Tieyi didn't expect Shen Miao to come up with such a thing at this juncture, although the crested village is not far from Longye, it will take two days to come and go quickly, and what happens on the way, the most important thing is that the legendary master, except for listening to the words of the sisters and brothers of Gaofu, no one has seen it, and they don't know whether it is true or not, Shen Miao went to find someone who doesn't know if it exists, which is too irrational and naïve. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

But Shen Miao seemed to be iron-hearted, and told Uncle Tang what to do in the next few days, so she took Luo Tan out of the door. Before leaving, he instructed her and Luo Tan not to spread the news about going out.

After dressing up, he took star anise, Mo Qing Congyang, and Luo Tan on the road.

Because he wore a hat and clothes worn by ordinary people, no one recognized him. Prince Rui's Mansion has always been good at doing these disguised things. Although Tie Yi was a little worried, when Shen Miao became stern, even Shen Qiu didn't dare to stop him easily, let alone these subordinates.

Looking at the back of Shen Miao leaving, Uncle Tang asked, "Is this ...... Can Madame find someone?"

Tie Yi shook his head: "It's better to have a heart than no psychology, at least a righteous person." Then he turned his head and instructed the others: "Madame's departure from the house will be hidden from me, if you leak the news, you will bear the consequences!"

On the carriage, Luo Tan looked at Shen Miao and said, "Little cousin, if you don't sleep for a while, you haven't rested well in the past few days, and you haven't stopped on the road, so you better rest first." ”

Shen Miao's heart was a little confused, the carriage was bumpy at this time, although he had no intention of resting, but what Luo Tan said was also very reasonable, if he didn't rest all the time, it would not be good to delay the rest of the matter, so he also closed his eyes groggily and took a nap.

I don't know why, this sleep is extraordinarily long, Shen Miao originally set off in the afternoon, and when she woke up, she was woken up, she opened her eyes in a daze, but saw Luo Tan looking at her and said, "Little cousin, wake up, it's here." ”

Shen Miao got out of the car with Luo Tan, and it was already the afternoon of the second day, and it was almost evening. The carriage was parked in a wasteland, and the branches growing in it were unattended, and the branches were so vertical and horizontal that they almost obscured the sky. The weather in June, even in the evening, there is always daylight, but here it looks gloomy and black, and there is not even a trace of heat, which makes people feel strange and frightened.

Mo Qing and Congyang also frowned, and Congyang said, "What the hell is this place? ”

"I heard that this was an embroidery village before, and the embroidery village was the best at embroidering a phoenix tail picture, but then the embroidery village gradually declined, and this village was also abandoned. Octagon was a bag and immediately explained.

Luo Tan looked up and down, left and right, opened the handkerchief embroidered with the map in his hand, and said: "But there should be a path embroidered on this map, and there is no road here." ”

Everyone came over to take a look, and sure enough, the map was clear and clear, and they saw that there was a small road in front of the crested village, and from the path to the inside, there were fields and houses.

But here are not only houses and fields, but there is not even a shadow of the path.

"There's no one at all, it's like no one has been here for a long time. Luo Tan said: "Could it be that the grass has grown and covered the road, so we can't see it?"

Mo Qinghe Congyang looked around and shook his head: "No." ”

Anise and Fennel also looked at it, and Fennel said: "This forest is too big, and when the sun sets, it is easy to get lost in the forest, and there may be other wild beasts, and we are not very familiar with the road here, madam, you see......"

The most important thing for them to be subordinates is, of course, to protect Shen Miao's safety, don't be that the master who changed his life was not found, but Shen Miao fell into danger. The men of their Moyu Army are good at dealing with the enemy, but they are not good at walking in the middle of the night in this strange dark forest. In fact, Fennel They didn't care much about what Luo Tan said, in their opinion, Luo Tan was a whim, naïve and too naïve, but Shen Miao also followed Luo Tan's innocence, and everyone's hearts were a little subtle.

Only Mo Qing followed Shen Miao's orders without question. Fennel They don't know Shen Miao, Mo Qing has followed Shen Miao from the beginning, and Shen Miao's environment was even more precarious when she was in Mingqi, but she was stunned to find a way out of such a difficult situation, every decision made by Shen Miao played a special role in the future, and Mo Qing never doubted this.

Shen Miao looked at the map and asked Luo Tan, "What Ben Yue said, that pair of sisters and brothers have been going south since they entered Fengtouzhuang, right?"

