Chapter 14: The Journey of the Holy Ze

"Where are you going?" Shu Kui was stunned.

"Saint." Ling Jiuchuan looked at her.

Happiness came too suddenly, Shu Kui suddenly became at a loss, staring at Ling Jiuchuan in a daze, his mind was actually blank.

"It was Shi Shennuo who invited you to come with us by name." Ling Jiuchuan continued, "I warn you, when you get there, you are not allowed to run around. ”

"How dare I." Shu Kui came back to his senses and snorted, "With your magical family crest, isn't it in your hands wherever I run?" ”

Ling Jiuchuan smiled: "We are here to run errands, and we don't have so much effort to look at you." However, I believe that after the lessons of the last time, you and Jin Luoluo should have learned well. ”

Shu Kui was silent, but he had begun to secretly calculate.

Ling Jiuchuan had no patience to guess what she was thinking, and after saying these few words, he turned around and left.

Bai Jingzhi then cautiously came over: "Shu Kui, His Majesty's words are true, that passage is in the depths of the forest, and the forest is full of poisonous snakes and beasts, all of which are strange beasts that have existed since ancient times, huge in size, cunning, and IQ comparable to that of a seven or eight-year-old child, it is very dangerous for you to go in alone." ”

Shu Kui looked at him expressionlessly: "Well, I know." ”

As soon as these words came out, although it was clear that Shu Kui didn't take his words to heart at all, Bai Jingzhi didn't want to say anything more.

In the next two days, under the condition of applying green and jade dew on time, as Ling Jiuchuan expected, the bruises on Shu Kui's face improved quickly, and by the morning of the third day, there were only a few shallow traces left.

Yuxiao came to knock on the door before eight o'clock, Shu Kui followed her out of the dormitory building, and saw a carriage pulled by four horses parked in the open space in front of the door.

"Shall we sit here?" Shu Kui, who grew up in the city, has never been in a carriage.

Tamashi said "yes" and walked over to open the car door.

Shu Kui stepped up, and at a glance he saw Jin Luoluo sitting in the corner, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Jin Luoluo smiled at her and patted his side.

Shu Kui sat down and found that the inside of the carriage was very wide, and there were more than four people who could lie side by side.

"How long is it going to take?" She asked Tamashino, who came up last.

"More than two hours." Yuxiao raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "It's about ten o'clock when I get to the border." ”

As he was talking, he heard a soft "pop" outside, and the carriage started and drove steadily towards the outside of the palace.

At first, the horses did not run very fast, and when they got out of the city, on the main road, and after meeting with several other carriages, Shu Kui was surprised to find that the scenery outside the car window was receding faster and faster, until it was almost impossible to see closely.

Along the way, Yuxiao was almost silent, always looking out the window, while Jin Luoluo seemed a little excited, lowered his voice, and talked about his experience of going to Shengzeguo the first two times.

Shu Kui wanted to ask her if she had seen the passage to the world, but because of Yuxiao's presence, the words came to her mouth several times and swallowed again.

After a short time, everyone came to a checkpoint, Yuxiao opened the door and went down, and after the guards inspected the carriage, the carriage started again, this time, the road was narrower, and the speed slowed down, and there were small and medium-sized cities along the way, and occasionally villages and towns scattered on the roadside, no longer like the endless desert and mountains just now.

After another half or so hour, the carriage entered a bustling city, and Kinloro pointed to a tall building in the distance, saying that it was there.

When he came closer, Shu Kui realized that this was a real palace, extending almost as wide as two Haocang Palaces on the left and right, with snow-white walls, golden glazed tile roofs shining in the sun, a red plaque hanging on the main entrance, and the three big black characters of "Taihong Palace" were vigorous and powerful.

Shi Shennuo stood in the square in front of the palace, with more than a dozen people lined up behind him, both men and women, all wearing black Chinese-style stand-up collar suits, their backs straight, and their faces expressionless.

"These are the people of Yuanhuimen." Jin Luoluo leaned into Shu Kui's ear and said, "It's the escort team, the police, and the judge." ”

"Isn't it amazing?" Shu Kui also asked in a low voice.

Jin Luoluo nodded.

The door of the carriage was opened, and Yuxiao went down first, helping the two of them out of the carriage.

"Why is she here too?" Shi Shennuo walked over and saw Jin Luoluo, obviously unhappy.

"I asked her to come along." Ling Jiuchuan got out of the other carriage.

Shi Shennuo glanced at him, didn't say anything more, and turned to Shu Kui: "The medicine I gave you is still quite useful, right?" ”

"Yes, thank you." Shu Kui really didn't expect the effect of Qingtan Yulu to be so good.

Shi Shennuo smiled, turned back to Ling Jiuchuan and said, "This time there are quite a lot. ”

Ling Jiuchuan let out an "um" and swept his gaze over the people of Yuanhuimen.

Shi Shennuo called two palace maids and ordered them to take Shu Kui and Jin Luoluo to their residence, while he led Ling Jiuchuan and Yu Xiao and a group of others to the main gate of the palace.

