"It's not good, those are not here to search, they are here to kill!"

After saying this sentence in a hurry, he gave up the driftwood, pulled Shen Nianzhen to dive underwater, and then swam desperately to the shore.

Shen Nian really didn't know why, but when he heard the word killing, he also knew that it was a bad thing, so he didn't say a word at the moment, paddling hard, and kept up with Rong Chen's speed.

Finally, the two men climbed ashore.

Before Shen Nianzhen could catch her breath, Rong Chen pulled her and ran into the lush dense forest on the bank of the river, and lost her trace in the blink of an eye.

The people on the big boat searched around for a long time on this river, but they didn't find anyone, and a fat man led by him put down the binoculars in his hand and said impatiently: "If you want me to say, the second prince and the eldest lady of the Shen family must have fallen into the river and fed the eldest prince, and the bones have been gnawed away, and there is no blood left, let's go back!" Don't bother with it! ”

"No, they must not be dead." Another person slowly walked out of the cabin, wearing a dark green robe, sideburns like clouds, the sun shines, the silver thread embroidery on the robe flashes with a faint light, the end is low-key wealth, a thin face of the Chinese character, with a pair of sharp eyes, he raised his eyes to look this way, his eyes fell on the driftwood that flowed down with the river, and asked in a deep voice: "What is that?" ”

The man immediately raised his binoculars and looked at it, and then replied, "Your Highness, it's a piece of wood, and nothing else." ”

"Driftwood?" The man who was addressed as His Royal Highness immediately raised his eyebrows, and a pair of dark eyes slowly scanned the bank of this river, and then ordered: "Send people down, along the perimeter of this piece of driftwood, and search carefully on the shore in the water, and you must find them before the Royal Forest Army, you know?" ”

"Yes, Your Highness!" Others answered.

The man nodded in satisfaction, then turned back to the cabin.

Under the scorching sun, dozens of ghost-like men in black got out of the cabin and dived into the water.

At this time, the Imperial Forest Army sent by the emperor was still upstream and had not yet arrived.

Even Shen Nianzhen and Rong Chen only learned about it a long time later, when they fell into the water, first drifted downstream with the turbulent current, and when they finally swam to the shore, they had already washed out ten miles away with the current.

No wonder Rong Chen is so tired.

In the dense forest, Rong Chen pulled Shen Nianzhen and stumbled out for a long time before stopping.

Shen Nianzhen has not eaten a mouthful of anything from morning to now, but he has drunk a lot of river water in his stomach, and when he runs down this way, he is already tired and dizzy, and he can't run anymore, so he sits on the ground with his butt.

Rong Chen also stopped, turned around and saw her sitting on the ground panting heavily, and sat down himself, teasing: "Didn't you say that you want to fight side by side with this palace?" Why, throw in the towel so quickly? ”

"Your uncle's."

Shen Nianzhen rolled his eyes at him speechlessly, and then said intermittently: "Now...... Whoever comes, me, I can't run......"

"Finally can't hold on? It's okay, Hongu will carry you away. Rong Chen suddenly stood up from the ground, picked up Shen Nianzhen, and jumped to the top of the tree easily, the dense shade covering the whereabouts of the two people.

"Your Highness, what are you ......" Shen Nianzhen said in surprise.

However, before he could say two words, his mouth was covered by Rong Chen's hand.

The next moment, two black-clothed people appeared under the shade of the trees, looking for something in the woods, Shen Nianzhen saw that they were holding bright long knives in their hands, and he was suddenly frightened and didn't dare to come out.

At this time, she finally understood why Rong Chen fled with her.

Sure enough, this place has a third-party force.

It wasn't until the man in black searched for him and left without results that Rong Chen went down from the tree with Shen Nianzhen in his arms, originally coming out of the river, and the two of them were wet, but after this period of running, coupled with the scorching sun, the clothes were almost dry at this time.

Shen Nianzhen's most uncomfortable thing now is hunger.

I'm so hungry.

She regretted very much that she didn't eat breakfast in the morning and then came out, at this time the road ahead in the dense forest was confused, and there was a lot of chasing behind her, where to find food?

