At the same time, the sound of rolling carriages came from behind them.

Song Qingyu turned around and saw a beautiful four-horse carriage. It was very conspicuous on this narrow mountain path. It was not difficult for Song Qingyu to realize that this was Zuo Linyi's carriage.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted.

Zuo Linyi was dressed in green and wore a white jade crown. Compared to his usual sloppy hair, he was much more serious today. It had a unique air to it. A jade pendant hung around his waist. Song Qingyu didn't know if it was because he was too well-dressed, but he felt that today's Zuo Lin Yi looked even better.

Zuo Linyi smiled. "What?" The carriage fell down? Song Qingyu, you have truly made me look at you in a new light. "

Song Qingyu suddenly had an idea when he saw Zuo Linyi. It would be better if he had a witness. Wasn't Zuo Linyi right in front of him? Furthermore, he wouldn't have to climb the mountain anymore.

He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Ninth Prince, are you willing to give me a ride?"

Zuo Linyi's phoenix eyes moved slightly as she glanced at the crafty Song Qingyu. He did not reject Song Qingyu's ability to borrow his power.

He then stretched out his hand, "Come up."

The corners of Song Qingyu's mouth curled up. He did not think much as he pulled Zuo Linyi's hand and got into the carriage. His palm felt warm, but it also felt weak. At the same time, a strange feeling welled up in Song Qingyu's heart.

He was stunned, and had already boarded the carriage. The interior was wide, but very comfortable.

Zuo Linyi turned to look at the vigilant Nannan below, smiling as he teased, "This little girl beside you, is she walking up the mountain?"

He was extremely good-looking. When a man smiled like that, Song Qingyu did not feel any disharmony, "Of course we go up the mountain together." Song Qingyu glared at him and turned to look at Nannan before pulling her up.

Nannan was scared witless as she always felt that the Ninth Prince was targeting her little miss. Moreover, according to the rumors, Zuo Linyi didn't like sitting in the carriage with others.

Even if it was King Yu, he might not even let a maid into the carriage. And in front of him, the ninth prince didn't seem to care at all.

When Nannan thought back to today, she actually sat in Zuo Linyi's carriage.

This was a little too strange.

The horse carriage slowly moved. Compared to Song Qingyu's horse carriage, it was much more stable. Song Qingyu was not sure if he was moving.

"The ninth prince also went up the mountain?"

Zuo Linyi, who was leaning against the wall, raised his eyes slightly upon hearing this. "It was Imperial Mother's idea. Why would this prince believe this?"

Song Qingyu thought so as well. Zuo Lanyi was so conceited, he must not have believed it.

But if he didn't believe it, why would he come? If it was the empress's orders, he might not listen either. It even appeared in such a timely manner. According to Song Yiyan's plan. She probably wouldn't let him go so easily, which would ruin her plans.

Song Qingyu suddenly thought of something. It seemed that many times had an accident occurred to him. The first people he saw were Zuo Linyi. Moreover, Zuo Linyi's palm seemed to have some wounds. Could it be burn marks?

When this thought appeared in his mind, it shocked Song Qingyu.

He subconsciously looked at Zuo Linyi and the carriage suddenly stopped.

Song Qingyu did not pay attention and charged forward. Nannan wanted to pull her back, but the forward momentum only made Nannan grab onto the corner of her clothes.

His shoulders were held firmly.

Song Qingyu felt a brief flash of anger as he saw himself being embraced by Zuo Linyi.

Mu Quan raised the curtain and looked into Zuo Linyi's eyes. He immediately knew that his master was angry. But he couldn't be blamed for stopping suddenly.

Mu Quan was embarrassed: "Someone in front bumped into me, I could not control myself."

"Has anyone ever run into a carriage?"

Mu Quan was speechless, and immediately retreated, "This subordinate understands."

Nannan slightly paused, does this mean I will directly crush him? Nannan pulled on the corner of Song Qingyu's clothes with some lingering fear. She looked up and saw that the person blocking the carriage was a man covered in blood. It seemed like he was about to die.

This man was not enough to shock Nannan, but Nannan remembered that this was Mu Pei'er's coachman.

"Miss, it's him!"

Nannan was so excited she could not speak clearly.

Song Qing and Yu's eyes lit up as they prepared to look over. The curtain had been drawn down by Zuo Linyi.

Song Qingyu was stunned as he glared at him. The carriage began to move.

Song Qingyu originally came to watch the show, but Zuo Linyi didn't seem to be in the mood. She turned and parted the curtain on the side. The wind was calm, and there was no sign of Mu Pei'er. It was obvious that a carriage was charging down the cliff.

So that's how it was. As expected, Song Yiyan was prepared to kill her immediately.

It was a pity that Song Qingyu did not see Mu Pei'er's corpse. He put down the curtain regretfully and pretended that he did not see the mark of the carriage.

After an hour, the carriage finally stopped. Song Qing Yu alighted from the carriage and noticed that there were tall stone steps leading upwards. It was as far as the eye could see. It was completely different from the Pufa Mountain he had seen before.

"From this road, we will reach the mountain gates of Pufa Mountain."

"Aren't you coming along?"

Zuo Linyi waved his hand and walked to the other side of the stone steps. "This prince is not interested in incense." Go and ask the host for a peace talisman and go back. "

The road that Zuo Linyi took led to a side room at the back of the mountain.

Song Qingyu was a little curious, wasn't Zuo Linyi directly going to the chamber to look for the host? Seeing him leave, she did not ask any more questions and could only pick up her clothes and walk up the mountain step by step. "Nannan, let's go up together."

Nannan was slightly shocked as she followed Song Qingyu upwards.

The stone steps of the mountain path seemed to go on forever. The two of them were both dressed in thick clothes. It took them quite some time before they reached the top of the mountain. They discovered that they had reached the center of Pufa Mountain, which was known as the Puhe Temple.

Not far from this path was the true path up the mountain. It was spacious and open. Looking down, he saw the lofty mountains and lofty ridges within the clouds, awakening.

The mountains on both sides stood tall, surrounded by clouds and mist. The tallest mountains that could be cut by swords and axes stood proudly in the middle of this mountain, standing between the heavens and the earth.

The monk swept the road without any distractions.

The tall vermilion temple door was tightly shut, grand and solemn.

Song Qingyu held his breath and slowly moved forward. Even Nannan could not help but feel a bit nervous from this atmosphere. When Song Qingyu reached the center, the gate of the temple opened.

At the same time, the sound of the bell rang out, resounding throughout Pufa Mountain.

It meant that someone had entered the mountain.

The people who hadn't arrived all stopped, wondering who would be the first to enter the mountain gate this year. Su Sining's footsteps also stopped at the same time, looking up from afar. The mountain gate was wide open, and she was clearly only one step away.

Susning clenched his fists, finding it extremely hard to believe. When she saw that it was Song Qingyu, she was astonished. She was certain that the Song Manor's carriage had yet to depart when she first passed by.

Every year, she was the first person to climb the mountain, and this year, Song Qingyu had snatched the opportunity away.

And completely unconscious.
