Chapter 241 Curiosity Kills the Cat
"It's quite a coincidence."
Bai Li said sarcastically that no one was following her and she would never believe such a coincidence even if she was beaten to death.
But what if it’s a coincidence?
She was looking forward to seeing if there were any tricks he hadn't used yet.
"What are you doing here?"
"Appreciating flowers, isn't that what Princess Donghu is doing?"
Xuan Yuhao spoke in poor Da Zhou language and looked at her with a smile on his face.
Xuan Yuhao is a sunny young man. Compared with Simon's King Jin, he is more likable.
"Okay, do as you please. I'm leaving now."
"Hey, don't go. It's a rare opportunity to meet. Let's enjoy the flowers together?"
"No need, the princess has me by her side, the Third Prince can do whatever he wants."
Nangong Min had a gloomy face, and his eyes were domineeringly declaring his sovereignty.
Xuan Yuhao raised his eyebrows, saw Nangong Min's hostility, and restrained his smile.
"This is..."
"My name is Nangong Min, and I'm honored to meet the Third Prince of Meng."
"No need to be polite. It turns out to be Young Master Nangong."
"As far as I know, Princess Donghu is a free person. It's her freedom to choose who she wants to accompany her. Young Master Nangong can't make decisions for her, right?"
"Why? Do you have any objections?"
Before Bai Li, the person involved, could even utter a word, the two men were already arguing with each other, and it looked like a war was about to break out.
Ha! She wanted to see how the two of them performed in martial arts, and who would win or lose?
While she was stunned, the two of them had already started fighting.
The two men fought and retreated, obviously not wanting to avoid Bai Li.
Bai Lixiao watched with interest. Nangong Min was good at Qing Kung and his movements were as light as a swallow. Xuan Yuhao had a stable lower body and punched hard, and each move was powerful and fierce.
One was light, the other heavy; one was fast, the other slow. The two men restrained each other and were evenly matched for a while.
Bai Li looked at their fight and suddenly lost interest. The two grown men were almost fifty years old combined, but they were still fighting like children. How childish!
He shook his head and slowly walked to the side.
The two men fought further and further away, not realizing that the person they were jealous of had long disappeared.
Bai Li followed a field of wild flowers, looking at them as he walked, and the path he took led him further and further away.
Suddenly, she heard a strange sound and walked forward out of curiosity.
“Help, help!”
Someone actually shouted for help. There must be no mountain goblins or ghosts in this remote wilderness, right?
Bai Liping got goosebumps all over his body.
I was torn between going forward to take a look or turning around and walking away.
Unfortunately, her steps were faster than her brain. When she saw the woman in front of her, she realized that her curiosity had taken over.
"Little sister, help!
I was picking wild vegetables in the mountains when I was caught by some bad guys. If my sister hadn’t come over, I would be…”
"Can you still walk?"
Bai Li frowned slightly as he looked at the young woman who was slumped on the grass with her hair in a bun, messy clothes, and obvious dragging marks on her clothes and feet.
"The bad guy ran over there, and I'm afraid he'll come back. Please, little sister, take me home. My whole family will be very grateful!"
"I, I can still walk. I don't need you to carry me home."
The woman tried to stand up as she spoke, but unfortunately she fell to the ground several times.
"Get up!"
Bai Li said this with dismay and stretched out his hand, thinking about how to send her home since she couldn't walk.
She felt a little uncomfortable when asked to carry a stranger home.
Besides, she wasn't in imminent danger, so she couldn't have any worries.
"Thank you very much!"
When the woman grabbed her hand, Bai Li felt something prick her palm, causing a slight sting.
"Oh, sorry, I often swear and my hands are covered with calluses, so..."
The woman apologized with an uneasy look on her face, fearing that she would anger Bai Li and refuse to send her home.
"It's okay, where is your home? I'll take you back."
After Bai Li finished speaking, he gestured for her to lead the way. When the woman turned around, a sly smile of triumph appeared in her eyes.
The woman followed the traces and not far away she saw a basket overturned on the ground, with wild vegetables scattered all over the ground. The leaves of the wild vegetables had just wilted, and it looked like they had been dug not long ago.
"Oh, luckily my vegetables and basket are still there."
The woman happily bent down to pick up the wild vegetables on the ground and put them into the basket.
Seeing this, the last bit of doubt in Bai Li's heart disappeared, and he thought to himself that he was too suspicious and everyone looked like a bad person to him.
Bai Li waited patiently as the woman picked up the wild vegetables one by one, then flattened them one by one and put them into the basket.
How could someone who cherishes wild vegetables so much be pretending?
Bai Li once again felt ashamed of his petty mind.
But why was the sun getting hotter and hotter, as if she was in a melting pot, as if it wanted to melt her?
Um?
Why is the sky spinning?
It made her dizzy!
"Little sister? Little sister..."
When Bai Li had the last bit of consciousness left in his mind, he felt something was wrong and quickly bit the tip of his tongue.
The sudden sharp pain stimulated her paralyzed brain and a flash of clarity came into her mind. She took the opportunity to use the last bit of consciousness to enter the space.
“Ahhh!!! Ghost!!”
A living person suddenly disappeared in front of her, and the woman was almost scared to death!
A man wrapped tightly in clothes suddenly appeared, grabbed the woman who was running and screaming in fear, and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on? Where are the people?"
"Ah!! Someone, someone's gone!"
"Tell me clearly what you mean by missing!"
The woman regained consciousness and recounted what had happened incoherently.
"You mean, after bringing people here, they suddenly disappeared?"
The woman nodded in fear, the fear in her eyes not seeming fake.
The masked man didn't believe it and looked around.
There are no secret passages nearby. How could a living person suddenly disappear?
Unless someone is cheating!
"You mean, she was poisoned by you and had already started to lose consciousness, so she suddenly disappeared?"
"Yes, the peasant woman dared not lie."
“Bang!”
The woman was beaten so hard that she spun around in a circle. She didn't even bother to cover her face and immediately knelt down to admit her mistake.
"Idiot! If that's the case, there's no point in keeping you here!"
"Have mercy, you said you would let me go after you finish the job!"
"But you didn't do it well!"
After the last word was uttered, the woman's eyes widened, she covered her neck, blood spurted out from between her fingers, she made a hoarse sound, and could no longer speak.
The man kicked her body, which was kneeling and refusing to fall to the ground, and pushed her into the bushes.
He looked around and saw no one, so he ran away quickly.
Nangong Min and Xuan Yuhao fought for who knows how many rounds, and finally won with a narrow move. After saying goodbye, he withdrew and left.
Xuan Yuhao covered his chest where his blood was surging, and had no intention of arguing with him.
Nangong Min searched around but couldn't find Bai Li. He returned to where the horses were tied and saw two horses, one black and one white, leisurely nibbling on the grass in the woods.
Nangong Min felt inexplicably panicked and started shouting loudly.
"Li'er! Bai Li!"
Bai Li had never left without saying goodbye when she was angry, and the horse was still there. Even if she was angry, she couldn't leave without riding the horse.
Moreover, before meeting Xuan Yuhao, the two were fine...
No, unless she...
