After bidding farewell to the Yonghuai Palace, Sheng Changning did not see Sheng Changqiong's husband until he left.

Jiangbei is freezing cold, and Sheng Changqiong doesn't know whether she still cares about Sheng Changning's life-saving grace to her, or whether she feels that she has been with her for these days, and she has a heart-to-heart relationship with Sheng Changning.

In short, the objects that Aoyagi placed for them were everything from deerskin boots to warm feet and blankets.

Riding in the carriage and watching the palace standing at the foot of the mountain gradually move away, Sheng Changning gently lowered the curtain of the carriage, and the cold wind that originally slapped on his cheeks disappeared.

Seeing that she was finally willing to sit down, Bai Lu hurriedly laid out a topographical map for her, "Princess, are we going to Wutu City?" ”

Sheng Changning lowered his eyes and looked at the map carefully, his slender fingertips swiped slightly, and he stayed in one place, "No, don't go to Wutu City." ”

Doctor Zhang said earlier that Wuyan Flower grows in the dense forest in the extremely cold place of the Northland, but judging from this map, if you want to reach the dense forest quickly, it is the fastest way to go straight through Wutu City.

Can...... It's not like she's unaware. How many people have tried to take this black face flower, and they have not used any method, but they have not even seen the face of the forest, and they are directly folded on the way.

This doesn't mean that either these roads to the dense forest are strange, or someone is secretly guarding the forest. According to the previous convention, the former is more likely to be larger.

"Ah......" After listening to Sheng Changning's explanation, Lixia immediately became very worried, "Then what should I do?" It's not that if you don't see the flowers, people will ......"

"Lixia!" Female Officer Mo snorted lightly and rebuked Lixia's words.

Sheng Changning closed the map with a light expression, "The matter of picking Wuyan flowers is my own opinion, and it should have nothing to do with you, if any of you want to leave, you can leave now." ”

Seeing that they were silent, Sheng Changning said again: "This road should be extremely difficult, if you are willing to quit now, I naturally have no reason not to agree, otherwise, don't blame me if you lose your life at that time." ”

"Princess!" This time it was Lady Mo who spoke out, "Since the slaves and maids go out of the palace with you, they will not easily abandon you, and in the future, don't say such things again." ”

Bai Lu and Lixia also said in unison: "The slave is willing to serve the princess all the time......"

Hearing this, Sheng Changning didn't say more, she reopened the map, and her fingertips fell on the area she was pointing at again.

Bai Lu lowered her head to look, but after seeing the terrain trend clearly, her eyes showed suspicion, "Princess, we are going to ...... Fufeng City? ”

Sheng Changning bowed his head slightly, to show that he was correct.

From what she had learned about the jungle before, most of those who never came out alive had a striking feature—the path they chose when they entered the forest was either easy to walk or much shorter.

Although Fufeng City is not far from the dense forest, it is better because the road leading to the city is bumpy, and there are even several endless mountains in between, which makes this area inaccessible and very desolate.

For ordinary people who go to pick black flowers, the first thing to rule out is this road.

The ancient book Zeng Yun, if you go the other way, you will have unexpected gains, maybe the road to Fufeng City will be a little smoother than imagined......

"This ......"

Bai Lu looked at the map carefully again, and determined that the road in Fufeng City that Sheng Changning pointed to was the farthest and most difficult.

"Don't doubt it, Lixia, you go and show the map to the coachman outside, and tell him that we will go to Fufeng City."

Lixia answered, and then lifted the curtain and went out.

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Bai Lu and Lady Mo naturally couldn't say anything more, they all remained silent, and the carriage was much quieter.

Lifting the curtain by the window, the feel of the silk cloth was a little rough, rubbing between Sheng Changning's fingertips, bringing a slight pain. The wind outside was getting weaker, and the snow and frost that rose with the wind took advantage of the gap between her lifting the curtain and scrambled to crowd in, Sheng Changning's wrist moved slightly, and the curtain fell back into place.

When the silk cloth fell, there was no loud sound with the carriage, but Sheng Changning's heart was inexplicably panged, and he ...... It was as if she heard the neighing of horses.

From far to near, it doesn't seem to be the sound of the horse driven by the coachman outside.

Sheng Changning was about to say something to Bai Lu and Female Officer Mo, when suddenly, his body leaned forward uncontrollably, "Princess! Behind him, there was a panicked exclamation.

The fingertips were firmly clasped on the edge of the window, stabilizing his figure, and Sheng Changning did not roll to the ground because of this movement.

Bai Lu hurriedly came to support her, her face was extremely worried, "Princess, are you in trouble?" ”

The fingertips that had just exerted his strength ached faintly, Sheng Changning suppressed his voice, and gently shook his head to indicate that he was fine.

At this time, the carriage had stopped, and there seemed to be a slight exclamation from Lixia outside, Bai Lu's heart suddenly rose to her throat, and she held Sheng Changning's hand unconsciously, and her voice trembled, "Gong, princess...... Isn't it a bandit? ”

Sheng Changning frowned slightly, "It's not quite like that." ”

Indeed, the land of Jiangbei is surrounded by mountains, because it is located on the border, and the climate is much worse than ordinary places, so the jurisdiction of the imperial court here is naturally much relaxed.

She heard Sheng Changqiong say that except for the area around the Yonghuai Palace, the rest of the places were rampant with mountain bandits.

And these mountain bandits are quite arrogant and presumptuous, when robbing passing merchants, they will push large stones and roll down from the front of the mountain, first smash the horses and coachmen, and then rob money and beauties, their behavior is so bad that there is no caravan in this Jiangbei anymore.

Stopping the carriage like this, and still talking outside, doesn't look like the way of those bandits.

Sheng Changning thought like this, but he couldn't think of anyone else who would come to find her in such a deserted place.

"Princess ......"

Lixia came in from outside in the wind and snow, her little face was red from the cold, but there was no panic on her face, "There is a son outside, who said that he asked to see you......"

The people who breathed a sigh of relief were none other than Bai Lu and Lady Mo, listening to the person outside, he actually knew that if Lixia came in to spread the word, it must be a serious son.

Thinking of this, Bai Lu hurriedly turned out a rabbit fur coat for Sheng Changning and draped it on her shoulders, "Princess, the slave maid will go out with you." ”

Sheng Changning nodded and did not refuse again.

Bai Lu lifted the curtain for her first, and watched the princess go out with her head down, and she followed behind to help people.

The carriage was dyed with wind and snow, and soon it was cold into a smooth ice edge, standing on it was quite unsettling, Sheng Changning cautiously got off the carriage, and before he looked up to see people, he heard a familiar voice.
