The lush trees rose from the ground, connected to form a forest, and stretched away without seeing the edge.

After a short walk, when there were still five or six miles away from the Black Tiger Forest, everyone looked up, and they could already see the dark and dark forest in front of them.

In Qiao Xuan's eyes, it was especially clear.

The towering ancient trees are extremely huge, and the black pressure is like the top of Mount Tai, giving people a strong sense of oppression. The surrounding temperature also seems to have dropped by a few degrees.

This is the Black Tiger Forest. The only way to get back to Daqin is to travel across dozens of miles.

It's only three o'clock in the afternoon, but no need to tell them, everyone has stopped consciously, and they will definitely not enter the forest today, so they will camp outside the forest for the night, and leave early tomorrow morning without stopping in the middle. , and strive to pass through the Black Tiger Forest in one breath.

In such a place, the environment is complex, the line of sight is not good, and in such a truly uninhabited wilderness within a radius of hundreds of miles, who knows if there will be any accidents?

Not to mention the fierce bandits and thieves roaming the grasslands, in case of encountering a powerful herd of beasts, it is enough to die.

That night, Qiao Xuan, Shao Yunyun, Sun Bai, Sun Qian, etc. did not sleep well.

The perfect place for this kind of ambush, if the Fourth Prince and the others really sent someone, they shouldn't miss this place.

As soon as the next day dawned, everyone got up, quickly and simply got food, packed the tent, and put it on the carriage neatly. Before the sun rose, they set off.

Sun Bai and Sun Qian sent five scouts to scout the way. A team of fifty guards led the way. More than one hundred guards were divided into the rear, and the rest of the guards accompanied them.

"No matter what happens, lady, don't get off the carriage, unless it's Ah also coming. Lady must remember my words!" Shao Yunyun held Qiao Xuan's hand as he was about to set off and instructed again and again.

Qiao Xuan smiled sweetly and nodded obediently.

As for whether or not to follow suit at that time, of course, it depends on the situation.

This section of the forest is extremely difficult to walk, because there are very few people coming and going on weekdays. Even the caravan between Daqin and Qingdi only goes back and forth once or twice a year from mid-spring to late summer. It grew extremely fast, and no one passed by for a while, and the road that was barely opened up has long been submerged in vegetation and vines.

There were quite a few carriages along with them. In addition to Qiao Xuan and others, most of them were consignment of various supplies.

And, everyone finally came to Qingdi, so it's impossible not to bring any souvenirs, right? In particular, some precious medicinal materials, gems and jades, furs, felt blankets, etc., which are unique here, have been bought, as well as some gifts from Qingdi to the emperor, some gifts to Shao Yunyun, etc. , a total of sixty carriages.

This is also the premise that Shao Yunyun expected this and issued an order to stipulate how many things each person is allowed to buy.

Otherwise, it would be hard to say twice as many.

After all, all kinds of ruby, sapphire, tourmaline, malachite, jade, turquoise, cat's eye, lapis lazuli, etc. here are really cheap, and the leather is even cheaper, and as long as these things are brought back to the capital, at least There are five to ten times the spread.

Even Qiao Xuan secretly bought many gems and hid them all in the space. She even bought several diamonds in excellent condition.
