Xing Jian stepped forward and patted Qing Feng. "Is this your first day knowing the prince? She's going to be the future princess!"
"Let's go! Follow them and take care of everything for the prince."
Song Jinyu and the other two rode their horses all the way towards Yuzhou City. After a bumpy journey, they camped in the wilderness at night.
Suddenly, Cheng Song stood up and stared warily ahead. Song Jinyu turned her head and saw a red mare approaching. On the horse sat a young man in white, wearing a delicate mask on his face.
"Who goes there?" Cheng Song stepped in front of Song Jinyu.
She sighed softly and said, "It's been a long time since I last saw you."
The masked young man dismounted from his horse. "Judging from your tone, it seems you've missed me?"
Song Jinyu motioned for Cheng Song to step back. "What are you doing here?" The young man lifted his robe and sat down beside her. He added some firewood to the fire on his own.
"Going to Yuzhou!" What a coincidence! Song Jinyu scoffed. She didn't believe in such a coincidence. "I promised to work for you. Have you forgotten?" The masked young man propped his face up with his hand and smiled at her.
Song Jinyu frowned. "I don't need you now. You can leave!"
"How heartless. I've traveled thousands of miles just to help you deal with the situation at Tianmen Mountain."
What?
"Don't worry about Tianmen Mountain. Outsiders need not interfere." The two stopped talking. Song Jinyu didn't trust him. After all, since he first appeared in front of her, she had never been able to figure out his background. There was no information about him in the martial arts world.
Early the next morning, just as they were about to set off, Song Jinyu said to the silver - masked young man firmly, "No matter what, you can't go with me."
But the young man was equally determined. He just smiled brightly. Although his face was covered by the mask, his eyes were really beautiful. Stared at like this, Song Jinyu felt a bit embarrassed. But then she suddenly smiled and said, "Come on, let's have a race. If you can keep up with me, I'll take you with me." Seeing that she couldn't get rid of him, Song Jinyu decided to make him give up.
Hearing her give in a bit, the silver - masked young man was overjoyed. "Okay—"
Song Jinyu proudly raised her eyebrows, happily mounted her horse, gave him a bright and provocative smile, and immediately galloped away like the wind!
Infected by her smile, the silver - masked young man thought for a moment and then followed. Before long, Song Jinyu had ridden dozens of miles. Before she could turn back to check on the man, suddenly a figure flashed in front of her. The silver - masked young man actually jumped onto her horse and hugged her in his arms. "You ride quite fast!"
Humph...
Song Jinyu was indignant but had no choice but to let him follow.
After a half - day's journey, they finally arrived in Yuzhou City. In the evening, Song Jinyu invited the silver - masked young man to dine with her. Just as they sat down in her room, the silver - masked young man asked with a smile, "What did you put in this wine?"
He didn't pick up the wine but probed her.
"What could I put? Guess?"
A smile bloomed on her small face. Her eyes were curved, and she looked charming as she stared at him affectionately, making his heart race. The young girl was gradually growing up, with a subtle charm. She was both exquisitely charming like a mature young woman and had the innocence of a young girl. The silver - masked young man stared at her warily, feeling a bit dazed.
With her eyes twinkling, Song Jinyu held the wine and gently asked, "Why are you so clingy? Do you have some ulterior motive?"
Her eyes seemed to have some kind of magic that made the silver - masked young man gradually lose his resistance. He lowered his eyes to hide his uneasiness. Suddenly, he took the glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp. "I just—" Before he could finish, he realized he had been tricked.
There really was something in the wine! This little girl dared to drug him. He tried his best to resist the sudden drowsiness, but the drug was too powerful.
Song Jinyu's smile grew wider. "Carry him to the bed!" This sleeping drug would keep him asleep for several hours.
"Do Senior Brother Bai and the others know we're here?"
Niaoniao replied, "I've already informed them."
As if remembering something, she intended to lift the mask. But when she reached the bedside, she hesitated!
"Forget it!" After saying that, she walked towards the door.
Niaoniao was puzzled. "Miss, why don't you take a look?"
Song Jinyu said in a low voice, "He must have his own reasons for not letting others see his true face."
"He's unconscious now and won't know what you're doing." "Even though he doesn't know, I don't want to do this."
After saying that, she left and carefully locked the door for the silver - masked young man to prevent anyone from breaking in and harming him.
After drinking the wine, the man on the bed used his internal energy to force out the effect of the drug. So when Song Jinyu approached him and wanted to lift the mask, he could feel it. However, just as her hand touched the mask, she withdrew it.
Those words touched his heart. "You're always so considerate of others." A smile appeared on his lips. This was his Song Jinyu.
The three of them came to a manor outside Yuzhou City. This was another secret location of Tianmen Mountain. The Bai brothers had been waiting for a long time. They were both disciples of Miao Yunshen and were responsible for guarding the spiritual root planting area here.
Miao Yunshen had found a new place to plant spiritual roots last year. In fact, the emperor only knew that spiritual roots could only be planted in Tianmen Mountain, but he didn't know that the planting of spiritual roots wasn't that mysterious. It was just to appease the emperor.
Now that Miao Yunshen had made all the arrangements here, it was just in case the emperor turned against them one day and tried to settle accounts with Tianmen Mountain.
"Yuer, go to the manor. You must prepare that special potion." The news from Miao Yunshen worried her greatly.
The most crucial step in planting spiritual roots was to pour a special potion on them at the right time. Only then would they have their miraculous effects. Without this step, spiritual roots would be no different from ordinary ginseng!
Only she and Miao Yunshen in the entire Tianmen Mountain knew this secret.
This layout hadn't been activated for a year. After the mountain flood, Master activated this place. It seemed that the mountain must have suffered great losses.
When Song Jinyu came out, Senior Brother Bai was waiting for her. "Yuer, these spiritual roots can be used to make medicine tonight!"
Senior Brother Bai was one of Master's most trusted disciples and was arranged to guard this place. He had been waiting for his junior sister. Master had told him that he could only make medicine after his junior sister arrived. He didn't know what his junior sister had done in the spiritual root planting area.
"Senior Brother, send the medicine to the capital immediately after it's ready."
Song Jinyu didn't dare to waste any time. Once the crown prince and the Jinshui Palace reacted and hijacked this batch of spiritual medicine on the way, Tianmen Mountain would lose its reliance.
"Yes!"
"By the way, after making the medicine, send two groups of people to the capital." She didn't dare to slack off and had to make more preparations. Once the medicine reached the emperor, Tianmen Mountain would enjoy peace for a while.
