Chapter 23The Forest of Hidden Trees
The next day, Gong Lingxi went to the palace early to meet Chu Yunyan.
What she said was that the division of labor was not to act alone, but to bring a team of people with Chu Yunyan, so this trip was specially made to find Chu Yunyan's dignitaries.
Chu Yunyan was slightly stunned, and immediately reacted quickly, and immediately dispatched a team of men and horses to Gong Lingxi's men.
Those who were divided into catchers were very angry, and felt that they were very cowardly, so they would be assigned to a woman.
And this woman is none other than Ling Xi, the notorious stupid girl palace in the imperial city.
It's a fool, even if he is a fool, he is ruined and repented of his marriage, and the most important thing is that he will not let go of Li Wangye.
It's really spurned.
Gong Lingxi glanced coldly at the ten catchers behind him, and said coldly: "Do things well." ”
The ten catchers all responded in one mouthful, but they all showed disdain on their faces.
Because Chu Yunyan was here, they didn't dare to attack at all.
"Miss Gong, is it really okay for you to be alone?" Chu Yunyan said with concern.
is only ten fast catches, and he is not a person with strong martial arts.
"That's enough." Gong Lingxi said coldly.
"Well, if you encounter anything, you must call someone to inform this king, and this king will definitely arrive." Chu Yunyan said seriously.
What he is most worried about is Gong Lingxi's safety, if something happens to Gong Lingxi, he will indirectly offend the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister.
Gong Lingxi nodded slightly, "The courtiers take the first step." ”
After saying that, he turned around, glanced at the catchers, and said coldly: "Keep up." ”
The few catchers snorted quickly, and followed behind Gong Lingxi unhappily.
There were no direct clues in this tragedy, and even Chu Yunyan couldn't find the settlement of those people in black, and Gong Lingxi directly said that he would take people to find the people in black.
All they had to do was be curiosity, and all they had to do was sarcasm.
Gong Lingxi, a weak woman who was powerless, how could she know where the man in black was hiding.
Gong Lingxi walked to the gate of the palace and saw Xiaoyu standing there at a glance.
"Miss, Miss." Xiao Yu hurriedly beckoned, ran over, and shouted, "Are you going to the Youmu Forest, you let the slave go with you." ”
She guessed that Gong Lingxi suddenly asked her about the Youmu Forest yesterday, and she must have to go there in person.
Sure enough, now I'm coming to the palace to ask for someone.
Gong Lingxi frowned slightly, and said coldly: "This trip is too dangerous, you better go back." ”
Hearing this, Xiaoyu looked dissatisfied and said unhappily: "Miss, the slave and maid will not hold you back, you just let the slave and maid go." ”
When the few catchers saw another yellow-haired little girl, they frowned unhappily, blew their beards and glared, and shouted angrily: "Where did the little girl come from, didn't you see that the master was going to do something, and he didn't let go." ”
Gong Lingxi's face did not change, and said indifferently: "Follow it." ”
Completely ignoring a few quick catches, those quick catchers' faces suddenly became extremely ugly, blue and white.
Xiao Yu didn't seem to hear those bad words at all, so she hurriedly answered and followed behind Gong Lingxi obediently.
Woodwoods.
All the trees are black, this is the unique wood of the Chu State, and a piece grows here, so it is called the Hidden Wood Forest, which is worthy of its name.
Gong Lingxi followed Xiao Yu step by step.
It was the first time she had come to the woods.
"What the hell is this place, how eerie."
"Black Forest, I've heard that a lot of people have died here, and I'm very angry."
"What are we doing here?"
"Who knows, didn't they all come with Miss Gong?"
A few catchers talked in the back, and their faces were extremely ugly.
Probably not many people want to come to this kind of ghost place.
Xiao Yu walked in the front, she didn't look scared at all, and her steps were calm and elegant.
Gong Lingxi is the same.
"How big is this forest?" Gong Lingxi asked out loud.
They had been walking for a long time, but they had not seen anything.
The letter said that Yumu Lin had seen it, but it didn't say where it was.
"The slave doesn't know, this forest seems to have no end, no matter where the royal family is, no one can estimate how big this place is." Xiao Yu bit her lip and said.
Gong Lingxi was silent.
Don't have a forest of approximate size?
Occasionally, there were a few bird chirpings and insect chirping from the trees on the side, which was obviously a normal sound, but it seemed extremely strange here.
"We've been gone for so long, why haven't we arrived yet? Miss Gong, are you in the wrong place? A catcher asked aloud.
"That's it, how can there be people in black in such a ghostly place, besides, there are only a few of us, if we meet them, we won't just wait for death, or let's go back." The other chimed in.
"I want to go back too, it's noon and I haven't seen anything yet."
Gong Lingxi frowned slightly.
These people thrown over by Chu Yunyan were really unreliable.
"Of course I don't see anything." Xiao Yu turned her head suddenly, looked at them, and said in a loud voice, "Do you want to see something?" What else could this kind of place have besides man-eating monsters? ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present widened their pupils and looked at Xiaoyu in fear.
"Man-eating monster, what's that?" One of them asked worriedly, only to feel a chill rise on the soles of his feet.
Xiaoyu said seriously: "Don't you know that there is a legend? As long as you enter the woods, you must go out through another exit, and if you go back the way you came, you will encounter man-eating monsters, and there will be no bones left to eat. ”
"What kind of legend is this, why have I never heard of it, you little girl shouldn't be bluffing, right?"
Xiao Yu snorted and said, "If you don't believe it, just go back the way you came, and see if you can get out!" ”
Hearing her such a determined tone, everyone couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, and they all shook their heads.
"A group of big men are so cowardly!" Xiao Yu sneered, but the catchers didn't dare to reply, but followed behind them tremblingly, not daring to leave the group.
There are many legends about the Woods, and it is also true that many people died here.
What scared them the most was that it was noon, but there was no sunlight shining in, so they could only take advantage of the faint twilight to walk forward.
The corners of Gong Lingxi's lips hooked slightly, feeling that Xiaoyu was simply too smart.
She noticed something strange as soon as she entered, and from the very beginning she walked here, someone had been following them.
The man didn't know if he was alone or in a group, and there was no sound of footsteps when he walked, and if it weren't for her keen sense of smell to smell the breath of someone other than them, I am afraid she would not have been able to detect it.
Now they are weak, and it is not appropriate to alarm those people, and those who have not done so have long wanted to wait for them to walk some more, or to drive them to a place.
Anyway, let's wait for a while and make plans.
"Stop."
