Princess Ding'an appeared, and Lu Anran finally understood that this was the purpose of Princess Ding'an's hunting.
Xie Yun was still confused and said anxiously: "Princess, please save Miss Lu quickly. What if there is a beast inside?"
Princess Ding'an gave her a cold look, and Xie Yun's heart shrank. She looked at Yang Xueer and then at Princess Ding'an. She suddenly realized something, and there was a trace of unbelievable fear in her eyes.
Yang Xueer sneered from behind: "Xie Yun, if you want to go in and help her, I can give you a ride."
Xie Yun tightened her clothes on her chest and could hardly breathe. I don't know if it was because she was highly stressed or something else. In line with this atmosphere, she seemed to hear a roar of a beast vibrating in the forest, which scared her to the point where she became weak on the spot.
"no no……"
Yang Xueer snorted disdainfully, "You pretend to be kind and innocent all day long, but in the end it's just hypocrisy."
Xie Yun opened her mouth but no sound came out. She sincerely didn't want anything to happen to Lu Anran, not to mention that Lu Anran had helped her just now, but if it cost her life, she couldn't speak no matter what.
Thinking of this, the contradiction made Xie Yun shed tears, looking at Lu Anran, she bit her lip and shook her head.
Lu Anran withdrew his gaze from Xie Yun, but he did not feel angry or anything in his heart. To put it bluntly, the relationship between the two was shallow, and they had no obligation to do anything. Besides, it is not a wrong thing for anyone to plan for himself.
She raised her head and watched Wu Fang fight with Yao An, Princess Ding'an's personal bodyguard. The two of them fought so fast that a person who didn't know martial arts couldn't tell anything, but with the rustling wind in the air, she could still feel Xiao Su's murderous intent. .
Princess Ding'an raised an eyebrow, seemingly dissatisfied. She raised her hand, and a dozen more invisible guards appeared. At the same time, Wu Fang also had two secret guards in different attires helping him.
Lu Anran recognized that the two men were Yun Qi's men. One of them had followed Yun Qi when she went to the southwest. He might have been hiding in the dense forest before and came over after seeing the signal.
Even if the three of them have high kung fu, the difference in numbers cannot be ignored, and the people brought by Princess Ding'an are not weak in kung fu.
Lu Anran knew that the three of them could not hold on for long, and he felt clear in his heart that instead of accompanying him to death, it would be better to go back and bring in reinforcements.
At this time, Wu Fang swung her sword and retreated, holding out a ringing arrow, ready to send a signal. Yao An quickly struck her arm with a blow, but she did not retreat at all. Instead, she moved forward with the sword. Lu Anran was frightened by the desperate attack. , even Yao An was stunned for a moment.
At this moment, Wu Fang found an opportunity to throw the loud arrow into the air.
The fireworks are not obvious in the daytime, there is only a beam of light, shooting straight into the sky, with a faint smell of gunpowder smoke.
Princess Ding'an first frowned dissatisfied, and then smiled calmly, "I'll let you call for reinforcements and see if you can survive until that time."
Lu Anran closed his eyes. Judging from the terrain, this place was not close to the outer perimeter. Judging from Princess Ding'an's tone, he was obviously very confident.
He came back to his senses in a moment and said in a calm tone: "You guys leave quickly."
Wu Fang ignored the blood flowing on his hands, as if he felt no pain, and struck each blow more sharply than before. When he heard the words, he said firmly: "Miss, please hold on for a moment."
The two secret guards didn't speak, but they obviously meant this.
Lu Anran took a breath, and the light eyes under his eyebrows reflected a coldness, "If you don't leave, do you want to die with me? Wu Fang, go find Qi Shang or whoever you meet, just say Red Beard Here, let them send troops to capture him.”
Then he scolded the other two secret guards: "My Lu family has strict rules. If you don't obey them, you won't have to stay in the Lu family anymore!"
They were from Yunqi. They were startled when they first heard it, but soon realized that Lu Anran was covering their identities. If people knew that the prince, who lived a life of debauchery and had no heart for the city, had secretly brought many secret guards to the capital, it would naturally arouse suspicion.
Facing Lu Anran's clear eyes, the two secret guards hesitated for a moment before quickly choosing to retreat.
They can't make people doubt it, and they can't fall into the hands of others. In their hearts, Yun Qi and Prince Yun's Mansion are more important.
With Wu Fang left, Lu Anran looked at her with his dark eyes. As they looked at each other, she opened her mouth: "Don't let me down." After saying that, she turned around to observe the terrain, and chose a place to move resolutely.
Princess Ding'an enjoyed this scene with great interest. She liked to see the ants struggling to their death, "Oh, you have improved and you know how to lead people to defend yourself. There are only three or two more. Do you really think you can fight with me?"
As he spoke, his face turned cold, his red lips opened and closed and he said the most ruthless words: "Kill them all."
Du Man stood behind Princess Ding'an. When he heard these words, his body trembled and his heart skipped a beat. He raised his head and met Princess Ding'an's cold eyes.
The secret guard wanted to retreat, but with more than a dozen people surrounding him, it was not that easy. He retreated while fighting, staying far away from this place.
Wu Fang used his inner strength to open the blade, glanced at the iron fence, and saw a face as cold as frost and snow. He swung his sword to cut off the branches around him to block people, kicked the trunk of the tree and flew out.
The close encounter left a trail of blood. Yang Xueer avoided the scene with some discomfort and smiled flatteringly at Princess Ding'an: "Princess, Lu Anran will definitely not be able to escape. Sooner or later, it will be eaten by wild beasts. This place is dark and unlucky. With the Princess, The Lord’s noble body is not suitable for staying here any longer, so it is better to go back first.”
