The climate in Tianqi is milder than that in Dasheng.
Even though the weather is getting colder, the mountains and fields are still full of flowers and green.
Starting from the city, Jiang Wumei and her group hurried along the Tianqi official road. The horses' hooves kicked up dust, and the people on both sides avoided them.
In the blink of an eye, another morning had passed. Seeing that the next city was still a day's journey away, Chen Yu saw that the horses were tired and the people were exhausted, so he found a riverside with lush vegetation for everyone to rest for a while.
Jiang Wumei got off the horse with a sore back, and Qingzhi immediately came up to massage her back and shoulders to relieve her discomfort.
The Qilin Guards gathered the horses together to eat grass and drink water. Jiang Wumei took out the kettle, uncorked it and took a sip.
Here, the mountains stretch out in a continuous line, shaded by lush green trees. A few tiny blue flowers sway and stretch in the wind, blooming at Jiang Wumei's feet, emitting a faint fragrance.
Jiang Wumei shifted her gaze slightly and discovered the small flowers. She bent down and fiddled with the blue petals with her fingertips.
Qingzhi thought she liked it and suggested with a smile:
"My lady, do you like this kind of flowers?
I see there are many flowers and plants by the river. If you like, Your Majesty, I will weave a wreath for you."
Seeing Qingzhi reaching out to pick the flowers, Jiang Wumei stopped her at a loss for words:
“What are you going to do with the wreath?
Sit down and rest for a while, we have to go on our journey later."
Just as Jiang Wumei finished speaking, the sound of galloping horses came from the official road by the river.
Chen Yu and the Qilin Guards immediately gathered together vigilantly, protecting Jiang Wumei in the middle and looking into the distance vigilantly.
Jiang Wumei looked over curiously, and as the sound of horse hooves approached, she could barely make out the figure of the person coming.
The other party was obviously also a group of travelers. The sound of horse hooves was very urgent. Their faces could not be seen clearly from a distance, but they were filled with indifference, and it was obvious that they were not ordinary people.
Chen Yu had excellent eyesight due to his martial arts training. He was on guard and looked carefully at the group of people on the official road. He found a few familiar faces among them.
After confirming the other party's identity, Chen Yu walked behind Jiang Wumei and whispered a reminder:
"My Lady, it seems to be Miss Xu and Chen Liu and the others."
Jiang Wumei was stunned for a moment, then she widened her eyes and looked over carefully.
Upon taking a look, she indeed discovered that the woman in the middle of the team looked very similar to Xu Junjun, but the distance was too far, so Jiang Wumei couldn't be sure.
As the distance got closer, Jiang Wumei saw the face of the woman in the middle clearly, and her eyes suddenly brightened.
"It's Junjun, it's really her."
After meeting again after several months, Jiang Wumei's heart was filled with joy and she felt more energetic.
Jiang Wumei didn't let Chen Yu and the others stop them. She quickly stood on the huge rock behind her, waved her arms vigorously towards the official road, and shouted:
“Junjun!
Xu Junjun!
I'm here!
Stop it now!
The forest was deserted, and the shouts were carried far away by the wind, almost echoing.
Jiang Wumei had a brilliant smile on her face, a brightness that Chen Yu and the others had never seen before. They didn't dare to cross the line. As soon as Jiang Wumei called out for the first time, they immediately turned their heads to look towards the official road, not daring to glance behind them at all.
Xu Junjun leaned forward and galloped on his horse. When he suddenly heard the shout, he thought he was hallucinating.
When she slowed down her horse a little and looked towards the source of the sound, she saw the beautiful figure on the huge rock by the river. She was so surprised that she immediately waved her arm in response.
“Niao Niao, it’s Niao Niao!!”
Xu Junjun's eyes widened and she responded loudly with joy. Chen Liu, Wei Dong and others saw her movements, looked forward, and followed Xu Junjun to rein in their horses.
As the horse's hooves stopped, a cloud of dust rose on the official road. Xu Junjun jumped off the horse and ran towards Jiang Wumei's position, laughing loudly.
Jiang Wumei jumped down from the boulder, which made Qingzhi's heart tremble. Just as he reached out to help her, Jiang Wumei strode towards Xu Junjun.
The mountain breeze suddenly blew up, lifting the skirts of the two people like two fluttering butterflies.
Jiang Wumei firmly grasped the hand extended by Xu Junjun, and looked at her with excitement and joy.
