"I had to live in seclusion here with a group of retainers." The old village chief paused, "I'm not afraid of the jokes of His Royal Highness and Chu Niangzi, originally I was just a house slave, but because almost all the adults of the Li family were executed, and the rest were all old and young, Lord Li handed over all the relatives in the family to me, and I fled with everyone to the border between Western Chu and the barbarians to live in seclusion, and there is this village now." ”

The old village chief looked out the window, and there was a trace of melancholy in his eyes, "For so many years, although we have lived a poor but peaceful life, but recently, because of these monsters, young people have to live in the barbarian city in order to save their lives, and there are only some old people left in the village, and they are all former house slaves, and now most of the descendants of Lord Li don't know the history of their family." ”

Speaking, as if because of guilt, the old village chief lowered his head and looked at the tea cup in front of him, silent, Ming Xiu frowned slightly, "The old village chief's words today have been written down." ”

The old village chief raised his head and smiled weakly at Ming Xiu, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is stronger than anything else as long as he can be a generation of Ming Jun." ”

As if sensing Chu Nian's turned gaze, Ming Xiu nodded confidently as a matter of course; "It's nature."

Chu Nian hooked his red lips slightly, and at this stall, he saw the dark three at the door whose entire arm was wrapped in gauze limping in, he greeted the old village chief, and then looked at Ming Xiu and Chu Nian and said, "Your Highness." Lady, what are we going to do tomorrow? ”

When these words fell, the old village chief's inquiring gaze followed, but Chu Nian shook his head and said meaningfully: "I said it earlier, and you will know tomorrow." ”

……

In the early morning of the next day, Ming Xiu summoned more than 100 guards who had not yet had time to leave, as well as four secret guards, and Chu Nian called the old village chief to call out the few strong laborers left in the village, and there were about ten people, among them, including the thin Li San and Sister Li, and the group walked towards the mountain.

It wasn't until he climbed halfway up the mountain that Chu Nian ordered everyone with various tools in their hands to stop repairing, while he and Ming Xiu continued to walk towards the top of the mountain.

This mountain is not very high, but it is not too short, the slope is not steep, it is not too difficult to climb up, the top of the mountain is round, and there are all kinds of trees that cover the sky, Chu Nian and Ming Xiu finally found an open boundary on the top of the mountain, and looked along the gap between the trees, and the half waist of the mountain was filled with misty fog.

There is another mountain on the other side of the mountain, but compared to this green mountain, there is no grass on that mountain, it is bare, and there are a bunch of strange caves in the middle of the mountain, looking from the direction of Chu Nian and Ming Xiu, the cave is pitch black, and nothing can be seen.

Ming Xiu's eyes flickered as he looked at a path that was very rudely opened up from the top of the mountain where the two of them were - this mountain was densely wooded, and it was okay if a thin person walked through the bushes, but if a person with a little wider body was afraid that he might not be able to walk over from the top of this mountain, and the path was facing the bare mountain opposite, and on both sides of the path were thick trees that had been rudely pushed down by something on the side of the road, and at this moment those trees were falling messily on the side of the road, looking inexplicably miserable.

Chu Nian smiled, "Sure enough, it's much easier to deal with monsters that go mad." ”

When these words fell, she immediately looked back, and saw the dark three who came up with her, the dark three opened her mouth, and saw Chu Nian said quickly: "Take people, there, dig a hole." ”

"Digging a hole?" Dark San glanced at Chu Nian curiously, and then let Chu Nian and Ming Xiu look at the depressed path behind them, and swallowed silently, "Okay...... Lady, I see. ”

With that, Dark Three turned to leave, dodged a few times, and disappeared into a cloud of mist.

Only then did Ming Xiu look sideways at the little man who was smiling beside him, "You want to be a trap?" ”

Hearing this, Chu Nian raised his eyes, nodded lightly and said, "It's not good to be hard, you can only outwit it." ”

Ming Xiu's gaze still fell on the opposite mountain with some worry, "But these monsters are infinitely powerful, and their skin is so thick that even the guard's long sword can't pierce it, just a trap, what can you do?" ”

Chu Nian narrowed his eyes and looked up at the half-drooping eyes on tiptoe, "Your Highness is questioning my ability?" ”

The two faces were almost attached to the stall, Ming Xiu suddenly looked stunned, and after a while, he lowered his head slightly, and dropped a kiss on the pair of slightly pursed small mouths, seeing the stunned flash on the little face, this is meaningful and said: "I haven't tried it yet, how do you know." ”

After a long time, Chu Nian realized the meaning of Ming Xiu's words, that is, her face was hot, and in the blink of an eye, she met the pair of eyes full of inexplicable charm again, she coughed lightly, turned around and hurriedly walked down the mountain, "There are still serious things to do, Your Highness don't tease me!" ”

Ming Xiu, who was standing in place, swiped his fingers across the corners of his lips that seemed to be a little wet, and couldn't help but slightly hook up a beautiful arc with his thin lips, and he looked meaningfully at the back that disappeared halfway up the mountainside not far away, and at the end, he let out a sigh of relief and chased after him.

……

By nightfall, everything had been prepared, and last night the guards had been deflated, and with the temperament of those monsters who had gone mad and turned into beasts, they would definitely come back tonight, and they were not afraid that the traps set would be useless.

