Chapter 470: The Battle of the Two Princes
Of course, Xuanyuan Che was not stupid, he naturally saw Xuanyuan Mo's defense of himself, and knew that it was a little unrealistic to make the emperor suspicious of Xuanyuan Mo just by a few words, so he wanted to find an opportunity for the emperor to meet Chu Wanwan.
Xuanyuan Che smiled and asked, "I don't know where this Chu Gongzi is now, I also want to meet him if I have the opportunity to see how the people who can talk to the third emperor brother are." β
"Good!" Xuanyuan Mo readily agreed, but changed the conversation and said, "But we may not meet now, she may be hunting somewhere in the woods now." β
"Really? Although my father said that this competition can be participated in by both men and women, but this competition is more or less because of the words of the Nine Emperor Princesses that my father made this decision, I thought it should be those female dependents who participated, but I didn't expect Prince Chu to also participate. β
When Xuanyuan Hao heard them say this, he already had a bottom in his heart, knowing that Chu Wanwan and Qi Fangfei had entered the woods, and immediately said to the entourage around him: "You send more people into the woods to find the Nine Emperor Princesses, protect her secretly, and don't let her have anything to do." β
"Yes!" The attendant immediately rode away.
"Ling'er, get on the horse, I just took a look, there shouldn't be any herbs we are looking for around here, let's ride to the front to find it." Murong Xuanji caught up with Qi Fangfei and Lan Ling'er, and pulled Lan Ling'er away from Qi Fangfei's side without a trace.
Lan Ling'er glanced at the horses behind her, then at Murong Xuanji's undeniable eyes, nodded, and rode on the horse at once.
Murong Xuanji also got on the horse and left with Lan Ling'er first, and when she and Qi Fangfei opened some distance, Murong Xuanji said to Lan Ling'er with a serious look: "Ling'er, do you remember what I said to you before?" I told you to stay by my side at all times and not leave. There is danger here at any time. β
"Is it dangerous?" Lan Ling'er looked around suspiciously, and said innocently: "There shouldn't be any danger here, and you are by my side to protect me." β
"Anyway, don't get too far away from me." Murong Xuanji couldn't explain it clearly to Lan Ling'er, worried that telling her would make her afraid, so she tried not to stay away from her.
Chu Wanwan and Qi Fangfei followed behind on horseback, Chu Wanwan quietly wanted to take out an arrow from her backpack and shoot it at Murong Xuanji, but as soon as she touched the arrow, she felt a gust of wind pass through her ears, and she found that Murong Xuanji had turned around at some point, and the arrow just now was shot by her, hitting a prey.
Chu Wanwan and Qi Fangfei were both startled, as long as the arrow deviated slightly from the direction, it was possible for that arrow to penetrate Chu Wanwan's ears, and even pass through Chu Wanwan's head.
"Xuanji, you are so amazing, how did you know that there was prey behind you, and you actually shot the prey all the time by surprise." Lan Ling'er saw that Murong Xuanji had shot another prey, and said excitedly, "It's like you have eyes in the back of your head, you can see it wherever there is prey." β
The speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, Qi Fangfei and Chu Wanwan always felt that Lan Ling'er's words were talking about themselves, and they couldn't help but feel a little angry in their hearts.
Although Murong Xuanji knew that Lan Ling'er had no intentions, but seeing the anger flashing in Qi Fangfei and Chu Wanwan's eyes, Murong Xuanji couldn't help but be vigilant, and glanced at Baoqing, who immediately rode a horse to collect the prey, and then protected Lan Ling'er on the other side.
"Ling'er, do you really think I'm amazing?" Murong Xuanji deliberately looked at Qi Fangfei and Chu Wanwan and said to Lan Ling'er: "I not only have eyes in front of me, but also eyes in the back of my head, it can be said that there are eyes all around, if there is prey, I can detect that the prey wants to pounce on me, but those beasts can't speak, otherwise you go and tell them not to provoke me easily, otherwise I can take their lives immediately with one arrow." β
When Lan Ling'er heard Murong Xuanji, she looked at her with admiration and said, "Xuanji, fortunately, you are talking about prey, otherwise I think if anyone offends you, there will definitely be no good end." But I'm glad I'm your friend, you'll never do this to me. β
Murong Xuanji sometimes felt that it was a very good thing for Lan Ling'er to be so naΓ―ve, at least she saw Qi Fangfei and Chu Wanwan because of Lan Ling'er's words, although there was anger, there was also a trace of jealousy.
"People don't offend me, I'm not annoying, this is my purpose as a man. So as long as you remain as simple as you are now, you will never be my enemy. Murong Xuanji smiled and said, "Let's go, let's continue walking." β
Murong Xuanji continued to walk forward with Lan Ling'er, while Baoqing followed behind the two to protect the two.
