From Bomendu back to Nancheng Capital, you must pass through Ganjiang City.

Wei Xiwan, who returned to the palace to restore his life, and Luo Zhengli and his party of more than 20 people, happened to settle down in the Genjiang City Inn tonight to rest, and then continue to hurry tomorrow.

The more and more intense autumn mood gives a layer of coldness to the city cage in the night, and the wind blows the dead leaves, which is very clear in the silent darkness.

Wei Xi opened the window and looked out, if she remembered correctly, when she first came to Genjiang City as an official of the Dongjiang Kingdom to investigate the drought situation, she settled at the Chengdong Inn two streets away from here.

And the inn where she lives now is where she once fought with her, where another line of black-clothed people in Genjiang City settled at that time, and she didn't know the identity of that group of people at that time, but now that she thinks about it, she is almost sure that those are Wang Chengchen and his party.

This inconspicuous inn is actually an inn dedicated to people in the imperial court. She also remembered the martial arts moves of the black-clothed men who fought with her, and later she had unintentionally seen the guards beside Wang Chengchen, and their body shape and swordsmanship were the same.

In addition, Wang Chengchen did come to Genjiang City during the drought, and met the current concubine Chu Xiangluo here, which is still a good story in Genjiang City.

From this point of view, it turned out that the first time she saw Wang Chengchen in the evening was not in the capital of Beiyu Kingdom, but in this city of Genjiang. Since he could guess that the man in black was Wang Chengchen and his party, presumably Wang Chengchen could also guess that one of the two women who fought with them at the beginning was her Wei Xiwan, but he never mentioned it.

Wei Xiwan sighed lightly, this city actually didn't have any special meaning to her, but for some reason there was a little indescribable sorrow in her heart.

Is it because he thinks of Wang Chengchen again, or because this is the place where he and Chu Xiangluo met? The nerves that have never slackened for a second in the border area of Bomendu have begun to grow up now that they have relaxed? Wei Xiwan let out a wry smile on his lips, and gently closed the window, the thousands of emotions in his eyes were hidden in the dark night after all.

Early morning.

"General Luo, a mile from the main road outside the city, a mountain suddenly collapsed last night with some soil, and the road may be difficult to pass for a while, and we may have to take a detour. "The soldier returns.

"Are there any casualties?" Luo Zhengli frowned, he didn't care about such a trivial matter as a detour, as long as he could catch up with the palace as soon as possible.

"No one was hurt. ”

"Alright, get ready, take a detour back to the capital. Luo Zhengli ordered, turned around and saw Wei Xiwan nodding slightly.

The main road was covered by mud from the collapse of the hillside, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to clean it up in a day or two, and if you did not take a detour, the delay would be too much.

From Genjiang City to the capital, there are indeed many small roads to walk, and the distance is much closer than the main road, but the small road is rugged and difficult, over the mountains and mountains, and few people walk on weekdays.

But Wei Xiwan walked by, she and Zikui not only walked by, but the two were also lost and separated.

It's just that this time, so many people are walking the path together, and the danger of getting lost or some other danger can be reduced a lot, and there is no need to worry. Wei Xiwan thinks so, but the reality often backfires.

They're lost again......

Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar forest in front of her, Wei Xiwan's heart gradually rose to a sense of unease, yes, she has also been here. It was this eerie and terrifying wood, and the weird wind that blew, that made her and Zikui disappear in an instant.

It's just that the forest is still this wood, but the strange and eerie feeling is not there, just like an ordinary wood.

"Wei Guoshi, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Wei Xiwan's expression, Luo Zhengli asked with concern, "National Teacher don't worry, I have already sent someone to explore the way, and I will definitely be able to get out of this forest before dark." ”

Luo Zhengli comforted Wei Xiwan, for these generals who have been fighting on the battlefield all year round, getting lost in this small forest is not enough to worry about, but for a woman, I am afraid it is scary.

"Hmm. Wei Xiwan pursed her lips lightly and nodded, without explaining much, maybe everything she had encountered was just an accident, and it didn't mean that there was anything strange about this forest.

As soon as this thought came to mind, a scream instantly shattered Wei Xiwan's illusion.

"Ah!!Help!!!" a mournful cry came from a direction in the far woods.

"Follow me! Don't move here, wait for us to come back!" In this way, Luo Zhengli hurriedly took away more than a dozen people, leaving only eight people, including himself, standing in the middle of this wood, with a sense of insignificance.

After Luo Zhengli and his party disappeared in one direction of the woods, it seemed to disappear silently and evaporated, and there was no sound in the silent forest, which was eerily quiet and undisturbing......

"Weiguoshi, it's getting dark, let's go pick up some dry firewood and make a fire, while waiting for General Luo and them to come back. One of the soldiers suggested that the forest was not only silent at the moment, but also cooler as the sun gradually set.

Building a fire seems to make people feel at ease and warm.

"Well, don't go far, though, where the eight of us can see each other. Wei Xiwan said solemnly, she didn't know where Luo Zhengli and his party were at the moment, and she didn't know if they would really spend the night here tonight, but it was getting dark, and it was necessary to make a fire, even if there were indeed some unknown oddities in this forest.

In autumn, there are more dry firewood and leaves, four people spread out to pick up dry firewood around, only a dozen meters apart, and soon picked up a small pile, one person stayed and started to make a fire, and the other three continued to scatter to pick up enough dry firewood to burn overnight.

"Wait a minute, the wind is a bit strong. The soldier who lit the fire said with some nervousness, for fear that the thin, weak and weak looking guard would catch a cold in the evening.

"There's no rush. Wei Xiwan spoke lightly, the power in her body made her not afraid of the cold at all, and what really made her uneasy at this moment was the strong wind that blew at some point.

There was a hint of coldness in the wind, which could not be detected by people who were not superior in martial arts, and Wei Xi clearly felt it in the evening, and this familiar and terrifying coldness became more and more intense.

"Tell them to come back, don't pick them up!" Wei Xiwan hurriedly ordered, if the three firewood collectors did not come back, I was afraid that they would be in danger.

"They're gone. The soldier who lit the fire replied in alarm, and the crowd realized that the three men had disappeared from their sight at some point.

Unspeakable fear and depression permeated everyone's hearts, and Wei Xiwan clearly felt that an unusually powerful force existed in this forest, so strong that just being there was enough to give her such a strong sense of oppression.

The last time she was here with Zikui, she only felt fear of the same thing, she only knew how to escape, but she didn't have the ability to spy on what this thing was, and now she is a person with the power of winter and no night, this mysterious power still has such a powerful threat to her, what is it?

And this force does not seem to be very hostile, and if there were, they would have died ten thousand times.

The wind began to become wild, and the thousands of fallen leaves that blew rolled up in the entire forest, and the cold meaning spread throughout the body, Wei Xiwan covered his eyes with one hand to avoid being scratched by the fallen leaves, and grabbed a long sword tightly with the other.
