There was a knock on the door, and the little muddy voice stuttered a little: "Gong...... Childe, clothes ...... Buy, buy back......"

He didn't dare to come in.

The tsundere prince let out an "um" and got up to open the door.

Xia Taozhi heard him whispering something to Little Mud at the door, and a moment later, he walked in and put a set of men's clothes on the head of her bed.

"Little Peach, don't cry, put on your clothes quickly, let's go save people." With that, he turned around and went out.

Save? Save!

She slapped her head, and then remembered that the peony was still missing! At the moment, he didn't care about anything else, wiped his tears, quickly dressed up, and walked out of the house.

Song Yuanxi was waiting for her downstairs, and Xiao Mud had already prepared two fast horses. Seeing her coming, he rolled over and stepped on a horse and extended his hand to her.

"Come up!"

Xia Taozhi hesitated, the effect of the ecstasy has not yet been completed, she is still a little top-heavy at the moment, it is indeed not suitable for riding a horse alone, but it is too ...... to ride a horse with him

She blushed and said, "I'll just ride another one......"

"Come up!" He repeated it again, his tone unobtrusive.

She had to give him her hand, and with a great deal of force he pulled her onto the horse, pulled her hand down from his waist, and said, "Hold me tight, beware of falling." ”

“……”

She was a little worried: "...... Can you do it?! ”

The tsundere prince said with a dark face: "Are you questioning the ability of this king?" Well? This king's riding skills are the best in the world. ”

Xia Taozhi: "......" You are not only the best in the world in riding, but also the first in the world in brazenness.

Someone raised the whip in his hand, clamped his slender legs around the belly of the horse, and shouted: "Sit tight!" Drive! ”

……

In the mountains and forests, a horse galloped as fast as the wind, rolling up the dust. The robes of the two on their backs were blown up by the wind, and the man behind buried his head in the crook of his arm and hugged the waist of the man in front of him.

The Tsundere Prince's riding skills are indeed very good, whether he is the first in the world She doesn't know, anyway, she hasn't seen anyone ride a horse faster than him and more stable than him. The horses galloped all the way, and they had already left the little mud far behind.

Her ears were full of whirring winds, and she wanted to remind the tsundere prince to wait for a little mud, but a mouth was a mouthful of wind, and she couldn't say anything.

In the evening, they arrived at the foot of Mount Mibai.

I saw the familiar tea shed from afar......

The tsundere prince pulled the reins and stopped, and looked back at her with a smile and asked, "Do you want to go down and have a drink and have a good taste?" ”

She reached out and squeezed his waist fiercely, and said viciously: "Drink your head!" ”

He was so painful that tears were about to come out, and he hurriedly begged for mercy: "Don't pinch it, don't pinch it, there's something to say, there's something to say......"

So the horses continued to run, and after a while they came to a small hill not far from the city gate.

The tsundere prince dismounted and helped her down. Then the palm of his hand was flipped over, and there was a long needle in his hand. He plunged the long needle into the horse's leg, and the horse was in pain, neighed loudly, and galloped away.

Xia Taozhi: "......" What is this for?

I saw that the tsundere prince calmly withdrew his hand and took her to hide in the bushes on the hillside.

"Won't you go into the city?" She asked curiously.

"If we enter the city now, Song Yuansheng will receive the news immediately."

"So what do we do?"

"Wait until it's dark before you go into town."

She hurriedly said, "But the city gate is about to close......

The tsundere prince raised his eyebrows: "Who said that you must enter through the city gate?" ”

She: "......"

Where can I enter without entering through the city gates? Don't......

She looked at him with a frown: "You mean ......"

He smiled slyly: "Yes, as you think. ”

The two of them squatted among the trees and waited for dark, and from time to time the sound of insects and birds chirping came from their ears. The sting has passed, and the mosquitoes are increasing, and between the mountains and trees, it is a blessed place for mosquitoes to breed.

Xia Taozhi has been a mosquito since she was a child, and she suffers from it. I don't want to change my body, this Miss Xia Er is also a mosquito who likes it, and after a while, she felt a little itchy between her neck, and when she touched it, a big bag.

She silently grabbed it and pulled her neckline a little higher.

"By the way, who sent those people? Why grab peonies? ”

The tsundere prince sat down, pulled a piece of grass and put it in his mouth, and said lazily: "Who else can there be?" It's not the stupid Song Yuansheng's person. And it's not the peony they're going to catch, it's you. ”

"Catch me? Why? ”

"Isn't that obvious? What do you do with a servant girl? To catch it, of course, is to catch Princess Ling. ”

"How do they know I'm with you? Shouldn't Princess Ling be recuperating in the palace of King Chujing? ”

The tsundere prince smiled, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "So, it's time to clean up the Lingwang Mansion, there are always so many stinky flies around, and it's not comfortable to live." ”

She silently agreed, but she felt that something was not quite right.

"However, if the people who caught the peony were Song Yuansheng's people, then who were the people who assassinated you?"

