After sleeping for a long time, people tend to be more tired. Zhao Xi wandered leisurely along the path alone, angry that Zhao Xueyang left him for a whole day.Walking and walking, ah, he even admired the scene in the palace.

It seems that the owner's family loves flowers very much, and the path is full of flowering trees and green plants. This season is when a hundred flowers bloom, and the path ahead is winding, giving a sense of seclusion.

After walking around alone for a long time, Zhao Xi was tired and found a pavilion to sit down, staring at the sunset that was almost invisible.

In front of it is the vermilion courtyard wall, and I thought I had returned to the palace in a trance.

A branch of a big tree in the next yard stretched out, casting a mottled shadow on the wall, shaking slightly.On the stone bricks under the corner of the wall, there was a pear cat squatting there, facing the wall motionless, with the tip of its tail raised high.

The cat looked at the shadow on the wall, and Zhao Xi looked at the cat.

The cat looked very small, with a round, fluffy head. Zhao Xi liked it more and more, and couldn't help getting up and wanting to pet it.

It was only when I entered that I realized something was wrong. In the corner of the wall, there was clearly a two-finger-wide black snake hovering in front of it. The snake's body was bent, like a bow ready to go, confronting the kitten.

Zhao Xi paused, not daring to pass.

This snake is not too small, its body is covered with black scales, very dark in color and smooth.The head is not the usual triangle of poisonous snakes, but round.A pair of black peas eyes glowed coldly.

Zhao Xi had seen cats fighting with snakes in the orphanage before. At that time, he was worried that the cat would be bitten to death, but he found that the usually lazy, fat and beeping fat cat was unusually agile, a bit like its distant relatives. Won.

At this moment, I saw that the snake was not small, more than one meter long, two fingers wide, and the whole body was pitch black, while the pear cat was only a few months old, so it was hard to tell when fighting.Once wounded by a snake, it is easy to be strangled to death.

"Meow--" Zhao Xi uttered a voice, trying to tease the kitten over, but he ignored it at all, and stared at the black snake with his tail full of fighting spirit.

Zhao Xi had no choice but to stand not far away and wait and see.

I don't know who made the first move, a cat and a snake started to fight each other, the figure of the snake moving around was really frightening, Zhao Xi quickly hid back, after all, it looked very poisonous, he didn't want to be bitten.

On the contrary, he underestimated the kitten. After a while, Black Snake was defeated and kept retreating, with several scars on his body from the cat's claws.

The kitten was ready to win the game, so he went forward and continued to pick and pull it. Zhao Xi somehow felt that the black one was aggrieved, so he curled up and didn't move.

He knows that cats are very curious. They will pull and pull every rope they see, and they will not die if they catch a snake. I don’t know what kind of snake this snake is. It must have escaped from the animal garden if it can appear in the palace. After all, it is domesticated. Stepped forward and drove the kitten away.

"Go, go!" He still thinks the cat is cute, but its claws have not been confiscated, and the blood of the snake is still on them. Zhao Xi didn't dare to hug it, so he just gently pushed it with his feet.

I didn't dare to use force, the touch of my feet was soft, and I was afraid that it would break it.

The black that was soft and defeated just now slipped away along the base of the wall.

The kitten let out a growl of dissatisfaction, and raised its tail towards Zhao Xi.It's a pity that the threatening growl sounded like a milky "meow!" It had no deterrent effect at all.

After a while, he jumped up the wall and ran away.

Zhao Xi watched a '***', and when he looked up, he found that the sun had already set and the light was dim.

I met a servant in a hurry, saying that Zhao Xueyang was waiting for him in the front hall.

Followed to the front hall, Zhao Xueyang was sitting at the table, the dishes had already been served, and seemed to be waiting for him.

"Are you back?" Zhao Xi found a place to sit down and asked casually.

"Yeah." He reached out and scooped up a bowl of lotus seed soup in front of him, "I heard from them that you didn't wake up until the afternoon and didn't eat lunch. Are you hungry?"

The hunger with an empty stomach just after waking up is slowly aroused by the smell of food at this moment.Zhao Xi drank a bowl of soup and ate two bowls of rice before he was full.

