they will take immediate action.

If it takes longer, I'm afraid the capital will be in chaos.

After reading it, Nan Zhen handed the letter back to Fei Liu who was standing beside her, "That's the reason."

She glanced at the sky, estimated the time, and said, "Go along this road and pass through the woods in front of you. It will take you an hour to arrive at Stone City. Should we go straight on the road, or rest on the spot for a night?" ?”

There are mixed fish and dragons in the stone city, and the management is relatively loose. Although the city gate will be closed at night, if you want to enter the city, there is a bypass.

It is dark and early in winter, even if the twilight hits now, it is only Youshi, so it is not too late to go to the city.

Xiao Rongxi thought for a while, got up and said, "Go ahead, it may not be safe here at night."

Stone City is in chaos, and the outskirts of the city are not a peaceful place. You may encounter robbers or seek revenge, which will cause trouble for no reason. Why don't you go to the city at night and find an inn to settle down.

"it is good."

Nan Zhen followed closely into the carriage, whipped her whip, and urged the horse to gallop forward.

After walking about five miles, we entered a dense forest.

The branches are slanted like canine teeth, and a layer of mist floats in the low sky, covering all the people who enter the woods, showing a bit of depression for no reason.

When people step into it, their breathing becomes lighter unconsciously.

Halfway through the journey, the horse suddenly let out a low snort, and stopped moving its hooves. It seemed that it sensed the danger. The two people in the car who were resting with their eyes closed also opened their eyes at the same time.

"Your Majesty," Fei Liu lowered his voice, "The dark guards are here to report that there are confrontations ahead."

I considered this situation before I set off, but I didn't expect to encounter it so soon.

"Well," Xiao Rongxi responded, "It's very loud?"

Fei Liu: "There are quite a few people, and they seem to be fighting for something. The dark guards can only vaguely judge that one of them is a member of the Red Ghost League."

"Ok?"

Nan Zhen frowned in doubt, and gradually sat up straight, her intuition told her that this matter should not be simple.

The Red Ghost League can be regarded as a respectable organization. There are very few such things as robbery. What is so tempting that they all make a move?
She continued, "Any more news?"

"No, still investigating."

Seeing her pensive look, Xiao Rongxi said, "Want to go and see?"

Nan Zhen nodded, "Your Majesty, drive the carriage around them and enter the city first, I'll go and observe."
