Chapter 497: Looking for Murong Xuanji
"What?" Lan Ling'er and Leng Fengran were surprised in unison, Lan Ling'er looked at Murong He in disbelief and asked him, "Did you say that the Nine Emperor Princes jumped off the cliff?" β
Murong He nodded, although he was a little sad, but he still tried his best to persuade Lan Ling'er: "Child, I know your intentions, but it will really be very dangerous for you to find a girl, good boy, you should listen to me and go back first, and when you find Xuanji, you will definitely be informed." β
Murong He persuaded while Lan Ling'er shook her head and wanted to refuse, Leng Fengran on the side saw that Lan Ling'er was so determined, so he walked up to her and said to Murong He very sincerely: "General, my name is Leng Fengran, and I am a good friend of the Nine Emperor Princesses, since Miss Lan is so anxious to find the Nine Emperor Princesses in person, I am willing to accompany her and her to find the Nine Emperor Princesses." β
"You!" Murong He's eyes looked at Leng Fengran sharply, he had heard Murong Xuanji mention the whole person before, and when he saw him today, he was really not an ordinary person.
"Uncle Mingren, don't worry, there is a cold wind to protect me, and I won't have much to do." Hearing that Leng Fengran was willing to accompany him to find Murong Xuanji, he said to Murong He excitedly.
"Okay then, but you have to be careful." Murong He saw Lan Ling'er's determined appearance, so he nodded in agreement, repeatedly told them to be careful, and watched them leave.
Leng Fengran and Lan Ling'er rode a long way on horseback, and saw that the road ahead was very rugged, and it became very difficult to even walk, let alone ride a horse. The two got up from their horses and rode down the winding path to the bottom of the cliff. And the sky slowly darkened.
The road was hard, and finally came down from the cliff Xuanyuan Hao was already exhausted, the whole person was weak to rest under a big tree, with countless small injuries on his body, and his stomach was hungry, the whole person could be said to be exhausted, but Xuanyuan Hao did not dare to delay the slightest time, as the time became later and later, Xuanyuan Hao was worried that when it was completely dark, it would become more difficult to find someone, while the sky was still a little bright, Xuanyuan Hao ignored the wounds on his body, and reluctantly went to find Murong Xuanji with his tired body.
Xuanyuan Hao walked a short distance and found the stream where Murong Xuanji came earlier, Xuanyuan Hao drank a few sips of water by the stream to moisten his throat, then washed his face to sober himself up, looked at the surrounding environment, and found that there was no trace left by Murong Xuanji, so he got up and left the stream.
When fighting in the past, Murong Xuanji had also been lost alone, so this time in this wilderness, Murong Xuanji was not too scared and nervous, trying to find an exit, but this is like a labyrinth, always going around it, just can't get out, and every time Murong Xuanji just left with his front foot, Xuanyuan Hao's back foot came, and the two always missed each other as if they were fated.
Murong Xilang and Murong Xijie each took a team of men and horses to look for Murong Xuanji, but after looking around for a long time, they couldn't find the entrance to the bottom of the cliff.
And on the side of Xuanyuan Mo's people, they also quickly met Murong Xilang.
"Let's hide first." Xuanyuan Mo's men and horses saw Murong Xilang's men and horses, and they all hid in the grass, and one of them, who seemed to be the little leader, whispered: "Don't act rashly for the time being, let's follow those people and see if they can find the entrance to the bottom of the cliff." β
Those who heard the order all obediently stayed among the bushes, watching what Murong Xilang said to the people who went to explore the way, the people who disappeared for a while and then came back in a hurry, whispering something in front of Murong Xilang, Murong Xilang quickly led the people and horses to continue to rush towards the path in front.
"They seem to have found an entrance to the bottom of the cliff." One of the men in the grass spoke.
"Hurry up and go back and tell the third prince, and the others and I will follow quietly." The little leader quickly made a judgment and ordered one person to find Xuanyuan Mo first, while the others quietly followed Murong Xilang and made marks along the way.
Xuanyuan Mo didn't know how long he had been outside, and when he went back, he happened to see that Chu Wanwan had woken up.
Chu Wanwan sat up from the bed, looking at the originally messy camp tent that had been cleaned up, knowing that Xuanyuan Mo must have ordered someone to do this, and his heart was happy.
"Awake? Are you hungry or not, do you want me to have someone prepare something to eat? Xuanyuan Mo asked with concern.
Chu Wanwan put on her shoes and walked to Xuanyuan Mo's side, looked at the dark sky outside, raised her head and looked at Xuanyuan Mo intently, nodded and said, "You don't say that I can't feel it, but as soon as you say this, I feel that my stomach has become empty and a little hungry." β
"Then I'll have someone prepare it at once." Xuanyuan Mo shouted, and gave a few words to the maid who came in, and only when the maid left and Xuanyuan Mo and Chu Wanwan were left in the camp again, did the two sit down face to face.
Chu Wanwan was still a little unaccustomed to Xuanyuan Mo's gentleness for a while, but she hid these words in her heart and didn't say them, but asked with a smile: "What did you do when I was sleeping?" β
"No, it's just a walk outside." Xuanyuan Mo said a little depressed, as if he was preoccupied.
