Chapter 125: Carrying the Weight Onward
The dense woods that cover the clear sky look like a sea of trees from afar. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
And at one end of the sea of trees, a little child stood fixed on a thick branch, his eyes staring in a certain direction without blinking, with a maturity and stability on his face that did not correspond to his immature age.
The young man behind him stood silently. For a moment, he suddenly felt that he clearly saw the figure of the master from this little child.
"Young Master Xuan. Seventeen hesitated, he didn't know what was going on in the child's mind at this time, maybe he was worried about the days to come.
After all, the master's order is only to let himself act at a critical moment of survival. Not to mention that for a child who is only five or six years old, even an adult, it is almost impossible for an adult to survive alone for three months in this mysterious and dangerous forest of death.
Master, this is completely demanding this child with a standard that is even harsher than the best killer in the cabinet. Will he really be able to get it done?
"Young Master Xuan, don't worry, the master has ordered seventeen, and he will definitely guarantee your safety. ā
"In the past few days, you and Brother Autumn have already told me what you need to know to survive in the Death Forest, so I already have a great advantage over others. At this time, Nangong Sixuan's tone was more calm and serious than before.
Just when Seventeen was silent and didn't know how to speak, the little child's smile appeared on his face again. Look in a certain direction through the dense sea of trees.
"There is no quiet time in this world, but someone carries the weight for you!"
Looking back at the young man behind him, his brilliant smile was as dazzling and beautiful as the sunlight missing from the branches of a stumbling tree.
"So, Brother Seventeen, I'm going to start working hard next!"
"Yes!" Suppressing the shock in his heart, the young man bowed and half-knelt, his back stretched for a long time in the mottled broken light.
At Lin Hai's end, two figures who were shrouded in black robes and could not see their figures were sitting upright on horses, and they could faintly see that their eyes under the wide black brim were firmly looking in the direction of the Death Forest not far away, as if they were waiting for something.
I don't know how long later, with the sound of horses' hooves, a horse flew out of the dense forest, and a young man rode on the horse's back.
After a few breaths, the young man had already driven his horse to the black-robed man, followed by a neighing of the horse's hoof.
Seeing this, the black-robed man dismounted and bowed down.
"Meet the master!" The hoodie stepped back, revealing two youthful smiling faces, which were Xia Lan and Xia Zhu.
"Get up, is the journey going well?" Nangong Yun smiled slightly, she was more comfortable in men's clothes than in the capital.
"Back to the master, except for the team that met Lan Zhao on the way here, there are no other special circumstances. The two got up, and Xia Zhu reported first. The two of them are still more accustomed to calling Nangong Yun the master rather than the young lady.
As one of the four protectors of Yunshui Pavilion, once Nangong Yun does not appear in front of everyone as Miss Nangong Mansion, Xia Zhu will return to the pavilion to assist Leng Sha and Jue. In addition, in these days, Autumn has been by Nangong Sixuan's side, and she was sent to Lan Zhao by Nangong Yun again, so only Leng Sha was left to preside over the overall situation in the cabinet, so she would perform some tasks for the cabinet whenever she had time.
So this time, she also met Xia Lan who hurried from Xiaoyaoju when she was about to reach the Forest of Death, so Xia Zhu was almost bored to death along the way, and the result of no one accompanying her was that she held back her stomach and no one said.
Xia Lan naturally understood the character of this sister who had grown up since she was a child, and she smiled and did not stop her. But only in the face of them, Zhu'er and Autumn will talk so much.
"In this way, Lan Zhao's envoy should have arrived in the capital by now. Nangong Yun raised the corners of his eyebrows, and his mouth hooked up a good-looking arc. Then, their emperor should already know Lan Zhao's intentions, but I don't know which unlucky person Situ Zhe pushed out.
As if he had suddenly thought of something, Nangong Yun's eyebrows were gentle, and his gaze looked in a certain direction.
"Is there any news from Motu in the near future?"
"Back to the master, Xi sent a message, everything is fine with Motu, Emperor Qingyue also ascended the throne a few days ago, and there were some small twists and turns that day, but they were all cleaned up under the thunderous means of the regent and the empress, and there was no big problem. Xia Zhu replied quickly, speaking of the empress, she was a little admired, although the empress had the help of the master behind her accession to the throne, but she was also a woman who could not be underestimated if she could successfully sit in this position.
Is that right? Nangong Yun smiled slightly, since this is the case, you can rest assured.
"What did Sheng say over there?" Nangong Yun asked casually, but this time her eyes looked at Xia Lan, she believed that Xia Lan could understand what she was asking.
"Princess Qingya!" Xia Lan replied lightly, her voice soft, just like her own character, as pure and elegant as a gardenia.
"Situ Danya!" Nangong Yunmian was not surprised, this kind of willful princess really didn't have much use value, and it was no wonder that she was ruthlessly abandoned by Situ Zhe.
Now that they've all arrived, the good show in the capital is about to begin, and it's time to go back. Looking back at the woods behind him, a touch of tenderness appeared in Nangong Yun's eyes.
"Master, do you really feel at ease to put the little young master here alone?" Xia Zhu followed his master's gaze and couldn't help but ask.
"Isn't there still autumn? I'll let him protect him in secret, and there won't be any problems!" Nangong Yun's tone was obviously a little low, not knowing whether to answer Xia Zhu or comfort himself.
For a while, the atmosphere was a little low.
Xia Zhu Xia Lan glanced at each other, and the latter hurriedly spoke.
"What the master said is, not to mention that the headquarters of our Yunshui Pavilion is in the Death Forest, how can Young Master Xuan be in danger. ā
Nangong Yun's eyes drooped, and she collected the emotions in her heart, now is not the time for children to grow up, she has to continue to work hard, then Xuan'er, you should also come on!
"Go back to Beijing!" Spurred the horse, and Nangong Yun's firm voice sprinkled in the afternoon sun.
At this time, in the back garden of Lingyun Palace, the flowers are splendid, the autumn is high and refreshing, the boxy palace wall stands majestically, and the lifelike stone statues of birds and beasts hang from the eaves, highlighting the highest power position of Lingyun Kingdom, and also isolating the freedom of many people in their lives.
In the imperial study, Chu Hengjue sat on the dragon chair without smiling, opened a book on the table casually, and threw it back after a few hasty glances, without the slightest joy or anger between his eyebrows, but the atmosphere in the imperial study was extremely low.
