Gu Pan Lanling

Gao Changgong glanced back at Gu Zimo, then moved his gaze away from the steamed stuffed bun calmly, "This king went to survey the terrain and bought it by the way."

"Oh……"

If so, it makes sense.

Gu Zimo was easily persuaded.

"If you can't walk, tell this king, we will rest where we are."

Gao Changgong deliberately slowed down his steps, but it was still difficult for Gu Zimo to keep walking at the same speed as him.

"Your Highness..." Gu Zimo began to pant after walking for a while, "Why do we have to walk? Isn't there a carriage?"

"There is going up the mountain ahead, and that road can only be passed by walking."

Gu Zimo frowned, "What are you doing up the mountain? Hunting?"

Gao Changgong ignored him, but his body was obviously tense because of Gu Zimo's ignorant words.

After walking for more than three hours, intermittently, stopping and resting, I finally arrived at the place Gao Changgong mentioned.

"That's it, are you afraid?" Gao Changgong asked Gu Zimo, pointing to a dark cave with no bottom.

Gu Zimo poked his head and looked, the cave was very dark, he shrank back subconsciously behind Gao Changgong, "Your Highness, did we spend so much effort to come here to find this cave?"

"Don't you think that this place is very mysterious, and you really want to go in and find out?"

Gao Changgong looked straight at the cave, with emotions in his eyes that others couldn't understand.

Gu Zimo quickly shook his head, "I don't want to, it's very gloomy here, maybe there's a ghost inside, let's go, Your Highness, it's getting dark... maybe there really is a ghost..."

Gu Zimo's voice was out of tune because of fear.

Gao Changgong withdrew his gaze, and his eyes fell on Gu Zimo, "You really don't want to go in?"

"Hmm, let's go quickly, Your Highness..."

Gu Zimo nodded vigorously, he was not interested in this cave at all.

"Forget it, since that's the case, let's go down the mountain." Gao Changgong didn't make things difficult for him.

But Gu Zimo still felt that something was happening. Gao Changgong spent so much effort to come here, but he didn't go in when he reached the cave entrance. Does he have something to do?

Thinking of this, Gu Zimo paused, "His Royal Highness, if you really want to go to the cave to have a look, you can go in and have a look, I will wait for you outside the cave."

"No need." Gao Changgong continued down the mountain without looking back.

Gu Zimo had no choice but to follow.

It was already midnight when the two returned to the inn.

It was cold at night, Gu Zimo wrapped the quilt tightly as soon as he got back to the bed in the inn.

That night, he had another dream.

It's just that this dream is related to that cave.

He dreamed that he was standing at the entrance of the cave, and there seemed to be someone talking inside, but he couldn't understand what they were saying.

He wanted to go in, but there was a voice in his heart saying to him, don't, don't... don't get close...

When I woke up, I found that my whole body was drenched with sweat.

……

Seeing that it was late at night, but the lights in Yu Wenyong's room were still on, Li Ezi couldn't help saying worriedly: "My lord, it's late at night, you should rest early."

"Come in." Yu Wenyong's voice came from inside.

Li Ezi was overjoyed, opened the door and walked in.

Seeing that Yu Wenyong was actually painting, the painting looked a little messy, but it could be roughly seen that it was a cave.

"My lord, where is this painting? I feel that this cave is a bit scary..."

Li Ezi didn't understand why the master had to draw this weird cave when he didn't sleep at night.

"Yeah, everyone will think it's scary when they see such a place for the first time. But, not everyone thinks so, maybe it will be a warm place."

Yu Wenyong regained his indifference, put down the brush, and rubbed his temples, he was a little tired today.

Li Ezi hurriedly walked over, "My lord, let my concubine give you a massage, you look very tired."

"Yeah." Yu Wenyong closed his eyes, Li Ezi stretched out his hand, and gently rubbed his temples.

Yu Wenyong relaxed comfortably, and after a long time, he said: "They should have arrived at Mangshan."

Li Ezi nodded slightly, "It should have arrived last night."

"is it?"

"My lord, that Gao Zhan suddenly appeared in the Lanling Palace, is it because of you..."

"It doesn't matter whether it's true or not. What's important is that Gao Changgong's trip must be in vain, but for me, it's a good thing."

Gu Zimo thought that when he saw the cave, Gao Changgong would take him back to Quanyong City.

Unexpectedly, Gao Changgong would take him to the grassland in Mang Mountain.

"so beautiful……"

It turns out that Mangshan Mountain, which has experienced the flames of war, still has such a beautiful place.

"Your Highness, we won't be going back to the inn tonight, it would be nice to just sleep on the grass!"

"It's raining tonight." Gao Changgong said disappointedly.

Gu Zimo was a little helpless, "Hey, the heavens are not beautiful."

"By the way, Your Highness, when are we going back?" Seeing that Gao Changgong didn't speak, Gu Zimo added, "I mean, when will we go back to Quanyong City."

"You don't like it here?" Gao Changgong asked suddenly, but his eyes were looking into the distance. It was a sea, just like the blue sky, so blue that it made people feel clear.

"It's not that I don't like it... I just think it's... weird."

