The Grand Princess

Chapter 82: Mantra

There were shouts and killings from outside, and the carriage quickly accelerated. The three girls were swayed from side to side in the carriage, and each found a protruding place to hold on to stabilize themselves.

Jing Mei Jinglan was already pale with fright, and still forced her composure. Feather arrows hit the car wall one by one, as if they were about to penetrate the car wall at any time.

"Your Highness," Jinglan shivered, "The carriage...will the carriage be shot through?"

Just listening to the sound of arrows colliding outside, you know what kind of arrow rain is outside. If it weren't for a special carriage, they would have been shot into a sieve inside.

Li Rong supported herself, listened to the voice outside, and calmly said: "Don't panic, the carriage won't get through. It may turn over after a while, you guys stay steady."

As soon as the voice fell, I heard a scream from the horse outside, and the carriage suddenly turned upside down. Li Rong used her hand to stabilize herself not to follow the force of the carriage, but was still attacked by the force and hit the wall hard. .

Li Rong took a sigh of relief, and saw a guard opened the curtain and said anxiously, "Your Highness, come out."

Li Rong was too late to scrutinize her manners, so she rushed out and told Jing Mei Jinglan: "You run to other places."

After speaking, Li Rong rushed to the side with the guards, turned on his horse, and galloped towards the Butterfly Gorge.

Jinglan Jingmei climbed out of the carriage and ran towards the other side of the forest.

Shangguanya ambushed people on the mountains on both sides of the Butterfly Gorge. They wanted to find Shangguanya quickly.

Li Rong rushed to the Butterfly Gorge under the guardianship of the guards. The guards and the killers behind them fought and retreated, leading the killers to rush in. Shangguanya stood on a high place, watching the killers being introduced into the Butterfly Gorge by Li Rong, and saw Most of the people rushed in, and Shangguan Ya yelled loudly, "Rockfall!"

As soon as the voice fell, the stone was pushed down from both sides of the canyon, cutting the killer's team in half.

Pei Wenxuan was tuning the strings and heard the rapid sound of horseshoes. As soon as he raised his head, he saw Li Rong in a red dress, guarded by guards running towards him. Pei Wenxuan's pupils tightened, and then he heard a loud bang. The entrance of the Butterfly Gorge was obscured by a boulder on the spot, causing billowing dust and smoke. Then Li Rong drove his horse to trample on the stream and all the peony and swooped towards him, saying loudly: "Pei Wenxuan get out!"

The killer and the guards she carried behind became a piece of battle. The two groups of men and horses fought all the way in the sea of ​​flowers. Pei Wenxuan only watched the peony plants trampled by them, slashing them on the flowers with one slash, and the petals flying all over the sky. Rong galloped from the red horse, from the sea of ​​flowers.

Pei Wenxuan's face turned pale. He watched the peony he found after searching the entire surrounding area of ​​Huajing. He watched these peony flowers in the fight, turning into petals, flying all over the sky, and those people didn't know it, and it was difficult to fight. Hard to separate.

He was trembling with anger, unable to speak.

Li Rong drove up to him, turned over and jumped down, and pulled him up and said, "What are you doing while standing? Run!"

As he said, Pei Wenxuan was pulled forward by Li Rong, and the killer rushed over after Li Rong. The guard was behind the killer. Li Rong turned to look at his guard and said loudly: "Withdraw! withdraw!"

"His Royal Highness," Pei Wenxuan finally reacted. He realized what had happened. He raised his head and looked at Li Rong, anxiously trying to say the words that had been prepared for a long time, "I am waiting here to..."

"Hold your breath!"

Before Pei Wenxuan finished speaking, Li Rong pushed him into the icy lake.

Li Rong pushed it swiftly and decisively, as if using all of her strength, Pei Wenxuan was unprepared, so she was pushed straight down.

The lake water poured into Pei Wenxuan's mouth and nose, but fortunately, he subconsciously obeyed Li Rong's words and held his breath.

