The grass in the factory should be plucked

The moon was at its zenith, and the cold moonlight sprinkled on the river surface, giving the Shule River a layer of silver glow.

The surroundings were quiet and silent except for the sound of the flowing river. In this boundless night, it seemed even more peaceful and tranquil.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves startled the water birds in the reeds.

The person who came was Xie Changan.

After receiving Jiang Li's message, he rushed to the Shule River overnight with a team of personal soldiers.

Looking at the deserted river, the guards were totally confused.

Didn't you say you were here to pick up the prince? Where are they?

At this moment, a scene that shocked them appeared:

The calm river surface began to ripple, and then the movement became louder and louder, with turbulent waves and rolling waves, as if some huge monster was about to emerge from the bottom of the river.

Many of these personal soldiers had been to Changbai Mountain and had seen the legendary dragon with their own eyes. They were secretly surprised and wondered if the prince had come riding a dragon.

I didn’t see the dragon’s guards, so I was extremely excited. I could see the Dragon King up close. I was so looking forward to it!

At this moment, there was a loud "splash", and the waves surged, and what rose slowly from the water was actually a pavilion carved out of white marble!

I saw the pavilion shrouded in a layer of soft light, with flying eaves and high-rise buildings, carved dragons and painted phoenixes. Hanging under the eaves were not wind chimes, but strings of bright pearls, swaying in the night with a faint glow.

What is even more eye-catching is that there are several lifelike dragons coiled on the white jade pillars, and in the dragon's mouth is a huge night pearl that shines brightly.

Of course, no night-shining pearl can compare to the brilliance of the beauty in the pavilion.

But seeing her with cloud-like hair and mist-like mess, light clothes with wide sleeves, only a hairpin in her hair, beautiful eyes and bright smile, the guards were all stunned for a moment.

Could this be the reincarnation of the Goddess Luo?

Xie Changan smiled as he floated up lightly, picked up a reed and threw it into the water.

He actually stepped on the reed, rose and fell a few times on the river surface, rushed into the pavilion, and embraced the beauty in his arms.

The stunned guardsmen finally realized that this stunningly beautiful woman was none other than the Prince of Jing'an.

They bowed quickly and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "No need to be polite. I have detained your general. Please come and pick him up tomorrow."

The soldiers burst into laughter and said, "As you command!"

Xie Changan also smiled and said, "You guys go back first, and just wait here at noon tomorrow."

"Yes!" The guards bowed in response.

But the pavilion slowly sank and eventually disappeared into the river again!

"Your Highness the Prince and the Duke, are they really immortals banished to earth?" a personal soldier exclaimed.

Is this something a mortal can do?

"You're surprised by what you've seen!" Another guard glanced at him.

"That's the immortal cave! When they were in Changbai Mountain, they brought the young county lady and the young prince with them and lived under the Tianchi Lake."

"Immortal cave?" The guard was speechless. "These two are indeed immortals!"

The leader of the personal soldiers said solemnly: "Remember what General Yin said, no matter what you see or hear, you must keep your mouth shut. Anyone who dares to leak a single word will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes, I obey!"

As soon as the pavilion entered the water, Xie Changan hugged the person in his arms tightly and kissed her lips impatiently.

Jiang Li also responded to him enthusiastically, their hair entangled, their breaths intertwined, and the two of them reunited after a short separation, and their hearts were filled with sweetness.

"Dad, mother!"

The crisp and soft childish voice broke the beauty.

Jiang Li quickly pushed him away: "Bulibuqi is here too."

Xie Changan reluctantly let go and turned around to see Xie Buli and Xie Buqi running towards them excitedly, followed by a vine monster with flying vines, "clapping, clapping".

"Is this the ivy?"

"Yes, she is Xiao Teng."

Jiang Li smiled with her eyes curved. Xiao Teng was really the most caring pet. Not only could he do housework, but he could also help her take care of the children!

"Daddy! Daddy!"

As they were talking, the twins, a boy and a girl, came running over happily.

Xie Changan squatted down, opened his arms, smiled and hugged the babies who flew towards him, and kissed them on their rosy cheeks.

"Never leave, never abandon. Do you miss your father?"

"Yes! Every day!"

Xie Buqi raised his chubby little face, his eyes sparkling, "Daddy, roast chicken! Buqi wants to eat delicious roast chicken!"

Xie Changan was both amused and confused. Was she thinking about him or about the roast chicken?

"Buli also misses his daddy, and Buli even drew a picture of his daddy!"

Xie Buli's face was full of anticipation, with an expression that said "Praise me quickly".

"Buli can draw now, he's better than daddy!"

