The people walking on the road were the most obscured, and when the entire palace was worried about the alliance between the Hosdu Empire and the Fox Hill Kingdom and the Nanqing Kingdom, Chu Ci, who should have been planning far-sightedly, didn't know it, and was still worried about the dead branches and rotten leaves.

"It's just dead leaves, isn't it that scary?" Yan Li turned his head and crossed his waist, and he was full of heroism in a strong outfit, but he looked so elegant that he was almost weak.

"Miss Yan, this is contempt!" Bounced away a half-yellow and half-green wet leaf on his shoulder, Chu Ci smiled bitterly and touched his neck, "Even if it is a poisonous snake that climbs on the body, there is nothing to be afraid of, just drive it away, what is really scary is that you have a problem, and it is not so easy to solve it as if you bounce it away." ”

Yan Li seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and his eyes swept over the pale red on Chu Ci's neck before he suddenly realized: "Are you allergic to things like dead leaves?" ”

"Well, it's okay to say, I'm most afraid of that kind of wet rotten leaves, once it touches the skin, it will cause a rash, and it won't work if you take any medicine."

The Monan area is humid and hot all year round, and the leaves in the mountains and forests are inevitably covered with rain and mist, and it is impossible to avoid them. Yan Liwu knew how painful allergies were for allergic people, and seeing that the back of Chu Ci's hands, cheeks and other places were already red marks, he hurriedly took out a round and flat iron box from the small purse on his waist and threw it to Chu Ci: "It is an ointment for mosquito repellent, you apply some on the skin, how much can you isolate contact." ”

"It's a doctor, and even this kind of thing will be carried with you." Chu Ci took the box and said with a light smile.

"I didn't prepare it." Yan Li shrugged his shoulders worriedly, with a faint smile on his cheeks, "Moqing said that there are many insects in the mountains here, and few will not be bitten, so I specially found this ointment for me to bring this ointment this morning." ”

"So, the prince did come to Demon Mountain?"

"How do I know? He never said those things to me. After saying two words, he was surrounded by Chu Ci, and Yan Liwu hurriedly avoided it, racking his brains but couldn't guard against the temptation that came at some point.

Should I let Chu Ci know that Wen Moqing wants to help Wen Moshu? Yan Liwu, who didn't know much about the insiders, didn't dare to make a conclusion, and simply didn't see Chu Ci's questions, and the conversations along the way often appeared abrupt and intermittent - but this is not the most difficult, the most difficult thing is the weather in Monan.

In fact, since entering the dense forest at noon yesterday, the area they have walked through the mountains and mountains all the way belongs to the scope of the demon mountain, and it is a humid mountain forest with dense leaves covering their heads and not seeing the light of day.

Yan Liwu grew up in the north with four distinct seasons since childhood, and the most unbearable thing is this kind of hot weather, and he asked Chu Ci with great expectations, but the answer he got was that such a mountain road may have to walk for a day or two.

"The last time I came to Demon Mountain, I was stopped when I only walked to the foot of the outer mountain, and I didn't know the specific location of the main mountain, so I ...... Miss Yan, let's save some effort and work hard to climb the mountain. Looking at the initial enthusiasm and fighting spirit, but now he is depressed and tired, Chu Ci still smiled elegantly and decently.

In the memory of Yan Liwu, Chu Ci seems to have always been showing people with an elegant and calm image.

"What is the reason why Young Master Chu can't enter the Demon Mountain? You are not related to Junzi Lou. Yan Liwu asked suddenly.

"Miss Yan doesn't have to think too complicated, I really have nothing to do with Junzilou, although the owner of Qiulou once invited me to Junzilou to study chess, but I only have an interest in passing the time for that thing, yes and I didn't agree." Lightly brushing aside the relationship between himself and Qiu Shuishui, the corners of Chu Ci's lips curled slightly, "Actually, the reason why I can't enter the Demon Mountain is very simple, in addition to rejecting the Junzi Building, the Demon Mountain is also very disgusted with foreign races - Miss Yan looks at my eyes, is it easy to see the difference between the people of Dayuan?" ”

Chu Ci's eyes were slightly blue, not the black or brown common to the people of Dayuan, obviously with alien blood, if the demon mountain also has restrictions on aliens, Chu Ci is indeed unbearable.

"So, where is Gongzi Chu from?" The second question is raised without moving.

Chu Ci stood still, stretched his waist idly, and his long narrow eyes narrowed slightly towards the mottled shadow: "Etiquette is still exchanged, Miss Yan wants to find out the secret, should she also give Chu some sweetness?" That's good, I can answer Miss Yan's question, but in exchange, Miss Yan also has to answer my question truthfully, so okay? ”

Sure enough, it is an old fox, he will never do loss-making business, and the true character of a profiteer and Jun Wunian have to fight.

After a short period of slander, Yan Li nodded worriedly: "Anyway, all I ask are some irrelevant questions, if Gongzi Chu wants to exchange, he must have something that is not difficult to answer, so that it is fair enough." ”

"Whether or not to answer Miss Yan is the decision, it is not necessary to answer." Chu Ci suddenly chuckled, and looked at Yan Li with a meaningful look, "I found that Miss Yan was the same when she was by His Royal Highness's side, and when she was next to the prince, she was different, if neither of them was there, Miss Yan would have a different appearance." ”

Yan Li frowned: "Do you mean that I am different from person to person?" ”

"Miss Yan thinks a lot, I just think that Miss Yan is more independent now, and she does things neatly and freely, rather than following others to hide her elegance. Just like this mountain road, since we entered the mountain, it has always been Miss Yan who opened the road in front, if the son of the world is here, then Miss Yan will only follow silently behind the son, right? ”

Chu Ci's answer made Yan Li stunned slightly, she never thought that her every move would have so much to say, let alone pay attention to what was the difference between Wen Moqing and when she was away.

