Chapter Eighty-Three: The Forbidden Land
Zhu Yuan finally agreed to let the scholar paint a portrait, but she insisted on refusing to build a temple.
Because it's so weird!
She is alive and well, and she doesn't want to be enshrined at all.
Ning Bosheng's merits in Taihe were gradually spread.
In the early dynasty, the emperor was overjoyed and praised Ning Bosheng's merits without hesitation, saving the lives of the people of Taihe.
The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty naturally did not go to the head at this time, and echoed the emperor's words, and almost piled up all the good words on Ning Bosheng.
On the other hand, Ning Boyu, even if he is above the court, he is transparent like a background board with no sense of existence, and no one pays attention to him.
When he went down, Ning Boyu walked fast. The officials who were closer to him on weekdays trotted up to follow, "Lord Wang, are you going to drink today?" ”
Ning Boyu's face was all black and dripping ink, where could he care about drinking, and he walked faster after refusing,
When I returned to the house, I had a lot of fire, and then I gathered the door in the study with red eyes.
"If the matter of Taihe is discovered by Ning Bosheng, this king will kill you waste first!" Ning Boyu was also furious at the doorman, and no one dared to step forward to offer advice.
He scolded for a long time, and said with a hideous face, "You have a great credit, it depends on whether you have the life to come back and enjoy it!" There was a sparkle of murderous intent in his eyes.
The more cautious doorman hurriedly stopped, "Lord Wang, don't do this!" ”
"Get out!" What answered him was Ning Boyu's anger and being thrown out of the study.
Ning Bosheng waited until the situation in Taihe was stable and sure that there would be no more riots or starvation to death before he planned to leave the place.
I don't know who leaked the news, when they left, all the people sent each other, the mighty long line, and Zhu Yuan's nose was a little sour when he saw it.
"Zhu girl, you saved our lives, we have nothing precious to repay you." Several refugees walked up to Zhu Yuan and handed her a basket containing some brightly colored fruits.
"We picked it up ourselves, and left it for the girl to quench her hunger and thirst on the way." Although it is not precious, but the courtesy is light and affectionate,
Zhu Yuan had also been in Taihe for a while, and had never seen this kind of fruit, so he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Where did this come from?" ”
The refugee smiled shyly and answered her truthfully, "It's in a dangerous place, it's a forbidden place for us, and it's inaccessible. ”
It must have taken a lot of effort to pick it up, and I really like this thank you gift.
But forbidden land? She was also curious.
Ning Bosheng asked for her, "Why did it become a forbidden place?" ”
"Five years ago, there was a guy who went to that place and never came back." The refugees fell into remembrance, "Later, many people went to look for them, and many people disappeared one after another, and slowly, that place became a forbidden place." ”
"It's a pity that such a delicious fruit has become a forbidden place." Zhu Yuanting likes wild fruits, which are sweet and sour in his mouth, as well as rich aromas, and he has eaten several of them unconsciously.
Ning Baibei saw that she was eating too delicious, so she urged Zhu Yuan to give her one, and the basket of fruits quickly bottomed out.
Seeing that they all like to eat, the refugees couldn't help but be happy, and they couldn't hold it when the conversation box was opened, "It's a pity for us, although the terrain is dangerous, it won't kill people." I don't know what happened to those who disappeared. ”
There was curiosity in Zhu Yuan's eyes, and there was eagerness to try. Ning Bosheng naturally saw it, thinking that there was no need to rush back to the capital, even if it was okay to take a look.
He took the initiative to ask the refugees, "Where is it?" ”
"From here, it's about ten miles to the east." After the refugee finished speaking, he became worried, "The prince and Miss Zhu plan to go to the forbidden land?" ”
"You can't go, there are ghosts in the forbidden land, and they will eat people." Desperately trying to stop it.
Ning Bosheng didn't believe in ghosts and gods, and made up his mind to go.
Zhu Yuan was not afraid, and turned over to comfort the refugees, "It's okay, there are many of us, don't be afraid." ”
"Moreover, you also took the risk to go to the forbidden land to pick fruits and give them to me, and in return, the prince and I went to help you catch ghosts." Zhu Yuan said a lot of comforting words, and he barely reassured a few refugees.
Zhu Yuan smiled and asked Ning Bosheng, "Lord Wang, when will we leave?" ”
"Anytime." Ning Bosheng followed her ideas.
The guards around them heard the conversation between the two, and the fear of the refugees just now. I don't want my prince to be in danger, "Lord, if a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall, you have to think twice." ”
Both the doorman and the guards are dissuading them.
Zhu Yuan suddenly felt as if she had become a bewitching queen in their eyes, she put aside the strange thoughts that popped up in her heart, and asked the most noisy doorman, "Sir, don't you think that in this place of Taihe, a forbidden place suddenly appeared, and the people did not dare to go, isn't this very abnormal?" ”
"If the girl wishes to know what is going on in the forbidden land, we can just go and check it, and we don't have to bother the prince to go in person." The guards just didn't agree with Ning Bosheng's involvement.
Zhu Yuan was given a headache by what they said, and she was stubborn and had nothing to say, so she could only ask Ning Bosheng, "What does the prince think?" ”
"Check it out."
"Lord, let's just go." The guards disagreed.
Ning Bosheng glanced at them lightly, not angry.
The guards didn't dare to object anymore, but the worry in their eyebrows couldn't be dissipated.
Ten miles to the east, the road is not far, and it will not take long to arrive. The scenery here is very beautiful, with green trees and brightly colored wild fruits that Zhu Yuan has just eaten.
Zhu Yuan took a deep breath of the fragrance in the air and looked at the empty place around him, "I didn't find anything abnormal, how could it be listed as a forbidden place?" ”
Ning Bosheng also looked puzzled, but along the way, it was overgrown with weeds, and it was indeed sparsely populated.
"Go further." There are rocks in front.
The guards were at the forefront, with great caution at every step, especially when they were in the midst of the rocks, they did not dare to laugh, and everyone had a look of vigilance on their faces.
"Be careful!" There was an exclamation from the front.
Zhu Yuan felt the ground tremble, his face turned pale, and the whole person kept falling.
Zhu Yuan felt a pair of warm hands holding her, and the whistling wind made her unable to speak, so she could only close her eyes tightly.
Fortunately, there was another person next to him, and Zhu Yuan didn't feel scared.
At this time in the capital, Ning Boyu had already sent a killer out. However, he still sat in the study uneasily, and the doorman who knew the inside story comforted, "The prince doesn't have to worry, the place where we train the troops is secret, and it won't be discovered by others." ”
"What about the vanished silver taels? If Ning Bosheng caught a clue, he would definitely check it. A cold look appeared at the corner of Ning Boyu's mouth, "It's best to succeed in killing him this time!" ”
