Yu Chi Fulin knocked on the wall of the cave with the hilt of the sword in his hand, walked into the cave for a while, and knocked for a while, and finally, in a place covered with moss, there was a different sound from the surroundings.

It was a sound similar to the emptiness inside.

Yu Chi Fulin was shocked, and hurriedly used the sword in his hand to pull away the moss, and under a thin layer of moist soil, a smooth stone wall was exposed, which was not at all like the naturally formed mud and stones outside.

"Someone!"

Yu Chi Fulin shouted loudly.

The government soldiers outside heard the shouting and hurriedly ran away, one of whom was Gong Lang.

"My lord, what did you find?"

Gong Lang saw Yu Chi Fulin's appearance and asked suspiciously.

"Come and see, is there anything strange here?"

Yu Chi Fulin took a step back and asked Gong Lang and another soldier named Kong Bai to step forward, "You two scrape that dirt away and take a look." ”

Gong Lang and Kong Bai glanced at each other, and then stepped forward together, and quickly scraped off the dirt and moss with their swords.

At this time, Duan Kang also came back with some prey, so Yu Chi Fulin ordered some people to prepare dinner and water, and another part of the people to guard the entrance of the cave for guarding, and the rest of the people all surrounded the half-exposed stone wall.

"It's... It can't be a tomb, right? ”

A government soldier suddenly blurted out.

But Gong Lang shook his head, "Won't it?" Could it be that someone would take Miss Jiang into the grave? However, there was obviously no trace of human movement here just now! ”

Yu Chi Fulin also nodded in agreement, but what did that arrow mean?

Could it be that there is more than one entrance?

He looked at the sky and said to Gong Lang, "You go and take a look around to see if there is anything like the entrance to a cave or a tomb." ”

"Yes, sir."

Gong Lang took the order and retreated, while the rest of the people continued to clean the stone wall with the tools in their hands.

Soon, the stone wall was all cleared out, like a door, with some patterns on it that they couldn't read, crisscrossed and glowing with cyan light.

"My lord, do you think this is the tomb gate?"

The soldier named Konbai just now asked in a trembling voice.

"I don't think there's anything on it that a normal tomb door should have."

Yu Chi Fulin shook his head and said, his deep eyes were full of inquiry, these characters, no matter how rich he was, he had never seen them, on the stone door, there was a pattern of a crescent moon just showing its face from the dark clouds, if it was a tomb, who would use such a beautiful mural?

"Look for it, see if there is a switch next to the door or something."

Yu Chi Fulin commanded again.

At this time, Gong Lang came back, he wiped the sweat on his face, and replied breathlessly, "My lord, the weather outside is not very good, and my subordinates have searched all around, but they haven't found anything." ”

"Forget it if you don't, let's see if this stone door can be opened."

Yu Chi Fulin said, also walked to the door, groped with his hands, but after touching for a long time, he didn't find a mechanism that could open the door.

He was a little depressed, "Forget it, let's eat first, rest for one night, and continue to go up the mountain tomorrow." ”

There was no trace of the door at all, and he didn't believe that Jiang Zhu happened to be inside.

Everyone sat cross-legged in the cave, around the fire, eating charred chicken and rabbit meat, and only two sips of soju were left.

Seeing that Wei Chi Fulin didn't speak, the soldiers just ate and drank, and didn't dare to say anything, they couldn't find Miss Jiang after looking for so many days, and they couldn't explain to General Qin.

----------

At the same time, Lan Yue took Nangong and the others to Jingshan, but because he was worried about Lan Yue's safety, Nangong stubbornly asked to take the big road.

Although the road is easy to walk, the distance to the top of the mountain is much slower than that of Yu Chi Fulin.

"Nangong, how long is it left?"

Lan Yue stopped and held on to a big tree beside her, frowned and asked.

"Your Highness, it's still early, I said I wouldn't let you come, you have to come, no, how long have you been walking, you can't walk?"

Nangong glared at Lan Yue angrily, just this weak little body, to save people? It's almost the same as being rescued.

"Who says I can't walk?"

Hearing Nangong's extremely disgusted words, Lan Yue frowned, Huo Di stood up, and said loudly, "I can still go, don't you just climb a mountain, what can happen?" It's a trifle! ”

"And~~~"

Nangong glanced at him, with an obvious look of disbelief, which made everyone on the side want to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and almost didn't hold back the internal injuries.

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince, you see that it's getting late, why don't we rest for a while and go up the mountain early tomorrow morning?"

Shen Teng, Zhang Shi and the others saw Lan Yue's strong appearance, so they suggested to Lan Yue.

Lan Yue didn't speak, turned her head to look at Nangong, Nangong nodded, Lan Yue waved her hand and said, "Forget it, since it's getting late, let's repair it for one night first, we can't rush to find food." ”

"Let's look for it, find a suitable place to rest for one night, and then leave early tomorrow morning."

Nangong commanded loudly to everyone. Reed bamboo forest

Only he and Lan Yue knew that although they were ostensibly looking for food, in fact, they were looking for people. It's just that Shen Teng and the others didn't know.

When they first left Luozhou City, they divided their troops into two routes, supervising the imperial history Guo Lin and Zhou Jian, the middle of the criminal department, and took their men to another road, which should not be in the direction of Jingshan. And Shen Teng, another member of the Criminal Department, took the forbidden army and Nangong Lanyue together.

