the other side.
King You, who had just got off the mountain halfway in his carriage, suddenly heard his guards say that a strange phenomenon had appeared in the sky.
He quickly stuck his head out of the carriage window and saw a golden beam of light from the Daluo Temple shooting straight into the sky. However, the golden beam of light disappeared in an instant.
"Leng Feng, Leng Ye, turn around and return to Daluo Temple."
Upon hearing King You's order, Leng Feng and Leng Ye quickly turned the carriage around and returned to Daluo Temple.
The thousand-year-old white lotus was in full bloom, and he couldn't let anyone else get it first.
However, when he arrived at the pond of Daluo Temple, it was empty. The thousand-year-old white lotus had long disappeared, and there was no one to be seen by the edge of the pond.
"Leng Feng, go check and see who is staying overnight at Daluo Temple today?"
After receiving the order, the cold wind immediately disappeared into the night.
After a cup of tea, Leng Feng appeared in front of King You again.
"Your Majesty, I have found the list of people who will be staying at Daluo Temple tonight, including -"
Leng Feng was about to tell the names of these people, but King You stopped him unexpectedly, hooked his finger at him, and asked him to whisper in his ear.
Then, Leng Feng whispered something in King You's ear, and King You's expression gradually became gloomy.
"Leng Ye, write a secret order according to my order and return to the Imperial City. Tell Lu Zhihong to do everything he can to get Jiang Qinian out of the prison and find a scapegoat to die for him. Also, find him a position in the Imperial City."
"Your Highness, this - haven't you already given up on Jiang Qinian as a chess piece? Why do you want to save him now?"
"Oh! What do you know? It's not bad to leave him here to disgust the Evil King. Send some people to keep an eye on the Evil King and a woman named Jiang Yimo. These two people suddenly disappeared. They must know the secret of the disappearance of the thousand-year-old white lotus."
Leng Feng and Leng Ye answered in unison: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
……
The next day, Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen lay in a relatively narrow carriage, face to face. They both opened their eyes at the same time, looking at each other.
"Feng Wuhen, where are we?" Jiang Yimo looked at Feng Wuhen with a confused look on her face and asked.
Feng Wuhen shook his head and replied: "I don't know either."
As they talked, the two sat up and glanced at the narrow space. Jiang Yimo was surprised and said, "We are in a carriage!"
At this time, the sky outside the carriage window was already bright.
"Hey, that's not right! Didn't we fall into a huge whirlpool last night? How did we end up here now?"
Feng Wuhen was also confused about these questions.
But at this moment, a voice sounded outside the carriage, "Master, Miss Jiang and Master Lan are awake."
A moment later, the carriage door was opened by a tall and thin middle-aged man.
Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen were stunned for two seconds when they saw the familiar face of the middle-aged man, and then asked in confusion: "Mr. Li, why is it you?"
After these words were spoken, a gentle smile appeared on Mr. Li's face.
"This morning my carriage passed by the river ahead, and my servants saw you two fainted by the river. Your faces looked familiar, so they rescued you. When I saw it was you two, I sent someone to the nearby village to get a doctor to check your pulse. The doctor said you were fine, just fainted from exhaustion. Then, I asked my servants to take you two to my carriage to rest."
"So that's how it is! Thank you so much, Mr. Li!"
After Jiang Yimo knew the whole story, she immediately thanked Li Yuanwai. Then, Feng Wuhen also thanked Li Yuanwai.
"It's okay. I just didn't expect that we would meet again in this way. But what puzzles me is, how could you faint by the river for no reason?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yimo fell silent. She didn't know how to respond. Everything that happened last night was too unreal. No one would believe her or Feng Wuhen if they told the story.
At this time, Feng Wuhen asked first: "Mr. Li, where are we now?"
"Oh, we are at the foot of Queer Mountain, south of Baihua City."
Although Mr. Li didn't know why Feng Wuhen asked this, he still told Feng Wuhen truthfully where they were.
"We were originally worshipping Buddha at the Daluo Temple on Jiguan Mountain, but we didn't know what we touched, and a mysterious wind blew us away in an instant... When we woke up again, we found ourselves in your carriage."
"Oh, I see. Last night, I was camping outdoors and saw a strange phenomenon in the north. A golden pillar of light suddenly shot up into the sky, but it disappeared very quickly. The location of the pillar of light seemed to be inside the Daluo Temple. I wonder if this pillar of light has anything to do with what you are talking about?"
After hearing this, Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen were stunned for a few seconds.
The two looked at each other and thought: I didn't expect that they made such a big noise last night. Didn't the whole Baihua City see that column of golden light last night?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yimo showed a faint smile at the corner of her lips.
"This... should be related."
Having said that, Mr. Li did not ask the two of them any further questions.
Then, Jiang Yimo also looked at him and asked, "Mr. Li, why did you come to Baihua City?"
"I came here yesterday because I had some business to discuss in Baihua City. This morning I was going to visit an old friend in a small town, but I didn't expect to meet you two when I passed by the river. It seems that we are really destined to meet. Miss Jiang, can you please call me Uncle Li because I am an old acquaintance of your mother?"
"Haha, of course you can. I also feel it's weird to call you Mr. Li, Mr. Li every time. If you don't mind, I'll just call you Uncle Li."
Jiang Yimo finished speaking and smiled again.
When Mr. Li saw Jiang Yimo's sweet smile, he felt as if he saw the shadow of an old friend.
For a moment, he was mesmerized.
However, Mr. Li was distracted for only a moment and then immediately returned to his normal state.
"You must be hungry. I'll go out and ask someone to get you something to eat."
Then, he turned around and arranged for the servants to prepare some food for Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen to fill their stomachs.
Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen ate some porridge and dry food that Li Yuanwai had prepared, and then said goodbye to Li Yuanwai. She and Feng Wuhen wanted to rush back to the city before dark, so that Qingzhu and Feng Wuhen's guards would not be anxiously looking for them.
Before leaving, Mr. Li suddenly gave her an exquisite, cool little wooden box.
He smiled and said, "Girl, I got the things in this wooden box by chance. Uncle Li has no use for it. I know you have medical skills, and you may find something useful in it. Take it and open it when you get back."
"Uncle Li, this-this is not good! The things inside should be very valuable. I can't take it."
Jiang Yimo looked at the small wooden box in her hand and felt that the things inside must be very valuable, so she refused without thinking.
