"Marshal? The marshal you are talking about, is it Empress Ling? ”

When the armor who had just been talking and laughing with Qiu Xiaobei heard this rhetorical question, he immediately fell silent, and a yin qi stronger than ordinary ghosts burst out, Qiu Xiaobei was so shocked that he stepped back, and secretly said that this general is worthy of being a general, and the spirit after death is so strong.

But immediately after, the armored general instantly slammed his aura and flew out of the window.

"General!" Qiu Xiaobei subconsciously chased to the window, but there was no shadow of the armor outside, she searched carefully left and right, she was looking for the armor, and suddenly a burst of dizziness struck, her eyes were dark, and she hurriedly grabbed the windowsill.

Breathing a little fast, she gasped twice, the dizziness subsided, she opened her eyes again, but she was startled by what was in front of her, and quickly stepped back, only to find that it was a tree, and she had just stood in front of it, with her hands on the trunk.

She was blindfolded, how could she come here with her eyes closed? And, where is this?

She turned around and looked around, a little familiar and very unfamiliar, and it took a long time to remember that this should be the mountain connected to the fruit forest, because there is a difference between day and night, she didn't recognize it at once, but why did she come here?

When the night wind blew, she shivered, tried to tighten her clothes, and found that she was wearing thin pajamas, the same one she was wearing tonight, she wondered if she was dreaming, but she was not wearing shoes, the touch of her bare feet touching the ground was too real, and the chill when the cold wind blew was also real.

Just when she was puzzled, she saw the armor again, not far in front of her, the helmet with no black face seemed to be looking at her, and when she saw it, she turned and ran, and it was time to either run back into the courtyard or ...... Catch up.

She chose the latter.

Because, she could feel that the armor general had no ill will towards her, not to mention, this might also involve Fan Shenxi's queen mother Ling Jinge.

She ran for a long time, and ran to a place that she hadn't been to when she came with Fan Shenxi before, and now she was completely in a strange place.

"Drink!"

The sudden majestic and imposing voice shook him, Qiu Xiaobei quickly turned around and saw a team of black-armored cavalry, they were wearing black armor and holding spears, and the black horses under them were also majestic, and every time they took a step forward, the land seemed to be shaking.

In front of them was the armor general, who was somewhat different from them, and the one she had chased all the way to her, who was now leading such a cavalry, as if with a surging tide rising to a height of ten thousand years.

Even if he had seen all kinds of ghosts fighting with his parents before, Qiu Xiaobei had never encountered such an amazing momentum.

She stumbled backwards unconsciously, retreating to the tree before her, and had to stop when she hit her back, and she raised her arms to block the front and closed her eyes as the armored general led the cavalry behind her.

But she shrunk for a moment, but nothing happened, and she quietly opened her right eye, and then opened her eyes in astonishment—the cavalry bypassed her and went on.

Qiu Xiaobei grabbed her neckline in shock, hesitated, but she still stood up straight and followed.

She ran and stopped all the way, followed the cavalry at the end, and finally came to a mountain wall, she stared at the ghost soldiers slowly going up around the mountain wall, and finally, in the middle of the mountain wall, the ghost soldiers went directly into it!

This, how does this make her follow, first of all, she can't go up to the place that is at least a few feet high, and secondly, she can't go through the wall?

At that time, I didn't know what to think, she turned around at the foot of the mountain wall, found the vines, actually wanted to grab the vines and climb up, the idea was completely out of her control, she really grabbed the thick vines, and struggled to climb up a little bit, her body seemed to become much lighter, just climbed for a while, she felt so tired and tired, as if a lot of energy was consumed, and the exhaustion of the spirit made her body become heavier and heavier.

She wanted to stop, but the person fell in mid-air, and if she stopped, she would fall down if she was not careful, but if she continued to go up, it seemed that she would never reach her destination, and she couldn't even remember why she climbed this vine for.

yes, why, did she forget something?

In such a flash, her hand suddenly slipped, and her exhaustion prevented her from catching it in time, and the whole person fell down quickly-

"Ahhh

"Becky? Becky! ”

Qiu Xiaobei felt that she was caught, her body trembled, and she was hugged tighter, it was the tightness that made her feel at ease suddenly, she opened her eyes, and the sight was Fan Shenxi's worried gaze, she called stupidly: "Shenxi? ”

Fan Shenxi breathed a sigh of relief and hugged her into his arms.

Qiu Xiaobei looked back from his shoulder and found that he was sitting under the window, and Fan Shenxi probably rushed over, not even in a wheelchair, sitting on the ground like her, thinking that he might have crawled over just now, she hugged him with her backhand in distress.

Behind her stood a shadow guard.

"What's going on?" She was confused.