Hiccupping his stomach, he lay back and slowly digested his food leisurely.The two had been getting along for a long time, and Zhao Xi had no rules in private. Zhao Xueyang had long been used to it, and didn't say anything about him.

"I went to the barracks in the afternoon. It's on the outskirts of the city. A spy came to report that the last direction where the father disappeared may have entered Ye'er's drum by mistake. I'm going to set out tomorrow to rescue."

He put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth, and waved his hands to let the dishes be taken away.

Zhao Xigang was still in a state of emptying his mind, and when he heard this, he glanced at him: "What is 'Ye'ergu'?"

He hasn't read the book that is under the pressure of Prince Anjing for a long time.

In the mansion, the handwritten original plot guide was pressed under the bed in his room.It's just to ponder the main plot, and I'm only a little familiar with the words mentioned in the original book.

"Most of the land in Miaojiang is in the mountains to the south of the border of Dazhou. Huaiyan is separated from Miaojiang by the big river outside the city. There are many Miao people living in the deep mountains not far from the city. They live with snakes all the year round. Insects and other poisonous things as companions. I heard that there is a place in the depths that even they dare not set foot in. Huaiyang is close to Miaojiang, and we have known that legend since childhood."

"It is said that in the depths of the mountains, there is a mysterious place called 'Ye'er Drum'. People who disrespect the witches and gods walk in the mountains, there will be a sudden gust of wind, the leaves will rustle, and they will gradually grow bigger and bigger. It's the drums of war beating. Then there's a fog on the ground, and the punishment falls."

In broad daylight, Zhao Xueyang deliberately lowered his voice, as if telling a story.Originally, he wanted to scare Zhao Xi, but he didn't realize that his slightly clear voice was deliberately lowered, and there was a different kind of temptation in his ears.

Zhao Xi immediately remembered that in the original book, their vital energy was severely injured at this stop, which seemed to be related to this natural phenomenon. It sounds like "Ye'ergu" does not refer to a place, but a phenomenon.

It seems that King Huaiyang's army was introduced into the mountains, and suddenly there was a thick fog, and then there were heavy casualties.

But he was a little strange, even if Lu Yuanda was the Chosen One, and his luck increased, could this natural phenomenon with a very low probability be used by him at will?

"Can this kind of trap trap people for [-] days?" Zhao Xi asked anxiously.

"It's not that you can't, but that you don't have to." Zhao Xueyang said in a cold voice with deep eyebrows. "The fog dissipated after three days, and all the living things were a group of bones."

"What's in that fog?" Zhao Xi asked, "Isn't this thing a legend?"

"It's true, it's just that they rarely appear. We hardly provoke the Miao people, and we are almost unwilling to go to the mountains when there is a war. So they want to hide in the mountains, and we have nothing to do."

But they didn't dare to invade Huaiyang's land, and ran away if they couldn't beat them.Repeating this way is a bit of a fight, so the emperor who is far away in the high hall feels that Huaiyang has a different heart and flirts with Miao Jiang.

"If we really met 'Ye'ergu', we can understand the reason why the father disappeared. When the fog clears, I'm afraid there will be heavy casualties. We just go to rescue them." Zhao Xueyang said.

Zhao Xi didn't ask him why he was sure that King Huaiyang was still alive in such a dangerous situation, and he didn't dare to ask.Looking at his determined face, he could feel the uneasiness in his heart.

"Do you need me to go with you?" Zhao Xi thought that after all, he wasn't strong enough or smart enough to be of much use, and he was afraid that he would be a hindrance.

Ordinary soldiers are fine, they are family members after all, Zhao Xueyang will inevitably have a lot of scruples, so it is better to ask him for advice first.

Zhao Xueyang glanced at him: "Afraid?"

Zhao Xi subconsciously sat up straight and puffed out his chest: "Don't be afraid."

"Then go together."

"it is good."

Zhao Xueyang grabbed his hand and held it in his older hand, kneading it, "Since the marriage of my family has been settled, the dowry has been accepted, and even the family business has been handed over to you, it is already our Zhao family. Save your father-in-law Should go."

Zhao Xi muttered in his heart to save the old man.He said firmly, "It should."

[The author has something to say: I was really scared when I wrote Ye Ergu at night.There's no way I'm too timid
