Yunyin Pass does not look majestic because the mountains behind it are too tall.
Standing here, looking at the steep mountains that block your view, you will only feel extremely small.
Even Gu Jiu would feel insignificant.
This is the wonder of nature. Compared with these steep mountains that reach into the clouds, humans are like ants.
There were not many people entering the customs at this time, but you could still vaguely see some people.
These people were all caravans. Although the north was barren, it still had many specialties, such as salt, so there were always quite a few merchants coming and going.
Selling illegal salt is a serious crime on the other side of Yinshan Mountain, but it is not a problem in the north.
Most of these merchants were incorporated. When they transported salt from the north to Boshui Pass on the other side of the Yinshan Mountains, they were generally purchased by the government and then resold to the people.
It’s just that the north has not been very peaceful in recent years, so there are fewer merchants coming and going.
Under the setting sun, the red clouds can only reach halfway up the mountain, which shows how high these mountains are.
Gu Jiu and Su Ying passed through the checkpoint smoothly, but when they were being checked, the female soldier couldn't help but look at Gu Jiu for a long time.
There are few men who dare to go out like this, and there are even fewer who are as handsome as Gu Jiu.
It can even be said that there is no.
The female soldiers guarding this checkpoint all live a hard life. Even if they have desires, they have nowhere to vent them. So when they see Gu Jiu, their eyes turn green.
After entering the customs, in order to prevent Gu Jiu from showing up in public and causing trouble, Su Ying drove the car forward, and Gu Jiu could only hide in the car.
Gu Jiu had to admit that it was really troublesome for men to travel in this world, especially for men like him who were unwilling to wear women's clothes.
There is a very small town behind Yunyin Pass where you can rest and have a meal. Gu Jiu and Su Ying plan to rest for a night before coming out.
Seeing Su Ying staying with a man, there were naturally many envious and hungry glances at her in the small hotel.
These female guards who follow the caravan are on the road all year round and have a very hard life.
Although Gu Jiu was wearing a conical hat, his figure looked young and beautiful, which caused several women to whistle.
Su Ying did not take off her hat. At this time, she should have acted more assertive and aggressive and declared her sovereignty, but she was not born to be aggressive, so she could only hurriedly take Gu Jiu to the room.
In order to make things easier, the two of them now travel as a couple, so they can only sleep in one room.
The conditions of this small inn are very poor. Not only are the rooms small, but they are also very dusty.
This is the case with Yinshan Mountains. Not only are the mountains steep, but there is also little vegetation and they are bare, so the air is not good.
As soon as she entered the house, Su Ying opened the window and wanted to get some fresh air.
It would be terrible if a man and a woman were alone in a room and the window was not opened.
Su Ying's cheeks flushed. Although they were a fake couple, she felt a little shy when she thought about being in the same room with Gu Jiu.
The inn faces a steep mountain wall. Looking from here, the mountain looks like a giant or a behemoth towering into the clouds, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
Especially opposite them, there were two houses that were close to the mountain wall and had been smashed to pieces by falling rocks.
The poor life in the north becomes even worse here.
Although it is more popular than the wilderness before, it is enough to see the hardship these people face in living in these mountains.
At this time, even though the sun has not set yet, the environment is already very dark because the mountains block the light.
An inn like this naturally wouldn't provide "high-end items" like candles, so Su Ying had already taken the time to lay out the mat on the floor.
She wanted to sleep on the floor, which was the normal procedure in such situations.
How could a woman let a boy sleep on the floor?
After finding that Su Ying had already made the bed, Gu Jiu got into bed and said to Su Ying, who hadn't reacted yet, "Aunt, good night."
Seeing this, Su Ying hurriedly asked, "How can you sleep on the floor?"
Gu Jiu said: "Why can't I sleep on the floor?"
"At times like this, girls usually sleep on the floor," Su Ying explained.
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "That's the rule outside. We have to do it the opposite way in our academy."
Su Ying immediately shook her head and said, "No, I can't sleep if you're like this."
Although Su Ying speaks like a man, as a woman, she still has some dignity.
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows and said, "How about we sleep in bed together?"
Su Ying's cheeks suddenly felt like they were about to explode, and she hurriedly said, "No! Do you still want your innocence?"
Gu Jiu's mind turned several corners before he understood his situation. He said to Su Ying, "Aunt, am I still innocent?"
"Yes! I said there is! No matter what outsiders say, Xiaoqi and I know that you are innocent." Like Xiaoqi before, Su Ying said this very seriously.
Gu Jiu didn't expect that it would be so difficult for him to be a seductive woman.
Whether it is Su Ying or Xiao Qi, they all have an obsession that he is very pure.
Hey, hey, hey, I'm a man and I've lived alone in a college with you two women for so long. How can I keep my name clean if this gets out?
At this time, Su Ying lowered her head and stammered, "Anyway, you haven't married me yet, so I won't take advantage of you."
Gu Jiu was crying out in his heart: "Aunt, please take advantage of me and don't pity me!"
But Gu Jiu naturally couldn't say such words. As a boy, he still had to be reserved.
Su Ying insisted on sleeping on the floor, saying that she couldn't sleep otherwise. Gu Jiu had no choice but to lie down on the bed.
Looking at the graceful figure sleeping on the ground, Gu Jiu felt that this world was really poisonous.
Letting such a beautiful girl sleep on the floor makes me look like a scumbag, okay?
