Diqiu asked Chapter 197 Hidden in the forest
Lu Anran didn't really want to find out about other people's secrets, but she thought about what happened just now, if one of the two would do a little light, everything would be much more convenient.
For the royal family, the practice of martial arts not only strengthens the body, but also avoids many dangers, and although there are usually close guards and secret guards around them, there are always unpredictable disasters.
For example, last time, if Zi Sang Jin had kung fu, Redbeard would not be so easy to succeed.
Only those who know how to do it can truly belong to themselves.
Therefore, even the county lord of Ding'an has a little bit of fist embroidery on his body, and as the prince, he has no power to restrain the chicken, which is really unreasonable.
After Zi Sangjin's words, the two became relatively silent, listening to the branches 'crackling' and bursting in the fire, and simply leaned against the mountain wall and closed their eyes to rest.
In the second half of the night, Lu Anran felt a little chilled, and when she opened her eyes, she found that the fire was about to go out, and the dead branches around her had been picked up, but there were still a lot of them on the ground near the place where Zi Sangjin was.
Lu Anran leaned over and just picked up a branch, raised his eyes to the dark eyes of Shangzi Sang Jin, his eyes were sharp, with a little ruthlessness, and his hand quickly touched to the side, empty.
Consciousness is awake at this time.
After Zi Sangjin saw that it was Lu Anran clearly, she rubbed her head, "What are you doing?" ”
"The fire is gone." After Lu Anran refilled a few dead branches, he turned his head sideways and said, "With His Highness's vigilance, if His Highness knows how to do some tricks, I might have let His Highness kill him on the spot just now." ”
Zi Sangjin leaned back, and in the quiet night, his voice was a little hoarse, "I'm used to it." ”
The two words of habit are unremarkable, but they seem to carry an incomparably heavy weight.
Xu is no one else except for the two of them, and there is no need to worry about whether the wall has ears at all times, and there is no need to be alert to how he should be as a prince all the time, or because of the common hardship, or the rare luck of the two nights tonight, Zi Sangjin has the desire to confide.
He just felt that sitting in a cave like this, the environment was poor, he couldn't eat, and he still had injuries on his body, but it was a peace he had never felt in his heart.
"I had an illness when I was four or five years old, and it was originally just ordinary typhoid fever, but after drinking the medicine sent by the palace people, it became more serious." Zi Sangjin said about his own business, a little long, with a trance on his face, "Later, I found that there was more flavor in the medicine, like chronic poisoning, the more you drink, the more toxins accumulate in your body." ”
He lowered his head and looked at his outstretched palm, smooth and white, without the calluses that martial arts practitioners have, "Later, the poison was cleared, but the master said that his body was broken, and it was not suitable for martial arts training again." ”
It was actually for this reason that Lu Anran didn't want to spy on the situation in the palace, and he could be sure that this inexplicable extra medicine must not be a mistake by any imperial doctor.
"In this matter of the Zhou family and Xue Tai, do you think that this palace is scheming and has calculated everyone thoroughly." Zi Sangjin laughed at himself, "Zi Sanghao is frank and cheerful, Zi Sangyi is simple and straightforward, they are not like this palace, they are camping all day long, and when they open their eyes, they are fighting for power." ”
He looked at the dark night sky outside the cave, the heavy rain didn't know when it stopped, only the drizzle was left to drift softly, and the voice was empty, as if he was saying it to Lu Anran, but in fact, he was more talking to himself, "I was born to be a prince, but is this prince easy to do?" No one ever gave me a choice, and I had to do it. ”
Because once he loses the position of the crown prince, it means that he will not survive.
"Zi Sang Hao's frankness and cheerfulness are followed by Concubine Shu's step-by-step planning, Zi Sang Yi is the prince, and his biological mother is the queen, they are qualified to be innocent and kind." Zi Sangjin turned his head, and a pair of eyes filled into the night, so dark that there was no bottom, and his eyes were cold and deep, "This palace is not like them, this palace can only rely on itself." ”
His biological mother is a princess of the previous dynasty, and his mother's family has no backing, but has become a drag, he stands on a high platform piled up of gold and jade, others only see the bright and beautiful, no one knows, what he looks down and sees, step by step, all of them are composed of sword poison, every step is on the sharp knife, if you are not careful, you will be sealed throat.
At that glance, Lu Anran couldn't describe it correctly, it contained too many things, as if the pressure that had been carried for more than ten years was all released in this eye, and even with her, she felt that the air was full of suffocation.
"Why did Your Highness tell me?" Lu Anran asked.
Zi Sangjin closed his eyes again, and said in a toneless tone: "Maybe it's because you often face the dead and don't often deal with the living. ”
Lu Anran understood, no matter what the prince said tonight, after leaving here, he was still the noble prince of His Royal Highness, and she was still a disciple of the Jixia Palace Doctor, the daughter of the Lu family, and the little servant of the Criminal Division.
It didn't matter what she said, and these words were completely cut off from her.
—
It rained in the evening, and the next day it was sunny again, and the water was shining, fresh and green.
He He was worried that Nangong would stop them from going the wrong way, so he decided to join them.
Nangong stopped marking a tree, and a trace of thought rose in his eyes, "Miss Hehe, do many people usually pass by here?" ”
He He shook his head, not knowing why he asked this, but Yun Qi had already understood, and explained: "There are more than traces of one or two people." ”
"Yes, it's not obvious, but the subtleties can still be seen." Nangong Zhi opened a large leaf and pointed to the footprints on the ground, "This seal is relatively complete, judging from the diamond-shaped pattern at the bottom, this person should be wearing cloth brocade double-beam shoes." ”
This kind of shoe has a high sole and a rich color on the upper, which is very popular with some people, and ordinary people can't afford to wear it.
