Chapter Forty-Eight: Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals
Although she didn't say it, she didn't know if it was the expression on Xia Taozhi's face that betrayed her, or if someone was really good at mind reading, as if she had seen through what she was thinking, and became proud.
Oh no, it's going to take an inch.
“…… Don't you give a kiss to a reward? ”
Xia Taozhi gave him a merciless look.
"Get out."
When is this all right, and there is still a mood to fool around!
But a certain tsundere's skin was thicker than the city wall under their feet, and he was not annoyed at all, but grinned. Wait, little peach, one day my husband will let you pounce willingly!
Xia Taozhi didn't know what he was thinking, at this time, his whole heart was tied to Peony's body, and he just wanted to save her quickly, and asked, "The prince arrested Peony, where is it locked up?" ”
The implication is that they have arrived in Chujing at this time, where are they going to save the peony medicine next?
Now that she has entered the capital of Chu, her heart has settled down. Since Peony was captured by Song Yuansheng, it proves that she is still useful to Song Yuansheng, and there should be nothing wrong for a while, otherwise there is no need to bring people back from afar, if you want to kill them, you can do it in Cloud City. She thought that as long as the person was not in the East Palace, she would be sure to rescue the person. But even if it's in the East Palace, it doesn't matter, it's a big deal to break into the palace overnight, and by the way, go to the cold palace to take a look at the portrait that the tsundere prince said.
She thinks she is very thoughtful, everything is ready, and she only owes the east wind. Since the tsundere prince rushed back with her all the way, he must have known the whereabouts of the peony, and at this moment, she just waited for him to say it, and she immediately went to save people.
But, the next moment, she heard a certain tsundere answer justifiably: "I don't know......"
“……”
She was so angry that she choked on her chest. I don't know?! I don't know what that means?! In order to save people, they rushed back to Chujing all the way to Chu Jing, thinking that he already knew the whereabouts of Peony, but who knew that he didn't know, was he making fun of her again?!
The Tsundere prince reacted extremely quickly, and accurately reached out and grabbed a small hand that wanted to commit murder on his waist, and couldn't help but snicker in his heart. This little peach, do you know that this little action is exclusive to lovers? However, it doesn't matter if she doesn't know, in short, she will only do this to him alone.
Thinking about it, he was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Hey, hey, don't worry...... I don't know, but someone knows......"
Xia Taozhi was very annoyed with him at the moment, and just wanted to pinch this dead arrogant kneel and beg for mercy, but his hand was caught by him and couldn't move, so he had to say hatefully: "Who knows?!" Say it! ”
The tsundere prince said with a hippie smile: "Madame's subordinates are merciful, I just say it...... It's Gu Ziyi. ”
"Childe?" Xia Taozhi looked surprised, how could Childe know?!
A certain tsundere was displeased, "sighed", and sour bubbles bubbled again: "...... Can't you just not call him Childe? I ......"
She raised her eyebrows, "Less nonsense!" Say it! ”
"Of course, it's because your wise, resourceful, and talented husband has already passed the book to him, so that he can pay attention, and as soon as he enters Chujing, he will intercept it for me."
Xia Taozhi's heart lit up: "Then did he intercept it?" ”
Someone touched his chin and replied, "No." He was also wondering, Gu Ziyi didn't send a reply to him, I don't know why.
Xia Taozhi was so angry, then you have been talking here for a long time, and you are still wise, resourceful, and talented.
A certain tsundere laughed and said, "Madame, don't panic, it's useless to say anything else at this time, let's go to Gu Mansion first and see what's going on." ”
Now she has no choice, and she can only follow this unreliable guy.
So, before the soldiers patrolling the city could spot them, the two jumped down and jumped into the dark night.
Tonight, the crescent moon is like a ditch, starry, scattered, and two black shadows are speeding like the wind in the streets and alleys of Chujing by the moonlight. The tsundere prince was in front, Xia Taozhi followed closely, and when he was about to arrive at the Gu Mansion, the people in front suddenly slowed down.
"No......" The tsundere prince stopped and pulled Xia Taozhi into the shadows.
"What's wrong?" Xia Taozhi didn't know why, and looked ahead. The Shilang Mansion is right in front of them, the lights are bright, everything is as usual, what's wrong?
But the tsundere prince's brows furrowed slightly, and he said again: "It's not right."
"What the hell is going on?" She urged impatiently.
The tsundere prince stretched out his finger and pointed to a big tree directly opposite the entrance of the Gu Mansion, and said, "There are two on the tree." He pointed to the side of the street, "One on the side of the street." Then he pointed to the alley mouth diagonally opposite: "Two alleys."
Xia Taozhi was inexplicable, "What one or two?" ”
"......" stupidly forget it.
He had to add: "People, the Gu Mansion is being watched. ”
Spied on?!
She hurriedly asked, "Who is watching?" ”
"I don't know yet...... "Tsundere replied, "...... There are five people I can see outside the house, and if there are others that I can't even see, it will be very remarkable. ”
Xia Taozhi listened to him talk mysteriously, but she didn't find anything abnormal when she looked left and right. Obviously empty streets, empty alleys and dark trees, where are the people?
She asked, "Why can't I see any of them?" ”
The tsundere prince endured it with all his might, and then he resisted the urge to roll his eyes...... Forget it, your own woman, no matter how stupid she is, she has to bear it.
