Chapter 434 Arrival at the Outskirts of the Monster Forest
Ye Qing'an was taken aback: "A rebellion? Is it far from our Wangjing City? Will we be affected?"
“Far away.” Liu Enze smiled. “The rebellion started in Qian’an, which is far from Wangjing City. You don’t need to worry.”
Qian'an...
Ye Qing'an pursed her lips. She naturally knew this place. Qian'an was the place where Yi Moxu was exiled.
“Qian’an.” Ye Qing’an nodded. “I’ve heard that Qian’an is a place of exile, and it’s very chaotic. But since it’s a place of exile, the Emperor should have always had people watching over it. Even if there’s a rebellion, it shouldn’t be too serious, right?”
"Moreover, Qian'an is so far from our Wangjing City, so why has the entry and exit from Wangjing City become so strict?"
Liu Enze smiled and said, "To prevent traitors from infiltrating Wangjing City, which is the imperial city and is inhabited by noble families and royal nobles, we cannot afford to be careless."
“That’s true.” Ye Qing’an nodded, not wanting to arouse Liu Enze’s suspicion, and said no more.
Liu Enze's gaze fell on Ye Qing'an again: "Did you leave the city for Lord Ye's sake?"
Ye Qing'an responded and smiled, "Ye Zirui has left the palace. He can keep an eye on things in the mansion. I've come to check on the situation here."
Liu Enze raised an eyebrow: "Ye Zirui has left the palace, so you're leaving too? He usually bullies you in the mansion?"
Ye Qing'an still had a smile on her face: "It's not so much bullying, but I have a long-standing grudge against Liu Xueying and Ye Weilan. Recently, Liu Xueying has been in some trouble and has been acting crazy. Ye Weilan even attacked Liu Xueying because of this. Ye Zirui might suspect that I was behind these things. I am alone and weak in the Ye family, so it's better to stay out of the way."
Liu Enze scrutinized Ye Qing'an for a long time before nodding: "Alright, it's fine for you to wait for Ye Qinghao. With Ye Qinghao there, at least he can protect you a little. Besides... what I said before still stands. If you have any problems, you can come to me. Although I'm not in Wangjing City, I've left quite a few people there."
"Okay, thank you very much, Mr. Liu. I will never forget your kindness."
Once the food was served, the two stopped talking.
After the meal, the two packed their things and parted ways.
Halfway there, it suddenly started to rain. The rain wasn't heavy, but it still delayed us a bit.
By the time Ye Qing'an arrived outside the Monster Forest, it was already evening.
Although there was a palace outside the Monster Forest, no one dared to stay there now that Yi Yun Kui was not there, so they set up camp on the grassland outside the Monster Forest.
As soon as Ye Qing'an arrived outside the camp, he was stopped. After Ye Qing'an gave his name, he was soon taken inside by soldiers and taken directly to the main camp.
Inside the main camp, Gu Hai and He Yi were both present. Upon seeing Ye Qing'an, Gu Hai frowned, his expression turning somewhat unpleasant: "Heh, truly an ignorant woman. Do you even know where this is? Do you think this is a place you can come and go as you please?"
After saying that, he noticed Eleven standing to the side and asked, "You've brought the whole family along, are you here for a spring outing?"
Ye Qing'an lowered her head and took two steps back, her face showing a hint of panic: "I... I heard that Father had an accident, and I was really worried. I thought that since Father had fallen into this magical beast forest, I would stay here outside so that I could receive news of Father as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, Lord Gu, I will definitely not run around. I have brought maids and servants with me, so you don't need to spare any extra energy to take care of me. I will definitely behave myself and not cause any trouble for others."
Gu Hai sneered: "Fine, if you're willing to stay, then stay. But you need to know one thing: the Taotie hasn't been eliminated yet, and there's danger at any time. If you fall into the Taotie's mouth, we absolutely will not rescue you."
"I...I know."
Ye Qing'an raised his eyes and saw He Yi standing to the side looking at him with a scrutinizing gaze.
Ye Qing'an met his gaze, but avoided his eyes and retreated with her head down.
“Miss, everything is settled.” Shen Qingdai came up: “The tents and everything else have been prepared and put away. I will take you there.”
"it is good."
Just as Ye Qing'an agreed, a roar rang out.
Ye Qing'an turned her head and looked in the direction from which the roar came. Although it was already evening, the sky was not completely dark yet. Ye Qing'an saw at a glance that a face was appearing and disappearing in the clouds above the Demon Beast Forest.
It is Taotie.
Just as the thought flashed through Ye Qing'an's mind, she heard an exclamation: "Quick, quick, quick, go and report to the general! The Taotie is here again!"
"Quickly, raise the barrier; we can't let the Taotie see us."
Immediately, Ye Qing'an saw Gu Duo and He Yi both walk out of the tent, and all the soldiers used their spiritual power to create a barrier above the tent.
The Taotie's body gradually came into view, its gaze constantly sweeping over the area below, looking quite relaxed, as if it were taking a stroll.
"Wasn't that Taotie still in the west this morning? How did it suddenly come here? Did it drink up the entire river in the west?"
Then, everyone saw that the Taotie's eyes seemed to light up, and it immediately bent down and rushed down into the monster forest below.
"It went to the Monster Forest," someone muttered.
"The Monster Forest is full of monsters and trees. If it wants to eat, it should have enough to last it for a while, right?"
Although the Taotie went to the Demon Beast Forest, everyone still dared not let their guard down.
"not good!"
Someone exclaimed.
"The soldiers His Majesty sent to search for Prime Minister Ye are still in the Monster Forest."
Gu Hai and He Yi both frowned deeply: "Form ranks, assemble."
At Gu Hai's command, all the soldiers immediately began to form ranks.
Ye Qing'an leaned to the side, frowning as she looked at the soldiers running around.
It is true that there are three thousand soldiers in the Monster Forest, but there are also countless monsters.
Among those magical beasts, many possessed relatively high spiritual power.
That gluttonous beast eats everything. If it falls into the monster forest, the monsters that can't defeat it will surely flee in all directions...
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes. If those magical beasts were to run around and escape from this magical beast forest, it was indeed possible.
Perhaps because they had gained experience in dealing with the Taotie recently, the soldiers quickly assembled and then headed towards the Monster Forest together.
Gu Hai released several eagles to scout out information.
The tent fell silent immediately.
"Miss? What do we do?"
"No rush, let's go back to the camp and wait."
