Chapter 45: Looting the Princess's Orchard

"Xuan Qi."

At Xie Jingci's command, Xuan Qi caught up with Lu Wanyin.

"The general is worried about the young lady, so he asked his subordinates to protect you. Once you find a suitable place, I will help you keep away those wretched lechers."

"Who is the Lecher?"

After Hou Yuanji angrily retorted, he met Lu Wanyin's unfriendly gaze.

His arrogance instantly weakened a lot.

Hou Yuanji explained righteously but weakly, "I have been ordered to escort you to the wilderness, so naturally I must supervise you at all times."

Xuan Qi was so angry that he laughed.

He even followed the young lady when she went to the toilet. Then, would he crawl between the general and the young lady to sleep?

Thinking of this, Xuan Qi held the bracelet tightly.

He planned to beat Hou Yuanji so badly that even his mother wouldn't be able to recognize him.

Lu Wanyin looked at Hou Yuanji deeply, with a smile on her face: "Forget it, if you want to follow me, then follow me."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked into the woods without even caring about Hou Yuanji's reaction.

The trees in the forest are not too dense, but there are a lot of weeds.

When walking through it, you will occasionally disturb snakes, insects, rats and ants.

Hou Yuanji had never entered such a forest at night, and the further he went in, the more panicked he became.

"Are you deliberately trying to harass me?"

Under the moonlight, Lu Wanyin said without even turning her head: "I told you you're stupid, but you still don't admit it. The grass here only reaches my thighs. How can I go to the toilet here?"

Hou Yuanji looked around and found that it was indeed the case.

Just at this moment, a clear rustling sound was heard in the grass beside him.

It must be some animal running through it.

Hou Yuanji was so frightened that his soul left his body: "Did you...hear...did you hear anything? Something just ran past over there."

Lu Wanyin said in a calm tone, "It's a snake, probably a scarlet poisonous snake."

Xuan Qi had already figured out his young mistress's temperament and said lightly, "This kind of snake seems to live in groups. I don't know if its nest is nearby."

"Don't scare me!"

Hou Yuanji's legs were shaking violently and his eyes were busy looking left and right, up and down.

I was afraid that I had really disturbed the snake's nest.

"Lu Wanyin, hurry up and solve this. If you go any deeper, you don't know what terrible things you will encounter."

"I'm reminding you, among all these people, no one knows medical skills except you. If you get bit by a snake, you'll just have to wait for death."

"If you're dead, I'll be relieved. You've caused me so much trouble with a weirdo like you around!"

Hou Yuanji kept talking until his mouth was dry, and then he realized that he had not received any response.

He quickly turned his head and looked forward.

Ahead, under the pitch-black night, the shadows of the trees grew even darker.

The cold autumn wind blows, making a rustling sound.

But, there was no one there.

Hou Yuanji felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave, and he immediately shouted: "Lu Wanyin, where are you! Xuanqi, I see you! Come out here! Lu Wanyin!..."

No matter how he called, all he got in response was the chirping of insects and birds.

Xuan Qi watched Hou Yuanji's every move from behind a thick tree trunk.

From time to time, they threw stones at the trees and the grass to create the illusion that snakes, insects, rats and ants were coming from all directions.

Hou Yuanji was so scared that he peed his pants.

Not far away, behind a bush that was as tall as a person.

Lu Wanyin, who was supposed to solve a physiological problem here, used the teleportation technique to return to the orchard she passed by in the afternoon.

The orchard enclosed by the fence is as big as four mountains.

Lu Wanyin raised her hand and collected all the nearby fruits into her space.

Then use the teleportation technique to increase the speed.

It took less than a quarter of an hour and all the fruit trees were left bare.

As she walked towards the farm behind the orchard, she used her consciousness to check the fruits in the space.

When she was eating pomegranates in the afternoon, she was thinking that pomegranates nowadays all have hard seeds, which are neither convenient nor aesthetically pleasing to eat, so they can only be squeezed into juice and drunk.

It would be nice if there were other fruits.

The orchard of the eldest princess did not disappoint her.

There are pears, persimmons, grapes... everything you can think of. She eats one kind every day and never repeats the same one for half a month.

The lights in the village on the top of the mountain are bright.

As Lu Wanyin approached, she heard the voice of a man crying and scolding someone.

"Oh my god! It hurts so much! What medicine did you, a quack, give me? Why is the pain getting worse and worse? Don't touch it! I'm asking you, will it still work in the future?"

"Don't hesitate, just speak!"

Okay, I knew it was the manager who said that.

Lu Wanyin met Manager Zhang twice, but she only heard his voice but never saw him.

But she was not interested in letting such dirty things pollute her eyes.

Passing by the ear room where medicine was being boiled, Lu Wanyin secretly sprinkled some sleeping pills into the medicine.

Go to bed early, so you can’t hurt anyone when you’re asleep.

When I wake up again, I will go and apologize to the princess.

After Lu Wanyin finished doing good deeds every day, he began to plunder the village.

She takes the valuables.

She also took the good, original food stored in the cellar.

If she encountered lackeys who took advantage of their power to bully others, she would beat them up until they cried for their parents.

At the same time, Hou Yuanji's screams called the police.

The bailiff came over quickly and lifted him up.

But he was still falling down like a puddle of mud.

"There's a snake!"

The two escorts were so scared that they broke out in a sweat, but they didn't have time to look in the direction Hou Yuanji pointed.

He pointed to the other side and said, "There's a snake here too!"

"Ah! The snake is on your left!"

"There's movement on the right!"

Jie Bian said it was a snake, but he didn't even see a shadow.

They looked at each other in silence.

After much persuasion, Hou Yuanji was finally coaxed into submission.

Hou Yuanji straightened his tilted silver crown and listened bravely.

Sure enough, no more unusual noises were heard.

"Lu Wanyin!"

Hou Yuanji's eyes were blazing as he looked around.

Finally, he rushed straight to the tallest clump of grass.

Only Lu Wanyin loves this kind of scary trick!

Suddenly a black shadow jumped out, and Hou Yuanji turned pale with fright.

The burly Xuan Qi blocked his way like a mountain.

"Commander Hou, my young mistress is not well yet. Isn't it too rude of you to rush over like this?"

Hou Yuanji was teased so badly that he was burning with anger.

Walking around Xuan Qi, she scoffed coldly, "It's been so long, aren't you afraid that she'll be snatched away by a blind bear?"

Xuan Qi took a step forward with his long legs and once again stood firmly in front of Hou Yuanji.

He even took a step forward, forcing Hou Yuanji to retreat.

Xuan Qi said, "If the young lady is in danger, she will call her subordinates, so Commander Hou will not have to worry about it."

Hou Yuanji drew his sword and pointed it at Xuan Qi's neck: "Get out!"

Xuan Qi glanced at the sword and then looked at Hou Yuanji.

Instead of backing off, he moved one step closer.

"Do you think you can slit my throat first, or do you think I can take you down first?"

Those who emerge from the battlefield are like cheetahs in the wild.

Just a glance is enough to make people realize how powerful and terrifying he is.

Hou Yuanji's sword-holding hand trembled, and he gritted his teeth and ordered, "Lu Wanyin has been missing for a long time and seems to have escaped. Call someone quickly."

"You hold on for now, I'll go right away."

As soon as he finished speaking, the escort flew away like an arrow.
