The secret realm, Liu Qiaoer didn’t know where it was.
However, when Liu Qiaoer gave the map to Zhao Ziyu, she had a vague feeling that this place was related to her.
And that place was also the place where the ancient Shu civilization existed.
I remember Du Zixu said that their crossing base seemed to be there.
Liu Qiaoer has wanted to go to this place for a long time.
Zhao Ziyu asked Liu Qiaoer to die again and revive through another corpse. Liu Qiaoer couldn't guarantee whether she could survive, so she said she wanted to go to this place to take a look.
What Zhao Ziyu wants is the secret of eternal life, not Liu Qiaoer's life.
Agreed.
The world is at peace. After Lu Yunzheng handed over the military power, he wanted to break off the engagement with Princess Mingxin.
The emperor was furious and ordered Lu Yunzheng to go to Shu to build a reservoir to make up for his mistake.
Among the group, besides Lu Yunzheng, there was also Liu Qiaoer and Tuoba Xiao who had been sticking to Liu Qiaoer.
Doctor Zhu of Yaowang Valley and Zhao Ziyu's bodyguard Hong Yuan asked her to protect Liu Qiaoer closely, which was actually to fulfill her supervisory responsibility.
The journey was not rushed, but rather very pleasant.
Liu Qiaoer sat in the spacious carriage, holding her chin, with Lu Yunzheng sitting on her left and Tuoba Xiao sitting on her right.
Tuoba Xiao still looked lazy and relaxed, pointing at the Go board on the table, provoking Lu Yunzheng.
"I heard that you are a top scholar, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Today, let's compete with each other."
Facing Tuoba Xiao's provocation, Lu Yunzheng was not afraid at all: "Okay, let's compete, what will the loser do?"
Tuoba Xiao glanced at Liu Qiao'er and said, "The loser should stay away from her."
Liu Qiaoer rolled her eyes speechlessly.
Lu Yunzheng wanted to take a big gamble: "How about the loser losing the right to get her?"
Tuoba Xiao was about to agree when Liu Qiaoer glared at him: "It's up to you two to decide, but don't use me as a gamble. Is there ever going to be an end to this?"
The rivals become jealous when they meet.
Ever since the two of them got together, there has been no day without quarreling.
When eating, they would compete to see who could eat faster. When traveling, they would ride in a carriage with Liu Qiaoer. The man was still a teenager. Liu Qiaoer felt that the two of them were really like children and extremely boring.
The two of them were playing Go and fighting fiercely. Liu Qiaoer knew nothing about Go, and while she was watching, she fell asleep on the couch.
Just when the two were about to decide who was better.
Suddenly, their way forward was blocked.
She said tenderly, "Lu Yunzheng, I want to go to Shuzhong with you."
Princess Mingxin and her female soldiers and guards actually caught up with them.
Lu Yunzheng was also stunned. Tuoba Xiao on the opposite side suddenly disrupted the chessboard.
"That's great. No need to compare. Your woman is here... Qiao'er, she's mine."
Princess Mingxin was bored staying in the capital. When she heard that Lu Yunzheng was going to Shu to build a reservoir, she volunteered to come along. The emperor neither said no nor said yes.
She actually chased after him.
The capital is not far from Shu. When the group arrived in Shu, the weather was entering summer. Unexpectedly, Shu was still quite cool.
"Sir, we can't go forward today. There is a canyon ahead. It's not safe."
Qi Ze showed Lu Yunzheng the map of the territory. Indeed, the road ahead was very difficult to walk on. There were not many of them, so they had to be careful all the way.
"Okay, there's no post station ahead, so let's set up camp here and move on tomorrow morning."
After giving the instructions, Lu Yunzheng rode his horse to Liu Qiaoer's carriage and knocked on it.
Liu Qiaoer peeked out of the window sleepily: "What's wrong?"
Lu Yunzheng said, "We plan to set up camp here. There are said to be robbers nearby. It's not peaceful. You follow me closely."
