Chapter 17: The Black Forest

All the way to the south, there was no encounter with the jackals, tigers and leopards that Shen Yue said, and the carriage passed through the five towns smoothly. They are in a hurry during the day, and if they rush to a place where there are people at night, they can only set up tents, only two tents, one is Shen Yue's, and the other is Black Eagle and Qinghong, Li Anyue said that he was not willing to share a tent with Shen Yue, saying that he was not used to sleeping with others. Just kidding, a lonely man and a widow are in a tent, what if they don't have enough concentration at night to pounce? Shen Yue didn't insist, so she let Li Anyue sleep in the tent and put herself in the carriage. Originally, Li Anyue was embarrassed to wronged him, and she just wanted to sleep in the carriage by herself, after all, he was the master, but Shen Yue came over with an ordered look, and she obediently entered the tent without any resistance.

"Are we going south now?" Li Anyue lifted the curtains and looked at the changing scenery outside the window, and it could be seen that the more you walked, the fewer signs of winter outside, there was still thick snow on the ground, but it disappeared here, and the leaves of most trees also changed from sharp and thin to wider. However, because it was still winter, a cold wind came in, which made Li Anyue shiver and hurriedly put down the curtain.

"That's right."

"The place where we used to be should be far away from the country, but it looks very prosperous, and I think the current emperor is also a Ming monarch."

"Oh?" Shen Yue raised her head when she heard this and looked at her deeply, but Li Anyue was also looking down at other things at this time, and she didn't see his expression.

"Well, it seems like this, the people are rich, and the town is prosperous, but it seems to be a little polarized." Li Anyue remembered that when she passed by before, she saw a large area of slums, which was diametrically opposed to the scenes she had seen before.

"Polarized?" Shen Yue had never heard such words.

"Meaning, the good places are good, and the bad places are bad." Li Anyue stuck out her tongue and explained, "However, the world is so big, how can it be manageable in every place, and it is very hard to be an emperor." ”

"Do you know who the current emperor is?"

"I don't know, I grew up in a small remote mountain village, basically isolated from the world." Li Anyue shook her head, besides, she was not interested in knowing who the current emperor was.

……

Li Anyue and Shen Yue sat in the carriage together, Black Eagle and Qinghong sat outside the carriage to catch the car, Li Anyue was still very nervous at the beginning, after all, he was sitting in a small space with a man who was so beautiful that he spurted blood, and from time to time he had to bear the gaze of those eyes, and any normal person would have a heartbeat. But fortunately, Shen Yue took the initiative to ask her questions, and she slowly got used to this atmosphere.

"Li Gongzi, where are you from?"

"Natives."

"Li Gongzi, I don't know what happened to Tianyang?"

"Go relatives."

"Li Gongzi, how old is this year?"

"Sixteen."

"Li Gongzi, do you have any favorite things on weekdays?"

"No, it's all so-so."

"Li Gongzi ......"

…… In the past few days, the two people in the car have asked and answered along the way as a relief to boredom, and they don't think there is anything strange in it, but the two of us outside the car are full of black lines on their faces, when did their masters become so active, and they always ask these idiotic questions, is it true that the outside world says, the master has a habit of breaking sleeves?

"Childe, you're ready to enter the Black Forest!" As he approached the Black Forest, Black Hawk shouted into the car.

"Got it, take precautions." The people in the car just replied coldly.

"Is the Black Forest scary?" As soon as she heard the name, the first thing that came to Li Anyue's mind was the dessert cake she loved before, and she shook her head and imagined a thick fog, gloomy atmosphere, and some scenes of white bones would appear from time to time, but instead scared herself so much that her hairs stood on end.

"The reason why the Black Forest is called the Black Forest is because most of the hardy trees that grow there, and the trees are shaded by the sun all year round, and the light is dim, and there are rumors that robbers are killing there, and there are often passing merchants who die here, so people call it the Black Forest, especially for its horror."

"This robber is doing evil, doesn't the court care?"

"The imperial court has also sent people there, but because the forest is very wide, and the robbers are more familiar with the forest than the officers and soldiers, they often fall into the enemy's trap and then capture them before the war starts, and over time the court no longer pays attention to it, but only advises the people not to enter the forest."

Li Anyue secretly stuck out her tongue when she listened, it turned out that it was really not scary, "How can it be like this, is there only this way?" ”

"No, there is still a road, but if you take a detour, you will need to walk for another half a month." Shen Yue looked at Li Anyue's expression and said truthfully.

Half a month? Li Anyue wasn't sure if she had enough time, and all she had to do now was to enter the capital smoothly before she was discovered. "Well, in that case, let's be more careful." Li Anyue licked her somewhat dry lips and took out a water bladder to drink.

"Anyway, Li Gongzi has a beautiful appearance, I'm afraid that even a man will be fascinated by it."

