Traveling through the ancient times

Hua Ling and Ming Yue brought out two more fruit plates. Yan Shu carried a table and placed it on the plywood. The guards brought in stools.

Mingyue placed the fruit plate on the table and said, "Miss, come and sit here for a while!"

"Come on, go sit for a while."

"Where did you eat these days? Have you been to town?"

"Sometimes we eat on the boat, sometimes we eat in town. We went for a walk once. This town is very small and there is nothing to see.

This pier is mainly used by fruit-carrying ships. There are more people at this time of year. Usually there are fewer merchants. We have bought a lot of fruit these days!"

Jiang Ruixue also likes to eat fruits. The fruits available in Qunan are limited, so after coming here, Jiang Ruixue brings Mingyue to show off various fruits every day.

Her skin seems to have improved after eating more fruits!

Lu Mingcheng took another longevity fruit and said, "But we have never seen such an expensive fruit like yours."

Nian Chuhua narrowed her eyes and glanced at Lu Mingcheng, "I only saw that person selling this over there."

It doesn't matter if it's a bit more expensive, at least you get to try something new that no one else has tasted before.

I drew this at the beginning of the year to comfort myself. As the saying goes, things are valuable because they are rare!

"Did you bring a barbecue grill? I haven't eaten spicy food for a long time. I can't help drooling just thinking about the smell." Nianchuhua said aggrievedly, touching his stomach.

"You have to bring it. I knew you wanted to eat it, so I brought it specially!" Jiang Ruixue called Mingyue and asked her to ask the kitchen to prepare barbecue.

"My dear Ruixue, you still understand me the best, Trojan~"

"No kissing, she is mine now and only I can kiss her. If you want to kiss her, go and kiss your third prince!" Lu Mingcheng looked like he was protecting his child, hugging Jiang Ruixue to assert his sovereignty.

"Hey, I want to kiss you, what can you do?" Nian Chuhua stood up and hugged Jiang Ruixue's neck and kissed her. "I can kiss you like this, do you dare?"

Lu Mingcheng glared at Nian Chuhua, but Nian Chuhua ignored him and kissed Jiang Ruixue on the other side of her face again, "I can kiss you like this, but do you dare?"

"You... you bastard, you actually flirted with my future wife. When the third child comes back, I will definitely complain to her."

"Go ahead and sue me! How can I be afraid of him?" Nian Chuhua looked like a smug villain, which made Lu Mingcheng so angry that his teeth itched.

"Okay, I get it. The third brother is a henpecked man."

"Hahaha... aren't you?"

Lu Mingcheng glanced at Jiang Ruixue, who was staring at him as if she was enjoying a good show. "I am..."

"Hehe...Isn't that right? Only henpecked people can lead a happy life!"

Jiang Ruixue smiled, looked at Nianchuhua's heartless look and asked, "Where did the Third Prince go? Do you know?"

"I don't know..." Lu Mingqian said in the letter that he had to go out on military business, but he didn't say where he was going or what he was going to do.

Maybe it was a military secret and they were afraid that something might go wrong during the transmission and the secrets might be leaked!

Anyway, she couldn't help much, she just needed to know that he was safe.

"I have heard something..." Lu Mingcheng said mysteriously when he saw that Nian Chuhua looked like he didn't care about anything else.

Nian Chuhua and Jiang Ruixue looked up at him at the same time. Lu Mingcheng cleared his throat and said, "The last time the third brother came back, I went to his house to look for him. I heard that something happened at the border, and it was related to you."

"I..." Nian Chuhua saw Lu Mingcheng looking at him with a puzzled look on his face, "How can the border issue have anything to do with me? I have never been to the border. How can a commoner like me be involved in military affairs?"

"That's right. It is said that General Qilin of Xiliang led his troops in an uprising and drove the King of Xiliang and the Third Prince of Xiliang out of the imperial city, chasing them all the way to the border. Xiliang has a new master now, and the general guarding the border, Xiong Chumo, is the grandfather of the Third Prince of Xiliang."

"Boonie Bears?" Nian Chuhua and Jiang Ruixue asked at the same time? Is this name serious?

"Hmm, oh no, it's the 'Chu' of 'reserve' and the 'Mo' of 'stranger', 'Xiong Chu Mo'. When I first heard it, I thought it meant 'bears appearing everywhere', haha..."