However, unlike Su Ying, Gu Jiu fell asleep quickly even though he had a psychological burden.
Sleeping is his talent, his strongest talent.
Soon, Gu Jiu's steady breathing could be heard from the bed.
Su Ying turned around and looked where Gu Jiu was.
There is no moon tonight, the sky and the earth are dark, and the mountain wind is howling outside, like the cry of ghosts.
Although this inn is simple, it keeps the wind and rain out.
In the darkness, Su Ying looked at Gu Jiu's outline and smiled sweetly.
She felt that it was a great happiness to be able to watch Gu Jiu fall asleep like this.
At this time, Gu Xiaoxiao had just climbed over two mountains and was still making a fire in the cave.
Xiao Qi was still wandering around the academy even in the middle of the night, feeling that his days were terribly empty.
Junior brothers and Master, Xiaoqi misses you.
Chapter 27 Mockery?
In Galan City, the Imperial Palace, and the inner city, heavy rain was pouring down.
The raindrops fell along the glazed tiles and bloomed like lotus on the ground.
There was always a muffled sound of thunder lingering overhead, and the auspicious beasts in the corners of the house became ferocious the moment they were illuminated by the lightning.
On a gloomy rainy day, the already dark palace became even more gloomy.
In the entire imperial palace, the deepest palace must be the Golden Throne Hall.
In the heavy rain, the temple looked majestic, like a gigantic monster.
But when you really go deep into it, the majestic feeling is quickly replaced by depth.
This temple is really too deep.
Standing in front of the hall, you can't see the end of the hall at all. The building is also extremely tall, as if it was designed specifically for giants. People standing in it look very small.
It was already evening, so it was certainly not time for court, but there were still people in the deepest part of the palace.
It was a row of exceptionally domineering bead curtains.
The characteristics of ordinary bead curtains are nothing more than exquisiteness and beauty, but this row of bead curtains gives people a sense of dominance.
This is because these beads are so big, each one is twice the size of a longan, and they are connected together to form this huge net.
Behind the pearl curtain is the dragon throne, but it is not the traditional gold color, but black, as dark as ink.
Through the gap in the bead curtain, a figure can be vaguely seen.
This figure is not a giant, or what ordinary people would call tall, but for some reason, you always feel that only this huge palace is worthy of her.
Because just by sitting there, she had an aura of creation.
In front of the bead curtain was an official dressed in black clothes, with a solemn expression, because there was a corpse lying in front of her.
The corpse was a woman, wearing a bright yellow robe and looking very noble.
The only woman who can wear yellow here is naturally a princess.
But the princess died.
And it was not a peaceful death.
There were many black lines from her neck to her face, like vines, as if they were about to break out of the ground at any time.
These lines extend from the neck to the eyeballs, so that the princess, who is dressed in gorgeous clothes, looks like her eyeballs are about to be pushed out by these "vines", which is a bit scary.
There was silence both outside and inside the bead curtain. The atmosphere was extremely oppressive, as if the air had solidified.
There was a violent storm outside, but the atmosphere in the hall was even more terrifying than the raging waves.
Only then did a cold voice echo from behind the beaded curtain—"Does this mean that all four of my daughters are dead?"
The official in black clothes knelt on the ground, not daring to speak.
"What did the imperial physician say?" asked the person behind the bead curtain.
"Imperial Physician Zhang said there was nothing she could do." The official in black robes said tremblingly.
The person behind the beaded curtain stood up at this moment and said coldly, "That's the fourth time. I don't need to remind you what to do. Take the princess down with you."
"Yes!" After receiving the order, the female official in black clothes immediately took the body away.
It was still pouring rain outside, and the entire palace was eerily empty.
On the tall black dragon throne, the dragon head flashed with cold light.
The inky figure stood up and looked up at the sky.
There was only a thick glazed tile roof and no sky, but the palace maids and attendants felt that the empress's gaze passed through the roof, into the heavy rain, and was still going up.
There was a torrential rain in her eyes, and there were also dark clouds pressing down on her head.
Her adopted daughter had just died of a strange disease, but at this moment the empress showed a slightly mocking smile on her face.
Is she mocking the world or herself?
……
Gu Jiu and Su Ying set off early the next morning. The carriage moved slowly and soon went deep into the mountains.
As we entered the mountain, we were surrounded by cliffs and the oppressive feeling of being surrounded by mountains became stronger and stronger.
The winding road up the mountain can only accommodate two carriages passing side by side. If you drive on the outside, you will inevitably be a little scared because it is easy to fall off the cliff and be smashed to pieces.
After running for a while, the two yellow horses had become weak and the carriage even slipped several times.
I have to admit that cheap things really don’t come in good shape.
The two yellow horses have tried hard, but they are really not good enough, so they have to let the little gray one take the field.
Little Gray was a novice at pulling the cart, but once he got on, the whole carriage became stable, as if it was equipped with a 3.0t turbocharged engine and automatic driving.
There is only one way up the mountain now. Xiao Hui is also afraid of death, so he naturally won't put himself in a dangerous situation.
Some businessmen looked at the carriage moving at high speed in front of them with a look of surprise.
They haven't encountered such a skilled and courageous guy for a long time.
The winding mountain road soon came to an end. Gu Jiu and Su Ying arrived halfway up the mountain, with even the clouds beside them.
Looking at this dangerous scenery, Su Ying was still a little frightened, but Gu Jiu had already fallen asleep.
