An hour and a half later, the ugly hour was ticking.

Under the moonlit and starry night, two carriages, one in front and one behind, galloped in the wilderness.

In the wide carriage, Shen Shu hugged the pillow embroidered with dark gold ruyi cloud pattern and looked anxiously into the distance.

Before leaving the Shen Mansion, she saw Zhao Sima and a person wearing the uniform of a high-ranking guard of the Metropolitan Protectorate from a distance, hurrying into Mingyue Zhai with a group of fire officials and guards.

Although time was pressing, Shen Shu didn't have time to stay and see what those people were going to do, and she wasn't worried about Mingyuezhai's situation.

I believe that with Daddy's arrangement in advance and the fourth uncle in person, no matter how many people Zhao Sima brings, he will definitely return.

In order not to let her family worry about her "disappearance for no reason", the man specially offered to leave the Beiya Shadow Guard to help her pass the message.

Shen Shu weighed it again and again, and simply left the dagger to Ying Wei, and instructed him to hand over the news of her departure from the house and the dagger to the third brother at the right time.

With the tacit understanding between her and the third brother, the third brother will definitely try to help her hide this matter in front of her mother.

While Shen Shu was thinking, the carriage finally drove through the wilderness and stopped under a towering cliff.

As soon as the car stopped, Shen Shu jumped out of the car in a hurry.

What caught her eye was the primeval forest canyon at the end of the cliff.

Under the moonlight, the narrow entrance to the forest is like a giant beast with a bloody mouth, which will pounce on it at any time and devour people into its belly!

In this moment of silence, this should have been a very chilling picture.

But for some reason, in Shen Shu's eyes, he felt inexplicably familiar.

Familiarity with——

It's as if even if she closes her eyes, she can move freely through this forest.

Shen Shu took a deep breath.

The moist scent of earth and rotting wood rushed into the tip of her nose.

Let her have no reason, clenching her palms tightly, her body trembling slightly.

It was a throbbing that seemed to flow from the inside of the bones.

There seemed to be some voice, deep in the jungle, calling to her, waiting for her......

The man got out of the carriage, walked towards Shen Shu, saw her trembling shoulders, and casually untied the big straps from his body and draped them over her.

His resolute face reflected the moonlight, full of determination: "Don't be afraid, the girl will definitely protect her unharmed." ”

The black big body with the man's body temperature and a faint soapy fragrance completely wrapped Shen Shu's petite body.

Shen Shu's body stiffened: "Thank you, my lord, I'm not afraid of ......"

As she spoke, she raised her hand to take off her big hat and give it back to the man—

When he raised his eyes, he saw that the shadow guard had already taken another big piece and draped it over the man's shoulder.

The man naturally gathered the big on his body freely, raised his sword eyebrows slightly, looked at Shen Shu and asked, "What is that girl worried about?" ”

Seeing this, Shen Shu's heart was flushed.

She raised her hand and put it in front of her again, and she also followed his example, and hugged Dayu: "I'm just worried about the vast forest, how to find my father's traces." ”

"I see."

The man turned around with a faint smile and looked into the distance: "Girl, don't worry, I have sent the shadow guard to follow them into the forest at dusk, as long as you go in, you can find the trace." ”

These words made Shen Shu's heart suddenly rise a little vigilant.

"When I was in the Shen Mansion, my lord said that he had not received any news from the deep forest so far, so how could he find a trace?" She asked sharply.

The man turned his head and glanced at Shen Shu with a light smile: "Although I haven't received the news yet, the shadow guard will definitely leave a mark wherever he goes." Once you're inside, just look for the mark."

As he spoke, his footsteps moving slightly, he walked towards the entrance of the forest.

Shen Shu's heart was relieved, and she hurriedly followed, and said suddenly: "Don't blame ...... adults."

"It doesn't matter." The man said lightly: "When you go out, it's always good to think a lot about things." ”

Shen Shu said in a low voice, seeing that she was about to approach the dense forest, she thought for a while and asked: "Thanks to the adult's leadership this time, I still don't know the adult's surname, how to call it?" If...... When she sees her father later, the little girl will need to introduce her father. ”

The road ahead is dangerous and unpredictable, although Daddy already knows the identity of this person.

