Chapter 27 Reentry into the Maze
"Your duty is where I am and where are you. Why didn't I know that you still have so many things to do? Even I, the prince, don't have as many things to do as you do." Mo Yunxuan looked like he wanted to eat people. Approaching Cheng Xiuyuan, a gust of cold air hit the latter, making Cheng Xiuyuan shiver involuntarily.
"Your Highness...I..." Cheng Xiuyuan wanted to cry, but all his psychological defenses were vulnerable in front of Mo Yunxuan.
"Then are you going?" Mo Yunxuan's tone softened, and he evoked a charming smile, but there was a coldness in his eyes.
"Go." Cheng Xiuyuan nodded, "I will go wherever Your Highness goes."
Mo Yunxuan's smile narrowed, he turned to look at the giant net cage shining with cold light, and his face sank.
"This time, I don't believe that the members of the Shengxi tribe will not be caught."
Coming out of the armory, Cheng Xiuyuan couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, when do you plan to go to the Lost Path Forest?"
Mo Yunxuan's footsteps faltered: "Tomorrow."
What!tomorrow!Do you want to rush like this? Cheng Xiuyuan complained in his heart. He had only stayed in the palace for a few days, and he was going to the Lost Path Forest again. Moreover, he was extremely uneasy when he went to the Lost Path Forest this time. There is always a sense of foreboding that his identity will be revealed.
In the early morning of the next day, Mo Yunxuan took his guards to the Lost Path Forest.
After running around before, Cheng Xiuyuan was used to the bumps on the horse.
But just outside the Lost Path Forest, they met Pei Shang and Ji Houchen.
"Your Highness, what a coincidence!" Ji Houchen greeted Mo Yunxuan and his group who were walking towards them, "I thought that meeting Marshal Pei was already lucky enough, but I didn't expect you to come too."
Mo Yunxuan tightly held the rein in his hand, he was not surprised to see them here.
"It seems that everyone is ready to come here immediately."
"Your Highness, what did you bring this time?" Ji Houchen saw the big net cage in the middle of the guards at a glance, and cried out in his heart, guessing that it must be related to the Sheng Xi tribe, "That net cage Is it used to arrest the Shengxi people? It took so much effort to bring them here from the palace, wouldn’t it be safer to bring more weapons?”
He also wanted to extract the function of this net cage from Mo Yunxuan's mouth, but he also knew in his heart that this was impossible.
Mo Yunxuan said coldly: "That's not going to bother Ji Ji."
Pei Shang looked at the net cage and didn't ask any further questions. He looked into the Lost Path Forest again: "This time, we'll see who can find the Shengxi people first."
"I'm also very curious!" As soon as Mo Yunxuan's words fell, he raised his whip and rode his horse into the Lost Path Forest, followed by the guards behind him.
Cheng Xiuyuan, who rode the same horse with the soldiers, could see from Mo Yunxuan's actions that he wanted to act alone this time, and he did not want to go with Pei Shang and Ji Houchen again.However, it is estimated that Pei Shang and Ji Houchen don't want to go together this time either.
With the previous experience, it was much smoother to enter the Lost Path Forest this time. They came directly to the passage where Pei Shang's men cut dead branches last time. In just a few days, some new plants grew here. , but does not affect the forward movement.
Mo Yunxuan and his party got off their horses and walked forward.
"Your Highness, why didn't General Li come with you this time?" Cheng Xiuyuan was a little curious, his hands were still helping Mo Yunxuan to block the branches in midair like last time.
"He has other things to do."
In fact, Cheng Xiuyuan has always wanted to say "I'm sorry" to Li Jiang for what happened last time, but either he forgot or he has no chance, and he doesn't know if he will be able to meet him again later.
"Your Highness, the cage is too big to pass through the passage!" A soldier stepped forward to report.
"Then widen the passage." Mo Yunxuan's face was a little gloomy, and he had to ask him about such a simple matter.
"Your Highness, let's go there first and wait outside in the open space." Cheng Xiuyuan continued to lead the way for Mo Yunxuan.
In the end, it took an extra half an hour to finally transport the cage from the passage.
Cheng Xiuyuan was afraid that he would reveal his true form in front of the net cage, so he didn't dare to get close. Fortunately, this move was not so obvious, so Mo Yunxuan didn't notice it.
"Your Highness, where are we going to place this cage?" Cheng Xiuyuan had to ask clearly for his own benefit.
"Let's go deep into the forest first!" Mo Yunxuan didn't say much.
So, the team began to walk deep into the labyrinth.
This time, instead of taking the same route as last time, they changed their path.In fact, for Cheng Xiuyuan, it doesn't matter where he goes, because he is the only member of the Shengxi tribe in this forest, and what he must be wary of is not Mo Yunxuan and the others, but the cage that will make him show his original shape.
When it was almost night, Mo Yunxuan and his party walked to the edge of a small stream.
The terrain here is flat and the water source is abundant, so he ordered to set up camp here, found a hidden place by the stream and put the net cage there, and put some branches and vines around the net cage. As a camouflage cover, on the other hand, the naked eye can see where the net cage is hidden, and the whole team set up tents in a place 300 meters away from the net cage where the trees are dense, in order to observe the situation around the net cage at all times , Arrange soldiers to take turns to monitor in the hidden place.
