The spring mountains were calm and gentle, like a young girl smiling.
The Yi River quietly flowed in front of the grotto, flowing calmly and beautifully, like the Great Buddha of Lushna in the grotto, serene and charming.
The color of the mountain was a crisp green, like the shallow stream in a stream, clear and shallow, but no matter how hard one tried, they could not see through it.
Yang Fan wandered through the forest, as leisurely as if he was walking on the beach of the South Sea. He liked the atmosphere here, relaxed, elegant, and natural.
Among the thick, soft leaves, there were already many unknown wildflowers and weeds. Yang Fan suddenly saw a few things that he was familiar with. They were tender wild vegetables. Looking carefully, there were many tender mushrooms and wild vegetables drilling out of the withered branches and withered leaves.
Cat's ear, purslane, Pentafang grass, shepherd's purse, broom sprouts, thorn buds …
Yang Fan squatted down to pick them in high spirits. At first, he felt that there were not enough wild vegetables, but when he really picked them, they soon filled his clothes.
Yang Fan was very happy. He could take these wild vegetables back and soak them in boiling water, dipping them in sauce. It would be a very delicious delicacy. Thinking of this, he could not help but think of his sister, the beautiful young girl who was like a green bamboo …
Suddenly, he heard a rustling sound. Yang Fan quickly wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and looked over. It was a little squirrel. The squirrel was holding a pine cone and dragging its fat tail. It stood under the roots of a tree not far away, staring at him with a pair of black eyes.
Yang Fan was teased by the little squirrel, and the sadness in his heart dissipated with the wind. He pursed his lips at the little squirrel and called out twice. The little squirrel was startled, threw away the pine cone, and quickly climbed up the tree. When Yang Fan saw its cute appearance, he could not help but laugh.
At this time, he heard another rustling sound. This time, it was definitely the sound of footsteps. Yang Fan turned his head in alarm. Under the forest, a corner of a white dress could be faintly seen …
In the col, Xiao Man squatted in the grass and dug up wild vegetables.
Although she was a beggar when she was young, she didn't know many kinds of wild vegetables. She was too young at that time, and the food she got was not enough to eat. When her mother needed to dig for wild vegetables, she would waste her time catching butterflies and insects.
It wasn't until her mother passed away that she and her Elder Brother depended on each other for survival. It was only then that her Elder Brother taught her to recognize some wild vegetables. She remembered almost every word that her Elder Brother had said. She remembered that her Elder Brother had once said that it was very delicious to use the chicken to make some sauce and dip it in some wild vegetables. She also remembered that when her Elder Brother had said this, that skinny little face that was always bruised and swollen would reveal an expression of extreme happiness, as well as a hint of desire.
Unfortunately, at that time, the two of them didn't have the chance to enjoy such a luxurious meal. It wasn't until she left her Elder Brother and followed Aunt Pei to Luoyang that she had the chance to eat the delicacy that her Elder Brother had mentioned. After so many years, she had fallen in love with this taste. However, if she wanted to eat this dish, she could only go to a restaurant to eat or go to the market to buy some wild vegetables and cook it herself.
Now, after accompanying Empress Wu to Dragon Gate, she realized that there were so many wild vegetables on the mountain. She could even recognize many of them. As she dug happily, she recalled the times when she and her Elder Brother would dig wild vegetables and bird nests in the forest when they were young. She felt a warm feeling in her heart.
"It's Shangguan Wei!"
Yang Fan squatted in the grass and saw the figure coming. It was Shanghai Wan 'er.
Moreover, she was alone without anyone accompanying her. Yang Fan couldn't help but feel excited. "Opportunity! A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Should I make a move? "
… …
No one knew how Shangguan Wan 'er felt about grass, trees, and forests.
Shangguan Wan 'er had been a slave in the palace since she was a child. When she was still a little girl, her mother washed clothes that were as tall as a mountain every day. Everyone in the palace had their own errands to do. When everyone was busy, the young Shangguan Wan' er would secretly leave behind the poems her mother wanted her to recite and run alone to spend time with the grass and insects.
She had a deep feeling for plants. She would feel completely relaxed when she saw them. Wandering in the forest, she didn't need to be as cautious as she was in front of Empress Wu. She didn't need to observe Empress Wu's expression at all times and analyze every word she said. She also didn't need to be as dignified and refined as she was in front of the scholars in Hongwen Library.
Here, she was completely free. She could run if she wanted to, jump if she wanted to, and sing if she wanted to. The air here was freer than in the palace. It was intoxicating.
Empress Wu was getting on in years. Every year after ascending the Dragon Gate, she would need to rest to recover. This period of time was the most relaxing time for Shangguan to wait for the imperial edict. She would always find a time to stroll alone in the green mountains and clear waters, as if immersed in the gentle spring water. She would remove the mask on her face and be herself completely.
This year, she was already twenty-five. Wan 'er, who had never had romantic thoughts before, was suffering from love. She felt even more depressed, so she was even more addicted to the feeling of wandering alone in the forest.