After falling into the water, the most important thing is to calm down. Pei Wenxuan panicked for a moment, then calmed down, adjusted his posture, and then felt that someone was pulling him and dragging him forward.

Pei Wenxuan knew that this was Li Rong, and hurriedly followed Li Rong. The two of them swam less than a hundred meters forward. Li Rong dragged him up. As soon as he showed his head, he felt that the mountain was shaking. Pei Wenxuan grabbed him. Staying at Li Rong, grabbing the shore, the two quickly climbed onto the shore.

It was cold in winter, and the two of them felt a biting coldness as soon as they went ashore.

Before Pei Wenxuan had time to ask what was going on, Li Rong hurried to the side with a trembling, took a package, turned over his clothes, threw one to Pei Wenxuan, and tremblingly said: "Put it on."

With that said, she ignored Pei Wenxuan's presence here, and immediately began to undress.

Pei Wenxuan turned around in a hurry and didn't dare to look at her. Things developed too fast and caught off guard. Pei Wenxuan had no time to think about it, so he could only change clothes quickly with Li Rong.

After the clothes were changed, the hair was still wet, but the warmth eased the tension a little bit earlier. Li Rong turned around, looked at Pei Wenxuan, smiled and said, "Are you scared?"

Pei Wenxuan did not speak, he pressed his lips together and stared at Li Rong.

"Your people should be okay," Li Rong seemed to be dissatisfied when he saw him, thinking that he was worried about the safety of outsiders, so calmly said, "I just let the people who commanded you to withdraw first, and the range of these explosives has a safe range. The area, I told you when I came before, it’s not a last resort, you must make sure that everyone enters the safe area before igniting the gunpowder."

Pei Wenxuan didn't speak, he nodded, seemingly embarrassed.

Seeing his look different, Li Rong couldn't help but say, "What did you want to say to me?"

"It's nothing."

Pei Wenxuan turned his head, concealed his expression, turned his head to look at the light outside the cave: "It was all arranged by His Highness today?"

"Don't you know?" Li Rong laughed, "Don't be angry, I know it in my heart. Just now they have blocked their people on both sides, and a small number of people have been blocked outside. I let Shangguan Ya catch a part of it alive. The evidence of the Chen family's assassination is stable."

"His Royal Highness, this is using yourself as bait." Pei Wenxuan's voice was very low, and Li Rong sneered: "I don't have the patience to spend with them. They come out from time to time, and I can't guard them every day. Lead them out and catch them all."

"It's too risky."

Pei Wenxuan suppressed his voice, he seemed to be a little absent-minded, trying to restrain himself, Li Rong also saw that she hesitated for a while, and finally only said: "It won't be anymore, don't worry."

Pei Wenxuan looked outside the cave without making a sound. Li Rong glanced at his messy hair and clothes that he took off. She only noticed that today's Pei Wenxuan was wearing white clothes.

He hasn't worn white clothes for many years.

Li Rong didn't know why, and she felt a little flustered. She wanted to say something, but Pei Wenxuan was silent, and she didn't know where to say it.

The sound of slashing and killing diminished outside. After a while, Shangguanya's voice came from outside, saying loudly: "His Royal Highness, how are you, Your Highness?"

"I am here."

Li Rong immediately raised her voice, Shangguan Ya searched for her voice, and led people in. Her face was joyful. She seemed to have encountered something good. She saluted Li Rong, and then nodded with Pei Wenxuan: "Master Pei ."

Pei Wenxuan replied silently, and Shangguan Yacai turned around and said to Li Rong: "His Royal Highness, we have captured 12 people alive today. Ten of us were injured here, and everything else is fine."

"First take the person back for trial."

Li Rong immediately said: "All the corpses are also taken back, and they are checked one by one."

"Yes."

After Shangguanya finished speaking, she looked at Li Rong up and down: "You go back first, don't catch the cold, and leave the rest to me."

Having said that, Shangguanya looked at Pei Wenxuan and laughed: "The consort has done a great job this time, and your highness has said that I will reward you again."

