Chapter Eighty-Four: A Serendipitous Encounter
Gu Chuhuan held the map in his hand, and was a little puzzled, there was obviously a post station in this location, why did it disappear for no reason, and only a vacant land was left?
"It's not surprising that this location is already remote, and if the post station can't make a profit, it's common sense to close. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
"Judging from the map, the next post station is in Houtian Village, and it will take about half a day to rush over from here, what does Your Highness think?"
"Today is a day without rest, if you continue to hurry, Ming Yan is fine, but the girl's body is afraid that it will not be able to stand it."
"I'm fine, it's just that these two horses are rushing day and night, and Chu Huan is afraid that there will be damage. Otherwise, there is an empty meadow in front of me, and I have a blanket in my package, so I will spend the night there! β
The two fed the horses on the empty grass, Xiao Mingyan went to pick up some dry firewood to light the fire, and then said to Gu Chuhuan: "Miss Gu rest early, and wake up tomorrow and then hurry." β
"Doesn't Your Highness sleep?"
"It's quiet and smoke-free around here, so you have to pay attention to it, I'm not in the way."
Gu Chuhuan laid out the blanket and lay down, although his body was tired, it was difficult to fall asleep for a while.
She faced the night sky, put her hands behind her head, and quietly watched the twinkling stars in the sky.
Tonight's night is exceptionally good, the bright upper Xuanyue emits a bright but not dazzling light, and the stars in the sky are flashing and twinkling, neither competing with the Xuanyue, but it is impossible to ignore.
How long has it been since you've seen a star in a meadow?
The only time in his last life was with Xiao Liran, that was before he and Xiao Zhengyuan fought against the water, and that night was also such a quiet night, such a starry sky.
Xiao Liran held his hand and said emotionally: "This may be the last moonlit night of this life, no matter what, tomorrow is enough to think of you by my side......"
I remember that I didn't let him finish his words at that time, and gently covered his lips and told him: "Even if I die, this is my happiest moment." β
Thinking of this, Gu Chuhuan's eyes suddenly sour, and two lines of tears were silently drawn.
"If there is warmth, who wants to go alone......"
Catching a glimpse of Gu Chuhuan's tears, Xiao Mingyan whispered.
As if someone was peeping through his mind, Gu Chuhuan didn't answer, and turned his body to the side.
I don't know when I fell asleep, but when I opened my eyes again, the sky was already slightly bright.
Gu Chuhuan glanced at the side, the fire in the firewood pile had not been completely burned out, and Xiao Mingyan was still sitting next to the fire, but his eyes were closed.
Gently putting the blanket on Xiao Mingyan's body, Gu Chuhuan got up and wanted to find water to wash his face.
Just took two steps, suddenly heard a slight sound, Gu Chuhuan's ears were extremely sensitive, she stood on the ground and did not move, and listened carefully, confirming that it was the footsteps of a group of people, and the footsteps were coming in her direction.
Gu Chuhuan tiptoed his hands and feet on Xiao Mingyan's shoulder, and then motioned for him not to speak, and the two of them put out the fire and then hid behind the big tree next to the clearing.
After a while, about eight or nine people rushed to the fire, and when they saw that there was no one around, the man in black led by him wondered, "How can there be no one?" β
The man next to him speculated: "Big brother, you see that the fire has just been extinguished, and you think that you haven't gone far yet." β
The man at the head looked around, "Your Highness instructed us to find that group of people, if the mine is found by them in advance, we will all die." Brothers, keep looking for me, dig three feet into the ground and find them too! β
Xiao Mingyan and Gu Chuhuan glanced at each other, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes.
"Big brother, you see there are two horses over there!"
A group of people hurriedly surrounded them, and their eyes lit up when they saw two sweaty and bloody horses with pure fur.
"Big brother, this is the legendary bloody BMW? Obediently, what an eye-opener! β
"I heard that this horse is worth a lot of money, why don't you ride it up and be majestic, and show the brothers the demeanor of the eldest brother!"
The man at the head couldn't help but be instigated by everyone, and he also coveted the sweat and blood, and temporarily forgot about finding someone, and stepped on the stirrup without saying a word.
But he forgot one thing, what kind of spiritual thing is a sweat and blood BMW, how can he be controlled by a mere errand runner?
As soon as he got on the horse, Fu Zhi raised his head to the sky and let out a roar, this roar was different from that day to Gu Chuhuan, at this moment he was trembling, and the horse's tail kept swaying, which was obviously a precursor to anger.
The people below thought that their boss had conquered this BMW, and they couldn't help but cheer.
Xiao Mingyan looked at Gu Chuhuan and said softly, "If you don't want to, I'll drive them away." β
Gu Chuhuan shook his head with a smile: "You don't need to do it, he wants to ride Fuzhi, but he is not qualified enough." β
As soon as the words fell, I heard a painful scream from the man on horseback, it turned out that Fu Zhi threw him off the horse with all his strength, and then the four hooves stepped over him respectively, and the man almost only made a sound, and his internal organs were torn apart, and his seven orifices were bleeding.
Fu Zhi rushed towards the crowd with joy, everyone was defenseless, two people were trampled by it, and the others were also frightened, and no one dared to stop them.
As soon as Fu Zhi ran, the other horse also ran, and when the gang got up and looked, where were the two horses?
Looking back at the man lying on the ground and being called the eldest brother, he had already lost his breath and was whimpering.
Everyone was shocked, and they didn't bother to bury the man's body, so they sat in a circle and discussed it.
"Why is that horse so powerful...... Now that the boss is dead, how can we explain to His Highness? β
"For the sake of today's plan, I had to lie that the eldest brother was killed in battle with the other party's people."
"But we haven't even seen each other's shadows, how can Your Highness believe it?"
"We know His Highness's methods, so it's better to disperse and ask for more blessings in the future......"
"Never! If Your Highness knows, how can we have a place at the ends of the earth? Besides, our family is in his hands, how can we escape? β
"It's come to this, we can only try our best to find the other party's group, if we find it, there is still a chance of survival."
After discussing for a long time, everyone seemed to have made a decision, and without delay, they got up and chased in the southwest direction........
When they were far away, Gu Chuhuan and the others walked out from behind the tree, Xiao Mingyan whistled, and the two sweaty and bloody BMWs arrived in front of them in a moment.
"His Royal Highness in their mouths should be the emperor's brother, but the matter of the mine is confusing."
Gu Chuhuan looked at Xiao Mingyan: "I heard my father say that he wanted to discuss the matter of the map with His Royal Highness, didn't he mean the treasure map?" β
"Treasure map?"
Xiao Mingyan's expression was very surprised: "Mingyan never knew what the treasure map was, as for what Ye Lao said, it was the border defense array." β
"Border defense formation?"
Gu Chuhuan was also a little confused.
"Not bad. In recent years, the Beitu people have repeatedly invaded our Annan country, so the Hou Ye discussed with me to make a border defense map to resist foreign enemies. How could Miss Gu think it was a treasure map? Could it be that you know something about this? β
"I see. Chu Huan had heard about the treasure map, and it was rumored that Qiao Yuanwai had a map of a silver mine in his hand, which disappeared after he fell into the well and died. Now it seems that it should be in the hands of the eldest prince. β
