Empress, she is beautiful Lu Ziye

Chapter 411 Formation
This matter has been planned for a long time, from the beginning when rumors were released that there were bandits on Wuti Mountain, to the time when a group of young people officially went up the mountain, several months passed.

Up to now, there have been several conflicts between the two sides. Fortunately, these officials did not doubt it. He did not expect that Xiao Rongxi had already discovered something was wrong after only two days in Jincheng, and he even stated their purpose accurately.

Xiao Rongxi guessed it, she guessed it, but she couldn't help but be surprised to hear Du Rongshan admit it personally.

To force the people to become bandits, what did the government here do? !

With a fire in his stomach, he couldn't help but look at Nan Zhen, who patted the back of his hand lightly.

There are so many injustices in this world, what they have seen is only the tip of the iceberg, but since they have encountered it, they cannot let it go.

Xiao Rongxi took a sip of tea, relieved his emotions a little, and continued to ask, "It's not easy to plan such a big event. There must be a leader. Actually, when I saw those half-grown children yesterday, I couldn't help it." I wonder who is the person who is pointing them behind the scenes, does the shopkeeper know?"

The words have been made clear to this point, and there is no need for Du Rongshan to tell lies.

"Forgive me, son, I really don't know about this."

Recalling the scene at that time, he continued, "I only heard that his surname is Cheng, and he lives in the suburbs. Before that, he was a farmer. He took the initiative to stand up and put forward this suggestion, which was approved by most people in a very short period of time, barely stabilizing the situation in Jincheng."

Otherwise, according to the government's practice, there would have been many bones in and outside the city.

He also had many guesses about the identity of this person surnamed Cheng, but unfortunately no one knew about this person.

As if in response to the difficult times in ancient books, when the people are in dire straits, there will be hermits and masters who will come out of the mountains to help the people tide over the difficulties.

"Cheng..." Xiao Rongxi bit the word lightly.

I know too little news, and I can't taste anything.

Afterwards, he asked Du Rongshan a few more questions, and then went back to his room.

The dinner was delivered to the room by Xiao Er.

Nan Zhen filled half a bowl of soup and was drinking it slowly when suddenly she saw the person across from her raised her head and said, "Didn't you say that you wanted to be the king of the mountain for a few days, how about we go to Wuti Mountain tomorrow morning?"

"Cough, cough."

The sudden decision made Nan Zhen almost choke, and she nodded after swallowing the soup in her mouth, "Yes. How does Your Majesty plan to go?"

"Go directly to the."

……

The next day, in the twilight of dawn, a dark brown carriage passed through the city gate, the wheels kicked up a cloud of dust, and finally stopped in the small woods, where Zhu Yong and Xu Li stopped at the beginning.

Xiao Rongxi got out of the carriage, stood in front of an inconspicuous path, looked up along the direction of the extension of the path, and closed his eyes until his sight was blocked by the dense jungle and could not be seen.

Originally, there was no road here, it was trampled out by life.

Nan Zhen raised her hand to cover her forehead, and looked at the swaying weeds on both sides of the path, "I remember that's where they came from. It looks like it's a shortcut."

"Let's go."

After Xiao Rongxi finished speaking, he took the lead to move forward.

Going out today, only he, Nan Zhen, and Fei Liu.

After the slope, there are still undulating and endless woods, but unlike before, the terrain here is extremely easy to ambush.

The further she walked, the more Nan Zhen frowned, the dagger slipped from her sleeve, and she held it tightly in her palm.

The perception of danger made her look around more vigilantly.

Stepping on the dead leaves made a slight sound, which startled the birds on the tree to leave the branches. Along with the chirping sound came the sound of bamboo arrows piercing the sky.

The bamboo poles were sharpened and flew straight towards the intruders.

The three reacted extremely quickly, changed their pace, and avoided most of the bamboo arrows with the help of flexible movements.

"Bang-"

Nan Zhen chopped off the last bamboo arrow at the waist, and before she could breathe a sigh of relief, there was another loud noise from behind.

The huge wooden stake was hanging upside down by thick vines, and it hit her straight.

Nan Zhen instantly fell back, then rolled to the side, dodging the attack.

"Are you okay?" Xiao Rongxi helped her up.

Nan Zhen shook her head and looked at the road ahead, "I'm afraid there are organs behind, no wonder the government has been unable to attack for a long time."

These institutions are all based on local materials, which are abundant and convenient, and ordinary people really can't react to the successive surprise attacks.

"Well," Xiao Rongxi responded, "Be careful."

After passing the first two passes, the road behind seemed much smoother, there were no more flying arrows and rolling stones, and the road was unbelievably quiet, not even the slightest sound of wind could be heard.

Fei Liu stopped in front of a tree that needed to be embraced by two people, stretched out his hand to caress the notch on it, and said to the two people beside him, "No, we seem to have been taking a detour."

He pointed to the notch, "Look, Your Majesty, this was made a quarter of an hour ago."

Xiao Rongxi stepped forward and took a look, his eyes became more interested, "Formation?"

I thought it was not easy to design the mechanism just now, but now there is a formation.

How could such a person be mediocre?

Xiao Rongxi only had some understanding of simple formations, but did not delve into them deeply, and Fei Liu was not proficient in this matter either.

The stones on the ground, the position of the trunk, the direction in which the branches extend... may all be the key, if you run around, you will only sink deeper.

"Before the dark guard went up the mountain, did you encounter such a situation?"

Fei Liu shook his head, "The dark guards took another road, which is more dangerous, so only checkpoints were arranged, and no other organs were arranged."

"Forget it," Xiao Rongxi narrowed his eyes, "try again."

A few people walked forward based on their feelings, and after a while, they returned to the original place again.

At this moment, it is impossible to advance or retreat.

I couldn't find the eye of the formation, and I couldn't find the way down the mountain.

The sun above the head is rising higher and higher, and it is estimated that it is almost noon.

Fei Liu took out dry food and water from the package and handed them to the two masters, and sat down in the shade himself.

Nan Zhen was not too hungry, so she divided half of the cake in her hand to Xiao Rongxi, and while biting, she looked at the dead wood in front of her, thinking about everything.

A bony hand picked up the loose hair on the side of her face, gently pinned it behind her ear, and followed her gaze, "What's wrong?"

"Hmm..." Nan Zhen hesitated for a moment, then said, "This formation seems familiar."

The master taught her a lot of skills, but she loved to play with swords since she was a child, so she has made some achievements in martial arts, but she is a little lacking in formation.

At first, she didn't realize that there was any mystery in this formation, but after going around a few times, she felt a sense of familiarity.

Nan Zhen stuffed the rest of the cake into her mouth, clapped her hands, got up, and walked around the dead wood. A flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she kicked it down.

The inside was eaten by moths so badly that it was almost an empty shell.

Looking in the direction where the tree fell, three feet away, there are several stones of different sizes.
