Zi Biao and Ye Lu Chang didn't know what Yi Han was looking at, so they walked over. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As soon as she approached, Yi Han blinked her eyes, muttered for a while, and said, "Look at it, what is this mark here?" ”

Hearing this, both of them were a little stunned, and leaned over to take a look. This mark is on the back of the tree, there are knife marks, it should be engraved, there is a little paint in the mark, it is more conspicuous when you look closely, this mark is a little weird, like a knife and it seems to be carved at random, the age should be some time, blurry and not very clear.

What does this mark mean, and is it meant to guide us wherever we go? But how can it be carved on the back of a tree? Yeluchang muttered after reading it, generally the mark should be engraved in a more conspicuous place, at least in a position that can be seen at a glance, and it is also necessary to look for it, but this mark may not be able to be seen if you don't look closely.

Ziqiao and Yi Han both shook their heads, indicating that they couldn't understand. I don't know if Yi Han has been squatting for a long time, but he also straightened up, took a few steps back, tilted his head, and said suspiciously: "Let's go inside from the front to see that the mark is behind the tree, but if we want to go out from the inside, isn't this mark on the front!" ”

Not?

Both of them trembled, and hurriedly got up and stepped back, Yi Han's words made sense, it seems to be a lot more conspicuous from the inside, especially if you deliberately look for it, you can see it at a glance, so this mark should not be a way to go inside, but more like an icon to go out.

Zi Biao took a deep breath and said lightly: "Could it be that the soldiers in the barracks carved it?" Afraid of getting lost in the mountains, so you carved a mark and guided you out? ”

"I don't rule out the possibility of that." Yeluchang pursed his lips and frowned, "But there's dye in the sigil?" Who came to the mountains with dye? ”

Yi Han thought for a while, then turned around and walked forward for a while, then turned around and turned over under another big tree, only to hear one sentence Sure enough!

Hearing this, both of them ran over with the source of the sound, and saw that another big tree was also engraved with the same mark as before, and there was also some dye in the mark, which was relatively blurry. Yi Han squatted for a while and then stood up, and said: "These marks should be icons of going out, they are engraved from the inside, we people can't see them when we go inside from the outside, if it weren't for the unintentional turn just now, I wouldn't have found these strange marks." ”

"And who carved it?" Ziqiao bit his lower lip and asked.

"I don't know." Yi Han glanced at him, and continued after a long silence, "No matter who carved it, at least one thing is certain, since it is an icon that is quoted outward, then there must be something in it, this person has been here, and he has been here more than once, so these marks are engraved." ”

Yeluchang and Ziwei both nodded, they had no objection to her words, and they really wanted to continue to look for this mark and go down to see where they would take them in the end, but when they looked up at the sky, it was already gray, and the night was approaching, so they were a little regretful. On the other side, Yi Han also looked at the sky, obviously at this time, he couldn't continue to go deep into the mountains, after all, it was not good to say that there were any wild beasts in this wilderness that would hunt at night, as for the imprint, it would not disappear for a while and a half, so let's wait until tomorrow to find it.

The servants also summed up for a while and decided to rest on the spot. Vigil is definitely also a top priority, it is never a bad thing to be careful in this kind of place, Yi Han is not interested in this thing and climbs up the treetops and goes to rest, leaving Yelu Chang and Zi Xiao staring at each other.

Get... still had to rely on themselves, but neither of them slept last night, and they were almost sleepy after climbing the mountain for another day today, but Yeluchang was an elder brother after all, and he still felt sorry for his cousin, so he asked Ziqiao to rest first, and he came to guard.

Ziqiao said that he would take a nap for a while, and let his cousin wake him up in the middle of the night to rotate or something, Yeluchang smiled slightly, and did not delay the time, so he nodded and agreed.

The late autumn night is very cold, and the Milky Way is like a shining white belt across the starry sky, silently casting a mysterious silk veil over the earth. The moaning of crickets echoed in the small area, seeping into a hint of coolness.

Yeluchang leaned on the trunk of the tree, came back to his senses from the sky, and glanced at Ziwei who was sleeping on his arm beside him, he was really tired, he didn't say anything to his cousin and fell asleep with his eyes closed, Yeluchang took off his clothes and armor to cover Zibi, although it couldn't resist anything, it was better than nothing, and then he also pillowed his arm, leaned his head on the trunk, yawned, and looked at the sky.

The importance of the vigil is self-evident, and although Yeluchang was so tired that his eyelids were fighting, he did not dare to fall asleep at all. His Royal Highness King Lu, maybe he didn't expect that there would be such a day, and it was his turn to be a subordinate today, I don't know if Emperor Tianzuo, who was far away in Shangjing, knew that one of his favorite sons would fall into such a vigil, would he be angry.

Of course, Yeluchang is voluntary, there are only the two of them here, and it is natural for him to take care of his younger brother as an elder brother. Before I knew it, this guard was a night, and until the next morning, Yeluchang was reluctant to wake up Zibi...

