Chapter 553: Night Walking
The mighty group of people had different hearts, and Baili Nayin, who was carried by the bamboo sedan chair, looked at the sky, and didn't know when he shook the fan, and a snow-white dragon robe was shining with dazzling starlight by the light spots between the branches and leaves.
"I heard that Miss Shen Er and General Cavalry are brothers and sisters who are pro-plum sweethearts, can't you complain that the relationship is so good? Pity my dead sister, I guess I'm still dead! ”
Shen Xiaoxia and Hu Qing, who were walking in front, did not look back, and they did not pretend to have heard.
The prince frowned, he naturally already knew about Baili Qingxiang, and he wouldn't care about that sister's death at all, but if this Shen Er girl and Hu Qing joined forces, it would indeed be a bit troublesome.
"I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is interested in Miss Shen, but unfortunately Miss Shen has a heart."
Bai Linayin didn't know what the purpose was, and her mouth kept talking all the way, even sarcastic and prickly, provoking everyone's emotions.
Of course, the prince's face at this time was not a little better, and he turned his head and glared at Baili Nayin viciously.
"When did the seventh brother become so keen on these gossips that he didn't have?"
"Haha! Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't mind, Seventh Brother, I just want to be bored along the way and relieve everyone's boredom. ”
The prince choked, but it was not easy to attack, after all, Baili Nayin also had a dragon vein map in his hand.
"It's okay if you want to make fun of me, but please don't make fun of me, I'll be upset. If I'm not happy, I don't want to make the people who make me unhappy happy. ”
Shen Xiaoxia, who was walking in front, turned around and stopped, and everyone stopped involuntarily at this time. The guards who were protecting the Seven Princes suddenly drew their weapons.
The atmosphere was tense for a while.
"What? Still want to use force? As soon as Shen Xiaoxia's voice fell, the ten clothed people who were standing beside her, who were always masked, suddenly showed their weapons.
Seeing this, the prince took a step back, and naturally he was happy to see it come to fruition, and this was the best time for the snipe and clam to compete for the benefit of the fisherman.
Hu Qing stood still with his arms crossed, obviously not planning to stop it, as for whether he would make a move? It's hard to say.
Barinain finally withdrew the face that had just been laughing and became serious. With a snap, the fan closed, sat on the bamboo sedan chair and straightened up, pursed his lips and looked at Shen Xiaoxia, and finally smiled again.
"Second Miss Shen is really temperamental, she is reckless, and she is offended."
Shen Xiaoxia nodded, accepting the apology of the Seventh Prince, and turned around and took a step. And the man in black who was following her also withdrew his weapon in an instant, and immediately followed her pace.
The prince shook his head regretfully, waved his hand, and continued to move forward.
Bairina retracted her smile, her eyes darkened, but she began to keep silent.
There was no time in the mountains, and the dense forest that covered the sky and the sun blocked most of the daylight, and before you knew it, it was already dark, and the nocturnal animals in the forest began to move again.
A bonfire crackled, although there were many people, but the whole camp was very quiet, Shen Xiaoxia and the prince and others were sitting around the campfire in the middle of the camp, studying the dragon vein map.
"Looking at the map, it should not be far from the dragon vein." The prince stared at the map without blinking, eager to immediately engrave every detail in the map in his brain.
"Looks like we're two days away."
Shen Xiaoxia glanced at the map and got up to leave. Leaving everyone, one of the black-clothed men who had been following her all the time spoke.
"Since we left the Watch Village, there have been two groups of people who have been following us."
Shen Xiaoxia nodded, but his eyes were always fixed on the campfire in the middle of the camp, the few people who were still studying the map.
"Do you know who they are?"
"A group of people from the Tang family, about forty people, all of them are dead soldiers, and they are good at martial arts. The two groups of people who came are unknown, but each of them is a master, about thirty people. ”
"Do they know each other's existence?"
"Probably not."
"Find a way to let them meet, it's up to them whether they move or not." Shen Xiaoxia's light flashed, and she suddenly smiled when she looked at the bonfire in the distance.
"In the next two days, you are all extra careful and let our people not make any moves for the time being."
"Yes."
In the dark night, the dense footsteps were silent and their fast speed forward, stepping on the thick fallen leaves and the withered branches, without making the slightest sound.
Suddenly, a shrill whistle in the middle of the night startled a flock of birds sleeping on the branches, and the sound of wings flapping in the air was especially loud in the quiet night.
The pace of progress suddenly stopped, and after a few seconds, the leader waved his hand, changed a direction, and continued to move forward at a rapid pace.
And in the other direction, the people who were walking at night were also frightened, and at the same time advanced towards the place where the whistle sounded.
At this time, everyone stood up in the camp and looked up at the night sky, through the branches and leaves, the starry sky was dotted, and the dark shadows of frightened birds could be faintly seen.
"What happened?"
"Looks like we're following the tail."
"What should I do?" The Seventh Prince looked at the crown prince, and the prince thought about it, but turned his gaze to Shen Xiaoxia.
Shen Xiaoxia seemed to have fallen asleep just now, with a blanket draped over her body, leaning on the body of a man in black.
"What does Miss Shen think she should do?"
Shen Xiaoxia rubbed his eyes, shook his neck, sighed, covered the blanket on his body, and closed his eyes.
"Cold salad, don't disturb my sleep."
As he spoke, he seemed to have entered a sleeping place, and his whole body shrunk into the quilt, revealing only a sweet sleeping face.
As royal children, they have never seen such a woman, those young and beautiful women are not all well-behaved and obedient when they see them, only this Shen Xiaoxia is simply an outlier.
"Haha, His Royal Highness the Prince, it seems that you are not very easy to speak!" The Seventh Prince felt that today's depression had finally disappeared.
The crown prince seemed to be used to it, his face did not change, he glanced at the seventh prince lightly, turned his head and ordered everyone to wait and see.
The two groups of people who had already met on the other side, after facing each other for two minutes, they didn't know who made the first move, and then they were out of control, and the sword was eyeless, and soon scared away a lot of birds and beasts in the forest.
When the red-eyed two groups didn't pay attention, a man in black quietly blended into the night, thinking that he had never appeared.
Leaning on the uncomfortable shoulder, Shen Xiaoxia slept very well this night, the sun had not risen in the early morning, the dew of the night hung all over her hair, and the bonfire on the side burned more and more after adding firewood, and soon dried her hair, and the faint aroma of porridge wafted into the tip of her nose.
Shen Xiaoxia finally couldn't help but open his eyes.
Glancing at the black-clothed man beside him who had maintained almost one posture all night, Shen Xiaoxia smiled slightly and stood up.
Seeing Shen Xiaoxia get up, the people she brought gathered around her. One of the men in black gave her a look, Shen Xiaoxia understood, it seemed that last night went very smoothly.
"Everyone is well fed, and we will set off in a moment."
"Yes."