But if you want to drop a little silk thread and the like, you can also distinguish the noble from the low, the origin of the origin, now there is only one sole texture, there is no way to explore in depth.
There were still quite a few such marks on the ground next to it, but it was hard to notice that something had been roughly smeared, and weeds covered it.
This is also a barren forest where no one is around, and it is a bit deliberate to deliberately erase the traces.
He He said: "There used to be, but after the rumors of the Yaksha killing people spread, no one dared to come, even the Orions would not come here. ”
"Why?"
"It's strange to say, after the appearance of the Yaksha, it is difficult to hunt larger prey in the forest, and the king of the village said that the birds and beasts of the Emperor Hill may have eaten all the Yaksha."
Yunqi rolled his eyes: "Yaksha eats people, so I don't have to erase the traces." ”
"It's doubtful."
He He thought of something, and said with a sigh: "The forest where Xiufang lost her way is almost in this area. ”
"How did she come here?"
"At that time, she heard the voice of a person, she was curious to follow her, but in the end she didn't find anyone, and accidentally stepped on the landslide and strayed into this place."
Yunqi knew about this and didn't take it seriously, but after they came to the forest in person, they were a little puzzled, "She broke out by mistake from here?" ”
If it weren't for the fact that He He was familiar with this side of the road, and it would be difficult for them to find the way just by relying on a topographic map, Xiufang really had such good luck that she could always find the right one in countless forks in the road?
He He wrinkled his brows and thought carefully for a long time, "Actually, Xiufang also said something, I was afraid that you wouldn't believe it, and I was afraid that the people in the village would cause rumors when she hit the evil spirit, so they only told me alone." ”
Xiufang curled up in a half-man-high tree hole that night, half of the gall in the wilderness was scared, where did she dare to fall asleep easily, she couldn't stay up until dawn, her eyelids were heavy and she began to doze off, and she heard someone arguing in a daze.
She was confused at that moment, and vaguely saw a tall man with a back and a shorter woman arguing, and the woman's voice was too sharp for one or two to wake Xiufang.
Xiufang wanted to get up and take a look, but the two disappeared on the spot, and another figure with a slightly slumped back appeared, thinking it was an old man, but the shadow of the person swayed left and right and walked very briskly.
Xiufang finally saw someone, and she was scared anymore, and chased for a while, but she didn't catch up, but let her inadvertently walk out of another way.
After listening, Nangong Zhi frowned and said, "If it weren't for Xiufang's imagination...... What secrets are still hidden in this forest? ”
Lu Taotao slipped around and came back, just heard it, and said casually with a serious face: "Harm, maybe it's the Yaksha family living here, didn't it say that the gods are haunted, come and go without a trace, in line with the habits of the Yaksha." The more I thought about it, the more it made sense, "No wonder you eat a full house as soon as you eat it, but you can't raise a big family, and the less meat is not enough." ”
—
Coincidentally, Qi Shang and Feng Tian also managed to find a cave to shelter from the rain the night before, but they were a little unlucky, and their clothes were all soaked.
The rain came so fast and so fast that it didn't give people time to react.
Feng Tian took off his robe and threw it to Qi Shang, his face was pale with cold, "What the hell is the weather, what the hell is the place, it's still cold like a dog in summer." ”
Qi Shang inserted two big wooden stakes into the ground, he neatly stripped off his clothes and hung them on his head, and when he turned around, he saw Feng Tian trembling in his underwear, and said, "The little marquis also took off his underwear and roasted it with fire, so it was uncomfortable to wear." ”
"Take it off, you want to look at the master's body in vain, you want to be beautiful!" Feng Tian pursed his lips, not only did not untie it, but tightened it tighter.
Qi Shang couldn't understand, "We are all men. ”
The little marquis jumped to his feet, "What's wrong with the man?" Men have to take off their clothes and be honest with each other, are you exhibitionist? ”
Qi Shang stood in place and was silent for a moment, first took his underwear and roasted it above the fire, and when his clothes were dried and dry, the corners of Feng Tian's clothes were still dripping.
Feng glanced at it obliquely, the little marquis who was accustomed to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and playing with all the treasures and treasures, was a little envious of the worthless clothes that had been roasted and dried.
He leaned even closer to the fire, almost causing the tongue of fire to burn to the back of his hand, and his face darkened, "The whole world is against me!" ”
Qi Shang walked over, the muscles under the wheat-colored skin without clothes were strong, and he looked extremely cold and hard, he handed over the clothes that were finally dried in his hand, "If the little marquis doesn't dislike it, you can put on me first, change your wet clothes, and I'll dry them later." ”
"Disliked!" Feng tilted his face, "Who wants to wear it if it stinks." ”
After a cup of tea, Feng Tian was wearing Qi Shang's underwear, his sleeves rolled up a few layers, and his stomach patted, "I'm hungry and thirsty, you can get me something to eat and drink." ”
After walking all the way, Qi Shang almost touched the temperament of the little marquis, there was no big evil, but the family was arrogant and indulgent, and his body was too squeamish.
The squeamish little marquis couldn't be hungry, Qi Shang picked a leaf above the entrance of the cave, and was about to give him some rain to quench his thirst first, Feng Tian reached out and grabbed something and threw it over, "There is a bowl here, why don't you have to use leaves." ”
The ceramic bowl rolled on the ground three times, and when it stopped dangling, Feng Tian and Qi Shang, who had reacted, looked at each other.
"How can there be bowls here?"
