C8

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Yue Ziyue sat on a horse carriage parked outside the Emerald Moon Restaurant. The horse carriage was covered with the moonlight as it hurriedly headed southwest.

In the dark, Yue Ziyue couldn't tell the distance. It was a bumpy and bumpy road, and before long, they entered a small mountain path.

Yue Ziyue felt as if she had entered a forest, as if birds were chirping by her ear. In the silence of the night, she only felt that there was something horrifying about her.

A torch suddenly lit up in front of her. Yue Ziyue lifted the curtain and looked forward. A faint shadow stood behind the tree.

As they got closer, the carriage stopped in front of the person who was driving the carriage. The guard quietly jumped off the carriage and saluted that person. Yue Ziyue followed him out of the carriage. The person she saw was a tall man wearing a mask.

"Yue Ziyue?"

The man's voice was thick and ethereal, revealing his thick mask. Yue Ziyue couldn't see his face, nor could she distinguish his real voice.

"That's me."

"Follow me."

The man's words were simple. He took Yue Ziyue with him and entered the forest. With light steps, he left behind a mark in every place he went. He also explained to Yue Ziyue what each mark represented.

Yue Ziyue was muddle-headed from what she had heard, so she could only nod her head in agreement. Watching the dark night and the strong and tall man before her, she felt a little scared.

Fortunately, the man had explained everything, and when he looked at Yue Ziyue with distrustful eyes, he hurriedly sighed, "I hope Sixth Master chose the right person."

"What?"

The man waved his hand. "It's nothing. You'll stay here tonight. Tomorrow morning, the emperor will come to the west field with the princes and princes. Be smart. There's only one target, Yan Muqing. No matter what happens, you just have to do your best."

Yue Ziyue nodded her head in ignorance. As she watched the man disappear into the forest, the hairs on her body stood up. In all her life, she had never stayed in the forest by herself before. Just thinking about it made her frightened.

Fortunately, when she was young, after climbing a tree and being light, she finally found a sense of security after climbing up a thick tree trunk.

He had all sorts of feelings in his heart as he took out Yan Muqing's jade pendant. His emotions were stirred up, but when he thought of Yan Muqing's ice-cold face, he suddenly felt disgusted.

The sky turned white as the fish belly white. Yue Ziyue had not slept the entire night, yet she felt that the night had been so long.

The treetops above her shook, and in the blink of an eye, a few crows flew past. Yue Ziyue was so scared that goosebumps appeared all over her body.

He had heard the story of the crow from his family's elders when he was young. Wherever the crow flew by for no reason, something bad would definitely happen.

As a new generation woman of the 21st century, Yue Ziyue had never believed in this kind of feudal superstition. However, she didn't know why, but she felt that things wouldn't go well for her today's western hunting.

He retracted his gaze and jumped off the tree trunk, startling the withered leaves on the ground.

Yue Ziyue walked around and found that the forest was very large. The trees were neither too dense nor too sparse, there was only a road a hundred steps away. There wasn't a single reference object anywhere other than the road.

For Yue Ziyue, who didn't have a good sense of direction, it was easy to get lost in this kind of place where everything looked the same.

Fortunately, that person made many markings before he left. Yue Ziyue was still able to find the place, but there were too many markings. After a night, Yue Ziyue had almost forgotten all about it.

In the early morning, a layer of fog slowly rose up in the forest. The sun was high in the sky, and only then did faint shouts come from the distance.

Jumping onto the tree trunk, Yue Ziyue guessed that the Emperor had already arrived at the west field. She just didn't know when the hunting round would begin.

After a long while, she heard the sound of horse hooves. Yue Ziyue hid behind the leaves, not daring to show her face, and looked down from the tree.

A group of horses galloped past. Sitting on the tall and big horses were all black uniformed soldiers. They were probably soldiers assigned to guard the area. Seeing this, Yue Ziyue felt troubled.

Her voice grew distant and Yue Ziyue couldn't help but to feel curious. She wanted to see what the Emperor of Li Jing looked like when he went out travelling.

As she thought of this, Yue Ziyue jumped off the tree trunk. She specially took a hidden grass path, looking for the place where the sound of music and bamboo could be heard.

The west field had just opened, and the number of soldiers on guard kept increasing. The closer Yue Ziyue got, the more dangerous she felt.

However, she had still underestimated her curiosity. On the way there, she had actually cleared a thick layer of green vines and saw thousands of soldiers on the ground.

A bright yellow sedan chair was slightly shaking. There were four soldiers standing guard in front and behind it. The sedan steadily landed on the ground. The eunuch lifted the curtain and walked out of the sedan, wearing a bright yellow robe.

She was no longer young, but her mental state gave off a very good feeling. Yue Ziyue was a little afraid. This person had a strong aura, and it seemed as if just a glance at him would cause her to tremble in fear.

Yue Ziyue's gaze was fixated on that person the entire time. Her guess was right, besides the emperor of Li Jing, who else could be surrounded by other people?

When Yue Ziyue saw this place, she was both excited and nervous. The number of soldiers in the surrounding became more and more. When the emperor walked out from his tent, he had already put on a beautiful set of armor, looking majestic.

A tall horse with glossy hair was led over by a eunuch, but the emperor didn't jump onto the horse. Instead, he sat on the side and was served by everyone, as if he was waiting for someone.

Not long after, a young eunuch ran over from afar and bowed to report something. The emperor stood up and looked into the distance.

Yue Ziyue subconsciously looked towards the direction where the Emperor was looking. A cloud of dust was rising from the ground far away, and in the midst of the smoke, a person riding a whip was approaching.

In the blink of an eye, the horse had already galloped over. The tall and handsome man dismounted from his horse and quickly walked over to the emperor. He gave him a big bow.

Rubbing her eyes, Yue Ziyue finally saw who it was. It was Yan Muqing. She had finally managed to get him here.

Yan Muqing's complexion was quite good today. Her face was not as cold as the one Yue Ziyue had seen. In front of the Emperor, she had an extra smile on her face.

It was unknown what the two of them talked about, but to Yue Ziyue, it was only a bland conversation. Both of them said that the Emperor's House did not have any true feelings, so it was likely that they were just exchanging polite words.

While they were chatting, Yan Yusheng had also rushed over. Yue Ziyue's heart skipped a beat, and she realized her mission only after entering into a trance for a while.

After glancing at Yan Muqing, he turned around and returned to the marker.