So tonight, Chu Nian planned to take people to ambush halfway up the mountain, but what could he do, the old village chief wanted to follow, Li San and they were helpless against the old village chief, Chu Nian and Ming Xiu couldn't persuade them, and in the end, they had to decide to ask the dark three and them to wait halfway up the mountain, while they accompanied the old village chief to wait at the foot of the mountain.

Tonight, not only the old village chief was extremely excited, but also Sister Li was generally excited.

On Chu Nian's side, Sister Li was squatting in the grass, and not far behind the stone was the village chief who was forced to sit on a chair and was blocked by the stone, and Li San was also over there at this moment, responsible for taking care of the village chief.

"Finally, finally......"

Sister Li seemed to be muttering something to herself, but because her voice was too small, Chu Nian couldn't hear it clearly, she only felt a fiery light on her side, she turned her eyes, and saw Ming Xiu's indulgent eyes.

"What's wrong?" Chu Nian looked at Ming Xiu, who had been staring at him for almost half the night, with some confusion, and at this point, he saw Ming Xiu retract his gaze, and pursed his thin lips tightly, "It's okay." ”

Seeing this, Chu Nian glanced at Ming Xiu thoughtfully, and at the end, he had no choice but to withdraw his gaze and look at the pitch-black halfway up the mountain with a focused expression.

When the moonlight gradually moved westward, there was finally a trace of movement on the mountain. It was the top of the mountain, and there was a heart-rending roar from the top of the mountain, which almost ran through the entire mountain range, Chu Nian and Ming Xiu glanced at each other, and they both saw a touch of understanding in each other's eyes.

It's a pit prepared on the road that the monsters must pass through in the back mountain.,The pit is not deep.,But it's wide.,On it is the wild grass that specially ordered the dark three to prepare them.,Those monsters can't see anything clearly at night.,Step into it.,There's a wooden cone that has been prepared long ago.,I'm afraid that I'm not going to die and I'm going to peel off the skin.。

When the candle flame that Chu Nian had prepared for the dark three and them lit up halfway up the mountain, Sister Li beside Chu Nian suddenly got up and rushed towards the halfway up the mountain.

With Sister Li taking the lead, the people who were originally hiding behind also rushed out, Chu Nian and Ming Xiu glanced at each other, and they did not hesitate at all.

When Chu Nian and the others arrived halfway up the mountain, there was only one monster left, this monster was bigger than the other four, at this moment he was already covered in bruises by Chu Nian who had already prepared to get the trap, and was chasing the dark three who was scurrying in the forest, and ran around in the forest furiously.

But how could that big guy catch up with the already nimble Dark San? Like this in the forest like a headless fly, it has invisibly triggered a lot of mechanisms, and Chu Nian and the villagers have arranged no less than three hundred small mechanisms on the mountain all day today, and none of them are wasted.

Dark San was very happy at the moment, he looked at the angry roaring monster behind him, accompanied by a grimace on one side, and on the other hand, he drilled towards the other side of the forest, Chu Nian and others on the side looked at the monster tightly, and at the end, they all sighed silently.

"What if such a stubborn character as Dark Three is really planted one day?"

Ming Xiu stared at Dark San's back expressionlessly, "No, this kid is actually very cowardly." ”

As soon as these words fell, he saw Dark San galloping in the direction of Chu Nian and the others, his face full of horror, "Your Highness, Your Highness, that monster is running faster and faster!" ”

Ming Xiu's side eyes gave Chu Nian a look of "look", then he turned around and rushed towards the monster, and the monster was rushing towards the place where everyone was with the action of Dark Three asking for help, and before Ming Xiu rushed forward, there was still a figure eager to try.

This figure is Sister Li, she is dressed up very special tonight - a close-fitting suit, looking like she was picked up from a passing Xichu merchant, the hair that was originally casually tied at the back of her head was also tied up high, and a pair of eyes flashed with a bright light, she took advantage of the stall that everyone was not paying attention to, and rushed over with the kitchen knife in her hand.

"Monster, take your life!"

By the time Chu Nian found out, Sister Li's figure had already rushed under the monster's minions, and Ming Xiu, who was originally facing the monster's façade, suddenly turned pale when he found that the monster's attention was on Sister Li's body.

At this time, the monster's claws were already close above Sister Li's head, but Sister Li was not afraid, she raised her head and laughed at the monster three times: "Monster, you killed my husband and destroyed my farmland, and my family was ruined, I used to be unable to do anything to you, today, I will ask you to pay for my husband's life!" ”

Chu Nian stood in the distance and looked at Sister Li, who was already under the claws of the monster, frowning, and at this stall, he saw the old village chief on the side chasing after him, "Dead girl, you come back for me!" Chu Niangzi, please, can you find a way to bring that dead girl back, if she dies today, I will have no way to explain to Master Li at all! ”

Hearing this, Chu Nian frowned, raised his eyes to look at the branch where Ming Xiu was standing, but found that the person had disappeared, and at this moment, Sister Li was brandishing the kitchen knife in her hand and slashed towards the monster's fist.

The monster's skin was glowing with a bit of weird blue gray, Chu Nian had seen it, and naturally knew that this monster's fist was almost invulnerable, and in comparison, the kitchen knife in Sister Li's hand was extremely fragile.

Chu Nian condensed slightly, and his figure had only taken a few steps forward, when he heard the monster let out an angry roar again, and then, he smashed towards the rear angrily, and the smell of blood that was a little foul around became stronger and stronger.
