Chapter 49 Leading the Way (1)

 On the top of the mountain, tall and strong guards in dark blue brocade clothes surrounded the city, holding the map, frowning and looking carefully, and looking into the distance from time to time.

  Not far away, a man in green clothes, jade belt, green pendant and golden crown, wearing a white fox fur, stood under a pine tree with his hands behind his back. With a mountain of snow on his back, his jade face was even more handsome. The face was originally very beautiful, with a little scholarly air, but because of a little anxiety between his eyebrows, it became more charming.

  "Master."

  The guard knelt on the ground, his face showing guilt: "The mountain road is covered with heavy snow, and I am incompetent. I really can't find a way out!"

  "Ha!"

  The man chuckled, his tone was grim, and the sound reminded people of the broken ice on the lake in winter, soaked in the bone-chilling cold air, extremely cold!

  "Since you are incompetent, why do I keep you here?"

  The leading guard was shocked, and then he kept bowing his head, "Yes, please forgive me, I will find a way now!"

  After apologizing, he retreated quietly.

  "Bang——"

  With a sound, a pine tree as thick as a bowl flew out, and fell to the ground a few feet later, and the snow fell all over the mountain.

  The man in white fur retracted his sword and slowly closed his eyes. His long eyelashes, like a feather fan, covered the anxiety in his eyes.

  In order not to be discovered by the prince, he did not pass through the city. From the capital to here, he came from a small path, crossed mountains and ridges, slept in the open air, suffered a lot, avoided many calculations, and got close, but got lost in this desolate mountain.

  From last night to now, they don't know how many times they have turned around in this mountain, but they still can't get out!

  It's not that he is anxious. If he can't find the former national teacher Li Chunzong, not only him, but also his mother, his biological sister Princess Chaoyang, will probably all be defeated by Concubine Jin and the prince.

  Concubine Jin is the only favorite in the harem and has coveted the position of queen for a long time. The prince is also afraid of him because he is a legitimate son. If he does not do something, he will be at the mercy of others. The lives of his mother and sister will all be destroyed in their hands!

  "——Master, hurry up, look, there are people in front!"

  A guard suddenly shouted, pointing excitedly in the distance.

  Following the direction of the finger, a thin girl was running fast on the mountain. The girl was light and walked easily. It was obvious that she was very familiar with the terrain in the mountains.

  Great, there is salvation!

  Several guards secretly chanted Buddha in their hearts and were very excited. Although the master looked gentle and elegant like a scholar and treated people very kindly, he was actually a very scheming and far-sighted person. He was also ruthless and cruel. Who of his subordinates who did not do their job well survived?

  Now the crown prince is in the limelight, suppressing several princes. One of the kings of Chu and Jin was involved in witchcraft, was expelled from the royal family and thrown into prison, and the other was frightened and defected to the crown prince's camp. The other princes, some small or insignificant, could only watch the crown prince and his mother, who was born a prostitute, running rampant in the palace and killing the royal family. Only his master, who is far-sighted and humble, appears to be a brother to the crown prince, but in fact, is secretly planning to overthrow this group of tigers and wolves!

  "Go, bring her here!" The man's face warmed up and he spoke calmly.

  "Yes--"

  The two guards took the order, bowed and stepped back a few steps, turned around and went straight to the girl.

  At this moment, Caiwei was walking leisurely on the mountain road, thinking in her heart, Yingge said there were six wild boars in total, she planned to keep one for herself to eat meat, send two to the nursing hall, sell the remaining three for silver, buy a jade hairpin for each of her mother and Fei'er to wear, and if there was any money left, she would buy a milk-producing ewe for the two little monkeys, as goat milk was an excellent tonic, very good for their little bodies.
