72. Chapter 72 Entrance
Chapter 72 Entrance
"That's it!" Rong Li cupped his hands and said, "I've learned a lesson from you!"
Xiao Jingchen chuckled: "She said you are worse than a dog, and you don't even know it."
Upon hearing this, Mu Qiulan hurriedly waved her hands and explained: "That's not what I meant, I just...just used a metaphor."
"Miss Mu, there is no need to explain, I understand." Rong Li glanced at Xiao Jingchen and said deliberately: "Some people... just like to misunderstand other people's meanings, thinking that everyone is as petty as him."
Mu Qiulan didn't expect that Rong Li was so bold and dared to say something wrong about Yan Jingchen. She hurried to see his reaction, but saw that Yan Jingchen just glared at Rong Li and said: "Mind yourself!"
"
After saying that, he turned around and walked back.
It seems that the relationship between the two is very unusual, otherwise they would not be joking like this.
She actually felt that Xiao Jingchen like this was more real. With a close friend like Rong Li who was outspoken, he should have a lot of fun bickering in his spare time.
"Ignore him!" Rong Li said, "Let's go back too!"
"Yes!" Mu Qiulan nodded, but accidentally slipped and fell into the valley.
When Xiao Jingchen heard the shouting, he turned around suddenly and rushed over. Seeing Mu Qiulan's whole body buried in the layers of blood-leaf ferns, he quickly followed him and rushed down the valley.
Mu Qiulan slowly got up and rubbed her head. She just rolled down all the way and her head was buzzing. Fortunately, the mountain walls and the valley were covered with blood-leaf ferns. She didn't suffer any injuries, except for her arm.
There were several blood marks on the leaves.
As soon as she stood firm, she saw Xiao Jingchen also coming down, and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I am here."
Xiao Jingchen's heart suddenly fell to the ground. He walked to her side and scolded: "Why are you so stupid? Can you fall like this?"
Mu Qiulan lowered her head and said nothing.
"Why are you injured again?" Xiao Jingchen grabbed her arm, pulled off a piece of cloth from his body and bandaged it for her. His expression was focused and his movements were gentle, making Mu Qiulan feel a little embarrassed.
She actually wanted to say that she had a handkerchief with her and there was really no need to tear up her clothes to bandage it.
"Miss Mu, are you okay?" Rong Li, who was struggling to climb down on the vines of the blood leaf fern, called this way.
Mu Qiulan: "It's okay, Mr. Rong, don't worry."
Xiao Jingchen shouted to him: "What do you want? Come up!"
"Okay, okay, then I won't come down." Rong Li hung on the mountainside holding on to the vines, "But you two should hurry up, I...I can't go up!"
Mu Qiulan laughed out loud, "Your Majesty, you should hurry up and save Mr. Rong!"
A smile appeared on Xiao Jingchen's lips: "Let him hang there."
When he lowered his head, he caught a glimpse of a cave from the corner of his eye.
"What is that?"
He walked forward and pushed aside the blood-leaf fern outside, only to see the Nanyi Kingdom totem and several Nanyi characters carved at the entrance of the cave.
Could this be the entrance to Nanyi Kingdom?
Mu Qiulan walked over, looked at it and said, "Where does this lead to?"
“Just go in and take a look and you’ll find out!”
When the two of them were about to go in, Rong Li shouted: "Why are you two still there? Come and save me! Ah~"
He rolled down the mountain, then quickly climbed up, straightened his clothes, stroked the fallen hair on his head, and walked over as if nothing had happened: "What are you looking at?"
Mu Qiulan said: "Mr. Rong, there is a hole here."
"Oh~" Rong Li hurriedly walked over and saw a faint light coming from the cave. It must be a lighting torch or lamp. Since there is lighting in the cave, it means that there are often people passing through.
"This must be the entrance to Nanyi Kingdom!" Rong Li sighed: "It turns out that Nanyi's old nest is in this deep mountain! If the army goes south, I'm afraid they will never find it in this life."
He returned to being serious and said to Xiao Jingchen: "Your Highness, now that we have found the entrance, we will attack Nanyi when Pang Ao and Han Wei arrive."
Xiao Jingchen thought for a moment and then said: "This cave is small and can only accommodate two or three people. It cannot accommodate a large army marching at the same time. If Nanyi ambush at the entrance of the cave, we will be like turtles in a urn."
Rong Li: "I think there must be another entrance."
Xiao Jingchen nodded: "Look around!"
The three of them split up and soon discovered that there was more than one cave entrance. There were dozens of similar caves in the entire valley, hidden among the blood-leaf ferns.
"I didn't expect that the secret of the red mist in the foggy mountains would be here." Rong Li said, "No wonder Nanyi Country is so hard to find."
Mu Qiulan suddenly interrupted: "Did the people from the Yueqi Camp also find the entrance to the cave and are now in the Nanyi Kingdom?"
Xiao Jingchen was dissatisfied. This woman followed him just because of the boy named Zhuang.
"I don't know!" he said angrily.
Seeing this, Rong Li hurriedly said: "It's very possible. We didn't see any corpses along the way. I think they have already arrived in Nanyi territory."
Mu Qiulan said excitedly: "Then let's hurry up..."
When she looked up and saw Xiao Jingchen's cold eyes, she swallowed back the next words.
Rong Li said: "It's getting late today. Your Highness should discuss with several generals before attacking Nanyi tomorrow."
"Well..." Xiao Jingchen said, "Go back first!"
…
Zhuang Wan was restless that day, wondering if Yan Cheng had gone back to bring in reinforcements.
"What are you looking at, girl?" Zhamu appeared quietly behind her, startling her.
She said calmly: "You are finally here. How about we talk about the previous prince's affairs again and you can think about it again?"
Zhamu said calmly: "I will find out about the prince's affairs! It's just that your brothers who have been with you through life and death will die tomorrow. It is a pity that more than a hundred lives have been lost."
Although she was panicking, Zhuang Wan still said stubbornly: "Date of death? I don't know whose death date is tomorrow? I advise you to find a way out quickly and be prepared to flee to the end of the world at any time!"
"Thanks for the reminder!" Zhamu looked at the darkening sky, "Then I'll wait and see."
After that, he left the bamboo building.
As the sky darkened, Zhuang Wan faintly heard the sound of swords scraping together, and sighed, how many people were ambushing around this house!
Why don't we just arrest Yan Cheng? Is it necessary to mobilize so many troops?
However, Zhamu and others waited until midnight, but still found no movement.
"General Zhamu, will the thief stop coming?"
"Impossible!" Zha Mu said firmly: "He will definitely come!"
Seeing that it was almost dawn, Zhuang Wan thought that Yan Cheng should have left. If he ran fast, the army should be able to invade Nanyi tomorrow. She yawned and wanted to take a good rest before waiting for the army to arrive tomorrow.
Come.
While she was drifting off to sleep, she suddenly heard a noise. She quickly got up and looked around, only to see that the streets were full of guards holding torches, hurriedly shouting in Nanyi dialect, which she couldn't understand.
Could it be that Yan Cheng is here?
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw these guards rushing towards the east of the city with their halberds in hand.
She remembered that Chen Wujin and others were taken to the east of the city.
Could it be that something happened over there?
