Chapter 5: The Dried Corpses in the Miasma Forest
She looked at him in surprise, but he was expressionless and couldn't see anything.
"Oh~ Then do you know what his relationship with King Yi is?"
He glanced at her strangely and replied: "He is the half-father of King Yi, and he was born by Concubine Xiao Shu, and after Concubine Xiao Shu died, he was raised under the knees of Queen Zhou. When I was a child, I had a good relationship, but then I don't know why I got estranged......"
She said in her heart: Brothers and sisters had a good relationship when they were young, and it is very common for them to grow up unfamiliar. But seeing that the two of them are not as simple as being unfamiliar, the nine kings have a straw bag brother, and their tone is full of disdain and mockery, obviously very resentful.
Also, the mother of the Nine Kings is surnamed Xiao, what does it have to do with Xiao Zheng? She was thinking about asking this question, Xiao Zheng seemed to see through her thoughts, and replied, "Concubine Xiao Shufei is my aunt!" ”
"Ao~ No wonder, so you and Jiuwang are also cousins~" There is still half a sentence she didn't say: But your relationship doesn't look very good!
A trace of hatred flashed in Xiao Zheng's originally calm eyes, which was fleeting, and she caught this information thoughtfully.
Send Xingrou to a place half a mile away from the camp, and Xiao Zheng will go back to recover his life.
Xingrou jumped off the horse and handed him the reins, he took the rope and suddenly said to Xingrou: "Be careful of King Yi!" ”
She looked up at him suspiciously, and if she was not mistaken, there was a hint of concern in his eyes, and then he looked at him again, and he had regained his calm complexion.
At this time, the sky was already bright, and Ah Jun should have woken up. Xingrou hurried towards the camp, and as soon as she reached the gate of the camp, she heard that it was like a pot exploding inside.
She grabbed a soldier and asked, "What's going on?"
"King Yi got up in the morning and couldn't find Miss Wan, so he lost his temper and refused to leave~"
It turned out that Xue Mingzhu was about to continue to hurry as soon as it was dawn, but when Ah Jun got up, he found that Xingrou was gone, and refused to set off even if he died, and suspected that Xue Mingzhu was making a ghost and making trouble in the camp.
She hurriedly ran in, only to see Ah Jun holding a short knife against her neck, and said, "Sister Rou won't go anywhere if she doesn't come back!" ”
"Your Highness!" She shouted hurriedly.
"Sister Rou~" When Ah Jun saw Xingrou, he immediately threw down the short knife and pounced, took her hand and said, "Sister Rou, where have you been?" Scared the hell out of me! ”
He was so scared that his face turned pale.
She was a little moved, and said with a smile: "I'm fine, I can't sleep in the morning and go out for a spin!" ”
Xue Mingzhu said in the words on the side: "King Yi, look, I just said that it has nothing to do with me...... Miss Wan is not an ordinary person, who can hurt her! ”
A team of men and horses set off for Cloud China. There were no accidents all the way, and Xue Mingzhu probably knew Xingrou's identity, and treated her respectfully, without any frivolous actions.
Along the way, Yiwang Ajun relied on Xingrou very much, and she had to make up her mind for everything, sometimes she enjoyed the feeling of being relied on, and sometimes she was very anxious, when will this child grow up? He had to be strong himself.
Xiao Zheng's words would also come to her mind from time to time, she felt inexplicable, Ah Jun is such a weak and helpless, harmless child to humans and animals, why should he be careful? And he is still so dependent on himself, he calls her Sister Rou, he will panic when he can't see her, even if he harms people's hearts, he will never harm her!
It must have been the Nine Kings who deliberately let Xiao Zheng say that in order to separate her and Ah Jun.
However, Xiao Zheng's relationship with the Nine Kings is also very suspicious, he and the Nine Kings are brothers, but he has hatred for the Nine Kings, but he still does his best to do things for the Nine Kings.
Alas~ Why are the people here so strange, she can't figure it out.
Don't care about these for the time being, the top priority is to help King Yi gain a foothold in Cloud China.
Three months later.
There is still a day to go to Cloud China.
Xue Mingzhu received a letter from the high priest, saying that he had prepared to welcome King Yi into the clouds.