"It's okay, it's okay." He kissed her hair, and I don't know if he was really coaxing her, or if he was telling himself, "Go back to bed first, it's cold on the ground." ”

He quickly calmed down, the shadow guard pushed the wheelchair over, Qiu Xiaobei helped Fan Shenxi into the wheelchair and returned to the bed, as soon as he sat on the bed, Fan Shenxi first pulled the quilt over and covered her: "What's uncomfortable?" I asked people to ask for a doctor, and Ming'er called Ziyi again. ”

"No, I'm fine."

It's a little cold to be blown by the cold wind in the mountains, but this will not feel that way, obviously it is very cold at night at this time, let alone lying on the floor in single clothes.

Wait, in the mountains?

Qiu Xiaobei remembered that she had seen a group of ghost soldiers and the armor general in the mountains behind the fruit forest before!

"What's wrong?"

Fan Shenxi saw her suddenly freeze, and hurriedly hugged her into his arms, not forgetting to wrap her in a quilt.

Qiu Xiaobei shook her head, she asked with some surprise: "Did I just lie there all the time?" ”

She pointed under the window.

"I was lying there when I woke up," Fan's eyes darkened, "is there anything you want to tell me?" ”

"I—I don't know," she looked up, dazed and innocent, "I seem to have had a strange dream, I don't know why I'm lying there?" ”

Fan Shenxi stared at her for a while, and finally gave up the interrogation: "Well, maybe it's just sleepwalking, it's okay." ”

The shadow guard quietly retreated, and the two of them also lay on the bed again, but Qiu Xiaobei was still staring at a certain place in a daze, and Fan Shenxi patted her back: "Don't worry, I will definitely hold you tight this time, and I won't let you go away alone." ”

The words "......" sound comforting, but how can it be a bit of a threat and warning?

Qiu Xiaobei didn't let himself think too much, grabbed his clothes and said, "Tomorrow, let's go to the fruit forest to pick some fruits, right?" ”

"If you want to go, you can go." He stroked her head, seemingly unsuspicious of her proposal.

She responded with a "hmm", her eyelids that had already fought were closed, don't think that dreaming can relieve fatigue by sleeping, sometimes she is too tired in her dreams, and the more she sleeps, the more tired she becomes, she climbs a mountain until she is exhausted, and she will fall asleep in both breaths.

Before the lantern was extinguished, a shadow guard jumped in from the window and shook his head at Fan Shenxi.

When he wakes up at night, he realizes that something is wrong, he usually wakes up because he is too alert, someone comes in, Xiaobei leaves, etc., but this time he wakes up a little drowsy, the kind of person who wants to sleep because of alertness and a little resistance, forced to wake up.

He had a premonition that something was not good at that time, and sure enough, Qiu Xiaobei was not in his arms, he immediately sat up, and saw his wife fall in front of the window, and his heart almost jumped out at that time, because he didn't know her situation, he was afraid of her...... Afraid of her......

"Someone!"

When he called someone, the person had already leaped off the bed, his feet couldn't move, and he was lying on his stomach when he fell to the ground, no matter what happened, he was calm, elegant and calm, and always online, he could almost be said to crawl to Qiu Xiaobei's side in embarrassment, and lifted her up to feel her normal body temperature and heartbeat, and her ruddy face, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

An even greater anger ensued: "Come, man? ”

The two shadow guards jumped down, they both knew that they were derelict in their duties, and the difference between the shadow guards and the guards will be highlighted here, the guards will only plead guilty on the spot, after the shadow guards found out that they were wrong, the first time was to deal with the wrong things to make up for it, one of the shadow guards immediately jumped out of the wide open window to pursue, and the other went out to check why the guards who were guarding did not move, and then they came back, knelt on the ground and said: "The people outside are all right, but they don't know what happened, they don't even know if they are asleep." ”

"What about you?" Fan Shen glared at the shadow guard viciously.

The shadow guard knelt on his feet: "Subordinate...... Also slept. Your Highness, this is not the first time this has happened, in the beginning, we, like the guards outside, did not even know that we were asleep. "It's just that they've been through too much training, so they can always feel that something is wrong, and after two or three more experiences, they still fall asleep, but they can confirm it.

"Your Highness," the shadow guard hesitated, but still said, "Every time this happens, it's when Master Bei has something abnormal. "Like coming back from outside, or going out.

At that time, they could almost confirm that it was Xiaobeizi who stunned them, and now they feel the same as those few times, they really have reason to suspect that Qiu Xiaobei stunned them, but they don't understand how she herself is fainting here.

This is their suspicion, but they will not say it directly, and mention it until now, His Highness is so smart that he naturally understands.

