As we spoke, the horses were already carrying us into the woods.

"Your grandfather's horse is not a walking horse, but a homely pack horse, and he is exhausted after running for most of the night.

"As soon as we reached the Rock Valley, where I set up camp when I first entered the mountain, as I told you before, the horses stopped and did not go.

"I got off my horse, helped Yuhua down, and said to her, 'Now the horse can't walk, and there is no road ahead, it's all mountain paths, so we can only go on foot.' ’

"Yuhua said firmly, 'Then let's go!'

"I laughed and said, 'Haven't you heard of the old horse's way?' Let's untie the reins, take off the saddle, let it go, and it will find its way back.' ’

"Yuhua said, 'Aren't you afraid that someone will intercept you on the road?'

"I said, 'It's two or three hours before dawn, and it's all right to run all the way back in the night, and when it's daybreak, it's gone.'" ’

Yuhua nodded.

I let the horse go, and took Yuhua's hand and continued to advance deep into the forest.

"The forest is pitch black at this time, and we can only distinguish the road ahead by the faint light of the stars overhead and the dim light of a crescent moon.

Yuhua held my hand tightly.

"Listening to this bizarre and strange voice of the forest, I asked Yuhua, 'Are you afraid?'

"Yuhua put her arm around me and said, 'I'm not afraid. It's just that I feel like there's a lot of eyes around us. ’

"I laughed and said, 'That's still afraid.' It's okay, I've walked this road, it's safe. Two hills ahead, we arrived. ’

"Yuhua asked, 'Where are we going?'

"I said, 'Go to a place where no one is looking for us. ’

Yuhua stopped talking.

"By the time dawn came, we had only crossed one mountain, and we were still halfway to the main mountain boundary of the Dry Devils on the west side of the ditch.

"Suddenly, a voice came from the grass on the side of the road: 'Noble!'

I looked around, but I didn't see a single figure, and Yuhua's hand holding my arm tightened.

"I shouted: 'Who is it?'

The grass on the side moved.

I asked Yuhua to stand where she was, and stepped forward to push away the grass, which was empty.

"The moment I turned around, between me and Yuhua, a blue figure flashed out of thin air.

Yuhua screamed in fright.

The blue figure fell at Yuhua's feet and said, 'Don't be afraid, princess. I'm not a bad good person. ’

"Only then did I see that it was a drought.

Yuhua still stood in place, so frightened that he didn't dare to move.

I walked to Yuhua's side, and Yuhua lay in my arms.

The Roughman was still on his knees, motionless.

"I said to her, 'Get up.' The princess had never seen a droughtman before, and you scared her just now. ’

"The drought man said, 'The princess atonements, the princess atonements.' ’

"I stepped forward to pick up the Drought Man and asked, 'What are you doing?' How did you appear here, this is the main road for the Wa Emperor to walk the mountain, aren't you afraid of being seen by the Wa Imperial Family?'

"When I asked, the drought man sighed and said, 'My name is Ran Shang Tu, and I am the younger sister of Lord Shoufu Ran Shang Tho. Originally, I led the troops in the southeast to guard the fortresses of the Drought Realm and the Huandou Realm.

"'Yesterday night, we were attacked by the Huandou people from the air, and the soldiers were killed and wounded, and I was the only one who escaped under the cover of everyone.

"'After the Huandou people defeated us, I found that they were flying in the direction of Junshan again, so I rushed all the way to Junshan, wanting to go back to report the news. As soon as I passed by, I heard the sound of someone walking, so I hid.

"'Later, I saw you, a noble man, and I wanted to show up to see you, but when I saw someone with me, I used the stealth method and hid in the grass, hoping to lead you aside and see you again. But when I got closer, what I didn't expect was that the person who accompanied me was our princess. So I accepted the method of invisibility and showed up to meet each other. ’

"When I heard that she kept calling me a nobleman, I asked curiously, 'Have you seen me?'

"Ran Xiangtu said: 'A month ago, I went back to the capital to report on my work, and I happened to meet a noble person who came to Mount Eighty-one, and I saw it several times from afar. Because in my arid realm, very few people from the Wa royal family come, and those who can come to my mountains must be the nobles of our clan, so they are commensurate with nobles. ’

"Then I asked, 'But how can you recognize the princess since she was a child, and she has lived in the world?'

"Ran Xiangtu said: 'Five years ago, I was still an attendant to Her Majesty's side, and once I once pretended to be the porter of the porter of the picker, and accompanied Your Majesty to visit the princess in the realm of Emperor Wa in disguise, and I met the princess once. Although the princess was still young at that time, her appearance had not changed much in five or six years, so I recognized it at a glance. ’

"At this time, I suddenly remembered what Ran Xiangtu had just said, the Huandou people attacked them from the air, and flew towards Junshan, and suddenly my heart tightened, and I hurriedly asked: 'The Huandou people who attacked you this time are all able to fly?'

"Ran Xiang said thoughtfully: 'Yes, although the Huandou people had wings, they had never seen them fly, so how could they all fly this time?'

"I realized that what the monarch said before was right, the flying ability of the Huandou people can really be stimulated, which is a great misfortune for the Drought Clan.

"Yuhua listened to the conversation between me and Ran Xiangdi, confused, and asked timidly: 'Buddha Dai, what are you talking about, what nobles, princesses, can you fly, why don't I understand at all. ’

"I looked back at Yuhua and said, 'I don't have time to explain now, we have to go back to Junshan quickly, I don't know what happened to Junmu and Shoufu now. ’

There was a roar from his mouth, and not far away from the birch forest ran out of the woods of the drought-man man's steed - the blue-maned horse.

"Ran Dressy took the reins and said, 'Let the nobleman and the princess mount.' ’

"I first helped Yuhua to the horse, and then jumped on the horse myself.

"I was about to ask her what to do, but she jumped up, stood firmly on the horse's head, and flung the reins with her hand, and the blue-maned horse galloped away like an arrow from a string in the direction of the ditch.

The blue-maned horse crossed a hill in front of him, ran into a ditch, and ran out of the ditch from the other end to the place where the bridge had been broken.

"I looked up and saw clouds and mist in mid-air, and the surrounding peaks were straight into the fog, and I couldn't see anything unusual or audible.

"I said, 'It seems that the Huandou people have not arrived here yet, and perhaps they have not come to attack Junshan. ’

Ran Sang jumped off his horse and searched for something in the grass and bushes on the ground.

"I said, 'What are you looking for?'

Ran Xiang didn't answer me, and continued to look forward.

Soon after, she sat on the ground and began to cry.

"I hurriedly jumped off my horse and came to her and asked, 'What the hell is going on?'

"Ran Sang cried and said, 'It's over, it's all over. ’”
