Gu Nuo’er blinked. “How could this be? I’ll go take a look with you guys!” Jiang Xiaoran quickly said, “Why don’t I go? Your Highness can stay here.”
“There’s no need. Playboy older brother, wait here for Elder Brother Siming to come back. If you see him, tell him.”
Jiang Xiaoran hesitated for a moment.
Although they were going to the back mountain, there were soldiers everywhere.
Gu Nuo’er should be fine.
He nodded. “Alright.”
Gu Nuo’er left with the soldiers.
As there was a little distance from the back of the mountain, she was carried onto the horse by a soldier and the plan was to go there on horseback.
However, the soldier clearly hesitated.
He wasn’t worthy, let alone qualified, to ride the same horse as the princess.
Moreover, the most serious thing was that if Marquis Yongye saw this, he might be unhappy.
After all, it was usually the marquis who brought the princess with him.
Gu Nuo’er lowered her thick eyelashes and blinked curiously at the motionless soldier who was deep in thought.
She seemed to have guessed what he was thinking.
Her pink lips curled up and she gave a comforting smile. “It’s alright, older brother. I can ride a horse myself.”
“Your Highness knows how to ride a horse?”
As if to answer him, the child shook the reins with her small hand and gently clamped the horse’s stomach twice.
The horse really ran forward obediently.
When the soldier saw this, he hurriedly got onto a horse and chased after her.
The two of them arrived at the back of the mountain in the time it took for half an incense to burn.
At this moment, the rain turned from drops to pattering.
Gu Nuo’er’s wet hair stuck to her fair face.
Perhaps because she was cold, the tip of her nose was pink and delicate.
When she first arrived at the back of the mountain, she saw that the forest that covered the mountains and plains was filled with thick fog.
There was actually no one here.
At least 50 soldiers had come just now.
How could there be no one?!
The soldier behind her was still puzzled. “Strange, where are they?”
He raised his voice and called out to the people he knew. “Wang Jin! Ma He!” However, what responded to him was a faint echo coming from the valley.
The distant mountains were hidden in the rain and fog that looked like they were from ink paintings.
Wisps of white fog also spread out from the deep and wide pool at the side.
On the right was a hillside with trees on it.
Gu Nuo’er recognized this place. She had fallen from here with Ye Siming previously.
However, there was no more dangerous terrain at the back of the mountain.
It was impossible for those soldiers to go anywhere further when they came to pick medicinal herbs.
Gu Nuo’er sniffed.
She kept having the feeling that there seemed to be a strange smell in the air.
She gently spurred her horse and slowly walked up the slope.
“Let’s go take a look at the front and see if they’ve gone off to another place.”
The child pointed to the other side. “Older brother, go over there and look. We’ll meet here later.”
The soldier hesitated. “Your Highness, this subject had better follow you.”
Otherwise, if anything were to happen and the princess was lost in the huge forest, he wouldn’t be able to bear the responsibility of losing his head like this.
Gu Nuo’er shook her head. “The situation is urgent. The earlier we find them, the earlier we can go back. It’s fine. I won’t run far.”
Hearing this, the soldier turned to the other side.
Gu Nuo’er gradually rode her horse forward, but the fog in front of her was actually thicker than before.
In fact, she could no longer tell the direction when she was sitting on the horse and couldn’t see the road ahead.
She only felt that the surrounding trees all looked the same. There was fog everywhere, and even the rain had stopped at some point.
Her horse refused to take another step forward and kicked its front hooves anxiously..
