Chapter 126: The Primordial Forest
Chapter 126: The Primordial Forest
That night, Yue Ji and Chopper finally arrived in Beihai City. Ye Yuechen smiled and brought the two into the City Guard Mansion.
Their arrival made Ye Yuechen feel a lot more at ease. Although he has few opponents in the entire empire with his own strength, he still has to take care of Yan'er and them, and with the help of Yue Ji and the others, his pressure is naturally much less.
"Damn, it's really hard to find this place. Boss, why did you come to this place?" Grumbled as soon as Yue Ji entered the house.
Murong Xue smiled and said, "You are content, it's better to live here than to let you sleep on the streets, right?"
"That's right, hehe. Yue Ji touched his head and smiled innocently.
Chopper was much calmer than Yueji, looked at Yan'er and Murong Xue, and said with a smile, "You should call your sister-in-law now, right?"
"I hate it, I haven't gotten married yet. Yan'er said a little shyly.
"Hey, it's the same whether you get married or not, it's all sisters-in-law, the eldest sister-in-law is good, and the younger sister-in-law is good. "Yue Ji doesn't care.
"What a big sister-in-law, little sister-in-law. Brother Yuchen, your two little brothers are really disobedient. Murong Xue said angrily.
Ye Yuechen laughed, seeing them so happy, of course he was also happy. "If they like to call it that, let them call it, and they'll be a family anyway, unless you don't want to. ”
"Willing to ......"
"Would you like to ......" Yan'er and Murong Xue called out almost at the same time, the two of them looked at each other, and two blushes flew up on their cheeks.
Ye Yuechen looked at the two of them, and said secretly in his heart: Fortunately, the relationship between the two is good, otherwise it would be really bad if they fought, and he didn't know who to help.
"You have worked hard to travel, so rest early today, I have asked Yan'er to help you clean up the room. Ye Yuechen said to Yue Ji and Qiao Ba.
Yue Ji, who had always loved to sleep, hurriedly shook his head at this time, and then whispered, "Boss, Chopper and I have seen some strange things along the way today, and it seems that your city is not very peaceful." ”
"Oh, what's going on?" Ye Yuechen has been busy dealing with the affairs of the city these days, and he has paid a lot less attention to Huo Mansion, and wonders in his heart if Huo Dong is planning some conspiracy again.
"This evening, we met a convoy entering the city in the woods on the outskirts of Beihai City, led by two people, and some retinues behind them, on the surface, they were just ordinary caravans, but I felt that they were very murderous. Chopper recalled.
"Oh, so they should be made up by some martial arts practitioners?" Ye Yuchen guessed.
"Yes, originally we thought that they should be warriors invited by others to escort the caravan, and it is understandable to dress up as ordinary people, so we didn't pay much attention to it, but later we realized that we were wrong. ”
"Then what happened?" Ye Yuechen hurriedly asked.
Yan'er and Murong Xue were also puzzled for a while, and hurriedly asked Yueji what they saw later.
"When nightfall we entered the city, and the merchants entered the city before us, but as soon as they had passed the gate, they quickly went into a small alley. Then he took off his outer clothes, revealing his night clothes, and disappeared in the night. "Yue Ji said.
"Didn't they find you?" asked Yan'er.
"That's the problem. Seeing that Yan'er was asking the point, Chopper said, "We followed them all the time, and when they found out, I thought there was going to be a conflict, but they just glanced at me and left." ”
"So they don't worry about being found out at all?" Ye Yuechen said.
"Well, it should be. ”
"Then why do they still disguise themselves as merchants?" Murong Xue was very strange.
Ye Yuechen was also very puzzled, since they entered the city after disguising, it meant that they wanted to hide their identities. But when Yue Ji and Qiao Ba saw them, they didn't make a reaction that Ye Yuechen thought was reasonable, such as killing people and killing people. Could it be that they already knew the strength of the two in advance, so they didn't do it because they were afraid?
"I see. Everyone was silent for a while, and Yan'er seemed to think of something.
"Know what?"
"Brother Yuchen, why do you think they went into the city after disguising?"
"To hide from the defenders of the city, of course. ”
"That's right, what will the defenders do if they find out about their anomaly?" Yan'er continued.
"I will definitely report to Wei Hong. Ye Yuechen did not hesitate.
"And then?"
"Then Wei Hong will report to me. Speaking of this, Ye Yuechen finally understood, "Yes, Wei Hong will tell me about this, I know, the reason why those people want to put on makeup is just to deceive the defenders and deceive me!"
When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized.
"Their purpose is to deceive you, so this matter must have nothing to do with Huo Dong. He must be afraid that you will find out and ruin his plan. But because of negligence, they were seen by Yueji. Murong Xue said.
"Well, that's right. In what direction are they going?" Ye Yuechen asked Chopper.
"If I'm not mistaken, I should have left in a northeast direction. Chopper looked at Yueji, who nodded in agreement.
"How can it be the northeast?" Hearing this, Ye Yuechen couldn't figure it out again. If these people really wanted to do their own detriment, they would not have gone northeast. The Castle Shou Mansion is directly east of Beihai City, while the Huo Mansion is in the southeast, and there is nothing in the northeast except for the endless primeval dense forest!
So, Ye Yuechen immediately decided to explore the reality in the deep mountains in the northeast. In order to beware that this was Huo Dong's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, he asked Qiao Ba to guard the city guard, and asked Wei Hong to personally take the elite of the defenders to also garrison outside the city guard, and he and Yue Ji set off to go.
He had also heard Wei Hong say before that Huo Dong always rarely appeared in the Huo Mansion, and he didn't know where he was the rest of the time. And the soldiers on patrol again saw him take Huo Yong to the forest in the northeast. Ye Yuechen felt that there must be some connection in this.
Beihai City is considered to be the northernmost city of the Dragon Drive Empire, and the primeval dense forest in the north of the city is the only undeveloped area in the entire empire, and no one knows where it stretches to the north. According to the local people, this dense forest is extremely dangerous, and there are many ancient beasts infested, and ordinary people dare not enter the mountains at all.
"Whoosh......"
"Whoosh......" Ye Yuechen and Yue Ji took advantage of the night to gallop quickly, and within a while, the two of them arrived at the periphery of the dense forest.
The peaks here are extremely tall, and even the Three Sacred Mountains can only be regarded as a small hillside here. The bleak moonlight shone sparsely on the mountain, as if it was a huge devil with teeth and claws, and the mountain wind blew with the sound of "salsa" with the leaves, and the cold Ye Yuechen shivered.
The two of them quietly walked into the dense forest.
The night was very quiet, and even though the two of them were already trying to control the pace of their feet, they still made a lot of noise when they stepped on the dead branches and leaves.
"Coo-coo-......coo" A few strange cries sounded, and Ye Yuechen vigilantly hid his body in the weeds, and under the protection of the night, almost no one could find it.
"It's a couple of frightened birds. Yue Ji pointed to the top of his head and whispered to Ye Yuechen.
The two of them catted in the grass for a while, and only after making sure that there was no one else did they cautiously walk out.
I don't know how long it took, the two of them only felt colder and colder, and Ye Yuechen had to urge the vitality in his body to keep out the cold. And they felt nothing but this cold snap.
"Boss, it's not a way to find it like this. Yue Ji saw that he didn't find anything for a long time, so he said a little impatiently.
"Well, this jungle is surprisingly big, and it's weird. It's so dark now, if those people really get here, it is estimated that we won't be able to find it for a while, so let's go back first. As the two deepened, Ye Yuechen's heart became more and more bottomless.