"Miss Yan has a different brilliance on her, and one day you will find it."

The vague evaluation made Yan Liwu more and more confused, and before he could ask a question, Chu Ci suddenly raised his finger and stood on his lips, closed his eyes after a gentle shhh, and tilted his head slightly as if he was listening carefully. Yan Liwu tried to learn from him to hear, but he couldn't hear any strange sounds, only the rustle of the wind blowing through the woods.

"It's light, not like the footsteps of an adult." After a while, Chu Ci slowly opened his eyes and pointed to the front right, "There is someone over there, you can go and ask for directions." ”

It is not a good decision to take the initiative to contact outsiders in the demon mountain that rejects aliens, and after simply looking around at the location, he still agreed to Chu Ci's proposal - for two people who don't know the road and can't even tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, and have been wasting most of the day in the mountains and forests, it is more important to find out and understand the direction of progress than anything else.

Who made her and Chu Ci both road idiots?

Following the direction pointed by Chu Ci, the two of them accelerated their pace and walked forward for a full quarter of an hour, and sure enough, they found a figure by a spring, and as Chu Ci said, it was a girl with very light steps.

"Who are you?" The girl in the dyed blue cloth was about seven or eight years old, and she didn't look afraid of life, and when she stared at Chu Ci, her round face showed a hint of surprise, "You, don't enter this mountain, the old monster mountain god will be angry!" ”

"The mountain god won't be angry, I'm here to see him - you see, the eyes are sick here, that's why they became this color." Chu Ci bent down and leaned in front of the girl, pointing to his eyes and pulling a big lie.

Yan Liwu rolled his eyes, it was more important to find the old monster for medicine, so he could only pretend not to see Chu Ci's behavior of deceiving the child.

The girl seemed to have very little contact with outsiders, and was suspicious of Chu Ci's words but did not show hostility, and when she heard that the two of them were lost in the mountains, she kindly pointed in the direction, and then lowered her head and seriously rummaged through the bushes.

"What are you looking for?" Yan Liwu was about to leave, but seeing that the girl was struggling to find it, he subconsciously looked into the basket on the ground. The basket contained some berries and tuber roots, and a few green and red wild fruits could be seen sporadically, and Yan Li was worried and winked at the girl playfully: "Wait, I'll help you find some good ones." ”

As soon as the words fell, he stepped on the trunk of the tree with one foot and borrowed his strength again, and in the blink of an eye, his body jumped to the top of the ancient treetop two people high, and when he turned around, a green and green leaf fell, and the slender figure in a sassy suit also stood back in place.

Before he could dust off the remnants of his clothes, he stretched out his arms and hung down to the bamboo basket, and several fist-sized wild fruits fluttered and fell into the basket.

"The treetops are ripe, crunchy and juicy, and they don't have a sour taste, and they're much bigger than those that were born underneath." Lifting the basket and handing it to the little girl, Yan Liwu smiled brightly, "Even if it's a thank you gift for asking for directions." ”

The little girl didn't come back to her senses for a long time, and only when she picked up the wild fruit bigger than the palm of her hand did she exclaim deeply: "What a big fruit!" ”

From beginning to end, Chu Ci stood aside and said nothing, and at the end, he raised his eyes lightly: "When did Miss Yan learn kung fu?" If you are a prince, you shouldn't have much time to teach it yourself, right? ”

"I learned from the books." Yan Liwu patted the dust on his palm, pretending to be careless.

Indeed, the first person who let Yan Li worry practice martial arts was Wen Moqing, but the real leap forward in martial arts was when Yan Li Wu was in Qixian Mountain, and now Yan Liwu's skills are inseparable from Tong Ruchu's careful advice. In the past, Tong Ruchu, who was the chief general of the women's army, was dead, and there were very few people who knew the semi-remnant hermit on the top of the fairy mountain, and even in the gentleman's building, there were only a few young masters who knew the inside story, and Wen Moqing and Qiu Shui tried their best to hide the facts and tranquility, and Yan Liwu didn't want to be known by outsiders, and he didn't want to see Tong Ruchu's quiet life disturbed.

Chu Ci shrugged his shoulders slightly, and his elegant smile remained unchanged at all: "Ask casually, Miss Yan doesn't have to be nervous - whether it's the secret of the Junzilou or the secret of the prince, Chu has no intention of snooping, but he is just surprised by the speed of Miss Yan's kung fu progress, if you don't know, you think that Miss Yan already has a very strong foundation." ”

Yan Li's heart was shocked.

In this way, Wen Moqing seems to have said it, and it is counted by Wen Moqing as one of the proofs that she is not the Qinglian King himself.

The surprise that flashed on the beautiful face naturally did not escape the fox-like eyes, Chu Ci picked out a green wild fruit from the basket held by the little girl and took a bite gently, closing his eyes as if enjoying it very much.

"It's a little jerky, but the sour taste is very appetizing, and that year the emperor got a box of Fanbang Qi fruit, which tastes a little similar to this fruit. I still remember that the first emperor specially asked people to send me a few, who knew that the little eunuch who gave the fruit was clumsy, and when he walked to the lake, his feet slipped and almost fell, if it wasn't for the passing Qinglian King to help, maybe I would not have been lucky to eat so tasteless - by the way, at that time, the Qinglian King's movements were lighter and faster than Miss Yan's! ”