Princess Ding'an did not leave, but looked at her coldly with her red lips raised, which made Yang Xueer's whole body tremble, "Princess, Princess?"
"Why did I, the princess, forget that there are three of you."
Du Man was agitated, "Xue'er and I have always admired the princess and obeyed the princess's words, and we would never dare to disobey her without authorization."
Yang Xueer finally got smart and immediately responded: "Yes, yes, we all listened to the princess and tricked Lu Anran into coming here. We will never..."
"Yang Xue'er, you are secretly thinking about Nangong Zhi, do you think this princess doesn't know about it?"
One sentence sentenced Yang Xueer to hell. She knelt down without hesitation, "Princess, no, Princess, please listen to my explanation..."
Princess Ding'an was born to be superior to others. She never bothered to look at ordinary people, let alone have the patience to listen to people's excuses. She raised her hand and waved, "Come on, throw them in too."
—
At the same moment, three loud arrows placed in the sky at different times attracted the attention of different people in the same forest.
Yunqi was outside the forest, and a recliner appeared out of nowhere, with his legs crossed and a jade bone fan in his hand. It didn't look like he was here to investigate a case or hunt, but more like a day trip to the watershed.
Nangong Zhi came over, still holding the map in his hand, "Prince Yun, look at this place with steep mountains and peaks. There is a thin line of sky in the middle, which connects to the river. Is it possible for Red Beard to cross the river directly? , fled to the border of Shang County next door."
Yun Qi lazily raised an eyelid and said, "The prince has led his troops to pursue him. Isn't it a little late for the young assistant to say now?"
Nangong Zhi closed the map and looked at the green mountains with sea of green trees behind his hands. "The attack on Longling made the Holy Emperor furious. Now that there is no clue about the murder of Yaksha, I feel a little uneasy."
Yun Qi covered his mouth and yawned, turned his head and said with a half-smile, "Why don't you let Master Dongyue pinch his fingers and tell us directly where Yaksha's lair is?"
Nangong Zhi turned around, considered it again and again, and asked the doubt that had been in his heart for a long time: "Is Prince Yun dissatisfied with me in any way?"
Yunqi half-squinted his peach blossom eyes, raised his hand and used a jade bone fan to block the sunlight that passed through the gaps in the leaves, with an innocent look on his face: "Is there any?"
Nangong Zhi was about to say something else, but suddenly a ray of light burst out in front of their eyes, and then exploded into fragments of fireworks. He was immediately shocked, "Someone sent a signal."
Then there was doubt, the sign of this signal...
Without waiting for him to think too much, he waved and said, "You guys come with me to have a look."
Yunqi lay back down again, waited for Nangong Zhi to leave, then said to the air with sleepy eyes: "Go and check."
However, not long after he finished speaking, another loud arrow exploded in the sky. His eyes moved, and he stood up suddenly and said, "Is this the loud arrow sent by Nangong Zhi?"
The person who left just now was Mo Yan. Now Guan Yue came out and said, "It doesn't seem like that."
Yun Qi clapped his fans together and said, "We're going too."
—
The prince and Qi Shang were each at one end, although it looked like a lot when more than five hundred people were crowded into the county office. They were scattered in this forest, just like stars scattered in the sky, and became insignificant.
When the signal came on, the two of them looked up at the same time, with one thought in mind -
"Where did Red Beard appear?"
Zi Sangjin wasn't sure. They designated this forest for manhunt because they thought the terrain here was more complex and conducive to hiding. Redbeard had a higher chance of hiding here, but who could say where he would appear. allow.
Before he could think about it, Zi Sangjin waved after the second sounding arrow: "Shaishui, lead someone to ambush here and continue the search. I'll go and check it out."
Shi Shui stopped in front, "We don't know what the situation ahead is, so it would be risky for Your Highness to go forward like this."
Zi Sangjin raised his eyelids slightly, his jawline collapsed into a straight line, and there was a determination in his eyes, "Last time I was able to invite myself to Diqiu, if Red Beard doesn't catch me this time, I still have a chance to invite myself. ?"
Outsiders still don't know that their East Palace is now walking on thin ice. The emperor was furious when Longling encountered a tide of beasts that destroyed the dojo. If even the bandit capital cannot be captured, the status of the prince may not be guaranteed by then.
Zi Sangjin lowered his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "No need to say anything more. You should be optimistic about this end. It leads directly to the sky. It is still the most likely escape route for Redbeard."
Shi Shui clasped his fists: "I understand, Your Highness, please be careful along the way."
"Yes." Zi Sangjin stood with his hands behind his back. Under the sunlight, his face was thin and sharp, revealing his sharp edges. He raised his hand neatly: "Let's go."
At the same time, Qi Shang also made the same choice. If the sound of an arrow was accidental, something important must have happened if two arrows were fired in succession.
No one thought that this was a trap set up by Princess Ding'an, but they all moved towards the same place.
—
Apart from these people, Lu Taotao and Feng Qing thought much simpler. At that time, they had just emerged from a mountain. There were many trees and dense forests, and they could not find the group of people who entered the mountain first.
Feng Qing flicked the dead branches and mud off his clothes, his face could not be darker. What was wrong with his mind that he would follow someone like Lu Taotao to this bad place.
Lu Taotao squinted: "Don't think that I won't know that you are scolding me in your heart if you don't speak."
Feng Qing sneered: "You are somewhat self-aware."
"Weak little chick, are you looking for death?"
"You are a broken earthen jar, but you are amazing."
Lu Taotao stamped his feet angrily: "Who is the broken earthen jar?"
"It's whoever it is."
…
So when the sounding arrow appeared, the two of them were still locked in a childish bickering.
Until he saw the second ringing arrow, Lu Taotao patted Feng Qing and said, "Ha, little silly chicken, something fun is about to happen."
