Chapter 916: Let's find out
Ximen Yuqing hooked his lips and smiled, nodded obediently, and didn't say anything. But the tenderness and pity in his eyes made Lin Wan even more uneasy, so he stomped his feet angrily, and instructed Jin Haoran: "Brother Jin, you are responsible for helping me watch him and protect his safety." ”
Jin Haoran naturally knew who "he" Lin Wan was talking about, glanced at Ximen Yuqing, nodded solemnly, and said, "Princess Wanxin, don't worry, this prince will definitely protect your flower messenger and never let him do anything stupid." ”
Jin Ruoxin pulled Jin Haoran, glared at him, and said, "Haoran, now is not the time to joke, you all have to come back safely." Remember, Big Brother Bei and I are still waiting for you here. ”
Jin Haoran sighed exaggeratedly and said, "We are going to hunt on the cliff mountain, and by the way, we are helping General Lin hunt for treasures, why are you talking as if we are going to die?"
Jin Ruoxin glared at Jin Haoran angrily, knowing that he deliberately said this to reassure himself, and he didn't blame him anymore.
Lin Wan glanced at Jin Haoran, turned to Jin Ruoxin and Bei Xiaonan, and said with a smile: "Sister Qinxin and Brother Bei, don't worry, there are so many of us, the lions and tigers have to take a detour when they see it, and wait for our good news." After speaking, he took the red sail in Qingtong's hand, turned over on the horse, lifted the reins, and said, "Let's go, let's go to the cliff mountain to find out!" After speaking, he turned the horse's head proudly and ran towards the entrance of the cliff mountain.
Ximen Yuqing immediately got on the horse and followed behind Lin Wan, followed by Jin Haoran, Kapok Zi and Qingtong.
Ning Wuwu and Lin Ruichen exchanged a look, without any conversation, but at the same time got on the horse and ran towards the cliff mountain.
Jin Ruoxin and Bei Xiao Nan stood in place, watching their departing backs for a long time, until they entered the woods, and then walked back worriedly.
At the entrance of the cliff mountain, Changfeng, Gale Wind, and Jiang Hai had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw Lin Wan and others coming, they immediately drove forward and followed everyone into the woods, and the group quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
When Lan Ziyue saw Lin Wan and them enter the woods, she couldn't help but have a hideous smile on her face, turned her horse's head, and said, "Brother Huang, Tianhong, let's go too." ”
Lan Ziheng and Zhou Tianhong nodded, and slowly walked towards the cliff mountain.
Lin Wan ran off the high platform just now, and Zhou Changan was going to stop it. However, before he could speak, he heard Lan Ziheng suddenly praise: "Princess Wanxin is so courageous, she really deserves to be the princess of the emperor's own title!"
So, Zhou Changan changed his mind when he said this, nodded, and said with a smile: "Since it is a hunting ceremony, it is not a good thing to let these children go through the experience." ”
Ximen Yuqing didn't say a word, stood up, arched his hand to Zhou Changan, and said, "Uncle Zhou, my little nephew will follow and take a look." After speaking, he didn't wait for Zhou Changan to answer, and followed Lin Wan off the high platform.
Then, Jin Ruoxin, Bei Xiaonan, and Ning Wuwu also took the opportunity to retire to Zhou Chang'an and left with Ximen Yuqing.
When they were all gone, Lan Ziheng smiled faintly, and also got up and asked Zhou Changan for instructions: "Uncle Zhou, since everyone is so interested in the scenery of Cliff Mountain, the little nephew is also out of company, so go into the mountain with the imperial sister to have a look." ”
Before the words fell, Zhou Tianhong also got up and echoed, and said, "Father, the son is not worried about Ziyue, so go and take a look." Please rest assured that the sons will do their best to protect the safety of Prince Lan and Ziyue. ”
Zhou Changan couldn't dissuade him anymore, nodded his head, and said, "Take a few more people with you, there are fierce beasts on the top of Cliff Mountain, and no one has been there for many years, so it's better to be careful." ”
Zhou Tianhong immediately received the order, personally ordered a few guards with strong martial arts, and went to Cliff Mountain with Lan Ziheng, Lan Ziyue and Lan Ziling.
In order to avoid suspicion, Zhou Tianhong, Lan Ziheng, Lan Ziyue, Lan Ziling and others did not follow too closely, and they did not leave until Lin Wan, Lin Ruichen, Ximen Yuqing, Jin Haoran and others entered the woods.
After entering the woods, Zhou Tianhong and the others kept following Lin Wan's horseshoe footprints and walked to the top of Cliff Mountain.
However, halfway up the mountain, the hoof prints of the twenty or so horses that had been gathered together suddenly separated, and the soldiers went up the mountain in three ways: left, center, and right.
Zhou Tianhong couldn't help frowning, thinking secretly, he had read the test papers in the hands of Liu Shikui and Lin Ruichen, although he didn't know which one Lin Ruichen had in his hand, but the target was on the top of Cliff Mountain.
Even if Lin Wan and the others advanced in three ways, they still had to converge at the top of the mountain in the end. If you want to find Lin Wan and Lin Ruichen, you only need to follow the middle road to the top of the mountain, and you will definitely see them again. However, why did they divide their troops into three routes? Which path did Lin Wan take?
Zhou Tianhong was thinking about it, Lan Ziling pointed to a horseshoe print on the left, and said in a low voice: "Your Royal Highness, this horseshoe print was left by Princess Wanxin's mount. Princess Wanxin's horse is different from other people's horses, and the imprints left are shallower, although it is not easy to find, but you can still distinguish it if you look closely. ”
Lan Ziyue turned over and dismounted, and also came over, following Lan Ziling's guidance, carefully checking the marks on the ground. Sure enough, he found a line of imprints that were slightly shallower than the other horseshoe prints, and couldn't help but nod happily and said, "Lin Wan'er must have gone to the left, Brother Huang, Tianhong, let's go to the left too." ”
Zhou Tianhong hesitated a little, but Lan Ziheng had already made a decision, and said in a deep voice: "We are also divided into two roads, you follow the imprint on the left to chase Lin Wan'er, I will lead people to go from the middle road, and we will meet in Qingyangling." ”
Lan Ziyue thought for a while, frowned and nodded: "Brother Huang is right, Lin Ruichen should follow the route on the map, take the middle road to get what the emperor wants, and he must not be allowed to get it." Let's go find that slut Lin Wan'er, this time I must let her fall into my hands!"
Lan Ziling glanced at Lan Ziyue deeply, there was a trace of hesitation in her eyes, but she didn't say anything, and followed Zhou Tianhong and Lan Ziyue to the left.
The woods were so dense that the light could barely shine through, and the guards held torches in their hands to illuminate the road ahead. And there was no road on the earth, nothing but the horseshoe prints.
Zhou Tianhong, Lan Ziyue, Lan Ziling and a few guards walked cautiously towards the depths of the woods. However, the further they went, the more confused they became, and they felt as if they had walked into a great labyrinth, with no end in sight, and the sights around them were always the same, and they could not tell whether they were moving forward or spinning in place.
It wasn't until Zhou Tianhong found that the horseshoe prints on the ground had changed from a few before to dozens, and finally confirmed that the dozens of extra horseshoe prints on the ground were their own, and they really walked back again, and more than once.