Xie Changan was smiling, holding a child in each hand, and walked towards the inner hall.

Hui Chuntun hid timidly beside Jiang Li, looking at Xie Changan's figure.

The master's husband is very imposing, as if he is even more powerful than the master.

It has to be said that the senses of plant monsters are much sharper than those of animal fairies.

The family of four had a happy midnight snack, and Hui Chunteng took Xie Buli and Xie Buqi back to the side hall to go to bed.

The vine monster has countless vines that can fan and gently pat their backs. Although she can't sing little songs to coax them to sleep like Pearl, she emits a plant fragrance that is very pleasant.

The two little babies smelled the refreshing aroma of ivy and soon fell into a sweet sleep.

Xie Changan smiled and said, "You have collected so many spiritual pets, but this one is the most useful."

Finally, they don’t have to worry about the two darlings disturbing them!

Jiang Li glanced at him coquettishly: "Let's talk about business first."

Xie Changan picked her up and said with a smile, "Okay, let's talk while we walk."

He carried her straight to the bedroom.

Jiang Li hit him lightly and said angrily, "Why are you in such a hurry? I have already informed His Majesty that I will stay here for the next few days."

Xie Changan was overjoyed, but also a little dissatisfied: "Only a few days? Can't you stay a little longer?"

There is a big river here, and Longgong can travel back and forth between the capital and Yumen Pass in an instant, so the little cat slave can accompany him every day!

"On July 15th, I will go to Mount Longhu again."

Jiang Li informed Xie Changan in detail that Zhang Tianshi would convene various Taoist sects to hold a ceremony to pray for the salvation of the dead on July 15th, the Ghost Festival, but in fact the purpose was to trap Nan Xi.

Xie Changan frowned, "No! You are pregnant, how can I let you face that monster alone?"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "How can I face this alone? We have Master Zhang and so many Taoist disciples with us."

Xie Changan snorted: "Except for Zhang Tianshi who might be of some use, the others will just be killed when facing the soul-sucking insects, right?"

He thought for a moment and said, "There are still more than ten days until July 15th. By then, I will finish my work here and go to Mount Longhu with you."

Jiang Li nodded: "Okay."

When Bai Xian's troops arrived, they sneaked into the territory of Turpan Khanate and cooperated with Dingguo Army from inside and outside. It was expected that the Turpan Khanate would not be able to hold out for long.

Now that the situation on the front line has been settled, Xie Changan can take a day or two off to accompany her to Longhu Mountain.

If those sect leaders were like Lin Xuan, with insect eggs planted in their bodies, they would have to use their spiritual sense to remove the witchcraft from them.

With Xie Changan around, she doesn't have to waste her spiritual energy.

After entering the hall, Xie Changan placed her on the jade bed, squatted down, and took off the embroidered shoes on her feet.

Jiang Li chuckled and said, "You know, the urgent news of the victory at Yumen Pass made His Majesty and the officials of the six ministries very worried. Lord Feng even wanted to resign and quit his job!"

Xie Changan was surprised: "Why?"

"When Lord Feng heard you say that you wanted to take over the Western Regions in one fell swoop, he almost cried." Jiang Li laughed.

"The emperor asked the Ministry of Personnel to transfer officials to take over the affairs of the Western Regions. Lord Feng was furious. Officials are not cabbages grown in the fields! Every government office in the Great Chu is understaffed and there are no officials to transfer."

Xie Changan was stunned for a moment, then he realized that the territory of Great Chu was expanding too fast, and people were needed everywhere. No wonder Feng Wuhu was so angry.

He raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled, "What does this have to do with me? Isn't this something that Lord Feng should worry about?"

As he spoke, he kept removing the stockings on her feet, revealing her crystal clear jade soles, which he held in his hands and played with carefully.

Jiang Li was ticklish, so she smiled and broke free from his hand, saying, "The emperor has approved the opening of an imperial examination."

Regardless of the number of places, the best candidates were selected in order to find more capable cattle and horses to be sent to the Western Regions to open up wasteland.

"Isn't this solved? There's no need for you and me to worry about it."

Xie Changan smiled and began to untie her belt again.

Jiang Li held his hand and said angrily, "I haven't finished yet. The emperor asked me to tell you something. This time, we just need to conquer the Turpan Khanate. We need to take the long view on the other countries. We can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."

Even if we open more special examinations, we won’t be able to recruit so many people. You should take it easy and don’t take too big steps!

"What I am anxious about is the matter at hand."

Xie Changan's voice was hoarse. He pulled down the curtain and hot kisses fell like raindrops.
