Hundreds of miles of plank roads
After a long time, Wen Xi hugged his arms and knees, and said softly: "I'm not afraid of ghosts, I'm not afraid of living people, what are ghosts to be afraid of, I just ...... Have you ever had any terrible dreams?"
"Dream?" King Chen really thought about it seriously before he said, "I've done it." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
Wen Xi said, "A long time ago, I came here and ...... Master And Du Yu together, at that time, we were also sleeping by the lake, I had a dream, it was terrible, it was all dead and blood, and there was an endless fire, I didn't know where it was, and finally I only remembered that I kept crying in the dream, and finally I really woke up crying, and the master complained to Du Yu, saying that he wanted to see if there was really a ghost who had to live by the lake, which scared me. β
"I don't know if there are ghosts in the water, it's just a dream here, I'm afraid to dream again, I in the dream, weak, powerless, can't do anything, can only watch those tragic things happen, can only shout, can only cry heartbreaking......" Wen Xi turned his face, turned his back to King Chen and pillowed his arm on his head, looking sad and frowning.
Chen Wang did not speak.
Wen Xi suddenly raised her head again, and looked at King Chen in a daze, a glimmer of the setting sun shining on her face through the leaves and branches, her eyes were slightly red, and her hair was on the corners of her lips, full of confusion.
Chen Wang couldn't help but raise his hand and pull the broken hair behind her ears for her, her face was a little cold by the evening breeze, I don't know if it was because of sweat or tears, her hair was also a little wet, and her lips were red from biting by herself...... Chen Wang looked at her, and she looked at him too, her brows still furrowed, and her eyes blinked.
"Why am I telling you this, who knows if you're going to use this to tease me another day, huh!" Wincy jumped to his feet, patted the mud on his buttocks, and ran away in three steps and two steps.
King Chen smiled bitterly, he looked down at the hand that touched Wen Xi's face just now, and there was still some wetness in his fingertips.
After a while, Gongyi came over, arched his hand with King Chen, and said, "Your Highness, a messenger has just arrived in Nan'anzhou." King Chen glanced behind him, there was a boy of thirteen or fourteen who was sitting on the ground panting and drinking water, and the coachman took his horse to drink.
King Chen looked at Gongyi inquiringly.
Gong Yi said: "The collapse of the bronze mouth a few days ago, Gong should have been a grievance between the rivers and lakes, and he solved it by himself." It's just that Tong Er and they met with Jin Wanyuan, the owner of White Eagle Fort, the second day after we left, Jin Wanyuan said that a few days ago, the governor He Min ordered him to do two things, one is that as long as the foreigners come to his shop, he must come and go in detail, and the other is that all roads in and out of Nan'an Zhou must be watched carefully, he thinks that the bronze mouth is dangerous and troublesome, so he sent someone to collapse the bronze mouth, but he might as well meet us. β
King Chen groaned, then looked at Gong Yi and said with a smile: "This matter should be confidential, Jin Yuan would be so heartfelt and heartfelt with Gong Darthead." β
Gong Yi smiled and said: "Jianghu people have their own Jianghu methods, this matter is related to the government, Gong is worried that it is the embroidery envoy instigated, so he reported to His Highness." β
King Chen got up, looked at the gradually darkening lake, and said, "Nan'anzhou is not a big city, the dart team is eye-catching, we are just afraid that we have been targeted." β
Gongyi frowned and said, "Do you want to take His Highness and Miss Wen to leave the ancient road in advance tomorrow?"
King Chen shook his head: "No need, it's good to say at the moment, I shouldn't have really been suspicious, otherwise the rope bridge of the Feilongjian has already been broken, so let's act as usual first." β
Respectfully departed.
Chen Wang's face gradually lost his smile, and he seemed to be as cold as the snow on the top of the highest mountain in Mengshan Mountain, "It's really a coincidence......"

At night, Wen Xi kept a bonfire and roasted a ball of meat with a branch, and the meat was roasted from the blood to a piece of charcoal, and Wen Xi smelled the strong smell of burning before quickly removing it.
The meat was inedible, so Wen Xi took a bite of dry food and threw the charred meat back into the fire with a look of regret.
There were people on all sides to keep vigil, and the rest of the people surrounded the dart carts and slept on the floors in scattered places. Wen Xi sat farther away, clutching a thin cloak in a daze.
King Chen leaned on the wheel, looked up at the sky, there were no clouds tonight, there was a moon, and there was starlight in the sky. Ten paces away, Wen Xi was wistfully pulling in the fire with a twig, and he could almost guess all of her thoughts at the moment, simply barely turning any way, like a clear spring that could be seen through.
Has he ever been so naΓ―ve as a teenager?
King Chen smiled bitterly, then closed his eyes and recuperated, the road ahead was difficult and dangerous, and everything had just begun.
Wency hadn't slept all night, and she was afraid that if she closed her eyes, the nightmare that had been buried in her heart for years would appear again. Those who practice martial arts occasionally stay up late is nothing, and on the second day, Wen Xi's face was only a little blue, and she stepped on her horse and put on her hat.
All the way is a mountain road, sometimes up and down, or wading water across the bridge. There are not many pedestrians on this road, and the people who meet the lone ones are also woodcutters, fishermen, merchants, scholars, etc., they see this dart team, but they are strange, and they stop for a long time before leaving.
On Tengyun Ridge, but it is a long plank road, half of the stone wall in the mountain is carved, half of the plank road is laid with wooden planks, it is really difficult, Wen Xi simply got off the horse and walked away.
Mengshan is undulating, or there are towering dangerous peaks, or there are deep streams that twist and turn, a mountain passes, and a mountain, crossing the stream, and the deep river, to the fourth day, Wen Xi looked at the mark of the 200-mile long plank road chiseled on the mountain wall, sighed long, and said with Gongyi: "We have walked 200 miles, and we are already exhausted, how did those who opened the road dig this road back then?"
Gongyi smiled: "Miss Wen, this is only half gone." β
Wen Xi said with a bitter face: "I know ......" and said: "Why did the emperor work so hard to attack Yanliang back then, the road is so difficult to walk, and the grain and grass are not easy to transport............ As she spoke, she suddenly lost her words, the emperor she complained about was not the ancestor of King Chen and their surname Luo?
Wen Xi's eyes rolled wildly, he looked left and right, and whistled, but it was too ridiculous, and half of it couldn't be blown out.
Chen Wang really couldn't annoy her, but said lightly: "Yanliang has gold and copper mines. β
Wency was dumbfounded, "Huh?
King Chen sneered, "What else can you think?"
Wen Xi wanted to say, shouldn't he say something about Emperor Yan's absurdity and unscrupulousness, and the bullshit excuse of being ordered by heaven to cut him down, but he was very straightforward.
Wency scratched his head and stopped talking.
"Ahh
Wen Xi's heart moved, thinking of King Chen and Leng Shuzhu using crows to send messages, and looked at King Chen in the twilight.
King Chen's face did not change, he did not move, pulled the reins, and slowly walked forward.
Wency shut up and pulled his horse to follow the group.
