Prologue The heart flows, and the mind hurts the mind Chapter 38 Keep your distance
[Shizome: I don't know why your attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees, I just lost my temper, I didn't expect you to react like this, so let's keep our distance. 】
Xi Ran looked at the figure who was immediately away from Gongzi, and then looked at Xue Man, who was still sitting in the hall and pondering, and decided to secretly follow Gongzi Li, maybe he could find Emperor Xuanlie and them!
As night fell, a dark purple figure walked in front, and another light figure followed, just one after the other, turning left and right, Xi Ran looked at an underground secret passage in the backyard of the mansion from Gongzi, and he got up and was about to walk in immediately, but he was suddenly grabbed by a hand, pulled back, lost his center of gravity, and bumped into a soft and familiar embrace.
Xiran reacted and shouted just as he was about to turn around, but he was shocked when he saw that the person who came was Xue Liyue, and swallowed back what he was about to say just now.
"You, why are you here?" Xiran was pulled aside by Xue Liyue to find a place where no one was safer, and finally couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"With your brain." Xue Liyue didn't look at Xi Ran, she kept staring at the secret passage just now, her tone was cold and she had nothing to say with a few words.
"Why don't you let me follow up, it's very likely that Emperor Xuanlie and they are inside." Shizome finally smoothed out, and she didn't want to get angry with this big ice cube, so she changed the topic and asked.
"If you just go in like that, you're not afraid of being a trap?"
Xue Liyue remembered that a few days ago, he followed the housekeeper into the secret passage because of curiosity, but he was led to the territory of the fierce beast, and he almost left his life behind, so now he has become very cautious and will not follow up so easily.
"What kind of trap can there be, you're too careful, aren't you? Didn't you say before that if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger? In case they are locked up ... "Xiran was puzzled by Xue Liyue's abnormality this time, when did the big ice cube become so cautious?
"In case they are really locked inside, it's up to you, if you find out, can you rescue them, or put yourself in again?" Xue Liyue interrupted Xi Ran's words and said solemnly along with her words. He was still worried about Shizome and didn't want her to take the risk.
"Hmph, I'm an orphan and have nothing to worry about, what am I afraid of, I'll leave my life behind. I said, Your Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, you are too lenient, I just want to save my friend. Xiran was a little angry when she was preached, and she didn't need Xue Liyue to care about it.
Xue Liyue was stunned by Xiran's words, especially His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, who sounded particularly harsh. He was about to reach out and help Shizome sort out his messy bangs, but then he hung in the air awkwardly because of Shizome's words, and he didn't know how to respond.
He suddenly had mixed feelings in his heart, it was he who had just said too much and hurt her, and he personally pushed her away, so it would be fine.
Xue Liyue paused for a few seconds, withdrew her hand, turned around, and left a sentence: "There are also my subordinates inside, I'll go to explore the road first, and you will answer outside." ”
After speaking, he walked towards the secret passage just now without looking back. Since you call me the Fifth Prince, let's keep our distance, which is good for you and for me.
Xi Ran watched Xue Liyue pick up the prince's shelf again, and suddenly felt strange, feeling a very high wall between the two, I don't know why she was a little sad, and disappointed, obviously she already regarded him as a good friend, why did it become like this now?
Maybe it's better to keep your distance as soon as possible, after all, we are not all the way, and there will be no intersection after all.
Secret passages
Xue Liyue saw that there was no one and quickly entered the secret passage that she had just walked into from her son, Xiran was still a little stunned outside, and then she faintly heard footsteps not far away, and immediately held her breath and quietly hid.
"Dadada"
The footsteps are getting closer and closer, and Shizome is already afraid to come out, ensuring that as long as she doesn't move in this position, no one should be able to notice her existence.
The man walked past Shizome, and the hem of his clothes swayed. Xi Ran's eyes suddenly widened, this person is Ligongzi!
She began to wonder, just now they had been paying attention to the secret passage and did not find out that Li Gongzi came out of there, could it be that there was another exit below?
Listening to the footsteps gradually moving away until it disappeared, Xi Ran just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but suddenly her nerves tensed, and the alarm bell sounded in her heart, so that her body that just wanted to move stopped instantly, no, he didn't leave!
At the last moment, with a cold wind swept in, a hand instantly pinched Shizome's neck accurately, and pulled it hard, directly pulling out Shizoran hiding in the bushes.
Xiran suddenly felt that it was difficult to breathe, her hands tightly grasped the hand to be opened, her legs fluttered back and forth in the air, she tried to open her eyes, and directly met the eyes of Ligongzi, which were a pair of blood-colored eyes, which made Xiran feel a little scared in her heart.
Li Gongzi looked at this person who had been sneaking around with him just now, and he was a little curious. He sensed the presence of Shizome when he came out of the hall, and just wanted to see what she wanted to do, but who knew that she didn't follow in, but hid here, so he had to pull her out and ask her clearly.
When Xiran felt that the air was getting thinner and thinner, she began to feel in her heart that she was going to be strangled to death so aggrieved, and she was really unwilling.
Suddenly, as soon as he let go of Gongzi's hand, Xiran was startled, and he fell to the ground without any preparation at all.
Xi Ran didn't care about the pain, held his chest, and breathed in a big gulp of fresh air to relieve the feeling of lack of oxygen, "Ahem, cough, cough... ”
"Who are you?" Li Gongzi looked at the woman in front of him and asked with some disgust.
"I, I am, I'm the doctor invited by the Snow Man to treat his eyes." After Shizome slowly came to his senses, he immediately made up a reason.
"Oh? Are you a doctor? So what are you sneaking around hiding here? Li Gongzi listened to Xi Ran's nonsense, and suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked with interest, he didn't believe that she was a doctor.
"I, I'm coming, I'm coming to find the right herbs. You see there are so many spiritual grasses here, I'm here to see if there's anything I want. ”
Xiran was a little caught off guard by the question, and finally got up slowly, and when he saw the spiritual grass garden not far away, he immediately began to make up nonsense, and his expression was very sincere.
Li Gongzi looked at the person who was making up nonsense with a serious face, felt bored, and said coldly: "Do you know that as long as you tell a lie, you need to tell a hundred more lies to get around." ”
Xiran saw that she was punctured so quickly, her face was a little unsightly, she observed the divorced son in front of her for a long time, and she couldn't feel the strength of the other party.
Now that she has been exposed, she has no choice but to confess: "Okay, I'm here to save people." ”
She is also a gamble, since she can't feel the strength of the other party, then either the other party is unfathomably powerful, or the other party just has no way to cultivate the power of the stars.
"Saving people? If I'm not mistaken, you're Shizome, the little follower of the Five Princes? Li Gongzi looked at the woman in front of him and replied heartily after being exposed, but he was a little satisfied, and said with a faint smile.
"I'm Shiozome, but I'm not a little henchman of Big Ice! You shouldn't be a snow man, right, what are you? Xiran felt uncomfortable again when she listened to Li Gongzi's words, when did she become Xue Liyue's follower?
"I guess you've eavesdropped on our conversation from beginning to end. The person you want to save is over there, if you want to save it, go quickly, otherwise there will be no chance. Li Gongzi didn't answer Shizome's words directly, but smiled and pointed in the direction of the secret passage with his chin, and kindly reminded Shizome.
"Hey, you?" Xi Ran was surprised, she was ready to fight, what is the situation now, let herself go to save people?
Before Xi Ran could ask, he had already called someone to come here, and then he looked at Xi Ran with an incredible face and said, "If you don't save people, those guards and Xue Man are coming, and you won't be able to save adults." ”
