Chapter 371 Extra: The four journeys back to being alone
Just like that, Lu Fang hurried out of the palace and went straight to the Yuhang Guild Hall where Gu Qing was staying. When he found the person, he didn't bother to elaborate and quickly led the person to the palace.
The carriage passed through the city in a swaggering manner. On the way, Lu Fang asked Gu Qing carefully without feeling reassured. At that time, he was still thinking, what would he do if Gu Qing knew the whereabouts of his old friend?
Is it to cover up a benefactor and old friend? Or to tell His Majesty, who is suffering, the truth?
Fortunately, after questioning, Gu Qing did not know where Li Yaoguang and Ji Mo were. The two had not shown up in the past five years. Even the five-year share of Xinhai Pavilion was still in Gu Qing's hands.
After listening to Gu Qing's sincere explanation, Lu Fang was both reassured and disappointed. More importantly, he couldn't help but worry about his old friend's current situation. He only hoped that Jimo would be more reliable and help them take good care of their best friend.
Lu Fang took Gu Qing all the way into the palace, not forgetting to give careful instructions. Gu Qing paid a visit, and Shen Yue asked urgently. Gu Qing remembered Lu Fang's explanation, and carefully told all the information she knew. He told Shen Yue. After hearing this, Shen Yue was greatly disappointed. He waved the two of them away in frustration, but couldn't sleep that night.
In the middle of the night, he sat alone in the garden, raising a glass to the bright moon in the sky and melancholy.
"Yaoguang, Yaoguang, time has passed, where are you now? Are you okay? Are you living a happy life? Are you with that annoying guy? Are you happy? Why don't you give me any news? ? Do you know I’m thinking of you?”
Unfortunately, no one answered.
However, at the court meeting the next day, the left and right prime ministers, who had contacted the ministers and prepared to give advice, saw the news that their young emperor looked tired on the dragon throne and weakly claimed that he was ill and needed to go to the palace to recuperate. No matter what kind of queen you are, what kind of advice you give, it all means nothing when it comes to the health of the king of a country.
Everything must be based on the emperor's health. At this juncture, what else can they say? I can only suppress my doubts and have to humbly persuade His Majesty that the dragon body is the most important thing and the country's foundation is the most important thing. But they don't know that their emperor is also a ghost. The so-called cultivation is actually playing with them like a golden cicada escaping its shell, secretly infiltrating Chencang, and taking them with them willfully. The confidant left the palace overnight.
In fact, even Shen Yue himself didn't know what kind of mood he was in when he retraced the path he took when he met his beloved girl.
He ordered Ying Yi and others to hide behind him with a large number of guards. He put on ordinary people's coarse cloth clothes, mounted a carriage, and personally drove out of the city to the east to Tongzhou. Thinking back on the past, he pretended that he was Li Yaoguang. Compare Follow the map and re-travel step by step the southward path Li Yaoguang took when he fled with his family.
Walking and walking, after leaving Tongzhou, he abandoned the carriage and walked through the mountains and forests. He arrived at the place where he was assassinated and found the tree with the mark carved by Yao Guang. Shen Yue rubbed the mark and recalled the scene in his mind. Shen Yue smiled unconsciously.
He continued to search in the mountains and found the place where he had settled. He walked to the place where Li Yaoguang hunted tigers and found the tree where the tiger had hated him. Looking at the old place where he had fallen, he sat there for a long, long time.
I once again set foot on Xujiacun, which has long since restored its prosperity, and walked through the houses and lanes of the rebuilt Xujiacun. I met the patriarch of Xujiacun, who was much older but still strong. I didn’t know that he was an emperor, and Shen Yue was regarded as a benefactor here. , accepted the warm reception from everyone in Xujiacun, but never heard a word about Li Yaoguang from them.
Yes, he has never come back. Even that boy Xu Yi is in the Dongpinghou Mansion in Kyoto, serving as his uncle Cheng's adopted son. How could his Yaoguang come!
Shen Yue concealed his disappointment and continued to move forward.