Luo Tan said: "Yes. But she also said that there was a path on the south side of the map, and the path happened to be in the direction of the south, but there was no path here. ”

"Let's go. Shen Miao said.

Everyone was stunned, and Congyang asked, "Madam, where are we going?"

Shen Miao motioned to Luo Tan to take out the compass and said, "Go south." ”

"But there's no path here. Fennel was surprised: "If it's a wrong path, isn't it wrong at the beginning?"

Shen Miao glanced at Fennel and said, "Since you've arrived here, and you can't tell which one is right and which one is wrong, then try it all." There are only these directions here, and since the brother and sister have been talking to the south, the direction is always the same. No matter where the path is, it's a big deal to find it in all directions. When there is no way, it is also a way to try. She took the lead and walked forward with the compass.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Luo Tan said, "Little cousin, you are also waiting for me!"

Octagon smiled and said, "Let's hurry up and keep up." ”

Several people followed.

The sun soon set, and the woods were already dim because of the dense foliage, and after the sun set, it was almost pitch black, but fortunately Congyang carried enough fire with him to light it and move forward inside.

It's just that there are the same branches all the way here, and in the end, I can't tell the difference between the front and the back. Almost all of them are the same branches. And because it's too cold, it's almost not like June, Mo Qing and Congyang are still a little good, but the women are a little chilly.

Shen Miao had brought her coats, and she couldn't help but cover them tighter at the moment. Faintly, there were several howls of beasts in the forest, and Mo Qing and Congyang stopped at the same time, and slowly put their hands on the saber at their waists.

Fennel lowered her voice and whispered, "It's the voice of a wolf, there is a wolf here." ”

"Wolves are afraid of fire. Shen Miao said: "Everyone has two fire folds in their hands and lights them up." Wolves are very cunning beasts, and if a wolf pack were in the woods and saw so many fires, they would think that there were many of us and would not dare to come near. ”

Fennel was stunned for a moment, and her octagonal round face showed a look of surprise: "Madam, you even know how to deal with wolves." "It's not strange that the people of the Mo Yu Army or the people in the rivers and lakes know these methods, but Shen Miao is the daughter of the official family, and it is too unusual to know this. Even if the Shen family is a military general, this method seems to be too skilled, but it looks like a veteran of the Orion family.

Shen Miao smiled: "I've heard people mention it." ”

When Wanyu was going to marry the Huns, she heard that there were often wolves on the Huns, Shen Miao was worried, and found many ways to drive away the wolves and handed them to Wanyu. It's a pity.

The pain in her eyes flashed, and when Shen Miao raised her eyes again, she was also very calm, and said, "Keep going." ”

"Still ahead?" said Fennel, "Madame, we have been walking for several hours, and you have not noticed? Fang Cai's road has been walked several times, and if he continues like this, even if he walks here all night, he is afraid that he will not reach the end. ”

Congyang also said: "Yes, madam, even if you want to leave, you can't keep walking without a purpose." Otherwise, we will be wrong again and again. ”

Shen Miao pondered for a moment and looked at Luo Tan: "Has the direction of the compass been going south?"

Luo Tan nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, we must not have gone in the wrong direction, but ...... It really looks like I've just seen it. ”

"It's clear that you're not going down the wrong path, but the scene is exactly the same, which makes it even more strange. Shen Miao said: "If things are abnormal, they must be demons, if we go the wrong way, we will return the same way, and we will inevitably be hit, and we will definitely not be able to return." It's better to keep going like this. But what you said is right, all the time you look at the same scene, these trees look exactly the same, it will inevitably mislead people, if it is true, it will make people feel disgusted and suspicious, if it is fake, it will be even more confusing. ”

She took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, and asked Luo Tan to take out a handkerchief as well, tied the handkerchief to her eyes by herself, and said, "In this way, you won't be misled by your eyes, you can't see anything, just follow the compass and see where you can go." Cousin Tan and I are both blindfolded, star anise is looking at the compass in front, and you are in the back, and then go forward to try. ”

Mo Qing hesitated a little: "Madam, can this really work?"

