Walking in the chaotic stone forest, people can't see the direction, and when you look around, you can see mottled stones.

From time to time, one turned around, and behind the stone pillar lay the bones of a lost man half-buried in the yellow sand.

Nanyang was originally at the forefront, but looking at her boldly, she was particularly afraid of the rotting bones that suddenly appeared, and after walking for a while, she hugged Lin'er and shrank behind Gao Lang and Jin Xiaolou, and drove Chang'an to the front.

To get out of this leopard forest, it takes at least a day and a night, and if you walk slowly, or if you are confused inside, you will not be able to get out for three days and three nights.

As soon as the sky was dark, the thieves who were lying in ambush behind the stone pillars of the shadow were ready to move, and there were ups and downs of danger all around.

Gao Lang found a relatively flat terrain, so that everyone sat down to rest for a while, and ate something to replenish their strength. Because they had to be careful not to expose their location, they couldn't light a fire and ate cold food. Gao Lang took out a sauce cake from his arms and handed it to Jin Xiaolou.

This cake is carefully carried all the way to the chest, with a warm residual temperature, after this day's rush, Jin Xiaolou has already had a sore back, and the wind and sand in the Gobi are like knives, which not only makes people cold, but also makes people hurt.

The warm bread made all the limbs comfortable.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, Gao Lang planned to hurry up and go a little further.

According to the caravan boss, this place is close to the edge of the Leopard Forest, and it is best for them to leave the Leopard Forest and spend the night.

Otherwise, the night is likely to devour all the living creatures in the leopard forest, and the bonfires at night are very likely to attract evil thieves.

As soon as he got up and walked past a stone hill, Jin Xiaolou heard a soft bang coming from behind the stone mountain not far away.

Chang'an immediately drew his sword, and after reaching out and making a gesture, Gao Lang and the four of them stayed in place, and Chang'an alone took the lead and walked forward around the half of the stone mountain.

As soon as he saw Chang'an's figure disappear, he heard a soft shout.

Gao Lang frowned, and hurriedly chased forward, Jin Xiaolou and Nanyang followed.

Walking to the side of the stone mountain, Jin Xiaolou smelled a strong smell of blood, as if the stinky rotten meat was mixed with the fishy smell at high tide, which made people feel disgusting.

With a glance raised, a half-missing man fell behind the stone mountain.

Jin Xiaolou covered his mouth and forcibly suppressed the urge to turn over the river and sea in his stomach.

Looking at the jagged wounds, most of them were bitten by wild beasts.

"Madam, stop looking!" Nanyang stepped forward and helped Jin Xiaolou to walk forward.

Who knows, two steps forward, the scene in front of you is even more shocking.

Dozens of corpses covered in wounds and bloody flesh fell to the ground, so broken that they couldn't even make out their faces.

Nanyang raised his hand to cover Lin'er's eyes, and he also turned his back.

Jin Xiaolou still forced himself to take a closer look, and next to those corpses, there were burlap bags scattered all over the ground, filled with tea leaves.

The tender green new tea rolled in the yellow sand and stones, stabbing Jin Xiaolou's eyes.

"It's them." Jin Xiaolou spoke.

This group of people was the caravan that was walking ahead of them. According to the caravan's footsteps, they should have left the leopard forest early, but they didn't expect them to die here without falling all over.

"They don't know how many times they have traveled this journey, why did something happen this time?" Chang'an muttered to himself.

"I'm afraid that the people who killed the caravan are coming at us." Jin Xiaolou saw that Scar and the fat man also died here, "I want to kill more than one of us, but it's a pity that this passerby doesn't know that we have been separated from the caravan, and they have killed so many innocent lives." ”

Hearing this, Chang An squinted, squatted down and carefully examined the wounds of the deceased: "It's an arrow wound, but it's a pity that the arrow has been pulled out." In addition to the arrow wounds, there were several knife cuts on each person's body, and it seems that after they shot someone, they were still not at ease, and they also approached and made up for a few knives. ”

"Looking at the thickness of the knife, it doesn't look like a rogue committing a crime, it is indeed as Mrs. said, he came prepared and killed everything." Chang'an swept around, "Most of them are the queen's people." ”

Gao Lang nodded.

Indeed, if the rogues must have come for the goods, but now the goods are not lacking at all, and these people are only here to kill people.

The people of the fifth child will be more cautious in doing things, and they will definitely find out if the person to be killed is not in the team before they start, only the queen, only she will order to kill, and the people under him will act according to orders, so naturally they will not leave a living mouth, and they will talk about it after killing.

"They missed a single blow, I'm afraid that they will linger around here and attack again, Seventh Master, for now, let's get out of here as soon as possible." Chang'an rushed to Gao Lang.

As soon as Gao Lang nodded, Jin Xiaolou frowned and said, "If we die here, not only do we not have to go to Jiang Hui, but we can also escape their next pursuit." ”

"Madam, what nonsense are you talking about!" Nanyang was in a hurry.

