Chapter 307
At three o'clock, in the morning mist, a blazing sun rose, sprinkled with golden fragments.
King Jin and they encountered a cobra last night, so they decided to trim it, wait for dawn, and wait for the opportunity to move.
Everyone circled around, sprinkled the sulfur powder given by Qing'er, and some medicine powder to disperse rats and ants, and then lay down in clothes, and did not dare to sleep steadily, Changying's vigilance was the highest, and there was a little wind and grass, so he opened his eyes and observed for a while before lying down.
The red sun finally jumped out of the horizon and scattered its golden light on the earth, and they basked in the sunlight only to realize that the darkness was finally far away.
After eating some dry food and drinking a few sips of water, they sorted out their clothes and belongings.
Being able to see clearly in the daylight also means that the other party can detect their arrival.
Mu Qing got up early to wash, and Zi Yuan brought breakfast in from outside: "Miss, Zhu Gongzi asked someone to pass the word, we have to weed and catch insects outside today, so that you don't have anything to do out of the yard." ”
The seeds that had just been planted were about to do this, and Mu Qing had a question in his mind: "Ziyuan, you watch quietly, don't let people find out." ”
In Zhu Rancheng's house, more than a dozen people who followed him all entered Beijing to wait for his order: "I really underestimated them, they came in so quickly, the hole was not opened, it seems that they came in from the river, pass my order, open all the traps in the valley, and since they are willing to come to death, then give them a ride." ”
Zi Yuan overheard it at the root of the window, and hurriedly went back to tell Mu Qing, "Since they are here, let's be calm and wait." ”
"Shall we go out and help them?" Zi Nan pondered.
"How can I help? We are not even familiar with the terrain here, and we don't know anything about the mechanism, let alone help, and even we will have to get into it ourselves, won't we make trouble for them? ”
"What Ziyuan said makes sense, let's just wait, the War King will definitely find us."
In front of him, the tassel gauze tent is layered, the smoker in front of the bed is made of gilt, and the colorful porcelain vase in the corner of the wall is inserted with bright flowers.
A gentle voice sounded in his ears, and Zhu Rancheng looked straight at Mu Qing's black eyes that were close at hand, reflecting her eternal shadow.
"What a beautiful scenery here, we will live here in the future, tonight, let's get married, and I will be good to you for the rest of your life in the future."
Zhu Rancheng swore an oath, but Mu Qing disagreed: "Cousin, I once remembered that when I was in the north, the queen mother wanted to marry me to you, but my aunt repeatedly shirked it. ”
"To this day, I am really puzzled by my cousin's move." Mu Qing's straightforwardness caught Zhu Rancheng off guard.
"I really didn't have this heart for my cousin at the beginning, as for when it started, I thought about it, it should be from my cousin who ventured into the mountains to collect medicinal herbs for me, and at that time, I realized what kind of person I want to be with in this life."
Mu Qing's face was ugly, and even a little inexplicable: "Cousin, you are revenge, I saved your life, but you want to do everything possible to break me up and the war king, not to mention that the people who came to rescue me today were the people who collected medicine for you in the first place, what is the difference between your behavior and villains, and I will never be with villains." ”
Mu Qing is twenty-eight years old, with exquisite facial features, elegant dress, fair skin like the first snow in the sky, eyes as bright as stars in the night sky, and a calm and steady flow from his body, which makes people feel good just by looking at it.
"What my cousin said is very true, but I did something like a villain, and I was ashamed of them, but I had to do it, I want to get you, and I will not regret it until I die."
The back of his departure made Mu Qing feel a decadent powerlessness, if men and women were trapped by love, maybe it would be the current one, and there was no reason at all.
The scorching sun in the afternoon was shining, scorching the King of Jin and them, all sweating, but they turned around in this bamboo forest for a long time, and they couldn't get out at all.
Mu Ningyuan sat down: "There is a maze here, no matter how we go, we will return to the same place." ”
The third prince was a little gasping when he spoke: "Yes, you can see the way out, but you can't get to the exit, if you are in the old forest, you can still cut a tree to see, and you can also identify the direction, this is a bamboo forest." ”
He was like a punch on cotton, it didn't work at all, Changying and others passed the kettle over, signaling everyone to drink some water first, King Jin's expression was very serious: "It seems that Zhu Rancheng knew that we came in, and don't you remember that we followed a black shadow into this forest." ”
"If the expectation is good, it should be Zhu Rancheng who deliberately led us in, this is his natural magic wand, and it may also be the first level that traps us."
"There is nothing edible in this forest, there is no water source, he is trying to trap us." globe
Changying drank a few sips of water, moistened her throat, and couldn't help but scold: "You were the benefactor who ventured into the mountains to help him collect medicine, he was so wolf-hearted and ungrateful, he was really a beast." ”
Mu Ningyuan squatted down and carefully observed the surrounding scenery, "Do you think that there is a difference in the moss on the stones here, leaning in this direction, the stones are basically clean, and there are many in that direction." ”
The third prince asked in surprise: "What does this mean?" ”
"One side is sun-facing, that is, the east, and the other side is naturally yin-facing, which is west, so that we can discern the direction."
