Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 344 The road ahead is bleak

At this time, the Cang Gui above his head began to roar again, as if to avenge the arrow just now, and rushed towards Long Mohan at an even more terrifying speed. The speed was so fast that Long Mohan had no time to draw his bow. Seeing that the Cang Gui's sharp claws were about to fall on Long Mohan's head, Ji Anni bravely rushed forward and shouted loudly: "No! Don't hurt him!"

This person is the emperor. If the emperor is scratched by Yun Zhen’s Shikigami, will Yun Zhen be implicated?

Under Ji Annie's obstruction, Cang Gui retracted his attack and stopped only half an inch away from Long Mohan's eyebrows.

Long Mohan was so frightened that he bit his lips tightly and couldn't utter a word.

The Canggui flapped its wings and landed on Ji Anni's shoulder. Seeing this scene, even if Long Mohan was a fool, he knew that this eagle was a friend of Ji Anni, not an enemy.

"What's going on? Do you know this eagle?" When Long Mohan asked the question, he subconsciously pointed his bow and arrow at the Cang Gui on Ji Anni's shoulder.

The Cang Gui screamed in anger, as if to intimidate Long Mohan, telling him not to point his arrow at it so rudely. After Long Mohan saw that Cang Gui was unhappy, in order not to anger the irritable eagle, he had no choice but to lower the hand holding the weapon.

Ji Annie gently flapped Cang Gui's wings, as if trying to calm him down with this action.

"Your Majesty, don't be afraid. This is Yun Zhen's Shikigami. Yun Zhen sent it to help us. It won't hurt anyone."

Although Ji Anni was not sure whether Cang Gui would hurt anyone, facing Long Mohan who was very hostile to Cang Gui, she could only use these white lies to disarm him. In fact, Ji Anni, like Long Mohan, also thought that Cang Gui was very fierce. When Cang Gui swooped down from mid-air just now, she was so scared that she held her head and screamed, forgetting that the other party was an assistant sent by Yun Zhen to help.

"The national master's shikigami?" Long Mohan narrowed his eyes and looked at Cang Gui again. He found that it had sharp eyes and was very understanding. It was indeed not comparable to an ordinary eagle.

"By the way, Your Majesty, you haven't told me why you are here?" After Ji Anni revealed her true identity to Long Mohan, she no longer called herself "Zhao Ji" or "Your Majesty".

Long Mohan seemed to be still unaccustomed to the change of "Zhao Ji". He frowned slightly and whispered, "When I woke up, I found myself lying in a wooden house. There happened to be a bow and arrow placed by the wall, so I grabbed it and went out to look for people. I had just walked a few steps when I heard your voice. I hurried over and saw that the eagle wanted to attack you, so I helped. I didn't expect it to be the national teacher's shikigami."

The cabin that Lai De found was a temporary resting place for hunters. The bow and arrows beside the cabin wall were probably left there by hunters before. Although the bow and arrows were worn out, they were still usable. Just now, Cang Gui was hit by an arrow, leaving a big hole on his wing. No wonder Cang Gui was so angry and wanted to peck Long Mohan's head. If Ji Anni hadn't stopped him in time, Long Mohan would have had several big red flowers on his forehead.

"I just heard you talking to yourself in the woods. Who are you talking to?" Long Mohan was very wary of Ji Anni and still suspected that the other party was a monster that occupied Zhao Ji's body.

Ji Anni pulled the small stone hanging around her neck out of her clothes, held it in front of Long Mohan, and patiently explained to him, "I wasn't talking to myself just now, but was using this sound transmission stone to talk to Yun Zhen. He said that all the exits of the palace have been blocked by the rebels, and asked me to escape in the opposite direction of the palace. He kindly lent me this shikigami after hearing that I was lost in the woods."

As if she was showing off, Ji Anni's tone sounded happy and proud, and the dazzling smile on her face made Long Mohan frown subconsciously.

"You seem to trust the National Master very much." Long Mohan noticed that Ji Anni looked very happy every time she mentioned Yun Zhen.

"I trust him very much." Ji Anni raised her head and emphasized this sentence.

Her serious look stabbed Long Mohan's heart, as if Zhao Ji had announced in front of him that she had fallen in love with another man.

"Don't mention the National Master anymore." Long Mohan turned his head away and gave Ji Anni this unsatisfactory order somewhat capriciously.

"Why not? Your Majesty, do you think the Imperial Preceptor is not a trustworthy person?" Ji Anni regretted her words as soon as they came out of her mouth, because she suddenly remembered the story of Yun Zhen and Baogui Concubine.

To Long Mohan, Yun Zhen was the adulterer who made him wear a cuckold, so it would be strange for him to trust her. In fact, Long Mohan didn't care about what happened between Yun Zhen and Baogui Fei at all, he only cared about Ji Anni using Zhao Ji's face and Zhao Ji's expression to praise Yun Zhen.

