Chapter 246: Another Bad News
Because everyone worked together and prepared well in advance, it didn't take much effort to pass through the demon forest.
Murong Chenhe looked at the demon forest that was gradually moving away, for fear that something would happen, but he decided to go a little further.
As night fell, the army finally reached a flat land near a lake.
Looking at the long-lost lake, the soldiers couldn't hold back any longer, and jumped into the water one by one, and the tension and fatigue that had just arrived were swept away.
Seeing Yurun enter the big tent to talk about things with Murong Chenhe, Zixiao hurriedly grabbed Wen Yi and Wu Yi, who were also going to follow, and said with a smile:
"Our county lord is looking for the general to discuss, don't bother, why don't you help me set up the county lord's tent?"
Zhao Ling'er lay on Wei Yueyan's broad back and asked, "Hey, what is Run'er talking about at this time?" Pepe, should we follow up and take a look? ”
Jiang Peipei shook her head again and again, and said, "I'm not going, anyway, Run'er doesn't leave us wherever she goes." ”
This is a bitter Zhao Ling'er, who is full of question marks, staring at the big tent without moving, as if he can see a hole in the big tent.
Jiang Peipei shook her head amusedly, patted the head of the cheetah, and said, "Cheetah, you haven't eaten anything good for a few days, you go hunt some prey." By the way, find out if there are any more dangerous places ahead? ”
At this time, Wei Yueyan spoke: "Cheetah, I'll go with you." I'm looking for some bird eggs, which can be stored for a few more days, and it's also convenient for these girls to eat on the road. ”
When Zhao Ling'er heard this, she suddenly came to her senses and said, "Take me, take me." ”
Wei Yueyan smiled and said, "Aren't you curious about what Yurun said inside?" ”
Zhao Ling'er glanced at the big tent, jumped to the ground with a bitter face, and said, "Let's go, Pepe and I will make a fire here, and you can hunt more prey and come back." ”
Wei Yueyan nodded and said, "Well, cheetah, let's go." ”
Cheetah nodded and said, "Okay." ”
As soon as the words fell, Wei Yueyan and the cheetah both disappeared in place. Zhao Ling'er, who had nothing to do, sat next to Jiang Peipei and helped her make a fire together.
In the big tent, Murong Chenhe sat on the top, looking at Yurun a little distracted, he didn't know if he was looking at Yurun or looking at another woman through Yurun-Xiao Yuelan.
Yurun felt as if she was talking to the air, and she received a response from Murong Chenhe for a long time.
"General Murong, I said so much, you should give a reaction."
Yurun pursed his eyebrows and said in his throat.
Murong Chenhe came back to his senses at this time, coughed lightly, and said, "Just now you said that you want to take Miss Ling'er and Miss Peipei to leave the army first?" Why? ”
Yurun looked at Murong Chenhe with a black line on his face, and repeated helplessly: "I really think that demon forest is weird, I have to go back and investigate." ”
Murong Chenhe shook his head without thinking about it, and said, "No, this is too dangerous. These demon trees eat human blood, what if they catch you? ”
Yurun turned around and said, "It doesn't matter if you agree or not, we'll leave early tomorrow morning." The eldest husband should focus on the society of the country, and no one from the mother-in-law and mother should want to get out of Xishu alive. ”
Murong Chenhe stood up, chased after Yurun, grabbed Yurun's wrist and asked, "What does that demon forest have to do with Xishu?" ”
Yurun's wrist was a little scratched, he pouted, and said, "I already said it just now, but I don't know why you didn't listen to it, I don't want to waste time saying it again." ”
Murong Chenhe apologized a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I was thinking about things just now, and I won't be distracted next time." It's about Xishu, can the county lord say it again? Let you leave alone like this, I'm just afraid that I will be scolded when I get to Beijing. ”
Yurun shrugged his shoulders and said, "General Murong, don't worry, I won't tell my grandfather about them, and we will arrive in Xishu safely." ”
Murong Chenhe stared at Yurun's eyes, shining, and his long eyelashes fluttered, as if he could suck people in.
After living for two lifetimes, the first time he was stared at like this by a man, Yurun's face turned red instantly.
"You, what do you want to do? Do I have something on my face? Yurun leaned back slightly, tilted his head unnaturally, and said.
Murong Chenhe was awakened by Yurun's words, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in his heart, why did he always do reckless things? It can't be that you have entered the demon forest, right?
"I'm sorry, but can you tell me? Otherwise, I won't let you go tomorrow. I don't think you want to fight with a bunch of our big guys, do you? Murong Chenhe lowered his head, his wheat-colored face was dyed red, and said in a soft voice.
Yurun pushed Murong Chenhe away in disgust and said, "You said it, as long as I tell you, you will let us go." In fact, it is very simple, generally speaking, the treasures of heaven and earth are grown in places with abundant aura, but since we entered the Shu Dao, we have not found where there is abundant aura. In addition, there is no shop in front of the village and no shop in front of the village, and from the traces on the ground, few people enter this forest. So I think the demon trees in that forest are man-made, and people will regularly send people in for those demon trees to suck. ”
Murong Chenhe nodded and said, "Your analysis is quite reasonable, it's better like this, I'll go over with you tomorrow, and I'll feel uneasy if I don't understand." ”
If it was placed in normal times, Yurun would consider bringing Murong Chenhe, but Xishu was in front of him. One more day of delay on the road, the situation in Xishu may become more difficult.
