Chapter 65

I didn't want to move my steps, but I was pulled to the reins by my subordinates: "no, leader, it's going to be night soon. In the dense forest, the miasma is attacking people at night. King Yu, they put here today. Even if they don't die tonight, they must have no combat power. Tomorrow morning, when the miasma is gone, it's not better for us to go in and catch turtles in a jar."

I thought it was the fat meat on my mouth. At this moment, I almost lost my sense of propriety when I fell short. At this moment, I heard from my subordinates: "well, it's as big as the secret order. See where the feather king can escape today and ask someone to surround here. I'll go in person and take Cheng Yuan's head early in the morning."

"Yes..." my subordinates quickly turned their horse's head and responded positively.

……

"Your Highness, your highness, the front is wrong. You see, there seems to be miasma in front." Shangguan Xiao staggered into the dense forest with Cheng Yuan. When he looked up at the dense forest in front of him, it seems that a faint miasma has been rising slowly, and his scalp suddenly exploded.

"Miasma?!" Cheng Yuan stretched out his hand to hold his chest, gasped, and was shocked.

"As like as two peas, you can remember that when the king left the Anzhou ferry, the princess was the one who introduced the forest to the lower class. The situation is just the same as today. Your majesty, you see, the rising blue and white smoke is this thing, which will make people tired."

"You can see clearly. Is it really miasma?" Cheng Yuan reluctantly pressed down his panic and tightened his fist.

"It's absolutely true. My subordinates will never read it wrong." Xiao Yan nodded.

There are barbarian tribes eyeing outside, and there is smoke blocking the way in the dense forest. Under such attack, am I Cheng Yuanzhen dying here today.

No, how can Cheng Yuan be willing to die so cowardly in the hands of those barbarians.

"No, although the smoke is severe, they must find a way out. He introduced you that day. The smoke was in the forest, but they left unharmed."

"Yes, your highness is right, but my subordinates think that they have premeditated, so they have taken the antidote before entering the forest, but now, we..." Shangguan Xiao is in a cold sweat behind his back, and he is even more depressed at this point.

"Even so, but later, because of a heavy rain, you were able to escape from death. It can be seen that there must be other ways." Cheng Yuan quickly sorted out the chaotic thoughts in his mind and looked for a way to save himself.

"Yes, indeed, but" Shangguan Xiao's words have raised his eyes to look at the sky. At the moment, the stars are shining all over the sky, and his heart is a deep despair. "There will be no rain in the sky today."

Cheng Yuan gritted his teeth, stood up, glanced at the attendants who had begun to walk unsteadily in front of him, threw his sleeves anxiously, and ordered Shangguan Xiao: "since it can't rain, go to find the water source, sprinkle the water on his face, cover his mouth and nose as much as possible, at least keep awake, and don't be poisoned by malaria."

"Come and search in the forest immediately. There is no trace of them outside. King Yu must still be in the forest." before Shangguan Xiao answered, he heard a confused sound of footsteps coming from outside the forest.

what?! Is God going to kill me? At this time, someone even ran into the forest to search. The attendants, who were already like frightened birds, were startled when they heard the speech. They all forced themselves to pull out their swords and prepare for the battle.

Looking at the servants who couldn't protect themselves at the moment, Cheng Yuan couldn't bear to close his eyes.

"You guys, if you have a chance, you'll escort your highness away." Xiao, the senior official, gave a brief command to the deputy general behind him. He had led a team of people and horses to run in the direction of footsteps.

"Here, I found it. Tell the princess immediately that his highness King Yu is here." Shangguan Xiao got up and saw the oncoming clouds without taking a few steps.

On his face, he was stunned: "general Yun, why are you and why are you here?"

Seeing that Shangguan Xiao was like a frightened bird at the moment, he didn't trust himself. He quickly took his sword and said with an arch of his hand: walk quickly to Chengyuan: "Yunjing has seen his highness King Yu. Because his highness helped our princess a lot during the chaos in the cloud country, our princess came all night after learning the news of his Highness's encounter with the barbarian tribe. Fortunately, his highness is fine, and the princess should be at ease."

"Thank you for saving Princess Ding'an. Chengyuan is very grateful." Chengyuan reluctantly pressed down his heart and responded politely.

Before Yunjing could speak, he was intercepted by Shangguan Xiao. "We just got here, and you came here to save us. That's really a coincidence."

Before he finished, he felt dizzy and fell to the ground.

Seeing that he was poisoned by miasma, Yunjing hurriedly came forward, held him, took out a pill from his arms and quickly stuffed it into his mouth: "this is not a place to talk. Please follow me to leave here first."

"No, there are pursuers outside..."

"Don't worry, general. It's just a mob of speculators who have been solved by the princess." Yunjing ordered the accompanying soldiers to give the antidote and helped Cheng Yuan out.

……

Cheng Yuan didn't expect to survive this time. Yun Xueyao glanced at Cheng Yuan who was still in a coma and frowned slightly.

"Yunjing, you can see that he is still poisoned. Now, he can hold on." Yun Xueyao glanced at the Cloud View nearby to feel his pulse and said.

Cloud brocade took back a hand on Cheng Yuan's wrist, thought about it, and then said, "the poison of smoke in King Yu's place is not deep, but his body is too bad, and it seems that there are others..." at this point, the cloud view was a little dull, and then said, "it's a long journey again, and his body is already very weak. I'm afraid he'll have to rest for a few days to continue on his way."

Hearing this, Yun Xueyao breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had picked up a life, but seeing half of the words that cloud view had just swallowed, he was still uneasy: "you just said, what's on him?"

"Oh, princess, King Yu is weak and seems to have other signs of poisoning, but it may also be residual poison, and his subordinates are not very sure." the cloud view looked at Cheng Yuan sleeping and said.

"Residual poison?! you mean, he was poisoned." Yun Xueyao was surprised.

The other party nodded: "this poisoning should take a long time, but if you want to find out what the poison is, I'm afraid it will take some time."

"Hey, the feather king is so skinny. This time, since he cares about his life!" Yun Xueyao took a sip of hot tea and shook her head.

The cloud is also sighing: "Your Highness is at ease, your subordinates will be fine, your royal highness will be fine. It's only a matter of concern that the people from the barbarian tribes have learned that they are going to take the feather King's head. It's because they want to go to the king's side to appreciate it... This time we saved the king of feather."

"Aren't these people from the barbarian tribe? How can they get the reward from the king of Xiang? What does that mean?"

Yun Xueyao was confused at first.

"These barbarian tribes are so well-informed this time and know the whereabouts of King Yu like the back of their hands. If we hadn't happened to meet him this time, I'm afraid the head of King Yu has really fallen into the hands of these people today. Doesn't the princess feel strange." Yunjing raised his eyes and looked at the master in front of him.

"So you mean, the news of these people was passed on to them by the king of Xiang, who used them to intercept the king of Yu. Moreover, the king of Xiang had expected that the king of Yu would come here, so he would send someone to intercept the king of Yu all the way." Yun Xueyao took a breath when she heard the speech. She really thought the king of Xiang too simple before.

"It's been years since the two countries were sealed. When King Yu was in Anzhou last time, he killed the king of Xiang. It's not strange that the king of Xiang returned a tooth for a tooth today. It's also a reciprocity of courtesy." Yunjing saw the matter clearly.

"I'll find some herbs now. Your highness will wake up soon after taking them." he stood up and walked out.
