Chapter 157: The Empress

By the way, there is also Baili Tianqi.

He was affectionate to poetry before, and he married to the city, knowing that my life would not last long, I don't know what kind of expression it would be.

He should have left after Xuanyuan Chen took me away, after all, he was such a thin and cool person, and inviting a concubine must be just a gimmick.

Xuanyuan Chen lowered his head, looked at me for a while, and reached out and gently stroked my eyebrows, "Little girl, you like to frown since you were a child, like an adult full of worries." ”

I chuckled, "I wasn't a kid either. ”

He chuckled and leaned over and kissed me on the forehead, "Well, it's not a child, you're an adult, go to sleep." With that, he closed his eyes and unconsciously patted me on the shoulder.

I couldn't laugh or cry, this body was already in full swing, and he coaxed me like this, he really treated me like a child......

However, if possible, I really don't want to grow up, and that's it, and that's it.

I smiled slightly, closed my eyes, and soon fell asleep. When I woke up, the warm sun was already rising outside the window. Xuanyuan Chen had already woken up, looking at me with his head on his arm beside him, a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes full of fine sunlight.

"Wake up." He smiled.

"Hmm." I answered.

The host's family didn't know when the breakfast had been cooked, a big table full of chickens, ducks and fish, the little girl Ling'er didn't seem to have seen such a sumptuous dish, she had been hiding in the crack of the door to peek, the black grape-like eyes seemed to fall into the dishes, Xuanyuan Chen thought it was interesting, so he hugged her over to eat together.

Before leaving, Xuanyuan Chen went back to bed in the name of leaving something, and put some silver money in the thin quilt......

At about an hour, everyone left the village and officially set off for Maoyan Mountain.

The village is not far from Maoyan Mountain, and it takes half an hour to reach the foot of the mountain. Xu is the folk rumors are too violent, the government actually ordered people to set up barriers at the foot of the mountain, and horizontally blocked dozens of thick wooden signs, on which were written with vermilion lacquer warning sentences: The mountain talc is dangerous, and idle people are not allowed to enter the mountain.

That vermilion lacquer Xu is not written for long, falling on the card bright red and bright red, coupled with the rumors of this mountain provoke people to think, look at it, the depths of the mountains and forests are silent, that lush and green, there is really a feeling of deep mountains and old forests, compared to the Ji Ge Mountain that has been there, it is also about the same.

We hid our horses in the two forests on the side, spared the obstacles, and prepared to go up the mountain.

"Hey, you're going up the mountain?"

Suddenly, a voice sounded, and when I looked back, there was a smiling bright man standing not far away, this person was wearing a shabby beggar clothes, with a delicate complexion and neat sideburns, it was the light boy who had cheated the silver yesterday.

"You kid, you dare to show up!" Donghu's face turned black all of a sudden.

The man smiled and said, "What did Brother Tai say, the so-called enemies are easy to solve and not easy to knot, you want to go up the mountain, and I just want to go up the mountain, why don't you take a companion, let's go together." ”

Donghu's face darkened, "You're embarrassed to say that you want to go with us!" ”

The man smiled, looked at me and Xuanyuan Chen, and said, "The so-called brothers in the four seas, we met one after another, it was really fate." Since you're on the way, let's take a companion.

Besides, I didn't follow it in vain, I have a map of the appearance of the mountains, which I bought at a high price, don't worry, this map, I definitely don't ask you for money, and I won't sell your recipe anymore, take me, what's the matter? ”

How......

It's not bad at all, it's really a big forest with a lot of birds, and everyone has it......

I don't want to talk nonsense to him, so I turned around and left, Xuanyuan Chen bent his lips slightly, and followed me to protect him.

The man seemed to be about to follow, but was stopped by Donghu and the two guards, he was a little unwilling, and shouted with his feet crossed, "Hey, hey, hey!" Don't go so fast, my name is Qingge, I'm quite capable, let's make friends......"

I listened from afar for a while, and did not look back, and after a while I left him behind, until I was far away, and Donghu came up to report that he had seen him go up the mountain from another road.

Xuanyuan Chen answered, and everyone hurried forward.

This was originally a good place for outings, the road up the mountain, the surrounding scenery is very quiet and beautiful, along the way there are a lot of ancient pavilions and stones, there are beautiful seal carvings on the pillars of several pavilions, which should be left by some literati. I'm curious, but also go up to the taste, there are a few people's poems written really well, the words are also beautiful, the so-called big hidden in the city, in the market, there are really a lot of literary and strange people.

The mountain road is not as flat as the ground, go forward for a few hours, everyone is a little tired, it is almost noon at this time, the forest is also stuffy, Xuanyuan Chen ordered everyone to rest for a short time, and then I sat on a clean velvet grass, took out the first picture given by She Ming and studied with me.

