After traveling through time, I was spotted by the new emperor

Chapter 143 The conversation is over again!

Ye Wuyi rode non-stop on his journey and arrived at the southern part of the desert ten days later.

Ye Hongxia pulled the horse back:

"Rest well here today and prepare more food, because the road ahead will be difficult."

During these ten days, Ye Wuwei had thought about getting rid of Ye Hongxia, but he couldn't do it.

Ye Wuwei then discovered:

His "high professional level" in modern times was because he was facing ordinary people. If he really met a master like Ye Hongxia, the gap in strength between the two would be huge, and his professional level would be like a child playing house.

Since he couldn't get rid of him, Ye Wuwei could only let it go for now and treat it as an extra bodyguard with strong martial arts skills.

Ye Wuwei decided to find a way to get rid of Ye Hongxia after arriving in the north!

After ten days of getting along, putting other things aside, Ye Wuwei actually likes Ye Hongxia very much.

Ye Hongxia did have a bad temper and little patience. She would curse at anyone and even resort to violence if she disagreed with someone. But all her bad behavior was out in the open.

She has a clear distinction between love and hate but is not completely confused about right and wrong; she is extremely protective but is not unreasonable; she is ten percent reasonable and only three percent unreasonable.

She is not scheming, but not stupid; she asks when she doesn't understand and never pretends to know.

What Ye Wuwei likes most about Ye Hongxia is:

Ye Hongxia always called him her son, but she did not ask Ye Wuyi to be "filial" to her as a mother.

If she has a request, she will mention it. If Ye Wuwei doesn't listen, she won't be unhappy and will just pretend that she never said it.

But Ye Wuwei thought: at the critical moment, Ye Hongxia might just grab Ye Wuwei's neck and start beating him.

After getting off their horses, the two men found the only "inn" here to stay.

To call it an inn is really an exaggeration.

In fact, it is just a rickety two-story wooden building.

The innkeeper and cook is the father of the family, the inn waiter is the son of the family, and the inn cashier and handyman is the mother of the family.

Ye Wuwei looked at the house that creaked every time he took a step and asked Ye Hongxia:

"Are you going to stay here tonight?"

When the innkeeper heard Ye Wuwei's words, he hurriedly said, "There are rooms on the second floor."

Also the second floor!

If your house collapses in the middle of the night, who should you ask for compensation?

Will you blame yourself for the house collapsing when you sleep on it and ask yourself to pay for it?

Ye Hongxia ignored Ye Wuwei's thoughts and said to the waiter after sitting down on the stool at the dining table:

"Prepare a table of fine wine and delicious food. Also prepare six water bags for us, fill them with water, and twenty pounds of dried beef."

After saying that, he threw a golden leaf to the guy.

This was the first time Ye Hongxia paid, and it was also the first time Ye Wuwei saw the golden leaves. For a moment, he thought he had traveled into Gu Long's martial arts world.

The waiter took the golden leaf and looked at it: "Sir, what is this?"

"gold."

"Gold?"

The man hesitated and looked at it for a while: "Is it really gold?"

Ye Wuwei took out a silver ingot from his pocket and threw it to the waiter, "Here you go."

The waiter happily took the silver and put the gold leaves on the dining table.

After the waiter went down to prepare the meal, Ye Wuwei asked, "Why did you think of beating gold into the shape of leaves?"

Ye Hongxia glanced at the golden leaves on the dining table with disdain: "Do you think it's good?"

"No, it's just the first time I've seen someone beat gold into leaves."

"How can I have the time to think about these things? This is all given by Master.

I'm covered in these golden leaves, and I've made a lot of jokes like today."

"You still have a master?"

"Of course, otherwise how did I acquire such advanced martial arts skills?"

Ye Wuwei touched his nose, as if he had asked a stupid question.

Originally, Ye Wuwei wanted to ask who Ye Hongxia's master was. Ye Hongxia said to Ye Wuwei seriously:

"If you still want to pursue a military career, learn some martial arts from me. Otherwise, with your mediocre skills, you'll be dead in a few moves on the battlefield."

Ye Wuwei knew that what Ye Hongxia said was right.

His fighting skills were suitable for close combat, which was not advantageous in ancient battlefields because he did not have spears or swords. In real battles, he was still no match for Yao Guangzhi.

But what Ye Hongxia said was too harsh, so Ye Wuwei replied:

"Let's talk about it after we get back to Chamdo."

"Don't worry, I'm here to make sure you don't die."

Ye Wuwei: Just one sentence has killed the conversation again!

At this time, the waiter came up with wine and food.

"Sir, are you going to go deep into the desert?"

Ye Wuwei smiled and asked, "Why do you say that?"

“Those who settle down here are either heading to Chunyu Prefecture or to the depths of Mo Nan.

Those heading to Chunyu Prefecture will take the official road, so there's no need to prepare so much food."

"Is there no shortcut for people going to Chunyu Mansion?"

"Sir, you're joking. Who would take a shortcut to Chunyu Mansion? That's no different from committing suicide."

Ye Wuwei became interested: "What do you mean?"

“If you take the official road to Chunyu Prefecture, there are post houses or inns along the way, so food and accommodation are not a problem along the way, and your safety is guaranteed.

But if we take a shortcut, we have to go through the Ghost Forest. Nine out of ten people who enter the Ghost Forest will never get out. Who would take a shortcut?"

After the guys left, Ye Wuwei asked Ye Hongxia, "What's going on in the Ghost Forest?"

“Ghost Forest is a nickname given by the common people, but it is actually a large dense forest.

The dense forest covers a large area, stretching from the south of the desert to the north, separating Chunyu Prefecture from the north.

The dense forest has dense trees, no roads, no sunlight, and no way to tell the direction. There are ferocious beasts, poisonous animals, poisonous flowers, poisonous weeds, and swamps.

Few people who enter the dense forest can survive, so the people call it the Ghost Forest.

In fact, the most dangerous place in the dense forest is not the section from here to Chunyu Prefecture, the most dangerous place is the section from the north to Chunyu Prefecture.

There are mountains in that section, the terrain is complex, ravines are crisscrossed, the forests are deep and dense, and there are more wild animals."

Ye Wuwei understood: "So it's a primeval forest."

Ye Hongxia pondered the word "primeval forest" for a while, and said to Ye Wuwei: "The description of primeval forest is very appropriate."

"Have you ever been into the Haunted Forest?"

“I’ve never been inside, but the Ye family has records of the dense forest.

The ancestors of the Ye family once organized people to enter the dense forest, but few survived, so they left a message to warn future generations about the dangers of the dense forest.

In modern times, the Amazon rainforest is recognized as the most dangerous virgin forest, but Ye Wuwei has never been there.

I have been to Ailao Mountain to carry out a mission.

Ailao Mountain is also a dangerous place. A comrade was killed during that mission. Ye Wuwei was also stung by a poisonous wasp.

If Ye Wuwei had not brought the antitoxin serum with him, he would have been half dead if he had been injected on the spot.

Thinking of this, Ye Wuwei began to feel a little afraid of the Ghost Forest.

Ye Wuwei asked Ye Hongxia again: "What did that fellow just say about going deep into the desert?"

"In the uninhabited northwest of the desert, there are precious medicinal herbs such as Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng. Deer and antelope also live there. Deer antlers and antelope horns are both rare medicinal herbs. Some people go there to collect them for a living."

"Isn't that dangerous too?"

"Of course. If there were no danger, everyone would go there."
