Chapter 8

The other party's suspicions spread out, and her eyebrows tightened more and more. The woman in the portrait rode a horse and whipped a whip. She was valiant and rustling. Shangguan Xiao searched quickly in his mind. He really hadn't seen it, but he had an unspeakable sense of deja vu: "Lord, this woman... Looks familiar. I just can't remember where I saw it?"

Cheng Yuan raised his eyes and looked at him. The corners of his mouth were slightly warped: "if you change your dress, how similar is it to the person you just said?"

A word woke up the dreamer. A flash of light flashed in Shangguan Xiao's mind: "it's her, Princess Ding'an?! it's her?"

Seeing his epiphany, Cheng Yuan nodded slightly: "calculated, the place where Princess Ding'an fell off the cliff that day is really not far from Anzhou City, and the weapons in her hand that day are also very consistent with the news we inquired about."

Shangguan Xiao Wenyan was even more upset. If she could see through her identity as soon as possible, the princess Ding'an would have fallen into her own hands. It would be much easier. Now the princess Ding'an has escaped from under her own eyes and is still with the enemy country: "Now, since she is with King Xiang, she must have gone to enfeoffment together. Your highness, if they join hands, the divine soldier map will surely fall into the hands of enfeoffment. What shall we do?"

"I've sent someone to spread the news to my father. Even if she came to enfeoffment, she didn't dare to take out the weapons easily for the safety of her mother country." Cheng Yuan disagreed.

"Well..." Shangguan Xiao nodded, "Your Highness means that we also go back to Chengzhou first and then make a long-term plan?"

"No." Cheng Yuan shook his head, "although Princess Ding'an may not dare to take out the weapons at present, the situation of sealing the country is complex. We'd better go to seal the state, or we can adapt to the situation."

On hearing that the master was going to risk sneaking into the enemy country, Shangguan Xiao was immediately surprised: "no, your Highness has a noble status. Now you go to the enemy country alone. If there is any mistake, your subordinates and others are really to blame."

"I've made up my mind. You don't have to say any more." Cheng Yuan gathered a smile on his face. "Immediately summon the nearest people and follow me to seal the country secretly."

"Yes..." seeing the master's cold face, Shangguan Xiao could only nod obediently.

……

On the official road, a team of fast horses galloped in the thin dawn.

"Your Highness, look, the front is the boundary of the state." Xie Yao, who walked in the front, saw the boundary monument on the stone and said excitedly.

Before we spoke, we saw a group of business travelers coming slowly in the morning on the hills not far away. These people were covered with light gauze and could not see their appearance clearly, but the head of the horse was pasted with a strange totem of black auspicious clouds on a white background.

Yunxueyao suddenly felt a burst of explosion pain in her mind and blurted out: "black cloud stack!"

As soon as he said this, Xie Yao's face changed. After taking a closer look at the totem on it, he also nodded: "yes, it's them. I'm afraid those who come are not good. Please protect your highness carefully."

The bodyguards slowly drew close. The other party seemed to see them and rode slowly.

"Are you on your way?" the leader casually took off the veil on his face. He turned out to be a handsome young man. He looked up and down at Feng Mo for a few eyes.

"That still need to ask?" Xie Yao vigilantly said.

The other party smiled: "although the sun is shining today, it's not a good day in my opinion."

Sure enough, the comer was not good. Xie Yao tightened the handle of the sword, and Yun Xueyao first said, "Oh, really, I didn't expect that the famous leader of heiyun stack still knows fortune telling?"

Seeing the other party's words to point out his identity, the other party smiled: "this childe has good eyesight. I'm the black cloud stack Maple!"

Maple? He's maple.

"I'm Xiayao Yunxue. I've heard a lot about wood collar." yunxueyao is also an archer.

Maple narrowed his eyes and glanced across Feng Mo's face: "this is the site of my black cloud stack. If you want to pass safely, you have to follow my rules."

"I don't know the leader's rule is..." Yun Xueyao gestured to him.

The other party reached out and pointed to Feng Mo with a bright smile: "leave him and others leave at any time. I will never stop the black cloud stack..."

