Chapter Ninety-Four: Ice Spell
Seeing Fu Jiuning looking at a certain place, Xia Hongyu followed his gaze and saw a bright rose-red woman talking to Xia Minchen. The red is gorgeous and affectionate, and the black is indifferent and cold, but it is also very right.
"Why, seeing Qin Shuangyun make a move, you smell vinegar." Xia Hongyu looked at Fu Jiuning with an inquiring look, wanting to see through her thoughts at the moment. "If that's the case, I'll underestimate you."
Listening to Xia Hongyu saying cool words in his ear, Fu Jiuning glanced at him. said nonchalantly, "Qin Shuangyun has affection for him, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it, and it is in vain for me to stop him." It's better to be my night princess, I'm happy, and she's not happy. ”
Xia Hongyu glanced at Fu Jiuning appreciatively, and felt more and more that she was a strange woman. is not jealous or hateful, no wonder it will make Xia Minchen such a high-minded person favor her, I think she has other appearances that have not been discovered.
When there were less than ten people left under this mast, Fu Jiuning and the others made a move.
Xia Minchen looked at the hesitation in her eyes and asked with concern: "Are you waiting too long, you are a little impatient." ”
"Not really, I'm just curious about what kind of person we've been waiting for so long." Fu Jiuning's expression was faint, his eyes were clear, and there was no impatience at all. "Could it be that you've been gone for a long time, and you're looking for someone?"
Xia Minchen smiled, thinking that she was playing tricks on her own words. When Qin Shuangyun came to look for him, he must have been seen by this girl. "It's good to have you, I need to find someone else. What we have to wait for now is Wang Ze, the guard with a sword in front of the emperor. With him, this time the bow is in our pockets. ”
Listening to the meaning of his words, Fu Jiuning was a little puzzled.
According to common sense, the palace guards or generals should avoid many forces with the prince. One is to prevent the suspicion of the Lord, and the other is to protect oneself. But this Wang Ze dared to form an alliance with Xia Minchen, not to mention how he was able to come to this autumn hunting conference, even if he came, he shouldn't be so blatantly waiting.
Xia Minchen took out two white pills, handed one to Fu Jiuning, and took the other by himself. "Eat this Qingshen Pill first, and he will come later."
Through Xia Hongyu's introduction, Fu Jiuning can be regarded as having a deeper understanding of this Aoki Forest.
The outer forests are empty and there is little prey, and when you go deeper, you will encounter a natural barrier made up of miasma. It is connected to a deep swamp and is multitude with corrupted plants and some poisons, and if you are lucky, you can hunt green pythons the size of a bowl. Finally, there is the deep ground of the Aoki Forest, which is connected to the Liangyu Mountain Range, but no one has ever entered the deepest part.
The destination of the five of them was in the middle of the forest, where they hunted dark brown wild boars.
Wang Ze was more handsome than Fu Jiuning imagined, with fair skin and a tall figure. He was wearing a pale blue hunting suit, but his clothes were also trimmed with gold.
After greeting a few people, they set off towards the Aoki Forest.
Five horses of fine coat galloped along the path, stirring up a cloud of dust.
"What is the identity of this Wang Ze?" Fu Jiuning asked the curiosity in his heart, Xia Minchen was leading the horse to explore the way ahead, and when he heard her words, he paused and waited for her to step forward.
"You've noticed, too." Xia Minchen was not surprised by her question at all, after all, the robe with gold rim was not something that anyone could wear. He paid special attention to Xia Qingwan's movements, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that his identity was not simple. "He is the only heir under the knee of the eldest princess today, and it stands to reason that he should be our cousin."
Fu Jiuning suddenly realized, no wonder she didn't know Wang Ze's identity. This eldest princess is extremely mysterious, and in her early years, she fell in love with a person who had attained enlightenment, but she did not achieve a positive result. After leaving only one son, he died, but he didn't expect that Wang Ze's life experience was also quite legendary.
"Then he's here to protect Juan'er?"
"It's not even a no," Xia Minchen said unhurriedly, but glanced at Wang Ze with meaningful eyes. "My father deliberately left the secret guards around, so he didn't have to come in person."
