The blue sky hung above their heads. No matter how they stretched out their hands, they could not touch it, making it feel unreachable. White clouds floated gently, forming various shapes. Birds flew by in groups. Although they were small, they were playing with the entire sky.
Gu Moran and the others walked out of Shengyang City and headed towards Liao City at a leisurely pace. The horse hooves stirred up the dust on the official road. The trees on both sides were neat and orderly, and the brilliant and enchanting peach blossoms bloomed on the branches. It was as if the next step was not Liao City but a paradise of peach trees. The forest in the distance was also particularly beautiful, making the Empress and Princess who were locked in the Imperial Palace look very energetic.
The wind blew, and peach blossoms rained down from the sky, blurring his eyes. Tao Yao, who was sitting on a snow-white horse, reached out to catch the falling peach blossoms. His slender fingers sent them into his rose-colored lips. His amorous peach blossom eyes blocked the infatuation, but it added to his charm. The little princess, who had been paying attention to him, was once again absent-minded, and her small face exploded with redness.
Yuanyuan could not help but hold her forehead when she saw this. She turned to Mei Sheng beside her and said weakly," This fellow is definitely a femme fatale. Look at that little princess. She's been harmed so badly that she can't even find her soul."”
Mei Sheng smiled but did not say anything. A look of agreement appeared in her eyes, but Tao Yao retorted unhappily," You're the one who's a femme fatale. If I want to harm someone, I'll harm Xiao Xi Xi. That princess can go wherever she wants."”As she spoke, she looked at the black cat in Gu Moxi's arms.
"Ugh, I'm so disgusted. I don't care who you harm, as long as it's not a lady.”Yuanyuan retched exaggeratedly. Her face was full of disgust, but she did not forget to protect Lan Xi.
Tao Yao turned her head and snorted indifferently. She rolled her eyes and thought of some evil idea. Her smile became even more flirtatious. However, Shangguan Yibing's words made her smile freeze.
"Speaking of which, I haven't paid the room fee for Taoyao yet.”
"Stupid fox, when did you pay for the room?”He gritted his teeth in anger.
"It's something targeted at you." Leisurely, leisurely, the clouds are light and the wind is light.
"This Young Master will kill you." Mo Ya rushed over to fight.
The commotion here quickly attracted everyone's attention. Riding on the red rabbit horse, Gu Moran looked at the two people who were fighting and asked in confusion," What happened to them?”
Gu Mo Xi looked at him as if she was used to it and said irresponsibly," Ignore them. They are in love with each other."”
The surroundings were silent. The group of people's mouths twitched and their expressions were quite ugly. They thought to themselves that these two people looked quite outstanding. Why didn't they learn from the other party? Tsk tsk, what a pity. Sweat! If Tao Yao and Shangguan Yibing knew about this, they would go crazy. They were not gay, they were innocent!
The little princess who was sitting in the carriage did not think so. She fell even more in love with Tao Yao when she saw how brave she was fighting with someone else. The infatuation in her eyes could not be concealed no matter how hard she tried. The corners of her lips could not help but curl up. The empress who was sitting in the same carriage could see it at a glance. She thought that her daughter would miss love when she grew up. She wondered who that red-robed young master was. If it was possible, she would ask the Emperor to issue a decree to bestow her with a marriage.
Amid the laughter, beating, and scolding, the sun had unknowingly climbed to the top of their heads. They found a place with a water source and stopped the team to settle their lunch. The men dismounted, and the Empress and little princess also got off the carriage with the help of the maidservants. The guards and Taoyao Soul Devourer went to hunt for wild game, and the servants prepared to prepare lunch. Some carried water, some carried pots, and their movements were swift and skilled.
On the side of the Lan Mansion, Tao Yao and Shi Hun were responsible for hunting, Mei Sheng and Yuan Yuan were responsible for lighting the fire, and Shangguan Yibing, who claimed to live a comfortable life, also helped out with his fan on his belt. As the steward he brought, he was even more embarrassed to eat ready-made food and obediently followed behind. Only Lan Xi was comfortably sleeping in Gu Moxi's arms.
The little princess saw that her uncle was holding a black cat and looked unhappy. Her good mood of coming out to play was instantly ruined. She snorted and pouted as she asked Gu Mo Xi," Why did Uncle bring it here?"”
Before Gu Moxi could speak, the Empress, who had just gotten off the carriage, quickly pulled the little princess away. She turned around and smiled at him as she whispered something. Although the distance was getting further and further away, Lan Xi could still hear it clearly. She shook her inverted triangular ears and did not take it to heart. As early as the moment the white fox died, she knew that she had a grudge with the little princess, but she did not have the mood to care.
Gu Moran happened to see this scene. He raised his handsome eyebrows and looked at his second brother. He saw that the atmosphere between the man and the cat was so harmonious that it seemed to be natural. He hesitated whether to persuade them again. In the end, he kept quiet because he saw Gu Moxi's eyes were filled with unrelenting determination.
The people who went hunting soon returned. The five guards 'results were not as good as Tao Yao and Soul Devourer. This made Gu Moyan remember it in his heart. It ignited Gu Moyan's fighting spirit and he thought about finding an opportunity to compete with them.
Gu Mo Xi handed the black cat to Mei Sheng and took the fish from the Soul Devourer to the river to deal with. Everyone was dumbfounded. Not to mention that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen, it was too shocking for a king to lower his status to deal with raw fish. Only Mei Sheng and Yuan Yuan were not surprised. The other three ghosts looked at each other.
Tao Yao happily went up to Yuanyuan and took the black cat from her arms. She asked curiously," Why aren't you surprised at all?”
