Chapter 5
She originally wanted to follow Wei Gongzi, but in a blink of an eye, the two disappeared, and she didn't have Yi Jiu's help, so she had to pout and ride herself.
Fortunately, the scenery in the mountains is good, and on the way, Xu Mianmian also saw a gray little white rabbit, and suddenly forgot the frustration of not finding Wei Xiao, and chased after him with great interest.
The little rabbit looked fat, but it jumped up faster than Xu Mianmian's pony, and the fluffy figure circled around the forest a few times, and Xu Mianmian couldn't find the rabbit's shadow.
Looking behind him, where do you remember the way you came, Xu Mianmian panicked at this time, turned the horse's head and walked back, I don't know if it was in the wrong direction or for some reason, I didn't see anyone along the way.
Fortunately, the sky was still bright, Xu Mianmian suppressed the panic in her heart, comforted the pony while comforting herself, and walked all the way, and finally saw the figure.
"What kind of guy are you?" Xu Mianmian cheered up and asked.
The two looked at each other and exchanged glances with each other, Xu Mianmian sensed that something was wrong, and pulled the pony back a step.
The two saluted, "Your Highness the Princess." ”
Xu Mianmian nodded, "Who is your master?" ”
One of them smiled, as if he was the little guy who had talked to Shi Haoyan before, "Princess, the small one is from Shi Langzhong's house, you can make the little one easy to find, Shi Langzhong is very worried about you." ”
Hearing that it was Shi Haoyan's house, Xu Mianmian relaxed a lot in her heart, handed over the horse rope to the little girl, rubbed her wrist, and advised, "Go back first." ”
"Eh, princess, don't worry." The black-clad guy glanced at the other man, who nodded, turned and walked in the other direction.
Xu Mianmian wondered: "What is he going to do?" ”
The little guy was happy, "The master still has something to do for him, so the little one will take you back first." ”
Seeing this person smiling, Xu Mianmian suppressed the inexplicable uneasiness in her heart, but her eyes consciously paid attention to the situation nearby.
"How much longer?"
"Soon, soon."
The little guy in black didn't reply, Xu Mianmian couldn't see his expression clearly, but he heard the impatience in his tone, and Xu Mianmian's heart suddenly tensed.
The two walked for a long time, and the surrounding forests became more and more dense, Xu Mianmian clenched his hands tightly, looked at the little guy who led the way in front of him, and then looked at the dusk that had already shown the setting sun, and gritted his teeth and wrapped the willow branch that had been broken before around the neck of the little guy.
Maybe it was because she sat taller on the horse, but this action was successful in one fell swoop, and the little guy was defenseless and was strangled by her neck, and her body was planted backwards before she reacted.
Xu Mianmian moved very quickly and tied the willow branch around the horse rope, jumped off the horse while the man was untying the willow branch, slapped the horse's buttocks with his right hand, and the pony neighed and ran up, and the little guy who had not untied the rope was taken out in an instant.
Xu Mianmian's fingers trembled, and she ran in the opposite direction without looking back, she didn't dare to walk the way she came, for fear of being chased back, so she had to remember the direction and go farther away.
I don't know how long she ran, the surrounding forests became denser and denser, the sun in the sky disappeared, only a few fiery red clouds hung in the sky, and the vines that came from nowhere under her feet tripped her, Xu Mianmian's whole person threw herself on the ground, and there was a cone pain in her palms and knees, and Xu Mianmian's tears fell all at once.
She didn't dare to stop, wiped her tears with the back of her clean hand, and continued to run forward.
Finally, there were no red clouds in the sky.
"Ijiu ......"
Xu Mianmian hugged her knees and shrunk in a tree hole, crying and whispering Yi Jiu's name, "When will you come back, I'm so scared." ”
There wasn't a trace of sound in my head, just the rustle of something around me.
Xu Mianmian didn't dare to cry, and her shoulders trembled.
There seemed to be some voices in the distance, Xu Mianmian was afraid that it was the little guy's person, so she didn't dare to go out, the voices of those people were getting closer and closer, Xu Mianmian's body stiffened, and she heard the voice of the little guy.
"The princess said that she didn't go back, she should still be in the woods, you look carefully, it's a great achievement to find it!"
Xu Mianmian covered her mouth, she didn't dare to come out, ...... princess? Xu Mianmian's eyes widened violently, Princess Ruiying of Beidi!?
The people continued to look forward, and one of them mocked: "Shut up Wang Gui, if it weren't for you, would we come here at night to find someone?" Xu Yang has already lost his hand over there, Xu Mianmian has missed it again here, you see how the princess punishes you. ”
It turned out that the little guy was called Wang Gui, Xu Yang...... Is the prince also in distress?
She didn't dare to move, but a cold thing was wrapped around her feet at this time, Xu Mianmian bit her lip and looked down, and saw a thin snake with black skin around it.
"Ahh Xu Mianmian hurriedly covered her mouth, but she was still heard by those people.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, Xu Mianmian was terrified to the extreme, and closed her eyes in despair.
A cold voice sounded at this moment, "What are you doing here?" ”
Wei...... Wei Gongzi ...... It's Wei Gongzi.
Xu Mianmian's tears flowed.
The group of people stopped coming this way, bent down and said, "I've seen Wei Xiu, and the little one came to look for the princess on the order of Shi Langzhong." ”
"Oh?" Wei Xiao laughed meaninglessly, "Then get out, the official just came back from the front, and there is no princess." ”
"This ......" Wang Gui and the others glanced at it unwillingly, but remembering that this person was the main person, they didn't say anything and left neatly.
