In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, most of Gu Qingci's Party chose to avoid the busy city. Therefore, in addition to the necessary rest, the whole journey was basically a day and night journey.

Seven days later, the party finally arrived at the foot of Heming mountain.

After getting off the carriage, looking at the mountains not far away, Gu Qingci frowned and moved his limbs to stretch his muscles and bones.

Although the carriage was specially improved by Xiao Zhenghan and a Zhu, it was very tiring to drive for so many days. Fortunately, she had fully adapted to the rhythm of the times and had no strong initial discomfort.

Liangjiang and Zhuling also helped each other to get out of the carriage. Although both of them were exhausted, they did not have any complaints along the way, and they persisted.

Liangjiang's physical foundation is stronger. She holds Zhuling for a few steps and then walks to Gu Qingci with her spirit. "Miss, we're almost there after crossing Heming mountain."

Gu Qingci sat on a stone, slowly gnawing at a wild fruit in his hand, nodded his head and said, "thank you for going ahead of us. It must have arrived."

Yesterday, she and Xie Di confirmed the route, and then let Xie Di ride to the ghost city, in order to contact Xiao Zhenghan in advance.

Looking at the sky dyed red by the sunset, Gu Qingci twisted his eyebrows and said: "it's getting late. We're not familiar with Heming mountain. We'd better find a place to spend the night tonight, and then go to the devil's city tomorrow morning."

Xie Tian nodded, "I'm going to explore the way ahead."

Soon, Xie Tian came back on his horse, "Princess! There is a mountain temple in front of me. I can see that there is no incense, but it's clean and tidy, so I can stay for the night! "

Gu Qingci nodded, got up, patted the ashes on his body, and said, "then go to the mountain temple for the night."

With that, Gu Qingci was about to walk towards the carriage, but before she stepped forward, she narrowed her eyes, as if someone was behind her!

But when she turned very quickly and looked back, there was only a bush behind her, and she could see her head at a glance.

Is it that she is so alert that she is too alert? Gu Qingci shakes his head and shakes off this idea. After all, the Heming mountain seems to have no village, and a mountain road is covered with more than half of the weeds. It is not like a place where other people will appear.

"Liangjiang, Zhuling, let's go."

Picking wild fruit two people nodded, picked up some of the fruit dropped on the ground, and walked quickly toward Gu Qingci.

When we arrived at the mountain temple, the sky was already slightly dark. Xie Tian took two dead men to the nearby stream and caught some fish. At this time, the fire of Liangjiang and Zhuling was also on fire.

Zhu Ling looked at the dark area that the fire couldn't reach with some fear

Gu Qingci, with a leaf in his mouth, leaned over to watch the fire slowly rising, "there is nothing to be afraid of. Since ancient times, only people have harmed people. How can ghosts and gods harm people?"

Bamboo Ling nods, is also, the world's most hateful is those villains.

Seeing that his young lady seemed to be in a better mood, Liangjiang said in a hurry: "Miss, do you have any ideas? In the past, miss can cook delicious food with any idea she wants

Zhuling quickly followed the words of Liangjiang and said, "yes, I ate dry food a few days ago. I don't know if I have a good mouth today? Miss, think about it

Both of them watched Gu Qingci's silence all the way. They knew that the news of King Jing's death was a great blow to their young lady, but they didn't want her to be so depressed.

The light of fire reflected in Gu Qingci's eyes, more and more set off the clarity of her eyes. Looking at the expectant eyes of Liangjiang and Zhuling, Gu Qingci shook off the constant emotion in her mind and said with a smile, "OK, I'll try."

She also knew the worries of these two girls. Along the way, the two girls were very careful, for fear of touching the bottom of her heart.

Gu Qingci took a deep breath and warned herself again that the matter was not settled. Besides, it was obvious that there was something wrong with her. She should keep her spirits up!

As they were all living on dry food a few days ago, the food and seasonings that Lin Fangjian had brought for easy storage were useless. Gu Qingci picked some spices and seasonings from the bamboo basket and then went back to the fire.

Looking at Xie Tian, who was dealing with the fish, she said, "half of the fish is boiled and the other half is roasted."

After a while, Xie Tian quickly handed over the treated fish, and the rest of them also looked at Gu Qingci with wide eyes. After staying in the king's mansion for a long time, who didn't know Princess Jing's accomplishments in food, otherwise, who would come from Renhe medicinal restaurant, which is famous in the capital city.

Gu Qingci dealt with the spice bag in his hand, put the mixed spice into the gauze bag, and tied the bag mouth with a clean cotton rope, "OK, I'll use this pot bottom for a while."

Then she asked Xie Tian, who had the best knife skills, to deal with the fish fillets. Xie Tian's knife work was excellent. After a while, the whole fish was broken down into pieces of crystal clear fillets.

At this time, the vegetable soup cooked by Zhuling began to boil. Gu Qingci quickly threw the spice bag in his hand, and in a short time, a strong aroma came out of the pot.

Naturally, these spices are not ordinary things. They are dried after the second processing by the cooks in the medicated food restaurant. On weekdays, they only need to be re mixed and then added appropriately.Gu Qingci, on the one hand, instructs Liangjiang to put fillets into the pot. On the other hand, she carefully spreads seasonings on the other fish. After finishing the treatment, she puts the fish on a simple grill built with wooden sticks in advance.

After finishing the roast fish, she asked Xie Tian to slice all the steamed bread left over a few days ago and sprinkle a little salt on it.

After finishing all this, Gu Qingci got up and patted the ash in his palm, "done."

Soon, all kinds of fragrance gradually drifted out.

Boiled fish fillet first, Gu Qing asked Liang Jiang to give everyone a big bowl. There were not only fish fillets in the soup, but also a lot of fresh wild vegetables. People who had been running around for many days soon ate all of them.

At this time, it was better to bake steamed bread. Gu Qingci added soup to the people again after dividing the steamed bread. Eating the steamed bread with the soup juice was naturally a different delicacy.

Finally, a good roast fish is the finishing touch. People sit around the fire and eat all the fish.

Gu Qingci looked at the scene in front of his face, and his mind was also calmed down by the fire.

Through the firelight, she seemed to see mu xuanjing's cold and handsome face again. In fact, from a very early time, whenever he looked at her, his cold eyes would always be different. It seemed that she could always see her heart and see through her soul. After a long time, she realized that it was the temperature rising from the bottom of her heart

After a meal, everyone had a rest. After all, they had to rush on the road early tomorrow morning. Several men who were in charge of shift duty slept near the door. Gu Qingci, Liangjiang and Zhuling laid a blanket in the clean corner inside.

The night is getting deeper and deeper. Because of the drizzle before, the water drops from the eaves fall into the old censer. Gu Qingci can't sleep. He simply closes his eyes and listens to the regular water drops.

Suddenly, the sound of water drops was interrupted for a moment, but Gu Qingci's eyes suddenly opened in the dark.

Sure enough, she felt the extra breath.

Someone's coming in!
