Empress, she is beautiful Lu Ziye

Chapter 163 Out of the City
This world can't tolerate people whose hearts are higher than the sky and whose lives are thinner than paper.

If you want to resist the fate you have been assigned, you have to be willing to cut yourself to pieces, and go out alone to stand upright in front of the family.

While relying on the shade given by the elders in the family, while thinking of defying and doing whatever one wants, how can there be such a good thing in the world?

But Liu Mo is still a bit interesting.

He was not specially inserted by Chen Wang's faction, many people in the same batch as him received olive branches, but he was the first one to accept them.

Letting his own sister marry Shen Xian is a statement of his position.

Leaning by the window, I can hear the whispers of passers-by on the road, most likely they are discussing the marriage of the two families.

Xiao Rongxi listened for a while, feeling bored, glanced at the long street, then looked up at the sky, and asked, "Is it time?"

"Go down and have a look."

They deliberately chose to go out of the city today, to go to Mount Yushan, ten miles away from Beijing, where the king of Chen secretly hid gunpowder.

The Shen and Liu families held a big wedding, and there were many people, so he also sent people over to attract the other party's attention, so as to avoid being found out about going out of the city.

After a few breezes, the tea in the cup is already cold.

Xiao Rongxi refilled half a cup, put it near his mouth, and took a few sips. Before he could put it down, light footsteps came from the corner of the stairs, mixed with the creaking sound of wooden boards.

Jin Lin was coming up the stairs, cupped his hands, "Your Majesty, you can go now."

"Let's go then."

Xiao Rongxi put down the teacup, and the bottom of the cup collided with the saucer, making a slight sound. Before the lingering sound fell, the person had already stood up, straightened his clothes and went out.

Yanshan is not close, and it is not far.

The mountain is densely covered with shrubs, tall trees can be seen everywhere, and the strange rocks act as a natural barrier in between, forming a trend that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Therefore, the bandits who entrenched here a few years ago would wantonly rob the passers-by at the foot of the mountain.

They robbed money and food, robbed their wives and murdered their children, and even burned, killed and looted villages within a radius of several miles.

The government was very troubled by this, and they failed to suppress them several times. In the end, a woodcutter named Lou Shen led his officers and soldiers along trails, marched in the dark on the mountain for several days, went deep into the bandit's den, and cooperated with the inside and outside to catch them all.

Since then, there has been no banditry for many years.

But the notoriety of the bandits had already spread far and wide. Although there were roads down the mountain, there were not many pedestrians. No one would have thought that the bandits' lair would be occupied by others, and they would use the natural advantages of the mountain to make gunpowder in it.

The discovery this time is still thanks to Lou Shen.

It was because he fell on his leg while chopping firewood in the surrounding area on a rainy day, so he found a nearby place that could shelter from the rain and rested, preparing to spend the night.

Unexpectedly, in the half-dream and half-awake state, I saw someone going up the mountain holding a torch from a distance, thinking that bandits appeared again, and when I was about to report to the police, I was bumped into by Xiao Rongxi's people and blocked the news.

After several investigations, it took nearly two months before I found out that this place was actually the work of King Chen.

The horses were excellent and their feet were extremely fast. They rode lightly and arrived at the foot of Mount Yu very quickly.

Jin Lin took the reins from Xiao Rongxi's hand, hid the horse in the shade that he had chosen long ago, parted the grass, and walked up the rugged and steep path.

This is a route planned in advance. There are people who respond and observe hidden in the mountains, or hide among the leaves, or crawl in the bushes, so as to find something strange and report it at any time.

Jinlin lowered his voice and carefully pushed aside the thorns in front of him, "Your Majesty, this way."