"I know what you want to say," Shen Miao was blindfolded, but her tone was undoubted: "To be honest, I don't know what the consequences will be if we go on like this, but Xie Jingxing doesn't have so much time, and if we take one more step, there will be more possibilities." If you don't even leave, then the result doesn't seem to be surprising. ”

"Yes, yes, yes," Luo Tan also hurriedly said: "No matter what, you have to try it first, what is the use of saying it thousands of times, it is better to make it practical yourself." ”

Fennel was a little surprised, she felt that she really couldn't understand this lady, when she first married into Prince Rui's mansion, Mo Yujun's subordinates had also quietly peeped, only felt that this lady had a calm and steady temperament, so she was a little less enthusiastic about her master, it can be said to be ruthless, but she could take the risk of walking in this dark woods for her master all night. looks like a smart person, rationally analyzes the pros and cons, but at this time, he naively believes in the legend that he can change his life, and uses such a stupid method.

Fennel can't understand Shen Miao's contradictory actions, but in fact, it's not as complicated as she imagined, people will unconsciously expose their true heart at a special juncture, and in some emergencies, it is not reason and intelligence that instructs people, but instinct.

Wisdom at this moment is not worth the urgency.

Mo Qing silently followed behind Shen Miao and walked forward, Fennel paused a few times, and finally didn't say anything more, and continued to follow.

......

These things happened in Fengtouzhuang, but the people in Longye City didn't know. All the courtiers knew was that Prince Rui was injured on the day of the hunt, but no one knew what the injury had become, and naturally no one dared to ask. It's just that Xie Yuan's position in the Longye court is very delicate, some people are bent on his death, and some people are tied to him, praying that nothing will happen to him.

No matter how much everyone doubts in their hearts, Prince Rui's Mansion is like an iron wall, without revealing a single rumor, they don't know the situation, they can't sleep peacefully even if they are itchy, and they can't find any clues for a while.

So the restless continue to fidget, and the gloating continue to gloat, and no one can help anyone.

In the Lu Mansion, Lu Wan'er was pacing back and forth in the house, and said coquettishly to Mrs. Lu: "Mother, I want to go to see His Royal Highness, I don't know how he is injured?

Mrs. Lu comforted her: "Where is it so serious, if it is really serious, I will definitely look for a doctor, now there is no news in the prince's mansion, I think it will be fine." What did you do in the past? ”

"But I'm very upset. Lu Wan'er said: "It's all to blame on that Shen Miao, it's a disaster, she just got married, His Royal Highness the Prince had such a big thing, she is Kefu! ”

Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes." But you can't go over now, wait for Prince Rui to get better, let your eldest sister think of a way for you to meet, and you can't cause trouble now. ”

Lu Wan'er said unhappily: "Mother, don't lie to me. ”

After Lu Wan'er left, the smile on Mrs. Lu's face sank, and she instructed the maid on the side: "Take a good look at Miss, don't let her go out these days." If it's bad for the master, I'll ask you!" In the end, his tone was grim and his face was hideous, just like the violent and murderous General Lu Zhengchun.

The maids bowed their heads again and again.

But on the other side, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mrs. Ye and Master Ye were also talking about it.

Mrs. Ye was playing chess with Master Ye. Ye Maocai is completely different from Lu Zhengchun, Lu Zhengchun is a typical martial artist, at first glance, he is a person rolling on the battlefield, his eyebrows are full of evil spirits, and his fierce appearance is about to make even a child cry. Ye Maochun had a harmless appearance with a white face, and he looked kind, but he didn't know, but he thought it was a scholar of literary crepe.

However, this prime minister, when the heirs are thin, Longye courtiers dare not make a mistake to the Ye family, and Emperor Yongle can't tear his face openly, and he must be a harmless person like his appearance.

Mrs. Ye left a son behind, and said with a smile: "This Prince Rui's mansion is like an iron bucket, and there is no news coming at the moment, but I don't know what Prince Rui looks like now." I can't eat well here, and I can't sleep well, it's really annoying. ”

"Madame doesn't already have a plan in her heart, why is she still worried about this?" Ye Maochun smiled and followed behind.

Mrs. Ye glanced at him with disgust, she was not a delicate girl in her twenties, and when she started this obedient action, she was a little nondescript, but Mrs. Ye herself had not noticed it, but she said while falling: "No news is bad news." A person as strong as Prince Rui, but whoever can see people, will always come out. The delay is probably because it can't. ”

Ye Maochun smiled: "Maybe it's to confuse others." ”

"Master, this is underestimating the concubine's body, coaxing the concubine's body to play. Mrs. Ye said: "It's definitely not a lie. ”

"Oh, why is that?"

