The heroine Jiangshan

Chapter 203 Night of the Grassland ([-])

"It's so hot..."

Ye Shenyan wiped the sweat off his face, and when he touched his cheek with his palm, there was a rustling sensation, which was the salt powder left after the sweat evaporated by the sun.

He felt that he was about to be roasted and turned into jerky. It was grassland-style jerky, and it probably tasted pretty good...

Compared to Ye Shenyan's sweating profusely, Yun Ruochen was much calmer.

"Shen Yan, haven't you heard that a calm mind naturally cools down? Stop yelling, the more you yell, the hotter you will be."

Ye Shenyan could only ignore Her Royal Highness' teasing.Who made him less than home?Can't be like the princess and the master, constantly using the inner breath to regulate one's true energy, so it looks cool and sweatless, which makes people jealous?

Ten days ago, they were still enjoying a comfortable life in the imperial city with ice jars placed in the four corners of the house, but now they ran to the prairie to bask in the sun.

It's all for the legendary magic circle!
"Princess, we have arrived at this place."

Nie Shen unfolded the map in his hand, pointed to a certain point and said.

This was completely imitated according to the map left by Liang Lianqing, the real relic, Yun Ruochen left it in Chonghua Palace, and Ji Jianing took care of it.

Before leaving, Ji Jianing looked at her anxiously and said repeatedly: "Princess, I'm afraid."

It's only natural that she would be afraid.

Pretending to be a princess is still easy to do, but dealing with state affairs...that's not something she can do at all.

Yun Ruochen was actually not at ease, but there was nothing he could do.

Ji Jianing is very talented in spells, but in other areas, she has not shown extraordinary talents, and of course I have not given her any opportunities to practice.

After all, Ji Jianing is just the daughter of a poor scholar. Although she can write and count, she still has too little knowledge.She is a competent assistant, able to handle all kinds of paperwork for Yun Ruochen, and can also arrange many specific affairs according to Yun Ruochen's requirements, but when it comes to making decisions...it's too difficult for her.

Fortunately, there is still Zhao Xuan.

Zhao Xuan accepted Yun Ruochen's request frankly, even though Yun Ruochen never told him what kind of shocking event would make her put down the emperor and state affairs at such a critical moment and leave Beijing for more than a month.

He has always been like this, never asking her anything.This was Zhao Xuan's thoughtfulness, and it was so thoughtful that Yun Ruochen felt a little guilty.

A night in a tent on the prairie is very different from resting in an outback house.The roar of insects and beasts, the sound of beards, every sound and sound can only make people feel the tranquility and loneliness of this world.

Thinking of the long distance between heaven and earth, she shed tears alone, she didn't need to go up to the Phoenix Terrace, she could feel it too.

On nights like this, she would quietly walk out of the tent, look at the boundless sky above her head, and feel the splendor of the Milky Way cascading down.Then, he, he, he...their figures seemed to appear faintly in the starry sky.

She loves Nie Shen, but she understands that they will have no future.

She wanted to marry Ye Shenyan, but she couldn't give him complete love.

Be it Zhao Xuan or Gu Che, they have tried their best to treat her well, but has she really done anything for them?

Yun Ruochen felt that he was really in debt, at least in the emotional world.

She owes everyone, including herself.

Why can't it be simpler, why don't you let yourself go, and love someone who also loves you well and with all your heart, so that the man farms and the woman weaves, and grows old together?
"That's the emotional path of other girls, not mine."

She smiled wryly and said to herself from the bottom of her heart.

Love is a plague, it comes as it comes, you can't prevent it and you can't calculate it.Maybe there will be a day of healing, but the heart that has experienced emotional disasters can never return to the original simplicity, and naturally it is impossible to love others purely.

Nie Shen was her plague.

And she...is the doom of others.

The world is dark and yellow, the universe is prehistoric, cold comes and summer goes, autumn harvests and winter hides, the world is constantly reincarnating and revolving, and everyone's fate may have already been doomed.

But there are some things, even if they are doomed, she still has to make efforts, for the sake of her family...to break the cursed fate!
"How far is it from our goal today?"

Yun Ruochen frowned and asked Nie Shen.Of the three, he undoubtedly assumed the role of guide.

"There are still three hours. Before sunset, we should be able to arrive."

Their route is still very clear, and they are not running around on the grassland without thinking.

Before leaving Beijing, Yun Ruochen had exhausted all his energy to deduce the approximate range of the formation core in this huge magic circle.It sounds simple, but in fact it is extremely difficult, because the core of the circle is not necessarily in the center of the circle, it is not enough to find the center point according to the map.

This magic circle is set up rigorously, it can be said that it is deliberate, the core of the circle is actually set up extremely secretly, even Liang Lianqing probably didn't deduce it back then, otherwise she would have marked it on the map.

Fortunately, Yun Ruochen's sect has a special research on formations.