Thinking of this, Yurun unceremoniously struck: "It's better to bring you, several of us are protected by contract divine beasts, you follow us, and we also spare our energy to protect you." You better continue to move forward with the army, the situation in Xishu is unclear now, you should arrive early, and find an opportunity to deter those Xiaoxiao who have different intentions. ”
Murong Chenhe didn't expect Yurun to say such a thing at all, but at the moment of being stunned, Yurun turned sideways and bypassed Murong Chenhe and strode out of the big tent.
Seeing Yurun coming out of the big tent, Zhao Ling'er waved the rabbit leg in his hand and said, "Run'er, come and eat, the cheetah is so powerful, it has come back from so many prey." ”
Yurun saw the prey piled up into a hill, and said with a smile: "The cheetah is beautiful!" Wen Yi, we can't finish eating so many things, you can give these to the soldiers, and take the extra with you on the road. ”
Wen Yi wiped his oily mouth and said with a smile: "County Lord Xie cares, just now Miss Ling'er and Miss Pei Pei have already let their subordinates share. These are the rest. ”
Murong Chenhe, who walked out of the tent in one step, was so shocked that his jaw almost couldn't close when he heard Wen Yi's words.
"So much left? Then let them all deal with it and take it on the road. Murong Chenhe commanded.
Wu Yi handed half a pheasant to Murong Chenhe and said, "The general eats something first, and these things will be handed over to Wen Yi and his subordinates." ”
Saying that, Wu Yi pulled Wen Yi, who was eating with relish, and left.
Yurun knew that the baby liked to eat these things, so he summoned the baby, stuffed the rabbit leg in Zhao Ling'er's hand just now to the baby, and said:
"Hey, it's a treat, even though these are all cheetahs. Just enjoy it. ”
The baby took a bite and said, "Well, it's not bad." Cheetah is good, I'll get some treasures for cheetah next time, so that he can catch prey for me every day. ”
Yurun shook his head helplessly and said, "If you want to be beautiful, the cheetah still has to cultivate." ”
The baby snorted lightly, flew to the cheetah with a rabbit leg in his mouth, and continued to enjoy the food.
When the cheetah saw that the baby was eating so deliciously, his heart was also happy.
"Hey, where's Wei Yueyan?" Yurun asked strangely as he stood on the side.
Zhao Ling'er quickly swallowed a piece of meat and said, "The cheetah said that Wei Yueyan asked it to bring the prey back first, and it went to the front to explore the way." I should be back soon. ”
Yurun nodded, sat down and persuaded: "You two eat less, it's not good for cultivators to eat so much meat." When you're done, I've got some business to tell you. ”
Jiang Peipei said with a smile: "You better say it now, Ling'er eats it fragrantly." ”
"Hmm, hmm, hmm." Zhao Ling'er bit the meat in her hand and made a few sounds to express her agreement with Jiang Peipei's words.
Yurun patted Zhao Ling'er's head and said, "No, it's the last piece in your hand." ”
"Hmm!" Zhao Ling'er drooped her head in pain, lowered her head and continued to taste the food in her hand.
Murong Chenhe said with a smile: "I didn't expect the county lord to know a lot, I remember that when Yuelan was still alive in the past, you often hid behind Yuelan, and you didn't know anything." ”
Yurun sniffed and said, "You also said when my cousin was there, didn't you?" If she's gone, where else can I hide? When it's time to grow up, even if you knock out your teeth and swallow blood, you have to grow up. I don't know anything, I guess I'm dead now, and I don't even have scum. ”
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned your sadness. You're great right now, and Yuelan would be glad for you if she knew. Murong Chenhe said apologetically.
Yurun nodded and said, "If I can protect the person I want to protect, I have no regrets, and I don't want anything else." ”
Hearing the familiar words, Murong Chenhe was a little stunned, and his eyes were a little confused when he looked at Yurun.
Unaware, Yurun lowered his head and continued to throw branches into the fire.
The night can be longer, and Yurun wants to make the fire more vigorous and make it burn longer.
At this time, Zhao Linger's excited voice came, "Wow, there are so many bird eggs." Wei Yueyan, you are too powerful, you can still find so many at night. If it's daytime, you can't all loot it? ”
Yurun turned her head and found that Wei Yueyan was holding her head high arrogantly, accepting Zhao Ling'er's adoring eyes.
"Wei Yueyan, I heard that you went to the front to investigate? Is there any danger? ”
Yurun stepped forward with a smile and asked.
Wei Yueyan nodded and said, "Leave here, and then walk through a narrow mountain road, which is a swamp. ”
At this moment, the expressions on everyone's faces froze. The swamp, as soon as you walk in, you will be trapped, and it is almost impossible to escape from the swamp.
Murong Chenhe frowned and asked, "Is there any other way?" ”
Wei Yueyan nodded and said, "Yes, go back, go through the demon forest, and then go back to the previous fork in the road, and go to another path." But there used to be a birdway, very narrow, and only one person could pass through. And there is no guardrail, and there is a cliff below, which is a great test of people's minds. ”
Zhao Ling'er swallowed her saliva, just walked through the demon forest, and came to another swamp, suddenly felt that the barbecue in her hand was not so fragrant, turned her head in a daze, and asked, "Run'er, what should we do?" You must have a way, right? ”
Alas, that's bad news again!
Yurun shook his head and said, "With so many people going through the swamp, I really don't have a complete way. And I'm not going to cross the swamp right away, but for now, it's time to think long-term. ”
Murong Chenhe grabbed Yurun's hand and said, "I won't let you take risks." You let the contract beast fly over on your back, and as for the swamp, I'll figure it out. ”
