Right now, the Wind Defense Forest was small and dense, which greatly reduced the amount of sandstorms in the Gong Bian.

Shan Ying had been promoted to be his deputy, and the two of them expanded the original three to five hundred people army camp to nearly three thousand. Through their daily training, their soldiers' abilities had increased tremendously, causing the poor bandits in the desert to not dare to invade.

The entire village near the Gong Bian was at peace, and the fields that were being cultivated was also flourishing under Jin Xiaolou's tutelage.

Gao Lang was also training with Hu Shan every day, but when he heard that Jin Xiaolou was going to personally send Sier to Golden Broad Mountain, no matter what, he had to go with him.

Gao Lang entrusted the Lin'er to Chang An for him to take care of. Originally, he had planned to make a trip with Jin Xiaolou.

But when Jin Xiaolou looked at the picture of the mountain and river that Gao Lang had placed on the table for a long time, he had an idea. She asked Nian Er to be with his sister, and brought Nan Yang along to travel.

At night, while listening to the children's soft sounds of sleep, Gao Lang hugged Jin Xiaolou under the blanket and asked puzzledly, "Why did you bring Nan Yang along?"

"This time we'll go to Golden Chuan Mountain, first we'll head east, then we'll head south. If we want to pass by Green River Town, our Shuzhou will be close to Green River Town." Jin Xiaolou continued, "I think we might as well go to the Shuzhou and take a look at Nan Yang's hometown."

Jin Xiaolou had always been brooding over the Yao Xi and peach blossoms on the Empress's phoenix robe, so she didn't have any other questions.

"Alright." Gao Lang nodded his head, this matter was related to his mother, if he could find some clues on this trip, that would be for the best, even if he could not find anything, it would just be for the sake of Little Lou.

Although Shuzhou's terrain was dangerous, the scenery was not bad.

However, there were a lot of miasma in many places on the Shuzhou, making it very inconvenient for them to bring Sier there. Thus, they decided to first go to the Jin Jun Mountain, and then circle around the Shuzhou when they returned.

Gao Lang turned his body to the side, and wrapped his arms around Jin Xiaolou's head. Jin Xiaolou's head coincidentally rested against Gao Lang's neck, so the two of them slept close to each other like this everyday.

It was just that when he got up the next day, the originally well-behaved Jin Xiaolou, who was originally sleeping obediently, would definitely be sprawled on the ground with his arms and legs on top of Gao Lang's body.

As it was too bumpy riding with Sier around, Gao Lang found a carriage and pulled by two horses. They ran faster and steadier.

Jin Xiaolou carried Sier and sat in the carriage, while Gao Lang drove the horse outside.

Their journey was peaceful and smooth, and in less than half a month, they had already arrived at the side of Wuli River. Currently, South Yi and Great Zhou were interchanged with each other, and every day, there were merchants passing by between the two nations.

By the time he arrived at the twenty-fourth city, it was already dusk, and the boat carriage was already running out. Gao Lang then ordered Nan Yang to find an inn to stay at first, but tomorrow morning, he would cross the river and go up the mountain.

Once she entered the room, Jin Xiaolou hugged Sier and cried.

Jin Xiaolou never liked to cry, she only felt that all her tears were about to fall on Sier's body.

But Sier was her biological child, how could she bear to part with him? Just as she was about to leave him, her emotions uncontrollably started to collapse...

Seeing that his wife was in so much pain that she couldn't control herself, Gao Lang also felt sorry for her. He kissed Jin Xiaolou's face and then kissed Sier, suggesting that he should carry the child up the mountain by himself tomorrow.

Jin Xiaolou thought for a moment and nodded, she really did not know how to face the moment she separated from her child.

He took out the Hundred Forts Rui knot from the ponytail on the road and lightly placed it on Sier's wrist.

The red auspicious knot on the white wrist, like a rising new sun. She only wished for Sier to be like that new day, where she would be able to slowly grow and shine brilliantly even though she couldn't see where she was.

After Gao Lang carried Sier out, Nan Yang came over to call Jin Xiaolou for breakfast.

Jin Xiaolou really had no appetite, but she couldn't stop Nan Yang from replying. She could only agree, and after changing her clothes, she walked out of the room.

The inn was divided into two floors. Above it was the guest room, and below it was the dining hall. Due to their relationship with each other, a large portion of the guests were from the Southern Wasteland.

Just as Jin Xiaolou sat down, she heard a few voices around her that she did not understand.

Nan Yang knew that his wife was depressed. She could not eat, so she ordered some white porridge with vinegar on the tip of the bamboo shoot. She only wanted to warm her stomach and ask for more.

