 After dawn, Nan He, who had been awake all night and lost his spiritual power, turned into a little Sirius, curled up in Yuan Xiang’s arms to make up for his sleep.

The servants of the Zhou family who were accompanying them looked at the girl sitting on the horse with her legs hanging from a distance, trembled and dared not approach.

Although their boss had always respected this little lady, Yuan Xiang was only a 16-year-old girl after all, and she had been very easy-going along the way. There was no special sense of awe.

Until the previous night, they watched helplessly as a huge demon appeared out of thin air, protecting her by his side, just to shield her from the wind and frost. They were so frightened that they dared not breathe overnight.

When they woke up in the morning, the huge demon was gone, but there was a little silver wolf with a unique fur in the little girl’s arms.

So not only did they dare not treat Yuan Xiang lightly, but even the kitten and fox who were beside her.

“Cat, Sir Cat, this is your lunch,” a servant carefully held the two pots of food just cooked according to Yuan Xiang’s instructions to Wu Yuan and Hu Sanlang, and did not dare to neglect at all. Who knew if such a small cat was not happy, he would suddenly turn into a mountain-like demon like that night, and swallow him in one bite.

Wu Yuan condescendingly licked a mouthful of the food, and found that there were a lot of dried scallops and dried shrimp in it, so he took a small dried fish and threw it in front of the servant with satisfaction.

The servant didn’t dare to dislike it, and respectfully returned to his companions with the reward in both hands, and let them look at the dried fish in his hands with tears in his eyes, “Look, everyone, Sir Cat rewarded me.”

 It was bumpy all the way from Ezhou, and after passing Xinyang, the official road finally flattened, which also meant that they were getting closer to the bustling Jingdu .

Although it was just passing by, everyone cheered up at the thought of seeing the bustling capital city.

“After leaving the capital and crossing the Yellow River, the next road will become more difficult, and it will never be as comfortable as before,” Qiu Yueming poured cold water on them.

Zhou Deyun’s entire face suddenly collapsed, “Wasn’t it difficult till now? Will the journey be even more difficult in the future?”

The eldest young master also had a disheveled face and a sore back, and could no longer maintain that state of being meticulous and elegant. When he heard that the next journey was going to be even more difficult, he couldn’t help but complain in his heart. But looking at the young gentleman and lady riding their horses, he, the “seven-foot man” who was sitting in the carriage, had to rub his bumpy buttocks and swallow the bitter complaint in his stomach.

“Ah Xiang, when we go to Jingdu , I want to visit Sister Qinghu to thank her for taking care of me before,” the carriage curtain beside Yuan Xiang’er was lifted, revealing half a girl’s beautiful face, she put her hands together in a gesture of asking for help, petite and cute.

Zhou Deyun, who was sitting in another carriage, caught a glimpse of that hand, and was taken aback,

God! The little lady who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. His heart couldn’t stand it. Zhou Deyun hurriedly covered his chest and lowered the curtain.

“Sister Qinghu, is she the one who lived in Jingdu before?” Yuan Xiang rode on the horse next to the window of the carriage. She was a little curious about the vixen that Hu Sanlang mentioned before, who had been living in the crowd.

“She has been living in Jingdu all the time. Has she never been discovered? That place is at the Emperor’s feet, a prosperous place. There are many capable people and different scholars. She has been living in peace for so many years. Your sister must be quite amazing.”

“Well, Sister Qinghu has lived in the world for a long time, and she is very familiar with everything about human beings. At the beginning, if she hadn’t taken me in, I might have died a long time ago.”

Hu Sanlang accepted Yuan Xiang’s invitation and planned to settle down in Queqiu. Therefore, after entering the capital, he planned to say goodbye to her.

The towering ancient capital was in sight from afar, and the chariots and horses in front of the city gate were magnificent.

When entering Decheng, one would see thousands of households, green trees, silver terraces, buildings and golden towers. 

In order to save time, Yuan Xiang and her party did not enter the inner city, but found a convenient inn in the outer city to rest.

Zhou Deyun ordered fragrant water to wash his face, washed his feet with hot water, changed his clothes, pressed his waist and beat his legs, and finally felt that he was alive again. He remembered something at the dinner table, and said regretfully, “There is a Master of music in Jingdu, who is named Lady Hu. This time, we are in a hurry and may not have the chance to see her. Such a pity.” 

Whenever people passed through the prosperous town and had a meal in a wine shop, they always invited some local singers and Qin master to perform and relieve their fatigue. These people, regardless of their skills, made Yuan Xiang and Qiu Yueming, who were not very interested in music, inevitably a little curious.

Yuan Xiang then said, “Since we’ve all arrived in the capital, why don’t I send the shop clerk to invite her. Let’s see what kind of music it is?”

Although she was more casual in life, in fact the treasury at home was full of gold and silver, and it could be spents, so she did not care about money.