Lu Mingcheng recalled his reaction when he heard the name. The third brother looked at him blankly. Hahahaha…

"But what does this have to do with me?" This person from Xiliang has nothing to do with her?

"Don't worry, let me tell you everything..." Lu Mingcheng got ready, as if he was going to have a long talk.

"Were you robbed and killed on the road this time?"

"Hmm!" Chu Nian Hua stared at Lu Mingcheng in fear. How did he know that? "How did you know that?"

"Of course it was the third brother who told me. Those people following you were arranged by the third brother, right?" Lu Mingcheng nodded at Tianxing and the others, and Nian Chuhua understood.

"Speaking of which, this matter is related to me. The man who tried to rob and kill you was Yongkang, the son of Xiliang's General Yongfu.

I was assassinated a few years ago. Later, the third brother helped me find out that it was the Prince of Xiliang who did it. Then he hired someone to kill the Prince of Xiliang and put the blame on General Yongfu.

General Yongfu was sentenced to death by the King of Xiliang, and the rest of his family was exiled. Yongkang didn't believe his father would kill the crown prince, so he started looking for evidence everywhere, and the investigation led him to the third son.

Lu Mingcheng looked at Nian Chuhua and Jiang Ruixue listening attentively, took a sip of water, and continued, "The third brother has many experts around him who protect him, so even if Yongkang knows that he did it, he can't do anything to him.

So he settled for the next best thing and checked the people around him, and that led to you, didn't it?"

Chushun Hua understood, "So Yongkang wanted to take me hostage to threaten Lu Mingqian?"

"That's right!" Lu Mingcheng gave Nianchuhua a smart look.

"Then Yongkang fled to the border? What does he have to do with the bear?"

"Yongkang himself failed, and the third brother guessed that he might go back to ask the King of Xiliang for help, so he led people to search along the way and found him.

The King of Xiliang was the most vengeful person. His crown prince was killed by his third brother, and he was also framed and lost a general. He certainly could not tolerate this.

He is now in the place where the bears are hiding. Yongkang went to tell him the news. If the King of Xiliang wanted to avenge the Prince of Xiliang, he would transfer the soldiers of the bears to Yongkang and let him lead people to assassinate the third brother.

The reason why Xiliang has fallen to this point is not only because the King of Xiliang is extravagant and indifferent to the people, but also because of the struggle for the throne among the princes of Xiliang.

The third prince finally stayed until the end. Since this Xiong Chumo was his grandfather, he must have wanted Xiong Chumo to lead troops to help him seize power and become emperor. How could he be willing to let Yongkang take people away to avenge a dead person? So they would have another internal conflict.

The King of Xiliang is a vicious and cruel person. He has sent people to sneak into Dongyi many times before to cause chaos. The third brother wants to go there to see if there is a chance to trap the King of Xiliang and the Third Prince of Xiliang at the border!"

"Oh!" So that's it! Nian Chuhua and Jiang Ruixue nodded in sudden realization.

Lu Mingqian did not tell Lu Mingcheng that Yongkang had discovered Qi Muhe's identity. It was a foregone conclusion that the King of Xiliang would send troops to Dongyi to capture Qi Muhe.

Nian Chuhua was secretly worried. It was not so easy to assassinate the emperor and the prince. Lu Mingqian's trip would definitely be full of dangers.

Seeing that Nian Chuhua looked worried after hearing what she said, Lu Mingcheng comforted her, "You don't have to worry too much. The third brother is one of the best in both wisdom and martial arts. He won't do anything lightly if he is not sure.

He didn't tell you because he didn't want you to worry, and I told you not because I wanted you to be frightened, but just wanted you to be mentally prepared. After all, nothing is absolute.

The most important thing is that you must be careful to protect yourself and not let the enemy take advantage of you. Once you fall into the hands of the enemy, both you and Lao San will be in danger. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" Nian Chuhua nodded solemnly. She couldn't let herself become a handle for the enemy to restrain Lu Mingqian.

Jiang Ruixue held Nian Chuhua's hand and gently patted the back of her hand.

When Chuanxihua received her sister's comfort, she gave her a reassuring smile in return.
