Chapter 193: Swamp Forest

Yuan Chufeng felt that this plan was good, so he agreed, and a pair of men and horses set out from the west, about 7,000 people, led by the mighty general Luo Sheng himself, and a pair of men and horses, which were the nine princes sent by the emperor.

Everyone did not set off from Hanzhou together, but only met at the halfway point, and the purpose of this separate action was self-evident.

The king of Zhennan set off from the east with Liuying and others, and traveled all the way in a carriage, but it was also smooth.

After a few days, Liuying and others trekked through mountains and rivers, at first she insisted on walking for a long time, and finally some couldn't hold on, although there were horses, but Liuying was not easy to ride.

She hurriedly said, "Why don't you go first, and I'll come later!" I can't walk anymore. ”

"Xuan Ling, stop." Yuan Chufeng said in a deep voice, and then walked down.

Yuan Chufeng saw that Liuying was unwell, and he said soothingly, "Wait, we will find the inn." ”

Liuying didn't make trouble unreasonably, she just didn't want to add to the burden on Yuan Chufeng, "I'm sorry, I'm causing you trouble, I want to help you, I didn't want to be self-defeating." ”

Yuan Chufeng stroked her head, "How can I blame you, Liuying, your heart is for my good, how can this king not know, okay, since you are tired, just rest for a while." ”

Seeing that he could finally rest, Shuqin hurriedly took out the dry food and stored water that had been prepared long ago.

"During this time, I have been eating and sleeping in the open air, but fortunately, I like to buy some beef jerky and put it in a place, and now I can satisfy my cravings."

"Shuqin, you are really prescient!" Liuying said with emotion, but she didn't expect that the road was far away, and she could still eat delicious beef jerky, which could be regarded as happiness.

As he spoke, Shuqin took out two large bags of beef jerky and handed them to Liuying and Wang Ye, "Eat some food to replenish your strength, there is still a long way to go from Michi." ”

Xuan Ling looked at Shuqin with a blank look, but he was a little embarrassed to speak, but he still couldn't help but say, "Shuqin, I'm hungry too, can you give me some?" ”

Shuqin directly threw a whole bag of beef jerky to Xuan Ling, "Here's it for you." ”

Xuan Ling took the beef jerky and ate it with satisfaction, he said with emotion, "I finally know what Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road, when I was in the capital, I never thought that one day I would sleep in the open, but this is a rare opportunity to show my skills with the prince, I won't let it go!" ”

Thinking that he was worried that the prince would blame, Xuan Ling's words changed slightly, making people laugh.

"It's good to know, I don't know how the team led by the Nine Emperors is, Xuan Ling will wait for you to pass a letter from the pigeon, ask him about the situation, the closer to Michi, the more dangerous it is, the prince of Zhou is extremely cunning, everything needs to be careful!" Yuan Chufeng admonished.

"Yes, my subordinates understand."

After eating and drinking, the hour was almost up, and Liuying and the others got into the carriage one after another, leaving Xuanling alone to drive in front.

Ning Liuying suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a forest in this part of the pond, but at this time, she couldn't find it after looking at the map, Xuan Ling saw her anxious expression, and hurriedly asked, "Liuying, what's wrong with you?" ”

"I remember not far from the pond, I heard that there was a swamp forest, and many people went in and didn't come out, and I think there is something similar around here, very similar to the rumored place, so we had better be careful."

King Zhennan could see that the map was indeed somewhat similar to the place they had walked at this time, and his eyes were furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

"It's better to believe that a map exists than to believe that it does not exist." He slowly came to a conclusion.

Sure enough, the carriage had only traveled a mile, and Xuan Ling suddenly braked sharply and stopped, Liuying didn't stabilize her body, and was almost knocked unconscious, and her tears of pain were about to come out.

"Xuan Ling, what are you doing here?" Shuqin rubbed her head and said sullenly.

"There's a forest in front of me, and in my experience with previous missions, I'm afraid it's just ...... Swamp Forest! ”

Thinking of this, Xuan Ling said worriedly.

"Get out of the car, we'll walk on foot, it's always okay to be careful." Yuan Chufeng said in a deep voice.

"Didn't the prince come here when he went to the border in the past?" Ning Liuying asked curiously.

"There is a shortcut to the border, but this time I have to go through Michi, so I have to take this road, but it happens that I haven't been here."

For everything unknown, Liuying was still a little worried in her heart, she held the hand of King Zhennan tightly, and said worriedly, "No matter what, go first and take a look, you can get to the vicinity of Michi from the forest, and there will definitely be less danger at that time!" ”

"Liuying is right, since you're here, let's go."

Yuan Chufeng tightly clasped his ten fingers, and said firmly, "With me, don't be afraid." ”

Ning Liuying said with a smile, "I've never been afraid. ”

It was a large forest, and there was no other way to go, and they were exhausted from the journey, and they had no mind to look for any other way.

A few people stepped into the forest, and found a problem, the trees here are almost identical, if it weren't for Yuan Chufeng's experience, it was sure that it was not a formation, I was afraid that I would have to retreat.

"Take a place to mark it, so as not to get lost, and don't let go of the dry food in your hand, such a huge forest is prone to swamps and other places, so you must be careful." Yuan Chufeng continued, reminding everyone.

"Yes, we understand."

The warbler followed behind the king of Zhennan, and from time to time there were strange calls in the forest, but fortunately, the light in the forest was not very dim, and the sunlight shone through the trees and shone on their bodies from between the leaves, but they did not feel any warmth.

Shuqin walked in the front, she pretended to be indifferent on the surface, but in her heart she retreated, thinking that she didn't see the road, Shuqin stepped on the empty pool on the side, although it looked like a pool, but she felt that her whole body was falling.

"Help me!" Shuqin screamed.

Seeing that the situation was not good, this was not the rumored swamp, and sure enough, after a gust of wind, she saw clearly the so-called 'pool' in front of her, which turned out to be a large swamp, thinking that it was a hot summer day, and the pool actually emitted a foul smell.

Liuying stepped forward and said to Shuqin, "Give me your hand, quick!" ”

Shuqin had a strong desire to survive, she put her hand in Liuying's hand and clenched it hard, Liuying and Xuanling both tried their best, but they couldn't pull him up.

"Lord Wang, come and help!"

Yuan Chufeng glanced around, he didn't know what he was looking for, his eyes fell on a tree, the vines were very thick, he tied the vines around his body, and put the other vines in Shuqin's hand, she said in a deep voice.

"Grab the vines and don't struggle too much, or the swamp will quickly swallow you!"
