"Why can't I leave you?" Su Lan deliberately asked rhetorically.

"As you say, we're friends."

Su Lan looked at Xiao Ling's serious and sincere eyes, and suddenly couldn't bear to tease him.

Xiao Ling valued the friendship between him and her so much, Su Lan suddenly remembered his childhood, presumably for so many years, Xiao Ling had no friends, so he would regard the friendship between them as so important.

"I'm teasing you! Seriously! Su Lan laughed.

Hearing this, Xiao Ling's expression softened.

"Oh! That's right! There's one thing I'd like to tell you! "Su Lan, I remembered something.

"What?"

"I'm going to the Night Forest in two days."

"The Dark Forest?" Xiao Ling frowned: "What are you doing there?" It's dangerous. ”

"I know, I'm not going alone!"

"And who are you going with?"

Belch........... I asked her about this, why did she forget it for a while! The prince and Xiao Ling are mortal enemies!

"Who?" Xiao Ling continued to ask.

“............ Prince. Su Lan replied in a voice like a mosquito.

Sure enough, as she expected, Xiao Ling's face immediately changed when she heard this, and her eyes narrowed dangerously, as if she was planning something.

"What are you going to do?" Xiao Ling asked lightly.

Su Lan thought for a moment, but decided to tell him her purpose. After all, they had experienced life and death when they were pressing the bottom before, and he also knew about the broken compass.

Su Lan took a step closer and motioned for Xiao Ling to lower her head, but helplessly Xiao Ling was indeed a bit tall for her, so Su Lan had to stand on tiptoe.

Xiao Ling looked at Su Lan, who was approaching him step by step, and swallowed his saliva silently, feeling a little nervous suddenly for some reason. Then, when Xiao Ling found out that Su Lan wanted to be close to her ear to tell him about it, Xiao Ling breathed a sigh of relief, but inexplicably, he felt a little empty in his heart.

"When I was at the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner before, I found that the prince may have compass fragments on his body." Su Lan lowered his voice and said in Xiao Ling's ear.

At this time, Xiao Ling didn't hear what Su Lan said clearly, his mind was blank now, and the feelings of his whole body were placed on his left ear, Su Lan's warm breath when he spoke, sweeping his ears, making him feel a tingle, as if there was an electric current passing through his whole body.

"Listen to me?" Su Lan looked at Xiao Ling, who was unresponsive, and asked.

“............. Well, listened. Xiao Ling blinked unnaturally and nodded.

"So, you should know what I followed the prince to Aiyan Forest this time!"

"You want to take this opportunity to get close to the crown prince and get the compass fragment from him."

"Yes!"

"But it's too dangerous."

"What's the danger?" Su Lan raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

"There are too many demonic beasts in the Dark Night Forest, first of all, the environment inside is very unsafe, and if you want to get the compass fragment from the prince, he will definitely not give it. The power of the compass is still so great, then the prince has obviously felt it, why should he give you such a thing in his favor? ”

"Of course I won't ask him!" Su Lan was a little baffled, could it be that she stupidly went to the prince and said: Hey! Brother Huang! I've got a crush on you! Give it to me! Will the prince obediently hand over the compass fragments to her!

"Yes, so you can only steal or rob, there is a prince, and the people around you are not idle people, and the risk of you doing this is too great." Xiao Ling analyzed seriously.

"It's okay! I'll do it before I know it! Su Lan said confidently.

Xiao Ling was still a little worried, he had been in vain with the prince for so many years, and he had already seen through what the prince was. On the surface, he is honest and loyal, but behind the scenes, he is ruthless and vicious, Su Lan was obviously deceived by the prince, thinking that he was an easy person to deal with.

"No, I don't worry about you, I'll go with you!"

"No! If you go with me, the prince will be very wary, and it will be even more difficult for me to steal it. Su Lan immediately refused.

"That............ I'm following you from behind, and if there's any danger, you signal to me. ”

"You're following us? How many days will it take us to go out this time? You don't care about the affairs of the court? While the crown prince is away from the court this time, you can do a lot of things you want to do. Besides............" Su Lan stretched out a finger and poked his chest hard, and then whispered: "Do you still want to be a prince!" ”

Xiao Ling looked at her in surprise.

"Don't worry! I've been with you for so long, I already know what you think, and I won't tell anyone! ”

Of course, Xiao Ling knew that Su Lan would not tell the prince, but he was just very worried about Su Lan's safety.

"Then I'll let Nightwind lead someone to wait for you behind, and once you're in danger, you'll send a signal."