In the early morning, the sun is lazy, soft but with a hint of harshness. Zi Qiu's eyes closed fiercely, and his somewhat sore body, which had stretched lazily for a moment, let out a childish moan, and he was about to wake up from sleep, and slowly opened his eyes in the dazzling sunlight, and after a while, he adapted to the light, but he was stunned for a moment! Sunlight!

"Table... Cousin..."Ziqiao turned his head in surprise and looked at Yeluchang beside him in disbelief. Yeluchang was sitting by the tree, his left leg stretched out, his right leg arched and stepped on the ground, his hands on his knees, as if he heard Ziqiao calling himself, so he turned his head sideways and looked at him beside him, the corners of his mouth hooked, and said with a smile: "Wake up?" ”

Ziqiu's teeth trembled slightly, he propped himself up, and the armor covering him also fell to the ground, Ziqiao picked it up, and choked up a little in his heart as if he had knocked over a five-flavor bottle: "Cousin, why don't you call me?" ”

Yelu Chang smiled again and didn't care, looked at the sky again, took a deep breath, and said softly: "It's okay, you were tired yesterday, take a good rest, I'm in good health, so if you don't sleep for a day or two, it won't be a big deal." ”

"Cousin..."Ziqiu's heart seemed to twitch again, he lowered his head and bit his pale lip, so moved that his eyes flashed with tears, "Cousin, why don't you take a break." ”

Yeluchang shook his head and refused directly: "No, it's not early, when the girl gets up, we will look for the mark and look for it, I'm just afraid that closing my eyes will delay a lot of time, it's better not to sleep now, be more energetic." ”

"But..."Ziqiao was still worried that his body would not be able to hold on.

Yeluchang knew his cousin's kindness, looked at him, and proved to Ziwei that he was very good with a light and clear smile. However, he himself still knew his current state, although he was very tired, he could still hold on and not fall down, so he patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Okay, don't worry, I'm fine." ”

Zi Biao felt uncomfortable after hearing this, Ye Lu Chang knew very well how he was Zi Biao, this is a family affection that blood is thicker than water. He is not stupid, if there is anything to happen to his cousin today, he will definitely not turn a blind eye, so he will no longer persuade him, chat with his cousin, and wait for Yi Han.

Outside the Wolf Pan Mountains.

The soldiers of the Liaozhong Army and the Imperial Forest Army, who were in charge of sealing the mountain, also crossed a huge forest in front of them after half a afternoon and a night of non-stop, and the depths of the woods were extremely dense, and the movement of the horses was relatively hindered, delaying a lot of time.

And the scene that came out of the dense forest and presented in front of them made more than 10,000 soldiers stunned! The two armies are facing each other, and there are many swords and halberds, if it weren't for the fact that they belong to the same country, I'm afraid it would make people think that this big war is about to break out!

Xiaoshan Yimu and Yelu Yuanli led thousands of soldiers to confront the more than 10,000 search troops in front of them, and they didn't seem to be very dull.

Looking at the few black-and-gold armor-armored Imperial Forest Army generals and some silver-armored cavalry commanders wearing red cloaks at the front of them, these people were all high-ranking officials in the military camp, and they were two small deputy commanders, and any one in front of them could overwhelm them.

Xiao Shan Yimu took a step forward with a solemn face, and saluted respectfully, that is, he said: "I don't know what the commanders are doing with this fanfare to send troops into the Wolf Pan Mountain Range?" ”

A general of the heavenly cavalry, driving his horse and walking a few steps, said angrily: "We are ordered by the noble concubine Niangniang Yi to go into the mountains to search for His Royal Highness King Lu and the second young master of the Lu Mansion. ”

Yelu Yuanli took a deep breath and replied: "The commander is angry, we are also stationed here by His Majesty's holy order, and if it were not for His Majesty's holy order, we would never dare to let it go." ”

"You guys!" That day, the cavalry commander's face was extremely ugly, and an officer of the Imperial Forest Army next to him walked out and said to them: "Who are His Royal Highness King Lu and the Second Young Master, there must be no need for us to waste our tongues here, here are not only the commanders of the Zhongjing Marshal's Mansion and the commanders of Liaozhong, but also my Imperial Forest Army, the President of the Imperial Forest Army, the Governor and all the Imperial Forest Army Commanders of the Zhongjing Imperial Palace, you weigh yourself, if there is any accident with these two sons, a head on your neck, Can you afford it? In the end, he was already furious and roared.

Xiao Shan Yimu and Yelu Yuanli fell silent for a moment, and at the same time, they swallowed their saliva, and when they looked closely, they saw that their bodies trembled slightly. The ranks of the people in this person's mouth are simply frighteningly high, and they are simply out of reach of the two of them, but they are also the direct bosses at the top.

Although they are afraid, they do have the emperor's order, and the two of them are in such a difficult situation to ride a tiger, which has also dragged on the time for a long time. The confrontation between the two armies lasted for a long time, and the unexpected situation here also caused the cavalry to send a message to the hall of the annex of the hunting ground in the form of flying pigeons.

