Qingchuan History

Chapter 128
It was Ruan Xueyin who spoke.She came here in the morning the day before yesterday. It was cloudy and foggy, which is not unusual for early mornings in southern China.But it was afternoon at this time, and the sky was clear and clear all the way they traveled. It was okay when they first entered the mountain, but the further they went, it started to become chaotic.

But the chaos is also a fresh chaos, the grass and trees are still fragrant, but the air has become less light.

Then I heard Chunfeng answer with a smile: "It's not all like this, it's because Xiao Mo led this way, there is something strange." She blinked her eyes, quite mysterious.

Gu Xingmo turned his head and glared at her, and continued to walk in the front without answering the question.

"Oh, what are you talking about? Since you left with your sister-in-law, you are one of your own. Besides, it's just your guess, and you haven't actually seen it."

Ruan Xueyin was curious by Chunfeng's words, and couldn't help but ask: "The Thirteenth Prince found the place where the Nine-Colored Deer haunts?"

Chunfeng said "tsk tsk" a few times: "Sister-in-law, you are really smart. This kid has been in Xiling for five years, and he misses the nine-color deer. He sneaks over to look for it when he has time. The place we are going now is his most promising place. one place."

The mountain road became increasingly difficult to walk, and the soil under my feet was wet.This forest is really dense with vegetation, especially the road under your feet is more difficult than all the places Ruan Xueyin has walked in the past few days.

The gold of the sun began to darken, and blended with the green of those plants that also darkened into an indistinguishable deep oil paint.Apparently it was near dusk, and the increasingly dense and opaque Takagi blocked the already fading sunlight.

Yunxi and A Yi couldn't move, and Chunfeng, who was always alive and kicking, started clamoring and struggling.

"Hmph, I can't make it every time, so don't follow me next time."

Gu Xingmo looked back at Chunfeng, disgusted, and stretched out his hand to pull her, a small person with a serious face.

"My little brother, he's duplicity," she took a few steps up Gu Xingmo's hand, and said confidingly to Ruan Xueyin, "Ninth brother is the same. So sister-in-law, don't be fooled by appearances, he is—— "

"Ouch!"

The use of the topic has just started, and it has not yet entered the main topic. They only heard a low cry from behind, and when everyone turned their heads, they saw A Yi lying in the mud and grass, his facial features were distorted, and he was obviously in pain.

Yunxi hurried to help, Gu Xingmo looked at Baili and frowned and said: "Didn't I tell you to protect the two girls? The one who opened the way in front of me is fine, and the one behind you is broken?"

The implication is that Yunxi and A Yi are in charge of Baili, and Chunfeng and Ruan Xueyin are under his care.

A nine-year-old boy, the shortest, the youngest, with the most childish face among the crowd, standing at the front of the line and sternly speaking these words is really a bit ridiculous.

"These two girls are weak in their feet. I saw that their footwork was wrong, and they would fall sooner or later. I see that Mrs. Pei can walk on mountain roads. It is naturally easier for His Highness to just look after His Highness Chunfeng."

Ruan Xueyin sounds interesting, but she thinks that Gu Chunfeng and his brother are a pair of royal family wonders, and the people who serve close to them are more able to talk back than the other.

Gu Xingmo is obviously very used to it. When he wanted to refute, Chunfeng preempted him: "Madam Pei grew up in the mountains, or lived directly on the mountains. She has traveled farther than you, so it is natural and appropriate. Listen to what you just said, you mean this princess Also dragging your feet?"

Baili pouted: "Subordinates dare not."

"I see you have nothing to dare." Then he turned to Gu Xingmo and said, "You little guy thinks I'm slowing down, I really hate it. Ah Yi was injured again, I have to take her back to see. If you don't go, you go .”

Gu Xingmo was speechless and funny, thinking that he couldn't move and didn't want to go, and there was always a good reason.Then he waved his hand and said: "Go back, go back. Take you all slowly. Baili, you are responsible for taking His Highness out. A Yi is injured. If you encounter patrolling soldiers when you go out of this forest, ask them to escort you. return."

Ruan Xueyin asked Yunxi after hearing the words: "Are you still able to walk? If it is really difficult, go back to His Highness Chunfeng first. I will be with the thirteenth prince. I will be back in Baili later, so don't worry."

At this time, Yunxi's legs were sore and weak, and she was carrying a small bundle on her back, which contained Ruan Xueyin's cloak.She really couldn't move, and she was worried, so she forced a smile and said:

"Where is it so delicate. There is no one in Luling, and it is almost dusk, so the slaves have to stay and protect Madam."

Ruan Xueyin was about to say more, but Gu Xingmo said: "Come on, with your ability to walk mountain roads, it's really hard to say who will protect who. Baili will lead the way and will return later. His Highness Chunfeng is dragging A Yi alone. Even if there is a soldier escort, it is inconvenient after all, so you can go and help together. There is still some time before nightfall, and we will arrive after a short walk, and we will not be able to speed up with you."

After ordering decisively, she felt impolite again, looked at Ruan Xueyin and said, "What do you think, sister-in-law?"

"Very good. Let's do it."

Yunxi was still worried, and reluctantly stepped forward with her heavy legs, unfolded the burden on her back, took out the crimson cloak and put it on Ruan Xueyin, and said: "It's cold in the evening, and it's even colder in the forest and mountains." Some, don’t catch the wind when it’s hot.”

Ruan Xueyin felt a little angry when she heard what she said, so she patted her hand and said, "Now that the cloak is on, you can follow His Highness Chunfeng back first. You are not breathing evenly at the moment, so you can barely go up with me, and it is also difficult to go down the mountain .We're going to hurry back and we'll be fine before dark."

Yun Xi looked towards the dimly lit distance, and said worriedly: "Why don't we forget about it today? Let's come earlier tomorrow, bring more people, and it will be safer."

"Don't worry about it. Xiaomo has walked this road for a year or two, and there must be more than a dozen times a year. It's nothing." Gu Chunfeng couldn't wait anymore, reached out and took off the wreath on his head, and gently fiddled with the flowers that started Withered florets.

Gu Xingmo also interjected: "There are no ferocious beasts in this mountain forest, but there are few small animals, especially this section. This is also one of the basis for me to judge that the Nine-Colored Deer is around. Sister Yunxi, I am still sure about the safety issue." , mainly depends on whether my sister-in-law is willing to go on. I always have a chance to come, and I don't care about today."

Ruan Xueyin thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "After walking for so long, I really don't want to give up halfway. Although it is almost impossible to see the nine-colored deer, it is good to know the place. After all, I will stay in Xiling for a few days, and then I will not use it." Please trouble the Thirteenth Prince to lead the way."

At the moment, the reason is sufficient, Yunxi can't persuade him anymore.But seeing Chunfeng whispering something in Gu Xingmo's ear, he patted the hem of his skirt and pulled Yunxi and said, "Let's go, let's go down the mountain quickly, so that Baili can come back early. If we continue to drag like this, It's getting dark."
