Chapter 22: Danger Beyond the Valley of Dreams
"Big brother, don't blame yourself too much. After all, none of us want such a thing to happen..."Xiao Luojue looked at his father on the sickbed, and then looked at the eldest brother who was deeply guilty, and his heart was painful and angry. If he were to find the man who had pretended to be his father and had killed him, he would have to dismantle him.
"The eldest young master, the second young master, King Ling has arrived." The guards outside announced.
"Die'er, you take good care of your father here, and your second brother and I will go and talk to King Ling about something." Xiao Luoyu patted Xiao Luodie, who was crying with pear blossoms and rain on the side, and then turned around and walked out of the room.
"Che, you're here." Xiao Luoyu was no longer in the mood to smile like usual at the moment.
"Yu, I can understand your feelings. Don't worry, General Xiao will be fine. ”
Xiao Luoyu forced out a smile, "Che, this time, I want to thank your princess." "I didn't expect that woman's medical skills to be so powerful, it seems that there are many unexpected surprises on her body, no wonder even Che, a thousand-year-old ice cube, can be melted by her.
"I just went to Xiao Ergongzi's room, and there was the smell of corpse water. Ling Xuan said that one of the guards in the courtyard of the second prince had entered the room and came out in less than a quarter of an hour. If my guess is correct, the person who came out is the fake Xiao Ergongzi. This person should be extremely good at disguise. ”
"This person killed two guards in the house, and his father was sick in bed, if he was hit by my Xiao Luoyu, he would definitely be killed." His fists were clenched, and his eyes were on fire, as if he was about to burn the man to death.
Murong Lingche shook his head lightly and frowned slightly, not wanting Xiao Luoyu to be immersed in anger all the time, so he looked at Xiao Luoyu and said lightly, "Second Prince Xiao, he is indeed more mature than before. ”
"The prince has won the prize. You and your eldest brother are good friends, just call me to fall away in the future. Xiao Luo absolutely Murong Lingche spoke respectfully, although he was not as close to him as his eldest brother, but he admired him extremely much.
Murong Lingche nodded slightly, "When you come back, will the road be smooth?" He vaguely felt that the emperor would not let Yu enter the city lightly, and this time Yu disappeared for no reason, which was a great opportunity for them.
"There have been a number of killers on the road, but I, Xiao Luoyu, am not so easy to deal with, not to mention that there is a Jue who has studied martial arts in Yanxi Mountain for four years. It didn't take much effort for us to clean it up. Xiao Luoyu thought of those people who were popular, and he dared to provoke him, he was really impatient.
"Che, do you think those killers were sent by the emperor?"
Murong Lingche's eyes were ruthless, "Even if you are not the emperor's person, you are also the prime minister's person." He endured it again and again, they could treat him however they wanted, and this time, he actually attacked his good brother, then don't blame him for being ruthless. Over the years, Yu has far more weight in his heart than those so-called relatives, and he will never tolerate anyone hurting him.
"Looks like they're ready to make a move. Che, could that person also be sent by them to poison my father? ”
"I don't think so. If it was really poisoned by the people they sent, it should not have been announced that Shen Han would be temporarily appointed as the general when he went to court on the second day. It's too impatient to do that..."
"Is there another force that is attacking us?" If this is the case, wouldn't Che's situation be even more dangerous?
nodded, "They did this to provide the emperor with an opportunity to take back General Xiao's military power, but they were afraid of me, so they wanted to strike first." Who knew that I went to the morning court that morning..."
"Che, did you hear something that day?" Che shouldn't have learned about his father's illness so quickly, how could he go to the early dynasty so coincidentally, this is something he can't understand.
"I didn't know what was going on that day, I always felt that something was going to happen, so I happened to have nothing to do, so I went to the palace, and walked to the Jinluan Palace."
"It seems that you made a mistake that day, but you also smashed their plot. Che, they have all treated you like this, do you still want to care about that poor family affection? "He's really worthless for him, he treats them like relatives, and how do those people treat him? Attacking himself and his father is just to eradicate the people around Che...
"Yu, I know what to do...", looking into the distance, I hope that the person who made him care can come back safely, otherwise, no matter how much he does, what's the point? There is no woman who can warm her cold heart like her...
Three more days passed quietly.
The secret guards sent out by Murong Lingche to protect Mu Zhiyu finally came with the news.
On the night of staying at the inn, after eliminating those black-clothed people who were not good, Mu Zhiyu and Ling Feng continued their trip. Ling Yi and the other four secret guards had been silently following them in the shadows, but when they were about to reach the Valley of Dreams, another group of well-trained killers chased after them from behind.
