Wearing a gouache skirt personally selected by Long Yucang early in the morning, the wind and Huanling among the emerald trees are still blooming in the flowers in the green bushes, and the jade tree with a cold palace dress and a deliberately restrained atmosphere is almost integrated with the verdant mountains.

Yushu said: "Princess, before coming out, the prince specially confessed, don't strayed into the 'Lost Forest', even the people who live on the mountain all the year round may not be able to get out if they go in." ”

"Where's the Lost Forest?"

Feng Huanling just wanted to avoid people coming out to relax, he had no purpose, and he heard Yushu say that Long Yucang specially told him not to go, but he became interested in the "Lost Forest".

"Actually, the specific location of the slave maid is not very clear, only I heard that it is in the northwest of the back mountain." Yushu raised his hand and pointed in a direction, "I heard that when the emperor was in power, he came to the summer palace one year to escape the summer, and there was a lady who never came out because she strayed into the Lost Forest. ”

Feng Huanling has also heard about this matter, it is said that the first emperor Emperor Jing has never set foot in the summer palace again, and Long Jingming said that the emperor has not come to escape the summer for many years, which should also have something to do with the death of the concubine.

Despite this, she continued to walk towards the Lost Forest in the northwest direction, and Yushu had no choice but to continue to follow when she saw this.

The sunlight in the jungle was sifted into a little bit, so it was difficult to distinguish the time clearly, Feng Huanling only felt that he had been walking for a long time, and couldn't help asking: "Yushu, we have been walking for so long, why haven't we seen the boundary monument of the Lost Forest?" ”

Long before the emperor's concubines hid here, the Lost Forest was the forbidden place of the summer palace, and later a boundary monument would be set up every 100 steps to enclose the entire strange forest, so that the uninformed would not stray into it. Feng Huanling originally just wanted to see this forest with too many stories and secrets buried outside the boundary monument, but seeing that the road in front of her had become a little unusual, but she had not yet seen the boundary monument that warned outsiders to step in, she couldn't help but panic a little, wondering if she had strayed into the Lost Forest without knowing it.

"The slave and maid are also thinking strange, don't it happen that the boundary monument on the road we are walking on has been accidentally damaged by someone or some fierce beast?" As Yushu spoke, his always indifferent and cold face was also a little more worried, "Princess, why don't we turn around and go back, it's already close to lunchtime, if the prince can't see you go back to eat, just be afraid of being in a hurry." ”

Feng Huanling nodded without objection, but when the two of them turned around and walked out for about half an hour, they were sure that they had lost their way, and they were afraid that most of them were trapped in the Lost Forest.

"I heard that after the emperor learned that Concubine Ai was missing, he sent a team of more than 100 elite soldiers into the Lost Forest to search, but no one came out after ten days. It was only since then that this forest became a truly forbidden place, and even if no one was sent to guard it, no one dared to step into it easily. ”

Yushu stopped first, and looked around coldly, only to feel that they had been standing still for the past hour, and they couldn't get out of this seemingly ordinary but strange forest no matter what.

"Since you can't go out, don't waste your efforts, sit down and rest for the time being, since this forest has 'swallowed' hundreds of elite soldiers, I'm afraid that in addition to the formation that confuses people, there are also extremely fierce beasts."

Seeing that there was a boulder under the thickest tree in the forest, Feng Huanling walked straight forward and sat down very calmly without brushing off the moss on it.

"The princess doesn't seem to be in a hurry or scared at all." Yushu was slightly surprised, "Oh, the slave understands, the princess must have thought that the princess would come to save you no matter what, so she was so calm, right?" ”

I don't want Feng Huanling to shake his head, "I have never hoped for my safety on anyone else, no matter when or what the situation is, only self-help is the most effective and reliable way." ”

Yushu asked: "But these hundred elite soldiers have not been able to get out of the place, how can you and I get out with just the two of us?" ”

Feng Huanling didn't answer and asked, "Do you have fireworks with you?" It was the kind of fireworks that Luo Xian had put into the sky to attract reinforcements when he was robbed on the mountain before, and it conveyed a distress signal. ”

"Yes."

Yushu answered and took one out of his arms, and the injury was about to be released, but he didn't want to be snatched away by Feng Huanling.

"It's not the time yet, it's more effective to wait until it's dark."

Feng Huanling looked at Yushu with a smile, her gaze seemed to be as indifferent and gentle as usual, but Yushu had a feeling that she was seeing through in an instant.

"Princess, what are we going to do now? According to the slave, until we find a way out, it is safer for us to stay here. Although it makes sense for the princess to save herself, the slave feels that according to the princess's concern for the princess, it is better for us to wait for the prince to save her. ”

Yushu didn't sit on the big bluestone with her master, she just stood next to it, even if there was a big tree behind her that was thick enough for five people to hug, she didn't rely on half a point, and still straightened her back.

"Oh? How much do you think the prince cares about me? ”

Feng Huanling still seemed to be smiling, but there was a faint dark tide quietly circulating under his eyes.

"At least the slave has never seen him care so much about anyone since he followed the prince. According to the prince's temperament, I am afraid that the princess will always be so cherished, and it will not fade after a long time like other men. ”

Yushu narrowed his eyes slightly, and did not make eye contact with his master's too clear gaze.