"It's too dark...... It's normal that you can't see. ”
“……”
But the fox is suspicious, Xia Taozhi believes in the Tsundere Prince's instinctive alertness and judgment ability for the crisis situation, she remembered that when they returned to Mibai Mountain that night to find their body, the Tsundere Prince also accurately judged that someone was coming without her noticing, and asked her to go up the tree to hide in advance, so that she was not discovered.
So she got worried.
"Won't we be able to get in, then?" What to do? She was very anxious.
The tsundere prince raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Who said we can't get in?" With these few shrimp soldiers and crab generals, can you still stump your husband and me? ”
On the big tree at the entrance of Gu's mansion......
Shrimp Soldier looked around vigilantly: "What happened just now?"
Crab General B yawned: "Where is it?" Are you dazzled? ”
Shrimp Soldier Armor: "......"
……
Xia Taozhi didn't say anything, but she still admired the tsundere prince very much in her heart. Sure enough, the god unknowingly took her into the Gu Mansion with light skills, and her body was so fast that she couldn't believe it.
Gu Mansion was already familiar to them, and the two black shadows moved extremely quickly and turned into Gu Ziyi's courtyard, the study was lit with candles, and a figure in front of the window was sitting solemnly in front of the desk, as if reading a book.
There was a soft knock at the door.
"Who?!"
Gu Ziyi's vigilant voice immediately came from inside the house, and after a while, he opened the door, and saw the two people at the door showing a slight surprise, and immediately welcomed them in.
"Your Highness, Mother." He bowed, and then led the two of them to their seats. His expression was a little unnatural, and he turned around and closed the window door firmly, and said to the two of them, "Forgiveness." Then the candle flame was blown out.
It was pitch black all around.
Xia Taozhi suffered when she was a child, hiding under a dark waterhole for a day and a night, and since then she has had an indescribable fear of the dark. In the dark, she felt a little uncomfortable, and writhed uneasily. A hand reached over and held her hand firmly.
She heard him whisper, "Don't be afraid. "It seems to feel so much better.
"Your Highness, Niangniang, please forgive your sins." Gu Ziyi's voice came from the darkness, and he seemed to be sitting opposite them: ...... I had to make this decision, just because it was not safe in the house at the moment, and I guess the two of them found those eyeliners ambushed in the dark when they came in. ”
The tsundere prince said: "No wonder this king didn't receive your reply, so that's the case." ”
Gu Ziyi said: "Your Highness forgives me, as soon as Weichen returned to Chujing, he found that my mansion was secretly monitored. Even His Highness's flying pigeon biography was almost intercepted......"
The tsundere prince asked, "What's going on?" Who the hell is secretly sending someone to spy on you? ”
Gu Ziyi didn't speak, as if he was thinking about how to answer. Halfway through, he sighed and said, "This matter is a long story, these people are not eyeliners sent by one person, but many people are monitoring the Gu Mansion. ”
"Whose is it?"
"There are people from Ning Guohou, there are people from the Great General's Mansion, there are people from the Taishi Mansion, and there are even ......" He paused, and seemed to smile bitterly: "...... And the emperor's people. ”
The tsundere prince was silent, and Xia Taozhi couldn't help but ask, "Why?" ”
Gu Ziyi said: "...... For Gu Sheng. ”
Xia Taozhi was shocked, she thought that Gu Sheng's stubble had passed, who knows, there were so many incidents? Gu Sheng's identity is fake, and the name of Gu Ziyi's distant cousin, it is understandable to think that these people sent people to secretly monitor Gu Ziyi's mansion in order to find Gu Sheng.
She asked the tsundere prince: "Didn't you say that you have announced to the public that Gu Sheng has no intention of entering the dynasty and retiring from the rivers and lakes?" "Why are you still in so much trouble?!
The tsundere prince said: "Suddenly, a "Gu Sheng" appeared, picked flowers, won the crown, and disappeared quietly, it is impossible not to arouse suspicion. He smiled contemptuously: "...... In addition, the prince of the East Palace planted a big heel fight on this "star picking" again, and he has been grounded in the East Palace so far, of course, these princelings are in a hurry, if they can find some clues to prove that Gu Sheng is a person with a suspicious identity, it is best to be instructed by the King of Ling to harbor evil intentions. Then the prince will be able to turn over, won't he? ”
"Therefore, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince originally wanted to arrest Niangniang in order to force His Royal Highness to hand over Gu Sheng. Who expected ......"
Mended...... By mistake, the peony suffered from the seedlings.
She couldn't help but ask anxiously, "Lord Gu, where did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrest the peony?" Do you know? ”
Gu Ziyi said: "Back to Niangniang, Weichen knows where the peony girl is, it's a pity...... Wechen can't get out now......"
"Get out!" She said, "If we all come in, you will definitely go out!" With that, she squeezed the Tsundere Prince's hand.
A certain tsundere: "......"
If he wants to fly in with her in his arms, he is willing. If he was allowed to fly out with a man, he would ......
But the little hand in his hand kept moving gently, as if he was pleading with him eagerly.
Well, it's rare for Little Peach to ask him, so he reluctantly agrees.
A moment later, the big tree at the gate of Gu's mansion ......
Shrimp Soldier Armor: "What happened just now?!"
Crab General B: "Don't make a fuss, okay?"
Shrimp Soldier Armor: "......"
