Spring Forest Evening

Sure enough, across the stone road outside the forest, a group of indistinct figures appeared on the opposite side, as if they were searching for the situation on the stone road.

It seemed that there were quite a few people who came, and Zhou Heng felt his hairs stand on end for a moment. Could it be the people from Queen Jiang who came to search for them?

Fortunately, although it was quite dark outside the forest, it was better than the pitch-black forest after all, and now with a bit of dim light, at the moment when the crowd quickly passed the stone road in batches, perhaps they were too familiar with Shen Fu. It was for Zhou Heng to see at a glance that the figure at the head was him!

Immediately excited, she hurriedly hugged the fourth prince and stood up, wanting to go forward to meet him, while shouting in a low voice uncontrollably:

"I am here!"

Maybe it was because of a tacit understanding, Shen Fu, who had just entered the forest, stopped first, and then quickly ran towards her, while shouting in a low voice:

"Aheng!"

Oh my god, it's like reuniting after a long absence!Zhou Heng only felt that his eye sockets were a little wet, and he was so excited that he didn't even bother to pay attention to his feet. Because of this, he almost tripped over the grass. Fortunately, the forest was not wide, and when she leaned forward and rushed forward , Shen Fu had come quickly and timely to support her, and then supported her with one hand and took the fourth prince from her arms with the other.

The fourth prince who was lying in Zhou Heng's arms was lifted upright by him, and he put the little guy's head on his shoulders, and then patted his small body to comfort him.

At this moment, the fourth prince had already become an unshakeable sleepy god again, his reaction to this handover was just to smack his mouth twice, and then he leaned on Shen Fu's shoulder and still slept soundly.

People who have hugged children are different. Zhou Heng was very satisfied with Shen Fu's considerate behavior, rubbed his sore arms, and asked him quickly:

"Are you OK?"

"Are you OK?"

Shen Fu also asked in a low voice at this time, and when he heard her question, he quickly answered:

"I'm fine!"

"I'm fine!"

I don't want Zhou Heng to react in the same way. Hearing the same answer from him, he is still a little worried. After all, something big happened in Cuiwei Palace.

It's a pity that the forest was too dark to see clearly, so while agreeing, he touched Shen Fu's hand, saw that his hand was dry and unscathed, then touched his face, it was hot and a little slippery, and his heart suddenly felt a pang. Fortunately, Shen Fu pressed her hand, and explained in a low voice in time:

"I walked in a hurry just now, and I sweated a little."

The maid who led the way also came over now, and when she heard Shen Fu's words, she also helped to say:

"Don't worry girl."

Rest assured, relieved, but that hand was also held by Shen Fu, Xu Shi was indeed walking in a hurry, and Shen Fu's hand was also very hot, okay, even though the people behind were also surrounded at the moment Come over, anyway, there are dark lights in the woods, and they must not be able to see clearly, so let it go, just hold it!

Zhou Heng let him hold it, responded in a low voice, and leaned over to watch the movement of the fourth prince lying on his shoulder.

Shen Fu shook her hand, motioning her to look at the people who followed:

"Ah Heng, this is Huben Guard Commander Xu and his people."

And he said to one of them:

"Brother Xu, please check to see if the fourth prince is safe and sound."

The leader of Hubenwei also came?Also, why did you report my name?Zhou Heng was startled, and subconsciously grabbed Shen Fu's arm with his other hand.

But Commander Xu really came over and took a closer look at the fourth prince who was sleeping on Shen Fu's shoulder, touched his little hand, and then took a step back, and saluted Zhou Heng with his fists in a very serious voice. said:

"Ms. Zhou is a woman who does not give in to men. She is loyal and courageous. Xu admires her!"

admire me?Still loyal?Such a big word... Zhou Heng was puzzled, but at least he was a person who had been in the workplace for many years, and Shen Fu was beside him. Although he didn't know how well the person in front of him understood his situation, seeing Shen Fu remained silent, He returned a salute and said something vaguely modest:

"Commander Xu has been praised, this is what I should do."

As soon as the words fell, Shen Fu answered:

"Okay, now is not the time to talk. Although there is no one following behind for the time being, we have to hurry up. Once the fire is under control at Phoenix Feather Palace, the secret passage will be discovered sooner or later. It's not too late!"

After hearing this, the palace maid answered beside her, and then she took the lead to walk to the other side of the forest, followed by two tiger guards, and the other three stopped behind.

Zhou Heng was afraid that Shen Fu would struggle to hold the child with one hand, so he let go of his hand and followed him.

There was no one outside. After taking the lead and walking along the edge of the forest for a while and carefully identifying the surrounding environment, the maid finally stopped in front of a big pine tree, and then went out with two tiger guards.

Zhou Heng followed Shen Fu to watch, and the three people outside worked together to lift a bluestone slab on the stone slab road not far from the water, it seems that there is the entrance to the secret passage.

Seeing this, Shen Fu pulled Zhou Heng's hand, and said in a deep voice:

"Let's go!"

And Commander Xu said:

"My lord, wait for me to go down and have a look first."

Zhou Heng was taken aback by these words, go down first?What if there are still people guarding the secret passage?Ordinarily, as the commander of the Huben Guard, wouldn't he be ignorant of this?

So this person and Shen Fu should trust each other?Shen Fu told him his true identity, but in return, or because of his duty as a tiger guard, this commander chose to stand in front of the Fourth Prince?

Shen Fu responded:

"Brother Xu, be careful!"

Turning to Zhou Heng again, he said:

"Wait and you follow me, don't be afraid."

Zhou Heng responded in a low voice, but his heart beat wildly uncontrollably. Fortunately, after the two Huben Guard guards and Commander Xu went down for a while, Commander Xu came up and said that there was no problem down there. The steps at the entrance have been repaired. Although it is relatively cramped, you only need to go down the steps. The two people who went down before will meet them below.

Then Shen Fu said something that surprised Zhou Heng:

"Okay, brother Xu, let's stay here!"

The other party was also very happy, touched the little hand of the sleeping god fourth prince again, and said:

"Okay, let's contact each other later, everything is thanks to you, my lord!"

Then he said to the other three Huben guards:

"I have said everything that needs to be said, the five of you will follow the prince to protect the prince with all your strength."

The three of them clasped their fists in response, and Commander Xu didn't say anything more after that, he clasped his fists at Zhou Heng and said:

"It will be hard work girl from now on!"

As if to stay where they are and send them away.

So this person is going back?Back to Cuiwei Palace?Zhou Heng almost asked in doubt, but Shen Fu held his hand:

"Let's go, let's talk!"
