It is a chic wooden house.
"It's almost like a fairy tale!" Zi Li sighed.
"His Royal Highness Proton" Author: Mr. Nanmu
Chapter 5 Tuogu
The night was heavy and the moonlight was dim.
On the dark street, a figure wearing a cloak and a hood walked carefully along the wall of the house. Although the pace was hurried, he behaved very cautiously. The occasional small meow would make him stop immediately. At every turn, he clung to the root of the wall and watched for a long time.
I walked through a street intermittently, and when I turned a corner, I saw the General's Mansion with two orange lanterns hung.
The figure turned her head and looked behind him, then tightly hooded and walked quickly into the side door of the alley, knocking the copper ring three times in a hurry, and after a while the small door opened, and the figure quickly got in sideways.
"Tuk Tuk" tapped the door lightly.
"Come in!" Wei Chen raised his head in front of the book case, and the orange candle light fell on his face, making his haggard face a little ruddy.
"Father, what do you need to do when looking for a child?" Wei Zhongchu asked respectfully when he opened the door.
"I received an anonymous letter today," Wei Chen handed the thin note under the book to Wei Zhongchu. "Do you think the above information is credible?"
Wei Zhongchu took it, frowned and read, "The three princes of Beiling are on the Island of Illusion?"
The two looked at each other.
"Where is Huanxu Island? My child has never heard of this place!"
"I have never heard of it, so I checked the maps of various countries and found that there is a place called Huanxu Bay in the lower reaches of the Rujiang River. The preliminary guess is that the Huanxu Island should be in the Huanxu Bay!" Wei Li pointed to the map. A little bit on the road.
Wei Zhongchu frowned when he looked at this place that was two countries away from Beiling.
"How was this letter paper delivered to my father?"
Wei Chen sighed helplessly, "It was sent by carrier pigeons! We can't find out according to the picture!"
"If the news is true, it would be great. If it is false, we will not waste our time in vain?"
"I'm not afraid of wasting time. What I am most afraid of is getting someone else's plan to tune the tiger away from the mountain! With me sitting in the capital, the prince is frantic but somewhat taboo. If I leave, I really don't know what he will do. It's coming!"
"Father, why don't you let the child lead someone to find out the truth?"
"No, there are still many things in the capital that must be handled by you!" Wei Chen said in an unpleasant manner.
"It's better to let a few subordinates go!"
"This is exactly what I am worried about! Chu'er, do you think we have no double-minded people? I have been planning how to rescue the three majesty back to the country for the past few years, but every time it is either blocked by external causes or internally leaked , The most sinister time was when the eldest prince’s people were mixed into our people, and the third majesty was seriously injured by a secret arrow. Therefore, we are also unbelievable! This time, no matter whether the matter is true or not, we must not take it lightly to let others take advantage of it!"
As he was talking, there was a report from the housekeeper Zhang: "Master, grandpa is here!"
"Hurry up!"
When he approached the house, Grandpa Wan quickly lifted his hood and said with a trembling voice: "General. Your Majesty... He will soon be finished!"
These words were like thunder blasting above their heads, and the two of them couldn't speak for a long while.
"Your Majesty let the general enter the palace secretly with the old slave!" Grandpa Wan continued to say with a trembling voice.
After finally regaining his sanity, Wei Chen cleared his head and said to Wei Zhongchu, "You must not change before I come back!"
"The boy understands, father!"
In the huge Lingfei Palace, there is only one candlestick emitting dim fire, describing the withered Northern Spirit King lying motionless on the bed, his deep-set eye sockets and protruding cheekbones make him look like a thousand-year-old corpse!
"Your Majesty..." Looking at such a king, Wei Chen, who is so stubborn, couldn't help sobbing! He walked to the dragon bed and knelt down on one knee, "Wei Chen, see your Majesty!"
King Beiling opened his eyes laboriously, slowly turned his neck to look at Wei Chen, and said vaguely: "Help... Help me get up!"