Gu Zimo couldn't tell, but he just thought it was too strange. Whenever he came here, he would always have some weird dreams.

"Go back tomorrow, today, we are going to a place."

When Gu Zimo left the grassland, he was a little bit reluctant, "Will almost come again in the future?"

"Ah."

Gu Zimo would always trust Gao Changgong's words without doubt.

It's been like this since I came to Mangshan Mountain.

Gao Changgong said to go to a place, but it turned out to be a small restaurant.

The store is very small, not like a store that Gao Changgong would go to.

"anyone there?"

I feel that the business is very deserted, there are no customers, and I have not seen the store.

Gu Zimo yelled, and only then did a woman come out from behind with a child in her arms.

"Two bowls of Yangchun noodles." Gao Changgong said.

When the woman saw Gao Changgong's face, she was instantly astonished and froze there.

"Shopkeeper, two bowls of Yangchun noodles." Gu Zimo waved his hand in front of the female storekeeper.

Only then did the female shopkeeper come to her senses, "Ahem, I'm sorry...two bowls of Yangchun noodles, right? I'll make it now."

Not long after, two bowls of Yangchun noodles were served.

Gu Zimo started to eat in a hurry, but Gao Changgong put down his chopsticks after taking a bite, his face was gloomy, "That's not right."

"What's wrong?"

"The noodles don't taste right."

"Ah? Yangchun noodles, isn't that what it tastes like?" Gu Zimo didn't understand why Gao Changgong became picky at this moment.

Obviously yesterday he ate the buns that were cold without being picky.

"This son also tasted something wrong? Hey..."

The shopkeeper sighed, and even shed tears, "It's all my fault. When my mother was here, I thought that she was here, so I didn't study hard. Now that she's gone, the ancestral taste is lost. I can no longer make the taste that my mother made."

"Let's go." Gao Changgong stood up suddenly, put down an ingot of gold, and walked out of the noodle shop.

Gu Zimo glanced at the noodles that he hadn't eaten much, feeling a little helpless, "How can it be wasted, hey..."

After catching up with Gao Changgong, he found that Gao Changgong's face was not very good-looking, as if he was angry with someone.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

"Your Highness, are you angry?"

Gao Changgong still didn't say a word.

Gu Zimo was a little annoyed, and he didn't know how he had offended him.

"Your Highness, you..."

Gao Changgong didn't pay attention to him, but his pace suddenly quickened, and Gu Zimo was sweating profusely as he followed with difficulty.

"Your Highness, wait for me..."

Gao Changgong ignored it, and when he arrived at the inn, he settled the rent with a sullen face.

"Your Highness, are we going back?"

"En." Gao Changgong finally agreed to talk to him.

After leaving Mangshan Mountain and getting back into the carriage, Gao Changgong began to sullenly again, as if someone owed him something.

"Your Highness, are you still unhappy about what happened to Yang Chunmian?"

Gu Zimo couldn't figure it out, it's just a bowl of Yangchun noodles, why should he compete so much?

Gao Changgong closed his eyes without even looking at him. Gu Zimo knew he was not asleep, but he just didn't want to talk to him.

"If you don't care, don't care, I didn't mess with you." Sighing, Gu Zimo opened the curtain and looked out of the car. He was already out of the boundary of Mang Mountain, and the road beams were deep reed fields. It is said that many souls were buried here because of the war.

Gu Zimo watched quietly until a figure came out from the reeds. He was dressed in pitch-black attire, and he recognized that person with just one glance...

"It's him?" Gu Zimo exclaimed in his heart, "Stop the car, I want to get off the carriage."

That person is too mysterious, always appearing quietly, and leaving too quietly.

Gao Changgong slowly raised his eyes and found that Gu Zimo was anxious, and said coldly: "Stop."

The carriage stopped, and Gu Zimo hurriedly got out of the carriage and ran back.

Gao Changgong closed his eyes again, but ordered to the groom: "Don't wait for him, let's go first."

Gu Zimo hadn't gone far when he found that the carriage had left him behind.

He hurriedly waved his hands and shouted, "Hello, Your Highness, I haven't gotten into the car yet..."

The carriage didn't intend to stop, and it disappeared completely from Gu Zimo's sight after a while.

Gu Zimo had no choice but to walk towards the familiar figure in Lu Weidang in annoyance.

When I got closer, I found that the man seemed to be injured. Although his face was covered, his expression looked a bit painful.

"You, why are you injured so badly?" Gu Zimo approached and found that the man was bleeding in many places.

"Don't move, I have medicine here." Gu Zimo took out the wound medicine that he carried with him, and was about to apply medicine to the man, but was stopped by the man's eyes.

"That's fine, you can do it yourself."

Gu Zimo also felt that it would be unaccustomed for him to show such enthusiasm just because the other party felt familiar to him.

He simply sat aside and watched quietly.

The man unbuttoned his clothes, revealing his bruised body. Only then did Gu Zimo realize that there were many deep wounds on his body, but luckily none of the vital parts were hurt.

During the process of applying the medicine, the man didn't say a word, and Gu Zimo even suspected that he was dumb.

Until the man put the stopper in place and handed the bottle to him.

Gu Zimo took it and saw the man stand up, "Are you leaving?"
