Chapter Seventy-Four: Dependent Origin and Extinction

Shen Li held Mu Yan in his arms and silently glanced at Shen Yan. Shen Yan nodded, toe lightly, and flew up to a nearby big tree. After a while, he jumped down from the tree, his face was a little ugly, and said, "It's the eldest brother and their people, they should have followed us when they saw us enter the forest." ”

When they got out of the stable, they were already being followed. Shen Li and Shen Yan had already noticed it, but they didn't say anything. I wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of it after entering the mountain, but I didn't expect this situation to suddenly appear.

"What's wrong with them?"

Shen Li frowned, and couldn't help hugging Mu Yan in his arms a little tighter. Although he didn't see the situation, he also smelled a trace of blood, and it seemed that something should have happened to the boss.

Shen Yan shook his head, "I don't know, it looks like it's supposed to be cannibalism." When I saw my eldest brother, he also looked panicked, as if he didn't understand what was going on. ”

said this Lin Zixuan earlier, and now it has been even more proven. Shen Li didn't think much about it, and spoke calmly. "Leave them alone, let's go first. ”

The plan is far less than the change, he and Shen Yan were still thinking about whether to attack their brother before, but it is better now, let's ask for more blessings for ourselves.

"Third brother, leave the eldest brother alone...... Is that good?"

Shen Yan was obviously worried about the situation over there, and he couldn't help but want to go over to help when he was in the tree just now. After all, he is a brother, although he was not born to a queen mother, but he also has the same blood in his bones.

"You're going to take care of it, then you can help and see if he will thank you afterwards. ”

Because this forest was completely beyond Shen Li's expectations, and Mu Yan's mood was not right at this time, Shen Li's heart was already a little irritable. At this moment, he didn't want to be entangled in the matter of brotherhood with Shen Yan, so he put down his words and left with Mu Yanjing in his arms.

Seeing this, Shen Yan also felt that he was not too indecisive. He looked at Shen Li's back, looked behind him again, and finally gritted his teeth, kept up with Shen Li's pace, and didn't pay attention to the situation on the eldest prince's side.

Since the three of them came in, there has been no concept of time in this forest. Because it was dark overhead, there was no daylight at all. So I don't know what time it is. The three of them walked for a while, and Mu Yan didn't hear that voice before his emotions began to slowly recover.

Shen Li saw that she was a little tired, so he decided to stop and rest first. took out the dry food in the package and handed it to Mu Yan, but saw that she shook her head and said that she didn't want to eat it. After that, the three of them leaned against the tree to take a nap, obviously they should be on guard, but somehow, they felt that their eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and gradually, gradually, they fell asleep in a blur.

Seeing Mu Yan and Shen Yan fall one after another, Shen Li almost subconsciously pulled out the dagger on his waist, raised his hand and slashed his arm. The tingling sensation came, and it kept him awake. He first looked around vigilantly, and after finding nothing abnormal, he hurriedly went to investigate the situation of Mu Yan and Shen Yan.

My body was a little weak, and I felt that it was so difficult to take two steps. Shen Li couldn't help but smile bitterly, he never thought that he would be so embarrassed. I think he has been silent since the death of his mother, and at a young age, he already knows the horror of people's hearts. The throne, the Mu family, what he wanted to get and what he wanted to destroy, had been brewing in his heart for a long time. He walked all the way, step by step, so nothing could stop him.

Thinking of this, he suddenly had strength. walked to Shen Yan's side and probed his nose, and only after finding that he was just in a coma, he put his mind at ease. Then he walked over to Mu Yan and sat down, just looking down at her face quietly, his eyes as complicated as when he first left the stable.

No one knew that one year, Shen Duyi went to find the high priest, and the young Shen Li secretly followed him out of curiosity. He hid behind the stone pillar, expecting to wait for the high priest to talk to his father halfway through, when he suddenly jumped out to scare them, but he didn't expect to hear his father talking to the high priest about his mother.

That year, the queen mother was critically ill and could only lie in bed every day to recuperate. That year, he was just sensible, and he heard that his father would celebrate the whole country on his birthday.

On that day, he heard the high priest say to his father that the Empress Xia and Concubine Xue could only live one. If you want to save Concubine Xue's life, you can only sacrifice the summer queen. If His Majesty can't bear it, he can also drive him away. The father pondered for a long time, and finally dropped the three words and turned away.

It can't be done.

He didn't understand what it meant at first, until the day of his birthday, until the day he happily went to look for his mother, he saw that her eyes were closed and she was silent, no matter how he swayed, she never opened her eyes again. At that moment, he finally understood what it meant to not be able to do these three words.

The father was reluctant to go after the summer, so he no longer cared about the life or death of the mother. The high priest had the ability to reach heaven in vain, but he could not save the life of the concubine. So, since he can decide life and death when he sits on the throne, what is the use of the Mu family? When he sits on the throne, who lives and who dies is just his words.

He never believed in fate, so he never had a good impression of the Mu family. Especially when I was a child, I was often plagued by the delicate and willful Mu Yan. Because she was the granddaughter of the high priest, even if she did not want to, she had to patiently accede to any unreasonable demands she made. Until the high priest died suddenly, he went to the Mu family to offer incense with the attitude of watching a play, wanting to see if the head of the family died, which of the following couldn't help but want to jump out. Unexpectedly, he was hugged tightly by Mu Yan, who suddenly ran out, and in front of everyone, he couldn't push it away, so he could only pretend to pat her back and comfort her.

But what he never expected was that when his father saw this, he actually promised her to him on the grounds that the high priest had died and her parents were no longer alive. In front of so many people, how could he refuse? He could only kneel down and thank him and marry this burden that he did not expect.

That's right, unexpected. At this moment, he can feel the distress caused to him by this unexpectedness. He has always believed that his life is like playing chess, step by step, and he has already arranged it for him. He is the master, and everyone is a pawn. But Mu Yan's move really made him a little at a loss.

Shen Li sighed lightly, leaned his back against the tree trunk, and looked at the unconscious man quietly. As he said before, this forest is full of strangeness, and now Shen Yan and Mu Yan are unconscious, and his strength has not recovered, so he can only wait and see. He originally asked Yuluo to follow him secretly, but now it seems that something should have happened to Yuluo. Otherwise, when he sensed that something was wrong just now, Yuluo would have appeared, and he would never have allowed him to take out a dagger and use self-harm to keep him awake.
