Chapter 462: No One Can Be Trusted
As Princess Anping and Luo Lezhi walked further and further away, their figures gradually disappeared into the winding mountain road.
Little Yining began to feel uneasy deep in her heart, and she couldn't help but call out softly, "Uncle..."
Although the voice was not loud, it was filled with a hint of tension and dependence that was difficult to conceal.
At this moment, Pei Yi's expression had gradually turned cold. He leaned against the wall of the car, looking around vigilantly through the window, but he said comforting words: "Don't be afraid, sister Qing, your cousin is here."
As soon as these words fell, the naughty kid, who had been ready to make a move, laughed at the top of his voice, "You are such a coward! You are afraid in broad daylight! How ridiculous!"
Before the naughty kid finished his words, he attracted Pei Yi's displeased cold gaze.
Sheng Hongtong subconsciously shrank his neck, but then he pretended to be calm, stiffened his neck, and shouted fiercely, "You are so bold and unruly. How dare you look at me like that? I am not wrong."
Faced with such an unreasonable kid, Pei Yi speechlessly withdrew his gaze and ignored this second fool. He turned to look at Yuan'er who was not involved and said, "Xiang Sizi, please take Sister Qing away from here. If I am not mistaken, there are dozens of people approaching here."
The longing under Yuan'er's face: ...
"Who are you calling, Xiangsizi? There are people coming and going on this official road. Isn't it normal for someone to come here?" Sheng Hongtong started to argue again.
At this moment, something he didn't expect happened. The Xiangsizi who had been repeatedly exposed spoke helplessly, and said in a male voice: "The emperor ordered me to keep an eye on the little girl and the second prince."
Sheng Hongtong: ...
The naughty kid was speechless for a moment, he stood there with his eyes wide open, his mind was blank, and he completely lost the ability to think.
However, the conversation in the car did not stop because of his strangeness.
Xiao Yining's mind reappeared the terrifying scene of Xiao Shunzi being chased by the men in black that day. She nervously grabbed her fellow villager's sleeve and said, "Uncle, I won't leave."
"No matter who those people's target is, if you insist on not leaving, none of us will survive." Pei Yi's tone was calm but revealed his unquestionable determination.
"I'm going to take GunGun with me to escape this time."
Xiao Yining was stunned by her fellow villager's words. A trace of astonishment first flashed across her eyes, followed by deep surprise and heavy doubts.
These complex emotions intertwined together and eventually turned into two lines of crystal tears, sliding down her pink cheeks. She cried and said in panic, "Uncle, you can't abandon Qingjie. You are the only one by Qingjie's side."
Pei Yi lowered his eyes and stared at the little girl's ever-changing expression. He knew that she had understood his intention, so he smiled with relief. He raised his hand and gently touched her little head, comforting her: "Qingjie has always been smart. You should know that God is too lazy to take my life. Don't worry, your cousin has always been a strong man, and nothing will happen to him."
Wang Gungun, who had been sitting silently at the side, also spoke at this moment: "Don't worry, I'm also very lucky. If you die, I don't know how sad my aunt will be."
After saying this, he took off his clothes.
Everything inside the carriage was completely blocked by the tight curtains, and no one knew what was happening inside.
Soon, Yuan'er got off the carriage with the two children and solemnly instructed the guards who were guarding the carriage, "Please protect the Second Prince. I will take the two children to the forest to relieve themselves."
"As ordered."
"Yuan'er" looked back at the carriage, sighed softly, and walked towards the depths of the forest with the two children.
Xiao Shunzi, who was serving outside the carriage, looked at the figure of a little kid, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and his hand quietly touched his waist belt.
At this moment, Princess Anping, who was climbing the mountain, looked down at the bottom of the mountain as if she had sensed something. She stared at the carriage, and a sense of something was wrong rose in her heart.
Luo Lezhi, who was walking in front of her, saw this and said nonchalantly, "Princess, the Ganlu Temple is just a few steps up."
Princess Anping suddenly stopped walking, a thought flashed in her eyes, and a fog in her heart seemed to be cleared. She asked, "Jing'an, you have heard of Ganlu Temple before, why didn't you tell me before that the road here is rugged and difficult to walk?"
Hearing this, Luo Lezhi raised an almost morbid smile, and her eyes slowly swept over the long team at the foot of the mountain. In the forest not far from the team, the shadows of the trees swayed in the wind, dancing like ghosts. If you look closely, you can find countless black shadows sneaking towards the direction of the team like ghosts.
She responded slowly: "Of course, it is to let the princess come here. After all, the princess is of great use to the master, and those children are already dying in the eyes of the master."
As this person's words slowly came out, Princess Anping felt as if she had been hit hard in the heart, as if the sky and the earth were collapsing. The faint blush on her cheeks from climbing the mountain road disappeared without a trace in an instant, replaced by a face as pale as paper.
She turned around almost reflexively and shouted anxiously to the guards who were accompanying her: "Quick, catch Jing'an!"
The sound was like a sharp arrow, piercing the quiet mountain air, sharp and urgent.
She didn't even bother to wait for the guards' response and ran hurriedly down the mountain.
However, it was too late.
With Princess Anping's order, it was as if the devil's door to hell had been opened.
Those guards who were usually well-trained and agile had distorted faces, expressions of pain were evident on their faces, and their bodies trembled violently and uncontrollably.
In a flash, they were like puppets with their strings cut, blood gushing out of their mouths, as if all the strength in their bodies was instantly drained away, and they collapsed limply to the ground.
At this moment, Luo Lezhi sneered, and before Princess Anping ran far away, she stretched out her hand nimbly and grabbed Princess Anping's arm tightly.
"Your Highness, you are rushing down the mountain in such a hurry. It would be a pity if you were not careful and scratched your stunningly beautiful face. It would be better for you to go to Ganlu Temple with me, where more wonderful things are waiting for you." Luo Lezhi spoke slowly while secretly exerting force with his hands to pull Princess Anping back.
At the same time, a shocking sound of fighting came from the far foot of the mountain. The sound was like a surging tsunami, breaking through the sky in an instant, making people terrified.
Upon hearing the sound, Princess Anping subconsciously looked down the mountain, and saw countless men in black rushing towards the team like a tide, and the ground beneath their feet was gradually dyed a glaring red.
The blood in her body seemed to be completely frozen at this moment. Her beautiful eyes, which were usually bright and shining, suddenly lost all their vitality. Only a desperate cry came out of her mouth: "Azhu..."
