Chapter 437 "It's all fate."
The firelight made the courtyard as bright as day. There was steam rising all around, but Cui Yue still felt a chill for no reason the moment his prince turned his head.
"I heard from your subordinates that you sent them all away," Jiang Yian said without any warmth in his tone, "Where are they?"
Jiang Yian didn't say who it was, and the ending tone of his sentence didn't rise, but Cui Yue completely understood the content of his words and the impending storm in his tone.
He calmed himself down, and quickly went over the plan that the three of them had made in his mind. Then, he took a trembling step forward, and fell to the ground with a "thump" -
With a panicked expression, "You, you mean, the little prince is still in there?!"
Jiang Yian's expression suddenly turned cold.
"You didn't bring them with you?"
"At that time, the few people I sent to the kitchen never came back, and the two little princes kept crying for hunger, so I had no choice but to..." I went out first and urged them.
Jiang Yian didn't listen to the rest of the words.
He turned his head and said irritably: "Tell them to go faster."
Li Cheng looked towards the courtyard where the flames were rising to the sky and gritted his teeth: "Yes!"
He turned around and winked at his guards, and soon several guards put on wet quilts and rushed into the fire.
Jiang Yian suddenly said: "This is all fate."
Li Cheng didn't know if his own prince was talking to him, so he replied after careful consideration: "...Yes."
Jiang Yian did not react at all, and murmured as if he was talking to himself: "I have already sent people to rescue you. If you can't survive, it is also your fate."
Li Cheng: “…”
He saw that his prince didn't expect anyone to reply at all.
Li Cheng's attention was no longer focused here, but turned to his men who rushed into the fire scene.
The fire was so big and the smoke was so thick that they could only rush in for a while and then run out, allowing the next group to go in and search.
Ludi——
A big hand stretched out in front of my eyes, along with an anxious voice: "Quilt."
Before Li Cheng could come to his senses, he subconsciously handed over a wet quilt and casually instructed: "If you feel depressed, come out and switch shifts with..." his brothers.
Before he could finish his words, he saw a slender figure running quickly towards the fire scene.
Li Cheng came back to his senses and looked carefully -
"!!!"
Li Cheng was so scared that his soul almost flew away: "Prince!!!"
Jiang Yue, who was thinking about his next move with his head down, was awakened by the voice. He raised his head, took a glance, and said bitterly: "Prince!!!"
…
"What are we looking for?" Lin Jinshu lowered his voice and asked Jiang Yingcheng who was sneaking in front.
Jiang Yingcheng thought that her brother Jinshu was letting out his nervousness, so she turned around and patted him on the head twice: "Be good, little brother. When I get out later, I'll buy you your favorite egg cake!"
After saying this, he swallowed suspiciously.
——In order to make her "hunger" at night seem more real, she deliberately ate half a bowl less rice. It would have been fine if she hadn't mentioned this topic, but now that she mentioned it... she felt a little hungry too.
But in front of her brother Jinshu, she searched all her pockets and "found" a few silver needles soaked in anesthetic, which helped them escape here. If she took out two snacks now, it would be too weird.
Jiang Yingcheng smacked his lips and continued searching by the wall with a reluctant look in his eyes.
[Brother Tong, Brother Tong, the red dot you marked is right here. Why hasn’t Cheng Cheng seen the dog hole yet?! ]
Lin Jinshu: “…” He just knew it.
But the situation was stronger than the person, so Lin Jinshu also bent down and started looking for it with Jiang Yingcheng.
【ah!】
Jiang Yingcheng pushed aside a small piece of grass, revealing the small hole hidden inside: "Found it!"
Seeing Jiang Yingcheng lowering his head and about to dive into the hole, Lin Jinshu quickly took two steps forward and stopped him: "I'll go out first."
The situation outside was unclear, and even if that "Brother Tong" had not warned of the danger, he did not want her to take such a risk.
Jiang Yingcheng nodded blankly: "Oh oh oh——"
[I can’t tell!] Jiang Yingcheng’s eyes revealed a “wise” look.
Lin Jinshu's body froze, and he had a feeling that his good sister would not be able to say anything nice next.
Sure enough, the next moment——
[My younger brother actually likes drilling holes! ! ]
Lin Jinshu: “…”
[Hmm? Why isn't my brother moving? ]
Lin Jinshu let out a long sigh, leaned over and crawled out of the cave.
Outside the cave is a forest that stretches as far as the eye can see.
Perhaps it was because the place was too deserted and there was no gate within a few miles. After looking around, Lin Jinshu had not yet found any trace of the enemy.
He leaned over and pulled Jiang Yingcheng out of the cave. He reached out and brushed the dust off the corner of her clothes above her knees. Then he took the soft little hand that made him feel at ease and went into the forest without looking back.
Lin Jinshu picked up a thicker branch and held it in his hand, then walked ahead to clear the way.
【ah--】
[Chengcheng really can't walk in front? 】
Lin Jinshu's eyes were firm.
Walking in front means facing danger first, and waving branches also takes a lot of energy. How could he let her walk in front?
[Hmm... But, Jinshu-chan chose the wrong direction! If we go any further, we will end up at a dead end!!]
——The terrain in the mountains and forests is complex, surrounded by water on three sides and only one side can connect to the outside world. If someone who is not familiar with the terrain mistakenly enters it, it is easy to get lost and be trapped inside.
Lin Jinshu paused, pretending to observe the stars and pondering for a while, then tentatively changed direction -
[Wrong, wrong! This is not the way out! ! ]
After walking two steps, Lin Jinshu snorted: "The smell here is not right, let's go to the other side."
“Ohhhh—”
[Wow! You’re right this time! !] Jiang Yingcheng was happy again.
【However...】
[My brother's nose actually has this function? ]
So amazing!
Lin Jinshu felt bitter in his mouth.
He didn't really want to be that powerful!
The two walked forward again.
The "dong, dong" sound of the tree branches exploring the way accompanied Jiang Yingcheng's continuous thoughts.
[Jin, Jinshu’s brother is really amazing——]
Every time, when they accidentally went in the wrong direction, brother Jinshu would stick his head out and sniff the air twice, and then he would find the right direction!
Jiang Yingcheng's eyes were sparkling, and she had already thought about how to tell her mother about this when she returned!
Although they were still on the run, the mountain roads were too dangerous at night, so the two walked very slowly, almost as if they were on a picnic.
The peaceful atmosphere continued until——
【Um?】
【What's that sound? ! 】
