The four people sitting on the second floor listened carefully because they heard Yu Lianshan mentioned.
At the end, Gu Qingci said: "This is the Yu Lianshan we are going to?"
Princess Liuyue sneered, and the corners of her lips curled up quickly, "Of course it is. Could it be that there are still two Yuer Mountains in Yulian Mansion?"
Gu Qingci hated this princess to death, so she retorted with a sarcasm on her face, "The princess is amazing, she actually knows more than the people in Yu Lianfu!"
"Knowing much is better than ignorance."
"I'm afraid that some people don't know how to talk nonsense." Gu Qingci refused to give up.
Li Cheng saw that Gu Qingci was about to quarrel with someone again, so he called out: "Guanguan."
Gu Qingci quickly looked away, looking demure and well-behaved.
She knew that Li Chengze would not be angry, and Xianggong would never let others bully her.
Lord Qing also gave Princess Liuyue a few words.
The two girls quarreled, but he didn't think it was a big deal. He just said to Li Chengze: "According to what the person downstairs said, he went to Yulian Mountain recently. Why don't we invite someone to ask about the situation? Or go into the mountains in a few days and let this person lead the way?"
Li Cheng smiled after hearing this, and said, "Then follow what the prince said."
After eating, the four of them left the restaurant. Prince Qing gestured to the guard behind him. The guard understood it, and immediately went to stare at the strong man who spoke just now.
Li Chengze and Prince Qing separated and acted independently.
Gu Qingci didn't have the energy to go shopping. After the two went to the teahouse to find Yuanbao in the teahouse, they went back in a carriage.
The next day, it was Mr. Jiang who hosted the reception banquet for the two princes and Lord Yan, because the third prince had instructed not to be too extravagant and not to entertain guests.
So Mr. Jiang only took a few low-level officials, held a reception in another courtyard, set up a stage, and invited a troupe to sing a few times.
Turning around to discuss business matters, the second and third princes called several entourages including Li Chengze together.
One is to discuss and discuss the next actions, and ask them what they think, and the other is to ask the servants to inquire about the news in the past few days, so that everyone can listen to it.
There are also villages living in the vicinity of Yulian Mountain. Although they are not densely populated, they are not without a little smoke and fire. As long as you go to find someone and ask casually about Yuer Mountain, everyone will always say a few more words.
Ordinary villagers only dare to walk around the periphery of Lianshan on weekdays.
Such a large mountain range, who dares to go in so stupidly, there are not many wild beasts, it would be too long
The outskirts of Julien Mountain are still not accessible, it is a short and low hill, and the terrain is not complicated. Most of the people nearby know where they can't go.
Usually, people come in twos and threes to pick up some firewood, or to pick some wild fruits and mushrooms. Experienced hunters will still be in these cages, and occasionally they can do this pheasant and hare.
"My subordinates asked if anyone dared to enter the mountain, or if we offered money to show someone the way, those people all shook their heads and refused, and none of them dared to respond."
After hearing this, the third prince sighed and said: "They are all ordinary villagers. No matter how brave we are, we can't use our power to bully others. Besides, most of them don't know the roads in the deep mountains, let alone know what's going on."
Li Chengze listened for a while, waited for the third prince to finish speaking, and then took a few steps forward. He said that he met Prince Qing the day before yesterday and overheard him in a restaurant, saying that that person should be taken by Prince Qing's people gone.
The third prince's eyes lit up, he hurriedly called out to the servants around him, and asked someone to go to the next door to invite Prince Qing over.
The servant got the order, nodded in response and hurried away.
Soon Prince Qing and Princess Liuyue came together.
The people sat down, and the maid served tea.
Everyone discussed again, and asked about the man, Prince Qing smiled and said that he was in his yard and had promised to lead them the way.
The third and fifth princes all showed satisfaction.
After confirming it, he said: "Then set off tomorrow, and it will be the same if you wait any longer. Complete the task earlier and go back to explain to the father."
Everyone hurriedly stood up and said yes, everything was led by the third prince.
Even the fifth prince has to listen to the emperor's brother. The reason why the emperor asked the fifth prince to come with him this time is probably because he wanted to experience him. After all, compared with the previous brothers, the fifth prince has a lazy temperament and can't do anything. What a beautiful thing, so this time I threw people together.
Now that we have decided to go to the Julien Mountains tomorrow, we must make preparations before the trip. The first priority is personal safety. The two princes are self-righteous. They cannot tolerate any mistakes, otherwise no one can afford it. He also has to follow, just in case Someone was injured along the way.
So the ten guards had to follow them for personal protection. As for the entourage, two were over forty years old, and the third prince asked them not to follow this time, and only brought Li Cheng with the other two young ones.
Everyone has no objection, as for Yan Guo, they don't have to worry about it.
The number of people was decided, and the third prince handed over the topographical maps drawn from the small sheepskin rolls to Li Chengze and the others, each with a copy.
Everyone has already come, so they will not hide this map anymore. I also know that these people dare not change their minds. To betray the royal family is to make their own family fall into a place of eternal doom. The emperor will not treat people who have different intentions. Mercy.
Li Cheng secretly raised his eyebrows, took the imitation sheepskin scroll from the guard, glanced at the topographic map on it, and then looked at the third prince.
Only the third prince said in a deep voice: "I don't know what will happen when I enter the mountain tomorrow. If everyone gets lost inside, having this thing is always an insurance."
