It was already dark.
In the dense forest, there are often inexplicable and strange movements.
And there are no traces of pedestrians walking here at all. It is obviously a deep mountain and wild ridge.
Along the way down, the rustling sounds around him made King Xuan vigilant.
Regardless of whether she is a queen or not, she is still a girl after all.
Under such circumstances, at first, she was still walking beside Xiao Yuan, but slowly, she could not help but grasp Xiao Yuan's arm tightly. Her pretty face was full of nervousness, and her beautiful eyes were looking at her from time to time. glance right and left.
Fortunately, there is a bright moon in the sky and the visibility is very high.
Every once in a while, Xiao Yuan would draw the King of Qin Sword and make some special marks on the trees, firstly to leave information to the two armies, and secondly, to prevent them from getting lost.
There was another sudden movement, as if something was crawling, causing the broken branches and leaves on the ground to stir.
"Brother Wang..." King Xuan was about to cry, clutching Xiao Yuan's arm tightly, tears already forming in his eyes.
As a member of the Lu family of Xuan Kingdom, she has never experienced such a scene.
"Don't be afraid, it's just some small animals that come out at night." Xiao Yuan comforted her and patted her little hand gently.
He knew that the two of them had to get out of here before nightfall, otherwise, the danger would be even greater.
This is even more true on the other side of the pool, where the forest is deeper.
Xiao Yuan has never been a person who sits still and waits for death, which is why he doesn't wait for Xu Hu and others. Once Xu Hu and others fail to arrive in time, he and King Xuan will be in danger.
As he was walking, he suddenly stopped.
King Xuan was still walking, but when he saw him stop, he couldn't help but pause: "What's wrong, Brother Wang..."
"Stop talking." Xiao Yuan interrupted her in a low voice.
King Xuan panicked and subconsciously pulled Xiao Yuan tighter, silently daring not to make a sound.
Sure enough, not long after, a pair of green eyes appeared in front of him.
Seeing this scene, King Xuan's expression suddenly changed.
Xiao Yuan protected her behind him calmly, and then started to confront the beast with his sword.
It should be a wild wolf. When hungry, it can be imagined that when it sees a human, it pounces on it instantly.
Xiao Yuan made a quick decision and pulled King Xuan to move sideways in a flash while waving one arm.
The wild wolf was in mid-air, trying to pounce, but was directly slashed by this quick sword.
King Qin’s sword is so sharp! There wasn't even a dull feeling, just a cold light passed by, and the wild wolf died tragically on the spot without even uttering a whimper.
This is a long story, but actually it only happened in a split second.
At the same time, King Xuan was caught off guard because he was suddenly pulled by Xiao Yuan. He staggered, as if he tripped over something, and almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Xiao Yuan reacted quickly and caught her with one arm in time.
With his strength, King Xuan immediately ran into his arms.
A slight exclamation.
In order to prevent King Xuan from falling again, Xiao Yuan hugged her waist.
Soft and fragrant.
Her body is very soft.
With a light fragrance.
The two of them pressed against each other, breathing together.
The scent of both sides lingers in my heart.
In the dark night, King Xuan's beautiful eyes dodge, he didn't dare to look at him at all, and his heart was pounding wildly.
He lowered his head for a moment, and his lips almost touched hers.
As if suddenly panicking, King Xuan pushed him away quickly, but the strange feeling in his heart could not go away.
I felt extremely nervous for no reason.
"Is Sister Wang okay?" Xiao Yuan asked.
"Hmm..." She nodded slightly.
"Let's go, we have to get out of here before midnight."
After Xiao Yuan finished speaking, he naturally took Prince Xuan's hand and began to walk forward.
Fortunately, they were lucky and didn't encounter any more dangers ahead. After more than half an hour, their field of vision gradually broadened.
Here, it is no longer the same environment as before.
By the moonlight, Xiao Yuan noticed this, immediately looked around, and became energetic: "Sister Wang."
"Ah?" King Xuan seemed to be still thinking about something.
"Look." Xiao Yuan pointed around and said happily: "Although there is no road here, there are traces to be found. Mountain people must often pass by."
The weeds here are obviously bare, and the roads are also made by people.
After hearing what he said, King Xuan also observed it, nodded and said: "That's true, Brother Wang, it seems that we are close to the edge of the residents."
"That's right, let's continue on our way." Xiao Yuan was overjoyed.
His observation was not wrong. Before long, the two of them followed the traces of the mountain people and left the forest.
A clear view suddenly opened up in front of us. After a few miles, there seemed to be farmland. Under the moonlight, we could vaguely see the villages not far away.
"That's great, Brother Wang! We're out!" King Xuan shouted excitedly.
Out of his previous habit, he grabbed Xiao Yuan's arm tightly again, with a look of joy on his pretty face.
"Yes." Xiao Yuan was equally happy. The two of them quickened their pace. After a while, they entered the village and came to a house at the entrance of the village.
Although it was night, the door still had to be knocked, because the two of them had no idea where they were and needed to inquire about some information from the villagers.
There was a knock on the door, and Xiao Yuan didn't knock hurriedly, but unhurriedly, and every few times, he knocked steadily and forcefully.
[51] “Who is it?”
A man's voice came from the house, and then the courtyard door opened.
He was an ordinary citizen, dressed like a farmer, with his hair tied up in cloth, and holding an oil lamp in his hand. He was not sleepy, but he yawned a little.
Xiao Yuan first looked at King Xuan, then slightly cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I'm taking the liberty of not disturbing my little brother's rest, right?"
The man then took a look at him and King Xuan, and saw that they were wearing brocade clothes, the man was as handsome as jade, and the woman was as beautiful as jade, and how elegant they looked, he couldn't help but was slightly startled: "Well, I don't seem to have such relatives, right? The two of you are..."
"I'm just passing by. I don't want to get lost or disturb my little brother if something unexpected happens. I just want to ask where we are," said Xiao Yuan.
"Ah, so that's it." The man suddenly realized, he said, where is this distinguished guest?
After a pause, he added: "Our village is called Liuhe Village. It is still more than 20 miles away from the county seat."
"May I ask which county is under its jurisdiction?" Xiao Yuan asked politely.
"Ping'an County." The man returned.
Xiao Yuan and King Xuan looked at each other again.
Ping'an County is still in Yiyang, but it is already a border area. It seems that they have traveled more than a hundred miles.
After understanding this, Xiao Yuan smiled at the man again and said: "Thank you for telling me, little brother. I hope you will disturb your dreams."
"Where? Young Master, the people in the city are very polite."
The villagers are simple and honest. After the man finished speaking, he subconsciously glanced at the two of them and said with a smile:
"I think you two must be husband and wife, right? They are truly a match made in heaven..."
At this time, King Xuan was still holding Xiao Yuan's arm.
Hearing this, his face turned red and he let go hurriedly.