However, for the sake of safety, if the two sides in the forest really fight-

Shen Shu felt that knowing the man's name, she might be a little more sure in her heart.

The man was asked about his name at first glance, and his steps paused slightly.

He sighed for a while, and turned to look at Shen Shu: "In the small word 'Fengshi', the girl can call me Fengshi." ”

As soon as the words fell, the shadow guard who followed the man looked stunned, looked at Shen Shu's gaze, and showed a little envy.

His Royal Highness is the famous god of war of the Great Zhou Dynasty - King Yi, Chu Yi.

Walking outside, His Royal Highness mostly uses the surname Xiao, so far, except for the royal family, very few people know his small characters.

Except for the emperor and queen, no one is qualified to call his small characters.

This time, in front of this girl, His Royal Highness did not use a pseudonym, but allowed the girl to call him a small character, presumably because he didn't want this girl to think of his identity in the Metropolitan Protectorate.

This girl...... It's really blessed that I have received such a great gift for nothing.

Shen Shu, who was envied by the shadow guard, felt very surprised.

When ordinary people are asked about their names, they only say their names.

And this man didn't mention his name, but only said his name...... It's really weird.

But then, Shen Shu thought of his identity-

It is said that most of the eunuchs who entered the palace were poor people from humble backgrounds, and there were many names of the inner servants, all of whom rose up with the masters.

Just like the one who came to the Metropolitan Protectorate last time to announce the decree, his name is "Maruko".

Although people outside the palace call him "Gong Maru".

But anyone who listens to it will feel awkward.

The man in front of him was so arrogant, he must not be very satisfied with the name in his palace, and he didn't want to mention it to outsiders.

Thinking of this, Shen Shu didn't dare to make a mistake, and called politely and respectfully: "Lord Feng." ”

Chu Yi was not reluctant, and said with his head bowed: "Time is pressing, I will enter the deep forest later, the girl will follow me with ten smoke steps, and I will do my best to protect the girl." ”

When Shen Shu heard him say this, she also reciprocated: "I have a superficial understanding of the poisonous weeds in the deep forest, and if I encounter a poisonous miasma that the shadow guard has not discovered, I will tell the adults in time." ”

Chu Yifeng's eyes flashed slightly, and he looked at her gaze with a hint of appreciation: "Then there is Miss Lao." ”

Shen Shu smiled and bowed her head.

On the way here, she had already thought very clearly.

On that day, in Luozi Cliff, her reaction to the poisonous weeds could not hide from the eyes of this Lord Feng.

This time, he took the initiative to take her to the deep forest, which should also be because she has the ability to distinguish drugs.

Right now, in the eyes of Lord Feng, she and the third brother are both apprentices of the 'Medicine Master', and it is only natural that they will have some ability to recognize drugs.

Shen Shu was also happy that she didn't need to bother to hide it.

In this way, Chu Yi and Shen Shu, escorted by a cadre of shadow guards, performed ten smoke steps and ran towards the depths of the forest extremely quickly.

※

Yunjiang deep forest, located in the southwest corner of the entire plate of Yunjiang.

The continuous Evergreen Mountains and Weiling Mountains meet here, forming a narrow primeval forest valley.

The locals simply called it the Deep Forest, while the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty were more familiar with its other name, the Suoguan Forest.

Lock Guan Lin, as the name suggests, has the meaning of blocking the border pass.

The Changqing Mountains and the Weiling Mountains, with their towering peaks and continuous ridges, are the natural hazards in the southwest of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Located at the confluence of two mountain ranges, the Suoguan Forest is supposed to be an important gateway connecting the inside and outside of the pass.

However, it is the most famous and impenetrable poison valley in the world, and is known as the natural pass of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Because it is shaded by two mountain ranges, there is no sunlight in the lock forest all year round, and the poisonous miasma is dense.

The deeper you go into the forest, not to mention people, even ordinary beasts can hardly survive in the valley.

Shen Shu and his entourage, following the marks left by the shadow guard, followed the light of the wind lantern, passed through a dense forest, crossed a muddy swamp, and stopped in front of a wide stream.

"Master, the mark of the shadow is broken here." The shadowguard, who was exploring the way, turned around and said.
