Chapter 268: The Girl in the Courtyard
Seriously, in fact, the little prince is also following his brother for the first time, it is false to say that he is not nervous, he is also very nervous, but this nervousness comes more from the surrounding guards, rather than being directly discovered by his brother.
No, because those guards would say hello every time they saw him and his brother, the little prince and the little prince, he was really afraid that these greetings would be heard by the other party, and then noticed himself.
But fortunately, his brother may have been thinking about something, but he didn't notice anything, and the heavens seemed to understand the little prince's thoughts, so in order to make him easy to follow, he even thoughtfully let his brother go to a small road with few people and overgrown weeds.
The little prince's expression was stunned, and the back of his brother in front of him became a little sneaky.
But at the same time, his curiosity was even stronger, what was his brother going to do? I would choose to go this way.
Seeing the other party's figure disappear into a corner, the little prince hurriedly followed.
In less than half a burnt of incense, he watched his brother walk down the broken stone steps to a courtyard wall at the back of a courtyard.
Instead of going through the main entrance, he unlocked the lock and entered the courtyard through the back door.
"Why did you come here, could it be that Sister Feiqing is back? It's not right, Brother has never taken the initiative to find Sister Feiqing......"
The little prince was curious and puzzled in his heart, kept guessing, and suddenly thought of a possibility.
"Is it my brother's little family?" His eyes lit up, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, because he usually took care of the food when he ate, and then hid in his own small house to eat, there was a unique atmosphere, and he liked to eat there.
did not continue to keep up, although the little prince is small, but his previous experience tells him that if he continues to follow at this time, he will definitely be discovered by his brother, and there will definitely be a lesson at that time.
He was going to take a look first, and then go in and find out his secret little family when his brother came out, and see what it was like.
In this way, the little prince walked to a bamboo forest not far away, picked up a slender withered bamboo stick in it, and played it alone.
After some time.
He was having a good time, and suddenly remembered what he was doing, and hurriedly ran to the back of the yard to check the situation, and found that the lock on the back door had not been closed, and he suddenly became a little listless.
"Why hasn't it come out yet!"
smashed the bamboo stick in his hand on the stone full of holes in front of him, and the little prince could only sit next to him and continue to wait.
About ten minutes passed, and at this time, the back door of the compound made a sound of "branch~", and the little prince suddenly came to his senses, hurriedly stood up, and found that the back door was pushed open from the inside, and his brother's figure appeared in the field of vision.
Locking the door, he walked slowly down the cracked stone steps, but he looked a little sullen and didn't know what he was going through inside.
But the little prince couldn't care about this, and when he saw his brother come out, the whole person became excited.
"It's finally out!"
Sighing in his heart, he circled around the courtyard wall to the entrance of the main entrance of the courtyard, and walked in with excitement and apprehension.
But before the courtyard had gone far, there were several vicious dogs barking fiercely not far away.
Woohoo!
Woof!
The little prince was taken aback, and hurriedly looked in the direction where the dog's barking came from, and saw that there were several black dogs on the side of the courtyard wall on the right, each of which was extremely strong, and the shoulder height was almost to the waist of an adult.
But fortunately, these vicious dogs were tied up by people, and they could only bark at him, and they couldn't get close to him at all, but despite this, these dog barks were still too abrupt in the quiet courtyard, so in the next second, the little prince heard a burst of hurried footsteps approaching his side.
"Who?"
"Come out!"
The voice came from the direction of the courtyard, and the little prince hurriedly looked over.
I saw countless soldiers wearing tight armor and holding weapons lining up towards him, and the murderous aura that permeated the air suddenly made the little prince's face pale.
However, when the soldiers approached, the person who took the lead quickly recognized the identity of the little prince, and hurriedly raised his hand to stop everyone.
"Wait! It's the little prince! Don't be rude. ”
When the other soldiers heard this, their faces were shocked, and they hurriedly stopped, put away the weapons in their hands, and the killing aura in the air disappeared in an instant.
It was the first time that the little prince had seen such a battle, and just now he felt as if he was about to die, if he was not his father's son, these soldiers would really kill him.
