The next day, the two left the inn early and left Kunming City, but fortunately, the soldiers did not make a big deal about chasing them last night, and the officers and soldiers guarding the door did not know.

Through a night's luck, Yaojia's internal injuries are no longer serious, and she can't see the appearance of being injured.

Archie was in a better mood when he saw that she was fine, but he knew that these people would not rest on his laurels, and said, "Ah Jia, let's go back, although there are colorful outside, it is also full of dangers." My martial arts are not good, so I can't protect you. ”

Yaojia said: "It's okay, I can not only protect myself but also you." ”

Archie said: "Come on, if those officers and soldiers hadn't arrived last night, I don't know what would have happened." ”

Yaojia was a little sad and said, "When I find my sister, let them go around without eating." ”

Archie said, "Is that sister of yours really that powerful?"

Yaojia nodded and said, "Of course, there are only a handful of people in the world who have hurt her, and you will know when you see her." ”

Archie sighed lightly and said, "Anyway, don't make trouble anymore, otherwise I don't know how I died." ”

Yaojia walked silently, and the two walked for a while and found that the mountains and forests on both sides had become strange. Everywhere there are towering natural stone pillars, which are connected into forests, which are magical and beautiful.

Archie asked, "Ah Jia, what kind of place is this, why are there stone pillars everywhere?"

Yaojia is also very strange, she has never seen such a scene, as if she has entered a dream world. Suddenly she remembered what it had been like to enter the Netherworld, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly looked around. Seeing the clouds shuttling, the branches shaking, and the birds singing and the insects singing, it is certain that it is the real world. Relieved, he said: "The stone pillar becomes a forest, of course it is called the stone forest!"

Seeing her surprised look, Archie knew that she had never been here, and that the name must have been pronounced out by her confused, and sneered, "According to what you say, then the trees that form a forest are called forests?"

Yaojia asked rhetorically, "What is it called if it's not called a forest?"

Archie thought about it carefully, and really called it the forest, nodded and said, "I've only seen the forest, and it's the first time I've seen the stone forest!"

The two were talking and talking, and saw a group of Yi victims walking here with their clothes torn and their pants torn, some holding tree roots to eat, some picking weeds around, some unable to walk and falling on the side of the road, and some sitting on a stone pillar with dull eyes. Seeing this situation, Yao Jia couldn't help but think of the situation she and Liu Tingting and others encountered outside Caoba Town, and hurriedly stopped the horse.

Seeing her strong reaction, Archie also stopped his horse and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yaojia jumped to the man sitting next to the stone pillar and asked, "Brother, what's going on inside, what's wrong with you?"

The man said weakly: "There has been a plague of insects all year round, and all the food is gone. The disaster grain and disaster silver allocated by the imperial court were eaten by the corrupt officials in the city, and the common people starved to death, and those who died of illness died of illness, hey!"

Yaojia said angrily: "These corrupt officials, they really damn it!" jumped on his horse and rushed forward.

Archie hurriedly chased after her, stopped her and said, "What are you going to do? I can tell you, the previous incident was a bit unbearable, don't make trouble again this time!"

Yaojia ignored him and continued to ride forward, and Archie continued to persuade: "The patriarch said, you have to listen to me when you go out, otherwise don't blame me for telling the truth to the patriarch." ”

Yaojia looked at the victims who had fallen all the way, burst into flames, and said, "Born in such a fairyland, but living such a life. This dog official is too presumptuous, I'm going to kill him. Archie was also helpless, so he had to follow.

A city nestled between the stone pillars slowly appeared in front of you, and the word "Stone Forest" was indeed engraved on the top of the gate!

Yaojia didn't bother to pay attention to what the city was called, and rode into the city. The scenery in the city is beautiful, the fragrance is charming everywhere, the houses are scattered and orderly, the willow branches on both sides of the street are paved with stone slabs, and it is a paradise on earth. On the contrary, the streets were deserted and miserable, like a beautiful abandoned city.

The two walked around two streets before they saw an inn with an open door, called "Xinglong Inn", and they were just about to walk in.

A shopkeeper rushed out to stop him, and said, "Guest officer, guest officer, the shop is not doing business, please go elsewhere." ”

Yaojia was helpless to turn around but heard the sound of laughter and laughter from upstairs, pushed Xiao Er away with one hand, and said, "If you don't do business, how can there be customers upstairs?" and walked into the store.

Xiao Er wanted to come over and stop him, but he was pushed away by Archie and scolded: "Hurry up and serve good wine and food, don't let my young lady go hungry." "Sit down at an empty table with Yaojia.

Xiao Er hurriedly walked over, bowed and begged: "The two guest officers should leave quickly, the above are all rich officials invited by the county order, and we can't afford to offend." ”

When Yaojia heard this, she was angry, and Archie hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Don't you meddle in your business, okay? If there is any more trouble, the patriarch will definitely be very angry." Let's think there's another way, huh?"

Xiao Er begged: "Two, it's not easy to survive all these years, please do well, go to another inn, I beg you?"

Yaojia thought for a moment, turned around and walked out of the inn.

Archie's nervous heart fell, and his mouth read, "Scared to death." As soon as I looked up, I saw that Yaojia had jumped out of the window on the second floor of the inn. Frightened, he didn't shout, he didn't shout, and he jumped up to her, trying to stop her, but she covered his mouth, suggesting that he had better not speak.

