Hearing Sheng Changning's words, Zuo Yan lifted his eyes slightly, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He really didn't know that this Princess Fengning was like this...... Sharp teeth, oh no, can speak.

However, in the face of her menacing questioning, Zuo Yan opened his mouth, wanting to explain something, but still did not say a word.

- He has never been a person who likes to explain, and if others say to him, if he can't understand or perceive it, he is full of indifferent emotions and never explains his words and deeds.

But、But...... The person in front of him is the person who Childe loves like a treasure, the person who can risk his life to protect him, and the person who Childe can't rest assured of thousands of instructions, and even the only weapon to hurt Childe in the back......

Zuo Yan originally wanted to explain to Sheng Changning, but the more he thought about it, his thoughts became thousands, and he slowly deviated from his original thoughts.

Seeing that he was dumbfounded, even if she waited for a long time, Zuo Yan couldn't explain a word, so Sheng Changning raised his noble hand and let him go.

She said: "Okay, okay, the left guard came upstairs, won't it just be to talk about this bunch with the palace?" ”

Hearing this, Zuo Nan came back to his senses, and then he remembered what he came here for, so he hurriedly took out the topographic map in his arms.

This elaborate map of the journey from south to north was the only one he had bought from a southern merchant with great difficulty.

But seeing that the route above was marked in great detail, he gritted his teeth and bought it again.

It really cost a lot of silver taels to buy this picture, this money is outside his budget, and the original silver money has been planned by him, but now he is suddenly tight.

So when he came to the inn yesterday, he hinted to this Sheng Changning, telling her that it was best to accept her temperament and not to buy anything valuable.

Fortunately, everything was as he wished, Sheng Changning was tired, even though Qiu Cheng was full of flowers and lively at night, she didn't want to go down to join in the excitement.

"Princess, look."

Zuo Nan spread out the finely drawn topographic map and placed it in front of the desk, and the others took a few steps back to the side, so that Sheng Changning could see more clearly.

Zuo Nan's finger pointed at the place of Qiu Cheng, and then the next moment he followed the trajectory on the map, and drew forward, his voice was indifferent: "After Qiu City, the front is the boundary of Feng City, but there is a jungle between the two cities. ”

Woods.

Ever since he came out of that strange dense forest, Sheng Changning now feels that his scalp is numb when he hears about a place like the woods.

"What happened to the woods?"

Slowing down his nerves, Sheng Changning tried his best to ask patiently, is it already in such a prosperous realm, is it not as evil as this forest is like the dense forest in the north?

Hearing Sheng Changning's question, Zuo Yan knew that this princess had not only never been here, but had never even heard of the situation in this realm.

"This forest."

Zuo Nan said calmly, and for the first time, there was a trace of fluctuating emotions in his voice: "Called as a coffin forest by the people of Qiu Cheng and Feng City." ”

"Coffin?" Sheng Changning bit those two words and repeated them gently, only to feel that the name seemed to be a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere......

"The reason why the coffin forest is named by the local people is that there are coffin trees growing in this forest."

Zuo Nan continued in a low voice.

After listening to what he said, Sheng Changning's pupils suddenly widened.

Coffin tree?!

Yes, she said, why the name of the forest was so familiar to her.

In the past, she loved to read small chronicles from all over the world, mostly books written by tourists from Dachu or other countries, usually remembering the local customs and folklore, and there were some strange scenes.

Now, as soon as Zuo Nan mentions the word coffin tree, she can still remember it.

This kind of tree blooms every ten years, bears fruit every ten years, and the coffin tree after fruiting has the most tough trunk and is a good material for building houses.

But in Dachu, almost no one dares to cut down trees, just because the fruit of the coffin tree is not only not edible, but if it is cut open, it only touches the human body a little, and the skin will be red and burned, and the skin will be festered to the skin.

Sheng Changning saw in the book that when this kind of tree first arrived in Dachu, many people didn't know that this fruit was so dangerous, and many people died because of it.

The season when the coffin tree bears fruit is exactly summer.

Thinking of this, Sheng Changning's face was no longer good-looking, she frowned, and asked again, "This year...... Could it be the ten-year period when the coffin tree bears fruit? ”

Isn't it so unfortunate?

Under Sheng Changning's expectant gaze, Zuo Yan stared at his face and nodded slowly.

Sheng Changning's heart fell to the bottom with a heavy heart.

She lowered her eyes again to look at the topographic map, and the group of them had now arrived in Qiucheng, and the path to the four directions was in all directions, but the only way to the south could only go forward, passing by the coffin forest.

"If it's a detour......"

Sheng Changning stared at it, her fingertips tilted towards the road next to Qiu Cheng, thinking carefully.

Seeing that although she still looked quite shocked, she still didn't forget to quickly find a solution, Zuo Nan's eyes showed a hint of appreciation.

"My subordinates have already sent someone to investigate, and the coffin tree in the coffin forest is about to bear fruit, and a Nanshang risked passing through the forest, and unfortunately he was hit on the head by the half-ripe fruit, and he was killed on the spot......"

Zuo Yan paused for a moment, then picked up his words and continued: "Therefore, after the death of that Nan Shang himself, no one dared to venture into the forest again, and now the southern merchants in Qiu City are nearly half less than last year. ”

"Nearly half?" Sheng Changning keenly grasped the point of his words, "Can you go to other roads to Jiangnan?" ”

"Yes."

Zuo Nan nodded, "It's just that it's not in this topographic map, so this morning, my subordinates found those Nanshang who can draw maps and redrew a map, but it will have to be sent over tomorrow." ”

Sheng Changning was relieved at this time, she smiled, and couldn't say anything else for a while, so she praised and said, "The left guard is really as delicate as a hair." ”

As if remembering something again, Sheng Changning hurriedly folded the map on the table again, revealing the paper rolled into a small roll underneath.

"Guard, I have to ask you for one more thing."

There was no envelope here, Sheng Changning had no choice but to fold the letter like this, she handed it to Zuo Nan, and said, "I think you must have a way to contact your son?" And bother you to give him this, here are some of the things I want to ask. ”