He breathed a long sigh of relief, and in the next second, the soldier who took the lead came to him, looked at him with a puzzled face, and asked, "Little prince, why did you come here?" ”
Hearing this, he suddenly resumed his arrogant posture as a little prince, and replied unceremoniously with his waist inserted: "Hmph, why did I come here to tell you what to do?" You can go wherever I want, you can't control it! ”
"Uh......" The lead soldier scratched his head and glanced back at the brothers standing behind.
The little prince is right, in the entire barren Shaping military camp, the biggest steward is his father, who is a Xuanjie Venerable, it is no exaggeration to say that this huge barren Shaping is his home, and he can go wherever he wants in his own home, and they really can't care about it.
But as the guards here, they knew very well how important the existence of the courtyard was, and the current situation was that there could be mistakes anywhere, but the one who could not make any mistakes.
So the soldier who took the lead said: "Little prince, we are ordered to guard here, naturally we have to do our duty, if the little prince is fine, please go back." ”
"Go back? Why should I go back? I just want to come here to play around, but you want to drive me away, I'm careful that I go to my dad to sue you, saying that you bullied me! ”
"This ...... How long is the little prince going to play here? ”
"How do I know? You can play as long as I want, do you care? ”
"Little prince, please don't embarrass us......"
"Humph!" The little prince snorted, ignored the leading soldier directly, and immediately walked past him towards the courtyard.
Seeing this, the other soldiers wanted to stop him, but they only took a step forward and stopped, and everyone's eyes looked at the soldiers who took the lead, asking what he meant, as long as he gave the order, they would immediately move forward and forcibly carry the little prince out.
However, the soldier who took the lead did not notice their gaze, but looked in a certain direction inexplicably, and he didn't know what he saw, so he nodded lightly at the air, and then made a very, very helpless expression, waving his hand: "That's it, that's it, let him go." ”
"Hmph, count you as acquaintances." The little prince snorted twice and jumped towards the inner courtyard.
His brother didn't leave the front door, he came in through the back door, and if his little home really existed, then it must be in the innermost part of the yard, so he decided to start looking for it from the deepest part first.
But after going around for half an hour, he came to a pavilion, and sat on the stone bench inside, looking a little tired.
"Brother's little home is really hidden, and I haven't found it after looking for so long."
His face was a little depressed, but the brightness in his eyes became more and more flying, for him, the more hidden his brother's small family was, the more excited he became, because this is challenging, and when he finds it, he will have an incomparable sense of achievement.
Thinking of this, he came to his senses again, rested for a while, and then walked out of the pavilion to continue searching, this time he did not let go of any corner of the compound, as long as there was a road, he kept walking, and only stopped when he saw the end, but wherever there was grass, he would open it with his hands and take a look.
However, after this search, he didn't find his brother's small family, but he inadvertently saw a flash of black shadow several times.
The little prince, who was picking grass, suddenly stopped and looked at the place where the black shadow flashed.
There was nothing there, but he was pretty sure he had just seen a dark shadow.
"It's out again......"
There was no panic on his face, he knew that this was the secret guard lurking in the courtyard.
These people are extremely loyal to their father, and it is impossible for them to attack themselves, so the little prince will naturally not be afraid of them.
It's just that he was puzzled by this, he hadn't been to a place where there were secret guards, and there were three places he knew, one of which was his own mansion, and those secret guards were often hidden in some unknown corners or various unexpected places, secretly protecting the house where he lived, and on weekdays, when the little prince was playing alone, he couldn't find out where the secret guards were hiding.
But there are some evil sects here, and he can even detect the existence of dark guards.
Dark Guards are no ordinary people, and it is impossible for ordinary people to discover them.
Therefore, the first reaction of the little prince was not to be satisfied with how strong his observation power was, but that there were many secret guards here.
There are so many that there are no more guards in the corners.
In order to avoid his own gaze, he was frequently seen by himself when he changed positions one after another.
But what's here? Why are there so many secret guards, and there are so many generals, even the "Gate Knife Valley" as a barren sand flat forbidden land he has never seen so many secret guards.
