Chapter 183: Lost in the Forest
The cold moonlight shrouded the Zhaoqing Palace, Concubine Xiao Shufei sat in front of the bronze mirror with a haggard face, the moonlight shone on her charming cheeks through the window, and the charcoal fire in the room brought a trace of warmth. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Niangniang, according to the spies, Zhu Mingyang appeared in Luoqi City, and it seems that he also saw the Tubo Great Discussion of Lu Dongzan!" Chen Liang said respectfully.
"Lu Dongzan? But the Lu Dongzan who married Princess Wencheng? Concubine Xiao asked expressionlessly.
"Exactly." Chen Liang replied.
"Hmph, no one can save him! The Garqin Mausoleum disappeared in his hands, and with my understanding of those warmongers in Tibet, they can just use this excuse to wage war against my Tang Dynasty, and when the time comes, I am afraid that Your Majesty will have to sacrifice him alone in exchange for peace. Concubine Xiao said contemptuously.
"It's just that now it is rumored throughout Tibet that someone surnamed Zhu will appear in Shibao City." Chen Liang added.
"It's better if he never returns to Datang, even if he stays in Tubo, we know that Ruo Duobu will also help us get rid of him. It just so happens that I can fight with Wu Meiniang's slut with my heart, just to make sure that Yang Rui knows what to do! Concubine Xiao suddenly twisted her head to Yang Rui next to her.
"Don't worry, I will personally go to Tubo and secretly help Zan Xi Ruoduobu to subdue the surname Zhu." Yang Rui's face flashed with a hint of confidence.
"Well, be careful on the road. This is my correspondence with the Great Tribute, and you can use it as a proof of meeting. Concubine Xiao Shufei handed over a letter to Yang Rui.
"Take care!" After Yang Rui finished speaking, he and Chen Liang disappeared into the night.
The cold wind is howling, and the weather on this plateau is really unpredictable, yesterday it was still sunny and gloomy today. The sky was gray and there was not a trace of color. Zhu Mingyang felt a strong sense of depression, and the whole person was confused.
Zhu Mingyang cheered up and turned his head to look, everyone looked listless, even Xu Yue'er and Gao Yanyan, who talked a lot on weekdays, fell into silence, except for a few occasional gasps of horses, the entire official road was unusually calm.
"Yue'er, are you feeling better?" Zhu Mingyang tried to talk.
"Hmm! I still feel dizzy! Xu Yue'er said weakly.
Xu Yue'er was originally a martial arts practitioner, and her body should be very strong, but now she looks like she has just recovered from a serious illness, and Zhu Mingyang feels very strange.
"Husband, I also feel a little dizzy!" Cuicui said with all the strength of her body.
Zhu Mingyang looked at Cuicui carefully, but saw that Cuicui's face was also pale, and a few beads of crystal sweat hung on her forehead.
"How so? Are you all okay? Zhu Mingyang asked the others.
"Childe, I just feel like a big stone is hanging in my heart!" Li Chunfeng said with a frown.
"So do I, sir!" Gao Yanyan looked at Li Chunfeng and said.
"It may be that everyone has been walking for a long time and is just tired, so mark the village in front of you according to the map, let's speed up!" Marber suddenly picked up the map and looked at it carefully.
"I think there's something wrong with this wood, let's hurry up and walk to this wood!" Li Cheng said vigilantly.
"Okay, everybody, hurry up and get out of this wood!" Zhu Mingyang encouraged everyone.
I don't know how long I walked, there are still gloomy ancient trees on both sides of the official road, the whistling north wind blows the leaves and rattles, giving people a melancholy feeling, the most terrible thing is that the official road is getting narrower and narrower, and in the end there is only a very narrow path, there are some weeds growing on the path, but in this season the weeds become yellow and form a strong contrast with the green trees on both sides.
Zhu Mingyang drove the horse to explore the road, and while thinking about it, he was a little skeptical that Ma Bo really knew the road, and whether he had led the wrong way. However, since he was so familiar with Tibet, he should not lead the wrong way. Moreover, now that Lu Dongzan's son has become the target of the Bon cult, he should be in a hurry and will not send an unreliable person to be his guide.
Zhu Mingyang's heart was very confused, and this forest that he couldn't walk took, Zhu Mingyang was even more anxious, I don't know how long he walked, he suddenly found that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.
"Huh?" Suddenly, Li Cheng jumped off his horse and walked towards an ancient tree.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Mingyang jumped off his horse and approached Li Cheng and asked.
"No, it's still not right!" Li Cheng frowned.
"Childe, what's going on!" At this time, everyone came together.
Li Cheng did not answer Zhu Mingyang, but walked straight to the back of the tree, and everyone followed. Behind the tree was a burnt fire, the ashes of which fluttered in the wind.
"How so?" Zhu Mingyang was shocked.
Zhu Mingyang looked along the ashes of the fire, but saw that there was still horse feces left next to the fire, which was clearly the place where everyone rested last night, and Zhu Mingyang clearly remembered that last night's horse was tied to the ancient tree next to the fire.
Everyone was surprised to see that they had walked back to their original place after walking for most of the day, and even Li Chunfeng, who was very knowledgeable, had never seen such a strange phenomenon.
"Didn't we come to the legendary 'Horse Doesn't Know'?" Suddenly, a hint of fear appeared on Marber's face.
"Don't you know the horse?" Zhu Mingyang asked suspiciously.
"Gongzi doesn't know, there is such a forest in my Tubo, as long as people enter this wood, they will never be able to come out, even if some caravans with horses strayed into this woods, they can't get out, it stands to reason that horses have a stronger sense of orientation than people, even if people get lost, horses will not get lost, so we Tubo people call this forest horses don't know!" Marber explained.
"So what to do? Are we really going to be trapped in this wood? Xu Yue'er shouted loudly.
Maybe it was the events of last night that made Xu Yue'er not completely wake up from the nightmare, or maybe this forest was too depressing, but Xu Yue'er's spirit was becoming more and more abnormal.
"Yue'er, calm down, and me, I will definitely take you out!" After Zhu Mingyang finished speaking, he hugged Xu Yue'er into his arms, and this trick really worked, and after a while, Xu Yue'er quieted down.
"I don't know this horse, I've heard of it in the book, and when I hear about the people who go in, I don't want to think of it, I always thought it was nonsense, but I didn't expect that we would meet today." Li Cheng said slowly.
"I didn't expect you to read a lot, not only can you cure Yue'er's illness, but you also understand that you don't know the horse, I always thought you were just a hairy boy, you can only fight and kill!" Zhu Mingyang smiled and said.
"I said when are you guys, you two are still talking and laughing!" Gao Yanyan suddenly walked over and glared at the two.
"We are heroes who cherish each other, and Fangzheng can't go out, so it's better to put your heart at ease." Zhu Mingyang said slowly.
"Husband, what Sister Yanyan said is, let's hurry up and find a way to get out of this forest!" Cuicui walked over and said softly.
"Miss Cuicui, I guess Childe has already found a way to get out of this wood, otherwise Childe wouldn't be so confident!" Li Chunfeng looked at Zhu Mingyang and said.
"I really didn't do it this time! Don't look at me like that! Zhu Mingyang's face became serious.
Seeing that Zhu Mingyang's always confident face was so serious, everyone's hearts were cold...... (To be continued.) )
