Forced to die for his loyalty, he was reborn in the arms of the cold and cruel regent!
Chapter 142: Making things difficult
Shen Mengyao is like a drowning person who has grabbed the last straw and is unwilling to let go.
"Can you come with us to have a look? Or do you know any other miracle doctors? I just hope to save the person I care about..."
Her voice trembled slightly.
The woodcutter sighed, ruffled the dust on the brim of his hat, and deliberately dragged out the ending tone, saying lightly: "But I still have so much work to do. The herbs have not been dried, and most importantly, there is still a medicine that I haven't found. I have lived here for so long just to find this herb."
"Okay, I can agree to all your requests." After Shen Mengyao responded, she immediately turned around to help take out the herbs and dry them in the sun.
The woodcutter handed her an atlas and said, "This is the medicine in here. If you can find it, it will be worth a lot of money."
Shen Mengyao was overjoyed. She took the atlas and carefully memorized this seemingly insignificant herb. Then she asked, "What are the properties of this herb?"
The woodcutter nodded in appreciation: "It really is so clear at once. This thing likes the sun, but also likes moisture."
Luo Chuan looked at the endless mountains and rivers, feeling worried all the time. He immediately grabbed Shen Mengyao and said, "Princess, this is too dangerous. Please wait here and I will go find her."
"Then let's split up and search separately, maybe our chances will be greater." Shen Mengyao did not completely reject his kindness, but just each of them designated a direction.
Luo Chuan was very worried, fearing that something unexpected would happen, but Shen Mengyao was determined to the end and did not back down: "The chances of success will be greater if we search separately. We can't delay any longer at this moment. Luo Chuan, do you understand me?"
Seeing her sincere eyes, Luo Chuan sighed and nodded: "Okay, Princess, be careful."
The weather in the mountains is really changeable. It was sunny in the morning, but it was a little cloudy at noon. In the afternoon, heavy rain fell without warning, and it was dark all around.
The heavy rain had made the hillside extremely slippery, and each step of climbing seemed extremely difficult, but the hillside within sight seemed an unreachable end.
The heavy rain made the visibility very poor, and the surrounding roads seemed to have changed their appearance in a few seconds. Luochuan knew that he could not stay in this unfamiliar mountain any longer, so he hurried back.
The courtyard is still peaceful and quiet. I opened the wooden door and walked in quickly. Under the eaves, the woodcutter was lying on a recliner with agarwood burning next to him, and the fragrance was everywhere.
Seeing him like this, Luo Chuan couldn't help it anymore, and rushed forward angrily and grabbed his collar: "What on earth are you thinking? If anything happens to my princess, the palace will not let you go."
"I didn't ask her to go. She said so herself. It has nothing to do with me."
The woodcutter rolled his eyes at him, pulled back his collar, closed his eyes and lay back down on the recliner.
Luochuan was so angry that he raised his fist high and threw it down heavily. However, he didn't expect that the woodcutter was so skilled that he supported the rattan chair with one hand, turned over and avoided the attack.
He waved a large palm-leaf fan, smiled calmly and said, "You have some skills, but unfortunately, you are not fast, accurate and ruthless enough, so you can't defeat the enemy with one strike."
Luochuan was so angry that his teeth were itching.
The woodcutter, on the other hand, chuckled and said, "If you were really worried about your princess, you wouldn't be wasting time here. You could look around now. Maybe you could find your princess's corpse intact."
His words were so harsh that Luochuan became even more angry.
"Stop talking nonsense here!" Luo Chuan was furious after hearing this and punched the woodcutter.
Unexpectedly, the woodcutter was agile and easily dodged Luo Chuan's attack, still with a relaxed smile on his face: "Oh, so excited, it seems that your princess is really important to you."
Luo Chuan gnashed his teeth, knowing that he was no match for this seemingly ordinary old man. He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said, "As long as you are willing to help find my princess, I am willing to follow your arrangements."
The woodcutter narrowed his eyes, seeming a little surprised by Luo Chuan's compromise: "Oh? Are you begging me?"
"I am willing to listen to your arrangements, and I only ask you to save my princess." Luo Chuan's tone was firm, without any retreat.
The woodcutter stared at Luochuan for a long time, as if he was considering his sincerity. Finally, he nodded and said, "Okay, in view of your sincerity, I will help you find it. However, whether you can find it or not depends on God's will."
Luo Chuan heard this, although he still felt a little uneasy, but he had no other choice but to ask the woodcutter: "Thank you, senior, please leave as soon as possible."
The woodcutter patted Luochuan on the shoulder and said, "He who can bend and stretch is a hero."
He then turned and went back into the house, and after a while, he came out carrying a bamboo basket on his back and holding a cane.
Luo Chuan was anxious, but he couldn't speed up any more, so he could only follow the woodcutter. The two of them didn't say a word along the way, and they quickly shuttled through the mountains and forests. The heavy rain made the mountain road slippery and difficult to walk on, but Luo Chuan didn't dare to slack off and followed the woodcutter closely.
He was very familiar with the mountain roads here. Even though they were slippery and difficult to walk on in rainy days, he could still move nimbly through the mountains and forests.
According to the direction Shen Mengyao left, the two people chased all the way, but there was no trace of Shen Mengyao along the way.
Luo Chuan was thinking about the growing conditions of the herb and considering whether he could find it nearby. Suddenly, he saw a cliff in front of him. On the top of the cliff, there were several green spots, bathed in rain and sunshine.
Will it be there...
He walked over slowly, but before he got close to the woodcutter, his expression suddenly changed. He grabbed him by the collar and took a few steps back.
In just a moment, the rocks, mud and water on the mountain gathered together and flowed down, carrying with them a large area of the mountain.
Luo Chuan's eyes were red with anger, and he shouted loudly: "Princess, Princess!"
"Don't wail anymore. Your princess may not be among them." The woodcutter said calmly.
Luo Chuan simply couldn't accept this reality, his heart felt like it was pierced by a sharp blade, the pain was so severe that he couldn't breathe. He clutched his chest tightly.
"How can you be so cold-blooded? She is a princess and a member of the imperial palace. Aren't you afraid of retribution for treating her like this?" Luo Chuan's voice trembled.
The woodcutter glanced at him and sneered, "Don't scare me. And you, young man, are not calm at all when faced with things. You show your true colors so quickly? It's boring."
