Arrogant, indifferent, and selfish, whether it is Princess Ding'an or the prince, they fully display the characteristics of the royal family.
Redbeard and Zi Sangjin faced off, one was brutal and ferocious, the other was domineering. In the tranquility, there was an uproar that was about to break out.
The sudden change occurred in an instant. Red Beard held Lu Anran hostage and rushed forward. When Zi Sangjin had no time to react, Red Beard kicked Lu Anran in the waist.
Lu Anran's body flew out just in time to block the few guards around Zi Sangjin. Red Beard had already subdued Zi Sangjin in his hands, grinning coldly: "Since women are useless, please give me a lift in person, Your Highness."
"Prince!" the guards shouted anxiously.
Annoyance flashed in Zi Sangjin's eyes, but his face remained calm, "Under the sky, there is no royal land, red beard, you have nowhere to escape."
"This is my business. Don't worry about it, Your Highness. But whether I can survive now depends on whether Your Highness is obedient."
The blood on Redbeard's hand rubbed against Zi Sangjin's body. The smell of blood stimulated his senses, as if his eyes were covered with blood. The sea of blood in his memory surged up, washing his eyes red.
After finally getting to this day, of course he couldn't die.
"Let him go." Zi Sangjin said to the guards: "This palace is in his hands, no one is allowed to touch it without permission."
Lu Anran lay on the ground and coughed dryly for a while. Now she raised her head. Zi Sangjin was facing her sideways. In the dim light, she couldn't see her features clearly. The shadows of the trees outlined clear edges and corners from the bridge of her nose to her chin.
He was full of dignity and spoke in a cold voice, so that it was natural for him to beg for mercy and fear death, and there was no trace of vulgarity in him.
Lu Anran thought to himself that this is probably also the unique characteristic of the royal family. No matter what the situation is, they still maintain their magnanimity.
"Ugly girl." Redbeard raised his chin and signaled for one of the guards to throw the knife to the ground, and then kicked it to Lu Anran with his toes, "Take this knife and lead the way."
Lu Anran held the knife and tried it. The knife was very heavy and it took a lot of effort to pull it out.
"You haven't forgotten that they wanted to kill me just now regardless of your life, right? But I'm lucky!" Red Beard said with some pride again, "Be honest and take me out of this ghost forest, and I will let you live. "
Lu Anran didn't say anything. She had no choice. She endured the severe pain in her waist, abdomen and neck and slowly climbed up to a sitting position. She pressed the tip of the knife against the ground and said, "The route remains unchanged. Five miles further is the exit. "
Redbeard looked in the direction she pointed and narrowed his fierce eyes, "Why do I remember that there is a cliff in that place?"
Having been on the top of the mountain for many years, Redbeard still knows a little about this area.
"There is a path under the cliff, which can lead to a line of sky." Lu Anran's throat was dry. After coughing several times, he said in a hoarse voice: "I said before that the other three sides are blocked by iron nets. Besides, going back now is not a pursuit. It’s a ferocious beast, so it’s safest to stay on the trails.”
"If I find out that you lied to me, you will be finished."
Lu Anran said calmly: "I don't want to die."
"Hahaha, okay, this is the truth."
Before setting off, the escort brought by the prince glanced at Lu Anran with hatred. She returned the unsheathed sword as if she hadn't seen it, and held the handle of the sword in her hand while exploring the way.
The land was not close to five miles away, and the road through the mountains and forests was difficult to walk. Zi Sangjin was held hostage in Red Beard's hands and dragged along. Although he was struggling to hold on, he showed a bit of embarrassment.
The shadows of the trees receded, and the sky reappeared in front of us. The brightness was gone, and a misty blue appeared.
Lu Anran rested her hands on the handle of the knife to breathe. It was extremely difficult for her to walk this way. If she hadn't tried her best to endure, she would not have been able to make it this far.
Redbeard took a step behind and looked forward, "Are we here?"
Behind them, there was a group of loyal guards under the prince, waiting for an opportunity all the way, but never found an opportunity to make a move.
"Just..." Lu Anran gasped a few times, her mouth was dry, she swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva to moisten her throat, and then continued: "On the edge of the cliff ahead."
Redbeard turned around and said to the guards: "All of you, retreat ten feet away, or I will jump off the cliff with you, His Royal Highness."
The escort hesitated, and Zi Sangjin suppressed his anger and shouted: "Retreat!"
Another of his attendants looked at the prince for a moment, and finally made up his mind and waved his hand: "The prince's safety is important, everyone, please step aside."
Redbeard was very satisfied with this and said arrogantly: "Your Highness, this ace card is so useful that I am a little reluctant to let you go."
"Redbeard, I advise you to think twice before speaking." The prince can be coerced, but he cannot be reduced to a trick.
The prince's breath was stagnant when Redbeard exerted his strength. His face instantly turned purple and swollen, his eyes bulged out, and he was unable to speak.
"Really? How can I think twice and ask His Highness the Crown Prince for advice?"
The escort retreated halfway and stopped, anxious in place, but there was nothing they could do.
Lu Anran moved first.
She grasped the handle of the knife and tightened it little by little, secretly accumulating strength. When she raised her head, a firm light flashed in her eyes——
Only one chance.
