Chapter 5 The Shengxi Clan
Chapter 5 The Shengxi Clan
When Cheng Xiuyuan came to the flower garden, he was no longer sure of Mo Yunxuan's position.
The flower branches of this flower garden are trimmed like a maze, which is as high as people, and it is very easy to get lost when entering it.Cheng Xiuyuan kept searching on tiptoe, but no matter how many turns he turned in the flower garden, he didn't see anyone.
"Could it be that I read it wrong?" Cheng Xiuyuan thought that he had indeed read the notes for so long, maybe he was really dazzled for a while.
But he wasn't sure if he was wrong, so he called Mo Yunxuan in a low voice.
Occasionally, there were a few insect calls from the flower garden, but there was no response from Mo Yunxuan.After wandering around in the flower garden for another half an hour, Cheng Xiuyuan yawned. He thought, maybe he was really wrong.And he had to get up early tomorrow, so he gave up the idea of continuing to search and went back.
Under the bright moonlight, the white flowers stretch their bodies shyly, exuding bursts of fragrance, accompanied by a few insects, quiet and elegant.
A figure came out from the corner, looking at the back of Cheng Xiuyuan leaving with deep eyes.
Mo Yunxuan felt that his depressed mood was relieved a lot at this time.
The next day, Cheng Xiuyuan yawned several times before entering Mo Yunxuan's room, and dared to go in after reorganizing his spirit.
Cheng Xiuyuan helped Mo Yunxuan put on his clothes carefully and gently, and lowered his head to help him fasten the buttons in an orderly manner. When he looked up, Mo Yunxuan saw the two big bags under his eyes.
"Did you not rest last night?" Mo Yunxuan's index finger lightly swept over Cheng Xiuyuan's eyes.
An itching sensation crawled from under Cheng Xiuyuan's eyes to the entire eye socket. He closed his eyes subconsciously. He was still arranging Mo Yunxuan's clothes with his hands. Finally, he couldn't help rubbing his eyes. Playful.
"No, I went to bed very early last night."
"Did you sleep early?" Mo Yunxuan's eyebrows jumped, with a sneer on his face, this kid, he was less and less blushing when he was lying.
The nervous Cheng Xiuyuan didn't notice the change in Mo Yunxuan's expression, and took the suit jacket from the maid.
"I don't want to wear this one today, so change it." Mo Yunxuan didn't even see it as the clothes in Xiu Yuan's hand.
"Yes, Your Highness." Cheng Xiuyuan went to the closet to re-select a black coat.
While eating breakfast, a servant hurried in and whispered something next to Mo Yunxuan, Cheng Xiuyuan clearly saw Mo Yunxuan's face change.
"Tell him to wait for me in the study."
"Yes!" The servant retreated.
At this time, Mo Yunxuan had already put down the spoon in his hand, and Cheng Xiuyuan had already seen that Mo Yunxuan had no appetite to continue eating, so he handed over the handkerchief.
Cheng Xiuyuan followed Mo Yunxuan to the study room. At this time, there was already a man in his 40s sitting inside.
He looked resolute, wearing a military uniform, and his face was covered with wind and frost. When he saw Mo Yunxuan coming in, he immediately stood up and saluted a standard military salute.
"Sit down." Mo Yunxuan waved his hand, sat down, and leaned back on the sofa, not angry but awe-inspiring.
"Your Highness, this subordinate has already found the traces of the Sheng Xi tribe!" The man was a little agitated, and subconsciously leaned forward while speaking.
Cheng Xiuyuan was very curious, what is the origin of the Shengxi tribe that this man said, and Mo Yunxuan could take it to heart.
"Li Jiang, you already said it on the phone last night," Mo Yunxuan rubbed the center of his eyebrows irritably, his eyes showed impatience, giving people a strong sense of oppression, "Tell me something I don't know yet .”
"Yes yes yes." Li Jiang's face flushed red, he quickly took out a piece of paper from his arms, and opened it in front of Mo Yunxuan, "This is the map to the Lost Path Forest, half a month ago Someone once saw members of the Shengxi clan there."
The moment Mo Yunxuan saw the map, the longing on his face startled Cheng Xiuyuan beside him.
"Okay, okay." Mo Yunxuan looked at the map and showed a sly smile, "You go back and prepare well, we are ready to go at any time."
"Yes, Your Highness!" Li Jiang replied and stepped back to prepare.
Cheng Xiuyuan looked at the map on the table and became even more puzzled. A red circle on it marked the final destination - the Lost Path Forest.
Mo Yunxuan closed his eyes and said to Cheng Xiuyuan: "Put the map away, maybe we have to go to the Lost Path Forest this afternoon. From the map, it's not too far from here."
Cheng Xiuyuan knew the importance of this map to Mo Yunxuan, so he didn't dare to use force when folding the map.
"Have you heard of the Shengxi people?" Mo Yunxuan asked suddenly.
Cheng Xiuyuan shook his head, not to mention that he hadn't heard of it since he came here, even the memory of this body didn't have anything about the Shengxi people.
"The people of the Shengxi tribe have great power, which allows me to completely control the imperial power. As long as I sign a contract with them, they must obey my orders." Mo Yunxuan said calmly, but Cheng Xiuyuan still heard his deliberately suppressed words excited.