The surroundings were quiet again, the snake lying on the upper of the shoe was motionless, Xu Mianmian did not dare to speak, and wanted to shout Wei Xiao in a trembling voice, but he couldn't speak.
The footsteps slowly walked to the tree, seeing that it was about to pass again, Xu Mianmian's tears flowed all over her face, and a feeling of despair that was more desperate than before suddenly surged into her heart.
Speak, Xu Mianmian, speak......
The footsteps in front of him stopped, and then, a long sword with a shining silver light suddenly plunged into Xu Mianmian's body with lightning speed, the long sword made a buzzing sound, and Xu Mianmian's ears were numb.
In the next second, the long sword was pulled up and thrown aside, followed by the thin black-skinned snake, a familiar big hand carefully pulled her out of the tree hole and hugged her tightly in her arms.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Wang Zhan looked at Her Royal Highness the princess who was crying in the arms of her master in front of her in a daze, and touched her elbow with Wang Can next to her, "Wang Can, have you seen it?" ”
"Yes."
"That's the princess, when will our master and the princess be." Wang Zhan's voice fell, and his two hands were in a neck-to-neck posture.
Wang Can couldn't look at it, and slapped away the two paws that were still entwined with one hand, "There are a lot of words, what the master has to report to you." ”
"No, you're not surprised, don't you know it's still hiding it from me." Wang Zhan was slapped and was unhappy.
Wang Canbai glanced at him, he was with Gongzi when he was still a man, at that time he only knew that Gongzi had a sweetheart who had a negative for him, and later when he was cleaning in the study, he accidentally found a treasure in the box, full of portraits of women, at that time he had not seen the princess, but he felt that his mother was right, beautiful women are goblins, and they specialize in harming scholars like Gongzi.
Later, when I saw the princess, I was shocked and not worth it for my son, she was such a woman who was rumored in the capital and was shameless and chased after the champion, and she turned out to be the sweetheart of the child.
I haven't seen him for many years, but as soon as Gongzi heard the news that the princess might have been killed and has not returned, he immediately brought someone to look for him.
Wang Can felt that it was not worth it for his son from the bottom of his heart.
Xu Mianmian over there couldn't stop crying, completely forgetting what everyone should look like, holding Wei Xiao's thin waist with both hands, and burying his whole head in his arms.
Wei Xiao put his arm around her waist with one hand, patted her back lightly with the other, and his voice was helpless and glad, "It's okay." ”
The princess in her arms was still trembling, but her crying was much quieter, Wei Xiao's tense heart finally let go of a little, and he sighed, "Is the princess better?" ”
Xu Mianmian shook his head in his arms and replied in a muffled voice: "Not good." ”
Wei Xiao was about to push her away for a moment, and then hugged her with peace of mind, "Then Weichen will offend for a while." ”
Wang Can and Wang Zhan, the boss with long mouths on the side, knew for the first time that his jade-like son still had such a side.
The sky just entered spring was still cold, not to mention the forest at night, Wang Can and the two wanted to stomp their feet coldly, but the two people holding them over there looked unaware, and as a last resort, Wang Can had no choice but to speak: "Son, go back, it will be more exposed." ”
These words reminded Wei Xiao and pulled Xu Mianmian in his arms a little, Wei Xiao's face was natural, but he was very nervous in his heart and took Xu Mianmian's hand, "Why is it so cold?" ”
Xu Mianmian didn't dare to raise her head, for fear that Wei Xiao would see her embarrassed appearance, her hand was held by Wei Xiao in her hand, and she couldn't detect a trace of coolness in her warmth.
The grass next to him was swishing, and Wei Xiao hugged Xu Mianmian and turned back vigilantly, "Who?" ”
"Wei Xiu has a lot of luck, and the princess has found it."
Five people jumped out from behind the tree, and it was Wang Gui and others who had just left.
Wei Xiao quietly protected Xu Mianmian behind him, with an awe-inspiring momentum, "So? ”
Wang Gui licked the corners of his dry lips, exchanged glances with his companions, and several people stood in a row and walked towards Wei Xiao and the others, Wang Zhan and Wang Can had already protected Wei Xiao and Xu Mianmian when they jumped out, and the four of them were surrounded at this time, faintly in a bad situation.
One of them pulled out a dagger the size of a man's palm from his waist and stabbed it suddenly, "So? Hand over the princess of the White Phoenix Kingdom! ”
Wang Zhan quickly jumped out and entangled with him, and the other four people shot out in unison, Wang Can only entangled one, and could only watch Wang Gui and the other person rush towards Wei Xiao and the princess.
Although Wei Xiao is a scholar, because he grew up in a poor family, his physique is tougher than some talents, and with the daily exercise, he doesn't seem too passive at this time, but that's all.
Seeing that the time was getting longer and longer, Wang Gui was ruthless, no longer caring about Princess Ruiying's orders, taking advantage of Wei Xiao's gap to protect Xu Mianmian, the dagger stabbed him violently, Wei Xiao didn't have time to hide, so he had to block it with his arm, the stinging pain came from his arm, Wang Gui went up and was about to mend the knife, and the other person hurriedly stopped him.
"You don't want to die, this is the main person of Duke Ruiying."
Wang Gui took a sip, "Then you say so, this person's bones are hard to death." ”
The man smiled and took out a celadon vial from his coat pocket, "The good goods I just got two days ago haven't been used urgently, when it's a congratulatory gift for Princess Ruiying, come, give this man to eat, keep and serve the good princess." ”
