Half of the pavilion is covered with hibiscus willows, and the city is covered with misty rain for ten miles.
The old gorgeous clothes and jade floating in the world, the plain pen of the mountains and rivers in the sleeve.
Han Che frowned as he looked at the glorious walkway, lost in his thoughts. Su Qing and Xia Zihou exchanged glances, and Han Yuanshen looked at the walkway thoughtfully. It was as if she could see the end of the road, and it would be as glorious as Xia Zihou's Great Xia Dynasty, which had accumulated for nearly a thousand years.
"This place is unfathomable. Royal brother, if you want to get the Fiery Phoenix Lotus, it will be difficult.”Han Yuanshen's expression turned serious after he touched the surroundings.
"Let's go." Su Qing, dressed in white, stepped forward. He had to get the Fiery Phoenix Lotus. He thought so, and Xia Zihou thought the same. The two of them hit it off and agreed to go forward. Han Che quickly grabbed Xia Zihou's hand, his expression slightly anxious. "There are traps everywhere here. Remember not to act on your own.”Xia Zihou shook off his hand and looked at Su Qing, who had turned around.
"Crown Prince, this is the Life Gate of the Five Elements. Since this king is here, there is no reason for me to come empty-handed.”Han Yuanshen did not understand the five elements, much less those formations. Han Che had brought him in because he could identify the mechanisms. Although Han Che knew a little, it was as shallow as the skin of a iceberg compared to Su Qing, who had been through many battles.
"I see."
"You're right. It's better to be careful when you enter. This king didn't think it through.”Su Qing had to apologize? Xia Zihou raised his eyebrows slightly and followed behind him. The sound of his footsteps echoed in the walkway, which was only wide enough for three people to walk side by side. The walkway was glowing faintly on both sides, and upon closer inspection, it was actually made of luminous stones. A huge luminous pearl hung above it, and it was extremely precious. However, he had never seen such a huge one before. The entire pearl was placed at the highest point like a Cuju ball, illuminating the entire hall. Every inch of land in the hall was worth an inch of gold. Not only did Xia Zihou follow the person in front of him, but his hand had also been held by him at some point in time, emitting a faint warmth.
Han Che looked at his clasped hands, and his gaze changed slightly. Han Yuanshen also saw it and was slightly surprised. So everything was just his brother's decision, and Miss Xia did not have any other thoughts about him? However, there was a faint layer of anger towards Su Qing in his heart. However, under such circumstances, he could not say anything. If it was because it was unsafe or something else, it was understandable.
"Follow me. Don't be attracted by the illusions around you.”Xia Zihou nodded, recovering from the visual shock. She glanced at Han Che behind her, the fire of fury hidden in his eyes causing her to frown slightly. What was wrong with him? Looking at her like that? She turned around and continued to walk forward. She did not have the time to say anything to him. She felt that she was getting closer and closer to the Fiery Phoenix Lotus. She broke away from Su Qing's warm hand without a trace. Su Qing froze slightly and then let go.
She couldn't see the road behind her, so she could only keep going forward. The three of them were already extremely tired, and they were also very nervous. Han Yuanshen noticed that there was a relatively spacious area not far away, so he suggested that they rest there for the night before continuing. Otherwise, if they continued like this, they would definitely die of exhaustion. Xia Zihou nodded in agreement.
It was a place that was slightly dented. Xia Zihou looked up at the top. The rocks on the top were strange and jagged, and some were even extremely sharp. If they fell, it would definitely be fatal. She chose a relatively dry place and sat there with her clothes on. Her eyes were slightly closed, but her stomach was singing the empty city stratagem. She took out a piece of dry food from her pocket and started eating. When Han Yuanshen saw this, he walked up to her and asked," Miss, can you give me a piece?"”
"I can't." Xia Zihou looked up at him, then continued to eat. For people like them who had starved for nearly an entire day, anything that they could eat was more delicious than anything else.
"Miss, you…"
"You can eat it if you want, but my pancakes are expensive.”
"..." Han Che leaned against the stone wall and looked at Xia Zihou with a smile. It seemed that this pancake was brought back from the Crown Prince's residence.
"Then tell me your conditions?" Su Qing stood up and said to her, her eyes full of curiosity and interest. It was really interesting.
"You can eat it, but you owe me a favor.”
"I was wondering what it was. Deal." Han Yuanshen took the biscuit from her and smiled. Wasn't it just a favor? No matter how capable she was as a young lady, she could not possibly hold military power like the Regent of the Xia Dynasty. However, at this moment, he would never know how much he regretted his actions today. Xia Zihou pointed at Han Che coldly.
"What about me?" Han Che raised his eyebrows and his face was filled with curiosity. The only luminous pearl among them was faintly glowing, but he felt as if everything had been calculated by this cold-looking woman in front of him.
"You owe me 10,000 dans of grain." 10,000 dans, coming out of her mouth was like she was hungry and wanted to eat. Su Qing looked at them without batting an eyelid. Her eyes were filled with surprise, but she was sighing in her heart. How scheming.
