"What? I only watched it for such a short time? I think you are really desperate for your life. You are lucky this time. Otherwise, if you fell off the horse at such a speed just now, you would be disabled even if you didn't die. Why are you so...
...Alas!" Gu Hong didn't know how to describe Mo Jinran, and looked at her with waves of fear.
"Isn't it because of you? If you hadn't been flying with all your life, I wouldn't have taken this risk with you." At this moment, Mo Jinran's heart fell to the ground, and he couldn't help scolding Gu Hong. In fact, just now
I am also very afraid of the impulse.
"Okay, okay, this time it's my fault. You can't do this next time!" Gu Hong actually relented. Maybe, deep down in his heart, he was really afraid that something would happen to Mo Jinran!
"Okay, then you are not allowed to do this. I know you are angry and angry! You need a window to vent, but you cannot do such dangerous things. Even if you ride a horse well, this speed will still be dangerous. What if?
Sudden dizziness, leg cramps, or being hit on the head by an oncoming bird during horseback riding will all cause injuries. You also said that if you fall off the horse at that speed, you will be disabled even if you fall off it. Why don't you tell yourself these things?
"Mo Jinran also softened his tone.
Gu Hong almost laughed. How could what Mo Jinran said happen? She still had leg cramps? She was hit by a flying bird? Her imagination is really rich. Besides, even if a bird really hit her head, it wouldn't be possible.
It's not like he was knocked off the horse. He really wanted to pry open Mo Jinran's little head to see what was inside. Because Mo Jinran made such a fuss, a lot of the previous depressed mood dissipated. "Okay,
Let’s go back! We’ve gone so far, and it will be dark soon.”
"Okay! But... you won't go crazy again, will you?" Mo Jinran was still a little worried.
"No, but I will never give up so easily. I will definitely avenge the people and officials of Sa'an City!" Gu Hong's expression has never been more serious. He seems to be swearing, for the sake of those people who died tragically.
and the city lord, these are the subjects of his Canfeng Dynasty, and others will not allow others to trample on their lives at will.
Mo Jinran nodded. She could understand Gu Hong's mood. She admired such Gu Hong. It was really a blessing for the people of a country to have such a good prince.
After the two agreed, they got on their horses. The two horses ran side by side leisurely, and Mo Jinran also looked at the surrounding scenery. In fact, there is nothing interesting here, just endless desolation, cold weather, and withered yellow everywhere.
There are so many weeds and not even a single tree in sight. No wonder there is such a huge sandstorm in the city.
As he walked, he saw a tree stump not far ahead, as well as a few cut down but very thin trees. Mo Jinran quickly called Gu Hong: "Ninth Prince, what do you think that is?"
Gu Hong looked in the direction of Mo Jinran's finger, quickly turned the horse's head, walked over, jumped off the horse and looked carefully. "This... Look at the growth rings of this tree, it should be sent by the ancestors.
Who is so bold about planting a protective forest? Who dares to cut down this protective forest?"
The protective forest planted by the ancestors was to make the environment of Sa'an City better, so it should not be done by the people of Sa'an City, and no one would be so bold as to cut down this forest. Looking at this forest is tantamount to disobeying the ancestors
, this crime is enough to punish the nine tribes. It seems that this matter was premeditated.
The two of them checked the surrounding trees with heavy thoughts, and saw that they had been cut down for several months. However, the court did not receive a report, which made the matter even more complicated. So they rushed back and planned to clear up the tree.
Check this matter.
Back at the camp, the camp had been set up. The two of them had not eaten, so Xu Ting held a meeting with the generals of each camp. They told everyone what they knew, and everyone realized the seriousness of the problem.
.
"I believe that the protective forest was probably done by people from the Shichen Kingdom." Mou Eshuo, the general of the 3rd Battalion, speculated, and others also agreed.
"Indeed, the Chen Chen Kingdom is the most suspected now, and they are blatantly massacring the city and massacre, just to give us a show of strength, thinking that this way they can shock me, what a joke, huh!" Gu Hong said angrily.
"Hmph! These things that are inferior to pigs and dogs are so cruel. Sooner or later they will be punished." Wang Xi couldn't help but curse a few words.
"According to normal calculations, it will take at least three months from the Shichen Kingdom to send troops to the border. However, as soon as we arrived, they had already massacred the city, which means that before we received the news, the Shichen Kingdom had already sent troops to the border.
At the border, it was rumored that the golden pendant had just been stolen, and no other countries had received the news yet. Could it be...?" Gu Hong thought of a very serious question.
Mo Jinran raised his eyebrows and his heart skipped a beat, "Did a spy from the Chen Kingdom steal the legendary golden pendant?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone nodded in unison, "It seems that the Yanchen Kingdom is determined to make things difficult for the Canfeng Dynasty. But what is their purpose?" Mo Jinran couldn't figure this out.
"Isn't it just to unify the world? Everyone has heard that the king of the Shichen Kingdom is very ambitious and often invades other small border countries. In recent years, several tribes on the border have been annexed by them." Wang Xi curled his lips and said.
, satirizing Mo Jinran’s ignorance.
"But, to unify the world, don't you have to start with a small or weak country? As far as I know, our national strength is comparable to that of Chichen, and is even much more prosperous than them. How could they take such a risk to deal with us first?" Mo
Jin Ran stopped talking, everyone nodded in agreement, and even Wang Xi couldn't help but think deeply.
After a long while, Gu Hong said again: "It seems it's because of those words."
"Which sentence?" Everyone wanted to know.
"Years ago, when the golden pei was passed down by our ancestors, there was a rumor that if you get this golden pei, the whole country will be stable and prosperous! But there will also be disasters every hundred years. If you don't lose the golden pei, you can turn it into good luck.
, the country is peaceful and the people are safe. If the golden pendant is lost, the dynasty will change. In this way, it is the 300th thought now, and it is the third calamity..." Although Gu Hong knew that saying these words would affect the morale of the army, but now it is
He didn't want to hide the fact, so he had no choice but to tell it. He hoped that everyone could fight against the odds and no longer rely on the golden pendant, but on their own real strength to ensure peace and prosperity for the country and the people.
"Humph! What a nonsense. Just relying on a jade pendant lying there can make the country peaceful and the people safe?" Mo Jinran didn't believe it. She only knew that everything was achieved through hard work. If the people of the Canfeng Dynasty did everything every day,
If you don't do it and just kneel there to worship the Golden Pei, you won't have such a prosperous age.