When Ji Jianing was listening to her princess master casually explaining that the Great Dharma Formation was set up by superimposing the Bagua Liangyi Formation, the Five Ghosts Yin Sha Formation, the Tiangang Big Dipper Formation, the Liuhe Formation, and the Soul Locking Formation, the head would explode Lost.But never thought that Yun Ruochen sneered, listed these formations one by one, and then pointed to a point on the map.

"Cleverness is misunderstood by cleverness. This group of idiots who set up formations are really unnecessary. If so many formations are stacked together, the core of the formation must be at the intersection of the formations. Isn't it hard to find?"

To put it bluntly, one needs to be someone who can break the formations, who can dismantle all these formations.A genius like Liang Lianqing couldn't do it.Yun Ruochen took advantage of the teacher's sect, and after spending a lot of effort, he really locked the formation core.

The goal is set, the route is easy to handle.

If the target range is too large and it takes a long time to search on the grassland, then Yun Ruochen really dare not leave Beijing at this pass!In that case, Ye Shenyan could only be wronged to be her substitute, live on the grassland for a year or so, and slowly dig the ground three feet to find the core.

The goal of their journey today is to reach the mules and horses market near Baoshi Lake, the largest lake on the grassland.

Mule and horse market, as the name suggests, started as a market for mules and horses, and then gradually developed into a semi-fixed market.

Many forces on the grassland have formed a delicate balance in the mules and horses due to various interests.

Nie Shen's plan was to replenish as much supplies as possible at the mules and horses market, and exchange for three healthy horses. They had been traveling fast for the past few days, and their horses were already very tired.

Moreover, their horses were brought from the interior, and they were far inferior to the good horses on the prairie in all aspects.

After driving for half a day, when the last twilight disappeared on the horizon, they finally arrived at the mules and horses market.

It's really exotic.

Leading the horse and walking on the simple dirt-paved streets of the mules and horses, Yun Ruochen looked east and west with great interest, feeling that everything was new.Ye Shenyan's reaction was similar to hers, they had never seen so many foreign peoples.

All three of them wore human skin masks carefully crafted by Tingyulou, and their appearance was extremely mediocre.Moreover, after they entered the grassland, they all dressed up as barbarians, and tried their best to imitate the barbarian style in their actions.As for speaking, Nie Shen knew Hu, and he was in charge of communicating with others, so Yun Ruochen and Ye Shenyan could easily pretend to be dumb.

If they were found to be Han Chinese, they would be robbed or beaten, even if they were killed in the street, no one would come forward to uphold justice.Who let this be Beihu's territory?

"Okay, let's go eat first."

Nie Shen was worried that Yun Ruochen was tired, so he was not in a hurry to replenish supplies, and led them to dinner first.There are people coming and going in the mules and horses market, and naturally there are businesses, restaurants, and inns, everything that one expects to find.

Yun Ruochen's mouth is very tricky, but he is also very capable.When she is away from home, she only regards eating as a task, and does not seek cleanliness and deliciousness.In her previous life, she wandered around with her master, and took all kinds of good jobs.Although she has been pampered and pampered in this life, she has not never experienced difficult circumstances, and she can handle them calmly.

However, the exotic delicacies at Luomaji really opened Yun Ruochen's horizons.

The roasted tender lamb, cut into strips and dipped in several spices, was served on a huge pottery dish, still steaming.The hard-looking baked pancakes are broken in half and put into the mouth with the beef with rich sauce, which has a unique aroma.The milk cake made of goat's milk is a bit gritty in the mouth, and after chewing carefully, the mouth is full of sweet and sour aroma, which is very appetizing.

What Yun Ruochen loves the most is the big plate of sauce and big bones, just looking at it makes him want to eat.You don't need to be particular, grab the hot bone with one hand, put your mouth to the side and suck it, the extremely delicious bone marrow juice will be rolled into the mouth by the tongue, and go down the esophagus, and the whole stomach will be ironed.

Yun Ruochen devoured it without any image, and Ye Shenyan also ate with joy.Nie Shen watched with a smile as the two swept away every plate, and he was full soon.

The restaurant is full of people, the flow of passengers is very large, and the smell is not very good - the characteristics of the horse herding people, they all have a smell of mutton.Yun Ruochen, who is so clean, doesn't care much about it, her patience is very high at certain times.

However, the overly strong smell and the unfamiliar environment made her slightly less alert.

Therefore, she didn't realize that there was a venomous gaze staring at her in the dark.

In the crude box on the second floor of the restaurant, Yun Baoling tightly covered her mouth, unable to believe her good luck.She actually met Yun Ruochen here!
She can't be wrong, she won't admit it, that figure from the back...is definitely Yun Ruochen.

Although her appearance has completely changed, and her clothes are completely in the style of a barbarian, Yun Baoling is still [-]% sure that she is the woman she resents day and night and wants to completely destroy!

"What? Yun Ruochen came to the grassland?"

The Master of Destiny was astonished, Yun Baoling hurriedly said: "Master, if Baoling dares to guarantee his life, it is Yun Ruochen!"

"You misunderstood the person." The leader frowned and said, "Didn't you say that you haven't seen her a few times at all? Besides, you haven't seen her for several years, right?"