"Really? I once thought that there would be a man who would treat me consistently well and always care about cherishing, but the reality is often not as good as I imagined, and after all, I saw that nothing in this world can be truly eternal. ”

Feng Huanling also withdrew his gaze to the jade tree, and turned to look back at the big tree behind him that was more than a thousand years old, and his delicate white palm slowly caressed its rough torso.

The gray and rough trunk of the tree lined her with a delicate white and delicate appearance.

"It's like this big tree, even if it has survived for tens of millions of years, as long as it continues to grow, it will inevitably wither and wither. It is like water, if it flows, it will eventually flow away, and if it is stored in a square inch, it will inevitably run out and dry up eventually. And the fish living in the water, even if they were willing to feed each other for each other's lives, but after all, they could only watch each other die when they left the water. ”

Feng Huanling slowly looked up at the canopy of the tree, and vaguely saw that on the leaves that were slightly transparent by the sun, the veins seemed to show a light red like human blood.

Is it the midday sun that is too strong and dazzles her eyes, right?

"People only live in a hurry for a hundred years, and the time that two people can be together is only a few decades at most, but even if it is only a few decades, there are too many things that cannot be dodged and resisted, and it will eventually consume all the ...... that once cared about"

Retracting his somewhat astringent and painful gaze, Feng Huanling gently closed his eyes, but he saw the pair of fish in his heart that were dead in square inches more and more clearly.

Feng Huanling, who was trapped in the Lost Forest, had not yet had time to wait until it was dark to release fireworks for help, and the secret guard who was responsible for secretly following him, after the first few brothers lost contact, he realized that they had strayed into the Lost Forest, and looked back carefully, and sure enough, he found that there were traces of destruction in several places where boundary monuments should have been placed, so the secret guard immediately returned to Fengyi Pavilion to report.

Just after noon, Long Yucang first came to the Lost Forest with Lang Zhongling Nangong Anye, and took a hundred forbidden troops to the outside of the Lost Forest.

"Lord, the last time the first emperor went to the summer palace, he was accompanied by Weichen, and at that time, in order to find Concubine Li, he sent a hundred elite soldiers of the forbidden army into the forest to search, but no one came out."

Nangong Anye frowned, he naturally knew how much King Cheyue cared about the princess, but looking at the Lost Forest that had devoured his hundred brothers, he was also quite helpless.

"Everyone, cut down wood in a group of ten, and this king will completely destroy this man-eating forest today!"

Long Yucang's eyes were slightly red, making his moon-like aura add a little fierce aura, as if it was thousands of enemy troops that he wanted to slaughter, not just a forest.

"Lord, the emperor also issued this order back then, but these trees are very strange, one by one as if they were made of fine iron, even if they are the best weapons that cut iron like clay, it takes a day and a night to cut down the thinnest tree. If you really want to cut down this Lost Forest, not to mention whether there are so many sharp blades available, even if everyone cuts it down without sleep, I am afraid that the princess will be in it......"

Seeing that King Cheyue's face was too frightening, Nangong Anye's voice gradually weakened until he swallowed the remaining words back into his stomach.

"The reason why this forest is so weird is that the demon on the left side of the door has cast a formation, you just have to obey the logging, this king will go in and meet the demon in person!"

When Nangong Anye exclaimed "No", Long Yucang had already turned into a snow-white lightning bolt, and rushed straight into the Lost Forest alone, even Luo Xian paused for a moment before flying forward to follow. But even if he was only too late for the blink of an eye, he couldn't find the master after entering the forest.

Even though he was worried about the safety of his "cousin", Nangong Anye, who had no choice but to obey his orders, immediately divided the hundred forbidden soldiers into ten groups and began to cut down the ten strange iron trees on the outermost periphery of the Lost Forest from the edge.

Bright and clear, just after noon, when the machetes of the hundred forbidden soldiers were all offered to the trunks of the ten trees, the sky above them suddenly burst into a large dark cloud, and in a short time it covered the sky and the sun, covering the entire Lost Woodland as if it were dark night.

So Nangong Anye let the forbidden army who arrived later light the torches, and the top of the mountain where Long Jingming, who was rushing to this side, was still sunny when he heard the news, and looked at the sky above the Lost Forest as if it was covered with a big iron nest, and naturally felt more and more weird, and the accompanying forbidden army and the palace people were already dumbfounded, and they were stunned on the top of the mountain for a long time before they remembered to continue to move forward.

Feng Huanling and Yushu, who were still sitting under the king of trees in the forest at that time, also noticed the sudden change in the sky as black as ink, and their expressions were all in unison.

The Lost Forest, which was not infiltrated by sunlight, immediately became more and more eerie, and the sound of the wind seemed to provoke a faint ghost crying wolf. As the howling wind grew stronger, the howls grew louder until they were completely out of control and shrill to the point of being so sharp and piercing that the blood in one's chest boiled and the throat was sweet.

Since it was determined that Feng Huanling could use the sword, Long Yucang deliberately made a soft sword with iron like clay and made her belt for her to carry with her, and it happened to be tied to her waist by hand early in the morning.

Therefore, when he realized that the danger was approaching, when Yushu drew his sword, Feng Huanling also clasped his waist and showed the soft sword with one hand.
