Portable Space: The Peasant Princess

 Chapter 618

When Gu Panxia returned to the front yard, the guests had already dispersed, and the county magistrate had long disappeared.

 Gu Panxia felt a little regretful in her heart, but she had no choice but to wait until the next time she went to see Aunt Hong to take a look at her.

When he got home, as soon as Gu Panxia sat down, he saw Xu Wen walking over in a hurry.

Gu Panxia frowned slightly, "Brother Xu, what's the matter?"

Xu Wen stepped forward and said urgently: "Girl, something serious has happened. The young master just sent a letter saying that something happened in the capital. He asked you to go there quickly. He will wait for you at the inn."

Gu Panxia stood up suddenly and asked doubtfully: "What happened in the capital?"

Xu Wen said in a heavy tone: "King Annan has already started taking action. The general was assassinated two days ago and was seriously injured. It is said that he is still bedridden. The tiger talisman for mobilizing troops is in the hands of the young master, and only General Zhenguo is in his hands. People are guarding.”

"King Annan has been secretly forming gangs in recent years. He has many factions and secretly raised many dead soldiers. The 300,000-strong army of General Zhenguo is still guarding the southern border and will not be able to come back for a while. Now The only ones who can be hostile to King Annan are the 100,000 elite soldiers that the young master has left in the capital."

The more she listened, the more Gu Panxia frowned. She didn't have time to say goodbye to Gu Dahai and Zhou, so she went directly to the stables and hurriedly left the backyard with Lie Yan in hand.

Xu Wen quickly chased after him. Gu Panxia grabbed the horse's rope, looked at Xu Wen and said, "Quickly fly the dove to pass the message, asking your young master to go back first."

 After saying that, before Xu Wen could react, she had already galloped away on horseback.

"What's going on? Why did Panxia leave in such a hurry?"

Hearing the sound of horse hoofbeats, Gu Dahai and Mr. Zhou both ran out and asked in confusion.

Xu Wen didn't have time to explain, so he just said: "I will explain this to you later. I have something else to do and I have to leave first."

 After saying that, he turned around and left hastily.

Gu Dahai and Zhou had worries on their faces.

Ms. Zhou sighed softly and said, "What's wrong with this child? Why did he just come back and then leave again?"

 Since they returned from the capital, they have rarely seen this daughter.

 Gu Dahai couldn't help but sigh: "Alas! I would rather she be an ordinary girl and live an ordinary life, than have her run around and work like this!"

 In the final analysis, it is their uselessness as parents that makes their children suffer so hard!

"What's going on? Where's that girl Panxia? Didn't she say she's back?"

At this time, Zhou Jian also walked in from the door. Gu Dahai and Zhou stood at the door sighing, and couldn't help but feel confused.

Mrs. Zhou looked at her brother helplessly and said, "Oh! Forget it. I don't know what Brother Xu came over to say. No, he left again before he could even sit down and didn't say where he was going."

"What? You left again? What on earth is this girl busy with?" Zhou Jian frowned.



He sighed softly, shook his head and said: "Well, that child is now older and a sensible child. He should know how to take care of himself, so let's not worry about it!"

　　――

Gu Panxia rode a horse and galloped out of Qingyou Town. Everyone saw only an afterimage flying past, but he was never seen again.

After Lu Yuan received the letter from Xu Wen, he asked the prince and Wen Shucheng to go back, while he stayed at the inn and continued to wait for Gu Panxia.

When Gu Panxia arrived at the inn, it was already two days later. She thought Lu Yuan had left first, but she didn't expect that he was still waiting for her.

"Why are you still here? Didn't I ask you to leave with the prince and the others first?"

Gu Panxia jumped off the horse and looked at him with a frown.

Lu Yuan smiled slightly and said: "I want to go with you!"

 At any rate, it was only two days late. Besides, now that the prince and others have gone back, he is missing.

“Isn’t the Tiger Talisman in your hand? If you don’t go back, how will you mobilize the army?”

 Lu Yuan smiled and explained: "Hu Fu, I have asked Zhao Bin to rush back to the capital without rest or sleep. It's almost time to arrive in a few days."

Looking at Xia Liumei, she still frowned and said: "But... isn't my uncle sick? Aren't you worried about him?"

