126. Into the forest
The night's birthday banquet ended almost dramatically, everyone went home, Mu Aotian was about to return to the guest room to rest with a sleepy face, but saw a sneaky Bailida thief following her, as if he wanted to follow her into the house.
"Do what?" Mu Aotian raised his eyebrows, stopped the door with one hand, and looked at Bailida with a smile.
"Hey, hey, hey," Bailida smiled stupidly, looked left and right like a thief, and then cautiously stepped forward, muttered in a low voice: "Come in quickly, it's definitely a good thing!" ”
Meddlesome?
Mu Aotian suddenly remembered the time when Shicai Bailida entered the palace and left, and saw his appearance at the moment, he was curious, but his face was not obvious, and he said impatiently: "Tell me something quickly, go back to the house and sleep when you finish speaking." With that, he took the lead in the house and sat on a chair waiting for Bailida to report the so-called 'good things'.
Bailida hurriedly entered the house, closed the door, and came up with a happy look, "You must not have expected it, I originally wanted to wander around the palace to enjoy the light, but I didn't know that when I walked to the queen's middle palace, I heard two palace maids whispering there." I listened to it with a twist, but it scared me! ”
In other words, he made a frightened appearance, and the image was vivid and very interesting.
The next second, he put on a mysterious look again, "Guess what I heard?" A pair of curved eyebrows and eyes looked at Mu Aotian as if to say: Guess, guess!
Mu Aotian tugged at the corners of his mouth and couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Do you want to say it?" "In the middle of the night, do you really think time is such a waste?
Bailida was not in a hurry, he poured himself a glass of cold water for himself, poured it into his stomach, smacked his lips, and continued unsatisfactorily: "I heard them mention you!" ”
"Me?" Mu Aotian was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but sit up, how could a queen's palace maid who was so dignified mention her inexplicably? Where did you know about her existence? An inexplicable sense of crisis arose.
"yes!" "I listened vaguely, as if the princess had something to say to you, and told the queen." I don't know where the queen heard that you will enter the palace for a banquet tonight, so she intends to match and let the emperor marry you and the unruly princess! "The queen doesn't look at what kind of character her daughter is, she is rude and willful and wants to be matched with their famous martial arts master, isn't it a joke?!
It seemed that because of the disbelief he heard, Mu Aotian plucked his ears and was a little dumbfounded, "Are you sure you heard it right?!" "How can she say that she is also a mother, and she is not one of those guys with special fetishes who marry a princess? Isn't this letting the two yellow flower girls be nuns for life!
"I'm also a well-known know-it-all in the rivers and lakes, how could I hear it wrong!" Bailida frowned a little dissatisfied with being questioned, and then said with a gloating expression, "Fortunately, that queen is weak in other means except for her charming means, and you have a quick response, otherwise I really wouldn't know how to watch a good show in the rivers and lakes and the court!" "If it really develops like that, I don't know if the dignified martial arts lord will really marry a barbaric princess, this remains to be scrutinized.
Naturally, he didn't know that this powerful martial arts master would be a slender woman in his bones, not the handsome young man in front of him.
Mu Aotian also breathed a sigh of relief, thanks to the fact that he broke the queen's good deeds in time, otherwise this good thing would have become her funeral, so how should she deal with it?!
It's just that when he turned to see the guy on the other side who was taking a sip of a glass of water, his phoenix eyes narrowed, and the danger signal suddenly flew out.
"So, it's all right?"
Bailida was a little hairy by those unusually sharp eyes, trembled, put down the teacup in his hand with a smile, straightened up, and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay, you should rest early, the little one will leave non-stop!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the man spread his legs and ran out quickly, and he didn't forget to close the door before leaving, and he still had a little conscience.
She didn't pay much attention to the role of the little minion of the Queen of the West Neighbor, and soon left this bad person behind. I took off my coat, put out the candle and fell asleep, and my mind was full of excitement about going to the Forest of Life and Death tomorrow.
The next day, as soon as the sky was slightly hazy, Mu Aotian got up early, packed his bags and rushed to the outside of the house.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the mansion, he saw Shang Zixu, who was dressed in white, standing next to a carriage, and when he saw her coming, he smiled and said softly: "I thought you would sleep until the sun rises." The relaxed words seemed to be an extremely familiar friend, which made Mu Aotian feel a little uncomfortable inexplicably.
"After all, I asked the prince for help in this matter, so why don't I miss the appointment first." Mu Aotian smiled and threw the luggage into the arms of Bailida, who looked sleepy.
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, then got into the carriage and hurried to the direction of the Forest of Life and Death.
Because the Forest of Life and Death was located far away from the Imperial City, passing through several simple mountains, forests, streams and rivers, it was not until the sun set that the bumpy carriage stopped outside a heavily guarded forest.
"Ouch hey, my ass......" Bailida's delicate face wrinkled at the moment, and he touched his sore and numb buttocks in agony, and yelled miserably.
"If you sit quietly, why is it so?" Mu Aotian couldn't help but roll his eyes, in the past, he didn't see this guy crying and grabbing the ground when he traveled far away, but now he saw the rich and novel furnishings in this carriage, and dangled excitedly, how could it be good?
Hearing this, Bailida closed his mouth stupidly, so as not to touch the master's brow, and it was too late to cry.
"There are many dangers in the forest, and I am afraid that there will be a shock, so I and the Lord can go there, and the little brother of Baili should camp here and wait." Shang Zixu looked at the attendants who were sent to negotiate with the Praetorian Guard, looked at the forest of life and death in Hessesen, and said his plan.
As soon as he heard that he was going to leave himself, Bailida immediately turned his attention to Mu Aotian, Nan Ye was not here, he was sent to deal with affairs, and before leaving, he also told him to follow Mu Aotian closely and protect him at all times, which he also swore that he would do.
Why are you going to leave him behind now, what kind of protection is this?!
Mu Aotian was also stunned, pondered for a while, thinking that this trip was indeed an unknown number, if Bailida was put outside, it would be good to have a response, if something really happened, everything would be passed on by Bailida, and Nanye could also handle the matter very well.
He didn't object at the moment, and nodded: "You stay, if I haven't come out in half a month, you will go back to meet Nanye." ”
Looking at Mu Aotian's unchanging face, Bailida knew that he couldn't dissuade this decision, so he had to say helplessly: "Just listen to you." "But in my heart, I was thinking that the South China Sea Guanshi should be like a Buddha, bless this master to return safely, otherwise the cold zombie face of Nanye may not be able to do anything with him!