The commanders were discussing the detailed process of the search after the mountain was closed, but the subordinate generals who suddenly came to report the confrontation in front of them surprised everyone in the hall.

"What? The eleventh part of the Royal Guards? Yelu was stunned when he heard this, and all the commanders of the Imperial Forest Army present also had puzzled expressions on their faces, "Where did the eleventh part of the Royal Forest Army come from?" Pure! ”

Yelu Tuji also looked at the puzzled expressions of the crowd, frowned, and heard Yelu continue to the general who reported to him: "Our empire is divided into five capitals, and each city imperial palace is divided into two royal forest army troops, a total of ten, when did you run out of eleven divisions!" ”

The subordinate general who heard the report also scratched his head and was at a loss, so he explained: "Uh... That's exactly what the letter says. ”

Yelu Tuji also took a deep breath and muttered, "This army is actually stationed in my Liaozhong, but I don't know any news." ”

Saying that, the officers of the Imperial Forest Army also looked over, yes, this is Liaozhong, no matter who is deployed by the army, they should also say hello to the Marshal's Mansion, no matter what Commander Hou said, he can be regarded as the second-in-command of the Marshal's Mansion, it is impossible not to know. Everyone has no clue when they think like this, but those people claim to be stationed in the mountains by His Majesty's holy order, if they want to break through, wouldn't they... The following were guilty of...

This is a bit too rebellious, and if you don't get it, you will have to be arrested and beheaded. Several commanders all showed embarrassed expressions on their faces, and their eyes looked at the noble concubine Niangniang who was sitting on the main seat.

The concubine Niangniang naturally heard what the subordinate general had reported just now, frowned and pondered, this matter is really difficult to deal with, it will definitely not work if she doesn't enter the mountain, she is worried about the two children? It doesn't seem to work to enter the mountain, if Emperor Tianzuo is here, things will be easy to do, but this Shangjing is also two or three days away from Zhongjing, and she can't wait for the time it takes to go back and forth.

Just when everyone was a little helpless, Yang Liang behind Qin Xirui was silent for a while, and bowed to the noble concubine, that is, "Niangniang, there is a way for my subordinates." Yang Liang paused slightly, took a breath and continued, "The Liaozhong Army and the Imperial Forest Army were blocked outside the mountain, this is indeed a bit of an accident, since there is His Majesty's holy decree, it is inconvenient to be disobedient, Fang Jin's plan can only let them go into the mountain to find people!" ”

As soon as Yang Liang said this, the noble concubine was a little stunned, obviously this is also a way to do it, Yang Liang's face was a little solemn and continued: "But without the heavenly cavalry, I'm afraid the progress will be a little futile, so I still have to send someone to rush to Shangjing to meet Your Majesty in an expedited horse and ask for a permission holy decree." ”

The concubine is slack, but what can she do? No matter how favored she is, she still has to think about this disobedience to the holy decree for a moment. He closed his eyes and nodded in a low voice.

Seeing that the concubine nodded, the generals also went down to order their subordinate generals to do things according to Yang Liang's words. Yang Liang was still standing there, his expression was very indifferent with a hint of puzzlement, this army can be stopped, how did those two boys get in? But even if he thought so, he didn't say it, after all, now was not the time to discuss it.

It didn't take long for a group of people to hurriedly walk in outside the door of the hall, and the front was a middle-aged and elderly man dressed in eunuch clothes.

Seeing the person coming, all the generals in the center of the hall saluted and said, "Grandpa Hou." ”

This person is the former father-in-law of the consul general palace in the Luanqing Palace in Shangjing, who is a second-grade eunuch, and is the chief steward of the concubine Niangniang's bedroom, who takes care of all her daily life and diet in the palace on weekdays, no matter where the concubine Niangniang goes, he will almost take him, and he is also the most favored person of the concubine.

Hearing the call of the generals, the concubine also opened her eyes and looked over, and the father-in-law walked in quickly, his anxious expression did not decrease at all, and he waved his hand sharply with a soft voice like his daughter's home: "Excuse me." As he spoke, he came to the front of the concubine Niangniang, and saluted hurriedly, "Oh Niangniang, the old slave has just arrived in Zhongjing, how did he hear that such a thing happened?" ”

Of course, the concubine Niangniang knew what he said, so she shook her head helplessly and sighed, and asked, "Why did my father-in-law get to Zhongjing?" How are things handled in Luanqing Palace? ”

Father-in-law Hou looked a little embarrassed, and said: "Niangniang don't ask, the old slave has arranged that matter for a while, and the specific needs to be planned after Niangniang goes back." After a pause, he continued, "The old slave rushed to Zhongjing by His Majesty's holy decree, His Majesty missed his mother very much, and specially asked the old slave to accompany his mother, His Majesty said that he did something wrong, so that Niangniang should not worry about it anymore and return to Beijing quickly." ”