"Poof! Ahem, ahem, ahem, ......! Li Anyue didn't expect such a serious atmosphere in front of her, Shen Yue actually jumped out of such a life-threatening sentence, and all the water in her mouth sprayed onto Shen Yue in front of her, and she was choked and coughed.

"Li Gongzi, are you okay? I just made a casual joke below. Shen Yue looked at Li Anyue's choked red face and looked apologetic.

"Ahem, I'm fine." Li Anyue stroked her chest and replied with difficulty, but her heart was breathing fire, where would anyone suddenly make such a joke! This guy shouldn't be really a good man, right? Slowly eased up, looked up and saw that Shen Yue's face was covered with water droplets, and he hurriedly wiped him with his sleeve, "Ah, Shen Gongzi, I'm really embarrassed!" ”

"Childe be careful!" At this moment, with the light drink of Black Eagle and Qinghong outside the car, the carriage was suddenly stopped, and due to inertia, Li Anyue also threw herself into Shen Yue's arms, and Shen Yue also hugged her firmly in order to prevent her from rolling forward.

Li Anyue obviously heard Shen Yue's powerful heartbeat, smelled a faint fragrance of Qionghua on his body, and his heartbeat involuntarily beat rapidly.

"Childe, are you alright?" When the two of them were motionless, the curtain was suddenly lifted, and Qinghong's head came in, but he was stunned for a moment, and then quickly retracted, "Subordinates damn it!" ”

Li Anyue reacted after a while and quickly sat up straight, Shen Yue looked at her and smiled, "Li Gongzi is okay, right?" ”

"It's okay, I'll go out and have a look." Li Anyue said with a red face, but now that she may have entered the Black Forest, the light has dimmed a lot, and she can't see that she is blushing, so she wants to leave this strange atmosphere quickly, so she excuses herself to go out. Shen Yue didn't stop her, after all, she was the bodyguard he hired, and just got out of the car behind her.

It is worthy of the Black Forest, although it is winter, and some of the trees have fallen leaves, but those long branches still block most of the sun's rays, and it looks like a cloudy day.

Black Eagle and Qinghong were standing beside the carriage at this time, looking around vigilantly, and when they saw Li Anyue and Shen Yue getting out of the carriage, their faces changed slightly and they got out of the way.

"What's going on?" Shen Yue asked quietly.

"There was a tripping rope in front of me, but fortunately it was detected in time, otherwise the carriage might have gotten out of control, it is estimated that it is ......" Black Hawk was about to speak, when a rude laugh came from a distance.

"Hahahaha! I didn't expect you to fall into the trap! "With the voice, I saw a middle-aged man wearing thick felt, a shy stomach, and only a curly hair on his head appear in front of him with more than a dozen people." I planted this tree, I opened this road, I want to pass by from here, and leave to buy road money! ”

It's really an uncreative slogan, Li Anyue looked at the person in front of him and secretly rolled her eyes.

"Who is your Excellency?" Before Li Anyue could speak, Black Eagle asked coldly.

"Me? I am the master of the Black Forest! King of the Black Forest! The big man laughed arrogantly again, "If you want to go over, just leave me the money on you, this king may let you go if he is in a good mood, otherwise don't blame this king for being ruthless!" As soon as the words fell, the steel knife in the big man's hand flashed, and a tree next to him fell.

Li Anyue gasped when she saw it, it looks like a hard stubble, it seems that she has to be ready to run away at any time, but she ran away, what should she do with the remaining three people? They don't know martial arts, aren't they sent to death if they stay? I'm also a bodyguard anyway, so I can't leave them alone, right?

"In broad daylight, you rob passers-by and do such hurtful things, do you have a conscience?" Li Anyue took a deep breath and said confidently.

"Hahaha, conscience, do the brethren hear me? Hahaha! The big man seemed to have heard something very funny, and under his leadership, the rest of the people also laughed, and for a time frightened the surrounding birds and flew away.

"Boy, Lao Tzu has lived for decades, and he lacks nothing, but he lacks conscience!"

"Boss, look at this kid's fine skin and tender meat, you can grab it and play with the boss!" I don't know who came up with a bad idea, Li Anyue frowned, are all good men in this era so blatant?

"I think the one next to him is more beautiful, and I want to keep him!" Another one pointed to Shen Yue beside him.

"I think the four are good, the brothers haven't seen such a Peugeot person for a long time, so they just robbed them all!" The big man snorted coldly and said with a wicked smile.

"A dog can't spit out ivory!" Li Anyue thought of the scene in the carriage just now, and saw the disgusting appearance of those people in front of her, and couldn't help but be annoyed and angry.

"What did you kid say!" When the gang heard this, they were not happy and rushed over with great vigour.

Li Anyue didn't bother to talk nonsense with them, and threw down a sentence, "You guys stand back!" So he picked up a branch and went in. Before that, I had only studied with the master, and I just took this opportunity to practice my hands.
