After a few days of travel, no accident happened. Li Qing and his party quickly arrived at the foot of Baoji Mountain.

Qizhou is not a land with a large population. In the Kaiyuan period, due to Li Longji, there were as many Taoist temples in the Tang Dynasty. Because the people had a lot of spare money at that time, the incense money was enough to support the Taoist temples.

However, in the late Tianbao period, due to the random disturbances between Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong, the Tang Dynasty's national strength was actually much worse than before before.

Then An Lushan came to him again, and the people suddenly became a level that was difficult to not starve to death. Under such a world, there was naturally no one to offer to the Taoist temple.

As a result, there are now countless abandoned Taoist temples in the Tang Dynasty. Some of these Taoist temples have become places for beggars to rest, while others that were originally hidden in the mountains and forests have long been abandoned and overgrown with weeds.

This Taoist temple on Baoji Mountain was originally a place that Li Longji ordered Gao Lishi to renovate just in case. The reason why he chose this Baoji Mountain was because the path to the mountain was very difficult to walk, and ordinary hunters or people would not take this risk.

Whether it was Li Longji or Gao Lishi, they had never thought that this place would last for a day, but at Mawei Post, the two of them thought of this place, and not only used it, but also continued to use it until now.

When Li Neng and the others arrived at the foot of the mountain, a conversation was also taking place in the Taoist temple on the mountain.

This Taoist temple is located in a secret place. After a huge bluestone on the top of the mountain, it covers only a small courtyard surrounded by three small houses and a small house.

At this time, in one of the rooms, a woman who looked in her thirties, with a slightly fat body but no bloated feeling. Although she was wearing plain clothes, she could not hide the graceful woman between her eyebrows was sitting on the edge of the bed and sobbing quietly.

"Xiaozhu, is what you heard at the foot of the mountain true?"

Standing next to the bed was a woman about twenty years old, born with a strong and slender figure and a heroic figure. It was obviously the woman Li Longji told Li that she had been taking care of Yang Yuhuan.

Xiao Zhunai is a distant relative of Gao Lishi. She was helpless since childhood and was taken in by Gao Lishi. She grew up next to Gao Lishi and also received many true teachings from Gao Lishi in martial arts.

That's why Gao Lishi dared to recommend Xiaozhu to Li Longji at that time, and even Chen Xuanli had betrayed Li Longji at that time. Of course, the old man couldn't believe anything else, so he had to let Gao Lishi arrange this secretly, send Xiaozhu and Yang Yuhuan to Qizhou, and then let Xiaozhu take Yang Yuhuan here.

Li Longji had made a promise to Yang Yuhuan at the beginning, and this promise was that he would take her back from Baoji Mountain to Chang'an City sooner or later, and Xingqing Palace will always be Yang Yuhuan's home.

When Yang Yuhuan heard that Li Heng was about to become emperor, she was not shaken because she thought she knew Li Longji. No matter what Li Longji was to others, she was definitely a person who could do what she said.

When she heard that Li Longji had returned to Chang'an City and was called the Supreme Emperor, she thought that Li Longji would arrange someone to go to Baoji Mountain to pick her up, but there was still no.

In this way, Yang Yuhuan has been waiting until now, and she has never given up the glimmer of hope in her heart, just because Li Longji once made that promise to her at Mawei Post.

But now, she finally waited for a message that made her no longer have any hope.

When Xiaozhu went down the mountain to buy food, he heard something that was a big deal for the entire Tang Dynasty, that is, Li Longji and Li Heng died one after another within a few days. The current Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is Li Yan, the former King of Jianning.

This was a bolt from the blue for Yang Yuhuan. Because Li Longji died, he naturally could not fulfill the promises he made to her.

"It's true, madam, such news cannot be false. The heavens of the Tang Dynasty are really going to change. His Majesty is not yet thirty years old, so everything is different from before."

Xiaozhu sighed when she said this. She naturally knew Yang Yuhuan's true identity. She originally thought that she was just taking Yang Yuhuan to avoid the limelight, and she would naturally be able to send her back to Chang'an City in a few months.

However, they did not expect that An Lushan's rebellion became more and more serious day by day. If they hadn't been hiding in such a deep mountain, it would have been difficult for them to escape from the hands of the rebels with the appearance of Xiaozhu and Yang Yuhuan.

Finally, the rebels were retreated by the Tang army. When Li Heng proclaimed himself emperor, Li Longji returned to the court. However, the person who had always conveyed messages to Xiao Zhu regularly told him that Gao Lishi was not valued in Chang'an City under Li Heng's control. Li Longji lost his previous power and could only delay the incident of Yang Yuhuan returning to the palace.

In fact, by this time Xiaozhu already understood what was going on, but seeing Yang Yuhuan looking forward to it every day, Xiaozhu really couldn't bear to tell her the truth about appearing in Chang'an City.

In this way, life was going through day by day. Until today, Xiaozhu got the news that Li Heng and Li Longji had gone west. She knew that Yang Yuhuan must know her current situation.

"Yes, everything is different from before. I am no longer the imperial concubine of the Tang Dynasty, but just an ordinary woman who is wandering in the world! Xiaozhu, if I hadn't been you in the past few years, I would have died alone in the mountain. Today, you can help me for the last time and send me down the mountain, and then you will be free."

Yang Yuhuan was silent for a long time, and finally said this with endless sadness.

However, after years of getting along, Xiaozhu, who had known Yang Yuhuan very well, could tell at a glance that Yang Yuhuan's eyes were very empty at this time. When there was hope in the past, her eyes were full of expectations, but now, it is obvious that she no longer has any expectations for this world.

Xiaozhu knew what fate would be waiting for Yang Yuhuan if she sent her down the mountain at this time.

"Madam, over the years, I have long regarded you as my sister. When the Emperor goes, let me accompany my sister. It's not impossible for my sister to go down the mountain. It's just that we are here together, so we can take care of you!"

Yang Yuhuan could not resist Xiaozhu, and sat there in tears and pondered for a while, and finally nodded, but at this time she was thinking, even Xiaozhu couldn't see it.
