Chapter 113 Ambush
The fair-skinned palms faced upwards, and a yellow leaf fell on it.
Xia Shu gently pinched the dead leaves with his fingers. With a squeak, the leaves separated by a corner, and the incision was like a knife cutting.
"Although Fire Escape is good, it is too kind. Recently, the center of gravity has shifted greatly. You still need to work hard to practice Wind Escape!"
In his heart, he secretly urged him, and he threw away the dead leaves and let them fall down.
"Why not move forward?"
Cold words came from the luxurious carriage, and the Sakura Suit opened the curtain and squeezed out of it.
The girl was wearing military uniform, holding a knife with armor and a cool temperament arises naturally.
Her eyes swiftly and soon locked on the ninjas, who stopped the team's pace.
"Please be careful." Yukihiro Yue looked at her, then nodded slightly to Hinata who was approaching next to her.
"Blank your eyes!" The latter immediately made a seal, with blue veins at the corners of the eyes protruding, and his vision turned into a clean black and white state.
After a while, Hinata put down her hands and nodded slightly with a serious expression.
"Take a detour!" Yueguang Yukio made a quick decision to avoid the enemy's edge.
"Why take a detour?" Sakura Shi frowned and asked: "Xiazhi Forest covers a vast area. If you take a detour, it will only increase your journey in vain."
The so-called forest of clouds is the bleak jungle in front of you. The dry and fallen leaves still have a dark red color while turning yellow. It seems that the sunset of embers is named after this.
It’s a pity that I set foot here a little late, and it was already late autumn, and the scenery like the fire reflecting the clouds still moved with time.
"The unpredictable people lurking in the forest may be the gangster ambushing the princess." Yueguang Yukihiro replied indifferently.
"Since you are a bad person, just get rid of it!" Sakura Shi snorted coldly, very dissatisfied with it.
"Sorry, our mission is to escort the princess and allow her to arrive in the Frost Country safely. It is an unwise move to fall into danger." Yueguang Yukibo was neither humble nor arrogant, and he vetoed without hesitation.
The Sakura Shi's face was slightly cold, and her pretty face was covered with frost. She looked at Yueguang Yukihiro for a while, and finally snorted coldly, turning around and entering the carriage without comment.
"Why do you want to bypass Kasumi, take a detour from the south, or take a detour from the north? What if you consider the future journey? It's better to choose that?" Yuekura Yoshihiro turned around and asked Aoki Gennosuke and Maruseki Kosuke who had previously explored the road.
"It's closer to the north." Aoki Gennosuke replied with his fingers rubbing his chin, "But considering whether the journey will be smoother in the future... it should be going south."
At this time, a sentence was inserted.
"That's the past. If I'm right, this conclusion is derived from the map, right?" Musashi walked closer with a serious face, and then said respectfully: "I have passed through Kasumi Forest not long ago and asked the local residents, so I know that a small road connecting the main road has been built on the north side of Kasumi Forest."
Natsuki glanced at the kind-looking samurai deeply.
"Oh? Are you sure of the warrior?" Aoki Genyu said casually.
"Please be careful not to be so polite, just call me Musashi." The samurai warrior hurriedly returned the favor, looking as if he was guilty of being panicked.
"Okay, Musashi." Aoki Gennosuke shrugged and didn't insist.
"I am sure of this." Musashi continued: "I walked through that path myself not long ago, and it was completely accessible to the team."
"Okay." Aoki Gennosuke nodded slightly and looked at Yukihiro Moonlight with inquiry.
"Since that's the case, take a detour from the north of Xiazhi Forest." The latter shrugged, without hesitation, and nodded directly.
As a result, the team marched north along the left edge of the Xiazhi Forest.
After getting a little further away, Natsuki jumped from the slowly entering carriage and approached Hinata's side.
"Are the lurkers in the forest still following?" He lowered his voice.
"I have only followed it for a while, but now I'm going east." Hinata Kita was a little confused, and then added: "I'm out of the limit of insight that I can see."
"Yes." Xia Shu nodded in response, thinking about this strange situation in her mind.
Did you give up? When this thought arises, you shake your head secretly.
The probability is almost zero, after all, there has not been a fight yet.
So, is there an ambush elsewhere?
After following for a while, I gave up the tracking, but it was enough to determine the appropriation direction of the escort team. So... was the arrangement in the north of Xiazhi Forest?
When his thoughts came to this point, he glanced at the kind-hearted and reliable warrior again.
Is it a coincidence? Or is it another reason?
All the things are all possible, but only then can you confirm it completely.
It is not easy to walk along the road in Xiazhi Forest. The dead leaves falling from the branches piled up together. Like a layer of yellow and red clothing, one step down, it is deep or shallow, and ordinary people can't stabilize their bodies at all. Even the warriors exclaimed several times and fell to the ground in a mess.
This is true for walking, let alone a carriage.
So Xia Shu and others also saw the princess's appearance for the first time.
The luxurious carriage finally paused with a shout.
The Sakura Suit lifted the curtain and held a soft plain hand.
The innocent girl looked at the outside world timidly, then quickly buried her head and hid behind Sakura Shi, looking at the world like a newborn baby beast.
The two beauties with different temperaments appeared, instantly snatching everyone's attention.
However, after the warriors reacted, they all bowed their heads and did not dare to take a look.
"That's it, princess? Sure enough..." Kuino Kuroyu's eyes shone, then wiped the corner of his mouth and glanced at Kyoko Saito quietly. His eyes were quite resentful, and a smile that should have been raised in the corner of his mouth.
However, this look was captured by Kyoko Saito's keen intuition. She frowned and looked at the gentle and innocent princess, and secretly compared herself - her expression was stiff for a moment, then...
In an instant! Her eyes looked at Kuno Heiyu and became fierce!
Kuno Heiyu was shocked and looked around with caution, but he didn't notice anything. He immediately became confused. Why did he feel cold on his spine inexplicably?
Sakura Shi was calm and calm, rolled up her trousers and sleeves for the innocent girl, held her hand, and walked slowly, and it was even more steady than the steps of those samurai.
At dusk, the sky is shining in the distance, and the forest of the clouds reflects the rays of the sun, adding a few past views.
It is speculated that there are hidden dangers in Xiazhi Forest North, not only Xia Shu.
At this moment, Hinata followed the order of Yukihiro Toshiki and left the team. He sneaked into the deserted forest with two teammates who had a tacit understanding and observed the end of the north side of the Kasumi Forest with his eyes rolling his eyes.
"There is an ambush!" This unexpected result made Hinata's face solemn. The blue veins in the corners of his eyes were protruding, looking a little ferocious. Then he added: "And, it's a ninja!"