Xu Junjun has lost weight, and she must have been very sad during this period.
Jiang Wumei felt distressed and sad. When their eyes met, Xu Junjun also understood what she wanted to say.
Xu Junjun looked at Jiang Wumei, and frowned tightly at her hands that were worn out from running around for a month.
Both of them felt very sorry for each other, but the joy of reunion overwhelmed everything.
Jiang Wumei hugged Xu Junjun tightly, then let her go:
"You've lost weight, Junjun."
Xu Junjun shook her head:
"I'm not thin, it's just that I remembered it wrongly because you haven't seen me for a long time."
Just kidding, Xu Junjun had a thousand words to say to Jiang Wumei, but she was worried that this was not the right place to say them.
“I came to the Imperial Capital as soon as I received your letter. Fortunately, we didn’t miss it.
It's still about half a month's journey from here to the Imperial Capital. Niao Niao, let's find a place to rest for the night and continue our journey tomorrow."
Jiang Wumei smiled and nodded, tears welling up in her eyes:
"Okay, it's all up to you."
Chen Liu and others came down from the official road. When the Qilin Guards saw Jiang Wumei, they all saluted and stood behind Chen Liu and nodded to their former colleagues.
Wei Dong knew how important the woman in front of him was to his future princess, so he brought people over to greet Jiang Wumei.
After the two sides got familiar with each other, Jiang Wumei asked Xu Junjun if they could hurry on their journey. Xu Junjun nodded, and Jiang Wumei asked people to pack up and prepare to depart.
When the sisters met, Jiang Wumei and Xu Junjun were obviously in high spirits. Xu Junjun was even in the mood to talk to Jiang Wumei about the plants growing in the roadside forests.
Jiang Wumei was also very supportive. Every time Xu Junjun spoke, she would slow down her horse and respond with a smile.
Wei Dong led his personal guards to lead the way, while Chen Liu rode his horse closely behind Chen Yu and reported to Tianqi in a low voice the major events that had taken place during this period.
After hearing what Chen Liu said, Chen Yu immediately made a plan.
The group hurried and finally arrived in the city before nightfall.
Xu Junjun asked Weidong to find a clean inn and requested the largest room for herself and Jiang Wumei. Then she hurriedly pulled Jiang Wumei back to the room to chat.
As soon as she entered the room, Xu Junjun poured two cups of tea, one for Jiang Wumei and one for herself.
Then, I looked left and right and realized that something seemed to be missing.
"Huh? I was so focused on you that I didn't notice you were missing someone.
What about that little brat?
Why didn't you bring him?"
The teacup in her hand was warm. Jiang Wumei paused for a moment before explaining with a smile:
"The road was bumpy, and it was inconvenient to travel with An'er, so I didn't bring him."
Xu Junjun keenly noticed the loophole in Jiang Wumei's words, put down the teacup with a thud, and his expression changed:
"Did that bastard Xiao Tong forbid you to take care of the child and detained the brat?
I've known for a long time that Xiao Tong is a good-for-nothing bastard, and now he dares to threaten you with a child!
"Niao Niao, let's go, let's go to the Great Sage and get the child back!"
Do it if you don't accept it!
Xiao Tong, this bastard, wanted to bully Niao Niao without even checking whether she agreed or not!
Xu Junjun said that wind is rain, slammed the table hard, and was about to go downstairs to call people to set off.
Jiang Wumei hurriedly pulled her back, feeling helpless and amused:
"You misunderstood, Xiao Tong did not detain the child.
I didn't let the child come with me because I was worried that he couldn't handle it.
Don't be angry, sit down and tell me about your wedding."
Xu Junjun stared at her suspiciously:
"Niao Niao, please don't lie to me. Did Xiao Tong really not make things difficult for you?"
Jiang Wumei shook her head:
"Really not, you can rest assured.
By the way, Xiao Tong specially prepared a gift for me to celebrate your wedding.
The gift list is with Chen Yu. I'll pick it up for you when we get to the imperial capital. However, the gifts may take a month or two to arrive, so don't mind."
Xu Junjun felt relieved and sat back next to Jiang Wumei, patting her chest.
"I'm so happy that you can come. Given our sisterly relationship, it would be too awkward to not give a gift.
However, since it was prepared by Xiao Tong, it would be a waste if I didn't accept it. Thank you, sister."
