Nanchuan County, which should have belonged to King Qi's takeover, is jumping at this moment.

In the city, soldiers went in and out of the place to look for the figure of the king from house to house; Outside the city, several columns of cavalry crisscrossed the wilderness, searching for traces.

In the palace, General Du sat at the long table with a gloomy face, staring at his henchmen with red eyes.

"Is this your foolproof?"

"The subordinates are incompetent, I didn't expect that King Qi had already noticed the people we had planted, and arranged more than ten suspicious people to disperse our troops......" The henchman was very distressed, he knew that King Qi was famous for his intelligence and the whole country, so he laid a net of heaven and earth, and the arrangements were also careful and detailed, but in the end, people still ran away.

"Unexpected? Originally, as long as you catch King Qi and then set up a crime casually, you can give the top an account, but now I didn't expect it, you and I are in big trouble! ”

General Du's words made his henchman's legs and stomachs cramp, and he begged in panic: "General! You can save me! ”

"Save you? Who's going to save me? I can't protect myself now! General Du said and slammed his fist on the table: "We...... Just leave it to fate! ”

……

Mu Junwu walked forward in the forest, Hua Rou followed a zhang away, Mu Junwu stopped, Hua Rou also stopped, Mu Junwu left, Hua Rou also left, her eyes kept staring at Mu Junwu's back, for fear that she would lose him.

And Mu Junwu completely ignored her following, as if he was alone, walking and stopping at his own speed.

In this way they kept walking through the mountains and woods, and she followed them during the day; In the evening, when he went to the brook to draw water, she nibbled on the wild fruits she picked on the road to quench her thirst; Late at night, when he went to sleep in a tree, she sat under it, staring at him like a leopard guarding its prey.

Whenever she dozed off sleepily, she tugged at her thigh twice, then stood up and started walking back and forth, or bouncing on the ground. In short, she didn't let herself fall asleep, she knew that as long as she fell asleep, she would definitely lose him.

Hua Rou is not afraid of surviving alone in the woodland, as a child who grew up in the mountains, the woodland reassures her, but she swore to the corpse of the pillar, she promised to protect this master for him, so she must follow him, not to mention that the poison on this person's body has not been removed, she is worried that he will encounter danger when he attacks again.

She naively thought that if she followed him, he would always pay attention to herself, but she found that she was wrong, this person was hard-hearted and cold, and he didn't care about her at all.

Mu Junwu was always silent, ignoring, and indifferent.

Not only did he never say a word to her again, but he never looked at her again.

A few days later, in the evening, they came to the stream.

Mu Junwu seemed to be tired, so he rested against the trunk of the tree early, and after hesitating for a moment, Hua Rou broke a few branches, took out a piece of clothing from the baggage, and walked into the stream.

Downstream, she pressed her garment with a stone, tied it in a knot in the water, tied it into a pocket, and propped it up with a folded branch to form a sack resembling a fish basket.

Then she went upstream, and slapped the water, and picked up some rocks to smash into the water to frighten the fish, forcing the panicked fish to flee so that they could fall into the trap she had laid.

Her scaring movements will naturally disturb Mu Junwu. But he only opened his eyes and looked at her for a moment, then turned over and fell asleep, and did not take the opportunity to leave, which reassured Hua Rou, who paid attention to his movements from time to time.

As luck would have it, she caught three fish, let go of the youngest one, and Hua Rou washed the other two with a dagger, and then lit a fire to grill the fish.

After a while, the aroma rushed into his nose, making Mu Junwu, who was already asleep, open his eyes and sit up, and then he changed his position and prepared to continue sleeping.

"Gollum ......" He ignored her, but his stomach couldn't help but scream when he smelled the aroma, and Hua Rou came to Mu Junwu with a grilled fish and a treasure: "Brother Gongzi, I'm baked, you can eat one!" ”

She smiled and handed it over, but in exchange for Mu Junwu turning his head and ignoring it.

Hua Rou was very embarrassed, she squatted beside him for a long time, and the fish waited for it to be cold and didn't wait for him to take care of her.

Hua Rou stupidly carried the grilled fish back to the fire, at this time Mu Junwu sat up, in Hua Rou's expectant eyes, he picked up the water bag and drank a few sips, then closed his eyes and rested.

Hua Rou sighed in disappointment and ate the fish silently.

In the middle of the night, Mu Junwu slept on the branch as usual.

Hua Rou also kept under the tree as usual, holding her burden and looking at him.

But she hasn't rested much in the past few days, she is getting more and more difficult to support, she sleeps badly, she stares at it without paying attention, and then she wakes up again, looking at the tree vigilantly, seeing that Mu Junwu is still there, she breathes a sigh of relief, rubs her face vigorously, pinches her legs, and wants to stay awake, but after a while, she squints again......

After coming and going a few times, she fell asleep completely.

When her tired little snoring sounded, Mu Junwu rolled over and jumped down from the tree with a harrier, glanced at the grilled fish by the fire, swallowed his saliva, and quickly left.

Hua Rou slept soundly, and it wasn't until the sky was white that she woke up contentedly with her mouth smacking.

Then, she saw that there was no one in the sky above the branches, and immediately got up and looked around, but where was the figure of the man?

"Why did you leave me, you haven't solved the poison yet......"

She was annoyed and speechless, but it was useless to complain, she had lost the man who ignored her.

……

The sun is rising in the east, located in the palace of the king of Chu in Changsha Mansion, and a very important court meeting is being held at this moment.

This is the first court meeting since the death of the first king, the second son Ma Xisheng ascended the throne of Dabao, so the envoys of the various jurisdictions and important ministers were all present.

In the simple and solemn council hall, more than ten important ministers lined up on both sides, looking respectfully and solemnly at Ma Xisheng, who was sitting on the throne, looking at him expressionless and complaining calmly.

"After the death of my father, thanks to the assistance of all the important ministers, Lone can inherit the will of his father, prosper and re-engage in business, and today Lone is ...... with all ministers."

"Urgent!" A shout outside the hall interrupted his complaint, and Ma Xi's unwavering voice suddenly turned into displeasure, and he stared at the outside of the hall with a frown, as if he was very mindful of being interrupted.

Zhao Jichang, the chief eunuch standing beside him, immediately rushed out, and came in again after a short time, his face was very ugly.

"King Qiyu, General Du Jie of Nanchuan sent someone to report the ...... in a hurry for 300 miles."

As soon as Ma Xisheng heard Du Jie's name, he involuntarily stood up, he knew that the moment he had waited for had come.

"What?" He asked aloud excitedly, his voice a little sharp.

Zhao Jichang glanced up at Ma Xisheng, and then bowed down and reported: "King, pray that King Qi is missing!" ”

"What?" Ma Xisheng looked stunned and froze in place, and the hundred officials were also shocked at the moment.

King Qi is missing?

He went to Nanchuan County with a guard of honor to take office!