"Eat, pad your stomach first, and then shake them off, and the roast pheasant in this palace will be given to you to eat." Rong Chen took out a turquoise fruit like a trick and handed it to Shen Nianzhen.

Shen Nianzhen glanced down: "This is what you picked when you were on the tree just now, right?" Why didn't I see it? ”

"You were so nervous that you only had those assassins in your eyes." Rong Chen smiled when he heard this.

Shen Nianzhen thought about it, reached out and took the fruit, looked down, frowned and asked, "What kind of fruit is this, is it poisonous?" ”

"Hongu doesn't know either." Rong Chen replied dryly.

"Huh? I don't know if it's poisonous, so you give it to me? Shen Nianzhen immediately frowned when he heard this.

"Then let's eat it in this palace." Rong Chen stretched out his hand to go back.

Shen Nianzhen said no, and had already opened his mouth and took a bite.

The fruit is turquoise, and it is a little sour when eaten.

But it's not unpleasant, and after being sour, it's sweet.

"It's delicious." Shen Nianzhen nodded, and handed the remaining half of the fruit to Rong Chen: "It's not poisonous, you can eat it." ”

It turned out that she was there to test the poison......

Rong Chen couldn't say what kind of emotion he was in his heart, in fact, he knew that this kind of fruit could be eaten, otherwise he would not have picked it for Shen Nianzhen.

"You can eat it yourself, this palace doesn't eat other people's saliva." After coldly rejecting Shen Nianzhen, he turned around and walked towards the depths of the dense forest.

Shen Nianzhen: "......"

Seeing that Rong Chen was walking away, she hurriedly raised her heels and ate the other half of the fruit with hatred.

After eating the fruit, Shen Nianzhen finally felt a little strength in his body.

Rong Chen took her around, walked for a long time, and finally threw off the pursuers behind, during this period, Shen Nian was really tired and tired, but gritted his teeth and persevered, and did not cry out bitterly.

Rong Chen is also very admirable, if this is a normal delicate woman, let alone fleeing with Shen Nianzhen today, it is impossible for him to swim out of the river.

When he arrived at a safe place, he was reluctant to let Shen Nianzhen continue to suffer with him, and used the dagger he carried with him to cut off a piece of weeds, and made a clean place for Shen Nianzhen to sit and rest, and he went hunting to get food.

"Lord ......"

Seeing that his figure was about to disappear into the depths of the dense forest, Shen Nianzhen suddenly called out to him.

"What's wrong?" Rong Chen turned around and glanced at her.

Shen Nian was really embarrassed to say that he was afraid, so he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you can go." ”

Rong Chen gave her a deep look, then turned to leave.

Shen Nianzhen suddenly clasped her legs with her hands, sat on the stone, and looked around vigilantly, for fear that during the time that Rong Chen was away, any assassin would find her, and she would really die.

Fortunately, Rong Chen didn't go for a long time and came back soon.

A drooping pheasant in his left hand had already plucked his feathers and gutted his internal organs, and washed them on the edge of the river, and in his other hand he was holding a few wide lotus leaves.

Rong Chen went to light a fire.

After the fire was ready, Shen Nianzhen also disposed of the chicken, dug a pit under the fire, stuffed the chicken wrapped in lotus leaves, re-covered the soil, and then waited to eat.

"Shall we spend the night here tonight?" Shen Nianzhen asked.

"If there are no surprises, yes." Rong Chen also sat down on the big stone, stretched out his hand and handed the water bladder on his waist to Shen Nianzhen, and said, "Drink a little, I just beat it, the water is very clear." ”

Shen Nianzhen immediately took it when he heard this, pulled out the stopper and took a big sip.

The fire was burning, and the woods were quiet, even a little too quiet.

Shen Nianzhen suddenly felt a palpitation and an indescribable fear for no reason.

Before she could react, Rong Chen, who was sitting opposite, had already changed his face, suddenly got up and ran over, grabbed her waist with a copy of his hand, and jumped to the treetops behind him, hiding the figures of the two people in it through the dense leaves.

