Chapter 296: The Sea of Rhododendrons
It has been a day and a night since Xiao Jingcong came out to track down Yan Zixi's whereabouts, but she still found nothing.
In the past, when Yan Zixi was arrested, she would wittily leave some marks to remind herself, but this time it was different. Xiao Jingcong searched almost all the areas within a radius of dozens of miles, but found no clues.
Nothing other than a few footprints found next to the pool at the beginning.
But just by relying on these footprints, how could Xiao Jingcong find out Yan Zixi's whereabouts. Not to mention that the footprints have completely disappeared in the mountains and forests.
The current Xiao Jingcong really has no clue at all, like a headless fly stumbling around.
"Xi'er, where did you get caught? Why, why can't we find any clues? ”
Xiao Jingcong flew down to the branch of a big tree again, probing the movement below, and suddenly heard something behind him, Xiao Jingcong immediately became vigilant, pulled out the saber in his hand, turned around and shouted.
"What people, come out!"
As soon as the words fell, a black shadow slowly fell on the branch, looking at Xiao Jingcong in front of him, he asked with some surprise and excitement: "Xiao Jingcong, it's really you, are you okay?" ”
Xiao Jingcong raised her head, glanced at the woman in the black night suit, and asked with a little surprise, "Is it you?" Su Xuerou? ”
"I really didn't expect that after so long, Lord Xiao still remembers me, a weak woman, it's really an honor for a little woman!"
It turned out that the woman in the night clothes was none other than Dugu Xuerou, the eldest princess of Daliang who was following Xiao Jingcong. Xiao Jingcong didn't know her identity as the eldest princess of Daliang, so she still called her the previous Su Xuerou.
"Su Xuerou, why are you here? Are you following this king? Xiao Jingcong immediately became cautious, and her gaze at Dugu Xuerou was a little more hostile.
Since the last time Dugu Xuerou caught Yan Zixi, Xiao Jingcong has never had a good impression of this woman, thinking that she had returned to Beiliang, but she didn't expect to see him here again.
Facing Xiao Jingcong's questioning, Dugu Xuerou hooked the corners of her lips and replied with a smile: "Lord Xiao, seeing that you are so nervous, you must be tracking Princess Xiao's whereabouts, right?" Dugu Xuerou deliberately said tentatively, the purpose was to attract Xiao Jingcong's attention.
Sure enough, when Xiao Jingcong heard this, she immediately flashed to Dugu Xuerou's side, stretched out her hand and grabbed her throat, and asked with a cold gaze: "Say, did you capture Xi'er?!" ”
"Prince Xiao spares his life...... Princess Xiao wasn't caught by me......" Dugu Xuerou was caught off guard and struggled to beg Xiao Jingcong for mercy.
"Hmph, you don't dare!" Xiao Jingcong let go of her hand, turned around and was about to leave here, but was stopped by Dugu Xuerou from behind.
"Ahem...... cough cough cough cough ...... Lord Xiao, don't you want to know the whereabouts of Princess Xiao? ”
Xiao Jingcong's body shook violently when he heard this, he turned his head, and couldn't wait to ask, "Do you know Xi'er's whereabouts?" Say it! ”
Dugu Xuerou pretended to be weak and weak, and cried there: "I...... I was just scared by you, and now ...... I can't remember it in my head now......"
Xiao Jingcong didn't eat him, "Su Xuerou, don't pretend, what kind of person you are, this king knows very well." You can catch up with me in such a short period of time, it is enough to show that you are good at kung fu, and you deliberately didn't resist just now just to make a scene, right? ”
"Oh, Lord Xiao, then you really misunderstood the little girl, the little woman just knows a little kung fu to defend herself, how can she be compared with the famous peerless general Xiao Wangye?" Dugu Xuerou's eyes were glowing, and she looked at Xiao Jingcong with a smile and explained, "Lord Xiao, I know that you have always regarded your Princess Xiao as a treasure in your palm, and now that her whereabouts are unknown, you must have been anxious for a long time, right?" ”
"If you have something to say, if you know Xi'er's whereabouts, tell me quickly, and this king will definitely have a heavy reward!" Xiao Jingcong urged impatiently, saying a word to such a woman made him feel uncomfortable.
When Dugu Xuerou heard this, she quickly pounced, hugged Xiao Jingcong's arm with both hands, her eyes bent into a crescent moon, and asked with a smile: "Lord Xiao, what you said is true?" If I really helped you find Princess Xiao, how would you reward me? ”
Xiao Jingcong shook off Dugu Xuerou's hand, turned her back, and replied with a serious face: "Whatever you want, this king will do it!" ”
"Oh, really?" Dugu Xuerou's eyes rolled slightly, as if she had thought of something, so she lightly opened her lips and said to Xiao Jingcong: "Then if I want you to marry you, will you agree?" ”
"What?!" Xiao Jingcong couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard this, he never thought that this Dugu Xuerou would make such a request.
