Your Majesty will suffer

In the depths of the dense forest, Nangong Ji held his breath and focused his attention, his eyes scanned the surrounding bushes and grass leaves inch by inch, thinking that the beast should be tired after running away for a long time, but if he waited a little longer, he would be able to catch it.

Sure enough, a brown-red shadow leaped across the dry bushes only a few dozen steps away, and this figure was far less light than before!

It was a red fox. Nangongji had been chasing it all the way since the encounter. He was exhausted and hid in a clump of half-dead roots and grass leaves. It seemed that he could only resign himself to fate.

Nangongji adjusted his breath, stretched out his hand and drew out the arrow, and strung the bow!But at this moment, there was a faint sound of horseshoes behind him, and I couldn't help feeling annoyed.

But the beast seemed to sense that he was distracted, and suddenly rushed out as if desperately trying to escape!Nangongji was startled, and made a decisive decision, and the feathered arrow flew away!

The red fox fell in response!

Nangongji was overjoyed, and was about to ride his horse forward, but the sound of hooves came behind him.

Those who came were the guards escorted by the mountain.It turned out that Yue Ling wandered around the foot of the mountain, but he felt bored, so he also rode his horse into the mountain, but he ran into the dense forest halfway and left his servant behind!Everyone is looking for it right now.

Nangong Ji was shocked when he heard that, he couldn't care less about the prey, and hastily rode his horse back.

The mountains are deep and the forests are dense, coupled with the rainy days before, the humidity is very heavy.

Shuttle among the flowers and leaves of the trees all the way, people and horses are covered with rain and dew.Along the way, I met the guards of Soushan, and they all said that they were going south, and they seemed to have left the main road.

Nangong Ji heard it, and felt a little more anxious: the forest in the south is denser than that in the north, there are many streams in the mountains, and there are two dangerous cliffs, because of this, the scenery there is also excellent!Only because of the danger, there are very few visitors.

When we reached the South Peak, it was already past noon, and the water vapor in the mountains gradually receded, and the smog and mist disappeared, so the field of vision was naturally much wider.Looking up from a distance, under the lush greenery, there is a cliff with sharp edges!The danger is dangerous, but it is extremely magnificent.The mountain stream finally merged into several streams on the top of the chaotic rocks, and flew down to form a waterfall. It rushed all the way down the mountain and collided with the rocks, and then flew back into the air, drawing a rainbow of seven colors in the gorgeous sunlight.It's a pity that no one has the heart to appreciate this beautiful scenery at the moment.

Looking at the topographical map of the mountain, Nangong Ji frowned: There are two roads going down the mountain, but it is not known whether Yue Ling can control the Huihe horse he sat on at this time, so it may be superfluous to speculate which road he will take right now. .In other words, he didn't listen to dissuasion and decided to go to the mountain, but he even replaced the good horse that the Yumajian had prepared for him, and the Huihe horse he chose was tall and strong, but still wild, it was originally a spare for the Jin people!It's good now, the instructor's house has chosen it!Thinking about it, after this, I don't know what kind of mess I have been doing under the mountain now!

At present, everyone only dared to think about the good, or they just lost their way in the mountains, and the wild horse would not be injured!If this is the case, it will be fine, and if you spend some effort anyway, you will be able to find it sooner or later.

After thinking about it, Nan Gongji decided to go down to the depths of the forest to search for it. He thought that if the horse was frightened by the people chasing it, it might run straight to a place where there was no one else.Fortunately, except for some birds and deer, there are no ferocious beasts in this forest, but snakes, insects, rats and ants may be unavoidable, which will inevitably scare you!So he didn't dare to delay, so he rode his horse deep into the forest.

Although it is the sunny side, May is the time of frequent rains. In addition to the dense forest, it is extremely difficult for sunlight to penetrate the lush branches and leaves. Moss is everywhere in the shade of tree roots and grass, which is extremely slippery.Nangong Ji tightened the rein in his hand, making the horse move forward cautiously, looking around, trying to find some clues.

After walking for a while, they saw a patch of grass that seemed to have been trampled on. The guards searched carefully back and forth, and found that the branches of the surrounding trees were also broken and scattered. It seemed that something had rammed into it.Nangongji suddenly felt ominous: Could it be that the horse committed a wild rampage?While worrying, another guard reported that he had found fresh horse manure!After following the trail, I really saw the horseshoe prints left on the wetland!Seeing this, everyone patted their horses and went deep to search.