In a short time, three or five men in black ran out of the woods, ran to the fire, looked left and right, and cursed fiercely: "Let them run!" It must not be far! The big guys are scattered and looking around! ”

As he spoke, he trampled out the fire they had managed to build under the tree three times and two times, and ran away.

Rong Chen held Shen Nianzhen and leaned against the trunk of the tree, not moving.

After a while, the men in black ran back again, and when they saw that there was no one by the fire, they were relieved to leave.

He actually killed the carbine!

Shen Nianzhen was secretly taken aback, and couldn't help but be glad that she didn't let Rong Chen take her down just now.

It's just a pity that the fire, and the chicken.

Maybe it's because he stands tall and sees far, or maybe it's because Rong Chen's eyesight is amazing, and he can always accurately judge whether the black-clothed people who are searching are approaching, and he waited for half an hour before Rong Chen jumped down from the tree with Shen Nianzhen.

Then he went over and dug open the extinguished fire, pulled out the pheasant wrapped in lotus leaves and soil, and peeled off the soil little by little, and suddenly the rich smell of meat spread in the woods.

"It smells so good!" Shen Nianzhen took a deep breath, and a look of intoxication appeared on his face.

The two of them were hungry for most of the day, and they didn't care about the hot hands, so they sat under the tree and quickly dismantled the chicken and devoured it.

While eating, Shen Nianzhen suddenly heard a faint sound of blades intersecting in the air.

She couldn't help but change her face, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to push Rong Chen, and said anxiously: "Are those assassins here again?" Are we going to run away? ”

"Don't worry." Rong Chen raised his head slowly, put down the chicken leg in his hand and glanced at her, and said: "That's two forces clashing, they won't come over for the time being, we will eat ours." ”

After speaking, he handed the last remaining chicken wing to Shen Nianzhen.

Shen Nianzhen saw that even if he was tearing the chicken with his hands to eat, his movements were extremely elegant, and he couldn't help but speak: "Your Highness, how can you know so clearly?" ”

"If you've experienced more assassinations, you'll understand." Rong Chen said slowly.

"Oh......" Shen Nianzhen said thoughtfully.

It turned out that Rong Chen was an arrogant prince with infinite scenery on the surface, but in fact his life was so hard.

No wonder......

"What are you thinking?" Rong Chen suddenly put down the things in his hand, raised his eyes and looked at her and said: "Now it seems that the whole thing of Miss Zhu falling off the cliff seems to have been calculated, including your eldest brother's recklessness, the people behind the scenes have calculated everyone's temper and targeted layout, and now each of us is a chess piece in his hand, which is not terrifying." ”

"yes, I don't know what that person's purpose is......"

Shen Nianzhen nodded in agreement, looked at him deeply, and put down the things in his hand: "I'm full." ”

"Alright, we should go too."

Rong Chen said, and immediately took out a snow-white handkerchief, handed it to Shen Nianzhen, and asked her to wipe her greasy hands after eating meat.

"This ...... Don't use it, right? This veil is so beautiful, let's keep it. Shen Nianzhen suddenly hesitated.

"Hurry up and wipe it, you don't want to waste this handkerchief, do you want to wait for the greasy hands to rub all the greasy on the back of the palace?" Rong Chen immediately raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

"You're going to carry me?"

"Nonsense! Can you get out of here with your two slender legs? According to the main palace, if you can't go half a mile, you will be caught up by those assassins and wiped with a knife. Rong Chen raised his eyebrows.

Shen Nianzhen trembled when she heard this, imagining that scene, she only felt that her neck was cold, and there seemed to be some faint pain, she didn't dare to delay any longer, she hurriedly grabbed the handkerchief and carefully wiped the hands that had eaten the chicken clean, and then carefully rolled the handkerchief into a ball, intending to put it away.

"What are you doing when it's so dirty? Thrown! Seeing this, Rong Chen immediately frowned: "Is it possible that you still want to be a baby!" ”

"It's not a treasure, it's just that those people are searching us, leaving this handkerchief, isn't it leaving a clue?" Shen Nianzhen said, ignoring his ridicule, folding the handkerchief and hiding it in his arms.

