However, when Murong Jie was about to leave Kyoto, he saw Prince Luo replace most of the palace guards at lightning speed.
After hearing this news, Murong Jie said, "I really want to see Chu Jing and Old Lady Qin's expressions now."
There was no good expression on Chu Jing's face. He was almost mad with anger. He replaced a large number of his people. Now, only those around Emperor Kangping were his people in the palace.
Naturally, Prince Luo did not dare to replace the people around him, at least not now. If he was forced into a corner, wasn't he afraid that he would really kill Emperor Kangping
On the way to Da Zhou, Murong Jie said to Qin Zhou: "Prince Luo replaced a large number of palace guards this time so that you can leave with peace of mind."
Qin Zhou rolled his eyes at him and said, "You make it sound like I'm going to die."
"Who knows? The Great Zhou is also a dangerous place. I'm afraid there are many people waiting to kill you."
That's true.
Qin Zhou shrugged, "Since I have chosen to come here, I have to go through this dangerous place."
Qin Zhou did not come unprepared this time.
Three thousand people had already entered the Great Zhou as merchants. Moreover, she herself had more than a hundred people with her. It was not excessive for a prince to have more than a hundred people to serve him.
After all, his status is comparable to that of the emperor of the Northern Desert. Your Great Zhou is not so untolerant that it cannot accommodate more than a hundred sturdy "servants".
So, Qin Zhou's side was in great vigour, while Murong Jie, the regent, looked quite shabby.
The secret guards did not show up. Boss Dao stayed behind, bringing only Su Qing, Xiao Tuo, Rouyao and a few others with him. They also presented a mighty force, because King Qi gave him a flock of sheep, which he was driving back along the way.
But compared to Qin Zhou's majesty, he, the regent, always kept his head down.
Well, at least he was returning to his country, and he was bringing a letter of peace with him. Many people were chasing him along the way.
Here I want to talk about Boss Dao. When Murong Jie left, he cried and said that he wanted to return to his country and be with the princess.
Su Qing told him earnestly that this time he had an important mission. After he had accomplished his mission, he could return to Da Zhou and eat whatever meat he wanted, and he could even have some left over for bacon during the winter.
The heart of a foodie is always strong. When he heard that people could eat meat casually, Dao Lao Da’s homesickness was replaced by the desire to eat meat.
He waved his fat hands and saw off Zhou and his group.
The incident in Beimo will last at least half a year, which means that Boss Dao will have to stay in Beimo for at least half a year.
At first, Long Zhuzhu thought that he could go back to Da Zhou and she could go with him to meet her idol, but she didn't expect that Boss Dao was left behind. She was very angry and no longer polite to him as before.
Always finding ways to play tricks on him.
For example, poisonous snakes were placed in his house, and those snakes were eventually roasted and eaten by Boss Dao.
For example, putting a frog in his bath water ended up eating the frog.
For example, while he was eating, he blew pepper powder, and Dao Lao Da sneezed loudly, and two large rice rolls of snot and saliva came out, all of which sprayed on her face. When he sneezed loudly, his butt was also making a loud noise, and the gas in his stomach came out. He kicked the door shut, grabbed Long Zhuzhu and wouldn't let her leave, and she cried and vomited at the same time.
From then on, she was "wholeheartedly convinced" of her cousin. At least, she didn't dare to tease him anymore.
Moreover, Boss Dao's arrogance became increasingly arrogant, and he often called himself "the boss", which was really incredible.
Let’s not talk about that.
By the way, Prince Liang has already made arrangements and is just waiting for Sun Fanger to leave the palace to worship Buddha at Guoan Temple.
King Liang also learned that Guoan Temple was located in a deep mountain outside the capital, and its location was relatively remote. Although there were stone steps leading up to it, behind the Guoan Temple were deep mountains and old forests.
If you want to make some poison, there are most places like this, so King Liang arranged Zi'an to wait in the old forest.
In the deep mountains and forests, there are a lot of mosquitoes, plagues, and poisonous snakes. It is dark and damp because there is no sunlight for a long time.
Although he didn't know when Sun Fang'er would come here, King Liang knew that she would stay in Guo'an Temple for two days. Therefore, no matter how hard it was for Zi'an, he would only wait here for two days.
That's pretty bad.
Fortunately, due to her job in her previous life, she was used to moving around in the old forest, and ordinary poisonous creatures could not get close to her.
And this time Lingli is with me, so it’s not bad.
King Liang naturally came as well. He also arranged for people to keep watch outside. If they saw Sun Fang'er coming, they would notify her immediately.
On the first day, Sun Fang'er didn't come, so the three of them caught a bamboo rat and ate it with relish. It seemed that the Night King smelled the food and came to take a look as well.
To stay overnight, you have to set up a tent, which has been prepared in advance.
After the two tents were ready, they lit a fire and started chatting around it.
After eating, the Night King left, and before leaving, he asked Lingli to watch him carefully.
Lingli is very respectful to the Night King. She may be arrogant in front of Zi'an sometimes, but not at all towards the Night King.
Zi'an asked curiously, "How many years have you followed the Night King?"
"Five years!" Lingli said.
"Five years? Then you have been following him since you were eleven or twelve?"
"I'm twenty years old this year." Lingli lighted the fire, and the flames illuminated her face, which had no pores on it.
"I really can't tell. If you didn't tell me, I would have thought you were sixteen or seventeen at most." Zi'an said while looking at her face.
Lingli raised her head and said, "Princess, feel free to ask anything you want to ask."
Zi'an said: "Nothing, I'm just a little curious, your face..."
"Fake!" Lingli answered without hiding anything.
"Oh!" Seeing her so straightforward, Zi'an continued to ask, "Then what happened to your original face?"
"Does the princess want to see it?"
Zi'an glanced at King Liang and cleared his throat. "If you don't mind, you can take a look."
Just to satisfy everyone's curiosity.
Lingli threw down the fire stick without saying a word and tore off his face.
Zi'an and King Liang looked over and were both stunned.
It was a photo... How should I put it? The facial features were all there, but there was no way to identify them. The eyes hadn't changed, but the nose and mouth seemed to be missing. No, the mouth was there, but it was the same color as the rest of the face. If you didn't open your mouth or look closely, you couldn't see it.
There is no bridge in the nose, the skin is a little red, and even blood can be seen.
"What's wrong with your face?" Zi'an asked.
"You're disfigured." Lingli put on the human skin mask and said lightly.
Zian inhaled, "Disfigured?"
"Yes, my nose was cut off, my mouth was cut off, and my face was burned. Later, I met my master, who took me to see old Prince An Ran. He cured me, but I couldn't restore my previous appearance."
Lingli said it very lightly, as if she was not talking about herself.
Zi'an didn't expect Lingli to have gone through such a painful experience. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought up your sad memories."
"What's there to be sad about? I only lived a good life after I was disfigured." Lingli smiled faintly.
