Half a month later, a caravan was sailing in Shannan, thousands of miles away from the capital.

Under the Qiongxia sky, it is a continuous mountain range that sets off people incomparably small, and more than 100 people ride horses and walk on the mountain path, like ants moving.

The flying pigeon passed through the woods, but it accurately found its owner from a group of "ants" and landed on the arm of one of the people who walked in front.

"Obediently, it's just in time, let me see, where is the letter......" The man touched the pigeon with his hand, and took down the secret letter quickly, without opening it, only looking at the small words on the wax seal, only glanced at it, and his face changed slightly.

Letter from Beijing!

"Stop! Stop it! The man immediately raised his hand, stopped the team, and then urged the horse back to the middle of the team, turned over and dismounted beside a carriage protected by the knights, and said respectfully to the people inside: "Childe, there is news from the capital, this is a secret letter!" ”

The curtain of the car was lifted, revealing a pale but still handsome face, the slender fingers took the secret letter, and the young man showed the letter, only swept two lines, and a trace of sarcasm appeared in the slightly raised eyes.

"The national teacher begging for rain? Later, the observation deck was set up, and it was counterattacked because he saw through the sky? The hearts of the people in the capital are fluctuating, and the major high gates seem to have obtained some secret news, and they are secretly looking for the woman who was born on the sixth day of the sixth month of the sixth month of Geng Wu year? Oh, really...... Ridiculous. ”

He, Xiao Yichen, has never believed in himself, and does not believe in any ghosts and gods.

His father was the same, why was he confused by the Taoists after just a severe drought for more than two months?

If it weren't for the fact that this Taoist was a national teacher who was named by his father, and was canonized as a national teacher by relying on the skill of saving the driver, rather than the art of immortals, he would have asked people to teach this Taoist a lesson, where could he watch the other party put up a national teacher to do this ghost and god thing?

That is, for the sake of the other party not causing trouble on weekdays, he tolerated it to the extreme.

Now seeing that it is just a matter of pretending to be a ghost and watching the sky, it has caused an undercurrent to surge in the capital, and everyone is moving, Xiao Yichen is dissatisfied.

If you had known earlier......

He lowered his eyes and stared at the secret letter again, and suddenly ordered someone to take the fire fold, snapped the secret letter, and brought the secret letter over, watching the flames gradually lick the letter paper, under the firelight, his expression flickered and dimmed.

"Leave this alone in advance, just treat it as ...... I don't know, everything will be said after returning to Beijing. Xiao Yichen glanced at the henchman in front of him and spoke.

The man immediately replied respectfully.

"Also, although it is less than a hundred miles away from the border city of the town, and it is in the mountains where it is difficult for immortals to come out, it is still not necessary to relax your vigilance, the terrain here is dangerous, if someone sets up an ambush in front...... That's a great place for an ambush. ”

"Childe, don't worry, the subordinates have already asked Tanma to investigate the situation first, if there is nothing in front of him, he will go forward. It just so happens that there is a small forest further ahead, why don't you take a break by the forest for a while? ”

Xiao Yichen nodded: "It's okay." ”

The strong man then ordered to go down and continue on his way, and when he reached the small forest half a mile ago, he rested first.

As soon as they heard that they would be able to rest after walking for a while, everyone who was already tired and tired was refreshed, cheered up and continued to hurry.

The curtain was lowered again, and a gentle cough sound came from inside from time to time, which was worrying to listen to.

A flash of worry flashed on the strong man's face, and he simply did not urge the horse forward, but continued to stay by the carriage, just slowly urging the horse, following the carriage side by side, occasionally glancing into the carriage.

"Commander, you say, can there be a good man in the town side city? Yesterday's heavy rain, Gongzi accidentally rained, although the heat subsided, but coughed for half a night, it is not a trivial matter to go on like this. A guard disguised as a caravan man quietly urged his horse to the strong man's side and asked in a low voice.

The strong man thought for a while and said: "Let people boil some ginger syrup in a while, no matter what, let Gongzi drink some first, and the rest, wait until you get to the place, even if it is a border city, it is still a big city after all, and it is impossible not to cure the wind and cold Langzhong." ”

"Yes." Hearing the commander say this, the guards finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The strong man's heart is not as calm as it seems.

Since many years ago, he followed His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness's situation is not optimistic, the princes who have grown up are eyeing the position of the prince, and His Royal Highness the Prince's biological mother died early, only the emperor and the queen mother are blessed in the palace.

