"Your Highness, where exactly are we going?" Yun Wanwan lifted her skirt and stepped over a patch of grass, her voice sounding a little tired.
After she promised Rong Chengxuan last time, who would have thought that she didn't even enter the palace, but got on the carriage and came here directly.
Rong Chengxuan was talking about finding someone, and she thought that this would be a good opportunity for Rong Chengxuan to owe her a favor, so she agreed.
But she didn't know about this before, so she wore the clothes of the eldest daughter of the general's mansion, with the hem deliberately extended. This dress was really a bit awkward and it was a bit inconvenient to walk. What's more, the road was rugged and she couldn't take a carriage.
Rong Chengxuan glanced back at her, but had no intention of helping her. Instead, he stopped and turned to talk to Yun Wanwan, "I'm going to look for someone."
"I know that. You told me before." Yun Wanwan was a little annoyed by the dress, so she tore off the long hem. This way, she could finally walk much better.
She looked at Rong Chengxuan and walked quickly to his side. "What I mean is, where should we go to find someone, and how long will it take?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Rong Chengxuan stopped, stretched out his slender fingers, and pointed at the green bamboo beside him, "We're here."
Yun Wanwan looked around and immediately frowned. This was still the green bamboo forest they had entered, but there were some differences. The green bamboos seemed to come alive. "Formation?"
Rong Chengxuan looked at Yun Wanwan with some appreciation. He could tell at a glance that the green bamboo forest was a formation. It seemed that he had not found the wrong person.
"Yes, I would like you to break this formation."
Yun Wanwan raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything. She walked forward and deduced for a moment before laughing. "Interesting."
"What?" Rong Chengxuan walked up to her.
"I think this formation is interesting," Yun Wanwan casually picked up a fallen bamboo stick and drew the Bagua formation on the ground. "Logically, there should be three gates to break the formation: opening, resting, and giving birth. However, this formation only has one gate of birth, and the others are gates of death. If you take the wrong one, you will be doomed. It's really difficult..."
Rong Chengxuan pursed his lips and glanced at the formation in the bamboo forest. "Can't it be broken? It seems that I have made it too difficult for you."
"What a joke," Yun Wanwan snorted coldly. "How could I not be able to break this formation? It's just that I'm working for His Highness for nothing, with no reward at all. I really have no motivation..."
Rong Chengxuan understood what she meant, "Just break this formation and tell me what you want."
Seeing Rong Chengxuan agree without a second thought, Yun Wanwan immediately held up five fingers and said, "Then I won't ask for much. Your Highness, please give me fifty taels of gold as a deposit."
Rong Chengxuan chuckled. Yun Wanwan's natural demeanor was quite different from those noble ladies in the capital. He couldn't help but find her a little cute and paid without hesitation.
"Now that the money has been given, let's do our work seriously."
After Yun Wanwan accepted the money, she said, "However, Your Highness, I don't understand. Your skills are not much worse than mine. Why don't you do it yourself instead of wasting money?"
Rong Chengxuan raised his eyelids and glanced at Yun Wanwan, his tone rarely tinged with sarcasm, "You also know that this is a waste of money?"
This clearly meant that Yun Wanwan was taking advantage of the situation and asked for fifty taels of gold as a deposit.
Yun Wanwan choked and stuck out her tongue. "Your Highness, why didn't you answer the first half of my question?"
"I naturally have my own difficulties. Instead of taking the time to talk to me, you might as well break this formation first. Then you can get whatever you want." Rong Chengxuan couldn't help but raise his hand and nodded Yun Wanwan's head.
"Alright," Yun Wanwan pushed Rong Chengxuan away. "Your Highness, please stand back a bit. Just wait and see. Since I've received the money, I'll naturally do my job well."
She took out the deduction materials. After a moment, Yun Wanwan let out a long sigh and wiped the sweat from her forehead. "Your Highness, please follow me."
Rong Chengxuan followed Yun Wanwan over, and Yun Wanwan took the opportunity to say, "Your Highness really knows how to choose a location. He chose such an inconspicuous place, which made me search so hard that I finally figured out the location of the birth gate..."
Rong Chengxuan glanced at her and said, "When I return to the palace, I will double the reward."
Yun Wanwan immediately smiled and stopped talking.
As long as you have money, everything is easy to talk about.
This green bamboo forest is really huge. If an ordinary person comes in, he will be stuck in this formation. No matter how he moves, he will be stuck in a maze and can't find a way out.
Only people like them who break the formation with a purpose would risk entering the gate of death by mistake.
But Yun Wanwan herself couldn't say for sure. After all, she rarely saw this kind of formation. Basically, no one would use such a vicious formation. Therefore, she was very cautious when calculating, for fear that she would accidentally let Rong Chengxuan enter the door of death.
Now she and Rong Chengxuan are grasshoppers tied to the same rope. If Rong Chengxuan is in danger, she will also be in danger.
"Here?" Rong Chengxuan frowned as he looked at the unremarkable road ahead.
Yun Wanwan shook her head. "I've already broken the formation and the deception. The way out is here."
The place she pointed to was a wide avenue.
Logically speaking, the life gate would be a very inconspicuous place, or look very dangerous, the purpose of which is to discourage those who want to break the formation and make them doubt their own abilities.
However, the person who set up this formation was very smart. He knew that anyone who dared to break this formation must be extremely confident in himself, so he deliberately placed the exit on a wide road.
The reason why the life gate suddenly becomes so "like" a life gate is also to prevent people from going forward.
After all, everyone has become accustomed to the dangerous appearance of the life gate, and has never thought that the life gate can also look very safe.
Rong Chengxuan hesitated for a moment, then walked over with Yun Wanwan.
However, just as the two of them walked in, Yun Wanwan suddenly stopped and said, "That's not right."
It was too late. The bamboo forest on the originally wide road suddenly moved, and the wide road where the two were standing was directly shrunken into the inconspicuous path before.
Yun Wanwan frowned and took a step back. "It's too late. This is a living formation. The gate of life has become the gate of death."
Rong Chengxuan drew the sword from his waist and said with a smile, "It seems that Miss Yun owes me a favor this time."
Yun Wanwan, constantly paying attention to the movements around her, immediately said upon hearing this, "Your Highness, you are joking. If Your Highness had not asked me to come here, this would not have happened."
She really didn't expect that this already strange formation was actually a living formation.
Just as she was looking for a way to break the formation, a sound of breaking air suddenly came from behind her.
