The fire on Luming Mountain burned for three days and three nights before it was finally extinguished in a rainstorm.
Looking at the heavy rain outside, Jiang Xue Ning said in a good mood, "After searching the mountain, we can return to Xiangchu. We finally ended the battle before winter, and everyone can have a good winter."
Jiang Li was thinking more. He took a sip of tea and said leisurely, "This time, I have forged a deep friendship with the princess. Perhaps our business map can be expanded."
From the East China Sea in the east to the northern desert in the north... he was determined to build Xiangchu into a strong commercial center and develop it rapidly.
Gu Tangli came in the rain holding an umbrella, carrying a few pieces of fresh venison, and Mu Linlang also came.
“The barbecue is the most delicious when it’s freshly killed.”
A few people were grilling fresh venison and fish under a wooden shed outside, enjoying the rain and drinking wine, which was a unique and carefree experience.
Mu Linlang drank several cups in a row and seemed to be in a bad mood.
Jiang Xue Ning drank a glass of wine and said, "You don't seem very happy about this great victory."
She said depressedly, "Wen Shiyue has been missing since the beginning of the war. I will be too embarrassed to see Master Wen when I go back."
The prince was sent away when he was young, so the imperial teacher prepared for him spent more time teaching her.
She was a student of Master Wen, so she naturally knew that Master loved and loved this grandson who had endured hardships the most.
When she came this time, she said that she must bring Wen Shiyue back.
Jiang Xue Ning comforted him, "No news at this time is the best news. A smart man like him won't let himself die easily."
She looked at the heavy rain and said, "Wait until the rain stops and the fire is out, then take people up the mountain to search."
She had already asked the secret agent, and found out that she hadn't seen Wen Shiyue in the few days before the fight.
He said he had caught a cold, so he couldn't leave the tent to recuperate. The secret agent had secretly observed that the tent where Wen Shiyue lived was heavily guarded and could not be approached at all.
So the worst possible scenario was that he had already been suspected by Gu Hanzhou and was placed under house arrest.
Putting down her worries, Mu Linlang toasted Jiang Xuening and said, "Everything is self-explanatory. I hope that Xiangchu and Mobei can help each other in the future."
The two drank heartily and had a good night's sleep after being drunk.
When I woke up the next day, the rain had stopped and the sky was clear.
Outside, Qiu Ling Yun Que and the others were saying goodbye to Mu Linlang and Gu Tangli. Mu Linlang rewarded them with three thousand taels based on their merits.
"I sincerely wish the princess all the best and Miss Gu a happy life."
The three of them rode away in a dashing manner, heading towards a new journey.
Mu Linlang looked up at the autumn sun and said, "Let's go to Luming Mountain to take a look."
Jiang Xue Ning also went there, leading several thousand people up the mountain. They also led a lot of dogs, in case there were any living people or animals, they could be found in time.
The once green and lush Luming Mountain was burned completely bare and black.
This is the edge of Xiangchu. Jiang Xue Ning stood on the top of the mountain and said, "We have done something wrong this time. Let's send people here to plant trees later. I hope this place can slowly return to its green appearance."
She was relaxed and even in a mood to plan for the subsequent restoration of Luming Mountain.
Mu Linlang led people to search frantically for the person, trying not to miss any place.
Gu Hanzhou was in a very bad state in the cave, his clothes had already gone bad. He had been enduring severe pain on his face for the past few days, and even changed the bandages himself. He ate dry steamed buns that were as hard as stones and drank cold water every day.
It rained heavily last night, and in the middle of the night he thought the wildfire should have been put out, so he went out to take a look around.
It was very quiet outside, the whole mountain was dead silent. Most places were burned black, and only a few places escaped.
He had a premonition that something must have happened to the 300,000-strong army, so he did not dare to risk going to the station to see.
He quickly camouflaged the entrance of the cave and continued to hide in the cave.
"damn it…"
While he was complaining, he knew clearly that the cave was the safest place. Going out now would be the most dangerous and he would easily fall into the hands of the enemy.
In the end, Mu Linlang returned empty-handed and could only pray, "I hope he is lucky enough to escape. If he died in the fire, there would be nothing left."
Gu Tangli comforted him softly, "Maybe he escaped during the chaos. He will be fine."
After dealing with some matters, all the troops at the foot of Luming Mountain withdrew.
Mu Linlang asked her generals and trusted confidants to return to Mobei with the army first. She stayed behind with 20,000 personal soldiers and followed Jiang Xuening into Xiangchu.
On the one hand, she wanted to have friendly exchanges and trade with Hunan and Chu. On the other hand, she wanted to wait for news from Wen Shiyue.
Ten days later, thinking it was about time, Gu Hanzhou took off the white cloth on his face, hid in front of the water, and watched his new face reflected in the clear mountain spring water.
It is exactly the same as Wen Shiyue, except for the edges, which have scars due to poor post-production conditions and poor recovery. It is a perfect new face.
He touched his face lightly with his fingers and smiled evilly and strangely, "From now on, I am Wen Shiyue."
He carefully covered the scar with his hair, then carefully climbed up the mountain from the cave halfway up the cliff.
I also specially chose a small path to go down the mountain. There was no obstruction along the way and I didn't meet anyone.
He went to a nearby town, fortunately he had hidden a box of silver in a cave just in case.
He used the money to buy himself a set of clothes, and then went to the inn to ask for a room, cleaned himself up, and even bought some rouge and powder to carefully cover up the conspicuous scar.
Then he swaggered to the largest restaurant in town, ordered a table full of delicious food, and slowly started eating.
"The fire burned for several days and nights, turning half the sky red. It was so scary."
"When they started fighting, I was picking herbs in the mountains near Luming Mountain. I was scared to death."
"The King of Xiangchu is really powerful, and he won this time. We are not far from Xiangchu, so we won't be taken over one day."
"It's good to accept it. Xiangchu is so powerful now. It's safe if we really accept it."
The hottest topic recently was naturally the battle between the three armies at the foot of Luming Mountain. The guests in the restaurant were all talking about this matter.
He ate with his eyes downcast and listened with his ears pricked up, wanting to know more information.
"When the Xiangchu army returned victoriously, I was in Xiangcheng just in time to catch up. I won't mention the prince, who was naturally beautiful and powerful. The Mobei Princess who entered the city with him was riding a white horse in a red dress, and she was truly dazzling and stunning."
"The world has changed, and there are more and more powerful women..."
Everyone was chatting animatedly, but he drank a bowl of chicken soup and his expression grew a little colder.
Very good, Mu Linlang joined Xiangchu, which made it very convenient for him to do things.
If he returned to Mobei, it would be disadvantageous to him. If he stayed with the Wen family, he would be easily exposed.
After eating and drinking, he leaned back in his chair and thought, "I should pick a good day to meet Mu Linlang."
He will do his best to be Wen Shiyue by acting out a drama of escaping death.
