Love of Nirvana 流水迢迢 Episode 2

After Cui Liang's tireless treatment for several days, coupled with the miraculous effect of the Millennium Snow Toad Pill, Jiang Ci finally turned the corner, and Pei Yan asked Cui Liang to go home and rest.

Jiang Ci is a native of Jiangjia Village, Ming'an, Da Ming Kingdom. She and her master Yan Qiaoshuang are dependent on each other. Yan Qiaoshuang once traveled to the moonset and drank a bowl of porridge that is not bitter that she will never forget. Jiang Ci searched for the flowers and plants on the mountain and all kinds of porridge. He kept growing ingredients but could never make the same taste as before. Ten days ago, Yan Qiaoshuang returned from traveling. Jiang Ci brought out the carefully cooked porridge that was not bitter. Yan Qiaoshuang felt that the taste was not right. Jiang Ci swore that Yan Qiaoshuang’s birthday was this year. Sometimes let her drink the porridge that she never forgets.

Yan Qiaoshuang suddenly heard some noise outside, so she sent Jiang Ci away with an excuse. When Jiang Ci came back, Yan Qiaoshuang had already fallen asleep. Jiang Ci wanted to see all the beautiful scenery in the world and eat all the delicacies in the world, but Yan Qiaoshuang couldn't help but Don't worry, she hasn't been able to fulfill her wish. Seeing that Yan Qiaoshuang was already asleep, Jiang Ci couldn't wait to go down the mountain to see the grand peace talks between Da Ming Kingdom and Wei Kingdom. She also wanted to pick coffin flowers before coming back.

Jiang Ci came to Fanglin Garden and saw that it was heavily guarded. She saw a river passing through Fanglin Garden and came up with an idea to hide her luggage under a big tree. She accidentally saw Yan Qiaoshuang leaving her luggage behind. After receiving a letter from her, I realized that Yan Qiaoshuang had already guessed that she would sneak down the mountain and gave her numerous instructions in the letter. Jiang Ci hid Yan Qiaoshuang's letter, jumped into the river, and sneaked into Fanglin Garden.

Jiang Ci woke up in a daze, remembering the whole process of being assassinated by the Silver-faced Man, she was scared to death. Pei Yan was always by her side, feeding her medicine with his own hands. Jiang Ci remembered Yan Qiaoshuang's reminder in the letter that she didn't dare to drink it. Pei Yan took a sip before Jiang Ci dared to drink it. She learned this from the maid Shu Xia. It was Qianxue Chanwan who was saved by Pei Yan on the battlefield, and he was deeply grateful to Pei Yan. Pei Yan asked Jiang Ci about the appearance of the assassin. Jiang Ci was worried about being silenced by the silver-faced man. She didn't know anything about it. Pei Yan saw that she was worried and couldn't ask more questions, so he sent someone to ask Cui Liang to review Jiang Ci. Shuxia took good care of Jiang Ci, and Cui Liang prescribed several tonics for Jiang Ci to nourish her body.

As the days passed, Jiang Ci gradually recovered. She had good food and clothing every day, and lived a comfortable and happy life. Wei Zhao sent someone to find out that Pei Yan had revived Jiang Ci. He was worried that Jiang Ci would turn him in, so he did not dare to take it lightly. The sixth man from the Shadow Pavilion smuggled the bodies of his dead brothers back from the slave camp and wanted to send them back to Yueluo for burial. , Wei Zhao was worried about involving team members who had been lurking for many years. His long-planned plan failed again and asked Lao Liu to burn the bodies of his brothers.

Wei Zhao secretly climbed up the big tree outside Pei Yanhou's mansion and paid close attention to Jiang Ci's every move. Jiang Ci wanted to escape and was worried that the silver-faced man would seek revenge on her, so he asked Shuxia to accompany her to fly the kite. Ci deliberately broke the thread, ignored Shuxia's dissuasion and climbed the ladder to the roof to get the kite. She found that the Hou Mansion was heavily guarded and could not escape, so she decided to think of other ways.

Jiang Ci suddenly saw Wei Zhao hiding in a tree. She was so frightened that she lost her footing and fell from the ladder. Thanks to Pei Yan, she hugged Jiang Ci tightly. Pei Yan wanted to punish Shu Xia for not doing things well, but Jiang Ci was forced to do something wrong for Shu Xia. Xia begged for mercy, but Pei Yan was willing to give up. Jiang Ci accidentally said that the silver-faced man was hiding in a tree. Pei Yan asked her about the man's physical characteristics in detail. Jiang Ci made a few random remarks. She asked Pei Yan to resign. Yan tried hard to find excuses to stay, but Jiang Ci guessed his intention. As long as the assassin, the Silver-faced Man, was not found, Pei Yan would not let her go.

Pei Yan agreed to go out with Jiang Ci to relax, but Jiang Ci declined politely and wanted Cui Liang to accompany her. Pei Yan agreed wholeheartedly and sent someone to book a private room in Lanyue Building to treat Jiang Ci to dinner, hoping to lure the Silver-faced Man assassin into taking the bait again. Pei Yan went to the post house to visit Teng Rui. Teng Rui couldn't wait to go to Yugong Temple to get the "Map of Kun in the World". Wei Zhao sent Lao He to squat outside the post house where the Weiguo envoys were staying. Lao He reported Teng Rui's whereabouts to Wei Zhao. , Wei Zhao guessed Pei Yan’s intention of inviting Jiang Ci.

Pei Yan invited Jiang Ci and Cui Liang to Lanyue Tower for dinner. Jiang Ci heard that there was a pond in Lanyue Tower and made up his mind to escape from the water. Pei Yan and three other people came to Lanyue Tower. Two guests spoke rudely to the girl Su Yan who was playing music. Jiang Ci gave them a severe lesson. Su Yan took out a personal jade pendant and gave it to Jiang Ci to express her gratitude. Jiang Ci flatly refused. Prince Xie Zhi came after hearing the news. He was full of praise for Su Yan's newly composed music.

Jiang Ci drank happily and used the wine to talk about the techniques of eating crabs. She spoke so vividly that Xie Chi was amused and laughed. That night, Prince Zhuang accompanied Teng Rui to the Yu Gong Temple, and Teng Rui pretended to worship Yu Gong. Jiang Ci pretended to be drunk, and Su Yan sent someone to her room to rest. Jiang Ci jumped into the river from the window and escaped. Before leaving, she wrote the word "Farewell" on the wall. Pei Yan was worried and sent someone to find Jiang Ci. Ci’s whereabouts.

Jiang Ci did not jump into the river at all. She pretended to be drunk, threw a large vase into the river, and then hid under the bed. After everyone left, she sneaked away again. Jiang Ci saw a kite falling in the bushes during the day. She suspected that the silver-faced man was nearby, and as Jiang Ci expected, the silver-faced man Wei Zhao suddenly came to her to question him, and Jiang Ci was frightened out of his mind.