Then, the only thing that can make the noble imperial guards feel at ease is that weakness.
He likes Xia Qingwan.
Miasma surrounds the edge of the Aoki Forest, and as long as you pass through this swampy land, you will have already broken through the perimeter of the Aoki Forest. The pungent smell rushed straight to people's minds, Fu Jiuning was unprepared for a while, and was disturbed by this miasma, and suddenly his mind was unstable, and he was about to fall off the horse. Xia Minchen quickly helped her steady.
"Hold your breath and raise your breath, and urge the Qingshen Pill."
Fu Jiuning urged the Qingshen Pill, and sure enough, he felt that his mind was much clearer, and he didn't even feel so irritable with this blue-gray miasma.
It stands to reason that this miasma should not work on her, but she began to try new poisons soon after she entered the medicine infant constitution, and she has not yet recovered from the toxicity of the day before. Although this miasma is not very toxic, it seduces the toxicity in her body again, and it is inevitable that she will feel that her breath is unstable.
Judging from the fact that the branches of the trees around it were broken in large pieces, there must have been a lot of people passing here. Although it was still noon, the visibility of the Aoki Forest was very low under the cover of the miasma.
Occasionally, when a few sons dressed up and wanted to come forward to say hello, after seeing the Ruiwang token on Xia Hongyu's waist, they all obediently took a detour.
The swamp was right in front of me, and the black-brown wet mud covered the whole land, and the saprophytic plants crawled all over the barren land, producing sinful fruits.
Xia Minchen beckoned everyone to stop. The swamp has spread even deeper, and this year it has spread at least five meters to the periphery compared to previous years.
Xia Qingwan closed her eyes tightly and was silent, she sensed the changes around her, and finally opened her eyes. "Sixth brother, the swamp has crossed the Grimace Sycamore, and this time, there seem to be other uninvited guests."
The Grimace Sycamore was a mark they had made in their previous trip based on the extent of the swamp, and it seemed that the swamp was growing at a rapid rate every year.
Fu Jiuning wanted to speak and stopped, but he preached the hearing to Xia Minchen. "Wan'er has the power of perception?"
Looking at her curious look, Xia Minchen nodded and answered her.
According to Xia Qingwan, in previous years, this swamp was not big, and according to the bouncing ability of the snow treading horse, as long as there is something in the middle of the swamp that can be used as a pedal, then it is easy to cross the swamp. Now the swamp has extended so many distances that it is not good for anyone to get bogged down in the mire in case of an accident.
If you try to cross this swamp through the void, you have to abandon your horses, which is not a good idea.
"I have a way to get there, but I've just recently mastered this ability, and there may be accidents." Fu Jiuning pursed the corners of his mouth with a serious expression.
Everyone looked at her curiously, wanting to know what she could do. Xia Qingwan smiled sweetly at her as encouragement, although she didn't know much about her sister-in-law, but she still liked it from the bottom of her heart.
"You can give it a try." Xia Minchen looked at her gently, as if she had guessed what she wanted to do.
Fu Jiuning dismounted neatly and led the snow-white foal to the edge of the swamp. I saw her half-kneeling on the ground, and the five fingers of her right hand were spread out and pressed to the ground. Her mouth vibrated with words, and a subtle blue light lingered around her, and a bridge of ice about two meters wide formed on the swamp at a speed visible to the naked eye. Crystalline ice beads covered a patch of surrounding vegetation with a thin layer of frost.
This is a fifth-order move that can only be used, and it is called the Ice Spell. Although she is now at the peak of the fourth order, she has already practiced the Ice Condensing Spell several times early, perhaps because her hard work pays off, she is very proficient in mastering the Ice Condensing Spell, and she does not feel difficult to use it at all.
She led the little white horse to the center of the ice bridge, which extended directly to the end of the swamp. She patted the little white horse on the neck, and the little white horse obediently walked down the ice bridge to the solid ground.
Fu Jiuning took advantage of the fact that everyone did not react, looked around and found what he wanted to find on this trip.
