Minter fell into the forest, fell over the shade of the trees, was blocked by branches in the canopy, and his shoulders tightened, and the whole person was suspended in the air, and when he looked up, it turned out that the cloak was hooked by the branches. He endured the pain of being tightened by the rope on his shoulders with his teeth cracked, and saw that his feet were only three or four meters above the ground, and thick fallen leaves could be faintly seen below, so he took out his hand with difficulty, let himself fall to the ground, and rolled a few times before he stabilized his body. By this time he was exhausted, lying on all fours on the fallen leaves, gasping for air.

Bastard Jada! Didn't you just steal a few documents from him and hide your identity? Do you need to torture yourself to death?! Shoot with a bow and arrow! How many times have you saved him since you've been here for so long? And helped him so much, what a white-eyed wolf!

Minter scolded indignantly in his heart, and suddenly felt a hot pain in his shoulder, and hurriedly opened his neckline to see, it turned out that his shoulder was strangled by a thick blood mark by hemp rope, so he took out the storage ring from the bracer guard, took the wound with a cuffle, and then lay back.

The sky is getting brighter and brighter, and the sunlight shines through the layers of branches and leaves, sprinkling into the forest, making the things around gradually clearer. Minter felt his strength regain a bit before he got up and looked around.

It was a large dense forest, and the trees grew tall and large, with dense foliage, and it looked like evening in broad daylight. There was a thick layer of fallen leaves on the ground, more than half a foot thick, so he would be unharmed when he fell down just now.

It didn't seem to be dangerous, but Minter was relieved, and walking in such a forest reminded him of the time when he played in the groves and elven forests near his house, and he was in a good mood. Suddenly feeling a little cool on his body, he looked down at himself, only to find that his clothes had been scratched by a branch, and he hurriedly looked for a replacement of clothes in the ring.

Suddenly, he heard a slight rustle approaching him, and hurriedly stopped his movements, turning into an ice sword alert. The rustle was getting closer. He heard that it was coming from under the layer of fallen leaves, so he hurriedly jumped away, and the ice sword stabbed in the direction from which the sound came, only to see that the pile of fallen leaves moved, and then it was silent, and after a while. There was a smell of blood.

He used his ice sword to pick open the fallen leaves, and found that it was a black snake, with a bright red ground tumor on its head, which was obviously highly poisonous, and he couldn't help but gasp.

It seemed that he was rejoicing too soon, in such an inaccessible dense forest, any danger was possible, not to mention that the area here was only about ten square kilometers. Jada's kind of meticulous guy will definitely send someone to find him before he's really dead, right? It's safer to get out of here early.

Think of it this way. He didn't even bother to change his clothes, drank a bottle of magic to replenish his strength, and walked out in the direction of the rising sun. If he remembered correctly, there was a road out of the valley to the east of the forest, and there was a slum there, and further on, there was the main road at the foot of the palace mountain.

Along the way, he picked off a dozen poisonous snakes and avoided a few leopards. Seven or eight huge rats were stabbed to death, and by the way, two rather fat hares were struck down and stuffed into rings as reserve food. This dense forest is rich in products, but unfortunately he has to hurry up, so he has to give up those precious magic materials.

But. This dense forest also hides a lot of dark things. Minter went all the way. More than one white skeleton was seen half-buried in the pile of fallen leaves. Among them, there are broken hands and legs. There is a ground where the thoracic bones are blackened. There are earthly bones though they are broken. But there was a rusty dagger in the ribs. Many of them were wearing floor clothes. Despite the decay. But you can still see the face and the gorgeous pattern. Minter only inspected a few. He recognized that more than half of them were nobles. There were also a few palace guards.

Look up at the sky. Through the layers of shade. He still made out the outline of the mountain. and a meandering promenade in the middle of the mountain.

Will it be thrown from that kind of place?

Look at some wine vessels, swords and other miscellaneous items scattered around. Minter already had the answer in mind. Ignore it. Walk straight out.

Before noon. He finally made it to the edge of the jungle. Looking ahead, Iide Taniguchi. He was overjoyed. I want to go out. But I felt the ground shake slightly. Busy leaning down and listening. Recognized as the sound of horses' hooves. And it's coming this way. Busy looking left and right. I found a tree with the largest canopy. Quickly climb up and hide.

It didn't take long. Then a group of horsemen rushed into the valley. Spread out. Minter recognized Jada as the leader. There was also a Sargent behind him. I couldn't help but cry out secretly.

Seeing that Jada ordered his soldiers to search the forest, the soldiers turned over and dismounted, and led the horses into the dense forest with knives, only ten meters apart from each other, as if they were planning to start a carpet search. Sargent said a few words to Jada, but seeing that the latter was just looking ahead, he did not respond, so he led the horse into the forest as well.

Taniguchi was left alone, and he sat on horseback, his eyes staring straight in the direction of the forest, unable to see what he was thinking.

Minter was a little depressed, this person has not left, how can he leave?

Although he was anxious, he carefully kept his breath silent and remained motionless, lest he be discovered by Jeda.

After a full two hours, Jada remained at the mouth of the valley, and Sargent ran out of the forest, reporting loudly: "I can't find it, it must have fallen somewhere deeper!" How can you still be alive if you fall so high? Go back, sir, and don't waste any more time here! ”

Jada pursed her lips tightly, and after a long time, she said, "Keep searching!" ”

Sargent had no choice but to persuade again: "I'll take someone to search, you better go back, there are still a lot of political affairs waiting for you to deal with today." Do you have to abandon government affairs for the sake of such a traitor? ”

"Who said I threw it away? I'll get it done. Just do what I tell you to do!" ”

Sargent sighed, "You better go back first, or you will order the soldiers guarding the city gates and various checkpoints to pay more attention to them, so as not to let suspicious people pass." If Minter was really alive, he would have to flee back to China, and he might have an accomplice. ”

Jada squinted and thought for a moment before nodding and riding away.

