Chapter 24: An Unexpected Someone Appears

Yun Yan and Xiao Ying kept moving towards the south, the surrounding jungle was becoming more and more lush, the road was getting narrower and narrower, and slowly the horses could no longer pass, so the two of them had to tie the horses to the side and walk deeper on foot.

"Little master, there is almost no way here!" Xiaoying began to worry a little.

"Be careful, let's go inside!" Yun Yan was very curious, completely ignoring the obstacles encountered on the road.

"Well, be careful, it's getting scary!" Xiaoying was a little scared.

"Xiaoying, do you think there will be any monsters in here?" Yun Yan deliberately teased Xiaoying, and she saw Xiaoying's fear.

"Didn't that boss say that this is the forbidden land of dragons, and there are evil dragons in it!" Xiaoying retorted softly.

"Even though I said that, I still want to see if it's true!" Yun Yan was still very curious, she had seen dragons before, but she was very curious about what the evil dragon would be like.

"My duty is to protect you, not to bring you to such a dangerous place!"

"Well, I know, you're the best for me!"

"The trees here are too tall, and it's hard for the sunlight to get in, little master, should we go?" The cold is already in the forest, adding to the danger.

"I don't know if I can go up to the top with light work?" Yun Yan pondered.

"I'll try, you stay still!"

"Hmm!"

While speaking, Xiaoying had already performed light skills, but soon came down, it was too high, and Xiaoying worked hard, but she couldn't reach the top.

"Can you see anything?" Yun Yan asked.

"I can't see it, the trees here are too tall!"

"Go further and see if there are any trails or something!"

"Well, good!" Seeing that her little master was so persistent, Xiaoying couldn't say anything more.

The two of them walked one after the other into the depths of the jungle.

Inside the deep palace compound.

"Xiaolian, where is the prince?" Yueqing asked.

"Back to the crown princess, the crown prince was summoned by the Dragon Emperor!" Xiaolian has followed the prince for many years and is also loyal.

"Really?" Yueqing was very strange and called the prince at this time.

"Yes, the other two princes have also been summoned!" Xiaolian is a high-level maid, so she knows a lot of things.

"Have you ever asked what is going on?"

"It is said that the fourth prince is about to return!"

"Fourth, too, if you think about it, you've been out for several months!"

"Exactly!"

"By the way, Xiaolian, how is the matter with what I asked you to inquire about?" Yueqing still cares about this.

"Back to the crown princess, Concubine Jing has been worrying about the three princes' lifelong affairs recently."

"Oh, so does she have a favorite?" Yueqing really wants to know this.

"Yes, it's the second daughter of Murong Mansion, Murong Yunyan!"

"If it's really her, it doesn't seem to be a rumor!" Originally, she didn't believe it, but now it seems that the rumors are true.

"That's true, and it is said that earlier, Murong Yunyi was sick and the third prince went to inquire in person!"

"It's a little trouble!" Yueqing looked worried.

"Xiaolian doesn't understand, why is it troublesome?"

"Who doesn't know that Murong Mansion is affectionate, and can actually let the third prince take the initiative to visit, I'm afraid that no one else except Concubine Jing doesn't have this ability, this Murong Yunyi must be grateful to this prince. If he really married Murong Yunyan, it would be like a tiger with wings for the three princes, and if it came to the time when the Holy City of the Four Directions changed masters, he might be a very strong opponent! ”

"Yes, not to mention that the second prince is also eyeing this supreme position!" Xiaolian added.

"That's right, although he is now the crown prince, he still has to guard against those with bad intentions, so as not to have an uncontrollable situation in the future!"

"You're right!"

"No matter what, in order to prevent anything bad from happening, we must do a good job of dealing with it, Xiaolian, you are by the prince's side, and let your people keep an eye on me, so that nothing goes wrong, especially with the second imperial concubine, Xi Guifei is not a fuel-efficient lamp!"

"Yes! Xiaolian understands! ”

It was already getting dark, and the two of them were walking farther and farther deeper into the jungle.

"Little master, it's so quiet around, otherwise let's go back, we've been out for a long time!" Xiaoying is very worried, she hasn't gone back at this time, and the general's wife and the young master must be in a hurry.

"But what if we didn't find anything, should we just go back?" Yun Yan was still a little unwilling.

"Little master, we have entered the depths of the jungle, this is a forbidden place, aren't you afraid of causing any trouble?"

"You say, there won't really be a dragon imprisoned here, right?" Yun Yan still didn't give up.

"How do I know, I hope there won't be, otherwise, we won't be able to defeat the dragon!"

"That's right, or we'll go back!"

"Hmm!"

Just when the two of them turned around and walked back, they found that they couldn't go back to the original road, but fortunately, the two people did not panic, but patiently followed the road they came.

