Empress Reincarnation
Climbing Tian Liang Mountain

The physician was so happy to hear that the princess knew the herb grass, "daughter ever seen it? Nice work! Where is the place? Can we get it?"

"I've never seen the real thing, just from the pictures" Liu Li said. He remembered his lecturer had once shown a photo of the grass.

"Ah," the physician was disappointed, "at least we know that the grass exists. Let's look in the mountain notebook, where this plant grows."

"Good." The doctors began to read the stacks of books one by one. After four hours, they finally found him.

"I found it! Mount Tiang Liang, in this book it is recorded that this herbal grass grows on the mountain Tiang Liang. Let's see princess." The doctor handed over the book.

Liu Li read his book, "tian Liang Mountain is rich with medicinal herbs. Around it were snakes and beasts. People who go to the mountain are often exposed to poison. Later there was a young man named Han Zhu who found this herbal grass that could cure various kinds of poison and then save many lives. In memory of this young man, this herbal grass was named Han Zhu grass." Liu Li's face was so pleased, "not to be mistaken anymore, it was Han Zhu's herbal grass. I'm going to Tian Liang Mountain."

"No princess!" forbid healers, "there are many snakes and beasts. The hills are also steep, very difficult to climb. Ordinary people can't even get to the middle of the mountain."

"I can go with someone who can help and protect me. Let's go to the king."

"But, princess ..."

Liu Li and the physician went to the king who was with the prince of Jin and expressed his will.

"Can't!" exclaim the king, "let someone else take it."

"Your honor, time is life. If it is more delayed, then the Ming princess's condition will be even more dangerous," Liu Li explained.

"What the noble says is true. Mount Tiang Liang is very dangerous. Draw the map, I'll bring the grass home in three days" prince Jin said.

"I have to come. The prince did not know the shape of the grass and how to pluck it. If the grassroots are damaged, it will be difficult to find another Han Zhu grass" Liu Li said.

"What the princess said was right," said the healer, "the Tian Liang mountain is indeed dangerous. But with the presence of prince Jin, it was not difficult for the princess to get there. And although there was a picture of Han Zhu grass, but prince Jin did not know how to pluck it. If the root is damaged, it will be difficult to find the second Han Zhu grass."

The king's forehead was wrinkled, "just picking should there be an ordinance?"

"If so, Liu Li will go with me" said the prince.

"Tabib, please take care of princess Ming's safety, please" Liu Li said.

"I'll try my best, princess."

Then the princes Jin and Liu Li boarded the horse carriage towards the Tian Liang mountain.

"Stop," exclaimed Liu Li on the horse carriage.

"We're leaving soon, what else do you want to do?" ask prince.

"I knew. Waita minute. I'll buy something and we'll leave immediately" Liu Li said as he exited the horse-drawn carriage that had stopped.

Prince Jin was left alone in the horse carriage, "this woman is really annoying."

Moments later Liu Li returned dressed as a man. Her hair that was once beautifully stroked, now tied a ponytail like an ancient man, on her back tied a package, "let's go. Is it just the two of us?"

"Wei Hong still has the job I ordered. He'll be right up with the others."

The horse-drawn carriage drove out of town.

"Prince, we'll rest for a while. I'll go feed the horses" said the bodyguard.

Liu Li was bored and got out of the horse carriage. It's night time, "in times like this there are still fireflies?" Firefly blinks decorate the darkness of the night.

"Did the princess never see him?" asked the bodyguard who was feeding the horse, "the current firefly is not so much. In the summer, there will be a lot of money fireflies flickering on the river bank and very beautiful."

"Unfortunately, a beautiful insect like this can only live five days."

"Where did you know that?" asked the prince who was suddenly behind her.

"I've read it," Liu Li replied, "their lives are very short. I don't know what happens after they die. And what happens after the death of man?"

Just like I come from the 21st century. After death, I crossed space and time, turning into someone else.

"Prince, princess .. we can already continue the journey. It looks like we will reach the Tiang Liang mountain in the morning," said the bodyguard.

"Let's go now."

After reaching the foot of Mount Tiang Liang, he,

"you wait here. The palace soldiers will be coming by noon soon. If I haven't been back in two days, bring me this map to find that grass." The prince handed the map scroll to the bodyguards.

"Okay, prince."

"Well prince, I'll be careful."

The prince and Liu Li walked up the Tiang Liang mountain. An hour had passed and Liu Li was already exhausted.

"You why? We'll be walking around for a little while, just taking a break."

You do not carry luggage, it is certainly much easier. If you are capable, why not help me to carry this bag, Liu Li grumbled inwardly.

"Srak sauce." Something makes a noise in the bushes.

"Didn't the prince hear anything strange?" ask Liu Li.

The prince sharpened his hearing, "come here!" The prince pulled Liu Li's hand, then took her hiding behind the trees.

"Why are we squatting here?"

"Guestshh!"

A bunch of dogs came out of the bushes.

Liu Li whispered behind his hiding place, "why is there a mastive tibetan dog here?"

"These dog noses are very sensitive, it seems they already know where we are." The prince held his sword, "if something happens, you don't go out. Stay hidden here."

"I understand," Liu Li replied.

The prince jumped out of hiding. The pack of dogs surrounded the prince from all directions, ready to attack.

"It's good to attack at the same time" said the prince, "so that I don't have to waste time killing you one by one."

"Swoosh swoosh swooosh!" In a few sword slashes, the dogs died helplessly.

"Let's get out of here. These dogs are someone's pet. If the owner finds out, we'll have a problem."

"In this wilderness, why would anyone keep a dog?" ask Liu Li.

The prince withdrew Liu Li's hand, "around here there must be robbers."

"Nh ..."

"Are you hurt?" ask prince.

"It's okay. We can continue our journey."

The prince took the parcel on Liu Li's back, "why did you bring so many things here?"

"The stuff will come in handy later."

They continue their journey.

"You rest here for a while. I will look for fruits to eat" said the prince.

"Wait, here I have food. Drink water first, I've asked the guards, the source of the water on this mountain is not much." Liu Li took out a water bottle from inside his bag. In addition, he also issued medicine for wounds on his painful legs.

The prince took the medicine from Liu Li's hands and then applied it on Liu Li's injured leg, "I don't mean to help you. I'm just worried you won't be able to walk and ask me to carry you."

"Thank you ..."

"I don't want to be burdened by you. Try walking, is it still painful? If not, we'll continue on our way again."

"It's okay," Liu Li had stood up nicely, "let's walk. The sooner we find that grass, the sooner we get back."

"It's good if you know that."

The day has changed night.

"Now it's late, we find a cave to rest first. Tomorrow we continue our journey" said the prince.

"All right."

They found the cave, then made a bonfire to warm the cold air.

"Why do you see me like that?" ask the prince who is sitting by the fireplace.

"Plac!" Liu Li's hand landed on the prince's cheek.
