Bringing love across time and space

The setting sun quietly descends upon the Road of Exile.

Lin Qingya walked with difficulty in this strange land, her heart filled with endless worries and uneasiness.

The surrounding scenery gradually became blurred, and only the road under my feet seemed to have no end.

In a blink of an eye, the afterglow of the setting sun added a touch of mystery to this desolate place.

This morning, before the morning glow faded, Li Ying got up early, holding an exquisite tea bowl in her hand, ready to serve tea to Princess Lin Qingjiao.

However, this day seemed destined to be unusual. Lin Qingjiao glanced at Li Ying with contempt and deliberately knocked over the tea bowl, splashing the tea everywhere and creating a mess.

"You slut, how dare you be so disrespectful to this princess!" Lin Qingjiao's voice was sharp and piercing, as if it could pierce the entire courtyard.

She immediately ordered the maid to come forward and slap Li Ying hard several times.

Li Ying's face suddenly became red and swollen, but she clenched her teeth to prevent the tears from falling.

Seeing this, Lin Qingjiao was even more pleased. She threatened to sell Li Ying to a brothel and let her experience the bitterest pain in the world.

Although Li Ying was filled with resentment, she still tried to control her emotions and not let her anger cloud her mind.

She knew very well that her patience at this moment was for a better counterattack.

Lin Qingjiao was even happier to see Li Ying being so forbearing.

She even promised the maids around her: "If anyone of you can slap her or kick her, I will reward you with one or two taels of silver."

As soon as these words were spoken, the maids swarmed over and beat and kicked Li Ying.

Li Ying's maid rushed forward to stop them upon seeing this, but was unable to withstand the public anger and was beaten all over.

Lin Qingjiao looked at Li Ying, who was beaten black and blue and in a miserable state, and felt an inexplicable sense of pleasure in her heart.

She seemed to see Li Ying's dignity and pride being trampled under her feet, and she felt extremely happy.

However, when Prince Yao returned home and learned about this, his heart was filled with anger and heartache.

He hurried to Li Ying's residence without even stepping into his own yard.

Seeing Li Ying's face covered with tears but without a single complaint, King Yao felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.

He stayed with Li Ying silently, and stayed in her yard for dinner and bedtime.

After Lin Qingjiao learned that King Yao was so partial to Li Ying, the anger in her heart was even more difficult to calm down.

She smashed all the objects in her room to pieces, but even so, it could not change King Yao's love for Li Ying.

The Great Zhou Emperor stood angrily in the empty palace, staring at the chief guard beside him.

There was suppressed anger in his voice, "So many days have passed, and you haven't found any clues about the thief! What use do I have for you?"

The emperor's words echoed in the bedroom. The captain of the guards lowered his head and remained silent, with a look of guilt on his face.

The entire bedroom was filled with a tense atmosphere, as if time had stood still.

"The palace was robbed overnight. This is a shame for our Great Zhou!"

The emperor's tone became more severe. "I gave you the responsibility to protect the palace, but you did nothing!"

The chief guard took a deep breath and stepped forward. "Your Majesty, we have tried our best, but the thief seems to be extremely cunning and did not leave any clues. Please give us some time. We will definitely find clues and bring the thief to justice."

The emperor's eyes were like torches. "I will give you one last chance. If you still cannot find the thief, you will all accept the punishment!"

After saying this, the emperor turned around and walked away, leaving the captain of the guards and a group of guards looking at each other helplessly.

In the camp, the bonfire was burning, reflecting the busy figures of the people.

For dinner, everyone is doing their part, collecting firewood and looking for water.

Everyone is struggling to survive.

Lin Qingya and Gu Yuchen also set up the tent and prepared to take out dinner from the space.

However, at this moment, no one noticed the situation at the Ruan family.

Nguyen family patriarch Nguyen Yangjiang was talking in a low voice with a white-bearded old man in a secluded place.

Ruan Yangjiang's face was full of suspicion and disbelief. He asked in a deep voice:

"Why should I believe what you said? It's nonsense that you can turn people into wolves."

The old man with white beard didn't care and responded with a smile:

"Whether what I said is true or not, you will know if you try it?"

Ruan Yangjiang: "Why don't you go yourself? Let me go. Your martial arts should be better than mine. Why let me go?"

The old man with white beard just perfunctorily said, "This matter is not your business."

As he spoke, he handed Ruan Yangjiang a piece of talisman paper and told him in detail how to use it.

Ruan Yangjiang took the talisman and a sinister smile appeared on his face.

He has no choice now, so he might as well give it a try.

As long as you put the talisman paper into the bowl of water and recite the spell, you can take out the talisman paper. Then let Gu Yuchen drink some, and he will turn into a wolf.

By then, he could easily get rid of Gu Yuchen.

In fact, the old man with white beard wanted to pass the news to Emperor Yuan Jin through the Ruan family, and then work with Emperor Yuan Jin to eliminate Gu Yuchen!

Gu Yuchen was still unaware that danger was approaching.

After dinner, Gu Yuchen pulled Lin Qingya out of the tent.

They saw Ruan Yangjiang and the old man with white beard talking from a distance.

But because the distance was too far, I couldn't hear clearly what they were saying.

Gu Yuchen didn't take it to heart. While no one was paying attention, they came to Situ Hao and Chao Jiuli.

Situ Hao, Chao Jiuli and the secret guards saw Gu Yuchen and Lin Qingya coming over.

He immediately stood up and knelt on one knee to greet them: "Welcome, Your Majesty and Princess."

Gu Yuchen waved his hand, "Everyone stand up and talk."

After the secret guards had gone far away, Gu Yuchen explained his purpose to Situ Hao and Chao Jiuli.

Situ Hao expressed his concerns:

"Now the crops have failed, where can we get so much food?

It is also very dangerous for us to transport food along the way, and we don’t have enough manpower to transport so much food.”

Lin Qingya smiled slightly after hearing this and comforted him:

"Don't worry about that, Yuchen and I will arrange it in advance.

We will come to you every evening to distribute food, and we will give you as much food as we encounter disaster victims every day.

Each person can receive a month's worth of food each time, so there is no need to pity those who have bad intentions.

If it's petty theft, don't bother, but if someone intends to kill or rob, kill them without mercy."

After hearing this, Situ Hao and Chao Jiuli responded respectfully: "Everything is up to the princess's arrangement."

When Gu Yuchen was arranging the resettlement of the refugees, an uninvited guest came to their tent.

This person is Ruan Yangjiang.

He took advantage of the servants not paying attention during dinner and quietly came to Gu Yuchen's tent.

He saw two water cups, and he didn't know which one was Gu Yuchen's.

So he poured the water in the water bag in his hand into two cups.

After doing all this, he quickly evacuated without leaving any clues.

Gu Yuchen and Lin Qingya left after talking to Situ Hao and Chao Jiuli.

Because it is surrounded by mountains.

They found a cave, entered the space, and put 30 kilograms of cornmeal into a bag.

Lin Qingya packed three thousand bags with her mind.

After packing these, Gu Yuchen and Lin Qingya returned to Situ Hao.

Arrange people to distribute food to those fleeing famine and arrange for them to go to the northern border.

Seeing that things were going smoothly, Gu Yuchen and Lin Qingya returned to their resting place.

As the night deepens, the stars twinkle, as if telling of the vastness and breadth of this world.

And on this road of exile, they will continue to move forward, for survival and for the people they love.