Tuoba Xiao drove the carriage and snorted coldly: "Follow you closely? I'm afraid that by then you will be more concerned about that woman than Qiao'er. Don't worry, Qiao'er has me."
When Princess Mingxin first started chasing after him, she looked quite heroic.
She couldn't bear the long journey, but there were only two carriages, one for Liu Qiaoer and one for Doctor Zhu.
Lu Yunzheng actually discussed with Liu Qiaoer and asked Princess Mingxin to go with her.
Liu Qiaoer just glanced at him lightly and locked the car windows and doors.
Tuoba Xiao sneered at Lu Yunzheng and said, "You are really interesting. Since you care so much about that woman, why don't you buy her a carriage with your own money? Qiao'er won't sit with her enemy."
"If she can't help killing someone, none of us can stop her. Who will dare to take the blame when His Majesty blames her?"
Since then, Liu Qiaoer rarely paid attention to Lu Yunzheng on the road.
Sometimes he would play chess with Tuoba Xiao in the carriage, and most of the time he would sleep. Liu Qiaoer found that this body was weaker than Liu Qiaoer, and it was tiring to sit in the carriage all the time.
She always felt bored sleeping during the day and at night.
Stretching and about to get off the carriage, Tuoba Xiao instinctively reached out his hand to her.
Unexpectedly, Liu Qiaoer accidentally stepped on the hem of her skirt and fell forward. Fortunately, Tuoba Xiao reacted quickly, caught her and carried her down from the carriage.
"careful."
Tuoba Xiao looked at Liu Qiao'er's face and found that her eyes were a little dazed. He touched her forehead with his hand and asked, "Why is it a little hot?"
Liu Qiaoer exhaled: "I do feel a little uncomfortable. I don't know why I feel more and more sleepy the more I walk."
Tuoba Xiao saw that the tent was already set up, so he picked her up and said, "I'll take you to the tent."
On the other side, Lu Yunzheng had been worried about Liu Qiaoer. When Liu Qiaoer fell off the carriage, his instinctive reaction was to help her up. However, when he saw her being caught by Tuoba Xiao, his eyes suddenly dimmed.
His brows furrowed slightly, and he felt a sense of suffocation for no reason.
"Hurry up, patrol officers, please be careful around here."
Princess Mingxin got off the carriage, came to Lu Yunzheng, and looked at him resentfully.
"I heard from them that there are not enough tents. Can I sleep in one tent with you?"
Anyway, they are an engaged couple, so Princess Mingxin doesn't have to worry about her reputation.
Lu Yunzheng frowned even more tightly, feeling somewhat impatient.
"It's because the people you brought didn't bring tents. We stayed at the post station on the way, but there were not enough places to set up camp. You and your people will be allocated four tents, and you can arrange them yourselves."
This means that she is not allowed to be with him.
Princess Mingxin saw that in the entire tent, only Liu Qiaoer was independent. Apart from her and her subordinates, Liu Qiaoer was the only woman.
"How about I talk to Princess Qingyue and share a tent with her?"
Lu Yunzheng didn't say anything. Princess Mingxin thought he agreed, and happily walked into Liu Qiaoer's tent without even saying hello.
But she had just gone in and soon came out with a red face.
She came to Lu Yunzheng shyly: "Oh, I'm so shy. I didn't expect that Princess Qingyue and her guards were so close. They actually, actually... It's not even dark yet..."
Princess Mingxin blushed and stamped her feet.
An indescribable picture emerged in Lu Yunzheng's mind. Without even catching his breath, he prepared to go find Tuoba Xiao to settle the score.
But he was stopped by Princess Mingxin: "Where are you going?"
Liu Qiaoer's current identity is the daughter of the Sixth Prince. Due to her frail health, she comes to Medicine King Valley for medical treatment again. Tuoba Xiao is her personal bodyguard.
Lu Yunzheng: "How dare a mere guard covet the princess? I'll go and take a look."