Ji Anni didn't dare to delve into this issue, so she had to change the subject and asked, "By the way, Your Majesty, how did you get to the woods?"

Long Mohan is an important figure who is at the heart of the team. Logically, he should be protected by guards in the center of the team, and there is no chance for him to escape alone.

Long Mohan recalled: "The scene was chaotic, with explosions everywhere. The team was dispersed by the rebels, and I rode on horseback to find a way out... I accidentally ran into the woods, and then... I fell off my horse..."

He did not say "fleeing in a panic" or "not knowing which way to go", but said "looking for a way out" and "stumbled into something by accident". This is probably what is called the self-esteem of the royal family.

Ji Anni took over his words and said, "Yes, you fell off the horse, and then I saved you." No, I said it wrong because I was quick to speak. It seemed that it was not my credit, so I changed my words and said, "It was Lai De who saved you."

"Laide?" Long Mohan looked at Ji Anni in confusion. The word Lai De was a very unfamiliar name to him.

Ji Anni waved her hands and said, "Forget it. You won't know him even if I tell you. He's just a small guard, but he's warm-hearted and kind, and a very good person."

Hearing this, Long Mohan laughed dryly again.

"What's so funny? What are you laughing at?" Ji Anni didn't remember what funny things she had said.

"Although I know you are not the real Zhao Ji, but seeing Zhao Ji praising other men one after another in front of me so happily, my heart... still feels a little sour." Long Mohan sighed as he spoke, but he was not really angry. He just felt a little emotional and worried about the real Zhao Ji.

Since the first time they met, he had already noticed the differences between Ji Ani and So Ji, but he refused to believe the differences he had discovered, causing him to lose the best opportunity to find So Ji's return. Now dozens of days have passed, is So Ji dead or alive, and where is she?

Seeing Long Mohan sighing, Ji Anni raised her voice to encourage him and joked with him, saying, "Oh my, I never knew you were such a jealous person."

Long Mohan was not good at joking, so he turned around and said, "Don't say that anymore. I'll carry you."

The transitions between his two sentences were too fast, and there was no connection in between. Ji Anni scratched her head, suspecting that she had heard it wrong.

"Hurry up, this forest is dark and cold, and I don't want to waste time here." Long Mohan squatted in front of Ji Annie.

Lai De had done the same action in front of Ji Anni not long ago. But Lai De was just a friend and a buddy to Ji Anni, so it was okay for him to carry her on his back. But Long Mohan was different. He was the king of a country, the true dragon emperor. She was neither Tang Monk nor Nezha, and she did not have the courage to ride on the dragon's back.

"Your Majesty, please stand up. How can I let you carry me? It's not that I can't walk, I just need a cane." Ji Anni said, turning her head and looking around, looking for a branch that could be used as a cane in the nearby bushes. But under Long Mohan's two blazing eyes, she was too nervous to concentrate, her eyes fluttered around in the bushes, but she couldn't find a suitable branch.

Long Mohan was getting impatient and said in a more serious tone, "Stop talking nonsense. I just feel bad for Zhaoji's health."

What if Ji Anni was allowed to continue walking with her injured right foot and ended up making Zhao Ji a cripple?

"Okay, okay, I was just being sentimental." Since that was the case, Ji Annie didn't bother to be polite with him. She threw herself heavily on Long Mohan's back, trying to crush him to death with her weight.

It was a pity that Zhao Ji was a slender beauty. Not only could she not overwhelm Long Mo Han, but she also gave Long Mo Han the opportunity to have physical contact with Zhao Ji. Carrying Ji Anni on his back, Long Mo Han stood up again and suddenly felt like he had found Zhao Ji back. The familiar touch and the familiar breath were all the Zhao Ji he was familiar with, which aroused his infinite longing for Zhao Ji.

"Your Majesty, can you carry me on your back?" Seeing that Long Mohan was in a daze and didn't move a step, Ji Annie thought that her weight had crushed him.

"Of course I can carry you." Long Mohan answered stubbornly. While speaking, he had already taken several steps with Ji Anni on his back.

"Your Majesty, where are we going now?" Ji Anni looked at the dark woods ahead, unable to see the road or the direction.

Long Mohan said, "First, find a way to leave this forest safely, and then make plans."

"It's too late now, why don't we try to find the way tomorrow? Besides, Lai De is missing again, and I'm afraid he won't be able to find us and will get worried. Didn't you say that when you woke up, you were lying in a small wooden house? Can we go back there?"

Ji Anni wanted to use one night to heal her leg injury so that she wouldn't have to go through the trouble of having Long Mohan carry her on his back to find the way.

Long Mohan thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I also want to meet the little guard who saved me."

Hearing Long Mohan's tone, Ji Anni felt that Lai De was about to be appreciated.

Lai De, Lai De, you must perform well. Maybe the emperor will give you a small official position if he is in a good mood. Ji Anni thought and giggled, as if she was the one who was about to receive the reward.