"You stop acting impulsively." After the three of them walked away, Qi Fangfei warned Chu Wanwan with a serious face, "Didn't you hear that Murong Xuanji's arrow just now was a warning to you?" Do you really want to be killed by her with one arrow? β
"She killed me with one arrow." Although Chu Wanwan was frightened just now, she still said stubbornly, "If she just moved me, I would never let her go." β
"Don't let her go? What can you do with her? Qi Fangfei sneered and looked at Chu Wanwan, "Don't forget who hit your face before?" You can't beat her, even if she finds out in secret, what do you say you can do with her? β
Chu Wanwan was speechless by Qi Fangfei's words, and wanted to open her mouth to refute several times but had nothing to say, so she could only stare at Qi Fangfei fiercely and said: "At least I won't be as timid and afraid as you, and I flatter her, which really makes me feel ashamed and hypocritical." β
"You call me a disgrace and hypocrisy?" Qi Fangfei didn't expect Chu Wanwan to say this about herself, she was a little angry, and asked Chu Wanwan with a sneer, "If it weren't for my sycophancy, if it wasn't for my hypocrisy, do you think you would still be able to follow her all the time?" Maybe you just got close to her and were driven away by the maid next to her. β
Although she knew that what Qi Fangfei said was the truth, Chu Wanwan was still a little unconvinced: "The purpose of going into the woods is to deal with her, if you just blindly follow her, then it is better not to come." At least I'm not going to do nothing like you. β
"Since you've done so much, how many times have you been successful?" A trace of displeasure and impatience flashed in Qi Fangfei's eyes, and she forcibly held back the anger in her heart and said calmly to Chu Wanwan: "It's not as simple as you think to deal with Murong Xuanji, let me tell you one more thing, just the maid next to her, her martial arts are higher than yours, otherwise why does Murong Xuanji take her with her every time she comes out, she is specifically responsible for protecting Murong Xuanji's safety." β
Chu Wanwan looked at Qi Fangfei with some disbelief, "It's just a maid, is it so powerful?" β
Qi Fangfei nodded affirmatively and replied, "Yes, she is so powerful, do you think Murong Xuanji will keep useless people by his side?" I didn't expect you to be more naΓ―ve than that Lan Ling'er, and that Lan Linger's father's status in the capital should not be underestimated, if something happens to her, whether you are a member of the three princes or not, you can't escape, let alone protect you, maybe the three princes will be implicated because of this. β
Hearing Qi Fangfei say such an oath, Chu Wanwan felt a little crisis, looked at Qi Fangfei a little helplessly and asked, "Then what do you say?" Did you really miss such a good opportunity? β
"The so-called good opportunity is something that needs to wait. Even if you kill Murong Xuanji now, there are still two witnesses to testify against you, do you think that killing the three of them can be regarded as solving all the problems? Qi Fangfei sternly questioned Chu Wanwan.
"Or else? The three of them have been together, so won't I never have a chance to do it? Chu Wanwan asked Qi Fangfei with some dissatisfaction, "Then I didn't come for nothing." β
"Why don't you have a little patience?" Qi Fangfei regretted it a little, feeling that the partner she chose was not enough to succeed and more than to lose, she took a deep breath hard, and waited until her emotions calmed down before she spoke: "I just said, the opportunity needs to wait." I'll find an opportunity to lure that Lan Ling'er and the maid away, and then you can find a way to deal with her after Murong Xuanji is left." β
Chu Wanwan thought about it for a while, and felt that Qi Fangfei's method was not bad, compared to dealing with three people, one person was always easy to deal with. Although he is not Murong Xuanji's opponent, he is not tired of cheating, as long as he uses a little means to deal with her, it is not impossible to teach her a lesson.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, I'll wait for you to lead the other two away before dealing with Murong Xuanji." Chu Wanwan nodded and said reassuringly to Qi Fangfei.
Qi Fangfei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard Chu Xuanji agree, if Chu Wanwan had been doing what she wanted, not only would she not be able to teach Murong Xuanji a lesson, but she might also be taught a lesson by Murong Xuanji, and even affect herself and Xuanyuan Che, who was not favored at that time, would make the emperor even more annoying, and if the emperor was convicted again, it would be impossible to steal chickens and rice.
"Let's hurry up. Although Murong Xuanji has always been wary of us, isn't it even more suspicious that we haven't shown up so late? Qi Fangfei glanced at Chu Wanwan, kicked the horse's belly and immediately followed, and Chu Wanwan also left with him in a displeased mood.
"Hey, the eldest princess and that prince of Chu seem to be still behind, should we wait for them?" Lan Ling'er looked back and found that Qi Fangfei and Chu Wanwan were gone, so she immediately stopped her horse and wanted to wait for them.
"Okay." Murong Xuanji knew that even if he didn't wait for those two, those two would still catch up soon, and he didn't want to ruin Lan Ling'er's interest, so he nodded in agreement.
Lan Ling'er got off the horse again, sat under a tree with the injured rabbit in her arms, gently stroked the rabbit with some distress, and spoke to the rabbit alone, "Little white rabbit, you must be in pain, Xuanyuan and I will definitely help you find herbs to heal your injuries." β
As Lan Ling'er was talking, she saw Murong Xuanji walking over with a few plants that looked like weeds in her hands, and did it by Lan Ling'er's side, hugged the little rabbit from her arms, and glanced at the little rabbit's injured leg, fortunately, it was only a little skin injury.
"Xuanji, have you found the herbs?" Lan Ling'er asked in some surprise when she saw Murong Xuanji chewing those plants in her mouth, and then smearing them on the injured leg of the little rabbit.
"Well, I happened to see herbs when I got off the horse just now, so I picked some." Murong Xuanji replied as she took out a clean white handkerchief from her cuff and carefully bandaged the little rabbit's wound.
Lan Ling'er saw the little rabbit obediently waiting in Murong Xuanji's arms, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that this little rabbit was cute, and couldn't help but reach out and touch its head to tease it.
