At this time, King Wu immediately waved his hand to the guards behind him and said, "You guys go around and take a good look, you must ensure the safety of your father." ”

The guard behind him took the order and followed the returning guard to the front to search.

This is the royal hunting ground, even if the emperor does not come in normal times, there will be a special person to take care of it on weekdays, and ordinary people will not enter it at will. Is there really someone who wants to be bad for the emperor?

But the emperor is not here, if it is really an assassin, why not go to the emperor? Now that Zhuo Chen and King Wu are not by his side, it is the best time to start.

Unless their target is not the Emperor!

Mo Shihuan felt more and more strange, looking at that King Wu, although he looked nervous on the surface, he kept standing still, and seemed to know that there would be no danger Yes.

Zhuo Chen's face was expressionless, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.

Mo Shihuan touched him with his arm and asked, "What do you think?" Could it be that there is any real danger? ”

Zhuo Chen hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and said, "I don't know, you don't have to panic, even if there is danger, I will be by your side to protect you." ”

With his words, Mo Shihuan was inexplicably relieved. Seeing that those guards would not be able to come back for a while, and there was no movement around, Mo Shihuan said to Zhuo Chen: "It's not a way to wait here, there are so many of us, they shouldn't dare to do anything to us, right?" Why don't you go to the front and have a look? ”

"Okay." Zhuo Chen nodded in agreement.

So, he said loudly to everyone in the team: "Keep up, don't let your guard down." ”

As he spoke, Zhuo Chen pointed to a path and planned to move forward.

"Wait." King Wu spoke at this time: "The guard just now came from this road, for the sake of unnecessary trouble, according to this king, let's change the road." ”

Everyone felt that what he said made sense, and they all turned around and agreed.

For Zhuo Chen and Mo Shihuan, it was the same which way they went, and they didn't think much about it, so they walked towards the road pointed out by King Wu.

King Wu rode a horse a little behind, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his eyes showed triumphant contempt.

It was all going as he expected.

I don't know why, in previous years, there were quite a lot of prey in this hunting ground, but this time there were obviously a lot less, and everyone walked for a long time, but they didn't see much prey, and they didn't know if they were going in the wrong direction.

Just when some of the competitive people couldn't help it and wanted to leave the team and go alone to find the target, a figure suddenly flashed in front of them.

The figure seemed to have fallen from a tall tree next to it and fell directly into the middle of the road.

"Ahh

Mo Shihuan and Zhuo Chen were taken aback unsuspectingly because they were walking in the front, especially when they saw that the person was covered in blood, she covered her eyes and hid in Zhuo Chen's arms.

Zhuo Chen protected Mo Shihuan while looking at the man with an inquiring look.

At this time, King Wu walked out of the crowd and said angrily: "What is going on?!" Where are the guards? ”

Several guards hurriedly walked out from behind, poked their heads in front, and then replied in fear: "Subordinates should be damned, let the two princes be frightened." ”

According to the usual practice, before the emperor came to the hunting ground, the people below should have come to inspect in advance, and now an uninvited guest suddenly appeared, it must be their dereliction of duty.

"I'm still stunned what to do, don't go and see!" King Wu said angrily.

"Yes." The guards did not dare to delay and immediately went to check.

The minister's son, who had some good things in the back, also followed.

Zhuo Chen gently patted Mo Shihuan in his arms and asked, "How is it, are you okay?" ”

At this time, Mo Shihuan had already eased up and replied, "It's okay, let's go over and take a look." ”

So the two walked one after the other into the crowd.

The man was dressed in tattered clothes, covered in scars and flesh, and he lay face down, motionless.

The guard moved his hand to his saber and carefully kicked the man in the thigh, but when he still didn't react, he bent down and turned him over.

It doesn't matter if he turns over, Mo Shihuan was startled again, but he saw that the person's face was even more miserable than his body, with scratches one after another, and the whole face was no longer visible.

"Who is so cruel that you can hurt people like this?"

"How much hatred it must be to disfigure people when they die."

The crowd began to talk about it.

If it is somewhere else, the appearance of such a corpse is not new, but this is the royal paddock, and the inexplicable appearance of a disfigured corpse should not be underestimated, for fear that it will be done by someone with a heart.

However, just now King Wu has sent most of the guards out, and now there are only a dozen people behind him to protect them, in case something really happens, I am afraid that this side is not an opponent.

Thinking of this, some people in the crowd suddenly lost interest in continuing to hunt, and proposed: "Two princes, this matter is really strange, why don't we go back first, and go down to edict more people to find out about this matter." ”

The others chimed in: "Yes, the two princes have noble statuses, and they can't forget to take risks." ”

King Wu tilted his head and looked at Zhuo Chen, and asked, "King Liang, what do you say?" ”

Zhuo Chen felt in his heart that this matter would never be so simple, and he didn't want to leave like this, but when he saw Mo Shihuan's pale face, he nodded and said, "Since that's the case, let's go back and report this matter to our father first, and then make a decision." ”

"Okay, then listen to King Liang." As he spoke, King Wu turned around and got on his horse again, and returned with all the people the way they came.

It's just that the further they go, the more complicated everyone's expressions become, and this road seems to be different from when they walked just now.

The road seemed narrower, and the trees around them grew thicker, and even after walking a little bit, a mist gradually rose around them, and then thickened.

"Are we on the wrong track?" Someone in the crowd asked tremblingly.

"That's right, it's just past noon, how can it be foggy for no reason, it's really strange."

Zhuo Chen over there had already noticed that something was wrong, his expression was serious, his eyes swept around vigilantly, he knew that Mo Shihuan was afraid, so he took her hand and held me tightly in his hand.

Mo Shihuan's palms were already sweaty, and he held Zhuo Chen's arm with the other hand and followed him closely, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Zhuo Chen's tone was calm, and he comforted her: "Don't be afraid, with me, it'll be fine, follow me, don't get separated." ”

Mo Shihuan nodded, and his body moved a little closer to him.

At this time, Zhuo Chen found that their team seemed to be getting smaller and smaller, at first he thought it was the cause of the dense fog, but gradually, a few people who kept talking at first, but then they lost their voices, and even the footsteps of the team were much quieter.