"What's there to be surprised about? Recently, he has been taking care of Miss's meals. Why? Don't you know?”Mei Sheng threw down a heavy bomb lightly, causing the group of people to be blown into a mess.
"Ahhhh ~ Why didn't anyone tell me?! Xiao Xi Xi, I'm sorry, I let you eat that guy's food. Xiao Xi Xi, are you okay?”Tao Yao ran to the tree and squatted down. She asked worriedly as she dug the soil with a wooden stick.
The corners of the black cat's mouth twitched. Would it listen to you if something happened? However, Gu Mo Xi personally cooking for it really surprised it. No wonder the taste of the food was not the same recently. It thought that the chef had changed, but it did not expect it to be his masterpiece. Its heart was warm, and even the sleepiness dissipated a lot.
Gu Moyan moved to his brother's side and asked dumbly," Brother, did I hear wrongly?”As she spoke, her peach blossom eyes turned towards Gu Mo Xi who was squatting by the river.
Gu Moran pondered for a while. She looked at her second brother's figure as he handled the food, and the worry in her heart became heavier." No, I never knew that my second brother could do this for the person he likes. This is not a good sign."”
Gu Moyan was puzzled. He looked at his big brother and asked silently, but he didn't get an answer. He thought, isn't this a good thing? Why is his big brother still worried? He had forgotten that Lan Xi was a demon and not a human, and Gu Moran and he didn't know that Gu Moxi had already cultivated, so there was no need to worry.
After dinner, they continued on their way. Gu Moxi rode on a pure black Ferghana horse, her white clothes shining under the sunlight. She looked like an immortal, but her handsome face was gloomy. When she thought about how he had returned from handling the fish and found Xi 'er in Taoyao's arms, she was furious. Damn her sworn enemy.
Mo Xi, the grilled fish is delicious."
Just as she was thinking about it, a soft female voice rang out from her arms, sweeping away the gloominess on Gu Moxi's face. Her phoenix eyes turned into a gentle gaze that drowned people as they fell on the black cat. The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and the coldness that spread all over her body dissipated. The officials and guards who accompanied her on the trip felt relieved of their sense of crisis, and secretly sighed that King Jing was becoming more and more temperamental.
"If you like it, I'll make it for you every day.”A low and hoarse voice escaped from his thin lips and seeped into the bottom of the black cat's heart. Its soft body rubbed against his stomach and its smiling eyes gently closed.
Gu Moxi tensed up and shook her head helplessly as she watched the black cat fall asleep again. Xi 'er, how can you just leave after getting into a fire? Hurry up and turn into a human!
In the evening, the team entered Liao City. After the great disaster from before, they had recovered a lot of vitality. Although they were not as prosperous as before, they could tell from the smiles on their faces that they had recovered well by looking at the stalls on both sides of the road, the shops that were filled with customers, the people coming and going, and the noisy voices.
The group stopped in front of the Fulai Inn where they had stayed last time. Little Yuanzi accepted the order and generously booked the entire inn. The group of people walked through the door under many gazes. The shopkeeper had already called over the waiters again. Looking at their energetic appearance, business must have been good recently. The shopkeeper saw the two kings who were familiar with him and was stunned. He immediately went forward and was about to kneel.
Gu Mo Xi stopped him first and smiled," Shopkeeper, we are a family and don't need to be so polite."”
The shopkeeper was able to open an inn, so he naturally had some brains. Hearing the king's words, he immediately understood and said with a smile," Yes, yes, this lowly one understands. Dear guests, please. Waiter, quickly go and instruct the kitchen to prepare a good meal."”
The waiter was quite clever. Seeing the shopkeeper's reaction, he vaguely understood and ran to the back.
The group of people went up to the second floor under the guidance of the shopkeeper. After putting away their luggage, the three Gu brothers gathered in Gu Moxi's room. The shopkeeper didn't leave before, and after they sat down, he knelt down with tears in his eyes." I pay my respects to Your Majesty and the two princes. Long live Your Majesty."”
"Shopkeeper, please rise." Gu Moran was amiable and did not put on airs at all. Little Yuanzi quickly went forward to help the shopkeeper up. After he stood up, he continued to ask," How is the situation in Liao City now? Did Wang Furan bully you?”
"Your Majesty, ever since King Jing returned, everything in the city has been fine. Magistrate Wang is a good official who has led the villagers to benefit the village. Now, Liao City has recovered a lot. We have to thank Your Majesty, the two kings, and the imperial court for this. Otherwise, we villagers would have been killed by that damned Wang Jilai.”
"En, Shopkeeper, you don't have to thank me. This is what the Imperial Court should do. I only sigh that Zhen discovered it too late. Otherwise, so many innocent people wouldn't have been harmed.”As long as he thought of what Gu Mo Xi said in the memorial, Gu Mo Ran would be filled with anger.
The shopkeeper raised his sleeve to wipe away the tears from the corner of his eyes, bowed, and left. At this time, Magistrate Wang Furan came to pay his respects. The three brothers looked at each other and smiled. They knew that the commoners must have told him after seeing them. It was fine to meet them. They nodded at Little Yuanzi.
Wang Furan walked into the room and kowtowed. After he got up, he looked at the three dragons in front of him excitedly. Gu Moran answered whatever she asked and also added his own thoughts, which made Gu Moran happy.
The black cat glanced at Wang Furan with its half-opened eyes and was slightly stunned. A deep sigh appeared in its heart. A good official was hard to find. This Wang Furan was deeply praised by the people. Unfortunately, after Wang Jilai's torture, his body was not as good as before. If he rested well for a year and a half, he would definitely live to a hundred years old. Unfortunately, he cared about the people and ignored himself. It was already the limit for him to live for three years.
