Zhe Chuntang: She regretted it after provoking crazy critics of powerful officials

Chapter 42 Falling into the Trap

The further you go, the deeper the snow becomes.

Xuan Che only had a thin layer when he came in, and his footprints had already been buried.

"Wang Qi, are there any caves or similar places nearby?"

Shen Yuluo remembered that when he was a child, Xuanche would hide in a cave whenever he made a mistake, fearing that Master Lao Gu would drive him away.

Maybe he still retains this habit.

If he was really in the cave, he wouldn't be able to hear them even if they called him.

"Yes, my subordinate saw a cave when he was catching rabbits in the back mountain. It's not far away. Someone can come to it."

Wang Qi hurriedly led the way. As he spoke, he excitedly held up the torch and looked back to see Shen Yuluo behind him. However, he didn't see the road clearly and suddenly stepped on the road. He didn't know where he fell.

He screamed and the torch went out.

Shen Yuluo groped over and shouted with some fear: "Wang Qi, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

She only saw the light of the spirit star after the torch was extinguished. She could not clearly see Wang Qi's situation, and she did not dare to get too close.

A ringing voice came from below: "My subordinate is fine. Princess, please be careful. This is a trap that my subordinate dug when hunting in his spare time. I didn't expect that I fell into it."

He got up and scratched his head in embarrassment. Fortunately, he didn't put a sharp bamboo stick down there, otherwise he would have been miserable.

"See if there is any higher ground, and I will pull you up."

Shen Yuluo felt relieved when he heard that his voice was normal and he was probably not injured.

"No, no, no, your highness, please go find Mr. Xuan first. It's very slippery here. If you fall too, even ten of my subordinates' heads won't be enough to compensate you!" Wang Qi was moved and frightened at the same time, seeing that the eldest princess refused to leave. Go on and say——

"It's much warmer here than outside. There's no wind yet. It's okay to stay here all night... His Highness can just ask someone to come over with a rope to pull the subordinate out."

In fact, he was still a little dissatisfied when he came here just now. He felt that the eldest princess was going to a lot of trouble for her appearance and asked them to come to this ungrateful place on a snowy night to find someone.

But now his dissatisfaction has dissipated.

He even felt that if the missing person was not Mr. Xuan, but an ordinary guard like him, the eldest princess would definitely come looking for him.

"Okay, then be careful."

Shen Yuluo placed the lantern nearby so that when she looked back, she could see that she still had a torch in her hand.

"Your Highness, please be careful too."

Wang Qi looked at the bean-like fire above, and his heart suddenly felt warm.

He didn't know when the eldest princess started to change, but he didn't want to go into details, so that was good.

Shen Yuluo followed the direction Wang Qi pointed just now and walked forward step by step.

The raised torch vaguely illuminated the shadow of the cave in front. She quickened her pace and shouted: "Xuan Che! Xuan Che, are you in there?"

It was pitch dark inside the cave, and a shadow moved.

"Your Highness, I am here."

When Xuan Che came out, he was almost too cold to speak. He wanted to salute, but found that his legs and feet were stiff and he couldn't bend down at all.

He didn't expect that someone would find him in the snow, and that person was the eldest princess, so he was even more ashamed.

It was originally because he was not a good protector and was not capable of avenging her. He was really afraid that she would be angry and that she would drive him away, so he quickly punished himself so that she would calm down when she woke up.

When he came out of Yaowang Valley, he didn't think about surviving, because the little girl was gone, and he had nothing to look forward to.

But the eldest princess detoxified him, took him in, learned martial arts with him, and praised him every day for his greatness.

He didn't want to leave the princess mansion.

Now that the eldest princess was awake, not only was she not calm, but she seemed even more angry. He was afraid.

"Is there something wrong with your mind? Huh?" Shen Yuluo held a torch to see clearly the person in front of him, and almost vomited blood in anger.

This man went crazy and ran out into the snow, he didn't even have a shirt on!

To be honest, he has a good figure, with a strong and smooth chest, a wide back and a narrow waist, and a few muscles in his abdomen that are neither thick nor thin.

But now is not the time to appreciate male lust, even touching her can't offset the anger in her heart!
"I'm...sorry."

Xuan Che was almost crying. He was shivering from the cold, and his voice was trembling when he spoke, which sounded extremely pitiful.

Seeing Shen Yuluo's dark face, he took out a short knife from behind and handed it to her hand: "Hit me, don't, don't drive me away."

It's because he is too weak and useless.

Shen Yuluo took the unsheathed dagger and hit him hard: "You really should be beaten! When did I say that I will drive you away? You are self-righteous and self-righteous! Do you know that this will kill someone? !”

How could she not be angry that he was so contemptuous of the life she had finally saved?

Being able to live well with his own body is such a blessing, and he doesn't know how to cherish it.

"No, don't drive me away?"

Xuan Che's shoulder was completely red after being hit, but he didn't even frown. Instead, he grinned with small white teeth.

As long as you don't drive him away, you can beat or scold him in any way you want.

He has no relatives or friends in this world. The old Valley Master took him in out of kindness, but he still disliked him. He could feel it.

Everyone else in Yaowang Valley regarded him as a monster, and he didn't want to go back.

"Huh, your life was saved by me. It's a good idea to drive you away. Didn't I say that I would let you serve as a secret guard for two years?"

Seeing his stupid look, Shen Yuluo couldn't get angry anymore.

She should have thought that this person's brain has been different from others since he was a child, and she cannot use normal people's thinking to speculate on him.

Unexpectedly, the man shook his head.

"What? Have you repented?"

Shen Yuluo's eyes widened, and his head was full of doubts. He wasn't very fierce just now.

"One, always, protect you."

Xuan Che waved his hand again, he meant that for more than two years, he was willing to be her secret guard and listen to her orders.

He was originally not good at words, and his upper and lower teeth were chattering due to the cold, which made it even more difficult to speak. He was so anxious that he wished he could sign.

"Humph, are you still protecting me like this? Don't freeze yourself to death first. Let's go and go back quickly. There are still a lot of things to do."

Shen Yuluo also smiled, took off his cloak and threw it over, hoping to put it on him to keep him warm.

"I'm not cold, so you can wear it."

Xuan Che walked over and put the cloak on Shen Yuluo again.

He had been frozen for such a long time, and he still had internal strength to protect his body. He could still survive the cold if he walked back, but the cold wind cut him like a knife, which hurt a little.

But he didn't care about the cold, pain, or anything. Instead, he excitedly asked, "What's the matter? Can I help?"

As long as he feels that he is still useful, he is happy.

He was afraid that she would think that he was stupid and not as smart as Pei Yan.

"Oh, yes. Wang Qi, the one who is more heartless than you, fell into the trap of his own making. Let's go and catch him."

When Shen Yuluo saw that he was unwilling to wear it, he didn't force it. She deserved to let him freeze for a while to see if he would be so stupid next time.