When Red Beard relaxed his grip on Zi Sangjin's neck, Lu Anran raised the knife and slashed at him.
At the same time, Zi Sangjin shouted: "Shoot!"
As if there was a tacit understanding, the two happened at the same time. When Red Beard avoided Lu Anran's knife, the guard lived up to expectations and accurately shot him in the chest.
Lu Anran lost all his strength and fell to his knees. He had used too much force just now, and now his whole arm was trembling.
Zi Sangjin covered his neck and patted the red beard away. He lowered his head and coughed for a while. The escort came running from not far away.
Redbeard stood upright for a while, lowered his head and looked at the arrow on his chest, and suddenly roared to the sky, "I want you to die together!"
Zi Sangjin just remembered: "No!" He was slapped in the back, and his body fell down the cliff involuntarily like a kite.
"Prince!!!" The guards watched helplessly and had no time to pounce.
Blood flowed out of Redbeard's mouth, and his face was shrouded in deathly aura. In addition, there was also deep malice. He slowly turned his head to Lu Anran, grinned, and said with a cold and sinister smile: "And you. "
The guards couldn't care less about Redbeard and Lu Anran at the moment. They all rushed towards the cliff. The black mist below made them unable to see clearly. They made a prompt decision and jumped down from the side path.
When Red Beard pulled Lu Anran's arm and fell down the cliff, she no longer had any strength to resist, so she closed her eyes. The last thing she saw was a vast expanse of dark sky, dark blue buried in gray mist, dense and mysterious.
"Lu Anran!"
During the rapid fall, Lu Anran seemed to hear someone yelling angrily, as if he was in a dream.
—
That shout was not Lu Anran's hallucination before he fell into coma, it was Yun Qi who finally arrived and saw such a frightening scene.
He stood on the edge of the cliff, with the mountain wind raging and blowing his clothes. His peach blossom eyes were half-lidded, and the expression on his face was as cold as ever.
Nangong Zhi knelt down and checked, then raised his head and said, "There is a path down there. Maybe Miss Lu is fine."
Although he said this, he sighed in his heart. If he fell from such a high cliff, there would be almost no chance of survival.
Yun Qi said nothing, his eyelashes covered his eyes so that no one could see his thoughts.
He chased the sounding arrow all the way, but unexpectedly another one exploded halfway. This time he could see clearly that it was the mark of their Prince Yun's Mansion. At that time, I suddenly thought that something must have happened.
Later, it was discovered that an iron net appeared inexplicably in the forest. Like Zi Sangjin, Yun Qi also chose to break through the net and follow the blood trail all the way to here. What he saw was the scene of Red Beard dragging Lu Anran down the cliff.
Yun Qi ran over, but there was no sign of the person who fell off the cliff.
Nangong Zhi patted Yun Qi on the shoulder and said, "Prince Yun, I will lead people to search."
Yunqi remained motionless, standing there as if he had become a stone.
Behind him, Mo Yan rubbed his arms, "Guan Yue, I'm a little scared of the Crown Prince being like this."
Guan Yue frowned, her expression also not good, "I couldn't save Miss Lu, the prince feels bad."
He also felt uncomfortable because he saw it but failed to save him.
Along the way, apart from Yun Qi, Guan Yue spent the longest time with Lu Anran. From curiosity to admiration, he completely accepted Lu Anran in his heart and regarded her as one of them.
Guan Yue sighed deeply and said to herself: "I hope Miss Lu will have good luck and good luck."
Mo Yan scratched his head and didn't know what to say. He always spoke against Lu Anran, but he never thought that anything would really happen to her.
Mo Yan didn't speak, and another voice cut in: "What can't be saved? It's obvious that Yun Qi refuses to save him."
The man jumped out from behind the tree lightly. Lu Taotao showed off a half-innocent and half-evil face, with the corners of his mouth turned up, his big eyes fluttering, and he snorted: "I've seen it all."
—
After arriving in the forest, Lu Taotao and Feng Qing ran for a while in the direction of the sounding arrow. Feng Qing's delicate body couldn't hold on, so she stopped to rest.
Lu Taotao couldn't sit still. He squatted aside and didn't know what to dig.
"Don't stick your butt at me, you're not a hen." Feng Qing rolled her eyes.
Lu Taotao turned around and made a face at him, "Isn't the chicken your relative?"
Feng Qing was furious, "When I get back, I'll have someone chop off your limbs and make them into clay pots for you!"
"If you are able, come on your own. Come on, I'll wait for you."
Feng Qing grabbed the stone at hand and threw it at her, "You idiot!"
Lu Taotao flew up and hung on the tree with a smile, "Just tell me if you admire me sister, it's not embarrassing."
Feng Qing lazily argued with her, closed her eyes and rested against the tree. After a while, she heard Lu Taotao shout again: "Wow, there is such a big hole there."
This pit is very ordinary, but what is extraordinary is that there is a wolf hidden in it. When Lu Taotao met a pair of green eyes opposite him, he blinked for a moment, screamed and flew towards the treetops, like a big white goose flapping its wings, while shouting : "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
Feng Qing was drowsy and became a mother after hearing this. She took out her ears and curled her lips and said: "Your mother is dead, please don't disturb her."
Until a group of people gathered around them and stared at them, Feng Qing cursed in her heart, "Lu Taotao, are you sick?"