"Yes!" Wei Chen hurriedly got up and Duke Wan helped the Beiling King up and leaned on the bed.
"medicine… "
"...
…Your Majesty, you can’t, you can’t take those medicines anymore! "Grandpa Wan suddenly knelt and cried.
"Medicine? Grandpa Wan, what medicine is your Majesty talking about?" Wei Chen asked urgently.
"General, please persuade your Majesty, your Majesty has always been convinced!"
Wei Chen was shocked, and he was convinced? This is drinking poison to quench thirst! People seem to be refreshed after taking it, but we can see how much the short-term health will cost!
"Your Majesty, how can you..."
"Medicine..." King Beiling looked at Wei Chen weakly but firmly.
After squeezing a fist, Wei Chen rolled his face and said, "Grandpa Wan, take the medicine... to your majesty!"
Grandpa Wan trembling slightly shook out a pill, and finally took it to King Beiling!
In just a few moments, the eyes that were originally muddy became clearer, and the strength also stiffened a lot. After taking a few breaths, King Beiling spoke: "General, I... won't last long! Just before going... let you do two things for me..."
"What is your majesty's order? The minister must not humiliate his mission!" Wei Chen looked at him in pain and clasped his fists.
"Under my...under my pillow, there is a letter... You must find the Three Emperors and give it to the novice!"
"Chen Zongzhi!" Wei Chen quickly took the letter submitted by Grandpa Wan and put it into his close-fitting jacket.
"The second thing... I want your support. After the three emperors ascended the throne, I will become the new king of the North Spirit!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, you are crushed, and the minister will certainly obey the Holy Order!" Wei Chen solemnly nodded with red eyes.
"... OK, OK! Remember your vows today!" King Beiling finished his instructions, he was a little relieved, and then said again, "You will leave the capital immediately... Find the queen and protect him to the frontier... Waiting for my death. After the news is published... I will hold him back to Beijing to become the throne! Remember, I will find him soon... I have run out of time..."
"Kang—" With an empty echo, Wei Chen closed the palace gate with a deep heart. Behind him, the scorching eyes of the Beiling King seemed to be deeply imprinted on the bottom of his heart through the darkness!

As soon as it was light, Uncle Quan carried a pole and came to the open space of this small ferry to set up a tea stall.
In this cold weather, it would be best if the passenger can hold a cup of hot tea with a few meat-stuffed buns to warm the stomach. Although the small business is not booming, it is not too deserted, just not at a loss! Besides, he has opened a tea stall here for decades, and he has no plans to change his career once he has feelings!
Set up the bamboo-strip steamer and blow up the fire, the dough will start to expand slowly, and finally it will swell into snow-white and soft buns.
The water used to make the tea boiled, and when you lifted the lid, the tea leaves had stretched out into green leaves, steaming straight up with the water vapor of the tea fragrance, and the smell made people feel comfortable.
Looking up at the misty surface of the river, a long golden line has appeared where the water meets the sky, and the sun will come out soon! The light like gold is really heartwarming when you think about it!
"Old man, just ask, is this called Huanxuwan?" Uncle Quan, who was squinting at the horizon, suddenly heard a polite but low voice from behind.
"Hey?"
Looking back, it was terrible. When did so many people come? They are all riding tall horses. A burly and serious man was sitting on a tall horse, followed by dozens of straight-faced young boys.
"Old man, just ask, is this place called Huanxuwan?" Seeing Uncle Quan's open mouth and startled, the leader asked again.
"Ah, oh, yeah, this is Huanxuwan! Look at your costumes from outside, right?" Uncle Quan immediately became sick when he saw the stranger, regardless of whether they would listen or not. It opened, "You don’t know, this bay has a great background. According to legend, it’s the place where fairies take showers. Don’t believe me, it’s said that a descendant named An Lang saw him with his own eyes before.