Pei Wenxuan's expression remained unchanged, but respectfully said: "His Royal Highness."

Li Rong nodded, not knowing what to say, so she raised her hand and pointed outside.

"Let's go."

Pei Wenxuan nodded and walked out directly. Shangguanya also noticed that something was wrong. She walked next to Li Rong and whispered: "Your Royal Highness, Ma Ma looks very upset."

Li Rong replied, looking at Pei Wenxuan's thin back, the small fan lightly knocked on the palm of her hand, as if thinking something.

After going out, Li Rong saw a mess. The body fell in a sea of ​​flowers, the stream was stained red with blood, the tables, chairs and piano that Pei Wenxuan had prepared were all smashed to the ground, and the stove warmed with wine rolled on. Aside.

Pei Wenxuan looked at this scene, he paused, and after a while, he didn't say a word, with his hands in his sleeves, stepping in the sea of ​​flowers, and he went all the way forward.

He was dressed in a black cloak, his hair spread, and the wind blew the chopped peony petals towards him. Li Rong raised his eyes and saw the man's back walking outside the canyon, drifting away.

"This winter," Shangguan Ya was a little surprised, "Where did he get so many peony?"

Li Rong's eyes fell on the peony next to her. After a moment of stunned, she stepped up to the piano table.

She raised her hand to caress the guqin and saw the word "green sandalwood" engraved on it. She instantly remembered that this is Pei Wenxuan's favorite guqin.

Manshan Peony, the most cherished Guqin, if he is to cooperate with her to attract the enemy, why should he give up such a big thought?

Li Rong stared blankly at all this, Shangguanya reacted instantly after a short astonishment. She hurried to Li Rong's side, stuffed the piano into Li Rong's arms, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, what are you doing in a daze? Hurry up. Catch up!"

"Chasing..." Li Rong raised her head blankly, "Catch up?"

"Catch up, otherwise the husband will be sad." Shangguanya seriously pulled Li Rong up and pushed her up, "Hurry up, I will help you scatter everyone, you can speak with confidence."

Li Rong was holding the qin, feeling a little at a loss for a while, Shangguanya pushed her hard, only after a while, she reacted and said coldly, "Don't push, I'll go over."

With that said, Li Rong held the piano and walked through the crowd.

She walked extremely fast, but extremely restrained, like a tensioned string, with a lot of strength, wanted to catch up with the person, and fear of losing her posture, she walked quickly behind Pei Wenxuan, loudly Call him: "Pei Wenxuan."

Pei Wenxuan stopped. He didn't turn his head. Li Rong pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "Your piano."

Pei Wenxuan was silent for a long time, and his voice was dumb: "If the piano is broken, don't let it go."

Li Rong couldn't say how she felt, she felt as if she was hit by the broken piano.

What Pei Wenxuan said about not wanting, does not seem to not want the piano, but...

Li Rong didn't let herself think about it anymore. She only held the piano and said coldly, "This piano has been with you for a long time. You can still use it for a while."

"I have repaired too many times," Pei Wenxuan said slowly, "no need."

Li Rong grasped the piano body tightly, Pei Wenxuan turned his head slightly. He looked at Li Rong. Li Rong had no expression on her face. He watched her seriously. After a long time, he laughed: "His Royal Highness, I have prepared for a long time today. I bought the clothes with a lot of money, and the clothes were praised by His Highness back then. Everything is done according to His Highness's preferences, I am afraid that His Highness will not like it."

As he said, he seemed to feel embarrassed, lowered his eyebrows, looked at the petals on the ground, and smiled on his lips: "His Royal Highness should inform me in advance."

"I thought you knew."

Li Rong said very calmly: "You have always been smart, and you have seen the slightest knowledge. As soon as you were assassinated, I took you out. I thought you had already noticed and spied on me secretly, so you cooperated with me to move these flowers to the Butterfly Gorge with such a big fanfare. "

Pei Wenxuan did not speak, Li Rong lowered her eyes, and said in a low voice, "You have lost the reason you are used to."

