Chapter 496: Entering the mountains again, secret activities
Because of suppressing the bandits, they obtained a skinny horse, which made the journey much simpler and easier. The two of them rode on the horse and enjoyed the scenery along the way, which made it feel more like they were out for fun.
Dayu has beautiful mountains and rivers and picturesque scenery. When Li Changxiao walked to the right side of a big mountain, he was filled with emotion. He had long wanted to learn some painting skills and paint what he saw and felt with pen and paper.
But due to various trivial matters, I was delayed until here. I thought about painting, and then I thought about going to the inn. I didn't know what happened to the bet between the landlady and the cook.
Li Changxiao was familiar with them, but he didn't know where the bet came from or where it would end. Everyone had their own things to say, so they would just say what they wanted to say. Perhaps that was why Li Changxiao got along so well with them.
When I think of going to the inn, I can't help but think of more and more. The past is like waves brought by the breeze, circling and swaying, with endless aftertaste, just like yesterday.
I just don't know what's going on now. The horses are trotting lightly, the people are humming softly, the leisurely taste is full of fun. It was originally a boring journey, but it seemed that the mountains and rivers came alive, dancing with people, like the wind playing with people's hair.
By the stream, Wang Ruyi held it in for a long time, her pretty face flushed, before she could not help telling the man in white that she wanted to bathe and wash her feet. Her shyness, in contrast to the landscape, was another eye-catching sight.
Li Changxiao didn't know where Wang Ruyi's embarrassment came from.
The woman had been running around for days and was afraid that her boots would get dirty and she would lose face, but she couldn't help it. After much hesitation, she mustered up the courage to make the plea.
If the man in white helped her take off her boots and showed the slightest disdain, the woman would be so ashamed and angry that she would want to jump into the river and commit suicide. Li Changxiao could never have expected that the emperor's body and mind would be so shy.
When helping him take off his boots, he saw that the soles of his boots were badly worn. If he was going into the city, he should buy a new pair. Speaking of boots, Wang Ruyi should really thank the man in white.
There is no such thing as a buy one get two free deal in this world. Li Changxiao secretly manipulated it and gave the boots to Wang Ruyi in this way.
He wanted her to walk a little easier and avoid suffering before leaving Elong Mountain. The gentleness of the white-clothed girl never showed on her face, whether she knew it or not. He took off the boots, revealing the white and tender feet. The old wounds had long been healed. Li Changxiao held the soles of the boots and shook them down, pouring out a lot of fine sand and gravel.
He asked in confusion: "Why didn't you tell me earlier that there were so many gravels? If I had helped you get out earlier, you would have suffered less."
"I..." Wang Ruyi was too shy to say it. How could she say it? She just wanted to maintain her impression in the white-clothed man's heart as much as possible.
She was afraid that her feet would be tired after working so many days, so when she took off her boots, she would lose the impression. She explained carefully and nervously, "I... usually like to be clean, but the road is long and it's summer, so I sweat a lot. Is it smelly?"
She was like a frightened deer, feeling uneasy. Hearing this, Li Changxiao laughed, which actually annoyed her.
Li Changxiao finally understood. It turned out that he was afraid of the smell, so he walked on stones all the way. He didn't dare to tell himself that the emperor of Dayu was really... I didn't know how to comment on it.
"What are you laughing at!" Wang Ruyi stamped her feet in anger and almost cried.
"No, no, don't worry, it doesn't stink, it's just a little sour." Li Changxiao joked.
Wang Ruyi bit her lips tightly, her face flushed like a peach blossom, her ten toes curled up in embarrassment, and she felt a little aggrieved. After all, it was not what she wanted.
He put Wang Ruyi by the river and let her soak her feet. Li Changxiao jumped into the river, dived to the bottom of the river, caught a few fish, and roasted them later.
There were so many things that happened along the way that if we were to study them in detail, we would never be able to finish describing them. They were ordinary trivial matters, but in the hands of the man in white, they became interesting.
The novel and strange way of eating, the fun along the way. Bai Yi once said that if you want to be more free, you can fly on a sword, see all the rivers and mountains, sleep on the treetops, sleep on the riverbed, see the stars from the mountains, and watch the bright moon from the deep ravines, that is the real freedom.
However, walking slowly along the way also has its own fun. You can watch ants making holes and swallows returning to their nests, play with fish and catch birds in your spare time. It all depends on personal interest and mentality. But Wang Ruyi obviously liked Li Changxiao's previous description more, and knew that Li Changxiao was not an ordinary person. She pestered her and wanted to experience it once, and wanted to fly once. But it was destined to fail. If he took her flying with the sword, it would definitely trigger the hidden consequences of the dream. However, Li Changxiao did not completely refuse. When there is a chance in the future, he will take her to see his mountains and rivers and his people. It is a good thing for Dayu and Wang Ruyi.
Now that she had temporarily left her position as an emperor, she wanted to enjoy herself to the fullest. In fact, she had long had this idea in mind, wanting to leave the imperial palace and go out to explore the mountains and rivers. She had never thought that her idea would be fulfilled while she was being stripped of her title.
How could she not be curious? Those beautiful buildings and palaces, full of wealth and splendor, were actually golden cages.
Perhaps it was because of the stripping of his reputation that all the pressure and burden on his shoulders were swept away, and he felt more free than ever before. When he saw something fun and interesting, he always wanted to try it, such as climbing a tree. Who would have thought that the Emperor of Dayu actually had a small wish, which was to climb trees and eat fruit.
But she couldn't use her hands, so Li Changxiao finally pushed her onto the branch of a big tree and let her sit there to enjoy the scenery. However, due to poor balance, she fell down. No one knew whether it was intentional or not.
Li Changxiao scolded her for this, saying that it would be bad if she developed this habit, because if he was not around one day, she might get hurt by falling, which would be terrible.
Having said this, Wang Ruyi's expression flashed with sadness for a moment, but then turned into enthusiasm. Her eyes were burning like fire and water, soft and hard, and her emotions were not concealed at all.
Li Changxiao finally understood Ji Beiming's pain. This empress was too difficult to deal with.
After climbing the tree, Wang Ruyi was still not satisfied, thinking about climbing again when his hands and feet recovered. When he was tired, he rode the horse. Wang Ruyi often fell asleep directly, and Li Changxiao would not reject it. In the night, the horse was wearing a white robe and a black robe, walking leisurely at night, with the cool breeze blowing. Li Changxiao was resting on the night, with his eyes dim and bright, one golden and the other gray, observing good and bad fortune.
The bad mountains and bad waters, the place where bandits live, naturally have more disasters than blessings. As for his life, it was stable and peaceful, although it was not more blessings than disasters, at least it was balanced.
Therefore, through this point, Li Changxiao could roughly infer whether they had entered a certain mountain area and whether there were any towns nearby.
Now that we have left the dangerous mountains and waters, we still need to be cautious in our actions if we do not want to be exposed in advance. Li Changxiao lowered his eyes. The body-covering robe was indeed eye-catching, and he needed to use some means to cover it.
When the dark fruit of dreams touches spiritual energy, it will turn into dreams and be fed back to the caster's dream, so magic and the like should not be used as much as possible.
I can only wait until I enter the city and buy a robe to cover the body-covering robe.
Everything was quiet all around. Li Changxiao tried to sort out the relationship. Since entering Dayu Country, he felt that the mountains, rivers and gods of this place were not as simple as they seemed on the surface, but he still could not comprehend the deeper connections.
The mermaid tribe is the tomb of the God of Dreams.
Why did the mountain and water gods of Dayu Kingdom help the mermaids?
What is the relationship between the two.
And what are the activities of the gods of mountains and rivers?
