The princess arrives and the prosperous Tang Dynasty begins

Chapter 256 New clues

In that quiet and mysterious land, the sun shines gently on every inch of land, as if covering everything in the world with a layer of golden gauze. The princess is still moving forward on the road of pursuing treasures, without any slackness.

On this day, the princess walked into a bustling village. In the village, smoke rose from cooking fires, children played and laughed in the streets, and adults were busy with their own livelihoods. The princess's noble and friendly temperament quickly attracted the attention of the villagers. They gathered around her, their eyes full of curiosity and respect.

The princess smiled and talked to the villagers. Her voice was as gentle and pleasant as a clear mountain stream. The villagers were moved by the princess' sincerity and gradually let go of their restraint and began to speak freely. During this cordial exchange, the princess unexpectedly got a crucial new clue about the treasure.

It is said that there is an ancient city in a distant place, hidden between the mountains. After years of baptism, it still exudes a mysterious atmosphere. In that ancient city, there lives a learned and wise man. This wise man knows many secrets of the world, and perhaps he also has an unknown understanding of the treasure that the princess has been pursuing.

This news was like a ray of hope, instantly illuminating the corner of the princess' heart that had been darkened by her long search. Without the slightest hesitation, the princess decided to immediately set off for the mysterious ancient city to find the wise man who might know the secret of the treasure.

When the princess expressed her determination, the villagers expressed their concern and blessings. A white-haired old man came forward, his eyes full of admiration and concern for the princess, and said slowly: "Your Highness, the journey is long and full of unknown difficulties and obstacles. You must be careful." The princess nodded gently and said gratefully: "Thank you for your concern. In order to find the treasure, I am not afraid of any difficulties."

A young woman squeezed out of the crowd, holding a basket of fresh fruits in her hand. She handed it to the princess and said, "Your Highness, this is a little gift from our village. We hope it can add some strength to your journey." The princess took the fruit with tears of emotion in her eyes: "Thank you, I will move forward bravely with your blessings."

There was also a lovely little girl who ran over and hugged the princess' legs. She looked up and said innocently, "Sister Princess, you will definitely succeed. When you find the treasure, please come back to see us." The princess squatted down, gently stroked the little girl's hair, and promised with a smile, "I will, my little darling."

With the villagers' blessings, the princess embarked on a new journey. Her figure gradually walked away in the golden sunshine, carrying the villagers' expectations and full blessings, and once again embarked on a challenging journey.

The princess walked alone on the winding mountain road. The gravel road under her feet was rugged and uneven. The trees on both sides were lush and green, as if forming a natural barrier. The breeze blew, and the leaves rustled, as if playing a brave song for the princess.

As the journey progressed, the weather gradually became worse. The originally clear sky was covered by dark clouds, and soon, big raindrops began to pour down. The princess had to speed up her pace and look for a place to shelter from the rain. Fortunately, she found a cave not far away.

The princess walked into the cave and shook off the rain. The cave was dark and damp, with a smell of soil. She found a dry place to sit down and take a rest. At this time, the princess had no complaints in her heart. She knew that all these difficulties were the only way to the treasure.

The rain kept falling, as if there was no end. The princess fell into deep thought in the cave. She recalled the expectant faces of the villagers, and a strong sense of responsibility surged in her heart. She knew that she was shouldering not only a personal mission, but also the hope of the entire country and the people.

After an unknown amount of time, the rain finally stopped. The princess walked out of the cave and continued on her way. The air after the rain was especially fresh, and the birds were singing happily on the branches, as if to cheer the princess on.

After several days of trekking, the princess finally walked out of the mountains and came to a vast plain. The plain was covered with green grass, wild flowers everywhere, and a clear river meandered through it. The princess walked along the river, admiring the beautiful scenery, and her mood became happy.

However, the peaceful time was always short-lived. While crossing the plain, the princess encountered a group of robbers. They were all ferocious and armed, and blocked the princess's way.

"Stop! Hand over all the valuables on you!" the bandit leader shouted.

The princess was not afraid of danger. She stood up straight and said with a firm look: "I don't have what you want. I am just a traveler."

The robbers were not willing to believe her and they approached the princess step by step. At this critical moment, the princess suddenly drew the sword from her waist and took a fighting stance.

The robbers were a little timid when they saw the princess was so brave. But under the urging of the robber leader, they rushed forward. The princess was agile and fought fiercely with the robbers.

After a hard fight, the princess finally defeated the robbers. Her clothes were a little messy and she had a few scratches on her body, but her eyes were still as firm as before. The princess tidied her clothes and continued her journey.

After several days of traveling, the princess finally arrived at the legendary ancient city. The walls of the ancient city were tall and thick, and the gates were tightly closed, giving people a solemn and dignified feeling.

The princess walked forward and knocked gently on the city gate. After a while, the city gate slowly opened and a guard came out.

"What are you doing here?" the guard asked.

The princess explained her purpose and asked to see the learned wise man. The guard looked the princess up and down and said, "Wait here for a moment. I will go and inform you."

The princess waited anxiously at the city gate. Finally, the guard came back and took the princess into the ancient city.

The streets in the ancient city were narrow and winding, and the buildings on both sides were old and dilapidated. The princess followed the guards and came to a mansion in the center of the city.

"The wise man is inside, please go in on your own," said the guard.

The princess took a deep breath and slowly walked into the mansion. In the study of the mansion, she finally met the legendary wise man. The wise man had white hair, deep eyes, and exuded an extraordinary temperament.

The princess bowed respectfully to the wise man and explained her purpose. The wise man smiled slightly, nodded, and then began to tell the secret of the treasure...