They secretly received the news that Jiang Zhu was in Jingshan nine times out of ten, and that the robbed grain might also be able to find clues in Jingshan.

Therefore, Lan Yue and Nangong chased after them all the way, but Lan Yue did not have the eagerness of Yu Chi Fulin. The big road they took was obviously much easier than the path taken by Wei Chi Fulin and the others, because there was Lan Yue, a well-pampered prince, so at the same time, Lan Yue and the others had not yet reached the halfway point of the mountain.

Several forbidden soldiers found a vacant space in a relatively flat place on the side of the road and set up a tent, which was for Blue Moon to live. As for the others, they don't have that treatment.

Just the stream, eating dry food, Lan Yue was choked and stretched her neck, Nangong pretended not to see it, just took a big bite of the dry cake in his hand, Shen Teng saw this, and finally couldn't bear it, handed the kettle in his hand to Lan Yue, and whispered, "Your Highness doesn't dislike it, just drink some of this." ”

"What's this?"

Blue Moon looked at him suspiciously.

"The tea that the lowly job secretly brought when he went out, the lowly duty is not used to drinking the water in the mountains."

Shen Teng looked around and whispered.

“.......”

Lan Yue hesitated for a moment, stretched out her hand to take it, but she didn't dislike it, she raised her head and gulped several sips, finally swallowing the dry cake in her throat.

This night, Lan Yue slept very soundly, because he was so tired, but Nangong had been pretending to sleep, he didn't dare to sleep, Lan Yue's life was in his hands, if something happened to Lan Yue, how would he explain to his senior brother?

In the middle of the night, the two forbidden soldiers in charge of the night vigil couldn't survive the long night, and leaned on a large tree trunk to take a nap.

"Huh~~~Huh~~~"

The sound of the wind blowing through the leaves, Nangong, who was sleeping outside the Blue Moon tent, listened carefully, and it seemed that the wind was blowing.

She closed her eyes and pulled up her coat, the night in the forest was so cold.

"Sneeze ......"

Nangong stretched out his hand and rubbed his nose, is this a cold?

"Whew......"

A long howl broke the silence of the night sky, Nangong suddenly bounced up from the ground, grabbed the sword beside him and rushed into the tent, shouting loudly, "Your Highness, Your Highness, get up quickly!" ”

Lan Yue slept soundly, and was woken up by Nangong's urgent screams, he rubbed his sleepy eyes, and looked at Nangong who was anxious in front of him, "Nangong, is it dawn?" I haven't slept enough! ”

"Your Highness, hurry up, danger!"

"What? Danger, where is the danger? ”

Lan Yue glanced outside, but she didn't hear the sound of fighting!

At this time, Shen Teng outside the tent also came in, and while buttoning his clothes, he asked, "Lord Nangong, did you hear that strange voice just now?" ”

"I heard ......"

Before Nangong finished speaking, Lan Yue interjected and asked, "What's the sound?" ”

"Whew... Woo......"

There was another long animal cry, and all the sleeping Janissaries woke up, and everyone asked, "What is this sound?" ”

Someone said, "Like the sound of some animal." ”

"Tiger or lion?"

A forbidden soldier reacted and asked with trembling lips.

"It's a tiger! Hurry up and get dressed and get your weapons! ”

Nangong gave him the sword beside Lan Yue and said calmly to everyone.

"Old... Tiger? ”

Lan Yue took the sword, her hand shook when she heard Nangong's words, and she almost dropped the sword to the ground in fright. The ...... of the King of Beasts

"Whew... Woo......"

The tiger roar seemed to be closer to them, and the hairs in everyone's hearts stood up, you look at me, I look at you, some don't know what to do, if you encounter a killer or something, you can still fight, but this king of the forest, how can they fight these mortal fetuses?

"Don't panic, let's see if there are any big trees nearby that you can climb, it's best to climb the trees to hide for a while, don't make a sound."

Among all the people, only Nangong is the calmest, in fact, he is not afraid of a tiger, but he still has to ensure the safety of the powerless Blue Moon, which is a little difficult.

Seeing this, Shen Teng and the others hurriedly looked around, fortunately, there are quite a lot of big trees in this forest, and the branches and leaves are lush and easy to climb, so some people began to climb up.

Seeing this, Nangong reminded again, "It's best to bring some food and water, the tiger's stamina is very good..."

Before he could finish speaking, the pile of food on the ground was picked up.

He was a little speechless, carrying the collar on the back of Lan Yue's neck, lightly touching his toes, and jumped on a large tree with lush foliage far away from everyone, and then put Lan Yue on a thick branch, and warned in a fierce low voice, "Don't make a sound, or I won't be able to save you!" ”

Lan Yue hugged the water and sword in his hand, and nodded stupidly, since he heard that it was a tiger, his head would not turn, and he would do whatever Nangong asked him to do, and there was no room for his own thinking at all.

As soon as everyone hid, a big guy covered with patterns appeared in everyone's sight, and all the people were so frightened that they were motionless or squatting or lying on their stomachs, not daring to make a sound, for fear of attracting the attention of the king below, although everyone knew that the tiger could not climb trees, but it was best not to let it find out.

"Whew....."

The spotted tiger walked slowly to the place where everyone had gathered just now, and let out a long roar, startling countless birds in the forest to flutter their wings and leave.
