Chapter 287: The Ghost Hits the Wall
The corners of Prince Dawu's mouth hooked a faint arc, he looked at the surrounding environment, and said disdainfully, "Maybe the villagers there don't like to go up the mountain, or rather, there is something on this mountain that makes them jealous." ”
The commander of the escort was writing a letter on the side, and when he heard the words of the Great Martial Prince, he immediately raised his head vigilantly and asked, "Your Highness, what do you mean by this, are there jackals, tigers, leopards and other fierce beasts on this mountain?" ”
The Great Martial Prince pursed his lips, he stood on a big stone on the side of the road, straightened his waist, and squinted his eyes towards the mountain and looked very carefully.
The guards and commanders on the side were all very curious to observe in the direction that the Great Martial Prince was looking at, and asked in confusion, "Your Highness, what are you doing here?" Can you see the tigers and beasts on the mountain in this way? ”
The Great Martial Prince glanced at the two of them, chuckled and said in a tricky manner, "I really saw the Tiger Beast. ”
"What? Where is it? Protect Your Highness! When the guards on the side heard this, they immediately ordered the guards beside them very nervously.
The Great Martial Prince jumped down from the big rock unhurriedly, shook his hand at the guards who wanted to come forward to surround him, and said, "No need, the jackal beast I am talking about is not the tiger or the fierce beast you imagined, but a human. ”
"People? Who can be so terrible? ”
The commander frowned and followed the example of the Great Martial Prince, standing on the stone and looking at the mountain, "No, why can't I see anything except the trees?" ”
The Great Martial Emperor looked at the stupid appearance of the leader of the escort team, and laughed loudly, "Fang just praised you for being smart, why have you become so stupid now, this Qin Dynasty person's head is really strange." ”
"Your Highness, don't sell it, tell us quickly, what did you see?"
The commander of the escort team also seemed to be accustomed to the regional discrimination of the Great Martial Prince, and his brain directly filtered out the three words "Qin Dynasty people", and asked curiously towards the Great Martial Prince without any concern.
"You see, the rest of the mountain is very dense with trees, and the place to the east seems to be getting much thinner." Prince Dawu pointed to the woods on the mountain and explained to the commander.
"What does this show? It's just a forest, and who's there? The Commander asked curiously, but his eyes looked at Dongmian carefully.
"The east side is the place where the sun rises, and it is also the place where the sun shines most during the day, and it is supposed to be the most dense trees, but now the east side of the mountain is sparser than the other four sides, and it is very likely that it is man-made." Prince Dawu didn't want to sell Guan Zi anymore, he explained directly.
The commander suddenly realized, he immediately frowned, and said to the guards beside him, "Be careful for a while, there are bandits on this mountain." ”
"It's easy to understand, and it can be said that it's very smart." The Great Martial Emperor looked at the commander with a smile and praised without hesitation.
"Your Highness, don't praise me, you have already praised me for being confused, one moment calling me stupid, and the other saying that I am smart, what am I doing?" The commander smiled bitterly and put the letter in his hand into a bamboo tube, handed it to a soldier beside him, and asked him to find Zhou Zirui and bring him the news.
Prince Dawu watched the carrier pigeon flutter its wings and flew away, and said with a faint smile, "People are rare to be confused, you are rare to be smart, okay, hurry up, at night, if you go around with the thieves in this strange forest, it will become very troublesome." ”
The commander nodded again and again, and when the prince of Dawu saw that the convoy was moving again, he also got into the carriage and continued to doze lazily.
The convoy slowly moved forward, and with the sound of the carriage, the sky gradually darkened, and the birds and beasts in the forest were much more settled, and the surroundings seemed to become a lot quieter.
The soldiers of the convoy looked up at the sky, and at the men who were full of vigilance, and from time to time sent some men to explore the way.
There seemed to be a lot of cold in the forest at night, perhaps because there was no light, and the soldiers felt a chill on their backs, and the cold rose from the soles of their feet, and some of the soldiers rubbed their hands together and looked around vigilantly.
Prince Dawu gently pulled the curtain of the carriage open, he glanced outside, and suddenly his eyes froze, and he immediately said to the guards beside him, "Let them stop, there is no need to go in front of the king." ”
The guard was slightly stunned, and immediately asked, "What's wrong?" Your Highness, what is the problem? ”
Prince Dawu nodded and said, "Don't move tonight, just set up camp here and leave tomorrow morning." ”
The guard glanced deeply at the Dawu Prince, although he didn't understand where the Dawu Prince's problem came from, he had always trusted the Prince's judgment.
"Stop, we're camping here tonight, don't go any further." The guards shouted loudly towards the convoy.
When the leader of the escort, who had been walking in front, heard this, he immediately dismounted, hurried to the guard's side, and asked puzzledly, "Didn't Your Highness say that there are bandits here?" Why do we stay here all the time? If they go down, we're in trouble. ”
"It's troublesome enough now."
The prince of Dawu got out of the carriage, and the guards on the side saw this, and hurriedly said worriedly, "Your Highness, why did you come out?" How dangerous it is outside, before the tent is set up, it is better to take shelter in the carriage, your safety is the most important thing. ”
"There's no need for that." The Great Martial Prince stretched his waist fiercely and said with a smile, "I'm almost in the carriage, and I always have to come out for activities." ”
"Your Highness, when has it been, you are still so relaxed, there are bandits on this mountain, we don't know the number of thieves yet, if there are more people than us, then ......" The commander frowned, and the expression on his face was very anxious.
"Don't be nervous, just tell those soldiers not to light a fire, as long as this place is there, the bandits may not be able to find it." Prince Dawu looked at the busy soldiers and said very easily.
"Your Highness, what the hell is going on? Do you have any good ideas for escaping the bandits? The guards also looked at the Great Martial Prince with great puzzlement, wondering why he said those words.
The Great Martial Emperor sighed, he walked to a big tree with a strange shape, and said to the leader, "We have been going around this forest, I have seen this tree three times, because it is on the side, you have not noticed, and I am at the window of the carriage, but I can see it clearly. ”
"What? Is this a ghost hitting the wall? The leader exclaimed in surprise.
This sentence attracted all the soldiers on the side, and they all gathered towards the Dawu Prince, and asked curiously, "Did we encounter a ghost hitting the wall?" ”
The Great Martial Prince nodded, shook his head again, and said lightly, "According to what you say, but this forest should have been deliberately created by someone, you look around, some of the stumps that have been cut down are still new." ”