For the sake of his own life, the shadow guard said: "This drug is not harmful except for making us fall asleep silently for a short time, Master Bei should be fine." ”

Fan Shenxi had already checked her in the process of Ying Wei saying this, and really confirmed that she was fine, her face softened slightly, and then she also woke up at that time, and all the questions of Ying Wei, he didn't mean to ask at this time, he only coaxed her to rest, and he was inevitable all night, just looking at her until dawn.

I'm afraid that if she is not careful, she will disappear from her arms again.

Fear can make a person cowardly, but it will also make a person stronger!

……

Coming to the fruit forest again, the fruit farmers who guard here are very enthusiastic, they are also members of the other courtyard, and after retiring from the army, they have pondered the agricultural technology here, and have cultivated such a large area of fruit forests, seeing His Royal Highness Fan Shenxi, the prince and the people around him, they are not only enthusiastic, and they can't wait to pick all the ripe fruits and bring them back to eat.

Qiu Xiaobei endured the faint anxiety in his heart, and accompanied the fruit farmers to pick a lot, only to say that he also wanted to "find treasures" in the mountains, and the fruit farmers accompanied them to the mountains, this will, Qiu Xiaobei found that they seemed to deliberately let them avoid a more hidden path, because the path was overgrown with weeds, and it was almost impossible to notice that there was a path that could be passed.

This time, however, when the growers were about to direct them to another path, she pointed to the other road and said, "I want to go over there?" ”

The fruit farmer was stunned for a moment, and just as he wanted to speak, he heard Fan Shenxi, who favored his wife, agree without any objection: "Okay, let's go this way." ”

"Your Highness, Miss Bei," the fruit farmer who brought them here, a man in his forties and in the prime of life, wiped his sweat with the cloth towel around his neck casually, "This road is not easy to walk, and it will become more and more desolate as you go, here we are the most familiar, where there are good things we know best, follow us, yes." ”

Fan Shenxi looked at Qiu Xiaobei with a smile, looking like she was completely in charge, Qiu Xiaobei pretended to be willful and said: "I want to go here, I want to go and see for myself." ”

"This ......," the farmer looked at His Highness in embarrassment, "but it's really inconvenient to walk over there." He alluded to the fact that His Highness was in a wheelchair, and that the road was not easy to pass.

Qiu Xiaobei, who used to be very good at thinking about Fan Shenxi, insisted very much: "It's okay, we can always pass it if we slow down." She looked down at Fan Shenxi, "Okay?" ”

Fan Shenxi's bottomless connivance: "Of course you can." He said to him, "Okay, let's go this way, since it's a treasure hunt, it's natural to find a place that you don't go to much, otherwise you're all familiar with it, and there's no fun to talk about." ”

As soon as he gave the order, the guards behind him stepped forward to clear the way.

The fruit farmer frowned, glanced at his companion, and had the intention to stop the prince but did not dare to really offend the prince, and in the end, he could only follow.

One of them whispered to the leader: "In the past, His Highness was decisive in killing, when will he be fascinated by beauty?" "It's completely moving towards the color of the mind.

The captain of the fruit farmer who took the lead was more discerning, and he said: "I think it is very likely that His Highness himself discovered something and deliberately let Miss Pei take the lead, and he himself went this way naturally." ”

Your Highness, but the marshal's son.

"So what do we do now?"

"Adapt to the situation."

At the beginning, the road was really difficult to walk, the unevenly distributed trees made them go around several times, Qiu Xiaobei herself couldn't remember where she had passed in the early stage of the dream, and she almost got lost, and she couldn't let the fruit farmers lead the way, because the fruit farmers would definitely take them out again.

Fortunately, the guards had some skills, and Qiu Xiaobei could vaguely feel a very light and weak summoning in the dark, and under perseverance, after the most difficult stage, the road gradually opened up, and it was also at this time that they came to a place that Qiu Xiaobei was familiar with...... The place I came to in my "dream" last night.

She endured the joy, but she couldn't help urging everyone to hurry up.

Fan Shenxi glanced at her, his eyes had his own calculations, but he didn't say anything, only obediently let the team speed up.

Soon, Qiu Xiaobei finally saw the towering vertical mountain wall that was the most impressive in the "dream".

She didn't know what secrets this place had, but she just wanted to come and see it, and as soon as she stood under the mountain wall, her heart "thumped", because of her own family tradition, she never felt that this mysterious feeling was just a coincidence or an illusion.

There must be someone or something hidden in the mountain wall.

But she couldn't say it directly, so she could only turn to the fruit farmer who didn't look right at first glance: "What is this place?" ”

The farmer smiled: "What else can it be, a cliff, do you still have to climb up and find another 'red heart'?" He was a little embarrassed, "Ouch, I'm afraid this won't work, this mountain wall is too steep and vertical, there is no way to go up, it's too dangerous to force it up, and it doesn't have to be, so don't be dangerous, right?" ”

"Hehe, no, I'll ask." Qiu Xiaobei took two steps forward, looked up at the mountain wall, and sighed, "I always feel that this mountain looks very strange." ”

"Aren't all mountains like that, what can be so peculiar?"

