Chun Hua Yun/ Spring Blossoms / Kill Me Love Me

Chapter 006 (4)

The road out of the mountain was not smooth. In some places, the pergola could not pass. Meilin could only get Murong Jinghe through by half dragging and half carrying, so the pergola had no choice but to give up.

However, no matter how difficult it was, just when Murong Xuanlie's sea holly appeared in the sky again, they finally arrived at the edge of the mountain forest, which took them five full days.

Unfortunately, when they saw the military camp stationed outside the mountain forest, they had to retreat.

"It's the Lucheng Army." Murong Jinghe closed his eyes and said calmly. Although he didn't say much, Mei Lin could probably guess that Emperor Yan must have ordered the blockade of Zhongshan, otherwise who would dare to mobilize the army without authorization. It can be deduced from this that Zhongshan's other outlets must have been blocked.

The mountain was sealed but not searched. Father, you guarded me so closely! The bitterness on the corners of Murong Jinghe's lips disappeared for a fleeting moment, and was instantly replaced by determination.

Meilin didn't know much about these court matters, but she also knew that going out like this would never bring him any favours, so she quietly dragged Murong Jinghe back. Murong Jinghe did not object, he must have the same concerns as her.

"What should I do?" Mei Lin asked as the two huddled between the rocks.

"If I don't go back for a long time, they will definitely launch a massive search of the mountain soon. We can't stay in the mountain for a long time." Murong Jinghe muttered.

Mei Lin frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said, "I can send you to the edge of the forest, but I won't go out." With Makino Luomei here, she is afraid that she has become the most wanted criminal, so how can she dare to throw herself into the trap.

When Murong Jinghe heard this, his eyes, which were always half-open and half-closed, as if he had never had enough sleep, immediately widened, "How dare you!" After several days of friction, he finally got rid of the slutty maid slave.

"I think we can try it." Mei Lin couldn't help but laugh.

Murong Jinghe then moved his fingers and grabbed her ankle, which was right next to him, as if they were repeating the scene of that day, but he didn't say anything yet.

Mei Lin suddenly lost her temper.

"I remember there is a legend in Zhongshan." Murong Jinghe spoke slowly, with a thoughtful expression on his face, "It is said that someone once lost his way in Zhongshan and walked into a mountain peak. After passing through the mountain peak, he unexpectedly... Reached the boundary of Anyang."

"Anyang?" Mei Lin was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, thinking that the legend was really nonsense. Anyang was more than two hundred miles away, and it would take several days for a carriage to travel. How could it be possible to get there through a mountain peak?

"It's not impossible..." Murong Jinghe saw her disapproving expression and whispered. She knew that in order to escape from Zhaojing's prisoner, he had not let go of any possibility for several years. Even this legend, which was completely impossible to become a fact in the eyes of the world, had been investigated on the spot by his close associates.

Seeing his expression, Mei Lin couldn't help but be alert, and realized that they might really have a way out.

They casually grabbed some mountain fruits to eat, and then followed Murong Jinghe's instructions, while avoiding the flat-haired beasts in the sky, they headed towards the legendary stone forest.

The so-called Stone Forest is a barren beach in the southwest of Zhongshan Mountain, known as the Burning Field. The place is full of charred stones, without any growth, as if they had been burned by fire, hence the name. 

It is backed by Zhishan, the highest peak of Zhongshan Mountain, and faces the endless forest. It stands out among the green mountains and forests. However, whether they are adventurers looking for secluded places or hunters accustomed to walking in the mountains and forests, they will try their best to avoid it and do not want to get close. Because it is said that anyone who enters the burning site will never come out again. Some people even say that the burning field is actually a maze. After entering, people will quickly lose their way until they starve to death.
