Taihe City is in a dangerous terrain, with Erhai Lake in the west and the towering Zhonghe Peak in the east. With a height of more than 1,000 zhang and a modern altitude, the peak is a veritable steep peak. The top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round, and the snow on the top of the mountain between the clouds and mist is like a fairyland on earth.

Of course, there is no one to live on the snow line, not even the mountain people of Nanzhao Kingdom. Most of the mountain dwellers live in the woods below the snow line. The further down, the more lush the forest becomes, and there are countless precious flowers, trees, and rare birds and animals.

Princess A Luo lived in the dense forest of Zhonghe Peak, as the princess of Nanzhao Kingdom, of course, it was impossible to live with other mountain people, her residence was on the mountainside of a side peak at an altitude of five or six hundred meters, and Ge Luofeng also gave enough protection to that piece of mountain, and it was a place that would not be disturbed.

Wang Yuan thought of doing it, but General Ah Jin was helpless and had to lead the way. The lord of the country said that in addition to the sacrificial places in Nanzhao Kingdom, Wang Jiedu envoys can go wherever they want, and Ah Jin can't stop them.

The group went out of the east gate of Taihe City to the east, and after a few miles, they arrived at the foot of Zhonghe Peak Mountain, along the forest mountain road opened up, meandering all the way up in the dense forest, and climbed to the mountainside. The road was arduous and difficult for the horses to ride, so they had to walk on two feet. Between the dark mountains and forests, all kinds of strange sounds are terrifying. The sound of birds and beasts passing through the forest sounded in the surrounding woods, and it seemed that there were countless watching eyes staring at this line of nocturnal people in the surrounding forests, giving people a very bad feeling.

Zhao Qing and Tan Ping are like facing a great enemy, and Dashuai is taking a risk. There are many unpredictable dangers in the land of Nanzhao, and there are only a few personal guards accompanying him on this trip, so he is worried everywhere. Now that the handsome and willful night walk up the mountain, I don't know what kind of danger there will be between the mountains and forests.

Fortunately, although the surrounding forest is pitch black, you can still clearly see the obstacle of the road on the mountain road that has been opened. After all, it was almost mid-June, and the moon was not yet full, but the moonlight shining from the trees was still very bright. If it weren't for the moonlight, Zhao Qing and Tan Ping would never agree to Wang Yuan going up the mountain. Moreover, Tan Ping, who has lived in the mountains and forests until he has grown up, also recognizes the strange sounds around him, and he knows that those beasts are not a threat, so he doesn't have to worry too much.

After more than an hour, everyone climbed a mountain ridge sweating profusely, and suddenly it became open in front of them, and the mountain peak was like a huge staircase, leaving a crescent-shaped flat ground here. At the other end of the flat land was still a black mountain, but in front of me was a flat ground illuminated by moonlight, with sparse trees and grass, and the sound of a waterfall could be heard in the distance.

"Wang Jiedu, this is where Princess Aluo lives, that ...... The lord of the country has an order, no one is allowed to set foot here, the villain can no longer take the envoy of Wang Jiedu forward, take a few more steps, and the villain will be cut off by the lord of the country. General Ah Jin wiped his sweat and said.

Wang Yuan frowned and said, "Where does Princess Aluo live here?" ”

General Ah Jin pointed to the southwest direction on the moonlit grass and said: "There is a small lake called Moon Lake over there, it is said that Princess Ah Luo lives on the shore of Moon Lake, and I don't know the specific residence, because the villain has never been here." This is a clearing in the forest, where the old lord originally planned to build a mountain palace, so he cut down the trees in this area, but later gave up the idea of building a palace because of the cost of manpower and financial resources. This is not a big place, and you should be able to find the princess's residence by the lake. It's just that...... In the middle of the night, it was better not to disturb the princess. After all...... After all......"

Ah Jin wanted to speak and stopped, and it was difficult to speak thoroughly. I didn't want to offend Wang Yuan, but I didn't want Wang Yuan to break in.

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "General Ah Jin, do you know the relationship between me and Princess A Luo?" ”

Ah Jin smacked his lips and said, "How don't you know?" I, the people of Nanzhao, no one knows about Wang Jiedu and Princess Aluo. ”

Wang Yuan said: "Now that you know, do you still think I will have any intentions against Princess Aluo?" And according to the customs of your Nanzhao Kingdom, shouldn't Princess Aluo be my person? What's wrong with me going to see her? ”

"This ...... There's nothing wrong with that. Ah Jin muttered.