"Ten thousand stones? Miss Xia, why do you need so much food?”Han Che's expression changed slightly. He had thought of all sorts of requests, but he had never expected Xia Zihou to ask him for food, and it was 100,000 dan at that. Xia Zihou added," As the saying goes, food is the most important thing to the people. Surely the Crown Prince knows this?”Han Che was stuck there and couldn't say anything for a moment. However, his slightly bright eyes reflected her clear expression.
"Ten thousand stones? Imperial brother, how many soldiers can this ten thousand stone feed? Miss Xia, you are taking advantage of the situation, this little brother will share with you.”Han Yuanshen was about to help Han Che break it in half, but Han Che stopped him.
"Royal brother, you want to answer her? " Are you crazy? This hundred thousand dan…" Han Yuanshen wanted to stop him, but Han Che stopped him.
"Alright, but this prince can treat this ten thousand stones as a loan. In the future, I will have to return it.”Xia Zihou looked at him with a serious expression. Ha, how could she let others take back what she had swallowed?
"Borrow? The Crown Prince must be joking. I said that the Crown Prince owes me 10,000 dans, and he has to pay it back. A dignified Crown Prince Residence actually doesn't even have 10,000 dans of grain?”Xia Zihou raised his eyebrows and smiled, completely disregarding the dark expression on his face. Han Che naturally wouldn't be fooled by a simple provocation, but Su Qing was present, so he couldn't possibly embarrass Xi Feng too much. She gritted her teeth and agreed. Woman, you're ruthless. Han Che took the biscuit from her hand and ate it elegantly.
Su Qing didn't wait for Xia Zihou to say anything. He calmly took out a greenish package from his shirt. Han Yuanshen looked at the cloth in his hand that was being opened layer by layer, his face expressionless. What did this person mean? He smiled at Xia Zihou and said,"This Prince has brought it with him. There's no need to trouble Miss Xia."”Xia Zihou nodded. It would be best if she could bring her own food, in case she went hungry too.
The cave was still slightly cold in spring. The inside was sealed, so it was naturally not as cold as the outside. However, leaning against the wall, it was still cold. Xia Zihou closed his eyes and slept at the side. Han Che and Han Yuanshen had their backs to each other. Su Qing jumped to a slightly higher spot and lay down, closing her eyes as well. Xia Zihou felt a slight warmth on her body as she slept. She narrowed her eyes warily and looked ahead. A bright yellow figure squatted down, holding a small dagger in his hand. He slowly approached her, and just as Xia Zihou was about to strike with his silver whip, he used the dagger to cut off a strand of her hair. Then, like a child who had just received candy, he revealed an innocent smile.
Xia Zihou's narrowed eyes froze for a moment. Han Che was only focused on the hair in his hand, so he did not notice Xia Zihou's narrowed eyes and the gaze he was looking at him from above. Su Qing touched her heart and smiled. What a good one.
Han Che walked back to his seat and tied their hair together with a red string. He tucked it away like a treasure and looked at Han Yuanshen, who had his sleeping acupoint pressed. He adjusted his sleeping position and Han Che squinted his eyes, looking around vigilantly. He was half asleep and half awake.
When Xia Zihou woke up, the clothes on her body were already gone. She didn't know why she didn't even notice that her clothes had been taken away. However, she had been in there for two days. She had to hurry.
"Let's go." She straightened her clothes and said to the three of them. Su Qing nodded. Han Yuanshen held his forehead and looked around helplessly.
"If I die, I definitely won't enter the Imperial Tombs.”Han Che slapped him on the head, his voice laced with anger.
"Yuan Shen, you're talking nonsense. If this happens in the future, you should return to mother's side.”Han Che was displeased. He hid his hands in his sleeves and looked away. However, his heart ached slightly because of these words.
"Imperial brother, this minister's younger brother was just joking. Don't say it again, don't send me back to mother.”Han Yuanshen gave Han Che a fawning smile, slightly anxious. He stroked his hair and chuckled. Under Han Che's slightly satisfied gaze, he followed the three of them further in. The surroundings became wider and wider. From afar, there was a group of armored soldiers standing there, holding spears in their hands. In the cold and dark underground, they exuded a powerful aura, arrogant and cold. Their golden weapons flashed with a cold light, as if they would attack the four of them in the next second. Su Qing stopped there and looked at her feet. There was a slightly black line by her feet, and it was as complicated as a chessboard.
The armored soldiers were all looking at them, as if they could sense their arrival. Xia Zihou wanted to take a closer look at the soldiers under the dim light, but it was futile. The armor was too thick, and it was impossible to find anything from it. The three of them looked at each other. The armored soldiers were all made of gold. From this, it could be seen how powerful Xi Feng was to Great Xia. It was no wonder that Emperor Tianwu wanted to suppress them. This scale could rival half of Great Xia's territory. These nearly a thousand golden-armored warriors caused Xia Zihou's eyes to flash with excitement. If these armors were used in battle, how powerful would they be?