"His Royal Highness said that." Pei Wenxuan laughed, "I never understood in the past, why my Royal Highness resisted love affairs so much, now I understand."

As he said, Pei Wenxuan raised his eyes and looked at Li Rong: "If there is a person in my heart, it will inevitably be gloomy. Your Royal Highness is strange, I have already noticed it, but I would think that this is because your Royal Highness has shown me well. Disturbed His Royal Highness's plan."

When Pei Wenxuan said a word, it stuck to Li Rong's heart. Li Rong was holding the piano tightly, and she knew for the first time that plain sentences could hurt people so much.

But she couldn't show it. She listened to Pei Wenxuan indifferently: "It's the Weichen's fault. Don't worry, your Highness will not be like this in the future."

After Pei Wenxuan finished speaking, Yanya bowed, then turned and walked out.

Seeing Pei Wenxuan leave, Li Rong clasped her fingers tightly on the piano. Seeing people walking away, she finally couldn't help but stop him: "Pei Wenxuan!"

Pei Wenxuan didn't look back, he continued to move forward, Li Rong gritted his teeth and shouted: "Why do you have the final say? If you say you want to be a friend, you should be a friend. Now if you say you are not a friend, you are not. It's up to you, it's up to you to go, what qualifications do you have to play such a temper with me?!"

"Yes," Pei Wenxuan stopped, turned his head, and yelled like Li Rong, "I am not qualified, I have never been qualified, I was not in your heart before, but now what I do is not in your heart. I am not here. In your heart, so I don’t even have the power to like you to accompany you to pursue you, right?"

Li Rong's eyes widened, Pei Wenxuan looked at her expression and laughed mockingly: "Are you surprised? Didn't you know it a long time ago?"

As he said, Pei Wenxuan stepped forward. He squeezed his fist and restrained himself. Within the range that only two people could hear, he muffled his voice: "You know everything, but you hide it in your heart. You pretend not to I know, but I just hope that I can maintain the so-called friendship with you as before and continue to treat you well."

"You don't want to be with me," Pei Wenxuan's voice was trembling, "but you can't bear my talents, and I can't bear to be kind to you. So when you face me, keep me, and when I get closer Reject me, but Li Rong," Pei Wenxuan red eyes, "Emotions can't be trampled on like this. You can say that you don't like me, but you must at least respect this love."

"Today's matter, if you have a heart, you won't know anything."

"I can't guess your conspiracy. It's not that I'm stupid, but I'm more willing to believe it. You told me to come out because you really want to go to a place with me and relax. It has nothing to do with these conspiracies."

"And you know what I'm going to do, but you can't guess what I'm doing. It's not that you don't understand. And in your heart, you are more willing to believe that I am playing a conspiracy, rather than..." Pei Wenxuan paused, he Staring at the woman in front of him who heard everything he said, her expression remained unchanged.

He suddenly felt tired and embarrassed. He even felt that if this sentence was said, he would really lose to the ground, even the last bit of dignity.

"Not what?" Li Rong raised her head and looked at him quietly.

Pei Wenxuan got these extremely calm eyes, and he couldn't help but smile: "His Royal Highness is better."

As he said, he turned his head and said hoarsely: "His Royal Highness still has important matters to deal with, the Weichen retires."

"Pei Wenxuan." Li Rong's voice was a little tired. She looked at the ground and said in a low voice, "I have never said these things to you."

"It's not that you feel that your feelings have been trampled on, or that you feel pitiful."

Pei Wenxuan was stunned. After Li Rong finished this, she felt lost again. She took a deep breath and turned around holding the piano, trying to calm herself down: "You go back first, I have to do something."

"His Royal Highness..."

"go back!"

Li Rong shouted loudly, but Pei Wenxuan did not speak. He quietly looked at Li Rong's arrogant and arrogant sword back. After a long time, he raised his hand and bowed to Li Rong.

"Weichen wait for His Highness to go home."

His voice was very low, with some pleading.

Li Rong stopped, and after a long time, she answered, "Yes."