Sargent watched him go away, breathed a sigh of relief, looked back in the direction of the dense forest, but snorted coldly, and re-entered the forest.

Wait until the surroundings are completely silent. Minter slid gently down the tree, crept to the mouth of the valley, and looked outside for a few moments before exiting.

Jada listened to Sargent's advice and returned to the foot of the palace and gathered another group of soldiers. He went to search all over the city of Normonka, and he himself stood guard at the eastern gate of the city, staring at the people leaving the city with his two eyes, and the hearts of the people were furious, and the soldiers guarding the city gate did not dare to ask the people for money without permission, but collected the toll tax in a regular manner.

After staring at him for a long time, Jada noticed that many people were afraid to walk in front of him, and cowered outside the doors of the shops near the city gates. Whispering, the captain of the city gate team trembled and suggested that he should go to the nearby tavern to rest. He frowned, knowing that his face frightened others. He had no choice but to move towards the door of the tavern so as not to disturb the people, but he was helpless to hear a burst of obviously relieved voices behind him.

He suddenly felt a little funny, and looked back, but when those people saw him, they all lowered their heads and didn't dare to make any more moves. Jada laughed again, feeling a little bored, and was about to walk towards the tavern when a somewhat familiar figure swept over the corner of his eye. He turned his head sharply and immediately ran over and grabbed the man's arm vigorously.

When he looked closely, he was disappointed. It wasn't Minter, just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, and at first glance she looked a little like Minter, but if you looked closely, you could see that her hair was linen, a little lighter than Minter's brown hair, and her eyes were amber. Apparently two people. She was dressed as a Normenka civilian, with two inconspicuous patches on her clothes, and she was driving a carriage with half a cart of goods in the direction of the city gate with a whip, and she was suddenly startled by him, so she looked at herself with tears in her eyes: "Old... Sir, what do you command? ”

Jada let go of her hand in disappointment and waved her casually, letting her go. The girl timidly drove the carriage forward, and looked back at him from time to time. Then he bowed his head in fear. The gatekeepers saw it clearly. She was also shocked to see that there was another pedestrian after her who had been mistaken by the Duke. They were all curious, and they didn't know who the Duke was looking for. At this time, the girl trembled and handed over the pass, and they only cared about watching the development of things, and casually glanced at her, and let her pass.

Even the Duke who was looking for someone was sure that she wasn't, so they naturally wouldn't do anything more.

Jada recognized the wrong three people one after another, and the anger in his heart grew stronger and stronger, could it be that Minter really died in that dense forest?! He didn't believe it, how could that cunning man die so easily?! Damn, he still has a lot of government affairs to deal with, why waste time here?! When he finds someone, he will definitely dismantle the other party!

He turned sharply and was about to ride back to the palace, when a man appeared from beside him and saluted him. His horse neighed a few times, and then calmed down, but did not kick the man. He thought something was surprising, and looked at the man carefully.

I saw that the man took off the big hat on his head, revealing a familiar face: "Good day, Your Excellency, I think, you probably already know who I am, right?" ”

Jada looked at him, sneered, condescendingly, and said arrogantly: "I really didn't expect you, Mr. Heda, to have such a down-and-out time." ”

Dressed as a civilian, Espalau didn't feel sorry at all, but smiled faintly: "It's true that my situation is not good, that's why I came to you." Your Excellency, I am sure you already know a few of the proposals I have written, but I wonder if you will give me a chance to serve you? ”

Jada snorted coldly: "Don't think I forgot, you were someone's subordinate not long ago!" ”

Esparo spread his hands: "I am just working hard for my own goals, originally I thought that the prince could help me, but now it seems that I was obviously wrong. He bowed again, took a step forward, and whispered in a voice that only Jada could hear, "You are the true king, and as long as you nod your head, I am willing to offer you all my wisdom to help you acquire any land on this continent." ”

Jada raised an eyebrow: "Your wisdom? As far as I know, you're a loser at East. ”

A hint of anger flashed between Esparo's brows, but he quickly hid it: "No one is perfect. Because I am strong in power, I am not good at power struggles. But that doesn't mean I don't have wisdom, for example, His Excellency Xiao Tianjian, the famous epic hero of the country, is a genius, but he is also not good at political things, which is known to everyone in the whole continent, isn't it? ”

"Oh? It makes sense," Jada pondered for a moment, then smiled, "Then you can try, but I have something to say ahead, if you are useless, I will never take waste!" ”

Esparo bent down deeply, in submission. No one saw the haze flashing in his eyes at this moment. A generation of great nobles like him actually bowed his head to a milky boy who had not dried up, and one day, he would come back with revenge! As long as his plan succeeds...

But he didn't expect that Jada, who was high in front of him, also had a plan in his heart: Prince Mario's father and son died unexplained, which was the knot between himself and his uncle, this person had disappeared before Mario was arrested, maybe it was related to the mysterious explosion, and it may even be the real murderer who killed Mario, leave him first, see what he wants to do!

The two of them had their own calculations, but they didn't notice that the girl at the gate of the city had long since disappeared.