This also makes the master he follows always advance and retreat, and he has long lost all the problems of young people, but he has also lost the joy of young people's life, no matter what he does, it is like he is doing it in order to become a perfect prince, and he has never been held by anyone to do anything.

Even this time, he asked for a will and secretly went out of Beijing to find the relatives of the former queen thousands of miles away, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also had his own plans, and he had escaped several assassinations in the open and secret before.

Who would think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not yet a double ten age.

Thinking of the previous assassinations encountered on the way, the man followed the reactivated carriage forward, while secretly watching his surroundings.

This is the land of Shannan, thousands of miles away from the capital, ten miles of different days, the first time may be the sun shining, after a while you may encounter heavy rain.

The speed at which they were walking was not fast, if it weren't for the fact that their destination was not far away, someone would have already gone to the town border city a hundred miles away to deliver a message, and just rushing in this deserted place was enough to make the more than 100 people in the team tense their nerves.

But the assassin who is already approaching his destination, even the assassin who chased him from the capital, I'm afraid he would have given up a long time ago, right?

Besides, if it weren't for the local guide who had been looking for a long time in the team, it would be difficult to get out of this big mountain, and the terrain was extremely complicated, like a huge labyrinth.

Crash.

Just as their group finally came to the clearing on the edge of the forest in front of them, ready to set up camp and rest, countless birds suddenly seemed to be greatly frightened, and suddenly came out of the depths of the forest.

"Alert!" With a snap, all the attendants grasped the hilt of their swords and the hilt of their swords.

But the strange thing is that as soon as the bird flew out, there was no movement around, except for the look of surprise on the faces of their group, no one else appeared.

It doesn't look like there's an ambush.

Or was it because they were alert that the ambush did not appear?

"Childe, why don't we get out of here first, the situation here is not right, and there is always a bad feeling in the hearts of my subordinates, as if something is going to happen." The strong man walked to the carriage and said to the people inside.

Xiao Yichen got out of the carriage, refused the support of his subordinates, looked around, and said: "It is precisely because the next part of the road may not be smooth, so you can't rush reluctantly, let people take turns to rest." ”

“…… Be. The strong man bowed his head in response, and then said to the others: "Continue to camp, be careful, don't let people get close here!" ”

The rest of the people responded with a bang, and I don't know if their voices stimulated the animals in the mountains in the distance, and the wolf howls one after another also sounded in the distance.

"Your face is not very good-looking, don't you still think about the legend of some mountain ghost and spirit?" Walking to the local guide, the strong man keenly noticed that the guide's expression was wrong, and asked with a squint.

"I warn you, if you take the ten taels of gold I gave, if you want to escape, I won't spare you!"

The guide's face was pale, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and said to the strong man: "This lord, there are really mountain ghosts here!" There are not only mountain ghosts, but also mountain kings! If you meet a mountain ghost, you may still be alive, but if you meet a mountain king, we people are not enough to stuff the mountain king's teeth! And ......"

"And what?"

"And the villain suddenly discovered that the vision of this flying bird may be a sign that the mountain king is about to go down the mountain, my lord, let's get out of here first! It's too late, but it's too late! ”

Is it broad daylight?

The so-called mountain monarch dared to kill the team of more than 100 people? Are you kidding?

Moreover, isn't this so-called mountain monarch a tiger?

As the commander of the guards, the strong man with more than 100 guards is not afraid of any tigers at all.

He sneered and said, "Okay, more than 100 of us, if the tiger dares to come, you can eat Shanjun meat tonight!" ”

Before the words fell, a tiger roar suddenly came from the distant mountain, followed by a flock of birds flying up in that direction, and the entire territory seemed to be silent because of this tiger roar.

"Is there a tiger?"

Except for the people who were burying the pot and cooking, the rest of the people in the clearing looked in the direction from which the tiger roared from, the mountain was steep and high, and the place where they were currently located was some distance from the mountain, but they still felt that the mountain was quite close.

The so-called Wangshan ran a dead horse, which is exactly like this.

With the naked eye, they actually saw a beast whistling through the mountains, that fierce posture is simply daunting, even if it is a distance away, it can be seen that this tiger, and the tiger they saw in the Hundred Beasts Garden in the capital in the past, is not like a breed! It's amazingly big! At least twice as big as the Hundred Beast Garden Tiger!

"This is Shanjun? It's also too ...... Big! ”

"Wait, look, is there something chasing after that tiger...... No way? That's people? ”

Someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed, and at this moment, even Xiao Yichen, the prince who didn't care much about this kind of thing, couldn't help but glance in that direction.

Just one glance made Xiao Yichen's whole person stunned.