Standing in front of the tent, Mo Yunxuan kept frowning in deep thought.
A soldier came to report that everything had been arranged, and only waited for the Sheng Xi tribe to appear.
"Send someone to monitor Pei Shang and Ji Houchen's every move from a distance, don't let them approach here."
"Yes, Your Highness!" The soldier immediately went down to make arrangements after receiving the order.
At this time, Cheng Xiuyuan, who was ready for dinner, came over to remind Mo Yunxuan to eat.
"Your Highness, it's already past seven o'clock, and dinner is ready." Cheng Xiuyuan finally remembered to bring a watch when he came to the Mijing Forest this time. He didn't bring a watch last time, and he always reminded Mo Yunxuan when he asked the time I was afraid, for fear that if he was unhappy, he would give me a cold stare.
Mo Yunxuan was really hungry after running around all the way, so he followed Cheng Xiuyuan back to the tent to eat.
Because in the wild, the food is relatively simple, but Mo Yunxuan finished the food in just a few mouthfuls.
Surprised by Mo Yunxuan's fighting power, Cheng Xiuyuan couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, do you want to eat more?"
"No need." Mo Yunxuan stood up, all he was thinking about was the people of the Shengxi tribe, and he stepped out of the tent after speaking.
Cheng Xiuyuan thought that Mo Yunxuan hadn't made up the bedding for sleeping at night, so he didn't follow him out, and began to make his bed carefully.
Cheng Xiuyuan knew that although Mo Yunxuan was an expensive prince, he could endure hardships, suffer from hunger, and suffer from the cold. The only thing was that the place where he slept must be neat and tidy. For this reason, Cheng Xiuyuan brought extra A quilt cover.
As soon as the bedding was finished, a soldier came in and told him that Mo Yunxuan was looking for him. He didn't dare to neglect, and hurried out with the soldier.
"Your Highness, what can you do?"
Mo Yunxuan stood by the stream, with a tall figure, and his delicate face was reflected in the stream under the light.
His face was very calm, and his tone was calm: "I suddenly remembered a spectacle I encountered in the Lost Path Forest last time."
"What spectacle?" Cheng Xiuyuan couldn't remember for a moment.
Mo Yunxuan turned around: "It's the forest that radiates blue light."
forest!Cheng Xiuyuan immediately remembered.
"Before it passed, I clearly saw the blue light, but as soon as I got close, there was nothing." Mo Yunxuan's eyes were far away, and he drifted through the overlapping forests to an invisible place.
Cheng Xiuyuan didn't speak, he knew that Mo Yunxuan must not have finished speaking.
"Tell me, is it our collective delusion, or does that thing really exist and just disappear temporarily?" Mo Yunxuan had already combined this matter with the Shengxi tribe in his heart.
Although Cheng Xiuyuan knew the truth, he didn't dare to lie, he just said: "My Highness and I have seen and heard the same thing, the flash of blue light may be just an illusion."
Now that he thinks about it, it should be just a means for the tree god to attract him.
"Illusions?" Mo Yunxuan sneered, "Then do you think it's the work of the Sheng Xi people?"
How could this have something to do with the Sheng Xi people again?Cheng Xiuyuan admired Mo Yunxuan's IQ more and more, and even he almost forgot about the blue light, but Mo Yunxuan always remembered it, and even accurately connected it with the Shengxi tribe.
He calmly told Mo Yunxuan: "Is your Highness thinking too much? Just like there are auroras in the polar regions, it may not be surprising that there are blue lights in this forest, and it may not necessarily be related to the Shengxi people."
He just wanted to confuse the public and make Mo Yunxuan confused.
"Then you mean that it does exist." Mo Yunxuan's mind is much clearer than that of Cheng Xiuyuan.
"Ah?" Cheng Xiuyuan was drawn in again, "I mean, it existed, but it disappeared when we passed by."
Mo Yunxuan saw the flash of panic in Cheng Xiuyuan's eyes, and thought that he was asking him questions one after another: "That big tree is so huge, it is estimated that it is also a spiritual thing, as you said, blue light Blink is just a natural spectacle."
Under the giant tree back then, they really didn't gain anything. Maybe he really thought too much about these conjectures.
"Your Highness said so." Cheng Xiuyuan bowed his head respectfully.
"Let's go, take a look at the net cage." Mo Yunxuan regained his iceberg face.
Net cage!Cheng Xiuyuan didn't want to go there even if he was killed, so he said calmly: "Your Highness, I haven't packed the things in your tent, so I won't go with you."
Maybe Cheng Xiuyuan's disguise was too good, Mo Yunxuan didn't say much, just passed by himself with the soldiers.
Seeing that Mo Yunxuan was gone, Cheng Xiuyuan heaved a sigh of relief. He only hoped that his actions would not make Mo Yunxuan suspicious, because after the net cage was placed, he would automatically disappear, even if he knew where the net cage was in general , and dare not act rashly.
After returning to the tent, Cheng Xiuyuan suddenly saw the cloak hanging on the hanger, and thought, Mo Yunxuan must have taken it off when he was eating just now, why didn't he see it when he went out just now!
Cheng Xiuyuan blamed himself, picked up the cloak and went out of the tent again.