Unexpectedly, the more urgent the matter, the more likely it was to cause chaos. Before taking a few steps, Nan Gongji's mount stepped into the quagmire, almost turning his back on his back.Pulling the reins violently to appease the frightened and neighing mount, Fang breathed a sigh of relief. He raised his head and saw something hanging on a branch in the distance. The flowers were neither flowers nor leaves. Only when he approached did he realize that it was a yellow bag. , should be a special Dragon Boat Festival sachet in the palace.

Nan Gongji was a little puzzled, judging from the traces, the sachet was not on the horse path that was just determined!Could it be that the official family went and turned back?If so, why is there no horseshoe print there?still. . .Others are no longer in the same place?The officials intentionally left this thing, but to guide the people to find it?After some hesitation, he ordered the guards to search separately.

The forest ahead is still dense and dark, so far away that it seems that there is no end to it!

Yue Ling was extremely frustrated, and regretted his recklessness just now. On a whim, he wanted to go up to the top of the mountain to look down on the mountains and rivers, but he didn't expect that Huihe horse was so wild that he couldn't control it, so he ran into it without paying attention. In this deep mountain and dense forest, there is no way to find a way out now!The only fortunate thing is that he was unscathed at the moment. Just now, the animal ran amok in the forest, and finally plunged into the bushes before he was taught to restrain him. Unexpectedly, when he dismounted to rest, the animal ran away again, so he could only Walked out on his own.

The forest is deep and the trees are tall, so it's hard to tell the direction.Vaguely, it seems to hear the roar of water leaking, appearing and disappearing from time to time, or being carried into the forest by the wind.Yue Ling thought it was the sound of a waterfall outside the mountain, so he didn't care whether it was true or not, so he went looking for the sound of water.Unexpectedly, after walking for a long time, I found that I was still wandering in this forest!For a moment, I was frightened and tired, almost desperate.

There seems to be movement in the distance again!

Yue Ling leaned on a fallen branch, but he didn't have the heart to listen any more. He thought it was the mountain wind that caused the trouble: the sound of water, life, and horses were all hallucinations!But why is the sound getting closer and clearer, is it really the sound of horseshoes? !

Turning back hesitantly, he was a little suspicious that his eyes were dazzled---the one who came was one person and one horse!Meeting the eyes of the man on horseback, Yue Ling felt an unconcealable ecstasy in his heart, and blurted out: Nangong Ji!

Nangong Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief!This time, he guessed right!Going south from the place where the sachet was found just now, he should be able to get out of the forest the fastest. If he is Yue Ling, he must have left the forest that obscures the sun first.He just didn't know that Yueling chose this path because of the guidance of the sound of water.

He found the person first, but didn't know when the guards would come, so Nan Gongji planned to continue walking out of the forest.Yue Ling had already lost his previous "spirit" at this time, so he let it go.

The two walked side by side, silently, the surprise just now seemed to have quietly disappeared.Nangong Ji originally wanted to give up the horse to Yue Ling, but Yue Ling was not willing because he was shocked just now, so the two had to walk together on one horse.

After walking for a while, Yue Ling suddenly became restless and asked, "How do you know that this road leads to the outside of the forest?"

Seeing his confused face, Nangongji guessed that he must have gone around too many circles in the forest just now, and he was afraid of taking the wrong road, so he couldn't bear it, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry, the official, if there is another half stick of incense time, I will still go." If I don't come out of this forest, I'll get down and play horse with the officials, how about it?"

Seeing that he was still able to joke, Yue Ling let go of his doubts, but let him go.The sound of water in the distance is getting clearer and brighter, and the light is getting brighter, and the heart that hangs more and more is finally let go.

The roar of the waterfall pierced through the forest leaves and hit the inner ear directly, and Yue Ling's steps became much lighter, as if all the strength was condensed in an instant.

Nan Gongji reminded: "The officials should be more careful with their feet, and be careful of the vines..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the man suddenly stop, looking at his feet with a look of horror!Following the direction of his gaze, Nan Gongji saw the eclipsed thing at a glance---a big piebald snake, spitting out its core at the person coming!

He dodges to block the man behind him, draws his sword and raises the knife, the snake's body is still twisting, but its head has already landed on the ground!It's just that a section of snake tail is still at the official's feet!

Yue Ling came back to his senses, and suddenly took a few steps back, which happened to be hanging on the vine on the ground. He groaned, but he couldn't stop his feet, and fell straight on his back. The back of his head hit a protruding old tree root. There were stars in his eyes, and he was dizzy.

Frightened, Yue Ling half fainted. . .