"What's wrong? Did something happen? Chu Wanwan asked with concern: "If there is anything you can tell me, I will definitely help you." β
"The matter of the Nine Emperor Princessesβ" As soon as Xuanyuan Mo spoke, Chu Wanwan already understood what he was going to say.
"The Nine Emperor Princesses really didn't kill her." Before Xuanyuan Mo finished speaking, Chu Wanwan couldn't wait to deny it.
"Even if you deny that you pushed the Nine Emperor Princesses down, this matter won't just end like this." Xuanyuan Mo said with some embarrassment, "When the incident happened, there were so many people watching you push the Nine Emperor Princesses down, one of them was the Great Princess, you know that the Great Prince and I have always been at odds, and now that I know that you are the woman I am about to marry, they will definitely not let you go so easily." Xuanyuan Mo said deliberately.
Chu Wanwan didn't speak, Xuanyuan Mo's words reminded her that when she was on the edge of the cliff, the emperor opened his mouth to put himself and Qi Fangfei in prison, at that time, Qi Fangfei not only didn't say a word of exculpation for herself, but pushed everything on her head, thinking of this, Chu Wanwan knew that Qi Fangfei was a person who could not be trusted, and now the relationship between Xuanyuan Che and Xuanyuan Mo was so bad, I am afraid that this is not only a war between Xuanyuan Che and Xuanyuan Mo's man, but Qi Fangfei and himself are also involved.
"Afraid of what? I am the princess of Xiqi Kingdom, who dares to disrespect me, even your father and emperor have to think twice about what the consequences of curing me will be before they want to punish me. Chu Wanwan said arrogantly, without any hesitation and worry.
Seeing Chu Wanwan's arrogant appearance, Xuanyuan Mo sneered in his heart, although it made him feel very painful to marry Chu Wanwan, but when he thought that the whole person who married him back was not an ordinary person, she could help herself deal with many people, such as Xuanyuan Che, which had completely made up for her pain.
"Don't take it too lightly, the eldest prince and the eldest princess are not such easy people to mess with, besides, it was the Nine Emperor Princesses who had an accident, do you think the people from the Nine Emperors' Mansion and the people from the Great General's Mansion will let you go?" Xuanyuan Mo deliberately stimulated Chu Wanwan, "Even if you are the princess of the Western Qi Kingdom, how can you get out of it when people from all sides target you together and force your father to punish you." β
Chu Wanwan thought about it very seriously, and before she could think of the result, the food prepared by Xuanyuan Mo was sent in, interrupting her thoughts and making her temporarily give up such a troublesome thing.
"Come over and get something to eat." Xuanyuan Mo watched the maid put the food on the table one by one, and immediately beckoned Chu Wanwan to come over to eat.
"Do you want all this for me alone?" Chu Wanwan looked at the so many things to eat on the table, looked at Xuanyuan Mo with some surprise, saw him smile and nodded, and couldn't help but coquettishly say: "I can't eat so many things, I want you to eat with me." β
"Good!" Xuanyuan Mo nodded and agreed without thinking about it, sandwiched a piece of pastry and put it in the bowl in front of Chu Wanwan, and said thoughtfully: "The environment here is not as good as the capital, you will eat some of it, and when you return to Beijing, I will let people prepare more delicious food for you to eat." β
In the face of Xuanyuan Mo's sudden care, Chu Wanwan was surprised and began to slowly get used to it, enjoying Xuanyuan Mo's spoiling of him.
"As long as you're good to me, I don't care what you eat." Chu Wanwan looked at Xuanyuan Mo intently and said with a smile, the belief that he wanted to be the only person in Xuanyuan Mo's heart was even stronger.
Xuanyuan Mo looked at Chu Wanwan with a gentle smile, but he was sneering in his heart, sneering at Chu Wanwan's ignorance, and he would definitely abandon her without hesitation after he finished using her.
"Eat more!" Xuanyuan Mo smiled and kept helping Chu Wanwan with vegetables, and Chu Wanwan also accepted it happily.
"Master." Just when Xuanyuan Mo and Chu Wanwan were getting along warmly, the voice of his henchman came from outside the tent, and his voice was a little cold, making people feel no emotional ups and downs.
Xuanyuan Mo's expression paused for a moment, but it was only fleeting and quickly recovered to nothing, and continued to show an affectionate look, not responding to his henchman, let alone making any moves, as if he didn't hear his henchman's voice.
"What's wrong?" Chu Wanwan pretended not to see Xuanyuan Mo's strange appearance just now, and asked casually, "Is there something looking for you?" Do you want to go out and have a look, maybe there is something important for you. β
"It's okay!" Xuanyuan Mo smiled indifferently, continued to pick up vegetables for Chu Wanwan, and said with concern: "There is nothing more important than you now, if you don't want me to worry, just eat and rest obediently, heal the injuries on your body as soon as possible, and when you return to the capital, I will start my father's death, so that we can get married as soon as possible." β
Hearing Xuanyuan Mo mention getting married, Chu Wanwan smiled shyly, nodded and said, "Okay, everything is up to your arrangement." Chu Wanwan's rare shyness of her youngest daughter made Xuanyuan Mo feel a burst of contempt in his heart, and he felt that women were very hypocritical.
