Chapter 517 Really Dark Crawling
He finally couldn't help but interrupt.
"My two elder brothers, I understand. I will be more careful in serving you in the future."
He showed a flattering smile: "Calculating the time, His Highness should have dealt with it. I won't bother you for now."
He stood up and wanted to leave but was pushed back.
The two were in high spirits and were not willing to let him go.
"Why are you in such a hurry? His Highness has no shortage of people to serve him. Let's continue. Where were you talking about?"
"When His Highness was ten years old, he passed by the cold palace and met someone who bullied the Sixth Prince."
Mu Tou: "???"
His struggle suddenly became smaller and he sat down.
"At that time, the Sixth Prince had lost his mind and suffered a lot of humiliation in the cold palace. One day, His Highness passed by and saw the evil servant bullying his master! He shouted loudly on the spot, and the scene was so bloody that there were millions of corpses and thousands of miles of blood!"
"The evil servant knelt on the ground, trembling..."
The rest of the words were automatically blocked by Mutou.
He stared blankly at the front with empty eyes.
He was so stupid, really.
After so many days, he still forgot. There was nothing serious in the mouths of these people. He thought they would mention something about the Sixth Prince.
After all, he thought too much.
Mutou took a deep breath, ignored them, stood up and said directly: "Two brothers, we really can't delay any longer, and the rest will wait until next time. You can tell me."
After he finished speaking, he got up and ran without waiting for their response.
On his way back in a hurry, he bumped into someone without paying attention and fell flat on his face.
He kept groaning.
"Why are you so impatient? Where do you serve?"
Mutou hurriedly got up and half-knelt, with his head down and dared not raise his head: "My name is Mutou, I serve His Highness, and I was a little anxious."
The servant looked at him sideways: "It's you, His Highness was looking for you just now, go quickly."
The prince was looking for him?
Mutou's heart skipped a beat, and he stood up and saw the person he knocked down.
Although she was wearing a hood and her face was not clear, from the scars and figure that just flashed by, Mutou could be sure that this was Song Shiwei.
But why was she in the East Palace, does His Highness know?
The surprise was only for a moment, Mutou restrained his expression and smiled naively: "I'll go now."
He continued to walk forward.
Song Shiwei's eyes were fixed on Mutou's back.
He didn't even apologize to her for bumping into her? !
The servant saw what Song Shiwei was thinking at a glance: "Miss Song, His Highness has specifically instructed that you are now in the East Palace, and your status is even lower than that of a maid. It is a great favor for His Highness to take you in."
"Pay attention to your identity, don't walk around without anything to do, be careful of being recognized."
Song Shiwei's nails were almost embedded in the flesh.
...
"Xiao Lingyu left her behind."
Xiao Yanli's brows relaxed: "Several people have already gone up the mountain. Send the message back today. Xiao Lingyu will definitely leave as soon as possible."
"Tell someone to keep an eye on her. If they find Xiao Lingyu leaving the palace, notify me immediately."
Uncle Zhang responded.
There was also some joy in his eyes: "The elite soldiers are waiting outside the city. They can attack the city as soon as the order is given. Your
Highness is now sure of victory!" Xiao Yanli was not so optimistic.
His eyes were deep: "Why did the emperor put Xu Yanli and Jiang Kang'an in the Tianlao? And Jiang Bojian, the intelligence sent me said that after meeting with me that day, he was called away by the emperor and never returned to the Hanlin Academy."
"What exactly does the emperor want to do?"
Uncle Zhang didn't understand the emperor's intention. He hesitated and said, "Maybe he feels that the Xu family has been targeted and is worried that they will be silenced in the imperial prison?"
It makes sense.
But Xiao Yanli always felt uneasy in his heart, as if something was gradually getting out of his control.
But everything that happened now is clearly under his control!
He pinched the root of his nose: "How is Nanjun?"
"No news yet."
No news is the best news at the moment.
With the pitiful patriotism of the Nanlong people, Xiao Yanli had no doubt that all of them had already fled. Xiao Yanli
raised his lips in a mocking smile.
If we continue like this, we can take down Nanlong in three days, not to mention a week!
He took a deep breath.
...
Nanlong.
Late at night, there were rustling sounds in the bushes, and the Tianqi soldiers who were patrolling back and forth were too lazy to care.
After all, there were snakes everywhere in these bushes, and it was normal for them to make noises.
They have gone from being alert at the beginning to being numb now.
The rustling sounds came and went, and when there were no footsteps around, the sounds became louder.
Youli led the way, followed by the great elder, and the four of them crawled darkly in the bushes.
In order to avoid being discovered, they dared not make a sound and could only stay close to each other. When encountering something, they would pat each other on the shoulder as a signal.
Now there were no soldiers around, and after being reminded, the four of them sped up.
After moving forward about twenty meters, footsteps and conversations suddenly came from the side.
"Did you hear? Miss Hu is the champion in today's competition!"
"I heard that although the general and Jiang Wenjing did not make it, doesn't this mean that Miss Hu's strength is second only to them in the army now?"
"How do you know she is second only to them? You can't assume that Miss Hu can't beat them just because they didn't make it." "
Oh, something is wrong with you. You are protecting her like this, could it be that you..."
"But shut up, I am born to admire the strong, I will protect whoever is strong."
As the conversation went on, the sound of wooden sticks being plucked was heard.
Yuli held his breath, patted it gently, and then slowly moved deeper, and the others followed closely.
No matter how careful they were, the sound of moving at the same time could not be covered up.
"Tsk, why are there so many snakes here?"
The four of them froze in place, not daring to move.
The sudden sound of the snakes starting and stopping alerted the soldier, and he waved his hand, signaling his companions to come over.
The two tiptoed closer.
Both sides held their breath, but——
"Have you finished watching?"
A female voice broke the silence.
The soldier was startled, then he came back to salute quickly: "Lord Yu Shi!"
Jiang Zhiyu nodded: "I just saw that this place has been searched, you go over there and take a look."
"But..."
The soldier opened his mouth to retort, and just after he said one word, he was pulled away by his companion by his sleeve.
The footsteps gradually faded away.
Youli did not let down his guard, he raised his ears and listened for a long time, and when he was sure there were no footsteps, he continued to crawl forward.
Others followed him.
They did not encounter any problems along the way, and they could vaguely see the exit.
As long as they crawled out of the bushes and went into the dense forest on the opposite side while the Tianqi people were not paying attention, they could escape!
Even someone as calm as Youli could not help but speed up his heartbeat.
However, at this moment, the elder suddenly stopped moving and even made a sound.
He said, "No."
