One Curtain Wind Moon Nine Heavens

Chapter 98
It turned out that after Dong Tang and Jin Shui left the main team, they found themselves lost not long after.In order to avoid accidents, the two walked together and made marks along the way, but no matter how they walked, they always returned to the original point.

Although the environment in which the two grew up was harsh and full of hardships, they had never been so helpless like this moment.

From being calm at the beginning, gradually becoming anxious, to finally wanting to cry.

This psychological torment is very scary to them, but it seems to be watching a scene of excitement in the eyes of others.

"Princess, we must have entered some maze?" Luo Yan looked around and analyzed.

"Dantai Mountain has been abandoned before, maybe someone took the opportunity to come in and tamper with it?" Wu Xi spoke cautiously and was highly vigilant, "Should I send a signal to inform Ji Guanshi?"

"Not busy." Yuan Zhao stopped, looked around, carefully observed the plants and trees in front of him, and asked, "Who of you knows the daily patrol route?"

Her question made all the guards look at each other in blank dismay.

"Returning to the Princess, since I received the training according to your wishes, Steward Ji ordered us to limit our daily patrol routes to the backyard, and we don't know about other locations..." a guard hesitated.

"It's strange," Luo Yan frowned, "Since I came to Dantai Mountain, Ji Guanshi doesn't distribute the patrol map to everyone like before."

"That's right." Shi Zhu was also puzzled, "Usually all of us have pictures, and we are no different from the guard camp."

"Maybe you think we don't need it for the time being?" Shi Mo scratched his head.

"Whether we need it or not is not up to Guan Ji." Shi Zhu retorted to his younger brother, "What if the princess asks us to run errands?"

Taking shortcuts is the usual style of the princess. In Nanzhou, she disliked the long and winding roads in the mansion. She climbed over the walls of the general's mansion more often than going through the main entrance and corner gates. Steward Ji would know.

"Stop arguing," Yuan Zhao stopped the two brothers from arguing, looked at every tree in front of him, and said, "In short, you don't have a map, and you don't know the daily patrol route. Manager Ji won't make such a low-level mistake."

In other words, Steward Ji knew there was something wrong with this forest, but he didn't say it, which was not in line with his usual style.

To him, her safety was more important than the test of the guards.

Yuan Zhao thought about it, and raised his brows high: this kind of trick to deceive children, other than parents, don't think about it.

She tilted her head, stood by and watched, as if rewinding in her mind, some fragments kept flashing.For example, as soon as you enter the forest, you will encounter miasma, which makes you confused and unable to find your way. In the end, you will see Dongtang and Jinshui spinning in circles.

Look at these trees, the height is uneven, the thickness is disorderly, the weeds are overgrown, and there is no abnormality... Ah!There is an exception! ! !Seeing the plants not far away, Yuan Zhao's eyes lit up, and he waved to the guards excitedly:

"Keep up, don't fall behind!"

Huh?Found the way so quickly?As expected of the princess!
All the guards let go of the big stone in their hearts, and followed closely behind cautiously.Especially Dongtang and Jinshui, closely following Nanbai and Beilin.

Just when everyone thought that she had found the mystery of the eye formation, unexpectedly, she turned around a small piece of green plants with eyes full of surprise:
"Wild peppers?!"

How can there be wild peppers in Dantai Mountain? !She couldn't believe her eyes, she stared at one of the small clusters of fruits, looked left and right, stretched out her hand to crush one and was about to stuff it into her mouth, when she wanted to taste whether it was spicy or not, she was blocked by Luo Yan next to her.

"Princess, most of the bewitching things in the mountains are poisonous, so don't try them indiscriminately."

Look, it's red and green, maybe it's highly poisonous!

"Why are there wild peppers here?!" Yuan Zhao was shocked, staring at the guards, "You don't know each other?"

Well?Well, all the guards shook their heads together.

Yuan Zhao: "..." Then why are there wild peppers here?Isn't that the species in the dream?

Guards: "..." What the hell is wild pepper?Look at the eyes of the formation that scared the princess and couldn't break through?
"Princess," seeing her staring intently at the bunch of strange green creatures, Luo Yan worried that she might be bewitched like the two of Dong Tang, so she quickly reminded her, "This place is weird, so it's not suitable to stay for a long time."

"Yes, princess, let's talk after leaving here." Wu Xi agreed.

Getting lost in one's own territory, apart from embarrassment, also has a trace of worry, worrying about the safety of Lord Hou and his wife.

After being reminded by the two, Yuan Zhao came back to his senses, his expression returned to normal, and directed Lian Shang and Zhi Lan:
"You two collect these fruits and go back and study slowly."

"Let me come, be careful it's poisonous." Luo Yan stopped the two who were about to go forward.

She looked around, picked a slightly larger leaf nearby, and drew out her dagger.Yuan Zhao caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye, and hurriedly said:

"Pick half and keep the other half, don't hurt the roots."

I'm not afraid that Luo Yan is cautious, but I am afraid that she will chop up all these wild peppers and uproot them for safety's sake.Explanation is useless. If you haven't seen it before, you must be cautious about the fear of unknown species. She can understand.

Seeing that Luo Yan picked carefully according to his words, Yuan Zhao heaved a sigh of relief, and refocused on the miasma in front of him.The big guy has been in it for a long time, and he is still unharmed, which shows that the miasma is not poisonous.

"Dongtang, Jinshui."

"exist."

"Both of you go forward again." Yuan Zhao pointed to the front where he couldn't see the road clearly.

"Huh?!" The faces of the two changed drastically.

But the princess had an order and had to obey.The two looked at each other, encouraged each other with their eyes, swallowed twice, and straightened their chests.

"Don't panic, both of you." Seeing their timidity, Yuan Zhao looked back humanely, and stretched out his hand to the guards behind him, "Who has the rope?"

Before anyone could react, the Shi brothers had already taken two small bundles from their waists.As a guard, to deal with many crises, tools such as dagger hidden weapons and flying hooks for climbing walls are indispensable.

"You two take it and keep going."

"Okay!" Holding it, Dongtang and Jinshui instantly became more courageous, straightened their backs full of fighting spirit, and said to the big guy, "Wait, everyone, we will go back as soon as we go!"

Puchi, everyone was amused by their words, watching the two of them take a deep breath and enter the miasma without hesitation.When the figure was gone, the big guy held his breath and stared blankly at the empty front.

In the time of a cup of tea, Luo Yan returned to the team after picking half of the wild peppers, and the rope in the hands of the Shi brothers also moved.

Under the close attention of everyone, the rope gradually fell to the ground loosely. Just as the big guy started to worry, two figures gradually appeared in the miasma ahead:

"The princess told us to go forward, why do you want to go east?"

This is Todo's voice.

"There is a pit ahead, why don't we just jump into it without turning a corner?" This is from Jinshui.

"Maybe it's an illusion!"

"Then...how about we go back and dance again?"

"also."

So, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the two circled back to the tree they circled before and jumped forward.Huh!The two of them seemed to have stepped on the air and fell into the deep pit. They were so frightened that they were screaming and scrambling beside the tree with pale faces.

When they came across the tree, the two of them hugged the tree tightly as if they were grabbing a life-saving straw, and shouted hoarsely:
"Princess! Help!"

This pit is so deep!Bottomless, not an illusion!
The princess and guards who watched calmly: "..."
