Chapter 171
But soon she adjusted her mentality, stopped looking at Jiang Yehan, and stared at the distance, only to see that the living creature just now turned out to be a vulture, squatting on a big tree ready to go.

"Miss, are you alright?" Zhuyu dragged Ying'er and tiptoed over, the two stared nervously at the big tree, apparently also frightened by the vulture.

This vulture is huge, four feet long, gray-brown in color, covered in snow-white feathers, its wings spread out a foot, its legs are thick, its claws are pitch-black, extremely sharp, and it looks extremely horrifying.

Ye Zhaoyan didn't expect that such a ferocious wild bird would take the initiative to attack her. She was in the garden behind Qiong Shu's banquet, and she was actually being targeted by a ferocious beast. She felt a little weird in her heart.

If the vulture had pounced on her just now, she would definitely die.

She could feel that the danger of this vulture was far beyond her estimation. Even if she fought with a long sword, she might not have a chance of winning. This vulture could be said to be the only one she had ever seen in her life.

Ye Zhaoyan was still in a daze, and the vulture flapped its wings twice, ready to fly, and stared straight at Ye Zhaoyan, with a bloodthirsty luster in its eyes.

Ye Zhaoyan felt the vulture's hostility and couldn't help screaming inwardly.

She knew the vulture had her eye on her.

The speed of the vulture is very fast. Under normal circumstances, it only takes three breaths to fly a distance of more than ten feet.

Although Ye Zhaoyan was able to keep up, she couldn't fully guarantee that she could escape the vulture's pursuit.

Looking at this scene, Jiang Yehan's eyes flickered, and the corners of his lips curved slightly.

He quietly reached out to touch a sachet-like thing at his waist, and his fingertips were quietly stained with a few traces of white powder.

He walked forward slowly to block Ye Zhaoyan, and gradually approached the big tree where the vulture was, "Don't be afraid, Miss Ye."

The next second, he flicked his right index finger, and the white powder on his fingertips was directed towards the vulture's head.

The vulture suddenly felt a cold breath coming into its mind, its head shook involuntarily, its eyeballs also rolled, it seemed very irritable, and after a while, it flew towards the big tree a little farther away.

Looking at the appearance of the vulture, Ye Zhaoyan felt a little uncomfortable.

Jiang Yehan turned his head and said to Ye Zhaoyan with a smile: "Miss Ye, it seems that this vulture doesn't dare to do anything to me. At Qiongshu's banquet, you should follow me closely."

Ye Zhaoyan frowned, looking into Jiang Yehan's eyes, he always felt that something was wrong.

"Miss Ye, I'll take you to the backyard to rest for a while." Seeing that Ye Zhaoyan was standing still, Jiang Yehan couldn't help urging him.

Ye Zhaoyan came back to his senses, looked at Jiang Yehan, then at the tree, hesitated, and finally followed behind Jiang Yehan.

At least get out of the immediate predicament first.

A group of people bypassed the flowers in front, walked through a bluestone path in the middle of the flowers, and walked all the way to the depths of the garden.

Walking to a fork in the road and crossing the wooden bridge, there is a wide roadside paved with stone slabs, which looks quite atmospheric.

Zhuyu and Yinger were about to follow closely when they were blocked by two attendants on the bridge, "At the VIP reception, only one person is allowed to bring one maid."

Ye Zhaoyan turned his head when he heard the words, and saw that Jiang Yehan had brought only one attendant inside, so he nodded at Zhuyu, leaving Ying'er with a worried face standing guard.

Jiang Yehan led Ye Zhaoyan forward.

Walking through the stone road, the vegetation on the road is gradually luxuriant, and there are fewer and fewer people, which is quite deserted.

Ye Zhaoyan was faintly worried.

This feeling made her feel very strange, like a person who walked into a trap, knowing that there was a trap ahead, but couldn't back down.

Ye Zhaoyan stopped, turned to look at Jiang Yehan in front of him, and asked, "Young Master Jiang, should we go in a different direction?"

"Changing direction?" Jiang Yehan asked with a smile when he heard the words: "Why change direction? Is Miss Ye worried about the danger of this road?"

Ye Zhaoyan remained silent.

She glanced at Jiang Yehan, and saw that he had a faint smile on his face, his eyes were shining, and he looked confident and confident, as if he had already seen the road ahead.

This made Ye Zhaoyan involuntarily feel curious.

Could it be that Jiang Yehan is very familiar with this place?
Seeing that Ye Zhaoyan was silent, Jiang Yehan continued to ask, "Why didn't you speak? Could it be that Ye Zhaoyan was afraid? Don't worry, there is no danger at this Qiongshu banquet, as long as you follow me closely along the way."

Ye Zhaoyan twitched his eyebrows when he heard the words, "Master Jiang, don't you think this road is too deserted?"

"This is a road specially designed for distinguished guests. Naturally, ordinary people can step in. Doesn't Miss Ye even have the courage to do so?" Jiang Yehan looked at Ye Zhaoyan with a smile on his face.

His voice was low, with a hint of bewitchment, as if it could confuse people's minds, making people want to obey his orders and carry out his orders.

Ye Zhaoyan is not an ordinary person, with a firm and clear mind, Jiang Yehan's words did not cause any waves in her.

But she could feel that if he returned the same way, Jiang Yehan would definitely not let it go.

"Since this is the case, Young Master Jiang, please lead the way."

After a while, Jiang Yehan led Ye Zhaoyan into a courtyard.

This courtyard is very elegant, surrounded by mountains and water, a pavilion surrounded by a hot spring, surrounded by a circle of pond water, planted dozens of lotus.When a gust of wind blows, the lotus blossoms are in full bloom, and the petals are falling, which is too beautiful to behold.

It's just that there is a light layer of mist rippling on the spring water, which looks a little enchanting against the white veil.

And as it got closer, a faint fragrance wafted from the pool.

Ye Zhaoyan frowned slightly, she didn't like this courtyard very much, and always felt that there was a strange atmosphere flowing in this courtyard.

Seeing Ye Zhaoyan's expression, Jiang Yehan smiled, "The name of this courtyard is Lianchi, and it is specially used to entertain distinguished guests. Every day, someone will bring wine. Today happened to coincide with Qiongshu's banquet, so I made an excuse Someone sent the wine here. How about it, Miss Ye likes it?"

Seeing the dazzling smile on Jiang Yehan's face, Ye Zhaoyan felt uneasy in her heart. Her sixth sense told her that there was an indescribable evil in this courtyard, as if it was hiding some secret.

She shook her head and said, "Young Master Jiang, this courtyard is too deserted. Instead of staying in this courtyard, I prefer to enjoy the scenery from other places."

When Jiang Yehan heard Ye Zhaoyan's words, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

He looked at Ye Zhaoyan with burning eyes, and asked, "Could it be that Ms. Ye dislikes this courtyard for being too old?"

Ye Zhaoyan shook his head and said, "Although this courtyard is a bit dilapidated, it is quiet and elegant. However, there is a faint scent of medicine inside, which really makes people uncomfortable."

Jiang Yehan couldn't help laughing when he heard Ye Zhaoyan's words, "There is indeed a medicinal scent here, but it's a kind of incense to repel mosquitoes."