It has to be said that the third prince is a smart man, no, as soon as he said these words, the two old ministers were so moved that they immediately put on an excited look of being willing to do their best for the emperor's family.
In fact, these two people don't need to go into the mountain at all tomorrow, but it's as if they have been beaten.
In the evening Li Chengze went back to his yard, Gu Qingci rushed up to meet him, grabbed Li Chengze's hand and shouted: "Msanggong—"
"Let's go in and talk about it." Li Cheng shook his head lightly.
The two of them didn't close the door when they entered the house, and they didn't let the maid serve in the house.
Gu Qingci asked again: "Master, what did the Third Prince tell you to say?"
Li Cheng said: "I will leave for Yulian Mountain tomorrow. I need to make some preparations. Let's discuss the details."
"I… "
As soon as Gu Qingci said a word, Li Chengze interrupted: "No, you can't follow."
Gu Qingci looked confused, she was never interested in treasure hunting, she just wanted to follow Li Chengze.
But I also know that the deep mountains are very dangerous. On the one hand, I am afraid, and on the other hand, I am worried that something will happen to Li Chengze.
It's not that he wants to go, but that he doesn't want Li Chengze to go.
But she didn't say that, and she knew that it was impossible for Li Cheng not to go.
"Then what should I do, Mr. Xiang, it's so dangerous."
Li Cheng is still not doing well, Gu Qingci feels uncomfortable and worried.
The pitiful crying look on his face immediately made Li Chengze laugh, and he laughed in a low voice.
Gu Qingci pinched the handkerchief in embarrassment, and pushed Li Chengze with his hand, biting his lip, "You still laugh, you still laugh!"
"Okay, okay, I won't laugh at you anymore." Li Chengze hugged Gu Qingci to coax her: "Don't worry, you see, the third and fifth princes are all going, and there are about ten guards following to protect them. If nothing happens, they They carry bows and arrows and crossbows on their backs, don't be afraid."
Gu Qingci hugged Li Chengze's waist with both hands, leaned against Li Chengze's chest, and whispered: "The guards are all protecting the two princes..."
Li Cheng touched the top of her head, "You can't talk nonsense. Be good, and you will stay in the house when I go out tomorrow. This is not the capital after all. I want to go out and take you there after I come back, okay?"
"En." Gu Qingci's voice sounded dull.
After a while of silence, Gu Qingci called again: "Mr.
"Well, what's the matter." Li Cheng said in a gentle voice, full of patience.
"Then you have to come out quickly, don't make me wait."
"Okay." Li Cheng agreed.
Gu Qingci suddenly raised his head and said, "What if we don't find that treasure? Maybe it's not a good thing at all!"
Li Cheng smiled: "What do you think? It's here, it doesn't matter what it is, whether it exists or not, since I have this picture, I have to check it out again." Otherwise, the emperor may have trouble sleeping and eating.
Ordinary people who can withstand the temptation, especially the huge temptation that may surprise you.
Gu Qingci clings to someone for a long time, and Li Cheng allows her to eat a bowl of iced cheese when it's hot at noon, so that people can't stop following him.
Gu Qingci was happy, squinting his eyes, lying on the imperial concubine bed to enjoy, not wearing any shoes, only wearing a pair of white sand-like socks, swinging his legs up.
Li Cheng was looking at the pair of drawn parchment scrolls on the desk, wanting to see if there were any suspicious points hidden in the map.
Although he was looking at the map with all his heart, he seemed to have eyes behind his back and said, "After you finish one bowl, you are not allowed to eat any more."
Gu Qingci had a stomach ache during menstruation before, and then took several months of medicine to recuperate her body. When she was at home, a maid stared at her and refused to let her take it, but she couldn't help her mouth when it got hot, and Li Cheng put it down if she insisted. He was willing to obey obediently after his face.
"Understood." Gu Qingci agreed vaguely, and then dug another spoonful of iced cheese into his mouth.
"Sir, what are you looking at?" After eating the last bite, Gu Qingci put the bowl aside.
He walked over to the case table with his shoes on, and moved to Li Chengze's side.
Li Cheng didn't avoid it either, and just ordered some sheepskin rolls.
"This..." Gu Qingci looked at it and said, "It's that map."
Li Cheng nodded and hummed.
Gu Qingci is not like others, when he hears a man say something important, he may avoid it, or dare not ask in detail.
She was very at ease, instead she took the parchment from the table and looked at it over and over in her hand.
Li Cheng loves her simple appearance that never sees outsiders very much, and never thinks twice when doing things and speaking in front of him, for fear of something wrong.
This person has a true temperament, thinking about what is what.
Li Cheng sometimes thinks that if Gu Qingci is really a person who behaves in every way, every word and every word is so well-behaved that there is no "extraordinary" person, he might not like it.
Maybe it can only be achieved to the point of respecting each other as guests.
In the final analysis, it is due to some traits in Gu Qingci's bones, so although she is stubborn and impatient, Li Chengze is willing to patiently spend time with her and teach her.
The next day, after breakfast, the sun rose and the dew and fog cleared away.
Two carriages and a dozen guards on horseback set off together.
After leaving the city gate, he went to Yulian Mountain.
After Gu Qingci went out from Li Chengze, he looked at the door for a long time before turning back into the courtyard, but he seemed not energetic.