While waiting for the dishes to be served, Jin Xiaolou rested her chin on her hands and looked out the window.

The window was facing Mount Jin. At this time, no one knew what kind of flowers were blooming on Mount Jinjun. The entire mountaintop was dyed pink and was suffused with clouds and rosy clouds. It was truly a beautiful scene to behold.

That old man could not leave the cave, but her Sier could. From now on, Sier would jump and grow up under that tree.

Jin Xiaolou thought, she didn't know what he would do under the tree, but no matter what he did, she always hoped that he would be happy.

While he was opening and closing his eyes, he suddenly heard someone beside him sighing, "The world is going to fall into chaos sooner or later!"

Jin Xiaolou was shocked, although the border lands were high and the emperor was far away, the commoners need not be as cautious as they were in the capital, but to say all these in front of the entire audience, was truly arrogant, if he was not careful, he would be beheaded.

"You can't say such nonsense!" Another person tried to dissuade him.

"What is it? We can only allow her to control the government and act recklessly. We aren't allowed to say anything to her! " The person in front became louder and more indignant, "Everyone says that women only have long hair and short vision, I think that's right! That Empress Dowager Gao doesn't know shit, with one finger pointing at random, she said that increasing taxes means increasing taxes. She really doesn't let us common folk live! "

"Shh! Shh! Shh!"

"Shh, shh!" That person became even more excited, "Teacher said that only women and lowly people are hard to raise! The current court only hears the words of that woman and that brat.

"Ai, Brother Wang, this is because you don't understand. I am not a child!"

Brother Wang frowned as he said, "What do you mean I don't understand? Am I wrong? With the increase in taxes, the citizens will not live a peaceful life. I heard that there are many places that have raised their flags.

A while ago, Jin Xiaolou had also heard from others that not long after the new emperor had ascended the throne, Zhao Yu had promulgated a new rule and increased the tax revenue.

Although this was not appropriate, Jin Xiaolou did not expect the citizens to have such a huge reaction.

The emperor was young, and the empress dowager held court from behind the screen. Her foundation was not stable yet, so if there was a ruckus again, Zhao Yu's throne would not be able to sit still.

Before the brother surnamed Wang could say anything, the owner of the inn rushed over. Afraid of causing trouble, he didn't even take the money for the meal and quickly invited the two out.

After a while, Jin Xiaolou saw the boss wrote a few large words on the walls of the tavern: Eat meat as you please, drink as much as you want, only chat casually, do not talk about national affairs.

Jin Xiaolou pursed her lips and smiled, this boss was rather interesting.

Seeing his wife's gloomy face finally showing a trace of a smile, Nan Yang hurriedly pushed the porridge in front of her.

Along the way, Jin Xiaolou was too worried about her food and sleep, she had simply not been able to eat or sleep well, she had lost a lot of weight and after smelling the fragrance of the congee, she was indeed a little hungry, but when she brought a spoon to her mouth, she felt her stomach bulging, and could not swallow it no matter what.

With great difficulty, he forced himself to eat two mouthfuls before sighing and pushing the bowl away.

That night, when Gao Lang returned, he only felt that his wife had lost a lot of weight.

Jin Xiaolou wanted to stay in the tavern for a few more days.

After Gao Lang replied and heard Nan Yang talk about how the Madam didn't have much to eat for the entire day, he became anxious and went out by herself. Not long later, he returned to his room with an item in his arms.

Jin Xiaolou was sitting by the window, looking at the Jin Jun Mountain under the sunset.

With the faint sweet scent of the flower and fruit mixed within, as soon as it entered his nose, Jin Xiaolou's stomach growled.

Gao Lang walked forward smilingly, peeled off the lotus leaves wrapped around the door and placed a roasted golden roasted chicken in front of Jin Xiaolou.

The roasted chicken was bright in color, and the fragrance wafted into her nose. Seeing that Jin Xiaolou was startled, she tore off a piece of the chicken and placed it next to her lips.

Not to mention the tender meat, the roasted chicken was filled with eight different ingredients, such as venison, mushrooms, sweet fruit, orange flowers, and various spices.

The taste of the ingredients melted into the chicken in the barbecue. It was so fragrant that it was hard to refuse.

Jin Xiaolou opened her mouth, and a piece of meat entered her stomach.

A moment later, the whole chicken disappeared from the table.

"You did this?" Jin Xiaolou burped, seeing Gao Lang nod his head, she unhappily muttered: "Why didn't you say so earlier! If I knew it would be like this, I would have opened a roasted chicken restaurant.

Gao Lang smiled slowly, "My cooking is not limited to only you, my wife. I will leave the entire world for you to enjoy."