Xiao Jingcong turned around, looked at the woman in front of her in disbelief, and asked coldly: "Su Xuerou, you are a person from Daliang, how could I, as the prince of Xiao Kingdom, marry you?" Don't think about it, I will never agree to this. ”600
"Are you alienating me just because I am a woman from Liang Kingdom?" Dugu Xuerou's eyes flashed with tears, she grabbed the corner of Xiao Jingcong's clothes again, and said there with a little crying: "Xiao Jingcong, if you are really willing to marry me, I can give up the identity of Liang Guo for you, and I will never have any contact with Liang Guo from now on." Even...... Even I'm willing to share you with Sister Zixi, the side room I willingly made! ”
"Enough!" Without waiting for Dugu Xuerou to finish speaking, Xiao Jingcong directly stopped her, "I have already said that I will only love Yan Zixi as a woman in this life!" Whether you are from Liang or Xiao, this king will not change his original intention, and it is impossible for me to marry you. If you don't want to say Xi'er's whereabouts, even if this king finds the ends of the earth, he will find him! ”
Seeing this, Dugu Xuerou forcibly held back the tears in her eyes and took a deep breath, "Xiao Jingcong, borrow a token from you." ”
Xiao Jingcong kept a calm face and stared at Lonely Xue Rou in confusion.
"Don't get me wrong, I want to show the token to Princess Xiao, so that she will believe me and run away with me."
"Why don't you just tell me Xi'er's whereabouts, I'll go and save him myself!"
"Xiao Jingcong, do you really think you are invincible in the world? The place where Princess Xiao was held was heavily guarded and trapped, and no one but me could successfully rescue her. If you don't believe it, then I won't force it! Lonely Snowsoft's tone hardened.
Xiao Jingcong hesitated for a moment, although she still didn't fully trust this Dugu Xuerou, but she was really worried about Yan Zixi's safety, and finally took off the jade pendant she carried with her from her waist and handed it over, "Xi'er will believe it when she sees this jade pendant." ”
Saying that, Xiao Jingcong shook off Dugu Xuerou, slammed her feet into the branches, her body rose into the air, and flew into the depths of the dark forest again......
"Xiao Jingcong, Xiao Jingcong!" Dugu Xuerou cried and screamed in the back, but Xiao Jingcong didn't look back from beginning to end, "Xiao Jingcong, you will regret it!" ”
Dugu Xuerou gritted her teeth violently, put away the jade pendant, and got up and flew in the direction of Baiyue City.
……
Deep in the dense forests of northern Xinjiang, the courtyard of the prince's mansion in Yuanxia.
Today is the third day that Yan Zixi has been brought here, and Xiao Jingcong still hasn't appeared. Yan Zixi began to be a little upset, and she didn't know if Xiao Jingcong couldn't find herself, or if she didn't come out to find herself at all. In the past, Xiao Jingcong would never let herself stay outside alone for so long, but now...... Right now......
Although Yan Zixi can also understand Xiao Jingcong's current situation, as the commander of the Xiao army, he commands the soldiers of the three armies, and he needs to be responsible for the northern Xinjiang and the people of Daxiao, so he will delay to save himself......
When Yan Zixi was worried, there was a knock on the door, and then Li Yuanxiao's voice came in.
"Is Princess Xiao awake, can I come in?"
"Enter...... Come in......" Yan Zixi combed her hair casually, and then agreed to Li Yuanxiao to enter the house.
The door was pushed open, and Li Yuanxiao walked in with a bouquet of glamorous flowers that Yan Zixi had never seen before, "This is my Yuanxia specialty seven-star peony flower, for you!" ”
Yan Zixi lowered her eyebrows, but saw that there were seven petals of different colors on one of the flowers of the seven-star peony, which really opened Yan Zixi's eyes, and she couldn't even explain it with science, except for the shock, she was intoxicated by the beauty of this flower.
"Do you like it?" Seeing Yan Zixi's lovely appearance intoxicated, Li Yuanxiao couldn't help but ask softly.
"Uh-huh! I love it, thank you, Your Highness the Prince! Yan Zixi nodded vigorously, and finally a smile appeared on her face.
Seeing this, Li Yuanxiao asked again, "Is Princess Xiao still used to living in this courtyard?" ”
"It's okay, I just haven't been out for a long time, and I'm about to suffocate to death every day when I stay here." Yan Zixi carefully put the seven-star peony flower into the vase and put it aside, and couldn't help frowning and complaining.
Li Yuanxiao listened, was slightly silent for a moment, and then said, "Princess Xiao wants to go out for a walk?" ”
"Well, I just want to go out for a walk, don't worry, I won't run away......"
"Understood, you come with me." Li Yuanxiao said and turned around and walked out.
Yan Zixi didn't understand what Li Yuanxiao meant, but out of curiosity, she still didn't think much about it, and honestly followed Li Yuanxiao out of the door together. After all, if Li Yuanxiao really wanted to do something to himself, he should have done it a long time ago, and he didn't have to wait until now, and he didn't have to go to such great lengths.
She wanted to see what Li Yuanxiao wanted to do......