The third prince's eyes lit up, "Smart." ”
Changying was even more admiring and threw herself to the ground: "Mu Gongzi, you are really a god." ”
Without further ado, everyone headed towards the east, really, but a cup of tea walked out of the bamboo forest, and was greeted by grass snakes all over the mountains, each snake was not very long, about less than two meters, the thickness was okay, they spit out the core, and stared at them in a stunned manner.
At the last moment, Mu Ningyuan roared: "Climb to the pillar." ”
Everyone used their hands and feet together, returned to the bamboo forest, and followed Mu Ningyuan's advice to climb to the pillar, "Why don't so many snakes come to the bamboo forest." ”
"There should be something special here, so that these snakes don't dare to come in rashly, but if Zhu Rancheng makes it bad, it is difficult to guarantee that these snakes will not passively get in, or stay on the bamboo safely."
The third prince was quite puzzled: "Why should snakes be afraid of bamboo?" ”
"Hit the grass and scare the snake, the origin of this idiom, also breaks the truth, when the snake is close to us, we shake the bamboo around us vigorously, the sound of the bamboo leaves, will make the snake afraid."
Mu Ningyuan blurted out his own opinions, without thinking, it can be seen that he trusts everyone present, which is quite valued by King Jin, and Mu Ningyuan is also a gentleman.
King Jin took out the sulfur powder on his body, as well as a paper bag from Qing'er: "The sulfur powder is used to drive away these snakes, and what kind of thing is this package, this king forgot, when the princess left, he once explained that when this thing encounters water, it is very powerful, if there is danger on the river, just throw it into the river, we just need to run farther." ”
The third prince came to the spirit, "In other words, as long as we lead these snakes to the water, we can get twice the result with half the effort." ”
Changying disagreed: "We have already retreated from the bamboo forest, is it possible to continue to retreat to the river?" ”
"No, the bamboo forest here grows very well, but we come down from the river, there is still a long distance to here, I speculate, so many snakes are here, and the bamboo also grows very well, which means that there must be a water source near here, Lord Jin, don't you have something to see farther away?"
"That's a thing that came across the ocean from the South Seas, Dark Three, take it to Mu Gongzi."
Mu Ningyuan took it and looked at it for a while, and handed it to Changying: "Your light skills are the best here, bother you, go to the edge of the bamboo forest, take this and look into the distance, there is a water source, remember, don't go down from the bamboo." ”
Mu Ningyuan asked the King of Jin for some sulfur powder and sprinkled it on Changying's body to prevent future troubles.
The bamboo forest covers a large area, from the bamboo to use light power to fly over, breaking the physical strength, fortunately, the long tassel is young, the body is strong, looking down to see the dense grass snake, all stand up, staring at him, is a creepy feeling, faintly feel that the breath is not smooth.
He looked into the distance with a telescope, and sure enough, behind these snakes was an ocean, the river surface was quite large, if you wanted to go over, diving was feasible, but I didn't know how watery these snakes were, thinking of this, he suddenly had a numb scalp, turned around, used the strength to eat, and flew back.
He carefully told Mu Ningyuan bit by bit about the scene he saw, and his reaction caused everyone's scalp to start tingling.
How to lure these snakes into the river is the point, so many snakes will not follow them for no reason.
In the night of the bamboo forest, the twilight field is four, the night breeze blows, the bamboo leaves are blowing, the surroundings are more and more quiet, they come down from the bamboo, the master in the middle of the bamboo forest has been seen, the remaining open space, everyone lit a bonfire, with the cut bamboo to burn the fire, sprinkled a lot of sulfur powder around, used to deal with the grass snake outside.
Haoyue hung high, Mu Qing sat by the door, Ziyuan was so angry that the root of her teeth itched, "Master, we fought with them, and we actually dared to use the strong, do you want the princess to be chaste, and the slave swears to protect the young lady." ”
"I will not marry him, I am afraid that he will threaten your life, so you must leave at once, find a way to hide, and do not come out wherever you are, without my call."
Ziyuan Zinan suddenly realized that Zhu Rancheng was very distressed for the princess, and the princess's weakness was undoubtedly them, and in desperation, the two quickly disappeared into the vast night.
Ziyuan Zinan is a killer trained by Dawn Tower, and his kung fu is still good, and self-protection is still okay. If it weren't for her, Ziyuan Zinan would have left a long time ago, even if Zhu Rancheng tried his best to stop it, it would be in vain, Dawn Tower, the means of finding out the news and escaping, that is a well-known stunt in the rivers and lakes.
