Chapter 203 Why are you being so fierce?
Sheng Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and quickly retreated to her original position, shouting at the two who were trying to run away: "Oh no! Help! Someone's been murdered here!"
The little dumpling jumped up and down on the spot, put its hand to its mouth like a megaphone, and spun around 360 degrees, shouting as if afraid it would miss shouting in any direction.
The two paused, exchanging glances.
Gao Zhuang turned around and said fiercely, "Shut up, don't shout!"
Sheng Sheng felt extremely wronged after being scolded. Her eyes immediately turned red, and she stood up with tears in them. She took two small steps toward them, put her hands on her hips, and angrily pointed at him, saying, "Why are you so fierce? Sheng Sheng just wanted you to play with her for a bit. Why are you being so fierce?"
Ai Shou muttered, "Why are you crying already?" Gao Zhuang impatiently drew his longsword; he hated children the most.
She cries at the drop of a hat and can't be comforted; she does nothing but cause trouble.
Gao Zhuang pointed his sword directly at Sheng Sheng and threatened, "If you say another word, this sword will pierce you through!"
She gasped sharply, took a step back, seemingly frightened, and stammered, unable to speak.
Gao Zhuang put away his longsword with satisfaction.
Ai Shou gave him a look and made a gesture with his hand on his neck.
"She's already seen our faces! Should we...?"
Gao Zhuang didn't rush to act: "But what if she really is a princess? Have you forgotten what you just said?"
Ai Shou was furious: "But she saw our faces, and she saw us kill someone!"
"Who said we killed anyone? This eunuch is clearly not dead yet. We clearly controlled our strength when we made our move. If he really dies, it's just his bad luck. What does it have to do with us?" Gao Zhuang retorted. "Look at her spoiled and arrogant appearance. She's either a princess or a county princess. If either of us touches her, we'll both die!"
Ai Shou looked at him with disbelief, as if he were an idiot: "Are you out of your mind? What's the difference? The point is that this little brat has already seen our faces and knows that we injured the palace eunuchs. If we do nothing, the Shanglin Hunting Ground is just over here, only a quarter of an hour's walk away. Once this little brat goes back and reports to us, we'll both be dead!"
"That makes sense." Gao Zhuang paused for a moment, then gave him a push and scolded, "Isn't it all your fault? You knew you couldn't afford to offend him, yet you still stopped. You stopped as soon as someone told you to. Why are you so obedient?"
Ai Shou pointed to himself in shock: "My fault? You were the one who stopped first. I only stopped because I saw you stop, okay?"
"You stopped first!"
"It's you!"
It was clearly you!
Sheng Sheng: "..."
Is it me?
Why are you two arguing?
Sheng Sheng watched silently as the two people inexplicably started arguing.
Sheng Sheng had no idea how skilled these two were in martial arts; she didn't know martial arts and couldn't tell their level.
However, she knew that Zhui Feng had been protecting her in secret, which is why she was so confident in taking the first step to test them.
Seeing that they had just turned and run away, Sheng Sheng figured that there should only be the two of them, and there was no ambush or anything like that.
After weighing the options in her mind, Sheng Sheng knew she couldn't let them get away. Anyone who dared to hurt her would have to pay the price.
I just don't know how powerful these two are. She has eight Imperial Guards, and I don't know if they can defeat them.
But don't worry, it doesn't matter if we can't beat them, we have Zhui Feng here.
Clearing his throat, Sheng Sheng looked at the two who were still shifting blame to each other, turned around, and shouted at Xie Yunqi and the others, "Fifth Imperial Brother, Brother Lu Chi, come and catch them! Xiao Quanzi is still alive!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Yunqi, who had been watching this side, immediately perked up.
If Xie Yunqi had ears, he would have seen how his ears, which had been drooping, suddenly stood up.
Xie Yunqi waved his hand, more excited than anyone else: "All of you, charge forward and protect the princess!"
"yes!"
Led by their squad leaders, the Imperial Guards charged down the hillside in unison. However, the slope was too steep and uneven, causing the Imperial Guards to advance very slowly and their momentum to weaken quickly.
Xie Yunqi slapped his thigh, exasperated: "Oh dear, where's the spirit in all of you?!"
Xie Yunqi rolled up his sleeves, folded the hem of his clothes several times, placed it on his bottom, and then carefully stepped onto the hillside, sat down, and slid down like Sheng Sheng.
Zijuan was terrified.
"You wait here for reinforcements. As soon as they arrive, send them down to rescue your princess!" Xie Yunqi tossed a sentence to Zijuan, then launched himself, "Aaaaaaahhhhhh—Little Quanzi, I'm here to save you—"
Zijuan stared in disbelief as Xie Yunqi slid down the slope, baring his teeth, and soon overtook several Imperial Guards who were cautiously making their way down.
He slid along while screaming in pain.
"Ouch! My butt!"
Lu Chi, who had just circled around to the bottom of the slope and heard the commotion, was about to rush up and block Sheng Sheng's path when he heard it: "..."
Lu Chi watched Xie Yunqi slide down from behind a large rock on the side with a strange expression, and then rubbed his forehead.
Upon seeing this, Gao Zhuang and Ai Shou both retreated.
"Damn it, I was careless!"
"It's all your fault! If you had just left in the first place, none of this would have happened!"
"No time to argue, run!"
The two stopped wasting time shifting blame and no longer debated whether or not to deal with Sheng Sheng; they were both busy running away.
They've finally figured it out: this little girl really is a princess.
Not only is there a princess, but there's also a prince over there!
If we don't run now, we'll really get beheaded!
"I should have known better than to rob that eunuch. Now look what's happened! For a few pieces of gold, we're about to lose our lives!"
"Damn it, who the hell could have known that we'd run into a prince and princess while passing by here?"
Fortunately, the two were skilled in martial arts; otherwise, they wouldn't have dared to become notorious bandits and steal from royal property.
The two used their lightness skills to leap more than ten meters away in an instant, leaving the Imperial Guards who were still hurrying down the slope far behind.
Sheng Sheng was a little anxious. Her short legs couldn't even outrun an ordinary person, let alone someone who practiced martial arts.
Suddenly, two short knives flew through the air and pierced the two fleeing men within half a meter of each other.
Lu Chi flew over the trees and over the walls, but the two were quite skilled in martial arts. Even though he had practiced martial arts since childhood, he couldn't keep up with their young age and had a hard time chasing them.
Fortunately, he had a shortcut, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to catch up with him.
