Chapter 111: A bite back
"Your Royal Highness, Princess. [Ran^Text^Library] []&δΉ&ζ&novel{}. {l} {xs520}. {c}β
Li Hao jumped up from the horizontal chair. "Did you save me?"
"I didn't do anything. Fang Xiyue's gaze moved from Li Hao, who had just woken up, to Dongfang Yuzhu, who was sitting beside her. "It was Miss Yuzhu who saved you. β
"Miss Yuzhu......" Li Hao turned his head slowly, and was completely stunned at the first sight of Dongfang Yuzhu. Emperor Huanghuang naturally has no shortage of pretty and beautiful girls, but the girl in front of her has overshadowed all the beauties he has seen before. Staring at Dongfang Yuzhu, Li Hao looked as if he was about to suffocate, as if his breath had been taken away by this never-before-seen delicate cheek.
"If you keep an eye on Miss Yuzhu like this, be careful that people will throw you out of the carriage in anger. β
"I'm sorry, I was so rude. β
After being said by Fang Xiyue, Li Hao immediately lowered his head, but he looked for it in the carriage as if he remembered something, and finally looked at Dongfang Yuzhu with a trace of doubt.
"Nothing. Dongfang Yuzhu said lightly, and continued to look down at the book in her hand, and this was one of the two martial arts cheats that Dugu Yi had just given her. When Dugu Yi took out the cheats, she didn't make those hypocritical excuses and took it directly.
Due to Dongfang Yuzhu's cold attitude, Li Hao seemed to have suffered a lot of blows, and sat back on the bench with a wilt, while asking Fang Xiyue: "Why is Her Royal Highness the Princess here?"
"How did you come to this wilderness and be so badly wounded? β
"It's just a gang of robbers. Li Hao shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Robbers?" Fang Xiyue asked lightly, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes. Although she herself had said such things as wilderness, this place was only two days away from the imperial capital, and there were many villages along the way, and it was hard to imagine that there would be robbers in such a place.
Although Dongfang Yuzhu didn't raise her head, the corners of her mouth showed a smile with a deep meaning. Although those five people were indecent, they didn't need to be robbers at all with their skills, and they obviously came for something on Li Hao's body. Although he had already noticed that Li Hao was suspicious, Dongfang Yuzhu had no intention of delving into it, and he really had no interest in meeting someone by chance, if it wasn't for Dugu Yi saving him, he wouldn't even let this enter the carriage.
"Yes. Li Hao seemed to feel that the two girls had not seen through his lies, and then said: "I didn't expect that there were bandits running around at the feet of the Son of Heaven this day, and several of his followers were also poisoned by them. β
"That's right. Fang Xiyue nodded lightly, obviously losing interest in continuing the topic.
Although Li Hao cared about Dongfang Yuzhu, the latter ignored him at all, so he talked to Fang Xiyue about some usual things and some things that had happened in the imperial capital recently.
After about an hour, the carriage finally entered a small town, which was small but crowded with people, and before it entered the city, it could hear the noise of people, and the caravans passing by it had encountered several caravans.
"Guest officer, please inside. β
As soon as the carriage stopped, an innkeeper greeted him warmly.
Dugu Yi threw the reins to the guy before jumping out of the carriage, and wanted to go to the car door, but Dongfang Yuzhu had already come out first.
"Sure enough, the air outside the car was better. β
"It's hard for you. Dugu Yi shook her head slightly at Dongfang Yuzhu, who was breathing heavily, and guessed that she didn't want to stay in the small carriage with Li Hao to show him this.
"It's good that you know. β
Dongfang Yuzhu snorted coquettishly, and walked towards the inn by herself regardless of whether the other two got out of the car or not. Dugu Yi didn't look back, and he didn't wait for the two people behind him to catch up with Dongfang Yuzhu.
What Li Hao said after waking up, Dugu Yi basically heard it, and Dugu Yi couldn't have a good impression of this man who was hiding something.
After Fang Xiyue got out of the car, she shook her head at the backs of the two, and the dignified princess was no different from her entourage.
"Your Highness, who are they?" asked Li Hao, who was the last to get out of the car, with a frown. Although it was seen in the car that Dongfang Yuzhu had no respect for Fang Xiyue, he was still a little shocked to see a coachman ignoring the princess of the Imperial Empire like this, but what he cared about the most was that Fang Xiyue didn't care about it.
"You'd better not know. After Fang Xiyue finished speaking, she didn't wait for Li Hao's reaction and walked out.
The three of them had already entered the inn, but Li Hao was still in place, staring at Dugu Yi thoughtfully, but he didn't notice that there were people behind him who made the same expression as him.
The four men stopped on the street the moment they saw Li Hao walking out of the carriage, and the four pairs of eyes never left Li Hao.
"This kid is still alive. The man standing in front said, "I don't know what your brothers are eating." β
"Please punish me. The three of them bowed down and clenched their fists at the same time.
