The carriage was driving under the scorching sun, getting closer and closer to Shanhuai County.
The wheels of the chariot rolled on the small stones in the mountains, making bursts of harsh noises, accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves, which had a bit of a taste of battle on the battlefield.
Two hours later, the carriage traveled from the Xiaolin Mountain Road into a dense forest. The towering trees on both sides were more than ten or twenty meters high. , they all hang down to the middle, blocking the scorching sun on the top.
This road is the only way to go to Shanhuai County and to be able to pass the carriage.
The whole forest is like a big ice cellar, it's so cold that the hair stands on end, and only a little light shines down, but it seems to be squeezed in desperately!
Fortunately, this road is not long, about a thousand meters away.
As soon as he entered, Jing Rong ordered four torches to be lit, two in the front and two in the back.
Jie—
Crow's cry!
Wei Yi was startled and hurried into Ji Yunshu's arms.
"Shu'er, what is this place? Why is it black?"
Ji Yunshu hugged him tightly and comforted: "Don't be afraid, this is a high mountain forest, just wait for it to pass."
"What is an alpine forest?"
"Okay, don't ask too much."
If it really continues, Wei Yi will definitely come up with a lot of strange words.
The carriage was still moving forward, but Ji Yunshu's heart became flustered as it went deeper and deeper into the forest.
Suddenly!
The wind blows outside—
A faint floral fragrance drifted in!
Ji Yunshu only felt his head sink, his temples hurt greatly, and his eyes drooped weakly.
"Shu Er, I... I really want to sleep..." Wei Yi said.
Ji Yunshu didn't even have time to look at Wei Yi, and the whole person fell into a coma.
And in the carriage ahead!
"There is such a ghost place." Mo Ruo lifted the curtain and glanced out: "No wonder the bandits in this area are so rampant."
Jing Rong sat upright, resting with his eyes closed, frowned, and asked, "The bandits are rampant, what does it have to do with this forest?"
"Look here, if there are no torches, it will be completely dark, and the terrain in the forest is complex and changeable, like a labyrinth. Lost and starved to death here, but the bandits in this area are different. They must be very familiar with this area. Therefore, even if the imperial court really sends troops to destroy them, they can escape as long as they hide in the forest. You can't burn the whole forest, can you?"
Of course not!
If it burns, it will burn the whole piece. If it encounters the north wind, it may also bring disaster to the nearby villagers!
Therefore, what Moruo said is not without reason.
Jing Rong closed his eyes and listened patiently, but at the next moment—
Eyes suddenly opened.
Surprised: "Not good!"
Yep
Before Mo Ruo could react, Jing Rong immediately got out of the carriage.
where to know—
The talent just came out, and a sharp arrow shot from the deepest part of the forest, just on his carriage.
Just a few centimeters away from his eyes.
If it strayed a little, the arrow would penetrate from his left temple to the other.
Just one second after the arrow was shot, another dozen or twenty arrows were shot from the depths of the forest.
Lang Bo reacted and drew his sword and ordered, "Protect the people in the carriage."
The guards pulled out their swords, and while picking up the arrows, they surrounded the carriages in an orderly manner.
Moruo also jumped out of the carriage, turned his wide sleeves, and tucked a few arrows into his sleeves. Then, with a flick, several arrows shot into the deep forest.
Jie—
There was a mournful cry of a crow.
Jing Rong hurried towards the last carriage, the sharp arrow passed in front of him, and he avoided it perfectly.
When the curtain of the carriage where Ji Yunshu was located was lifted—
Inside, there was not a single shadow.
"Yun Shu..."
He cried out like crazy.
The sound shook the sky.
Ru Mao's sharp arrows were still shooting at him, Jing Rong was so anxious that he lost his mind, and he didn't respond when he stood there.
A sharp arrow also shot at him at this time. It hit his chest, and blood immediately flowed out, staining his ink-colored robes.
Fortunately, Moruo rushed to his side in time, stood in front of him, and threw away all the arrows shot from behind.
The arrow rain did not last long before it stopped.
Probably, there are not enough arrows in the hands of the mountain bandits!
Moruo turned around and squatted down, pressing down on Jing Rong's shoulders without saying a word.
"Be patient."
Without giving Jing Rong any relief, he grabbed the arrow and pulled it out.
Looking at the blood on the arrow, Mo Ruo breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, there is no poison on the arrow."
"Yun Shu... Yun Shu is gone."
Moruo looked up at the carriage and said, "Wei Yi is gone too."
Both of them disappeared!
Jing Rong frowned in pain, propped herself up to remember, but was pressed down by Moruo.
Strictly said: "Although there is no poison on this arrow, but the sword edge has hurt the meridian in your chest, you need to stop the bleeding immediately, and you must not move with force, otherwise the meridian will open and your heart will be torn open, no one can save you."
"Get out of the way, I'm going to Yunshu, even if I kill everyone in Gaoshanzhai, I'll spare no effort."
Stubbornly gritted his teeth!
Those eyes, in addition to a look of hostility, there is also worry.
Throwing away Mo Ruo, Jing Rong stood up, her feet softened, and she slammed into the carriage and nearly fell to the ground.
Moruo said: "If those people want to kill, they will kill them here, and they will not be kidnapped. The most important thing now is your injury."
"If something happens to Yun Shu, I won't survive."
"She's not dead yet, do you want to die first?"
The two of them roared like that.
Jing Rong gasped and didn't answer for a long time!
At this time, Lang Bo ran over sweating profusely, and saw that his prince was injured.
Surprised: "My lord, are you alright?"
Jing Rong first glanced at Mo Ruo, and her heart gradually calmed down.
Weakly ordered Lang Bo: "For the time being, go to Shanhuai County. You send someone to Gaoshanzhai to see if Mr. Ji and Wei Yi are inside."
"Mr. Ji and Young Master Wei are gone?"
Lang Bo glanced into the carriage in surprise, and seemed to understand.
Quickly said: "Yes, this subordinate understands."
Jing Rong couldn't hold it anymore, cold sweat oozes out of his forehead, and his face turned pale.
When the sword edge pierced in, it was only a few centimeters away from his heart, and if he moved with force, it would be painful.
Moruo quickly helped him into the carriage.
He opened the curtain and asked Lang Bai, "How are Auntie Xie and Miss Ji?"
Lang Bo replied, "I was a little scared, but I have calmed down."
"Well, hurry out of the woods, go to Shanhuai County first, and you also send someone to Gaoshanzhai to investigate."
"Yes!"