After walking for a while, Shu Kui saw that there was no one else behind him, so he asked Jin Luoluo quietly, "Do you know where that one is?" ”

"Which one?" Jin Luoluo was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses, "Oh, uh...... To know is to know ......"

"Just show me the way." Shu Kui felt that his requirements were not high.

Jin Luoluo didn't agree or refuse, only pointed forward: "We have arrived"

At this time, not far from Shu Kui's eyes, there is a small building with a reddish-brown wall, and a large forest behind the building, lush and secluded.

"It's a place for the entourage of visitors, and it's very comfortable." Jin Luoluo winked, "It's your first time here, I'll take you around a little inside." ”

Shu Kui understood and stopped making a sound.

The two palace maids who led the way opened the door of the small building and left, Jin Luoluo pulled Shu Kui, walked the whole building up and down, looked at every room, and finally, sat on the sofa in the living room and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's not far away." "It's in the woods behind here," she said. ”

"Is it heavily guarded?" Shu Kui asked.

Jin Luoluo shook his head: "No one is guarding." ”

"Unguarded?" Shu Kui was a little surprised.

"No guards are needed." Jin Luoluo explained, "We can't get along with the people of Youlan, the people of Shengze can move freely without restrictions, besides, there are fierce beasts in the forest, and no one will walk back and forth without restriction." ”

"Is the forest big?" Shu Kui asked again.

"It's fine." Jin Luoluo replied vaguely, as if thoughtful.

"In which direction?" Shu Kui really can't wait to find that passage immediately, "I'll leave now." ”

"Nope." Jin Luoluo vetoed, "I'm going to have dinner with the two Majesties later." ”

"Then I'll leave tonight." Shu Kui has made up his mind.

"No, it's too dangerous in the woods at night, and besides, Your Majesty can notice your movements right away." Jin Luoluo said his thoughts, "It's better to wait until tomorrow morning, when the handover ceremony is over, Your Majesty has no time to take care of it, and it is safer in the woods." ”

Shu Kui didn't expect her to think about it so much for herself, and she couldn't help but feel grateful in her heart.

"I'll take you inβ€”I've heard Uncle mention it before, saying that if a pure human is in the woods, even if he doesn't know the way, he can know the approximate location of the passage by feeling." Jin Luoluo continued.

"But...... But there were wild beasts in the woods. Shu Kui really didn't want Jin Luoluo to risk for her.

"Don't be afraid, I'll help you run away." Jin Luoluo pursed his lips and smiled.

"It's not a hangout." Shu Kui thought she was joking.

Jin Luoluo also smiled: "I know." So once you enter the forest, you have to concentrate, and the sooner you find the passage, the less danger we will be and the less likely it will be discovered by Your Majesty. I can fend off the beast, but only for a while, and after a long time, no one can say what will happen. ”

"Okay." Shu Kui nodded vigorously, "Thank you, I will never forget you." ”

Jin Luoluo patted the back of her hand: "My hometown is a small border town, when I was a teenager, my family suddenly changed, my parents died, and my uncle took me to Yecheng, where he worked. At first, I lived in my uncle's house, and I lived with my second uncle's family, but my second aunt couldn't tolerate me, so she asked my uncle to help me find another place to live. To others, I may be the future queen, but only I know that in the palace, I am a temporary outsider, living under the fence. ”

Speaking of this, Jin Luoluo's eyes welled up with tears.

Shu Kui saw that she was pitiful, and didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only learn to look like her, and also patted the back of her hand.

"Every time I see you, I can't help but imagine what your parents look like, imagine how anxious they will be if they can't find your two sisters, I just want to use my modest efforts to make the world have one less family that has been torn apart." Jin Luoluo rubbed his eyes and said sincerely.

Shu Kui was so moved that he couldn't wait to hug her and cry.

Jin Luoluo laughed: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about it, don't let Your Majesty see the flaw later." ”

Shu Kui nodded hurriedly and laughed as well.

Subsequently, the two of them sorted out their belongings, and occasionally chatted a few words about the customs of the Holy Ze Kingdom, but they were also very leisurely.

This night, Shu Kui originally thought that she would not be able to sleep, but Xiaolou's bed was extremely comfortable, coupled with the fatigue of the journey, she didn't know anything after lying down for a long time.

When he woke up the next day, the sun had risen high, and there was no clock in the room, Shu Kui was afraid of missing the time, so he hurriedly washed and changed his clothes, and when he arrived in the living room downstairs, he saw Jin Luoluo sitting on the sofa and drinking tea.

"Early." She pointed to the plates and bowls on the coffee table, "They were all just delivered." ”

"Let's go." Shu Kui didn't have the heart to eat breakfast.

Jin Luoluo put down the teaglass, stood up, opened the gate and looked out, and after making sure that there was no one, he pulled Shu Kui to trot all the way, and soon came to the woods.

"This is a boundary marker." She pointed to a low wordless stone tablet beside her, "As soon as you step over, you have to concentrate, and where we are going depends on your feelings." ”

Shu Kui responded, took a deep breath, and took a step forward.