"Yes, every mountain is different, have you ever seen that mountain look exactly the same? This is just like us, everyone looks different. Qiu Xiaobei was talking nonsense with the fruit farmer, and his feet seemed to be inadvertently moving forward step by step, and the fruit farmer was surrounded by her words, and saw that she had walked to the mountain wall.

Just as they were about to follow, they were stopped by the guards, they were busy looking at Fan Shenxi, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince glanced at them indifferently, obviously dissatisfied with their behavior of hiding something and repeatedly blocking them.

But so are they......

"Shenxi, come here."

Qiu Xiaobei on the other side of the mountain wall suddenly shouted, his tone a little eager.

Fan Shenxi asked a few fruit farmers to be optimistic, and he brought two guards over: "What's the matter, what did you find?" ”

Qiu Xiaobei didn't notice that there was something wrong with his words, and grabbed a few vines in his hand to show him: "This vine is not right." ”

"Huh?"

"This vine ...... Not new. ”

Fan Shenxi smiled: "What do you mean by this? ”

"What do I mean...... Alas, whatever it means, this vine is wrong. Qiu Xiaobei was anxious and had no intention of explaining, so he pulled the vines and studied it.

Because she "dreamed" last night that she had been climbing this vine, so she checked the vine as soon as she arrived, because of medicine, she naturally had to study all kinds of planting, although this vine looked green and green, but she still found from some details that this vine was afraid that it had not grown in the soil for a long time.

Seeing that she didn't have the patience to answer, Fan Shenxi was not angry, he pushed the wheelchair closer, grabbed two vines from Qiu Xiaobei's hand and came over to take a look, and then looked up along the vine in his hand, his wrist shook, and the vines waved from bottom to top.

He narrowed his eyes, shook the vine a few more times, and found that something was wrong, and he pointed a little higher: "This, from there, cut it down, cut it down on the stone wall, and use four parts." ”

At this time, the guard who followed him was dressed as a shadow guard, took two steps back and rushed forward, jumped nearly four meters in one leap, and cut it down with a vine in the place designated by Fan Shenxi, and the knife collided with the stone wall with a clanging sound.

Qiu Xiaobei had a tacit understanding with him, and ripped down all the vines around him that were glued to the wall and hung them down one by one, swinging them one by one, so that Fan Shenxi could see it clearly.

Fan Shen swept his eyes one by one, and pointed out a few more places, asking the shadow guard to cut vines with different strengths and heights, and required the knife to hit the wall.

As the vines fell one by one, after Fan Shenxi didn't let the shadow guard cut the vines anymore, they heard a "boom" sound.

The first reaction was that it was an earthquake, because in addition to the sound, they did feel that the ground seemed to be shaking slightly, and after waiting for a while, everyone realized that it was not an earthquake, but a stone slab that sloped up from the stone wall.

The slate is not long, it is more than half a meter, and the width is almost half a meter, and you may not think that the slate is small in other places, but it can be placed on the stone wall, if you want to step on the slate, you will feel that it is too small.

Everyone looked up, the stone slab was inclined and surrounded, and there was no place to reach the top of the stone wall, that is, it was impossible to reach the top of the mountain by stepping on the stone slab.

For the time being, from a visual point of view, there is nothing outstanding in the last place of the slate.

Qiu Xiaobei stared straight at there for a while, and said resolutely: "I want to go up." ”

What no one expected was that Fan Shenxi did not refuse, but said, "Go and bring the crutches of the palace." ”

The shadow guard immediately understood what he meant, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, if you don't worry, let the humble man go up with Master Bei?" ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, Qiu Xiaobei found that this shadow guard was undoubtedly eleven.

"Bring the crutches to Hongu!"

didn't even turn up the volume, but Eleven didn't dare to refute, so he answered "yes" and stepped back for the time being.

Qiu Xiaobei opened her mouth, Fan Shenxi's feet were "inconvenient" to walk, she also planned to let one or two shadow guards accompany her, the shadow guards were so powerful, it shouldn't be difficult to let her not fall, she wanted to persuade Fan Shenxi to wait here, but the words were in her throat for a while and she swallowed.

She understands Fan Shenxi's temper, unless it is a last resort, how can he allow her to be escorted by another man to go there, and the reason why she came here and wanted to go up to see it was because it was about the armor general and his mother Ling Jinge, but in the end, she was at most a daughter-in-law, if there was really anything on it, it would be good for him, a parent, to go up and take a look.

And she believes that Fan Shenxi will not do things that she is not sure of...... After all, he never did anything to disgrace him, and the kind of crawling to her last night was a very exceptional case.
