It wasn't until the old woman was completely invisible after turning a few turns that Yunshang found a relatively hidden place and summoned the hidden guard.
"Have you been guarding it all this time?"
"Yes." The leader of the dark guards lowered his head and replied, "I have been following the empress and His Highness not far away, not daring to reveal my whereabouts."
Yun Chang nodded: "Last night, did you see people going in and out of that yard?"
"Yes. The subordinates also sent someone to follow the man, but the man went straight into the Wu Clan. We were worried that there were some guards around the Wu Clan so that we could not detect it. We were afraid of scaring the snake, so we didn't follow in."
Yun Shang nodded: "Do you still remember that person's appearance?"
The secret guard has always done things properly, and after hearing Yunshang's question, he has already taken out a portrait and presented it up.
Yun Shang unfolded the portrait and took a look, Fang nodded lightly: "Okay, write it down, tear up the portrait."
The dark guard followed Yun Shang: "Where are you going, master?"
Yun Chang paused slightly: "Follow this road, keep going, and you will reach a town."
"Yes, that place is called Changyuan Town, just north of Qinxi City."
Yun Chang nodded: "The old woman asked me to go to that town to find a carriage. The old woman's identity is not simple. She and her grandson had doubts about my identity before, and there was an ulterior secret hidden in her yard. Naturally, I don’t dare to be careless. I’m worried that there are people from her watching in that town, and if I don’t show up in the town, maybe she will find out soon.”
"So, even if it's just a show, I have to go there."
Yunshang squinted her eyes: "Although the news in a big city is relatively fast and complete, it may not be true that this kind of small town can't find out any news at all. Now I don't know how to sneak into the Wu Clan quietly. , so I want to go to that town to see if there are any clues and ideas."
"When you inquire about news, don't get too close to the witch clan. Be careful and don't expose yourself."
"Yes." The dark guard responded in a low voice, and as soon as Yunshang raised his hand, they immediately disappeared in place.
When Yunshang arrived in the town, it was already past noon, and they hadn't eaten yet, so they randomly found a noodle restaurant at the entrance of the town to eat noodles. While waiting for the noodles, Yunshang checked the situation of the town.
The town is a little less prosperous than the city, but it has a little more life.
There are some lanterns hanging in the town, and the faces of people coming and going are also a little bit happy. Many people are still carrying baskets with colorful fabrics and needles in them.
"What are you doing?" Yun Shang was really curious.
There is no staff in the noodle restaurant, only a middle-aged couple is there, one is responsible for cooking the noodles, and the other is serving.
Hearing Yun Shang's question, the woman couldn't help laughing: "Today is the Qixi Festival, and everyone is preparing for the night's begging."
Yun Chang was taken aback for a moment, and after counting the days, it was indeed already July.
Yun Chang lowered her eyes and smiled: "I've been on the road all day, but my life is muddled."
"It's like this after we get married and have children. Days like Qixi Festival have nothing to do with us." The woman smiled: "Although there are not many people in our town, it's just a festival. The atmosphere is not bad, I see you unfamiliar, you should be passing by from other places, if you are not in a hurry, you can stay and participate together."
Yun Chang nodded: "It was a passerby from other places. I originally planned to find a carriage in the town today and go north to go home, but after hearing what you said, it seems quite interesting. It's rare to meet, so stay and have a look It doesn't matter."
"Haha, it doesn't matter." The woman was enthusiastic: "If you want to stay in a hotel, I can recommend you to live upstairs. The upstairs is the highest place in our town. You can ask the shopkeeper to give you a place to stay." You have a higher room. There is a Lantern Festival tonight. Standing on the upper floor, you can overlook our entire town. There are lanterns everywhere on the streets. It's beautiful."
Yun Chang thanked the woman, and after eating the noodles, she took Chengye to find the upstairs, and asked for a higher room as she said.
There are three floors upstairs, which are actually not too high, but the town is not big, but as the noodle shop owner said, you can overlook the whole town.
In the afternoon, Yunshang strolled around the town. The town was not big, and they walked through it in about an hour, but they didn't find out any news. In this town, Yunshang didn't even see a single Wu clan member.
Yun Chang frowned, wondering if her judgment was wrong.
It was getting dark late at night, and before it got dark, the lanterns on the street were lit up, and there were more people coming and going.
In fact, Yunshang doesn't like too many people. In addition, she is the only one with Chengye, and the hidden guards can only hide far away. It is really not safe, so Yunshang simply took Chengye back. After leaving the inn, he moved a rocking chair and sat on the terrace of the inn.
There are lanterns everywhere on the street, looking down from a height, it looks like a river of lights.
"Mother, is this the Milky Way?" Chengye blinked, his eyes were reluctant to blink.
Yun Shang laughed amused by his childish words: "Where did you hear the clever words?"
"Ah, I was drinking tea with my mother at a tea shop on the side of the street, and I heard the Weaver Girl Cowherd being sung on the stage opposite."
At that time, Yun Shang was only focused on observing the surroundings and the pedestrians on the street, but she didn't notice.
Although the long river of lanterns is beautiful, it will feel a little tired after looking at it for a long time. Chengye is a little sleepy, so Yunshang is going to take him to sleep.
Just when he stood up, he saw a Kongming lantern rising slowly in the distance.
"Mother, look quickly, what a big lantern!"
Yunshang laughed again, and then saw Kongming lanterns rising slowly from all over the town one after another.
Kongming lanterns come in various colors, and hundreds of Kongming lanterns are raised one after another, which is so beautiful that people are shocked.
"It's so beautiful..." Chengye murmured.
Yun Chang couldn't help laughing: "When I was in the palace before, didn't I see it? It's better than this, and I've seen a lot of them."
Chengye blinked: "That's different."
After a pause, he laughed again: "I just remember that before my father and mother were sitting on the Kongming lantern, the Kongming lantern fell down and burned several palaces. Hahaha..."
Chengye was young and his memory was not very good, but he remembered this matter very clearly.
Yun Shang was also a little helpless, she only raised her hand to stroke Chengye's hair, but raised her head, her eyes fell on the Kongming Lantern floating in the sky, but she suddenly had an idea.
I can't enter the land, but I can still go to this day...