She knew that Lu Yuan didn't like Lu Yi, but she didn't hate Lu Yi as much as she hated Mrs. Lu, right?

 No, even Lu Yi was injured, but he was indifferent!

“Don’t worry, Mu Qing has sent news that my father’s injury is no longer serious and he will be able to recover in a few days.”

Hearing this, Gu Panxia secretly breathed a sigh of relief. No wonder Lu Yuan wasn't worried. It turned out to be just a minor injury.

 But...since it was a minor injury, why did Xu Wen tell her that she was seriously injured and was still bedridden now?

“Didn’t Brother Xu say that my uncle was seriously injured and is bedridden now?”

  Could it be that Xu Wen was misled?

"This is just a pretense to spread the news to the outside world. Otherwise, how can we make King Annan relax his vigilance?"

 King Annan has been planning for so long. If Lu Yi didn't deliberately pretend to be seriously injured, how could he let him relax his guard?

“I will explain to you slowly later, let’s get out of here first.”

Lu Yuan hugged her waist, flew on the horse's back, and raised his riding whip.

Gu Panxia moved forward uncomfortably, "Where's yours?"

“The horse has already been ridden by Zhao Bin. The other horses are slower, so I gave mine to him.”

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he swung the whip in his hand hard at Lieyan. Lieyan was in pain, screamed, and ran forward.

Gu Panxia exclaimed and almost fell forward. Fortunately, Lu Yuan quickly grabbed her waist.

After calming down, Gu Panxia patted his chest and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Lieyan is very understanding of human nature, you don't need to be so harsh!"

She fed Lie Yan with spiritual springs, and even the grass she ate came from space. Usually Lie Yan would respond handsomely to whatever she said, but Lu Yuan treated her beloved horse like this, which was simply disgusting.

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly and chuckled: "It's my fault, don't blame my beloved wife!"

“Who is your beloved wife? I haven’t married you yet!”

 Gu Panxia couldn't help but roll her eyes. Is this guy really big-hearted or does he really not care? At this time, he is still in the mood to tease her.

"It seems that the little girl is impatient. Can you remind me to propose marriage earlier?"

Gu Panxia suddenly turned around, glared at him and said, "Lu Yuan, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Unexpectedly, he still raised his eyebrows and said in a good mood: "No, as long as you are here, I will always be in a good mood!"

 “Master?” Gu Panxia snorted coldly, “Your uncle is more or less the same!”

“My uncle is in the capital, but it doesn’t seem right for you to call your future father-in-law like this, right?”

Gu Panxia was speechless, turned her head angrily, and stopped looking at him.

Lu Yuan just smiled lowly and continued to speed up his horse, almost to the point of running wildly.

Gu Panxia clung to the horse's back tightly. Even though Lu Yuan was holding her, she still felt like she was going to be blown away by the wind.

 “Too thin, I need to eat more in the future!”

Lu Yuan's muttering suddenly came from above her head. Gu Panxia pursed her lips and refused to pay attention to him.

It was early spring at this time, and it was the time for learning. The sky was three points colder than when it snowed. Gu Panxia's lips had begun to turn purple, and even her nails were turning a light purple.

Lu Yuan took a breath and tightened his grip around her waist.

He lowered his head and suggested: "How about we find an inn to rest for the night, and then we can continue on our journey?"

Gu Panxia shook his head and refused, "No need, martial arts practitioners are not so delicate."

Seeing that the sun had already set and the air was even cooler, Gu Panxia couldn't help but shiver.

Lu Yuan's eyes flashed with a hint of unbearability, but thinking of the situation in Beijing, he had no choice but to suppress his heartache and continue on his way.

The setting sun was infinitely beautiful, but it was almost dusk. In just a short while, all the originally big and red sunset had sunk into the mountains.

Gu Panxia couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it is short-lived after all.

Lu Yuan chuckled and said, "You like the sunset. After the situation in the capital stabilizes, I will take you back to Xieyang Mountain to see it all."

Speaking of Xieyang Mountain, Gu Panxia felt a little regretful. He thought that when he went to Phantom City this time, he could take a look at Ziyun Sect, but he didn't expect to go in the end.

