The prince is very fierce

Chapter 52: Mantis Catches Cicada (260/587)

Fengshan is surrounded by dense forests and is sparsely visited.

At the bottom of the mountains far away from Baihe, a natural cave is hidden under lush vines. Outside the entrance of the cave are two top disciples of the palace, paying attention to the surrounding movements.

Guessing that the imperial court might come to assassinate Cui Xiaowan, Xiao Qi could not put all her family members on the boat as bait. On the day when the news of Xu Buling breaking Xiangyang came back, she secretly moved several women to the mountains and hid them under cover of night. She was left alone on the boat to hide from others.

The cave was found temporarily. It is very narrow and long and I don’t know how deep it is. Although it is very cool in summer, it is obviously not a place for people to live.

Deep in the cave, there is an open space with a radius of two feet, covered with floor mats and lit with oil lamps. Several women are standing or sitting together.

Xiao Xiang'er was used to holding back in the palace and was quite stable. She was leaning against the stone wall, holding a small carving knife in her hand and carefully carving a white jade plaque. Qiao'e was beside her handing over the tools.

Lu Hongluan and Song Yufu sat together, holding needles and threads in their hands, passing the time by embroidering in the light of the candlelight.

Zhu Manzhi, who had always been lively and active, was obviously a little confused. He hid in the cave for several days, unable to speak loudly or go out for air. It felt like being in prison.

Zhu Manzhi held a small wooden stick, stood next to the floor and played with the Tai Chi sword, and asked softly:

"Sister Xiang'er, how long will we be detained?"

Xiao Xiang'er didn't know for sure, so she sighed: "We should go out soon, just wait a little longer."

Cui Xiaowan didn't like to stay in crowded places, so she was sitting alone in the corner of the winding stone cave, looking at the small wooden sign in her hand in a daze.

Hearing Xiao Xiang'er's voice, Cui Xiaowan turned around and said, "Mother, is the emperor coming to kill me?"

Xiao Xiang'er knew some inside information from Xiao Qi, but she wasn't sure, it was just a guess. She didn't want to talk nonsense about such a major event that might make the Xu family rebel against the imperial court, so she just said:

"Probably not. Although Song Ji is a bit stubborn, he seems to be okay with you..."

Cui Xiaowan shook her head, a little dissatisfied:

"The emperor always feels that he is superior. He just has no friends and I am not afraid of him, so he only talks to me. Now I am cheating..."

Hongxing is cheating? !

Zhu Manzhi, who was playing Tai Chi sword, stumbled, lost his balance and fell to the floor.

Xiao Xiang'er shook his hand and carved the rooster into a red flamingo.

As soon as the words came out, the whole cave looked up in astonishment and looked at Cui Xiaowan with strange expressions.

Cui Xiaowan noticed that the girls had strange expressions and smiled:

"For the emperor, it's Hongxing's affair, right, queen mother?"

"Well……"

What could Xiao Xiang'er say? After holding back for a long time, Xiao Xiang'er nodded lightly: "Absolutely..." ——

The sun and the moon passed by in the blink of an eye, and it was night again. There was no movement inside and outside the river under Fengshan Mountain.

Xu Buling lay down in the grass in the distance, holding a telescope in his hand, and kept talking for a whole day.

Ning Qingye couldn't run, Wu Ren's hearing was well developed, and he could still hear even if he covered his ears. Originally, his heart was full of grievances, anger, sadness and other emotions. After being forced to recite the sutra for a day, now he was just annoyed. And when preparing for war, you need to maintain your physical strength, and you can't go on a hunger strike without eating.

Ning Qingye was lying in the grass, holding dry food in her hand and nibbling in small mouths. Her expression was dull, and she didn't know what face to put on when facing Xu Buling. Seeing the lights on the building boat turn on again, she said coldly:

"Are you fooling me? If you want me to have a good talk with you, just say so. If you find such a lame excuse to crawl in the hay for a day, aren't you bullying an honest person?"

Xu Buling held the telescope motionless: "If you bear with me any longer, didn't you notice that Manzhi didn't go out all day? With Manzhi's temper, if he stays on the boat, he will definitely take the dog around every corner."

Ning Qingye thought for a while and felt that it made sense, so she patiently continued to lie down in a daze. To be honest, after such a day and night of turmoil, no matter how angry it is, it is time to calm down, but it is obvious that I still have no idea how to deal with the current situation.

It was impossible for her to sever her relationship with her master. The two options before her were either compromise and the three of them live together from now on, or they could live without contact with Xu Buling until death.

Ning Qingye has not had as many sorrows as ordinary women since she was a child, but it was easy to get Xu Buling's advantage. Obviously, it was not possible. At this time, she could only stop thinking about it and said coldly:

"I'm warning you. I told you before that the reason for using force against Chu Chu is because Chu Chu is stupid. No matter what you do to her, she will never be angry with you. I, Ning Qingye, am not the kind of woman who is submissive. If you dare to fight I will commit suicide immediately for the idea of ​​'cooking rice from raw rice'. Don't think that I can't do it."

Seeing that Qingye's mood had improved a lot, Xu Buling secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:

"How could I do that kind of thing? Manzhi wants to wait until we get married and won't let me touch her. I'm not always honest."

"Why are you so honest? Do you think I don't know what you did to Manzhi?"?

Xu Buling was stunned and turned his head: "What did I do to Manzhi?"

Ning Qingye's eyes were slightly cold: "What you did to me, you did to Manzhi. Before we were married, you insulted the innocence of a woman. If you hadn't been disrespectful of etiquette, how could I be in such trouble now?"

"How can this be called humiliating a woman's innocence? Aren't you quite devoted..."

"you"

"Hey...shh..."

Xu Buling was talking when something strange suddenly flashed in the corner of the telescope. He raised his head slightly and used the telescope to carefully check that direction. He saw a very difficult to distinguish black shadow flashed in the bushes on the shore of the building ship under the moonlight, and then disappeared under the huge rocks beside the river beach. Then, like an invisible shadow, it slid into the water and disappeared without causing any splashes. The guards on the building ship did not notice it.

Ning Qingye noticed Xu Buling's unusual movement, leaned down slightly, and whispered: "Is there any movement?"

"Someone is approaching the building ship, let's go."

Xu Buling stood up silently, with his sword crossed at his waist and a steel gun in his hand, he moved towards the building ship in the night.

Ning Qingye was wearing a white skirt. In order to avoid being discovered, she wrapped a black cloak around her body and followed closely with a long sword tightly in her hand.

The two took only a few steps and saw another figure appear from somewhere else and stayed in the bushes far away from the building ship, as if he was watching.

"There are more than one person, definitely not ordinary people. You and Yiyi just need to pay attention to the surrounding movements, don't interfere, I can handle it alone."

Xu Buling became more cautious, lowered his body and slowed down his pace, carefully observing the surroundings to determine how many people were on the other side.

Ning Qingye's martial arts were good, but he was far behind Xu Buling. At this time, he could only nod silently and hide in a hidden place... ——
