Before the person could finish, his head tilted and his arm fell.
The minister hurriedly called the accompanying medical officer over.
The medical officer carefully checked the guard’s body and shook his head. “He stopped breathing. He was frightened to death.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the soldiers at the scene could not help but shudder.
Injury, poisoning, death from exhaustion… None of them were as terrifying as this death.
Scared to death. What did he see in the forest?
The assistant waved his fan and sighed. “We waited for a day and night. It wasn’t easy for someone to come out alive, but he was actually frightened to death…
Xiao Zhonghua did not say anything. It seemed that Division Leader Chen of the White Lotus Society was not lying to them. No one could enter the peach forest. If they did, no one would survive.
The minister suddenly remembered this person’s words before he died and his heart skipped a beat. “Did he say that Young Master Su was inside just now?
Wouldn’t Young Master Su be in danger?”
Everyone guessed which Young Master Su it was, but Xiao Zhonghua and Jing Yi knew that it must be Su Mo.
Jing Yi turned around and was about to enter the peach forest when Xiao
Zhonghua grabbed him.
Xiao Zhonghua said sternly, “You’re not allowed to enter!”
Jing Yi said calmly, “Cousin, if even I don’t go in, no one can.”
Among everyone present, Jing Yi’s attainment of martial arts was the highest.
Xiao Zhonghua said, “But I don’t want you to take risks because of this.”
Jing Yi said, “Cousin, this is your…’
Xiao Zhonghua interrupted him. “I have countless ways to fight for that position! There’s no need to sacrifice my brother!”
To Xiao Zhonghua, his cousin, Jing Yi, had surpassed those treacherous brothers in the palace.
Jing Yi paused. “Cousin, I have to go in.”
Xiao Zhonghua said seriously, “Do you want to bring Su MO out? Do you think Su MO’s martial arts are as simple as they seem? If the person in the peach forest is really Su MO, then the mysterious expert who killed those White Lotus Society Shadow Guards should be Su Mo. If he can’t come out, do you think you can?”
This was definitely not Xiao Zhonghua underestimating Jing Yi. He was telling the truth, hoping to dispel Jing Yi’s thoughts.
Unfortunately, Jing Yi had never been a cowardly person. He had the high spirits of and the vigor of a young man.
“It’s for her, isn’t it?” Xiao Zhonghua asked.
Jing Yi said, “It’s for her and for Cousin. I’ve made up my mind. Cousin can’t stop me.”
Jing Yi was obedient most of the time, but once he was stubborn, even eight horses could not pull him back. On this point, he was really a little like Wei Ting.
Xiao Zhonghua said helplessly, “Alright, I won’t stop you, but at least let me ask Father first. ”
“Six hours,” Jing Yi said. “I’ll go in.”
Every moment Su MO stayed in the peach forest was more dangerous. He did not want to delay for too long.
Xiao Zhonghua returned to the palace as quickly as possible.
He caused a huge commotion, and even the Eldest and Second Prince rushed to the Imperial Study to ask if something big had happened in the capital.
Emperor Jing Xuan put down the half-read memorial in his hand and asked in a low voice, “Tell me, what is it?”
“I discovered traces of the White Lotus Society’s Sect Master. He might be hiding in a peach forest outside the southern city gate. However, that peach forest is very dangerous. I specially came to ask Father, hoping to borrow a few experts from the imperial family to enter the forest with Jing Yi to search for the whereabouts of the White Lotus Society’s Sect Master.”
He only said that it was dangerous. He did not say that no one who entered would survive.
Xiao Duye instantly had thoughts. He had suffered repeated setbacks recently and was about to lose favor with his father. He desperately needed a chance to make a contribution.
He cupped his hands and said, “Father, since Third Brother is afraid, why don’t you let me go! I will definitely take back the head of the White Lotus Societys Sect Master for Father!”
Heh, no one in the capital had seen the legendary Sect Master. Wouldn’t he be successful if he found a fake head and got a few White Lotus Society disciples to cooperate and recognize it?
Xiao Zhonghua continued, “It seems that Guo Huan also escaped into the forest. Guo Huan’s injuries are serious. I think he’s doomed inside.”
Xiao Shunyang secretly pinched his fingers and said seriously, “Father, I’m willing to go with Elder Brother!”
Xiao Duye’s expression darkened.
Why was Second Brother so insensible?
Did he have to snatch the opportunity to make a contribution from him?
Emperor Jing Xuan looked at Xiao Zhonghua. “Third Brother, what do you think?”
Xiao Zhonghua said respectfully, “I’ll listen to Father’s arrangements.”
Emperor Jing Xuan said unhurriedly, “Eldest, Second Brother, the two of you go. Third Brother will receive you outside the forest at any time.”
The three of them bowed and said, “I obey!”
Emperor Jing Xuan sent 20 experts to follow Xiao Duye and Xiao Shunyang in two teams.
Qin Yanran asked Xiao Duye to bring Xu Qing along.
Jing Yi brought Bai Ze, Wu Mu, and Qing Xuan, leaving Hong Luan outside the peach forest to protect Xiao Zhonghua.
It was a little windy tonight. The minister of the Dali Temple got someone to set up a tent.
Xiao Zhonghua stood in front of the tent.
Changping brought a cloak over and was about to put it on Xiao Zhonghua. Xiao Zhonghua waved his hand. “No need. I’m not cold.”
Changping looked around and whispered, “His Majesty is really biased. As soon as there’s a chance to make a contribution, he gave it to His First and Second Highness. You were the one who discovered the peach forest… However… is there really any danger in this peach forest?”
“Yes,” Xiao Zhonghua said.
Changping was stunned. “Then Your Highness is still…”
“I said that it’s very dangerous. It was my two brothers who insisted on going. It was also my good father who wanted to send his two sons in. If there’s really danger, they will bear the danger with Jing Yi and Su Mo. If there is no danger.
Su MO is their greatest danger.”
Xiao Duye had attacked Su Cheng before, so Su MO would not let him off.
If Xiao Shunyang wanted to save Guo Huan, Su MO would not let him off.
At the Imperial Astronomy Society, Wei Ting had just returned from the Wei family and heard the news of the peach forest on the way. He was also prepared to go to the peach forest to look for Su Mo.
“Don’t go.” Wei Liulang called out to him in a hoarse voice.
As Wei Ting sorted out his equipment, he asked with a faint smile, “In what capacity are you asking me not to go? A stranger, or my sixth brother? If it’s the former, sorry, I’ve always been disobedient. If it’s the latter, I’ll consider it.” Wei Liulang’s face was ruined. Otherwise, he would definitely twitch.
Wei Little Seven was too shameless. Wei Liulang said, “There’s danger in the forest.”
“What danger?” Wei Ting asked.
Wei Liulang said, “Swamp, miasma, poisonous insects, Corpse Dissolving Water, and… monsters.”
The first three dangers were quite common. He had never seen the Corpse Dissolving Water before. What was the last one? Wei Ting looked at Wei Liulang strangely. “You’ve been in?”
Wei Liulang nodded. “Yes, I almost died inside.”
What he didn’t say was that he had only walked around the periphery and didn’t go deep at all. He almost died.
“If you go, I’ll… ignore you,” Wei Liulang threatened.
Wei Ting chuckled. “Alright, I won’t go.”
Wei Liulang was relieved.
He went to cover the sleeping little fellow on the bed.
When he turned around, Wei Ting slipped away! Wei Liulang gritted his teeth.. “Wei, Little, Seven!”