The tsundere prince asked rhetorically, "What do you think?" ”

Xia Taozhi thought about it and replied honestly: "I don't know ......"

"......" is stupid.

He tried to guide: "Emperor Chu has a total of three sons, Song Yuansheng just made a clear enmity with me because of the matter of picking up the star platform, if I am assassinated at this time, he is the most suspicious." At that time, the crime of killing his brother will be confirmed, who will benefit the most? ”

Xia Taozhi pondered for a while, and suddenly realized: "You mean...... His Royal Highness King Rui? ”

"Exactly."

"His Royal Highness King Kerui seems to be ......" seems to be quite kind.

The tsundere prince smiled contemptuously: "Heh, a dog that can bite people will not bark." ”

She: "......"

Seem...... Pretty reasonable......

"Not only that, but I can also be sure that Song Yuanmin is the one who poisoned Song Yuanxi, and he must have colluded with Xitu."

"How so?"

"Think about it, the Lingwang is the dignified "Eastern Chu Martial God", if you want to assassinate him, you can poison him, and you can make all kinds of gods unaware of the tricks, why do you want to assassinate him? Not to mention eight people, even eighteen people, they still can't kill me. Unless, the person behind the curtain knew that King Ling had already lost his internal strength and was an empty bottle that was useless. ”

"But aren't you the Valkyrie of this year? Red Xuan flower can detoxify all kinds of poisons, regardless of whether it is a real flower or a fake flower...... Don't you say? She looked at him with a smile, and remembered that he had lied to her before, and wanted to pinch him a few more times.

The tsundere prince felt a murderous aura rise beside him, and quickly moved quietly to the side, and said with a wry smile: "...... The martial god of this session is not me, but Gu Sheng, a distant cousin of Gu Shilang's family, it's you. ”

She was shocked: "...... It's me?! "How is that possible?!

"Yes, so many people watched you pluck that flower, who else could you be if the Martial God wasn't you? It's just that Gu Sheng only came for the competition, and he didn't have the intention of entering the court, and after picking the flower, he returned to the rivers and lakes. ”

She: "......" can really be foolish......

The tsundere prince spread his hands: "There's no way, otherwise how can I explain to the world that this year's "Dongchu Martial God" disappeared out of thin air?" Don't the Eastern Chu royal family want to lose face? ”

She had nothing to say.

"So except for the people on the star-picking platform that day, no one else knew what was going on. Even if there are rumors that I have regained my internal strength, as long as I don't get the flower, the person who poisoned me will not really believe that I have been detoxified. Sending someone to assassinate is actually a kind of temptation, if you succeed, you can directly blame the prince, and if you fail, you don't lose anything, but you touch me to the bottom, why not? ”

“……”

"But why do you conclude that the person who poisoned must be His Royal Highness King Rui?" Obviously, there are many people who don't like you, right?

He rolled his eyes and said with disdain: "When this prince was still the prince of Xitu, he knew that my unsuccessful eldest brother was secretly colluding with a certain royal family in Eastern Chu...... Hey, I always thought it was Song Yuansheng, but I didn't expect it to be Song Yuanmin. Xitu Gu Poison ...... What a good ......."

Xia Taozhi felt that her brain hurt after hearing this, what kind of mess was this, it was just too complicated.

She was speechless, and at last she suddenly remembered something.

"That's right...... Thank you for saving me......" She was still a little scared when she thought about it, if he hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

The tsundere prince sighed and said confidently: "Thank you for what? Lao Tzu's own woman is duty-bound. ”

She blushed, put her hand on his waist again, and squeezed it hard: "Who is your woman?" I'll pinch you to death if you talk nonsense. ”

Prince Xitu, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, was afraid of this move, and immediately raised his hand to surrender: "Okay, okay, don't say it, don't say it." ”

She looked at his raised arms and wondered, "What are you doing with your sleeves rolled up?" ”

He said, "...... I'm hot. ”

“……”

But his bare pair of white little arms were clearly covered with large and small bags of mosquito bites. She was still wondering why she was stared at, and the mosquitoes collectively died down. Originally......

"You ......"

"Okay...... Tsundere stood up, pulled off his sleeves to cover the bags, and said to her, "Let's go, let's go into the city." ”

***

When night fell, the lights were on, and the lights of Chujing were hazy, and there was a sense of peace.

They bent their waists all the way to the base of the city wall.

Xia Taozhi straightened up and looked up: "This, this is too high, right...... I'm afraid I won't be able to go up......"

As soon as the words fell, a hand wrapped around her waist, and the person who held her rose in an instant, and the person holding her was as light as the wind, like a swimming dragon, flying in the wind, and between a few verticals, soaring.

Before she could react, the man was already standing on the wall.

The night breeze blew across her cheeks, ruffled the hair of the person beside her, and scattered in the night, with starlight reflected in his eyes, he smiled proudly: "Little Peach, isn't it very powerful to be a husband?" ”

Well, it's amazing......