"Good!" Su Lan looked at Xiao Ling so worried about her, and was a little helpless, so she had to agree.

At the same time, Su Lan was also a little touched, since she left the Chu State, no one would care about her so much. Now, there is a person whose worry is so palpable when she wants to go alone.

............................................................................................................

"Brother and sister!" When the prince saw Su Lan coming, he immediately beckoned to her.

However, when the prince saw that the snow fox was still lying on his body? When he was alone, the prince's face had a hint of stiffness.

How can there still be people?

"Brother Huang! I'm coming! Su Lan also responded happily.

"Brother and sister, you told me last time, weren't you the only one coming?" The prince restrained the dissatisfaction on his face, and asked indifferently.

"Ah........... This one, it's actually a temporary decision, Brother Huang, just take him alone, it shouldn't be a big problem, right? Su Lan asked cautiously, she was really worried that because she brought one more person, the prince would have objections.

After all, when the prince told him about going to the Night Forest, he specifically asked her if she would bring someone with him, so he ordered him to go down and prepare things.

"Ahh I just see the human eye, you can ask! Ha ha! The prince laughed and explained.

He ........ A friend of mine heard that I was going to the Night Forest and wanted to follow along. Su Lan made an excuse and prevaricated at will.

"That's right."

"Hmm."

"Childe, shall we leave now?" The Prince's men came over and asked.

"Let's go!"

"Yes!"

Because their purpose this time is the Dark Night Forest, they did not take a carriage or ride a horse this time, they are all riding some spirit beasts that can walk, these spirit beasts not only have a developed sense of smell, in the Dark Night Forest, they can perceive danger in advance, and when they encounter danger, they can also use it as combat power to fight against the enemy.

The prince and the two of them made a brown bear about three meters tall, about the size of Xue'er.

The spirit beasts that the other prince's men rode on were a flaming wolf and a black two-headed dog, both of which were about the same size as Xue'er.

There is also the spirit snake eagle that has been flying in the sky, this kind of smoke wings spread out up to four meters, the body is huge, and the body is strong.

Su Lan was very interested in that two-headed dog, this kind of two-headed dog Su Lan had never seen or heard of, so he couldn't help but be a little curious, and looked at it twice.

"Brother Huang, what kind of spirit beast is this?"

The prince followed Su Lan's gaze and said with a smile: "I don't know you!" This is a mutant spirit beast two-headed dog. ”

"Mutant spirit beasts?" Su Lan understood that the so-called mutated spirit beast was a spirit beast that had undergone tremendous changes in posture and ability due to the fluctuation of Xuan power and its own problems.

No wonder I haven't heard of this spirit beast yet!

Because the spirit beast's ability to move is very fast, almost all of them can travel hundreds of miles a day, so if they are resting at night, then it will take them about four days or so to reach the dark night forest.

"Rest!" The prince ordered.

The Prince's men immediately jumped down from the back of the spirit beast and set up the tent they were going to stay in tonight.

Su Lan found that it was good to follow the prince all the way, at least he didn't have to sleep in the open, and now he still has a place to live!

The prince's men had already set up a fire, and then they went out to hunt a few wild games and came back, and the prince directly skinned two rabbits with his bare hands and roasted the hares.

"That friend of yours, won't he come down to eat?" The prince was roasting the rabbit while chatting with Su Lan.

"Ah, I almost forgot about him!"

Su Lan pushed Yan Yu, who was still sleeping: "Hey! Get up! ”

"Hmm.........." Yan Yu was sleeping in Zhengxiang, and impatiently pushed away Su Lan's hand.

Su Lan was not in a hurry, leaned lazily on Xue'er's body, and said casually: "But what about roasting several game, don't you know how fragrant it is when sprinkled with condiments, cough cough, if you don't eat it, then I'll eat it for you?" ”

"What game?" Yan Yu immediately opened his eyes, even though there was still a little apprehension in his eyes, but when he came together, he stared at Su Lan and asked.

"Well, roast a few hares." Su Lan pointed with his hand.

Yan Yu immediately jumped off Xue'er and went straight to the prince, to be exact, to the fire beside the prince.

Xue'er looked at Su Lan pitifully, the smell of barbecue was so fragrant, Xue'er was also hungry.

"Good boy, Cher, you can't eat anymore." When she set off this morning, Su Lan asked people to prepare two roast pigs for Xue'er, because on the way, Su Lan was worried that Xue'er would be hungry, so she could feed her in advance. However, if Xue'er was fed food again at night, Su Lan was worried that she would be able to hold her up, so Su Lan could only pretend not to see Xue'er's pitiful eyes!
