Just when I was about to open my mouth and make excuses not to go,
The eldest lady interjected and said, the guard is not allowed to ask for leave. If you don't obey, I will tell my father what you asked me about, and he will kill you.
Feng Ziyue was so angry that he couldn't laugh or cry anymore. They took their bows and arrows and set off. This time they arrived without even a follower.
Feng Ziyue was carrying the eldest lady’s favorite snacks, a kettle, a rope sack, a fishing net, and simple pots and pans.
When Feng Ziyue saw that they were going to have a barbecue on the spot after hunting the prey, she couldn't breathe under the weight of more than 100 kilograms. With helpless expressions on their faces, the two of them left the west city and headed straight for the suburbs.
The two walked out for three to five miles and came to a big river to rest for a while. After walking a few steps, they saw more than a dozen big trees in front of them. Two red and black horses were tied to the big trees.
The eldest lady looked at Feng Ziyue and said, God can't bear to see you walking with more than a hundred kilograms of stuff on your back. You are so tired that you specially gifted two war horses.
Go, go, go,
Let us ride horses and gallop across the open borders in search of prey,
Feng Ziyue wanted to worry about him. It was better to have a horse dragging pots and pans than to carry them on his back.
Putting her belongings on the horse, the eldest lady jumped on the horse, whipped her horse and galloped away into the distance.
Feng Ziyue followed closely with his horse and whip raised, and he saw the eldest lady in front of her, her red robe swaying in the wind, her back looked like Zi Yunfeng,
The eldest lady's black horse galloped, carrying a line of soil into the dense forest.
Feng Ziyue felt bad when she saw the overlapping mountains, strange rocks and steep cliffs. This kind of place is most prone to accidents.
He was shouting that it was too late, the young lady’s horse was gone,
Feng Ziyue accelerated into the dense forest and shuttled back and forth through the caves in the Grand Canyon to search. After searching for a long time, there was no sign of the eldest lady.
At this time, Feng Ziyue was sweating on his forehead and muttering in his mouth, if the eldest lady had any shortcomings, he would be in trouble!
Suddenly a group of big birds flew up from the grass and flew away, chirping.
Feng Ziyue pulled the reins and saw a high slope on the side. The horse came to the high slope and looked down.
I found a small river ahead and a bow and arrow beside the river. I quickly came to the front and it turned out that the eldest lady had dropped it.
Leading the horse along the river, he walked about 300 meters and found a narrow path in the middle of the Grand Canyon.
I saw a group of wolves, wild bears, and tigers not far away, staring at me and my horse with eager eyes.
Feng Ziyue shouted towards the Grand Canyon for a while, and the valley buzzed and echoed. Time could not be wasted, so he jumped on his horse and ran into the Grand Canyon path.
As I ran, there was no way ahead. The horse was too fast and I couldn't catch it. The horse hit the cliff and died gloriously.
Feng Ziyue muttered that she was really unlucky. Every time she followed the eldest lady out, she was unlucky. The last time she was taken to the cave by Kuang Motian, she almost died.
This time it seems to be similar except that the enemy is not seen!
Carrying pots, pans, bows and arrows, I climbed up the hillside and wandered around. I found the eldest lady hiding behind a stone wall under a crooked tree, seeming to be peeping at something.
Feng Ziyue hurriedly stepped forward and asked, only to find out that the eldest lady's horse had also been killed!
The eldest lady whispered, look, there is a luxurious manor in the dense forest on the border of this deserted place.
Feng Ziyue looked sideways and saw that there was a house on the hillside. There were three courtyards in the front and the back with tall stone walls.
Houses built of stone and wood are very particular about red paint and yellow tiles. It is difficult to see the situation in the courtyard from three to five hundred meters away.
The courtyard is surrounded by trees of different heights.
Feng Ziyue said, Miss, who lives here has nothing to do with us. Let’s go back quickly. The sky is gloomy and it’s going to rain.
