To the east of Huangfei County, after passing through a small wood, and walking a little further away, you will see a stream, cross the stone bridge, and a temple is not far away.

“So beautiful!”

Xiao Yue'er looked at the thick wishing tree in front of the temple and ran forward in three or two steps, raised her head, and looked at the blooming red flowers above and the wishing sign hanging on the trunk.

This wishing tree is a phoenix tree, with leaves like flying phoenix feathers and flowers like crowns of phoenixes, symbolizing the meaning of flying wings and flying together. It was originally a tree in the south. Later, Empress Shude passed away, and the ancestor of Liang Kingdom sent someone to plant a phoenix tree sapling here.

In a blink of an eye, two hundred years have passed.

The phoenix saplings used to have grown into a towering tree.

Lin Chen walked under the tree, looked at the red ropes and wishing signs all over the trees, and asked a passerby beside him: "Brother, do you know that there are so many red ropes and wishing signs hanging here, won't Liang Guo get angry?"

The passerby smiled and said, "At the beginning, it seemed that the founder of Liang State was quite angry, but later the chief assistant of Liang State persuaded: "This phoenix tree itself is planted by His Majesty to express his longing for Empress Shude. Empress Shude's mother is in the world. What's wrong with this phoenix tree now becoming a lovesick tree for mandarin ducks to make wishes? Isn't this the manifestation of the awe and love of Empress Shude in the world?" So Emperor Liang personally issued an order to name the phoenix tree the wishing tree. Once the matter spread, it was not only our Huangfei County, but also the couples elsewhere in Jingchu who came here to see it thousands of miles away and made a pair of wishes. And this matter became a beautiful story!"

"It seems that the last emperor of Liang State is considered a love-infatuated person." Lin Chen smiled.

Lin Chen was alone, so naturally he had no desire to make a promise. As a lady from a family, Mu Yuejiao paid attention to the orders of her parents and the words of her matchmakers. She couldn't even think about such things, so after watching under the wishing tree for a while, they walked towards the temple.

Because Empress Shude was frugal all her life and even the funeral was held very ordinary, the temple in Huangfei County was actually not big.

Lin Chen and the four walked in.

Just after walking a few steps, a middle-aged man walked over quickly and looked at the people. His eyes finally stopped on Lin Chen and Mu Yuejiao, and asked with a smile: "Are you two here to burn incense and pray? I have a good incense, and I can get a bundle of them for only six cents, how about it?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "We are just here to play, not here to pray."

When the middle-aged dealer heard this, he glanced at Lin Chen and Mu Yuejiao, and said to himself: "I'm not here to pray for this Shude Temple. Are you cheating on me?"

But these words naturally cannot be said.

Although he complained in his heart, his smile still stood on his face and said, "This young man is really good at joking. Although there are not many places to play in Huangfei County, if he really wants to play, he can still find the place. How could he choose here?"

The middle-aged vendor paused and continued, "Actually, you don't have to be shy. I have bought incense here for several years. I have seen many lovers like two people, but when I enter the temple, I lit an incense stick and pray for a wish, it will be almost done! If you are more interested, you can hang a mandarin duck prayer card on the phoenix tree. But when it comes to prayer cards, my nephew who was the scholar was there to write a wish for others, two..."

Lin Chen was speechless.

Everyone told the truth, why don’t you believe it?

Seeing that he was about to continue talking, Lin Chen shook his head, ignored him and walked quickly towards the temple.

There are quite a lot of people in the temple, but most of them are either pairs or the staff here are there. There are no one like Lin Chen who comes to play alone.

Lin Chen didn't mind at all, so he stood by and watched the lovers walk past him, and then went forward to pray.

"Uncle Liu? You..."

Lin Chen watched Liu He walk past him.

Liu He hesitated for a while, and looked at his expression, and seemed a little embarrassed, but after hesitating for a while, he finally walked forward and knelt down to the position of Queen Shude, whispering something.

Mu Yuejiao leaned over slightly and explained in a low voice: "Uncle Liu is over forty years old, but he has no family yet."

Lin Chen suddenly realized.

Soon, Liu He had already stood up.

When Lin Chen and others looked at it, they smiled embarrassedly and said, "I have no great ambitions in my life. I just want to find a wife to have a hot pot and give birth to another fat boy and add incense to the next time."

"What are you all watching me?" Liu He was stared at by everyone's eyes and turned slightly blushing.

Seeing this, the few people laughed.

After leaving the Shude Empress Temple, Lin Chen and others visited elsewhere in Huangfei County for a while, and did not return to the inn until it was almost evening.

No words all night.

After resting for a night, Lin Chen and others set off again.

After walking for a while, Liu He, who was driving the carriage, suddenly shouted to Lin Chen beside him.

"What's wrong?" Lin Chen sat on his big red horse and turned around and asked.

"Before leaving, I asked the people in the inn a lot of things. After hearing about the road ahead, it started to be a little uneasy. Please ask Young Master Lin to take action at that time!"

Lin Chen nodded and said, "Don't worry, since I promised Miss Mu to escort her Jingzhou, I will naturally not go back on my word!"

Sure enough, when Lin Chen and others walked about to walk through a small hill on both sides and looked at each other, shaped like a canyon, suddenly there were noisy sounds.

Lin Chen shook his head and slowed down.

He didn't have to think about it, but he knew that this was a bandit coming.

Among the five states in the world, Nanzhou belongs to a relatively special area.

There is Qing Kingdom in the East Prefecture, Liang Kingdom in the West Prefecture, Tubo, Xia Kingdom in the North Prefecture, and Turkic Kingdom. Only Nanzhou is an area without any state management.

There is no reason, just because there are too many sects in Nanzhou. Even if they are as powerful as Jin, they cannot suppress the Taibai Jianshan and other sects in their own territory. After seeing the heads of these sects, their ancestors would have to act politely. In this way, how can they manage Nanzhou, which has several times more sects than Zhongzhou?

If we really want to send troops out to suppress the situation, I am afraid that a sword immortal will arrive in the palace the next day and show them what it means to open the sky with one sword.

In this way, the vast land of Nanzhou seems very chaotic.

It would be fine if the area around Zhenwu Pavilion, which eliminates violence and maintains good fortune, is fine, but if it is other places, there will be a group of bandits between almost two or three counties. Some bandit groups even go out together to occupy the mountains and become kings!