"Little master, did you hear that?" Xiaoying was so frightened that she hurriedly pulled Yun Yan.

"Did you hear that, too?" Although Yun Yan was a little scared, he was still a little excited.

"Hmm!"

"What a loud purr, who's who?" Yun Yan became even more curious.

"It's really human, don't you think it's a bit too loud?"

"It's a little, it seems to have come from a distant direction!"

"Looks like over there!"

"Are we really going to check it out?"

"Well, we're all here, let's go check it out and go!"

Following the direction of the sound, the two men moved forward with difficulty. Finally, the two of them passed through the thick forest, and a huge sinkhole appeared in front of them.

This sinkhole is like an open mouth, devouring anything that accidentally enters. The two of them moved forward cautiously, for fear that they would be swallowed up if they were not careful.

"Why is there such a big pit here?" Xiaoying's voice was very small, and she asked softly.

"I don't know, isn't this the place where the dragon is held?" Yun Yan guessed.

"It seems to be very deep, can you see the bottom?"

"Of course it's very deep, the sound came from the ground, it is estimated that it must be thousands of meters underground!"

"I think so!"

"It's snoring louder now, it can't really be a dragon sleeping underground, right?"

"That's it!"

"It's getting late, let's go back, this hole looks so scary!"

"Well, well, let's go!" Although Yun Yan was unwilling, he could only leave, because the moonlight had already shone in, and it was very late.

Just as the two of them were about to turn around and leave, suddenly the surroundings fell silent for a moment, and in the absence of all defense, the two people were knocked to the ground and lost consciousness in an instant.

I don't know how long it took, but the two of them gradually woke up, and the surroundings were already a different scene. The two of them were lying on a huge rock, surrounded by a curtain of cold water, and although the surrounding area was blurry by the sunlight shining from a high place, it was still possible to see the cold stone wall, and the cold air was oppressive.

"Little master, you, are you alright?!" Xiaoying was very flustered and quickly helped Yun Yan up.

"Uh-huh, well-known!" Yun Yan also just reacted

"We, where is this?"

"I don't know, let's see first!" With Xiaoying's help, Yun Yan got up and looked around.

"Hmm!"

"Little master, this shouldn't be a forbidden place, right?" Xiaoying asked tentatively.

"It doesn't feel like it, but it's possible! Come and see here! ”

"What is this?" What caught my eye was rows of dense text, but it seemed to be a very old script, and the two of them couldn't read it at all.

"What is this written about?"

"I don't know, it's like a symbol!"

"I guess!"

"Little master, do you feel that this place feels like a cage, which makes people very uncomfortable!"

"yes, why don't I think, I feel okay!"

"I don't feel good at all! Let's find a way to get out of here! ”

"Also, it's been so long, my father and brother should be worried!"

"You still know!"

"Of course I know, let's find the exit!"

"Well, okay!"

Just as the two of them looked around, the water around them began to become restless, and the gurgling water kept bubbling out, and when the two people were surprised, a huge wave suddenly set off and blurred their vision.

The reaction of the two people was relatively fast, blocking them with clothes, so as not to enter their eyes, and I have to say that in such a humid environment, the clothes on their bodies were not completely dry, and they were only so blocked, so it was still a bit useful to simply close their eyes. When the two of them felt that their surroundings had settled down, they removed the sleeves of their clothes in front of them, and suddenly saw a picture that frightened the two of them.

What caught my eye was a black, hideous dragon, which constantly emitted hot and humid white gas from the dragon's mouth, and directly slammed into the faces of the two people. The two of them were directly dumbfounded, and sat down motionless on the stone. But they soon discovered that as the dragon surfaced, huge chains also appeared.

"What are you doing here!" Following the voice, the two of them looked up, the original dragon disappeared, and it was already a man standing in front of them, the man in front of him was a little bearded, but he couldn't hide the traces left by his handsome face when he was young.

"You, who are you?" Yun Yan spoke.

"I ask you!" As he spoke, a cold sword had already rested on Yun Yan's neck, and he was caught off guard at all.

"Little master!" Xiaoying didn't have time to react, and she was already restrained and couldn't move.

"Speak!" The man's voice was cold, like an iceberg for thousands of years, without a trace of temperature in it.

"We just accidentally got here!" Yun Yan replied very calmly.

"Tell the truth!" The sword in the man's hand was a little closer to Yun Yan's neck, and it was already tightly pressed against his neck.

"I just accidentally walked here, but I didn't expect it to be the forbidden land of the dragon!" Yun Yan's answer was still calm.

"You actually know this?!" The man was obviously a little surprised, although the woman in front of him, although her body was still trembling, her eyes were full of stubbornness.

"Of course I do, and not only that, but I know more!"