Gao Lang stared at Jin Xiaolou for a moment and motioned for Jin Xiaolou to continue.

"Don't worry." Jin Xiaolou went to Nanyang, "I mean...... Suspended animation. ”

"Fake death?" Nanyang raised an eyebrow.

"That's right." Jin Xiaolou slowly arrived, "There are men and women in the caravan, and now they are all unrecognizable, if we change them into our clothes, then the other people who want to attack us are afraid that they will mistakenly think that we have died here." ”

"But ......" Nanyang was a little apprehensive, "Where else can we go if we don't go back to Jiang?" ”

"Go to Gongbian." Gao Lang raised his head and looked ahead with bright eyes.

Hushan is now in Gongbian, although he has been withdrawn from the military power, but he can defend the frontier on the front line, and there are some cronies and soldiers around him, and there is hope and hope when there are soldiers in his hands.

At present, the twelve princes are about to ascend the throne, and he is still young, so he must be listened to by the queen.

The harem interferes with the court, after a long time, it will definitely cause controversy, the twelve princes are not the queen's biological sons, but I am afraid that the queen will be even more reluctant to let go at that time, and the two will have a disagreement.

In addition, the five princes are still watching aside.

In the future, the dark tide in the capital is surging.

If Gao Lang "died" on the way to the west, it would be great news for the people in the capital.

For Gao Lang himself, it is a good time to hibernate and recuperate, just wait for the surging tide in the capital, he and Hushan's wings are full, and the east mountain will rise again.

Going to Gongbian is really beneficial and has no disadvantages.

Gongbian and Jianghui are both bordered by Xiyu, if you want to go to Gongbian, you have to go back to the Mihe River and go south.

"But ......" Nanyang looked at the corpse on the ground, still a little hesitant, "Will they believe it?" ”

After all, these people in the caravan, if they took off their robes and examined them carefully, they would definitely be able to tell that it was not the Seven Princes and their party.

"If they don't believe, they have to believe." Jin Xiaolou smiled slyly, "If you can't complete the task above, you will return home, and if you meet the master, you will be in a bad mood, and if you don't get it right, you have to lose your head, so it's better to make a mistake." ”

At the moment, they chose the four bodies closest to the four of them, and after changing into the clothes in the baggage, Jin Xiaolou and his party walked back in the dark, because it was the way they came, Chang'an had already remembered it, they didn't even fight the fire, just touched the stone pillar.

Except for the occasional wolf howl, there was no danger along the way.

Also, who would have thought that the person who was waiting would turn around and walk back?

It wasn't until dawn that they left the leopard forest and returned to the banks of the Mi River.

Lin'er slept soundly in Nanyang's arms, Chang'an called the boatman, crossed the Mi River, and went straight to the southwest.

……

As soon as the day dawned, seven sturdy black-clothed men jumped down from the leopard forest stone mountain.

The black-clothed men had been waiting all night ahead, but no one came, and they couldn't wait now, so they looked back and expanded the scope of their search.

Who knew that as soon as he arrived near this stone mountain, the man was stunned at first.

Yesterday evening, they ambushed this caravan here, but when they finished shooting and went down to check, they found that the Seven Princes and their entourage were not inside.

But looking at it at this moment, there were four people in the caravan wearing the robes of the Seven Princes and his party.

For a moment, he even wondered if he was dazzled, rubbed his eyes, and after making sure that his eyes were not dazzled, he jumped off the stone mountain at the moment, and ran towards the four corpses without even having time to catch his breath.

When I got closer, I saw that it was the same as the Seven Princes and his party, but it was just a child.

"Boss, what's going on?" The people behind were puzzled, "Killed by someone else?" ”

"Are you blind? It's the guy we killed last night! The person in front frowned, "You can't recognize you when you change your clothes?" ”

"That'...... Didn't the Seven Princes have already run away? The person behind him was a little anxious, "The master can let go, either take their heads back, or carry our own heads back......"

"Panic what!" The first person turned around, and his cold gaze swept over the people who followed him one by one.

The six people behind him are all the henchmen he has cultivated.

None of them wanted to die.

"If you don't say it, I don't say it, who knows who died?" The first person gritted his teeth, leaned down, stabbed one by one, and cut off the heads of the four people, "Bring the box, and send it back to the capital quickly." ”

He expected that since the Seventh Prince had come to change his clothes, he had decided to fake his death and live incognito. As long as the Seven Princes don't appear again, what's the difference between that and death?

"This ......"

"What this, this!" The person in front was furious, "Even if we don't do it, the people who come behind will think that the Seven Princes are dead when they see the scene in front of us, and it is better for us to swallow it ourselves than to be robbed of the credit by them." ”

"Yes!" The people behind him said in unison, "The Seventh Prince is dead, we have all seen it with our own eyes!" ”
