Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 800 Chu Ye
"What? You're leaving the cloud forest?"

It was a quiet night in Southern Chu, but uneasy voices came from the Qing'an courtyard of the National Teacher's Mansion.

In the east courtyard of Qing'an Academy, the main house where Ji Qingyuan lived was brightly lit.

There is a big map on the big table in the house, Zhao Guangji, Jiashu, Li Ji and others are standing beside the table.

Ji Qingyuan stared at the map on the table, looked up in disbelief at the girl standing on the other side of the table who had just been brought back by Li Ji and asked.

"Well," Ying Baoyue nodded, "You heard me right, I'm going to go to Soochow through the cloud forest."

He wished he had heard wrong.

"No..." Ji Qingyuan looked at the pile of maps on the table, "Do you know where the Cloud Forest is?"

"I know, I didn't want to live there either," Ying Baoyue nodded, "After all, it used to be mine..."

When she said this, her voice paused, and Ji Qingyuan stared blankly, knowing what she wanted to say.

After all, it was her former fiefdom.

It's even more...the place where she was picked up by his mother.

It can be said that that forest has a lot to do with this girl, but because of this, she shouldn't get close to it.

Because she is not what she used to be.And that forest hides too many secrets, which is too dangerous for practitioners below the heaven rank.

If Ying Baoyue had memories of the year before her death, Ji Qingyuan would barely believe her, but now that her memory of living in the cloud forest has been lost, Ji Qingyuan doubts whether this person knows the way out.

That's right, there is no road to the Cloud Forest, one of the three imperishable places in the Mountain Sea Continent.

The man looked down at the map on the table, and a large group of shadows could be seen at the junction of the three countries.

No directions, no notes, no place names.

This mass of shadows is the cloud forest.

This forest is like this on all maps, but in this shadow, no map records the way in and out.

There are many folk rumors that this is a forest that can't be walked out except for practitioners of the heavenly rank.

Under such circumstances, she still wanted to take the cloud forest and go to Soochow through it. Ji Qingyuan really didn't know what she was thinking.

"No way," Ying Baoyue spread his hands and glanced at Li Ji beside him, "there is only one way left."

There are clear ambushes on the other roads she investigates, but it's not that there are ambushes that cannot be walked.But these days, she is not only investigating the route but also the terrain. Those ambushes have already taken advantage of the terrain. If they are ambushed, they may suffer heavy casualties and cannot escape.

Under such circumstances, she originally wanted to go through the barrier alone, but was stopped by Li Ji every time.There was no way to explore, but at this moment Li Ji's words reminded her.

In fact, she should have thought of this place, Ying Baoyue stared at the shadow on the map.

When it comes to the junction of the former Qin, Nan, Chu, Dongwu and the Three Kingdoms, the most famous desperate situation is the forest.Soochow can be reached through this forest from the border of Southern Chu.

It was only when Li Ji mentioned it that she realized that she seemed to be subconsciously avoiding this place.

But why?

She doesn't seem to remember.

Ying Baoyue stared at the two seal characters "cloud and fog" written in the shadow on the map, but felt that her memory was also shrouded in clouds and fog.

Did something happen to her in this forest?

Just like its name, this forest is shrouded in clouds and mists all year round, leaving a mysterious impression on practitioners.

Staring at the shadows on the map, Ying Baoyue's hands under the sleeves were clenched inch by inch.

She has had close relationship with this forest twice in her life.One was the year she was born, and it was said that she was abandoned in this forest, and the other was the year before her death, and it was heard that she had lived in seclusion in that forest.

But it's a pity that she heard it both times, and she didn't remember anything.

Why would she subconsciously not want to go to this place?
But in any case, escaping doesn't solve anything.At this moment, taking the cloud forest is the one way she can avoid the pursuers now.

At this moment, Li Ji, who was standing beside Ying Baoyue, looked at the people in the room who were shocked by the girl's decision, and suddenly spoke.

"I have a map of the cloud forest."

Ji Qingyuan was taken aback when he heard the words, and Ji Jiashu on the side also raised his head to look at him.

Only Zhao Guang in the room was not surprised.

Li Ji stepped forward, picked up a pen from the front of the case, and started to write. From outside the shadow, he drew a simple route, then raised his head and looked at Ying Baoyue, "According to this route, Don't go astray, let alone look elsewhere, you can get out of the forest."

"Second brother, you..."

Seeing this scene, Zhao Guang opened his eyes wide.

Just because he knew that the cloud forest was a forbidden place for Li Ji, even though it was just a simple route, he did not expect Li Ji to be willing to share it with others.

Others were equally shocked.

"Mr. Zhaohua...are you familiar with the way into the cloud forest?" Ji Qingyuan looked at the route drawn by the man on the map, with a confused expression on his face, and asked tentatively, "Could it be that this is the way that Prince He came to Nanchu before? "

Ji Qingyuan's eyes darkened slightly.

When Li Ji wrote the pen just now, he didn't hesitate at all, it seemed that he had been familiar with this line for a long time.

It's just that if he remembers correctly, Li Ji broke through the heavenly stage not long ago, and only after arriving in Southern Chu.So before that, the cloud forest was equally dangerous to this person, why did this person seem to go there often?
"I knew it by chance." However, facing Ji Qingyuan's question, Li Ji just said lightly, "We didn't go this way when we came."

It's just because they came from Southern Chu from the former Qin Dynasty, not from Soochow as they thought.

Of course, he couldn't announce this to the public.

"By chance?" Ji Jiashu paused when he heard the words, and looked at Li Ji quietly, "Then is this route credible?"

There was a silence in the room, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little cold.

Zhao Guang stared wide-eyed, looking at the two men standing facing each other across a desk.

"Believe it or not," Li Ji said lightly.

"I don't mean anything else," Ji Jiashu shook his head, glanced at Ying Baoyue who was staring at the map on the case and pondering something, and took a deep breath, "It's just that Mr. Zhaohua is so familiar with the route to the cloud forest, can you share with me?" We go together?"

"That's right, second brother, you go with us!" Zhao Guang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at Li Ji expectantly.

"I..." Li Ji's eyes paused. He stared at the map on the case without looking at anyone around him. Then he said quietly, "I have no reason to leave Nanchu."

"Then it can't be used as escorting the king back!" Zhao Guang glanced at Ying Baoyue at the side, and said loudly.

"You have no shortage of guards now," Li Ji raised his head, looked at him and said indifferently.

"Thank you, Second Young Master Ji, for your invitation," Li Ji said, looking at Ji Jiashu, "But I still have things to do while staying in Southern Chu, so that's all I can do to help."

Ji Jiashu quietly looked at the man who brought the man back to draw the route, but stubbornly refused to look at the girl beside him, and suddenly understood Mo Hua's mood when he looked at him.

It's just that compared to him who didn't understand anything at the beginning, this man has too many secrets in his heart.

Perhaps, there are others hiding.

"Your Highness," Ji Jiashu looked at Ying Baoyue, "What are you going to do?"

Li Ji didn't want to see her for some reason after returning to Qing'an Yuan, but she didn't think he would lie to her.

The look in his eyes when he mentioned the cloud forest, for some reason, lingered in front of her eyes for a long time.

Ying Baoyue straightened up and looked at the last quarter moon outside the window.

Thinking of that forest, her eyes were a little dazed.

Will she... go back there again?

But the next moment, her expression became firm.

"I believe in this route."

"It's decided, let's go this way," the girl said with a smile, "Let's go tomorrow."