Rong Chen: "......"

Well, women's homes are more verbose.

He didn't say anything more, and bent down with his back to Shen Nianzhen.

Shen Nianzhen looked at his broad and solid back, hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand, but quickly retracted it the moment it touched his back.

When it was just in danger, Rong Chen hugged her up and down the tree, the situation was critical, and she couldn't care about thinking about anything else, but now in this situation, Shen Nianzhen suddenly hesitated.

Rong Chen waited for a while, but there was silence behind him, and he suddenly turned back hesitantly: "What are you hesitating about?" What are you pretending to be at this time? Is life more important or rules important? ”

Of course, life matters!

As the saying goes, it's better to die than to live!

Shen Nianzhen gritted his teeth, stopped twisting at the moment, stretched his hands forward, pounced, and grabbed Rong Chen's neck, letting him carry himself.

Immediately, Rong Chen exerted his strength, raised his feet and ran towards the place where the battle was made.

When I was on the tree just now, I didn't feel that I was holding a soft and fragrant little girl at this time, and the bodies of the two people were tightly together, this feeling was too amazing, Rong Chen suddenly felt that his heart was beating fast.

Although his heart throbbed, his steps were not chaotic.

Soon, they arrived at the place, and Rong Chen stopped with Shen Nianzhen on his back in a place where the two people who were fighting couldn't see it, hiding behind the grass, waiting for the result.

Shen Nianzhen squatted in the grass, gently brushed away a small patch of weeds in front of him, and looked ahead: "Oh my God, these two groups of people are fighting so fiercely, I don't know who they are......"

"One wave is the Imperial Foresters, and the other wave is unknown." Rong Chen lowered his voice and said: "They should have encountered it during the search, but we want to see which force it is that dares to fight the Royal Forest Army!" ”

As he spoke, in the open space in front of him, the two sides of the people and horses fought fiercely, blood and minced flesh flew together, wailing and crying in unison, so it was not tragic.

This scene was too bloody, Shen Nianzhen only glanced at it, and then felt uncomfortable churning in his chest, as if the chicken he had just eaten was making waves in his chest, so he immediately withdrew his gaze, closed his eyes slightly, and quietly waited for this scene to pass quickly.

Turns out she's scared too? I thought this girl was not afraid of heaven and earth, not even blood! Rong Chen turned his head and glanced at Shen Nianzhen funny, raised his arm, and consciously blocked her gaze.

After a while, the fierce fighting gradually subsided.

To Shen Nianzhen's surprise, those Imperial Forest Army actually did not fight the group of black-clothed people, they were wiped out, and a large number of corpses were lying on the ground, all of which belonged to those Royal Forest Army.

After the man in black won, he didn't stay long and walked away.

"There were more than twenty of those assassins in total, and there were only nine of them in the Royal Guards, so it was not surprising that they were killed." Rong Chen stood up, glanced at the Imperial Forest Army, and said lightly: "Let's go, let's follow." ”

As he spoke, he was about to squat down and continue to recite Shen Nianzhen.

"No, Your Highness, you just watched these people in the wilderness? Regardless of whether to ask? Shen Nianzhen glanced at him in surprise and said, "Anyway, it's also a member of the imperial court!" They were also killed to search for us......"

Rong Chen avoided answering her question and asked, "Do you want to know where your eldest brother and Miss Zhu are now?" ”

"Do you know where they are?" Shen Nianzhen was suddenly surprised when he heard this.

"This palace doesn't know, but, following these people, we have the best chance of finding your eldest brother and them." Rong Chen slowly spoke: "This palace feels that your previous guess is not wrong, your eldest brother and Miss Zhu are not dead, but there is another force that has been chasing and killing them, so no one can be found until now." ”

"You believe my reasoning?" Shen Nianzhen was very surprised when he heard this.

God knows how obvious the look of mockery on Commander Hu's face was when she first made this point.

"Yes, the truth is here, and I have to believe it." Rong Chen nodded when he heard this, and suddenly walked up to the corpse of a black-clothed assassin, bent down and took off the veil from his face.