This map is not large, but the location area drawn is very large, the map is divided into two dark shadows, the deep shadow part is the place where the spirit fox may be active, and the shallow shadow area extends from the mountainside to the top of the mountain. There is a possibility that there will be a spirit fox in these places.

The mark on the map is simple, but the spirit fox is a living creature, it can run, jump and move, such a big mountain, I am afraid it is a little difficult to find.

Xuanyuan Chen looked at the map and pondered for a while, then pointed to this stream and said, "Turn over a mountain in front, it is the place where there are traces of its activities in the map, there is a stream here, it is better to follow the stream and start looking for it." ”

The stream he was referring to, right in the middle of the dark shadows, was the only source of water in this picture, and no matter what kind of animal, it always had to drink, and it was always right to follow the water source.

Although the Gu on my body stopped the poison, but after I killed Ke and used my strength, the Gu worms seemed to have a strange commotion, and they had been beating the same for a long time at noon and midnight in the past few days.

I don't know much about Gu anymore, I really don't dare to use my power without authorization, if I let Gu have a change, I'm afraid it won't be good.

Unless I have no choice, I can't use my strength to search for the spirit fox anymore.

I nodded, "That's all, but this stream is full of thorn bushes, and I'm afraid that there will be snakes and insects, so you must be careful." ”

Xuanyuan Chen naturally said yes, the two of us studied the map again, and according to the habits of the fox, we deliberately circled a few key locations to look for.

And kung fu I suddenly remembered my little brocade civet, it was so laborious to find a spirit fox in the mountains, the brocade civet was so small, and it was the same color as the snow, he helped me catch one, I don't know how much effort it would take.

My heart warmed, and I smiled slightly.

"Little girl, what are you smiling at?"

I shook my head, he unscrewed the cowhide water bag and came over, I took a sip, and when I saw that he was staring at me, I asked him what was wrong.

He didn't answer, just smiled lightly from his waist, took out a bamboo pot, unscrewed the lid and said, "It's cold in the mountains, make an exception today, let you take a sip, not a lot, just one sip." ”

I didn't doubt him, so I took it and poured it, and the strong fragrance of violet flowers came from the end of my nose, and I was in a trance for a while, and I couldn't even smell whether it was wine or flower wine.

For no doubt, I had to pretend to be choked, covering my lips and pretending to cough, Xuanyuan Chen hurriedly came over to help me stroke my back, I peeked to see, there was no different color on his face, it should be, I didn't find anything.

"Let's hurry." I say.

He nodded, twisted the bamboo pot, a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes, and was about to pull me up, but his hand suddenly stopped.

"Who!" Xuanyuan Chen looked sideways in a cold voice, and a group of guards got up immediately, formed a fan shape to protect us, and showed their weapons to defend us.

"I, it's me, don't be nervous!" A hand was stretched out in the slanted grass, and then the man with a big smile stood up.

"Hey, hey, hey...... It's me, ...... empress."

Donghu had a big head for a while, "Why are you again, why are you keeping up again!" ”

He smiled bitterly, "I really didn't follow you on purpose, you can also see it, I just walked from a different way, but I walked around, and I came here." You can't stop me from walking......"

That's the same, this mountain is not our home, forget it, ignore it.

"Let's go."

"Hmm." Xuanyuan Chen answered, escorting me and about to move forward, Qingge immediately said, "Hey, don't go yet, I have something to say." ”

Without waiting for us to reply, he hurriedly said, "Since you want to hunt the spirit fox, it is recommended to take me with you, I am a good hunter, and I can help you a lot." ”

Donghu saw that Xuanyuan Chen and I didn't speak, so he snorted, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry to invite you." ”

This time Qingge shook his head, "It's not a joke, you can't do it without me." ”

As he spoke, he untied the blanket behind his back and revealed the contents one by one.

Hunting clips, nets, pockets......

This guy really has a lot of stuff with him.

It seems that he is also coming for the spirit fox.

Seeing that I was silent, Qingge gritted his teeth and took out a green pill from his arms, "See, this is the Miscellaneous Flavor Pill, which contains precious herbs, which is exactly the taste that Linghu likes." With it, we don't need to look for the spirit fox, the spirit fox will find it by itself. Wouldn't it be a lot easier?

I'm very sincere, I'm willing to share this thing, so let me follow,"

"What, let him follow?" I glanced at Xuanyuan Chen.

The person on the other side was from an unknown source, and his words were even stranger.

It doesn't matter if I don't know the enemy, not only is it a little squirrel, a little poor, but it also seems to be quite thick-skinned.

But......

Except for being a little difficult, he doesn't look like a bad person at all. Moreover, I actually think that this person's personality is a bit like Rong Ziyang when he was a child.

There will not be only one spirit fox in this mountain, and when the time comes, when the fox nest is found, everyone will take what they need.

Why don't you let him follow?