King Yi is equivalent to the top boss who parachuted into the high priest, I don't know what the high priest will think, and he is a normal person who probably can't accept it. Cloud China is in a safe corner, has no quarrel with the world, has no ambition to dominate, and no one dares to make an easy offense. Because here, not only is the terrain steep, but everyone is a master of using drugs.
It is said that a long, long time ago, a monarch of Da Yu had been kind to the high priest who was reigning in Yun China at that time, and later the high priest made a poisonous oath to submit to Yun China for generations, and would pay tribute to Da Yu some rare medicinal materials every year, and Da Yu promised to give Yun China permanent autonomy, and the emperor was also good to the high priests of the past dynasties, so for thousands of years, there was nothing to do.
And now Emperor Xiaozong actually divided this place to King Yi, making it clear that he has broken the balance for thousands of years.
There has been no movement on Yun China's side, but the calmer it is, the more strange it becomes. Killing Xingrou also didn't believe it, they would willingly submit to King Yi.
If the enemy does not move, I will not move, and now I can only wait and see what happens.
"Miss Wan, through that miasma forest, you will enter the territory of Yunguo~!" Xue Mingzhu came over to report to her. Along the way, Xue Mingzhu also understood that King Yi didn't have any ideas, so he came to ask Xingrou about everything.
"Miasma is poisonous, do we have any precautions?" Xingrou asked.
"The lowly duty has prepared a medicine towel to cover his mouth and nose, and the medicine soaked in it can relieve the poison of miasma." Xue Mingzhu replied.
"Oh? Where did this medicine come from? Xingrou asked curiously, she didn't expect Xue Mingzhu to think so thoroughly.
"This medicine is an annual tribute from Yun China, and when she set off, Empress Zhou asked her to prepare it."
Xingrou was relieved. This Empress Zhou is really cautious, no wonder she was able to dominate the harem when she was the first emperor. It seems that she is still very attentive to her own son.
Along the way, Xingrou has explored the form of this time and space from Ah Jun and Xue Mingzhu.
What is very bloody is that it turned out that the first emperor Zhan Lingyun was captured, and after Zhan Lingxiao ascended the throne, he actually included Empress Zhou in his harem. Of course, Zhan Lingxiao didn't dare to do such an unseemly thing in the name of it, he first arranged for Zhou Zhen to fake his death, and then arranged a new identity for her. Now she is the concubine of Zhan Lingxiao's harem.
This matter is top secret, and of course the people involved have been killed, and only a few people who are extremely close to him know that Xue Mingzhu is one of them.
Wan Xingrou didn't understand how Xue Mingzhu could tell her such a top-secret thing at first, and later learned that the sister of Zhou Ji, the queen of Zhou, that is, Aunt Ming Zhou Ming, the first female celestial master of the Dayu Dynasty, calculated that Dayu would appear a star girl who stepped on the stars, and the soul of this woman and the soul of Zhan Xianjun were originally one, in short, these two people, in the previous life, they were one person, I don't know why, the soul was divided into two, and this life turned into two, and they are a man and a woman, one strong and one weak.
Zhan Xianjun must find this star girl, and the two of them can be combined in order to stimulate Zhan Xianjun's ability to seal and seal in his body.
"Got it? That star girl is you. "At the end, Xue Mingzhu said.
Xingrou smiled bitterly, it turned out that she still had this effect. However, they may be disappointed, and after Ah Jun met her, his abilities did not seem to have improved. Because she's an imposter in the first place.
Just as he was thinking, there was a sudden commotion in the line in front of him.
"What's going on?" She swept to the front and asked Xue Mingzhu.
"Look!" Xue Mingzhu pointed to the ground in front of him, a large pool of black and red blood.
Xingrou followed the bloodstains, and a person fell to the ground, already a dried corpse. She crouched down and turned over the corpse's face to make it carefully, a member of the advance team that opened the way. I had morning tea together in the morning, but at the moment it has become this weird picture.
"What about the others?" She asked Xue Mingzhu. A total of 10 people were sent out in the morning.
Xue Mingzhu shook her head, her heart sank, they were probably more than lucky.
There are no wounds on his body, what is it that can make him a dry corpse in a short period of time?