"Master Pei's dinner after that week..." Cheng Xiuyuan asked tentatively.
Mo Yunxuan got up and walked towards the inner room. When he stood up, he gave Cheng Xiuyuan a cold look: "Do you think the people from the Shengxi clan are more important than Pei Shang's dinner party?"
Cheng Xiuyuan bowed his head respectfully: "Naturally, the people of the Shengxi tribe are important, and I will deliver the gift to Master Pei's house on time to apologize."
Mo Yunxuan waved his hand: "The things can be sent there first, but don't say we can't go there for the time being. If we can't make it back from the Lost Path Forest within a week, then send someone to Pei's house."
"Yes."
"However, I guess they won't be able to come back." Mo Yunxuan added suddenly.
In the afternoon, Li Jiang came to report that all the work was ready, and he could go to the Lost Path Forest immediately.
Before going out, Cheng Xiuyuan went back to his room and packed some necessary daily necessities.
The escort to the Lost Path Forest is composed of two hundred elite soldiers, all of whom are soldiers who have participated in five battles and survived successfully, with very good defense and attack power.
Cheng Xiuyuan looked at the tall horse in front of him, wanting to cry but no tears!If he had known earlier, he would have learned how to ride a horse in his spare time, and he wouldn't be in such an embarrassment now.
Mo Yunxuan saw Cheng Xiuyuan standing in front of the horse and didn't get up, so he drove the horse to him.
"Why don't you go up, the team is about to leave."
"Hmm... that..." Cheng Xiuyuan hesitated for a long time, "I don't know how to ride a horse..."
"Really? How did I remember that you used to be able to ride a horse!" Mo Yunxuan looked up and down Cheng Xiuyuan with probing eyes, and Cheng Xiuyuan felt like a needle prick.
"You ride a horse with others!" Mo Yunxuan was preoccupied with the matter of the Lost Path Forest, and didn't want to get entangled.
Cheng Xiuyuan immediately cast a grateful look at Mo Yunxuan: "Thank you, Your Highness!"
According to the route on the map, to reach the Misty Trail Forest, you have to go through two mountains and a canyon, and it will take a day and a night if you go fast.
The summer was hot, and Cheng Xiuyuan was about to suffer from heatstroke. When he looked over to Mo Yunxuan, he saw that his expression remained unchanged, and he was sitting on a shiny black horse with a dignified appearance.He always thought that most people in the royal family were extravagant and licentious, it seems that Mo Yunxuan is really not the master of leisure and pleasure!
There was no place to shelter from the sun along the way, and the whole team had been advancing at full speed, Cheng Xiuyuan, who was sitting behind the soldiers, was so hot that he kept wiping his sweat with his hands, and he was too embarrassed to cry out that he was hot and tired .
He didn't expect his first experience of riding a horse to be so bad.
Mo Yunxuan, who was always in front of the team, suddenly turned his head to look at Cheng Xiuyuan, his eyes were as quiet as the night, but Cheng Xiuyuan's face turned red all of a sudden, and he regretted that he couldn't ride a horse even more .
"When you go back, learn slowly!" Mo Yunxuan seemed to see through Cheng Xiuyuan, his sexy thin lips parted slightly.
Before Cheng Xiuyuan could speak, Mo Yunxuan raised his horsewhip to speed up.
In the middle of the night the next day, Cheng Xiuyuan and his party finally saw the Lost Path Forest.
The misty forest in the dark night is like a dormant beast, exuding a cold and merciless smell. The lingering thick clouds and mist linger in the lush forest, which puts a mysterious veil on the forest.
It was summer now, but the temperature dropped sharply here, and the clothes that were originally wet with sweat became extremely cold at this time, and it was so cold that it stuck to the body.
Cheng Xiuyuan looked around and found that the maze forest had a large area, and the left and right sides could not see the end. There were occasional small saplings in front of the forest, but most of them were weeds, as if all the nutrients in the field had been taken away. No support for the plants in the maze forest.He couldn't help shivering.
Mo Yunxuan observed this so-called "Forest of Lost Paths" with a serious expression, not daring to enter rashly for a while.
Li Jiang drove his horse to Mo Yunxuan's side.
"This labyrinth forest covers a very large area. If there is no map, it is easy to get lost in it."
"Where did the person who met the Sheng Xi clan see him in the Misty Path Forest?" Mo Yunxuan asked.
"Deep in the Lost Path Forest."
Mo Yunxuan got off his horse, and as soon as he stepped on the ground, his boots were stained with sticky wet soil. He raised his foot and looked: "The terrain here is low, surrounded by high mountains, and the air is cool and humid. scattered."
Cheng Xiuyuan also got off his horse and took out a cloak from the baggage that accompanied him, and sent it to Mo Yunxuan.
"Your Highness, be careful of the cold." He gently put the cloak on Mo Yunxuan's shoulders, then wrapped it around in front of him, and carefully tied the belt for him.
Mo Yunxuan lowered his head and saw Cheng Xiuyuan's trembling eyelashes and his straight nose.In fact, as soon as he approached the Lost Path Forest, he felt that the temperature was really low, which made people feel a little cold, even outside, not to mention the temperature inside the forest.
Cheng Xiuyuan was so careful that he was prepared to put on the cloak, which made him feel that this man was really caring, and he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
