Nono from another world

Chapter 192 The Second Prince

Faced with Lao Huo's doubts, Li Wei was not angry, but just snorted coldly and said: "The mine is so big, can you guarantee that Nuonuo and the others have been to every place? All right, if you don't go, forget it." , anyway, now that the mutation has been resolved, those innovators may have gone through the mine to escape, even if we go after it now, it will be too late..."

Seeing what Li Wei said, Yuehua also hesitated immediately, thinking that those innovators were indeed probably hiding in this mine, and there was no danger in the mine now, so he nodded and said: "Okay then , let’s go in and have a look. But before going in, Lao Huo, you should report the situation here to the higher authorities.”

"Okay!" Lao Huo agreed, took out a small box from his rucksack, opened it, and found that there was a crystal clear crystal in the box, but this crystal was very different from ordinary crystals. Different, if you look closely, you can find that the crystal is engraved with densely packed characters, each character occupies a small area, and it looks extremely neat.

Lao Huo skillfully knocked on the crystal, and with his movements, a light blue light rose from the crystal, which looked extremely beautiful. One minute later, Lao Huo put away the things in his hand, gestured "OK" to Yuehua, and the three of them set off towards the mine.

……

At the same moment, a man in a black robe was standing in front of the black forest.

From the horses under him, it can be seen that this person almost ran all the way to this place without even taking a break.If it weren't for someone supporting this panting war horse, it is estimated that this kind of war horse, which is known for its bravery in the empire, would have fallen on the spot.

The man in black is the number one person in the Western Division, Xu Ran.

And it was Antonio, the general in charge of this area, who stood in front of him respectfully.

In fact, in terms of official rank, Antonio and Xu Ran are considered to be on an equal footing. To some extent, he, the general guarding the Black Forest, has more power than Xu Ran.But the actual situation is that as early as the day Xu Ran took office, all affairs, large and small, on the border were basically handed over to Xu Ran.

This young man, who is only 30 years old and only sixteen or seventeen years old in appearance, has already controlled the entire west without knowing it, but the higher authorities turn a blind eye to this.Of course there are elements of strength in this, but more...

Thinking of this, Antonio raised his head and looked at Xu Ran, and said in a low voice and respectfully: "Second prince, I didn't expect such a trivial matter to alarm you. The fact is that the subordinate's supervision is not effective, and I hope you will punish him!"

Xu Ran didn't seem to like Antonio's title very much, his expression changed suddenly and he said: "How many times have I said that I have nothing to do with the royal family now."

"That being said, after all, you..."

"After all what?" Before Antonio finished speaking, Xu Ran interrupted him directly, and said with a sneer, "After all, the royal family hasn't released relevant news, right?"

"This……"

Hearing this, Antonio immediately didn't know what to say, so he had to keep his mouth shut.

Just when he was silent, Xu Ran's handsome eyebrows revealed a hint of disappointment and sarcasm, and said, "Why, forgot the business?"

Just when Xu Ran said these words, a gust of wind suddenly blew between the two of them, and countless grasses were broken by the wind.

Antonio lost his mind for a moment.

The wind wasn't a strong wind, and it was obvious that the grass didn't break because it was too fragile.

"Second... my lord..."

Antonio is a practitioner. He knows that the power that breaks the grass comes from Xu Ran's body, and being able to control this power so well without making people feel any difference at all, it can only mean that , Xu Ran's cultivation has reached a certain level.This made Antonio a little distracted, but at this time Xu Ran had already spoken slowly, interrupting what he wanted to say.

"There are many people in this world who are stronger than me, but there are very few who can pass through the entire Black Forest without being injured."

Xu Ran jumped off the horse, bent down and picked up a piece of green grass, chewed it slowly in his mouth, tasted the slightly sweet and bitter taste, looked at Antonio and said slowly: "The world has very different views on practitioners. Some people think that The stronger the power, the stronger the practitioner; some people think that it is the most remarkable to be able to kill the invisible... But in my opinion, the strongest is the one who dares to try all difficulties."

"This innovator friend traveled through such a large forest and deliberately ran to let go of a small prey. He must have wanted to tell us that he can pass through the black forest at any time, but we... still only dare to hide behind the black forest. Trying to use the natural barrier of the black forest to spend the rest of my life in peace."

"This is a challenge to us, but also a mockery to us. If we don't respond, we will lose no matter what."

Speaking of this, Xu Ran suddenly laughed: "It's very interesting, such an opponent is unexpectedly very suitable for me."

Xu Ran only said a few words, but these few words already made Antonio feel cold sweat dripping all over his body. He bowed slightly, and said with an unnatural expression: "What does your lord mean?"

"People have come to the door, if we don't respond, wouldn't it be rude?" Xu Ran said coldly, "Since he can come, why can't I go?"

Hearing this, Antonio's heart suddenly thumped, and he hurriedly shouted: "My lord, you must not! The black forest is a place of no return. If you have any mistakes, we...we can't explain it to you." what!"

"Where there will be no return?" Xu Ran sneered, "Since the innovator appeared, there is no natural danger here anymore."

After saying this, Xu Ran walked straight towards the edge of the black forest, and said to Antonio without looking back: "Send someone to prepare dry food for me for ten days, I want to set off immediately!"

Looking at Xu Ran's back, Antonio fell into a deep embarrassment.

He doesn't know Xu Ran's temperament well, but he knows that Xu Ran has always been unruly in his work, and he is very self-centered. Basically, he is the one who says nothing. Even ten cows may not be able to pull him back.

It's just that he originally thought that no matter how willful Xu Ran was, he would not rush into the black forest so impulsively, but in fact he not only wanted to go, but also planned to go right away without even taking a break.

The second prince is completely insane. He only focuses on cultivation. It is no wonder that there were rumors that the old emperor wanted to pass the throne to the second prince, but he didn't know what happened. The second prince ran away at a young age. Stayed in the western branch, started from the bottom, became the minister of the western branch at the age of 24, and built the western part into what it is now in just six years.

……

"Xu Ran will definitely come. He is a person who can't stand loneliness. If he knows that someone has crossed the black forest before him, no matter how dangerous the front is, he will definitely set off immediately."

Just when Antonio was in a dilemma because of Xu Ran's decision, at the other end of the black forest, in a canyon, there were two people standing on a big tree, looking at the endless Forest, talking about Xu Ran.

The person who spoke was an old man with white beard and hair, a little short and fat, with a ruddy complexion, and looked very kind.

Standing beside him was a young man in black. This man had a cold face and thin lips. He looked extremely cold and cunning, which made people feel very scary.

The two formed a stark contrast, but the young man was extremely respectful to the old man, and just listened to each word with his head bowed, not daring to interrupt at will.

"But teacher, he is the second prince of the empire after all. If he is discovered by his people secretly protecting him, he may not come in so easily." After getting the old man's permission, the young man pondered for a while and said, "In addition , if we kill him, it will only anger the old emperor, which is obviously not good for us now, we don't have the strength to fight against the entire empire."

The old man whom he called a teacher shook his head and said, "You are wrong, we are not trying to kill him."
