"Adjutant General, why are you confused? I understand your kindness, but the matter has come to this point, there is no room for reversal, I have to go. Lime said, "With all due respect, the emperor has always been afraid of the power of the regent, and Xu Yong is the uncle of the second prince, and the emperor married Xu Yong's daughter to the prince, which is intended to win over and monitor the prince and weaken the power of the regent. Once Xu Ziyue marries into the General's Mansion, the son's every move will be restrained. If the emperor attacks the regent in the future, won't the prince be in a dilemma. The regent could not clearly resist the decree, so he could only excuse himself and say that he could not call the shots, and put himself out of the matter. Childe is not here, you and I must resist the pressure, and we must not trap Childe in injustice! ”

Listening to the girl's words, Xiyang was deeply ashamed, he had followed the general for many years, but he didn't think of the stakes. Qiu Xiyang suddenly realized and nodded yes.

"The deputy general doesn't have to worry about Lime, although Lime is not good at martial arts, he grew up in the mountains since he was a child, and it is not difficult to survive in the mountains for a few days." Lime said, "And the emperor has also ordered that the area of the competition is set on the periphery of the hunting ground, and the wild beasts are not often infested, so it is safer." ”

"Even so, I'm not reassured. This hunting ground is a dense alpine forest that has never been explored, and it is only set foot in early autumn every year. I heard the general say that there are many kinds of birds and beasts there, so there is no shortage of food, but the mosquitoes, snakes and ants are very annoying, and there are many poisons, so you need to be more careful. Qiu Xi said, "But the most dangerous thing is the release of hungry tigers and hungry wolves, all of them are extremely fierce, especially the wolves, they fight in unity, they are very cunning, once they are targeted, it is difficult to survive." ”

"Well, I'll take notice." Lime nodded, "Is there a topographic map of the hunting ground?" ”

"This hunting ground has not been explored, so there is no complete topographic map, only a simple map drawn by the general with the experience of several hunting." Qiu Xiyang said, "I'll go to the general's tent and find the girl." ”

"Okay, there's Deputy General Lao." Lime nodded.

In the early morning of the second day, Lime was dressed in a green coat, with only a water bag hanging around her waist and a dagger tied to her leg. But Xu Ziyue carried a huge package, and after the two drank Zhuangxing wine, they rode on a fast horse and rushed to the hunting ground thirty miles away.

After entering the hunting ground, Lime found a shortcut to Longchi Peak according to the map drawn by Qiu Chulin, and quickly hurried while observing the surrounding movements.

This hunting ground is very vast, and if you want to find someone, it is like looking for a needle in the bottom of the sea.

However, the bitter dragon mushroom growing on the top of Longchi Peak is the ultimate goal of everyone who enters the hunting ground, and although everyone is scattered and acts separately, they all end up in the same place, and they will eventually gather to Longchi Peak.

Lime was lucky, and after passing through the perimeter, he walked all day without encountering a beast.

As the sky grew dark, Lime hit a little beast and filled his hunger with the dry food he carried, and found a stream of water according to the map, and after replenishing the water source, Lime found an old tree that was enough to cover his body, and leaned on the branches and slept shallowly.

Before leaving, Lime soaked her clothes in a mixture of powder, which repelled insects and ants and masked the smell, saving Lime a lot of trouble.

The night was fine, and on the morning of the third day, before the sun had risen, Lime suddenly woke up in a sudden feeling of suffocation, and when she opened her eyes, she couldn't help but stand upside down.

A cyan python wrapped its neck around her and pointed its head right at her, sticking out its black tongue at her.

The snake's body slowly tightened, and the suffocating sensation became heavier and heavier, and Lime quickly raised her legs, pulled out the dagger tied to her leg, and stabbed it hard into the snake body wrapped around her neck.

The snake screamed in pain, and then quickly tightened its body.

The suffocation instantly aggravated a few points, Lime was a little top-heavy for a while, she settled down, held the snake body with one hand, and wanted to cut off the snake with a dagger with the other, but the snake was very clever, took advantage of the situation to wrap around Lime's arm, opened its bloody mouth, and bit Lime on the shoulder, but finally lost the wind and was cut in half by Lime with a knife.

Lime threw the half of the snake around his neck under the tree, stretched, took out the map to find the way, and set off on his journey, this ghost place is really strange, even bamboo leaves can grow so big. Lime walked for another half day, and beheaded a flower python and a wounded tiger in succession.

The closer you get to the depths of the forest, the more oppressive the atmosphere becomes, and the lime walks for a day and night, and there are no traces of human activity, and it seems that there are not many people who know this shortcut.

It wasn't until noon on the fourth day, when Lime was walking in the direction of Longchi Peak, that he finally heard some fighting. The source of the sound was not far ahead, and Lime ducked into the woods, cautiously approaching the source of the sound.

"Second prince, why did you stop the two of us?" Liu Xiong and Wei Zijie were both very embarrassed at the moment, their clothes were tattered, and there were blood stains everywhere, while Wei Zijie actually lost an arm and was supported by Liu Xiong, very weak.

"What about Qiu Chulin?" Hongxia Yike was not very embarrassed, but there was only one person left beside him, who had suffered several injuries and was pointing his sword at Liu Xiong and Wei Zijie.

