Chapter Seventy-Five: Into the Forest
This can't be blamed on them, after all, who usually walks through the north gate, there is only one duke after the north gate, and the duke is the king.
It would be a long way to get to the other counts' places now.
The palace where the king was located was defended by the Dukedoms of Rochler and Reshbinkosen.
On the side of the Dukedom of Reshbinkosen, there is a mountain that cannot be seen at a glance, and Feng Xi and the others are not familiar with the road, so they can only choose to go to the king's palace from the Dukedom of Rochler.
At the very least, you can see the road here, as long as the direction is correct, and if you see the territory, you will be very close to your destination.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, when a glimmer appeared in the sky, Feng Xi looked into the distance and said thoughtfully:
"Crowe, there should be pursuers behind us."
Because it is difficult to discern the direction at night, they walk very slowly.
"Lord Fengxi, let's go and bring some now."
"Yes."
After answering, Feng Xi and the knights quickly left.
I don't know if it's because of the imprint on the back of my hand, but Feng Xi feels that his riding skills seem to have increased a little, but his physical strength has not changed, which is very strange.
On the other side.
After the two knocked out knights at the north gate were discovered, they immediately reported urgently.
When the Grand Duke of Hillington heard this, he was furious.
"Forget about Lu Binse's betrayal, and now there is someone who wants to stand on my head!"
After scolding angrily, the Grand Duke of Hillington suddenly thought of the mysterious scholar and the knights who had suddenly defected.
"Has the traitor knight been killed?"
"Not yet, the knight has sent news that there have been other noble knights who have come out to block it, and they have been stopped."
"It seems that it was the traitors who slipped out of the north gate."
After whispering to himself, the Grand Duke of Hillington's eyes became fierce, and he guessed the scholar's purpose.
"Hehe, do you want to expose me in front of the king like the traitor knight Lu Binser, it's too naΓ―ve!"
The knight bowed his head, as if he had not heard the words.
"Give me a quick stop in the king's way, and send a thousand knights along the way to catch up with them.
Something I remembered, the man who didn't wear the knight's silver armor, I want to live. β
"I see."
After assembling for a while, a thousand knights set off in a majestic manner.
On the other hand, the wind worship is here.
As they walked, they noticed that the road under their feet had disappeared at some point, and suddenly cold sweat broke down on the foreheads of Crow and Mooney.
"Lord Fengxi, are we going wrong, there is no way out."
"Scholar, it's not good to say that, but as far as I know, there is a long asphalt road to the king's palace."
β...β
Feng Xi was silent, looking at the sun that was already hanging high, and then looked at the lush woods beside him.
"Go in and find a river, and rest first."
As soon as the group led the horses into the woods, they felt a cool feeling, the horses were already grazing freely, and the river in front of them was very clear.
Under the leadership of the experienced and personable Mooney, the lunch meal for today was soon settled.
Relying on primitive bricks and wood to make fire, so that they will not live in a state of primitive people drinking blood.
After eating, bury the entrails and other things to prevent wild beasts from smelling them.
Standing on the edge of the water, Feng Xi checked the water quality and found that the water was very refreshing and slightly sweet, so he immediately looked at the upstream of the water and made a decision in his heart.
"Crowe, Mooney, we're going up this river, and we're going to meet people..."
According to the previous life experience, people's living quarters began to gather according to this water flow, and the water quality was so good.
If the king knew about it, he would definitely lead it to the palace, and there might even be a palace by the river.
As for why upstream, everyone understands.
After listening to Feng Xi's analysis, Crow and Moonene really sighed that it is good to be knowledgeable.
"Lord Fengxi, shall we leave immediately?"
"No, wait a minute, the horses haven't finished yet."
These horses, however, are the last precious supplies, and they must be fed and drunk well.
It wasn't until half an hour later that the horses spontaneously came to the river to drink and flick their tails happily.

"Let's go."
By mistake, Feng Xi just managed to avoid the pursuers sent by the Grand Duke of Hillington.
The chasing knights on the other side were still puzzled, why they had been chasing for most of the day, and they hadn't seen a single figure.
"Captain, aren't we too slow?"
"Possibly, no matter what, let's take a break and then move on."
This order to pursue, they knew the result from the beginning, the main force was not them the chasing knights, but the interception knights who kept running forward.
The Interceptor rode fast on the asphalt, but didn't see anyone else along the way.
"Are they already in town!"
As soon as he thought of this possibility, the Interceptor Knight immediately overthrew it.
"I guess I'm hiding somewhere."
ββββ
On the other side, Feng Xi led the knights up the river, and the more they went, the more abundant the surrounding vegetation became.
"Lord Fengxi, will the king's palace be in this place, there are so many insects, I can't sleep well."
There were many bugs in the depths of the woods, and Crowe saw several spiders, and he was so frightened that he almost jumped.
Especially when he saw the fluffy spider legs, the whole person was not good, and he was scared.
Multi-legged reptiles or something, it's terrifying.
There were also hairless creeping creatures, and goosebumps rose at the thought of seeing a long punch-thick snake in a flash.
"Lord Fengxi, why don't we go out and have a look."
"Crowe, you're a knight, how can you be so timid."
"Captain Mooney, it's not that I'm timid, I don't know why, when I see these things, I feel very uncomfortable in my heart."
Faced with this phenomenon, which seems to be engraved on genes, Feng Xi felt very strange, what did the ancestors of mankind encounter.
will engrave this fear into the genes.
Is it because of Nuwa and Fuxi?
Feng Feng, who received the oriental culture, thought of this possibility, if the creator would engrave such a gene on the created objects.
Then it seems to make perfect sense.
Thinking of this, Feng Xi suddenly laughed, he was really strange, he actually thought about these myths and legends.
And Crow looked a little depressed when he saw Feng Xi laughing.
"Lord Fengxi, I know this is a bit embarrassing, but, but it should be no problem for us to go out and have a look."
"Hmm."
Listening to Crowe's words, Feng Xi groaned slightly, then looked at the denser woods upstream, and agreed to go out to have a look.
"Let's go, we're really going to have to figure out if there's a road outside."