Mrs. Ye looked at the chessboard and said, "I don't know what Prince Rui's Mansion is, but the emperor has not concealed it, hasn't he already started to deal with the Lu family now?" Seeing that the emperor's subordinates are so heavy, I think that King Rui's injuries are not light. ”

Ye Maochun laughed: "It turns out that Madame has seen it so thoroughly, and Madame has seen everything in the court clearly, I feel guilty." Then Madame might as well take a guess and see what I have planned?"

Mrs. Ye lowered her head and smiled, "It's hard to say, it depends on what the result of King Rui is." Seeing that Ye Maochun did not deny it, Mrs. Ye realized that she was right, and even said eloquently: "The emperor and the Lu family have been secretly playing for so many years, and these days they want to win over our Ye family, but we are not stupid, where can we be used as a raft." The sandpiper and the clam compete for the benefit of the fisherman, so let the emperor and the Lu family fight. King Rui was still there before, so we were biased towards the emperor, and we were happy to make friends with the emperor, but if King Rui couldn't escape this time...... With only one emperor, the world will still be controlled by the Lu family after all. ”

"It's just a wise king, where is it as magical as you say. Ye Maochun smiled faintly.

"King Rui is a powerful person," Mrs. Ye also smiled: "Don't you think so master?"

Ye Maochun's chess action paused, looked at Mrs. Ye meaningfully, and said, "Madame always seems to be able to guess my heart." However, Madame thinks that King Rui will be able to escape this disaster this time?"

Mrs. Ye thought for a long time before she spit out four words: "It's hard to escape from the catastrophe." ”

Ye Maochun looked at her.

"Master, I still remember when King Rui first returned to Longye two years ago, he was also seriously injured at that time, and the emperor was able to hide it from others but not from us. At that time, I thought that King Rui would inevitably be weak to return to heaven, but I didn't know where he got his good luck and came back to life, and later he disrupted the situation in the court by himself. Mrs. Ye smiled: "But it is impossible for a person to have two good luck, the last time God blessed him, this time, who can bless him? ”

"Really?" Ye Maochun followed Mrs. Ye and said, "I'm just the opposite of what you think. Two years ago, King Rui's medicine stone was spiritual, but in the end, he didn't die, people's fate was about the beginning of the doomed, King Rui was destined to have a future, he escaped two years ago, and naturally he could escape two years later. ”

When Mrs. Ye heard this, she didn't get angry, let alone refute Ye Maochun, she just said, "Then let's wait and see." ”

Ye Maochun also smiled, left the last son, and said, "Madame seems to have lost." ”

Mrs. Ye saw that this was really the case, and said half-coquettishly: "It's not kind for the master to play chess while the concubine is talking, let's play another game." ”

Ye Maochun shook his head with a smile and said, "Another day, today is going to test Hongguang's homework, and the time should be almost up." ”

Mrs. Ye hurriedly said: "Then the master will go first, Hongguang's homework is important." ”

Ye Maochun got up and left, Mrs. Ye looked at the back of Master Ye leaving, her face gradually turned cold, she looked extremely ugly, and said bitterly: "It's just a lame person, what about learning rich and five cars, it's not like you can only nest in the mansion for the rest of your life!" In the end, she felt angry again, swept the chess pieces on the table to the ground, and said in a low voice: "It's exactly the same as that fox spirit!"

The maid waiting in the house didn't dare to move, everyone knew that Mrs. Ye's dislike the most was the young master Ye, Ye Hongguang, who was born to that little concubine, raised under Mrs. Ye's name, the sister-in-law who was not good at doing things, and the only heir of the Ye family.

......

The morning light is faint, and the sun shines on the ground through the gaps in the branches, like a little bit of broken silver, which is very beautiful. In the dark of the night, the silver sunlight finally drove away the gloom, and although it was only a little, it was enough to make people feel comforted.

Fennel and Anise stopped, turned their heads and supported Shen Miao and Luo Tan, who were still wrapped in strips of cloth in their eyes, and said to Shen Miao: "Madam, it's already dawn." ”

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, Fennel and the others would never have imagined that Shen Miao, a young lady, would be able to walk with them in the dark in such a deserted woods all night. Fennel They naturally don't feel it after special training, but Luo Tan, who has a martial arts background, is already very haggard, and the meaning of sleepiness is written on his face, but Shen Miao is still sane and clear.

Fennel and Congyang both muttered in their hearts, could it be that this lady is actually a practitioner, so she has such strong willpower?