The eldest lady held a bow and arrow in her hand and shook her long hair and said, "If we walk back, we probably won't be able to get out of the Grand Canyon until it gets dark, and we will be eaten by wild beasts."
The house ahead is in the mountains. You will definitely need a mount when you go out. Horses are indispensable. I have some silver to buy two horses back to the city.
It’s good to hear the wind from the moon,
The two of them slowly walked down the steep cliff, and after a lot of effort, they finally reached the outskirts of the house.
The eldest lady was stupid and ran straight to the gate. Feng Ziyue stopped her and said, don't rush in yet. The terrain here is complex and there are many border sects.
We flew to the wall of the courtyard to investigate. The two of us flew up the wall and saw that the door of an unoccupied room in the courtyard was closed.
The two climbed along the wall to the east side and saw the door of the living room in the second courtyard opened and two people talking.
Feng Ziyue heard that the voice was very familiar and when she looked carefully, she was so frightened that she almost fell off the wall!
He saw Hu Yuanxi and Guo Zhuangzi in the room, and thought to himself, how could these two people be together?
It turns out that Hu Yuanxi took great pains to hide in the deep mountains and old forests. The wall was too far away from the room to hear the conversation inside the room, but I could tell that the two of them were in a good mood, laughing and joking.
After a while, Hu Yuanxi sent Guo Zhuangzi out of the gate and turned back to the house.
Feng Ziyue and the eldest lady also left quickly and came to the Grand Canyon to sit among the flowers where no one was. The eldest lady said happily, why is Guo Zhuangzi here? It seems that something big has happened.
Feng Ziyue didn't dare to ask more questions for fear that the eldest lady would become suspicious. She rolled her eyes and thought of a way to stay and see Hu Yuanxi's movements.
He tentatively said, Miss, I see that this manor is very big and has many houses. It’s getting late and we won’t be able to go back in time.
It's too dangerous for beasts to roam in this wilderness. How about we sneak into the house and rest for a night before leaving tomorrow?
The eldest lady readily agreed, "Okay, okay, we can play hide and seek at night."
The two hit it off and slowly moved closer to the manor.
After Hu Yuanxi entered the house, he closed the doors and windows and leaned on the recliner with the letter in his hand, thinking, Wow, it seems that Taoist Sanque is not a loser, he actually knows where I am!
Shaking his hands, he opened the letter and read the contents. It was very simple. The chief helmsman condescended to come to the Meimei Inn in the border lantern town to gather together tomorrow.
Hu Yuanxi closed his eyes and contemplated whether to go or not. The weather in the deep mountains and old forests was changeable. It began to rain lightly and the wind blew, and the rocks and trees rustled.
Birds and beasts chase and prey,
Feng Ziyue and the eldest lady entered the manor and took advantage of the cover of the wind to push open the door of the wing and enter the house. When they entered the house, they were happy to see that it was the kitchen.
The house was stocked with all kinds of vegetables, seasonings, and fresh prey. Their stomachs were already growling, and they were devouring everything.
Hearing the creaking sound of the door, Feng Ziyue and the eldest lady looked at a middle-aged man walking in through the crack of the window.
The middle-aged man was dressed in simple clothes, wearing a bamboo hat and a broadsword on his back. His clothes were soaked by the light rain. He looked around with his eyes and concentrated on running to the backyard quickly.
Both Feng Ziyue and the eldest lady knew the man who came in. He was Nan Lei, Hu Yuanxi's subordinate.
The eldest lady pretended not to know the people in the courtyard and said, "Let's go to the door of the house and listen to what they say."
Feng Ziyue touched her forehead and said, Oh, you don't have a fever. Shunming is a little stupid.
The eldest lady snorted, what did you say!
Feng Ziyue said, Miss, don't be angry, haven't you seen the people in the courtyard coming from unknown places? We’re done when we’re discovered!
The eldest lady laughed evilly and said, "So you are afraid of death. If you don't go and eavesdrop, I will go alone."