All the way south to Wuding, I stayed at the inn where I stayed with Yaoguang, went to the Linhai Pavilion where I hid at that time, and even found the cellar where I had lived under the cloth village that was no longer Linhai Pavilion, and walked on the road with me. The towers he fought side by side with were still vivid in his mind, but there was no trace of his old friend anymore.
Shen Yue endured the heartache and loss, gave up Pengcheng and Fengzhou, imagined that he was Li Yaoguang, and followed the path she took to the east.
Walking and walking all the way, relying on the information he collected, he arrived in Yangzhou, Jinling, Yuhang in a daze, and even entered the lively Xinhai Pavilion in person. It seemed like he was having a great time, but in the bustling city When the fireworks came to an end, his heart was empty...
Just go back? He doesn't want to.
Once he goes back, he will have to continue to be alone, sitting on the cold dragon chair as his loner.
That was not what he liked, nor what he wanted. At this time, Shen Yue, who was extremely fragile, chose to continue to escape and indulge. Continue to the southwest and go straight to Yuezhou.
He wants to go there and see the place where his Yao Guang tried his best to protect in the end, and then he will give up and go back and sit on his cold dragon chair, he promises!
The journey to Yuezhou went smoothly, and I experienced everything that Li Yaoguang had experienced here. I even climbed up the city wall, touched the thick bricks full of historical vicissitudes, looked at the vast land ahead, Shen Yue sighed, and warned himself.
That’s it, that’s it, that’s it!
It was enough here, it was time to end. From now on, he thought he would be a qualified emperor and would do what all emperors would do. If he went back, he would be canonized as a queen and end up alone.
The mood was heavy for no reason. On the way back, Shen Yue walked aimlessly, not following the safe route planned by Yingyi and the others. Because of this,
While walking, it rained that day. In order to avoid the rain, the group accidentally lost their way and strayed into the mountains and forests. After the rain passed and the sky cleared, they walked over the mountains and strayed into the mountains, where they encountered a peaceful town.
The town here seems ordinary, but it is actually extraordinary.
People walking in and out all had peaceful and contented smiles on their faces. They were not afraid when meeting strangers, and they had no intention of harming others. Although their clothes were not gorgeous and expensive, they did not appear to be in poverty, and they had no worries about food and clothing.
And the strangest thing is that this is obviously a small town in the mountains, but it has everything. Except for the lack of a government office, it can be said that there is an inn, a large car shop, a medical center, a snack shop, a fabric shop, a grocery store, a jewelry shop, and ready-made clothes. Shops, restaurants, teahouses, etc. are all available.
Seeing that the people were prosperous and living and working in peace and contentment, Shen Yue became more and more satisfied, and couldn't help but have a soft smile on his face.
He thought that his five years of hard work had been in vain. Along the way, this was the most peaceful and peaceful place he had ever seen, making people feel inexplicably happy.
Perhaps it was this lingering sense of happiness that made people relax unconsciously. Shen Yue wanted to stay here longer, so he ordered Ying Yi to follow him. They dispersed and told the guards not to enter the town and disturb the rare peace. They stepped forward enthusiastically, ready to take a stroll around the small town and feel the rare tranquility.
I just didn't expect it. After taking a few steps, Shen Yue's thighs suddenly tightened. He looked down and saw that he was about two or three years old. Looking at the tender and tender glutinous rice dumplings, he was holding candied haws in one hand and his trouser leg in the other. The head looked at himself with a smile.
Shen Yue's heart felt hot and he couldn't help but lower his head. A particularly gentle smile appeared on his face. He unconsciously stretched out his hand, picked up the little girl and teased her in his arms.
"Little girl, which family are you a fat baby from? Where are your parents? Why don't you look at you and let you run around as you please? Be careful that the kidnapper kidnaps you!"
This glutinous rice dumpling is also a fool, and he doesn't know how his parents raise him at home.
A stranger hugged her, but the little guy was not afraid. Not only was he not afraid, he held up the candied haws in his hand and kept stuffing it into his mouth.
Shen Yue couldn't help but laugh, but in his heart he was once again annoyed that the child's parents were unreliable. He was about to call Ying Yi, who was secretly guarding him, and ask him to disperse the people to find the child's parents. Suddenly, the road ahead There was a sound that made him want to cry.
"Yu'er, you're running around again!"
