The familiar breath came faintly, and she suddenly woke up from her dream.
It's Mo Chuan!
When he opened his eyes, what he saw was Mo Chuan's tall nose and those bottomless eyes.
"Mo Chuan, you are finally back." She muttered and asked, "What time is it now?"
Mo Chuan stroked her hair and said with a smile, "It's almost dawn."
"Where did you go and why did you come back? You... didn't sleep all night, right?" Shen Ning calmed down and realized that Mo Chuan was covered in dust, as if he had run a long way, and he was still carrying The smell of night dew.
"Well, I'm dirty, don't touch it. I'll take a shower and come back."
Mo Chuan pressed her on the bed, covered her with a quilt, then turned around and left, entering the clean room next to her.
When he appeared in front of her again, he had already bathed and was wearing a snow-white cocoon silk underwear. His long black hair was still wet, and his clean face looked more and more handsome.
Shen Ning picked up a dry towel and wiped his hair while asking, "Did you travel a long way? Where did you go?"
Mo Chuan sat on the edge of the bed, staring at her with gentle eyes, but he couldn't hide the worry in his eyes.
He hesitated for a moment, then held her hand and called, "Ning'er."
"Huh?" She stopped and looked at him quietly.
"I'm going to tell you something. Don't be surprised when you find out."
"you say."
"Chu Shaoyang... He, he surrendered to the enemy and treason!" Mo Chuan grinded his teeth and finally said it out.
Shen Ning's body trembled slightly, as if she had expected it, and there was no particularly surprised expression on her face.
"You mean, he betrayed Xi Chu? But you don't know where he went?"
"I only received the news this afternoon. It turned out that after he snatched the drawings from the imperial study, he left Kyoto without stopping for a moment. No wonder I sealed off the entire city to search for him, but found nothing. It turns out that he had planned it long ago. , he left the city before the news spread, and he headed south. The news I received was that he had left the border of Xichu. If my prediction was correct, his destination should be... Nan, Yue!" Mo Chuan said two words steadily.
"South Vietnam?" Shen Ning frowned: "How could he go to South Vietnam? Mo Chuan, why are you so sure that he went to South Vietnam?"
Mo Chuan said: "About a thousand miles south from Kyoto, there is a Cangqiong Mountain. As its name suggests, Cangqiong Mountain is really as majestic as the sky, as if falling from the sky. The mountain is steep and steep, and the peak is extremely high. , it is said that even an eagle cannot fly over it. This mountain covers an area of about a thousand miles. Behind the Cangqiong Mountain is not the border of our country of Western Chu, but a vast and boundless forest. Through that forest, there is South Vietnam, so this road can be said to be the shortest route from Xichu to South Vietnam.”
Shen Ning blinked and nodded: "I understand. What you mean is that if we hurry up, we can get there in less than two days and one night from Xichu to Nanyue. I didn't expect that our capital city is so far away from Nanyue." The country is so close, Mo Chuan, didn't you tell me that the South Vietnam Kingdom has always been eyeing us, Xi Chu? Their border is so close to our Kyoto, you are not afraid that one day they will invade Xi Chu from this road and beat us. Caught off guard?"