In fact, they thought about it a lot, but when Shen Miao was in the cold palace, sometimes she was troubled by Mrs. Lintel and other concubines, and there was no shortage of things in the palace, and it was a whole night to wash clothes in the middle of the night. Besides, now that the situation is urgent, she is bent on getting out of the woods, how can she have the heart to be sleepy?

"How far have we come?" Shen Miao asked.

"Back to Mrs. Hui. Congyang said: "After walking all night, I have walked a long way, but according to the marks left along the way, I didn't see the second time, so I shouldn't have gone back." He added: "The blindfolded method is really good, it seems that we were deceived by our own eyes before." ”

"But the woods still look exactly the same. Luo Tan was weak and weak.

"Keep walking. Shen Miao said: "After walking so far, you can always get out of the end." ”

Fennel was stunned for a moment, but this time she didn't say anything, last night, they also tried to stop Shen Miao a few times, Shen Miao not only listened to their words, but was probably annoyed by what she said, and reprimanded a few words, but they, the subordinates of the Moyu Army, were arrogant and domineering, and they were yelled at by Shen Miao like a cat that saw a mouse. Fennel and Congyang also wondered in their hearts, this lady looks gentle and steady and easy to speak, once she starts a serious fire, why is it so scary?

The Empress Xiande in the palace is not necessarily so terrible...... And momentum too.

A few people continued to follow Shen Miao, Luo Tan was a little sluggish, even if she practiced martial arts again, she couldn't compare with fennel in the end, and it was not as good as Shen Miao who had suffered before, and now she was also holding on, so she tried to widen her eyes, trying to find something to distract herself.

As soon as she dispersed like this, she noticed something unusual, and she grabbed Shen Miao: "Hey, there are flowers here, but I haven't seen any flowers on the way." ”

Everyone was stunned, and they all came to see, and sure enough, they saw that there were thin flowers in the shade of the trees, and they couldn't see it at all if they didn't pay attention to it.

Mo Qing suddenly frowned: "There seems to be the sound of a rooster crowing." ”

Fennel Anise and Congyang have high martial arts, and they both pricked up their ears to listen, and finally said, "Not bad." ”

"How can there be a rooster crow here. Shen Miao groaned: "Could it be that there are houses in front of you?" She said, "Don't look at it, let's go, since there is a sound, the exit should not be far away, and we will soon be able to get out of this forest." ”

As soon as everyone heard that they could get out of this forest, they were all in high spirits and immediately regrouped and set off. This time the luck was good, after walking half a pillar of incense, I felt that the gap between the branches was getting bigger and bigger, the trees were dense before, but now they are much more loose, and the sun shines in more, the more comfortable people feel.

"Looks like it's really going to go out. Luo Tan's excited sleepiness was swept away: "Let's go quickly!" Before the words fell, he saw that the woods were at the end, but there was a path, everyone looked at each other, and Shen Miao took the lead in walking in.

Walking along the path, to the end, suddenly it is a pastoral, but although this pastoral is a pastoral, it is also planted with flowers and vegetables, but it looks very messy, as if someone planted it, but it is not well cared for, let it grow naturally, and the result is a mess.

However, despite this, behind this, there is a house.

The houses were made of thatched straw and crumbled as if the roof would be blown away by the wind in the next moment. The crowd walked forward, and Octagon ran in first, then shook his head and came out, saying, "Madam, there is no one inside." ”

No one? A trace of disappointment flashed in Luo Tan's eyes: "How can there be no one?"

This place is very different from what they imagined, imagining that the place where peerless masters live, but it is so dilapidated, and there are no people at the moment, which is even more frustrating.

Shen Miao said: "The flowers and plants are still there, it's not like no one, wait here, there will always be one." ”

Before the words fell, a broken gong was heard: "Yo, there are distinguished guests coming, there are distant welcomes, there are distant welcomes." ”

Everyone turned around together, Shen Miao saw the person's face clearly, couldn't help but be stunned, and said in a lost voice: "It's you." ”

Octagon asked, "Madam...... Do you know?"

The middle-aged man who smiled and came in tattered Taoist clothes was the one who received Shen Miao's golden peanut in the Ming Qi Putuo Temple, counting her "although the phoenix life is good, she will be imprisoned for a lifetime", counting her "the past is like a dream, do not entangle", and count her "not extremely Taisheng, purple gas comes from the east" strange Taoist!
