Chapter 117: The traitor by the prince's side

"I'm going to eat her." Chu Ye was unrelenting, Hao Ying'er's hand holding the cake was intercepted by him halfway again, and Zhao Yueling on the side looked at it with a sour taste, thinking that her cousin had never taken her to heart, could it be because of this wild girl outside?!

Which point of this wild girl is good to have her, her father is General Zhao who is loved by the emperor and the people, this lady of the cloud country, except for the princess in the palace, which one can compare to her dignity?

The strong self-esteem made Zhao Yueling feel terrible, she pinched the cake in her hand hard, and subconsciously kneaded it into a ball, while Hao Yinger was still secretly competing with Chu Ye on the cake.

As soon as they left the imperial capital, the prince's chariot was escorted out of the palace by a large group of escorts. At this moment, the prince was reclining on the pillow in the carriage, reading a note in his hand.

Today is an important day for him to go to Fuhuang Temple to pray for blessings, and it is just like this once a year, such a rare opportunity, some people in the palace will definitely wait for the opportunity to take his life. It's just that this year's itinerary is a little different from previous years, and he only knows about this matter with his personal attendant Tong Xiao, and everyone else hides it.

He glanced slightly at Tong Xiao who was accompanying him next to the carriage, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes, if it was really as the note said, it would really chill him.

After walking for about an hour from the Imperial Capital Daofuhuang Temple, the prince prayed for blessings, and all the civilians withdrew from the door and knelt down to greet them.

According to the usual practice, the three-day Fuhuang Temple where the prince prayed for blessings could not appear in the figure of other people, and this time it was the same. Only this time, the prince only stayed in the Fuhuang Temple for half a day, and then left through the back door of the temple, except for Tong Xiao, without a single soldier.

Behind the Fuhuang Temple, the naked eye can see a large expanse of earthy yellow stone forest in the distance, the stone forest is like a labyrinth, which is located in the territory of Yunguo and connects to a paradise. Just ten days ago, the crown prince inquired about his nurse, Mama Xiang, who had fled there after leaving the palace.

He squinted his eyes and looked at the stone forest carefully, as if asking casually, "Tong Xiao, do you remember when you entered the palace and became the personal attendant of the palace?" ”

Tong Xiao on the side replied: "Nine years ago, that time also happened to be the day when His Highness went to Fuhuang Temple to pray for blessings. ”

The prince smiled, "Bengong remembers that at that time, you were punched in front of the carriage of Bengong by someone else, and later I learned that you deliberately did not fight back, because those two villains had inadvertently saved you." ”

"Yes." Tong Xiao replied simply.

"Do you know why this palace chose you to serve this palace closely?" The prince asked.

"Your Highness has been, the slave is the same age as His Highness, and I feel that I am close to him," Tong Xiao said.

The crown prince nodded, "But more importantly, this palace thinks that you are affectionate and righteous." Even if the wicked are unintentionally gracious to you, you can repay the favor. ”

Tong Xiao's thin facial contours stiffened slightly, looked at the prince's back reflexively, and buried his head in the panic in his eyes one after another, but the prince suddenly stopped, and he knelt down with a weak leg in fright.

"I wish, it turns out that Your Highness has already noticed it."

When the prince saw him like this, he felt a faint pain in his heart, "Well, what is the reason, this palace doesn't want to know that you lied to me from the beginning." ”

"Not really!" Tong Xiao shook his head again and again, nervous in his heart, "No, Your Highness!" They used the slave's family as a threat, and the slave was ......"

At this point, Tong Xiao's eyes flashed with tears, not because of fear, but because of deep regret and remorse.

"Liu Guifei?" The prince groaned, as if asking Tong Xiao, and as if he was talking to himself.

Tong Xiao looked at the high prince, and the seeds of despair that had been bought in his heart continued to take root and sprout in his heart, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, Tong Xiaosheng is your person, death is your ghost, Tong Xiao will protect His Highness with death!" ”

The prince lowered his eyes and continued without saying a word.

Tong Xiao called "Your Highness", and quickly wiped away her tears and got up to follow.

Sure enough, the prince had just stepped into the stone forest when he was ambushed, and dozens of crossbow arrows were fired from all around, and he dodged a few times, and launched a fierce fight with the assassins.

This is the first time Tong Xiao has seen the prince show his martial arts, and he has always been in front of the prince when everything happens, although he has seen the prince practice swordsmanship on weekdays, but he has not practiced much. No wonder he knew that there was an ambush, but he still only took him alone. He felt that he was really too stupid, obviously he could have asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for help in advance, and after being coerced, he would tell the prince the truth, and he would not have entered the embarrassing situation he was in.

Now, apart from choosing to die, what qualifications does he have to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again?

Without thinking about it anymore, he drew his sword and rushed to the front of the prince, slashing hard!

Hundreds of miles east of the imperial capital, Chu Ye's camel cart stopped in front of a stretch of barren stone mountain, Hao Ying'er raised her hand to cover the sunlight above her head and went up, "It's hard to see even a single grass here, are you sure he will come here to collect medicine?" ”

As soon as her words were finished, Zhao Yueling followed Chu Ye out of the car, "Cousin, didn't you take me to the green?" Are we coming in the wrong direction? ”

Hao Ying'er glanced at her, and went to the country, except for the territory of Yunguo, at a glance, except for the sand or sand, if you want to go to the country, you have to go abroad. Extravagant!

"This is the northernmost part of the Cloud Country." Chu Ye said, "The map shows that to the north of the Yun Kingdom is a boundless mountain range, which is full of rare and exotic herbs, and it is a holy place for many pharmacists to yearn for collecting medicine. Zhaohe only set off half an hour before us, and it shouldn't be difficult to catch up with him. ”

"Summoning? Who? The second monk Zhao Yueling on the side was confused, "Cousin, we ......"

Before the words were finished, Yu Jing pointed to the shadow on the right who was walking back leisurely and said, "That should be the camel that summoned him." ”

Hao Ying'er glanced in the direction he pointed, and then heard Chu Ye say: "Yu Jing, protect Yueling here, if we haven't come out before dark, you will take her back first." ”

As soon as Yu Jing was about to answer, Zhao Yueling immediately said: "No, since Yueling was brought out by her cousin, naturally wherever her cousin goes, Yueling will go." Yueling won't go back! ”

"The terrain in the mountains is steep, there is no shortage of poisonous snakes and beasts, it is too dangerous for you to follow." Chu Ye said.

As soon as she heard this, Zhao Yueling's cheeks rose shyly, "Cousin, is this concerned about Yueling?" With her cousin's protection, Yueling is not afraid. ”

Hao Ying'er on the side felt that she was getting motion sickness, suppressed the churning in her stomach, rolled her eyes secretly, lifted her skirt and followed the road that others had walked.

"Ying'er!" Seeing this, Chu Ye followed.

Crossing a short stone mountain in front of her, Hao Ying'er looked at the vast emerald in front of her, her eyes were full of surprise, it turned out that it was really as Chu Ye said, there was no hole in the back.

She walked into the dense jungle and said, "I don't know which direction the summons will go, will we be too blind to look for it like this?" ”

"So we'll have to look for it separately." Chu Ye looked at Yu Jing, "You take Yueling to the right, and Ying'er and I go to the left." ”

"Yes!"
