Chapter Twenty-Seven: Nectar is Intoxicating

Zhang Junwu hurried to Huangzhai non-stop, and the entourage on the way roughly talked about the situation in Huangzhai. Huangzhai is located in the southeast corner of Taizhou City, different from the dry climate of Taizhou, where the dense forest and the weather is more humid, and people have built a village according to the deep forest, where the living conditions are so good that people from the surrounding villages want to live.

Over time, there is also overcrowded, which makes the people of the primitive Huangzhai dissatisfied, one day, I don't know who it is, actually set fire to the forest in front of the village, the people in the village found it early, and the village was preserved, but the forest turned into ashes, and the people there had no source of livelihood, so they moved away one after another. Later, it became the residence of some wanderers, and the people in the place were so complicated that people did not dare to approach it easily.

When Zhang Junwu heard these situations, coupled with what the woman in red said when she was walking, he was really worried about Lu Xi's safety, and when he thought of this, he couldn't help but kick the horse's belly a few more times, speeding up the process, and the original journey of a quarter of an hour took half the time.

When I arrived at the gate of the village, the wall made of loess was already dilapidated, and there were gaps in many places, and weeds still grew on the gaps. That doorway can't actually be called a "door", it's just a wooden stick tied together. Cluttered personnel? Zhang Junwu couldn't see people coming in and out at all, and he couldn't even hear the footsteps inside, he raised his vigilance and signaled the entourage behind him to find the highest place in the stockade to cover him, he was going in. The retinue was instructed to tie their horses to a hidden place and sneak into the wall, looking for the highest point where they could counterbalance the enemy.

Zhang Junwu began to walk into the village, it was indeed empty, and the people who went first had found the highest place, which was a lookout, and this lookout could see the movement of the entire village. Zhang Junwu looked at the scattered roads and didn't know how to get started. The people on the lookout used gestures to guide, because he saw someone tied to a pillar in the center of the stockade, and the distance was a little far, and he couldn't see it clearly, so he could only guide Zhang Junwu to that place to see.

Zhang Junwu saw the guidance gesture, so he walked over, and sure enough, he saw Lu Xi tied to the central pillar in an open square-like place. Zhang Junwu motioned for the man to hide, and after observing the surroundings himself, he stepped forward. Lu Xi was still unconscious, so he quickly untied the rope tied behind him and put her down.

He pinched Lu Xi's mouth hard, trying to wake her up, and after a while, she began to regain consciousness and slowly opened her eyes. Zhang Junwu thought that it should be okay now, but he didn't know where a burst of smoke came out, wrapping the entire square layer by layer, so that the entourage on the lookout could not see the situation there clearly.

Lu Xi and Zhang Junwu, who had just woken up, were stunned by the smoke like this, and this smoke was an unexpected surprise sent to them by the woman in red just now. Originally, it was just to delay time, but she thought it was too boring, so she added more ingredients. The timeliness of this material is limited, about a quarter of an hour, although this quarter of an hour is not a long time, but the two people trapped in the dream seem to have spent several years.

This smoke is called "nectar" and can lead people to a place called "Love Valley". People who enter will think that they really live there, but as soon as the effect of the medicine has passed, they will immediately break away from this realm of nothingness.

Lu Xi and Zhang Junwu, who entered the "Love Valley", were enjoying the hospitality of the people in the valley at this time, and there was no difference between the valley and this Huangzhai, and it could even be said that it was Huangzhai. "Nectar" can restore the place where people are, making it completely unclear whether it is reality or illusion.

The "Love Valley" is full of flowers and trees, and the residents of the valley are in pairs, whether they are young men and women or the elderly. Zhang Junwu and Lu Xi were surrounded by this group of people, and sent the most beautiful wine and food, the two seemed to be really lovers with a strong affection, and there were thousands of threads of affection between their eyebrows.

The two were entangled in the mist, but the entourage was in a hurry, seeing the fog rise, after observing that there was no danger around, they quickly ran to their side by taking the observed shortcut. The two of them were already unconscious, but their breath was still stable, indicating that there was no major problem. The retinue had to take the two of them away from this dangerous place as soon as possible, and then launch a signal pill to get the support of the nearby secret guards.

The secret guard came quickly, there was only one person, and the two of them were moving, but Zhang Junwu and Lu Xi both woke up.

"How long has it been?" Zhang Junwu was most concerned about how long they were in danger.

"About a quarter of an hour. Is there nothing abnormal in the eldest brother's body? The attendant hurriedly asked.

"No, let's hurry back to the city, I'm afraid something will happen." Turning to the guard, he commanded, "You'd better go hiding." ”

"Yes." The secret guard immediately returned to his usual hiding place in addition to Huangzhai.

Although Lu Xi woke up, the scene in the illusion just now was too real, and she had not usually been exposed to these love things, so she was still a little immersed in it. Zhang Junwu is different, he is usually used to seeing these things in the wind and moon, although he can't control himself when he is in the illusion, but he clearly knows that it is an illusion, not a real situation, so he detached quickly.

"Second Miss, let's go." Zhang Junwu was about to pull up Lu Xi, who was still on the ground, and he had already stretched out his hand.

"Oh, good." But the outstretched hand immediately sobered up, "No, I can do it myself." Then he quickly got up at his usual pace, and hid the slight shyness he had just had. Although Zhang Junwu saw the unnaturalness on Lu Xi's face, he pretended not to notice it, and still had his usual face.

The three of them rode back to the city quickly, and there were still things in the city that needed to be found out urgently. Yuan Ke was also restless in the inn, although Yuan Xu had returned, Lu Xi had not returned, presumably it was the "masterpiece" of the group of people outside the city. Although he wanted to help, he was always afraid of dragging Zhang Junwu back, so he could only stay in the inn.

It's been a quarter of an hour since Yuan Xu came back, and there hasn't been any news, and even Yuan Xu, who was a little absent-minded just now, opened his mouth to ask, "Where did Sister Lu go, why haven't you come back", Yuan Ke was even more worried. Fortunately, half an hour later, the three of them appeared safely at the door of the inn, and Yuan Ke was relieved.

After arranging Lu Xi, Zhang Junwu and Yuan Ke couldn't wait to communicate the situation between the two just now. Zhang Junwu immediately sent someone to the family that held the wedding banquet in the morning to find out the news, and the piece of paper he ordered to check before leaving also had traces, saying that it was made by a person named "Yunge", but what Yunge did has not yet been found.