Their target was obviously Mu Zhiyu, and Ling Yi and the five people intercepted them behind, and the two sides fought. In order to block the killers who were divided into two ways to block Mu Zhiyu, Ling San, Ling Si and Ling Yi stayed behind to deal with the large number of black-clothed killers, while Ling Qi and Ling Ba followed Mu Zhiyu and Ling Feng and successfully defeated the second group of killers in front.
When they moved forward again, they found that the surrounding terrain was full of primeval forests that were hundreds of years old, and there were countless poisonous snakes and beasts in the forest, making it even more difficult for them to walk.
It seems that they have reached the entrance of the Valley of Dreams.
The seven gathered together, no longer scattered. Cautiously walking towards the depths of the forest, they believed that as long as they walked out of the forest safely, at the end of the woods, it would be the location of the Yumeng clan, the clansmen of the Valley of Dreams. The orchid they asked for will also appear.
The closer you get to the depths of the woods, the stronger the feeling of suffocating oppression. The forest was damp and they had to avoid the beasts that popped up from time to time, and several people felt more and more dangerous and difficult. However, these are far from being the reasons that stand in their way. A firm conviction spread among them.
Suddenly, Ling Feng's gaze fell on a fiery red flower with a very delicate shape, shaped like a sun ring. That flower has no leaves and no stems, and is unusually beautiful. The flowers bloom on one side of them, blocked by some leafy greenery, so they are not very conspicuous.
Ling Feng was the closest to the flowers, and suddenly felt the flowers move quickly, opening their mouths and stretching out towards him.
Mu Zhiyu felt an abnormal sound, suddenly turned around, saw those flowers, his body shook suddenly, and shouted at Ling Feng, "Stay away from them!" ”
As he spoke, the silver needle in his hand shot swiftly towards those flowers with their mouths wide open, and Ling Feng had a chance to escape from their attacks.
After taking a closer look at the surroundings, everyone walked towards the place where there were no such flowers, and Mu Zhiyu said lightly, "Those flowers are called cannibal flowers." The man-eating flower is a mysterious plant with animal-like habits, and it takes at least ten living beings to devour one flower, and one out of ten, that is, ten flowers to produce a small green fruit. You almost became their fertilizer just now. ”
Ling Feng couldn't help but feel afraid when he heard this, he was almost devoured by a plant, and it was insulting to say it.
"Be careful, everybody."
Everyone couldn't help but admire their princess, who was not only strong in martial arts, but also proficient in medical skills, and knowledgeable, and most importantly, she was able to capture the heart of her own prince.
In the deepest part of the jungle, there are towering green vines. As soon as they approached, the rattans scattered as if spiritual, and quickly swept across the ground, striking at them, as if they were about to encircle them all. Several people hurriedly took out the swords in their hands and swung them towards the rattans quickly, but more and more trees and vines came towards them in an endless stream, and they didn't swear to give up if they didn't wrap them all.
Mu Zhiyu took out the silver needle coated with poison and shot at those unscrupulous tree vines, but unexpectedly angered them, more than a dozen thick rattans quickly attacked her together, wrapped her tightly, and then threw her out of people's sight.
Seeing this, Ling Feng shouted hoarsely, "Princess! He stopped what he was doing, and let the vines entangle him, and after a while, he disappeared in place. He promised the prince to protect the princess, no matter what, he would follow the princess, and he had a hunch that they would not die.
Ling Yi and the others watched them being thrown off the cliff by the vines, and their hearts tightened, and they wanted to follow them.
"We must get out alive, go and report to the prince, and send someone to find out the whereabouts of the princess." Ling San shouted, the cliff side didn't know whether it was fierce or auspicious, they couldn't make senseless sacrifices here.
Ling San was right. We've got to get out of this vine forest as soon as possible. ”
So a few people retreated to a place a few meters away from the vine forest, and Ling Yi spoke, "Ling Qi, you go back and tell the prince about the situation here." Let's stay here, think about countermeasures, and see how we can save the princess and Ling Feng. ”
After Murong Ling Che heard Ling Qi's words, he was immediately shocked, and a sense of fear that he had never felt before spread from the bottom of his heart to his whole body.
"This king will personally go and rescue the princess!" He had never been so afraid, and he had never had such powerlessness and fear when he was fighting on the battlefield before, on the line of life and death. He regretted that he shouldn't have let her go on the risk... If something happens to her and he lives, what's the point?
