The speculation in Yang Che's heart was not hidden, and it was all written on his face.

Lu Zhaoling saw his involuntary suspicions, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry...... I can't tell you who I am just yet......"

“…… It doesn't matter, it's me overthinking. Yang Che shook his head, no longer entangled in these superfluous conjectures, "Since you already have a plan, you can take a good rest today, and then there will be another fierce battle." ”

Lu Zhaoling nodded, still feeling sorry in his heart.

Yang Che was willing to risk her life to trust her and follow her, but she couldn't tell Yang Che her identity.

She is a runaway hostage, a princess who has lost her country, whether it is Anping or the Western Regions, there is no place for her now.

How can you tell others about such an identity? She's a big problem.

On the same day, Anping Palace.

The second prince, Bai Xi, had already left the imperial city yesterday and rushed to Huaizhou.

Li Zhu'er, who had always trembled when she saw the second prince, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, she was sitting with Bai Heng in the gazebo in the garden, eating snacks and chatting.

"Second prince, no, now I'm going to call Prince Ning, he's finally gone." Li Zhu'er breathed a long sigh of relief, "He is in the palace, I always feel that he wants to harm you, in the past two years, I have been scared when I think of him, and sometimes I have nightmares, and in my dreams he looks like he is showing his teeth and claws." Speaking of this, Li Zhuer still seemed a little apprehensive.

Bai Heng smiled.

"Are you laughing at me for being timid?" Li Zhuer asked Bai Heng.

"Nope." Bai Heng touched Li Zhu'er's head, "It's all my fault, let you follow me in fear like this." ”

Li Zhu'er hurriedly shook her head: "How can I blame you!" It's all that vicious Prince Ning...... By the way, you have recently started to help your father deal with government affairs, I don't know when your father will allow you to open a mansion and build teeth? It's really boring to stay in the palace for a long time, it's so hard to go out once, I kind of know why you and Zhao Ling slipped out of the palace in the first place...... When you open your house and build your teeth, what name will your father give you? And the Prince? Then I'm with the princess...... Sounds a little weird. ”

Li Zhu'er gushed endlessly, and began to imagine the days when she and Bai Heng moved out of the palace.

Bai Heng looked at her dotingly, smiled but did not speak, and fed her a snack in her mouth from time to time.

The two had a very peaceful day.

Li Zhu'er's heart was unprecedentedly light, as if the stone that had been weighing heavily on the bottom of her heart had finally been removed, and even the air in the palace became fresher.

"Ride with me tomorrow at the horse farm! By the way, take a look at the snow treading. I think Zhaoling. Li Zhu'er said to Bai Heng with joy.

"Okay." Bai Heng nodded meekly.

That night, the third prince suddenly died on the couch.

"Ah Heng ——!!" Li Zhuer seemed to be crazy, and her heart-rending sorrow resounded throughout the entire Yonghe Palace.

Until fainting.

Jugong was shocked.

The imperial physician knelt in front of the angry emperor and only said that the cause of death was an illness caused by overwork.

Enraged, the emperor dismissed the imperial physician and imprisoned him, and ordered a thorough investigation into the death of the three princes.

Soon after, Prince Ning, who had long been far away from Jingyang, received a flying pigeon message.

The matter has been done, and the dead soldiers left in the palace by Prince Ning have also committed suicide by taking poison.

-

The scout returned to Fu'an Township after some investigation, and it was already early in the morning.

The stronghold of the mountain bandits was in a hidden mountain, and the scouts searched for a long time according to the captive's description.

"This gang of bandits is very vigilant, and there are people patrolling outside at night, and the cottage is also very strong." Li Yu told Lu Zhaoling the news of the scout.

"How do you think we should attack?" Lu Zhaoling asked Li Yu.

Li Yu thought for a while and informed Lu Zhaoling of the general plan.

"Okay, then do as you say." Lu Zhaoling had no objection and agreed immediately.

"There are still many details to be arranged, give me another half day. This evening, we went into the mountains. ”

Lu Zhaoling nodded, ready to inform Yang Che.

Li Yu stopped her again, and asked hesitantly, "I see that Shen Gongzi is also here, is he going with us?" ”

He still remembered that when he was hunting in the autumn of that year, he had heard that this Shen Gongzi slapped a wild boar to death with one palm and saved the three princes and his party.

"Go together, but ...... He is not very convenient to shoot. Lu Zhaoling didn't know how to explain to Li Yu.

If Shen Fengjiu made a move, maybe he would be able to exterminate this group of mountain bandits alone. But a long time ago, Shen Lingyan and Shen Fengjiu had told her that their master was subject to special restrictions and could not participate too much in the disputes in the world, otherwise they would be punished by heaven, which was a counterbalance to the extraordinary power they possessed.

But what kind of boundary is "too much participation in the strife of the world", Lu Zhaoling is not clear. Maybe there are some things that Shen Fengjiu is too lazy to do, Lu Zhaoling often thinks so.

But she wouldn't force Shen Fengjiu to do anything.

It is her own dream to be a hero, and she must become strong on her own, instead of relying on Shen Fengjiu's strength willfully.

Li Yu still had many questions in his heart, such as why Shen Gongzi was with Princess Tongguang, but he refused to help. But when he saw Lu Zhaoling's embarrassed expression, he didn't ask any more questions.

Lu Zhaoling breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went to find Yang Che.

Late at night.

Lu Zhaoling and Yang Che led a small team of men and horses and quietly ambushed outside the stronghold.

The mountain bandits patrolling nearby had been silently cleared by them.

They stared patiently at the gates of the stronghold.

After a while, two black shadows quietly and silently scurried into the cottage from the high hillside.

Soon, the figures of the two people on the gate tower shook and fell at the same time.

Then the door of the cottage was forcefully pulled open from the inside.

At the same time as the gate opened, a dense rain of arrows shot into the cottage from the hillsides on both sides, and the bandits patrolling the cottage fell to the ground one after another, and Lu Zhaoling immediately led people to rush into the gate!

Chaotic screams and shouts of killing instantly sounded in the cottage.

Li Yu also led people to jump down the hillside.

The whole cottage woke up from its sleep.

Lu Zhaoling pulled out the soft sword from behind his back.

Li Yu looked at Lu Zhaoling in surprise while killing the enemy.

Her figure was graceful and turning, and she shuttled through the crowd with a soft sword in hand, and everywhere she went, a fluffy and gorgeous blood flower bloomed.

She looked cold and did not hesitate, taking someone's life like mowing grass.

Not only Li Yu, but Yang Che, who was following her, also felt awe-inspiring in his heart.

She is no longer the innocent child she was when she hunted in the autumn.

Now she will not panic, will not hesitate, will not retreat.

All those who stood in her way were cut open throats by her without mercy and fell at her feet.

She kept rushing forward.

The cottage is full of monsters who don't deserve to live, and at the center of the cottage is a bloodthirsty devil.

She will use the sword in her hand to slay the devil with her own hands.