"Don't think!" Xie Yao pulled out his long sword before his voice fell.

Yun Xueyao quickly stopped them: "they are numerous and powerful. General Xie, don't be impatient."

"Don't blame the wooden collar." Yun Xueyao turned her face and met Mufeng's eyes. "I'm not talented, but I also heard that the wooden collar has rarely sought life for money. I don't know whether it's the same this time."

The other party smiled and chanted: "you're right. I'm just a businessman today. Why worry about ten thousand liang of gold if your highness King Xiang is in the hands of my black cloud stack?"

Xie Yao on one side could hardly restrain himself, but Yun Xueyao nodded with a smile: "since the leader is a businessman today, how about we talk about a deal?"

"Oh?!"

"Now that the leader has known our Highness's identity, I have something to say. If the childe can keep our highness back safely this time, I promise that the leader will get not only 10000 liang of gold, but also at least the right of Royal purchase in the future."

Feng Mo's eyes behind him looked at Xiang Yun Xueyao's back, and the corners of his mouth tilted slightly.

"This business sounds good." for a long time, maple picked his eyebrows. "But I'm afraid it's not easy to do."

Seeing that the other party seemed moved, Yun Xueyao also breathed a sigh of relief: "Nowadays, wars are frequent and the people are difficult. There is nothing easy to do in business, such as the black cloud stack. Although it occupies this seal and has become the junction of the two countries for many years, its influence is not small. Unfortunately, the two countries are at war every year. The leader leads his brothers to survive in the cracks, even if it is difficult. In that case, why don't the leader take this opportunity to find a stable job? Maybe it is the best choice Policy. "

Mufeng turned over and dismounted, walked slowly to yunxueyao's eyes, smiled and said, "OK, we have accepted the deal at heiyun stack." then he turned his eyes to Fengmo and said, "it's really lucky to have such an attendant around your highness King Xiang."

"Everyone is on their way all night. Do you want to have a rest in the woods?" Yun Xueyao said with a sigh of relief.

"Wait a minute." Mufeng shook his head without waiting for others to speak.

"What's the matter?" Feng Mo was also stunned. "What's wrong with the wooden collar?"

"Your Highness." Maple Ningmei looked carefully at the grove in front of him, "although it's winter, the climate is not cold, and there are many birds sleeping in the forest. Now dozens of fast horses are running here, making such a loud noise, but why is the forest so quiet?"

As soon as the words came out, the people who had just relaxed their nerves immediately cheered up again.

"You're right." Feng Mo also agreed to nod, "but at present, this grove is our only way. If the killers in it want to get it, they can rush out even if we don't go in."

At present, there are tigers in front and hungry wolves behind. If we delay any longer, I'm afraid the Chengguo pursuers behind us should also arrive. At that time, under the attack of front and back, we will really die.

"Before your highness comes back, can there be a waiting guard? Where are they now?" wood Maple thought for a moment and said.

"We can't get here until dark at the earliest. We can't count on it at the moment." Feng Mo's face was dark.

When they heard the speech, their hearts sank again.

Deep in the dense forest over there, a large group of men in black are staring at this side, ready to go.

"General, there seems to be something wrong. Shall we do it?" for a long time, a man in black began to worry.

"There's no turning back when you open the bow. What's long winded." the other party scolded coldly.

"Yes." subordinates are submissive.

"Are all the brothers ready?" the leader asked sideways.

"Don't worry, general. Everything is ready already. But the subordinates seem very vigilant. If they don't come in, what should we do?"

"What should we do? They came all the way. We waited for work with ease. Today, we finally waited for the king of Xiang. There was no reason to let him retreat." the leader looked at Feng Mo's every move with venomous eyes and said ruthlessly, "let the brothers cheer up. Today, we took the head of the king of Xiang, and the LORD was rewarded..."

"Yes." my subordinates were so excited that before they could leave, they saw that the people in front of them had turned their horses one after another. It seemed that they were ready to leave here.

"General, no, they seem to be leaving."