However, the little prince was just a child after all, although this abnormality made him feel extremely puzzled in his heart, but he didn't think much about it, got up and continued to look for his brother's non-existent little family.
And ten minutes later, the little prince didn't know why he stayed at a courtyard door.
The small courtyard in front of him is in the most remote place in the whole compound, in his impression, the courtyard gate here is overgrown with weeds all the year round, and no one has lived at all, but now it seems that the weeds at the courtyard gate have been cleaned up, and the courtyard gate is as old as new, not to mention, even the original broken steps have been repaired.
It seems to be inhabited inside?
The little prince's eyes lit up, the courtyard here is for those guests who come to Huangshaping, and those guests are generally relatives of their mother's family, as long as someone comes, it is impossible for their father and brother not to take themselves to visit.
The courtyard, which had been uninhabited all along, suddenly changed, and it was hard not to suspect that it was his brother's secret little home.
Thinking about it, he hurriedly looked around, and then ran somewhere, and when he came to a tree not far away, he immediately hugged the trunk and climbed up little by little like a monkey, and when he reached the canopy, he climbed on the courtyard wall outside the courtyard next door with his feet, and in this way, he grabbed the courtyard wall, turned over and rode on the wall, and then moved forward little by little.
When he arrived at his destination, he stood up on the top of the wall, found a relatively low place and jumped down.
The moment he landed, the voice of someone shouting to himself was faintly heard in the distance, and I don't know from which direction it came.
"Little Prince...... Back to ......"
He ignored it, or probably didn't hear it, and when he hit the ground, he ran out of the arch and looked curiously left and right in the little courtyard.
The courtyard was not as desolate as he had imagined, the flowers in the flower beds were in full bloom, all kinds of flowers were competing with each other, and the eyes were full of life, and the trunk of a thriving tree by the wall was straight, the green leaves were like knives, and the sunlight sprinkled through the lush branches and leaves, hazy, like a dream.
In the center of the courtyard is a clear pool, surrounded by delicate and elegant stone carvings, a few small fish in the water swim slowly, looking free, and the air also carries a fresh fragrance.
As soon as he saw the scene in this courtyard, the little prince immediately liked this place, not why, this place seems to be much more exquisite than his own small home, although it is not so hidden.
Retracting his gaze, he walked across the small stone bridge over the pond and continued along the path, and in a few moments he saw a small pavilion.
He has seen a lot of pavilions, normally he doesn't think anything strange at all, he didn't want to care about the pavilion, but the little prince's eyes were sharp, and he saw a red and gorgeous figure in the pavilion.
"Anyone?"
His attention was immediately grabbed, and he made a turn towards the pavilion.
The girl was dressed in red and sat alone in the pavilion, leaving him with only a curvy and incomparably cold side face.
But this side face, like the most beautiful and indescribable picture scroll in the world, saw that the little prince's eyes widened, and his heartbeat began to accelerate.
The girl's thoughts drifted far away, and she didn't notice the little prince who was approaching at all, until she said, "Who are you?" The sound of the voice interrupted her thoughts.
She turned her head to look, and she couldn't tell what the expression was, and when she found that it was a child, she didn't see her respond, and quickly turned back to continue looking at the sky in the distance in a daze.
Only the sound of birds sounding from time to time interpreted the embarrassment of the little prince, but at the moment when the other party turned his head, he saw the other party's appearance clearly, and in an instant, his pace slowed down, and finally stopped, no longer moving forward.
I don't know what's going on, he feels that his face has become very hot, there is an inexplicable sense of shyness, he wants to leave, but he is reluctant to leave so easily, his eyes seem to be this red-clothed figure, and he has no time to see other scenery, everything is very contradictory.
"Hahaha......"
"Heheha...... You...... You, why do you ignore me? Haha......" The little prince, who was a little at a loss, scratched his head and spoke with a dry smile.
The thoughts that had just drifted away were interrupted again, and the girl frowned, looking at the other party and finally opening her mouth, her voice as cold as her side face.
"Whose child are you?"
"I ...... Me, me, me...... I'm not anyone's child! ”