 The next time she goes to Phantom City, she must go to Ziyun Sect first.

 “What are you thinking about? Are you so absorbed?”

Seeing that she didn't reply, Lu Yuan couldn't help but frown slightly.

 Gu Panxia shook his head and said: "I didn't think about anything, I just felt a little regretful that I couldn't go to Ziyun Sect."

Lu Yuan chuckled again when he heard this. He slowed down his horse, put his chin on her head, and said with a smile: "It's just a small matter. If you want to go to Ziyun Sect, I will take you there next time."

He paused and then said: "The sunset there is much prettier than the one here in Dazhou, it's big and red."

Gu Panxia was skeptical, "Is it really that beautiful?"

Lu Yuan hummed slightly, and then said after a moment: "It's so beautiful!"

 Gu Panxia nodded, "Well, after everything here is over, you can take this girl to Xieyang Mountain. I want to watch the sunset there."

The two rode horses forward, and night fell quickly. The whistling sound of the wind could be heard from time to time in front of them. It was very cold. However, the two people on the horse seemed not to feel it. They were still in the dark night. Walking in the cold wind.

 “Tell me, why did King Annan start to mobilize his troops at this time?”

 Gu Panxia was a little confused. Logically speaking, he should have made some noise during the opening of Phantom City.

During this period, both Lu Yuan and the prince are not in the capital, so it's a good time to make a move, isn't it?

Lu Yuan snorted coldly and said: "He doesn't even know that I am the leader of Ziyun Sect. He will suddenly launch troops. I think someone informed him."

Gun Panxialuo figured out who the informant was as soon as he used his brain.

Other than Murong Bai, who else would inform King Annan?

“Why didn’t he notify me before, why did he wait until now?”

Gu Panxia was a little suspicious. Logically speaking, given Murong Bai's resentment towards Lu Yuan, his identity should have been exposed long ago. How could he endure it until now?

Lu Yuan sneered, "Murong Bai didn't know my identity before. He only found out about it when he arrived at Phantom City."

Gu Panxia frowned, "He didn't know it before, how come he knew it later?"

“This year the prince will not be able to disguise himself, and because the second and third sons are here, and there is one more person this year, you, I want to hide it, but I’m afraid I can’t.”

Gu Panxia nodded suddenly. After all, he was saying that they had caused his identity to be exposed?

Lu Yuan seemed to sense her dissatisfaction, pinched her face with his hand and smiled: "However, I don't blame you. After all, this identity will be exposed sooner or later, sooner or later."

 He had no intention of hiding it from everyone for the rest of his life.

　　It's just that when I go back this time, more people may be wary of him. I'm afraid even the emperor will be wary of him.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh. After all, those in power are always afraid of those who are stronger than themselves.

However, if he has the intention to rebel, I am afraid that the Zhou Dynasty has already changed its dynasty, so why wait until now?

 The prince understands this principle, so he is not wary of Lu Yuan.

“Lu Yuan, don’t you have any interest in the throne?”

He has such excellent conditions in all aspects, has a large number of troops, and is the leader of a Jianghu sect. Doesn't a person with such strength not covet the throne?

Unexpectedly, Lu Yuan shook his head without thinking, "No, not at all."

"What good is the throne? Staying in the imperial study all day long, reviewing those memorials, such boring things, it is better to live freely outside."

He has also lived in the palace for a period of time since he was a child, so he naturally knows that the place is magnificent on the surface, but in fact, it is just a cage, a beautiful cage.

Gu Panxia chuckled lightly, "I really saw the right person. If you are interested in the throne, then I will definitely not want you."

“Oh?” Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows, “Why?”

 “Because I don’t like it!”

　　Do all women in the world want to live a life of being aloof and arrogant to the world?

 She's lucky, she doesn't like it!

Lu Yuan couldn't help but chuckle, yes, wasn't that what he liked about her?

 She is naturally different from other women in the world!

His big hand pinched her waist gently and said with a smile: "My Panxia is still ambitious!"

The two were riding horses and walking in the dark night. At this time, the full moon had gradually risen into the sky and hung high in the sky. The clear moonlight fell down and shone softly on the two of them.

Gu Panxia closed her eyes slightly and rested in Lu Yuan's arms.