She took a deep breath of the fresh scent of plants and stood still. Through the green leaves, she looked at the Yi River, which was as smooth and bright as a jade belt. Her feelings turned into poetry. A new poem slipped out of her mouth. "The air is clear at dawn, and I admire the cherry flowers. The hawksbill turtle is the color of spring, and the colored glass ripples. I whistle on the rocks, and sing a short song as I climb the pines. Unless there is an outsider, who passes by? "
Shanghai Wan 'er had just said "who passes by" when she suddenly heard a rustling sound. Shanghai Wan' er turned her head and saw a figure rushing out of the forest like a cheetah. His ten fingers were spread out, and he pounced on her.
This person was wearing the uniform of the Imperial Army. His face was tightly covered with a cloth, revealing only a pair of eyes.
Shanghai Wan 'er was shocked. She didn't have time to shout before she was pushed down by the person, and she was firmly pressed to the ground. Fortunately, the ground was covered with leaves that had accumulated over the years. It was soft and wouldn't hurt her. Shanghai Wan 'er was about to shout when a large hand covered her mouth, covering most of her delicate face. Only a pair of frightened eyes could be seen.
"Don't shout if you don't want to die!"
A somewhat hoarse middle-aged man shouted fiercely.
Shanghai Wan 'er quickly blinked her eyes at him, showing a completely understanding and completely obedient posture. The masked man slightly raised his hand in satisfaction. Shanghai Wan' er, who was somewhat suffocated, took a deep breath.
The hoarse man said again, "Don't be afraid, I won't kill you!"
Shanghai Wan 'er calmed herself down and said angrily, "How dare you! Do you know who I am?"
The hoarse man said, "Of course I know. You are Shangguan Daizhao! I'm looking for you! Miss Shangguan, I have something on my mind that I can't get rid of. Only Shangguan Daizhao can solve it. As long as you obediently listen to me, once I achieve my goal, I will immediately let you go. I will not go back on my word! "
Shanghai Wan 'er fixed her eyes on him. A strange expression slowly appeared on her face. Her cheeks quickly became flushed. She said shyly and angrily, "You … you … Yang Fan, you actually … you bastard! What the hell do you want to do? "
"Ah?"
Yang Fan was startled and said, "How did you know it was me?"
As soon as he said this, he knew it was bad. When he said this, he forgot to cover his voice. Shanghai Wan 'er said shyly and angrily, "How did I not know it was you! How could I not recognize that sneaky look in your eyes? You … you … you really have eaten a bear's heart and a leopard's courage! "
Yang Fan pulled down the mask on his face. He was dumbfounded. Shanghai Wan 'er actually recognized him. What should he do?
Shanghai Wan 'er saw his appearance. Her heart was beating even faster. "This stinky boy, he actually took advantage of me walking alone in the mountains and covered his face …"
She thought about what he said just now. Things like "I won't kill you" and "I have something on my mind that I can't get rid of." Things like "Only Shangguan Daizhao can solve it. As long as you obediently listen to me, once I achieve my goal, I will immediately let you go …"
What he wanted to do, was there a need to ask?
Although Shanghai Wan 'er was as pure as a piece of white paper when it came to relationships, she was not ignorant of the common knowledge of relationships between men and women. She felt that she had guessed Yang Fan's goal. Her body immediately became hot. She did not know if she was ashamed, angry, resentful or hateful.
Some of the questions that she could not figure out, were suddenly cleared up. No wonder he pursued her for a few days. Seeing that her attitude was getting colder, he did not make any moves. It turned out that he had such dirty thoughts!
Yang Fan did not know that Shanghai Wan 'er was thinking about the wrong things. When he saw that she had seen through his identity, he was dumbfounded. What to do? She originally planned to take advantage of this once in a lifetime opportunity to force out the whereabouts of Miao Shenke. There were less than fifty to thirty thousand imperial guards around the Dragon's Gate. Where would she go to investigate? But now …
Yang Fan's heart was in a mess. Shanghai Wan 'er was firmly pressed against his body. Feeling his strong and masculine body, that faint masculine smell, her heart was dizzy. She became more and more embarrassed and annoyed. A strange feeling that she had never felt before was like a warm little mouse scurrying around in her body, making her uncomfortable and afraid.
Shanghai Wan 'er's face was red and she shouted in a low voice, "You bastard! Still not letting me go! You … Where are you grabbing? "
"Ah?"
Yang Fan then came back to his senses.
Just now when he pounced on Shanghai Wan 'er, he covered her mouth with one hand and stuck his other hand on her shoulder. Because his identity was seen through by her, he lifted his hand to pull off the cloth. When he put it back, he placed his hand on her chest. Because he was at a loss and did not know what to do next, he did not notice at all.
At this time, after being shouted at by Shanghai Wan 'er, Yang Fan then came back to his senses. He felt that the edge of his palm was smooth and soft. The texture was rich but it was not loose. The softness was extremely elastic. His face could not help but heat up and he quickly raised his hand.
Shanghai Wan 'er saw that his cheeks were slightly red and her face was even hotter. She wanted to struggle but his body was firmly pressed against her. Their abdomens were pressed against each other and their hips were kissing. When she moved a little, a strange feeling suddenly made her whole body go limp. It was as if her arm was being pressed down in her sleep. It was so numb that she could not use any strength.
Shanghai Wan 'er was embarrassed and angry as she said, "You … still not getting up?"
"Get up?"
At this time, Yang Fan really did not know what to do. At this time, a clear and cold female voice shouted, "Thief! How dare you! "
