Chapter 149

Pulling off the piece of sheepskin, under the moonlight, I saw many words and symbols painted on the sheepskin that Yun Qing could not understand.So Yun Qing could only stuff the sheepskin into the skirt of his clothes first, then pulled up the rope and quickly climbed up the cliff.

Back on the mountain road, Silver Sable eagerly circled her, as if smelling the smell of sheepskin on her body, thinking that she had brought back prey.

Yun Qing helplessly raised his hand and patted its head, saying: "Be good, it's not safe here."

Silver Sable understood Yun Qing's words, and immediately quietly jumped into the fur bag on the saddle, poked his head out, and watched the surrounding movement vigilantly with faintly flickering green eyes.

After walking for a while, Yun Qing finally came to the village and small town at the foot of the mountain. Following the directions on the map, he walked another mile and arrived at the pass of Wuxia Mountain. When he exited Wuxia Pass, he was in the snowy area of ​​Northern Chu. , and officially set foot on the territory of Chu State.

After a day's driving, Yun Qing was already a little tired, and once she entered the snowy area of ​​Beichu, she had to be cautious at all times, so she planned to find an inn to let her tired body recover before she started on her way.Leading the horse and walking slowly in the quiet town, the cold north wind is blowing, like a devil may cry, and the restaurant that is still lit in the snow not far away is very eye-catching.

Yun Qing stepped forward through the thick snow, only to see that the lantern shaking a little bit by the wind and snow reflected the ancient plaque: post house.

"Hey, this distinguished guest from afar must have come to stay here. This is the only resting inn in Wuxia Mountain. Would you like to come in and rest?" Yun Qing just walked to the door of the inn, and saw In the brightly lit waiting hall, a tall man in a gray fur coat with a simple and honest face ran out and said with a smile on his face.

Yun Qing threw the rein in his hand to him, and said in a slightly hoarse voice due to the cold: "Prepare a room and hot water."

"Okay." The waiter in the shop was very enthusiastic, and then he called Yun Qing's horse to the shop, and said, "One room, prepare hot water..."

"My lord, please come inside." At this moment, another man wearing a rat fur hat who heard the sound came out to welcome Yun Qing into the post house with great enthusiasm, took the key from the shopkeeper, and led Yun Qing Qing went upstairs, then stopped in front of a room with the word Tian printed on it, and opened the door to invite Yun Qing into the room.

"My lord should be from the Middle Earth. We are the only post house in Wuxiaguan, and the people who stay here are businessmen from various countries, so if you need anything, just call down to the lobby. The younger ones are all welcome. It's the night watchman." Seeing that Yun Qing was petite, with a sharp and fair face, he could tell he was from the Central Plains at a glance, so he was afraid that he would be shy, so he said a bunch of words to comfort her.

Yun Qing smiled slightly, handed over a few pieces of silver and stepped forward, saying: "Please trouble the little brother."

The waiter in the shop cheerfully took the money, gave Yun Qing a few more instructions, and then withdrew from the door, closing the door.

Yun Qing took a look at the room. The life of the people in the northern countries is very different from that of the people in the Central Plains. The bed is made of high-quality bearskin and wool, and a conical moon-white silk curtain hangs on it, and a small desk. A few days ago, there were two tiger skin cushions. There were no chairs or couch. Even the screen was sewn with squirrel fur. The slightly rough calligraphy and painting showed that this country does not pay attention to the atmosphere of writing and ink, but exquisite carvings However, the purple red copper furnace shows that the technology of smelting iron and copper is very advanced.

Silver Sable crawled out of Yun Qing's burden, shook the long hair on his body that was slightly erected due to being squeezed, and then cautiously wandered around every corner, jumping when he didn't find the slightest danger. He got on the fur-covered bed, lying on his stomach comfortably, with a long snow-white tail dragging on the quilt, flapping up and down every now and then.

Yun Qing was also tired. After packing up her things, she took out the piece of sheepskin, unfolded it on the bed, looked at the strange words and symbols on it by the slightly swaying horn lamp, and searched in her mind whether she had ever I have seen these words, but after a while, I folded the sheepskin to no avail.

The eighth prince returned to court... Yun Qing trembled her fine long eyelashes, and the weak words in the icy cold wind immediately echoed in her mind. However, just as she raised her eyebrows and wondered who the eighth prince was, Have you ever heard of her name, a flash of spiritual light flashed in front of her eyes, and then she sat up with a cry.

Yin Sable was taken aback by Yun Qing's sudden movement, and saw his body as white as a cotton ball leaping up with a whoosh under the light, and a pair of innocent gray-black eyes staring closely at his master.

The eighth prince... Among all the countries, almost none of the princes has the eighth prince, but seven years ago, before the death of the king of Chu, it seems that there was a decree that all the princes who were abroad should recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors. Among them, there is the eighth prince Chu Huan who is known as the "virtuous king".However, the eighth prince led troops to garrison at the frontier of Chu State all the year round, facing the ferocious tribe led by the famous Xiongnu King Salu, so the eighth prince was believed by the people of Chu State as the "Patron Saint of Chu State".

Could it be that the eighth prince mentioned by the soldier before he died was Chu Huan, Marshal of Northern Chu?

And at this moment, Yun Qing suddenly thought of Lan Jin and the others.That indifferent man left the grassland two hours before the caravan, and when Yun Qing followed, he saw the bloody corpses scattered all over the cliff. Could this be a coincidence?Are those men in black and the three men in black she saw in the moonlit night that day accomplices?

Just as Yun Qing's thoughts were spinning, the shop waiter had already brought in the food and hot water. Seeing someone coming, Yin Sable got under the bed with a whoosh.

"Guest officer, the hot water is here. If you need anything else, just tell me." After being busy for a while, the waiter lit the copper stove in Yun Qing's room with charcoal, and then left respectfully.

After seeing off the shop waiter, Yun Qing felt a little sore in his muscles and bones, so he took the medicinal materials sent by Pharmacist Hua, boiled them in hot water, poured them into a bucket, and then took off his heavy clothes and soaked them in the bucket.

Seven years ago, Yun Qing spent every day in the medicine jar. Because her body was eroded by the extreme chill, she often coughed and felt chills all over her body. Yunshan’s unique snow lotus was used as medicine, and pills were made into pills. They were boiled in hot water every day and soaked in hot springs. In this way, it took five full years to get rid of the poison of cold yin from her body. Dispelled in the immature body.

Yun Qing sat in the bucket and closed his eyes to rest. After feeling that his whole body was warm and the pain between his knees was relieved, he got up and changed into a black nocturnal outfit with a fox fur coat and long damp hair. Draped behind him, still wet with drops of water.