Indeed, if according to the custom of Nanzhao, Wang Jiedu can go to see the princess at any time and place, that is his right. It's just that the Nanzhao people generally have a bad impression of this Wang Jiedu envoy, one is because this person almost destroyed the Nanzhao Kingdom, leaving a great shadow on the subjects of Nanzhao. The second is that this person abandoned Princess Aluo, the colorful peacock of Nanzhao Kingdom, and Princess Aluo could only live alone in the mountains, and the people in the city could no longer see Princess Aluo smiling and strolling on the streets. Therefore, psychologically, Wang Yuan is extremely repulsed.

"That's it, there's nothing wrong with that, there's nothing wrong with that. But don't worry, if Princess Aluo sleeps, I won't disturb her, I'm a dignified envoy of Jiannanjie, don't you think I'll be the kind of person who steals chickens and dogs. ”

"No, no, Wang Jiedu is light, but the two generals and a dozen brothers of the villain and your family must not set foot in it."

Wang Yuan nodded and said, "That's nature." They're just going to stay here. Zhao Qing, Tan Ping, you all stay in the forest, you don't have to come along. ”

Zhao Qing hurriedly said: "Dashuai...... How can you go there alone? ”

Wang Yuan waved his hand and said: "Needless to say, this is not the Longtan Tiger's Den, this is just my private matter." ”

Zhao Qing and Tan Ping were speechless, so they had to whisper yes, Wang Yuan exhaled, stepped out of the forest, stepped on the grassy land, and walked along a vaguely recognizable path towards the sound of the waterfall in the southwest direction pointed by Ah Jin.

The area of this open space is indeed not large, and when Wang Yuan walked for a short time, he saw a sparkling wave under the moonlight in the distance. It was the ripples of the water in the moonlight, shining silver in the moonlight. The lake is not large, and it is in the shape of a crescent moon according to the mountain, and the waves are sparkling and beautiful under the moonlit night.

Under the black cliff, a white horse fell from a height of several feet, emitting the roar of flowing water. It was a quiet night, and the sound of water seemed a bit loud, but Wang Yuan knew that with the scale of this waterfall, it should not be very disturbing during the day, and it was more like the background sound of the murmuring water.

Along the grassy embankment by the lake, Wang Yuan walked and looked around, and finally, among the few tall trees by the lake, Wang Yuan saw a small two-story bamboo building, and an orange wind lantern hung under the corridor, which was not eye-catching in the moonlight. Wang Yuan walked over gently, standing on the wooden steps in front of the bamboo building, listening to the movement in the bamboo building. But the whole bamboo building was quiet, and no human voices were heard.

Judging from the surrounding scene, there must be people living in the bamboo building, because the ground is clean and smooth, and this is by no means like a place where no one lives. If this kind of place is uninhabited, I am afraid that it will be overgrown with weeds around the small bamboo building in ten days and half a month. It's just that the night is too late at this moment, it should be four watches, the moon is about to set, and Princess Arlo must have fallen asleep.

Of course, Wang Yuan didn't want to break into Princess Aluo's boudoir at this time, so he slowly left the small building and came to the shore of Moon Lake, pacing slowly along the wooden plank road.

The gentle roar of the waterfall in the night breeze came, the breeze blew through the surrounding mountains and forests and made a sound like waves, the wings of birds flying at night in the night sky, and the murmuring of unknown birds in the mountains and forests. On the surface of the lake in front of you, the water waves shimmer in the moonlight on the west slope. The fragrance of pine trees, the fragrance of wild flowers, and the freshness of water mist in the air also hit my mind. Being here, the senses of sight, hearing, smell and smell have been greatly enjoyed, which makes Wang Yuan feel at peace and at peace.

On the side of the plank road, a small boat undulates with the lake, gently touching the wooden stakes on the shore. This sound caught Wang Yuan's attention. Wang Yuan's childlike heart suddenly rose, tied the rope on the bow of the boat and gently rocked the oar offshore, and rowed in the lake for a walk. I don't know how long it took, tiredness hit, Wang Yuan simply put down the oars and lay down in the boat and drifted with the waves, looking up at the stars in the sky and the fast-moving clouds, and unconsciously closed his eyes and fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, Wang Yuan was excited by the cold droplets, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a large cloud of mist shrouded from the top of his head, and his whole face felt wet. Startled, Wang Yuan sat up suddenly. But seeing the sunshine around, the green mountains stand quietly, the green water is like pearls, the white clouds in the sky, and the surrounding green trees are quiet. And he was still lying on the boat and drifting with the waves, but the boat floated near the waterfall at some point, and the splashing water droplets made his clothes and head and face wet, and it was extremely cool and clear.

Wang Yuan couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