"Forget it. The man in front waved his hand without strength, and then said, "Let me Liao Jie take action personally." β
"The three people around him ......"
"Hmph!" Liao Jie looked back and glared at the person who spoke. "It's because you are too scruples that others will let that cunning boy live until now, and I am not like you. β
"The subordinates are incompetent. β
Forced by Liaojie's momentum, the three of them lowered their heads again.
"Hmph!" Liao Jie flicked his sleeves and walked straight towards Li Hao.
At this time, Li Hao also seemed to sense the danger approaching and felt a chill in his body, pulled his neckline, and trotted into the inn.
In the inn. Dugu Yi only booked three rooms, of course, not to let Li Hao live with him, but to dissociate himself from him here.
Fang Xiyue also understood what Dugu Yi meant, and turned back to Li Hao, who came to her side, and said, "You should be in a hurry to return to the imperial capital, right? Don't mind us, you can go first." β
"......" Li Hao's stunned body leaned back. "No, it's not very urgent, it's rare to meet Your Highness, please allow me to accompany you. β
"This ......" Fang Xiyue looked at Dugu Yi in embarrassment.
"Sorry, we didn't want to be with you. Dugu Yi directly rejected Li Hao.
"You...... Just a coachman, a mere coachman dares to ......" After Li Hao was rejected, he stared at Dugu Yi in great annoyance, and the fist hanging on his waist trembled very violently, completely forgetting that this young man was still his savior, and when he opened his mouth, he was unpleasant and sarcastic.
"If it weren't for Her Royal Highness the princess being here, who would want to be a half-blind man like you who doesn't know how to be humble......"
"Smack!" the crisp voice stopped Li Hao.
"How dare you beat me. Li Hao covered the beaten left side of his face with one hand and pointed to Dongfang Yuzhu with the other.
"If you say anything more, I'll kill you. Dongfang Yuzhu was really angry, the moment Li Hao mentioned Dugu Yi's eyes, he had killing intent in his heart, and he unabashedly released it through his eyes.
Li Hao didn't dare to speak again, but there was a layer of hatred in his eyes.
"Miss Yuzhu, don't pay attention to him, let's go upstairs. Fang Xiyue stepped forward and grabbed Dongfang Yuzhu's wrist, as if she was really afraid that she would kill someone.
"Haha......"
A man's manic laughter suddenly rang out in the doorway.
"It's you!" Li Hao took a few steps back as soon as he saw the four people standing at the door.
The person who came didn't pay attention to Li Hao, and waited until Dugu Yi and the others' eyes fell on him before pointing at Li Hao and said: "If the little girl really does it, I will be very grateful, of course, something this kid has to hand over to me." β
Dugu Yi heard from Liao Jie's words that he was in a group with the previous five people, and this Liao Jie didn't know that those five people had been killed by him and Dongfang Yuzhu. Although the matter was not exposed, Dugu Yi was still mentally prepared to fight with these four people.
"Please. Dongfang Yuzhu said coldly, then turned around and walked towards Dugu Yi.
Dongfang Yuzhu came as if she had nothing to do with herself, but Dugu Yi still saw the same vigilance as him in her eyes, and she also understood that even if she wanted to attack Liao Jie and the four people, it would not be because she wanted to save Li Hao.
"Then you're welcome. Liao Jie sneered and walked towards Li Hao.
"What you want is no longer with me. β
"En?" Liao Jie stopped, squinted at Li Hao, and the expression on his face changed. "Where are you hiding, if you tell me honestly, I may be able to spare your life. β
Li Hao looked around, and finally stopped at Dugu Yi. "He took it. β
For Li Hao's lies, everyone gave different reactions.
Dugu Yi smiled coldly and didn't say anything.
Although Dongfang Yuzhu didn't speak, the killing intent in her eyes was stronger than before.
Fang Xiyue held her forehead weakly, Li Hao really offended Dongfang Yuzhu and Dugu Yi this time, even if Liao Jie didn't kill him, Dongfang Yuzhu couldn't let him live, although he didn't want to see the important ministers of the court cut off the incense, but he was helpless, who let him offend someone with martial emperor-level strength.
"Is what he said true?" Liao Jie turned to Dugu Yi with a puzzled gaze.
"We don't even know what you're looking for, and besides, what you value so much, will he give it to us strangers? β
Dongfang Yuzhu replied instead of Dugu Yi, but her cold eyes kept looking at Li Hao.
"He took it while I was unconscious. Li Hao pointed at Dugu Yi and shouted with all his might: "That's why they want to drive me away now." β
"It's a nuisance. Liao Jie touched the back of his head, and when he spoke again, his eyes finally became firm. "Kill you all, and I'll look for you again." β
After the words fell, Liao Jie pulled out his long sword and stabbed at Dugu Yi.
