Ghost King's Peerless Poison Concubine

Chapter 201 Hemoptysis, Entering the Desolate Forest
The coachman didn't answer, but just hung the lantern in his hand under the hood of the carriage, stretched out his hands to Bai Zhenzhu, and when Bai Zhenzhu closed her eyes in shame, he hugged her horizontally, her delicate and soft body in his arms made the coachman's heart thump Boom.

Even if he knew that there were indeed people around them staring at them, he didn't want to bother at the moment. If the King and His Royal Highness want to pursue it, let them pursue it!

Under the mask, Baili Yunjiu raised the corners of his mouth and sneered, "Let's go."

Wild forest.

Because it is located in the southwest, the winter in the desolate forest is very wet and cold, and the cold wind blowing on the body is completely different from the dry and cold wind in the north. The cold wind here seems to have a sticky dampness. It can pierce into the bones, making the bones of the whole body painful.

The narrow old path in the forest is crooked and eerie. The moon that seldom shows its head is covered by the influx of black clouds, and suddenly only a vague dark halo emerges from behind the thick clouds. The cold wind blows The tall treetops scraped and swayed, making a burst of slow rustling sounds, like a desert-like sea of ​​trees moving overhead, setting off the quiet night that was almost dead, making people feel that there will be ghosts at any time Haunted in general.

Because few people dare to set foot on this land, the dead branches and rotting leaves accumulated over the years have been piled up thickly layer after layer. When they step on it, they make a creaking sound in the dead night, which is very exciting. Listening to the inexplicable heart, occasionally stepping on a dead branch that is extremely rotten, and half of the legs will fall into the thick pile of rotten leaves in a shocking way, and the snow water accumulated on the tree branch will occasionally fall and drip onto the back of the neck. It will be startling.

In the silent night, only the sound of the wind, the creaking of dead branches and rotting leaves, the snorting of horses, and a few torches flickering, made the forest even more terrifying.

The so-called protectors who followed Bai Liuli into this wild forest included 15 people, including Eunuch Cao. This group of people has surrounded Bai Liuli in a circle since entering the wild forest. , riding a tall horse to accompany her around, it is indeed as Eunuch Cao said, to protect her, but she knows very well that these people are probably not trying to protect her, but to make her never get out of this area. woods.

It seems to be protection, but it is actually putting an invisible shackle on her, so that she has nowhere to go before the big fish they want to catch appear. People, presumably, are not just the imperial guards that Eunuch Cao said, she is sure that they must be hidden people.

What she has to do now is to get rid of this group of people. Eunuch Cao has deep thoughts and is absolutely insidious. She doesn't know if he will suddenly plot against her behind his back. With this group of people by her side, the danger is far higher than her Alone.

This is the best time for her to get out, the timing is right, because with her skills in this life, she has no chance of getting out on the way from Tongcheng to the wild forest, and it's just right now that the forest is dark at night, and they must expect Until she dared to act alone in this dense forest.

What about the forest of death, she is not afraid of mountains of swords and seas of fire, let alone a dense forest?
Bai Liuli tightly grasped the rein and at the same time only grasped the mane on the horse's back. The firelight illuminated the timidity and fear in her eyes, and Eunuch Cao, who was walking beside her, looked at her slightly. With trembling hands, a sneer of contempt that was not easy to detect was raised at the corner of his mouth, and he raised his hand to make the surrounding people stop, "Stop."

It's just that Eunuch Cao didn't notice the silver needle that Bai Liuli had already held between his fingers when he sneered.

The people walking in front also stopped when they heard Eunuch Cao's voice, turned their horses' heads to face Eunuch Cao and waited for orders, and only listened to Eunuch Cao: "This forest is deep and deep, poisonous things are everywhere, there are fierce beasts haunting all the year round, and the road is dark. It’s hard to do, stop for now.”

"Yes, my lord." The guards responded in unison, their voices were not loud but orderly and powerful, and they could be seen as well-trained people. They all dismounted at the same time, and Eunuch Cao got off his horse and stood beside Bai Liuli. With a humble face, he said, "Patriarch Bai, it's dark and the road is difficult to travel. You should get off your horse and rest first, and the old slave will let them explore the road first."

I saw Bai Liuli gripping the mane on the horse's back even tighter, as if she was very afraid of the forest, she changed her usual high-spirited appearance, and asked Cao Gonggong tentatively: "Cao Gonggong , can you let your people go to explore the road first? I..."

Bai Liuli hesitated to speak, but saw her biting her lower lip lightly, with a look of embarrassment, the contempt in Eunuch Cao's eyes deepened, but he said respectfully and gently, "If Patriarch Bai doesn't want to dismount, then he won't." , the old slave is watching you, the old slave will tell them to explore the way."

Women, after all, are women, after all, are timid.

Bai Liuli didn't see the sinister sneer at the corner of Eunuch Cao's mouth when he turned around, nor did Eunuch Cao see the contempt of Bai Liuli on the horse behind him who was also sneering at him.

When Eunuch Cao walked towards the guard who was tying the reins to the tree, he heard a sharp neighing from behind him. When he turned around in surprise, he saw the horse under Bai Liuli bouncing high as if frightened. He raised his front hooves, almost erecting the entire body of the horse perpendicular to the ground, and then flew forward like an arrow, trampling on the dead branches all over the ground.

And Bai Liuli, who was so timid and scared to get off the horse's mane just now, was sitting firmly on the horse's back at this moment, and did not fall off the horse's back because the horse under her stood upright. Come on, she even looks as stable as Mount Tai, which is completely different from her at the previous moment.

Eunuch Cao screamed in his heart that something was wrong. When he wanted to stop the frightened horse, it was too late. He could only watch Bai Liuli drive the horse into the darkness and out of his sight. Liuli sneered triumphantly.

"Chase!" Eunuch Cao gritted his teeth looking at the direction where Bai Liuli disappeared, and the guard who had just tied the reins to the tree immediately untied the rope and chased in the direction where Bai Liuli disappeared.

The torches shook violently in the wind, and the cold wind whimpered in the ears, making the forest even more terrifying.

It is inconvenient for horses to gallop wildly in the dark, let alone frightened horses. Bai Liuli was able to escape the sight of Eunuch Cao's team while driving the horse. He stepped on the horse's back vigorously, climbed up the thick trunk of the big tree, and did not forget to add a silver needle to the horse's buttocks before kicking off the horse's back.

The moon, who had just shown a little bit of face, seemed to be helping Bai Liuli. When she jumped up the big tree, she was hidden behind layers of dark clouds for an instant. The sound had already come under the tree, Bai Liuli held his breath and looked at the people and horses galloping past under the tree, his eyes were cold.

In the light of the flickering torches, she didn't see Eunuch Cao's figure. She didn't guard against Eunuch Cao's tricks, Bai Liuli didn't rush to leave this towering tree that was still luxuriant in winter, but She sat on the branch of a tree for a long time, and this sitting lasted a whole night, because her body would not be able to hold on if she didn't close her eyes for a while, and because her current hearing and eyesight were far less sharp than those in her previous life at night, it was not suitable for her. Acting at night, if she acted, would only expose herself.