"We encountered wolves yesterday and have been separated since then, and Zijie lost an arm because of it." Liu Xiong said, "Second prince, let's go." I took Zijie and left the hunting ground immediately. ”

"Wolves? If you two encounter a pack of wolves, can you two escape? Hongxia Yike obviously didn't believe it, and he said sharply, "Don't try to deceive this prince!" Say! Where is Qiu Chulin? ”

"Second prince, what I said is true, we did encounter a pack of wolves, it was the enemy brother who sacrificed himself to lead away the wolves, and the two of us picked up a life." Liu Xiong said.

"Hahaha......" Hongxia Yike's eyes lingered on the two of them for a while, and he saw that there were many traces of being scratched and bitten, and he laughed loudly, "If Qiu Chulin fights with the wolves alone, he will either die or be disabled." If you two want to leave the hunting ground, then let's go, but if this prince sees you again in this hunting ground, don't blame this prince for being ruthless! ”

"Thank you Second Prince, please rest assured, the two of us will leave immediately." Liu Xiong gave a salute and hurriedly helped Wei Zijie to leave.

Hongxia Yike was just about to leave, but he saw a dagger flying from nowhere, straight to the door of Hongxia Yike's face, Hongxia Yike was startled, and when he was about to shoot, he pulled the man next to him to block in front of him, and the dagger stabbed straight into the back of the man's heart, and the man died on the spot.

Hongxia Yike tossed the man aside, as if he were discarding a disgusting piece of garbage. Lime frowned, the indescribable taste in her heart, is this person's heart so ruthless?

"Qiu Chulin, I didn't expect you to come back after encountering wolves, but today, you can't leave!" Hongxia Yike sneered.

Qiu Chulin's face was a little pale, his black hair was messy, the wound on his left shoulder was broken, his clothes were stained with large bloodstains, and there were several scratches on his body that were exposed, bright red and dazzling.

"Second prince, I remember that's what you said on Muman Mountain, but don't I still live well?" Qiu Chulin pulled out the sword at his waist, and the blade of the sword pointed at Hongxia Yike, "If it weren't for someone in Mu Manshan secretly helping you, you would have been my soul under the sword, and look at today, can someone save you?" ”

Without waiting for Hongxia Yike to speak, Qiu Chulin had already drawn his sword and approached, Hongxia Yike dodged left and right, and finally found a gap and pulled out his sword, and fought with Qiu Chulin.

Qiu Chulin only got out of the wolves not long ago, and consumed most of his physical strength, and at this time, Hongxia Yike fought to a draw with him, and he couldn't distinguish between the top and bottom for a long time.

After about a stick of incense, Qiu Chulin's physical exertion was too great, and he gradually fell behind, Hongxia Yike became more and more courageous, discovered Qiu Chulin's weakness, and only attacked his left shoulder that was injured in Muman Mountain and bitten by a wolf.

Qiu Chulin missed again and again, and was exploited by Hongxia Yike, and his injuries were much worse. Hongxia Yike secretly slapped him on the chest with a sneak attack, and he took a few steps back and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Hongxia Yike didn't give him a chance to breathe, swung his sword and slashed at him, and just as the blade was about to cut through his throat, two stones shot out of the dense forest at the same time.

One hit Hongxia Yike's sword-holding hand, and his wrist instantly suffered from severe pain, making Hongxia Yike no longer able to hold the hilt of the sword, and the other missed the sword blade that was close at hand, knocking the sword to the ground.

Qiu Chulin took the opportunity to quickly enter the dense forest and fled in it. Hongxia Yike was about to chase after him, but he was hit in the knee by a stone, and he fell to his knees unexpectedly, shouting angrily, "Who is it!" Get out of here for this prince! ”

Seeing that Qiu Chulin had already walked away, Lime put down the remaining stones in his hand and turned around and hid in the dense forest.

Since the fourth day, the lime has been lurking around Hongxia Yike.

Hongxia Yike joined several princes of the family who came in with him, and tried his best to persuade these people who were originally going to leave the hunting ground to stay with him to fetch Kulongzhi, and then rush to Longchi Peak together.

During this period, he also met Qiu Chulin unexpectedly, although Qiu Chulin was injured, he was able to escape under the siege of Hongxia Yike and several people.

Today is the sixth day, since Qiu Chulin entered the mountain this morning, Hongxia Yike took these people to ambush them on the road at the foot of Longchi Peak Mountain, wanting to sneak attack and seize the treasure on the way down the mountain after Qiu Chulin got the bitter Longzhi.

And now, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and midnight is approaching, and they have been squatting for a whole day, but they have not seen Qiu Chulin's figure.

When the lime woke up, the night faded and the sun was about to rise, and the whole mountain seemed to be covered with a mist, hazy and faint.

The men who had been lying in ambush in the shadows were sleeping soundly, and the night watchman could not help but fall asleep.

Lime straightened her back, took a sip of water, and cheered up. Hongxia Yike and a few people worked hard until midnight to no avail, this is the time of sleepiness, Qiu Chulin should go down the mountain.

Lime expected it to be good, and after a few moments, a vague figure appeared in the distance, gradually approaching, and the figure paused for a moment not far away, and only after making sure that the men were asleep did he carefully pass through the road.

Halfway through, the night watchman suddenly woke up, and when he saw Qiu Chulin, he was first shocked, and then immediately shouted a few times to wake up his companions. Surrounded by these sleepy people, Qiu Chulin quickly made a move and knocked these people to the ground before they could come to their senses.

"In the last battle, don't drag the mud and water, and make a quick decision." Qiu Chulin said, he had already drawn his sword to attack Hong Xia Yike, his moves were sharp, without reservation, and each sword went straight to the point.