Archie saw that she was just trying to eavesdrop, so she nodded.

Yaojia let go of his mouth and leaned her ear close to the window to listen to the people inside.

"Big brother, if you eat one more vote, we will earn enough money in the next life. Haha laughed, and the rest of the people laughed too.

"Frog at the bottom of the well, this few thousand silver, a few hundred loads of grain is nothing. ”

"What other way does Big Brother have to make a fortune?"

"At present, there is an excellent way, not to mention gold and silver treasures, even if you want to be a big official. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I'm afraid you don't have the guts!"

"What's the way?"

"The emperor has a princess who disappeared more than 20 years ago, and now he is ordering all the county princes and ministers to look for her. I heard that even the crown prince and his uncle went into the rivers and lakes to look for it. If we can find the princess first, we can divide the land and seal the marquis, add officials to the knighthood, and prosper forever. ”

"Where is it our turn to do this kind of good thing, the county marquis and ministers from all over the country have already personally started to look for it, and they haven't let their subordinates know about it at all. ”

"That's right, this news is only known to the county lords and ministers in various places, and no one knows about it here. I also happened to hear the news, and now that we know about it, we can find it. If they find it, they will be sent directly to the palace, and they will not know it, and when the upper ones know, they have become our subordinates, and they can bear us!"

"Wonderful, wonderful. But having said that, this princess has been missing for more than twenty years, and who knows if the princess is still alive. Even if you're alive, you don't know what the princess looks like?"

"Since she is a princess, she is naturally as beautiful as a flower, her spirit is pleasant, and her bearing is extraordinary. ”

"I understand, big brother, this is a big deal, we have to bite it. They laughed together.

Yaojia seemed to have thought of some kind of plan when she heard this, jumped off the ground with Archie, and finally found another inn to rest.

Archie asked, "Ajia, let's get out of here, people who are greedy can't care about what we do!"

Yaojia leaned closer to Achillergen and whispered a few words, smiling slightly.

Archie shook his head and said, "No, absolutely not!"

Yao Jia said angrily: "If you love to go, go by yourself, if you don't save you when you die, you can't understand it, I don't bother to pay attention to people like you." He turned and walked to the window, very angry, and ignored Archie.

Archie walked over and said, "We are not Guanyin Bodhisattva, how can we save so much suffering." Besides, this is a great crime of bullying the king, and the Nine Clans will be punished!"

Yaojia said angrily: "What a cowardly person is like a mouse, and he has no righteousness. There are as heroic and domineering as Brother Awang and Sister Aqing. Standing with you, I feel like I've been demoted. ”

Archie had heard Yaojia tell him the story of going into the rivers and lakes with Ah Wang and Ah Qing. He looked down on Ngawang since he was a child, and felt that Ngawang was just a timid and afraid Langzhong. Now hearing her say this, she suddenly blushed with anger and said: "Nonsense, who said that I was as timid as a mouse, who said that I was incapable." Isn't it just to govern and be an official, what is there to be afraid of? He snorted and went out. After a while, he jumped back with two sets of heroic and gorgeous clothes, and said, "Just do as you say, I'll show you what domineering is!" and turned back to his room.

Yaojia smiled and turned to go into the bedroom.

Early the next morning, she changed into the white dress that Archie bought last night, and waited for Archie to come out with a nine-dragon knife in her hand.

Archie changed into the gorgeous kaftan he had brought back last night, dangling a fan in his hand. The two looked at each other and smiled, and walked out of the inn to the mansion.

The guards of the palace saw that the two were about to enter the mansion and stepped forward to stop them.

Without saying a word, Archie knocked the two guards to the ground with two palms, and scolded: "Dog minion, bold." Hurry up and tell your county uncle to get out!"

The two guards saw that the two of them were gorgeously dressed and had an extraordinary bearing, so they didn't dare to say a word, so they ran into the mansion.

After a while, a middle-aged man in an official uniform came to the gate with three officials and looked at Archie and Yaojia.

Archie kicked the county order to the ground in the past and scolded: "What a bold man, he dares to disobey the holy decree and deduct disaster relief money and food. If you let the emperor know that the princess is starving here, your nine or ten clans will not be enough to cut it!"

After the county commander was shocked, he asked blankly, "Dare to ask who the two are?"

Archie took out a large gold token from his bosom and held it high, and said angrily, "Open your dog's eyes and see clearly, what is this?"

The county magistrate saw that the huge gold token was engraved with the words "Princess Dali", and he fell to the ground in fright. glanced at Yaojia carefully, and sure enough, she felt that Yaojia was as beautiful as a flower, extraordinary in bearing, and full of majesty. Seeing such a large gold token is not two catties but also one catty, ordinary people have no ability to carry it around. Thinking about it, he kowtowed again and again: "The villain has no eyes, but he doesn't know that the princess has arrived, and he has missed the distance! ”

Archie scolded: "Dog slave, the princess has been used to wandering the rivers and lakes since she was a child, how can she get used to the life of the palace." That's why I came here to settle down, and for more than a year, the insects and insects have no harvest, and I am so hungry that I am so hungry. I really can't get used to seeing you, a corrupt official, withholding disaster relief money and food, so I have to show your identity so that you can reflect on yourself. If she dares to do this again, the princess will definitely go back to the palace in person to report the truth to the emperor, and wait for death. ”
