Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 1117 Shadow Guard Seventeen
Cang Qianche saw the trust and understanding on the faces of these two lieutenants, but also their mutual concern that is unique to men.He patted the shoulders of the two again and said, "Don't worry, I will take care."

"Yes, Chu Xiang and Chen Kuo, I would like to obey His Royal Highness's military order." The two agreed at the same time, and then watched Cang Qianche ride his horse and run all the way in the direction where Wolf King Aye ran away just now.

But looking in that direction, Chu Xiang and Chen Kuo couldn't help frowning.

Chu Xiang said: "I have only been here once, but I remember walking down that road, and there is a grassland over a mountain ridge. Chen Kuo, you have been here several times, do you know the situation over there? ?”

Chen Kuo nodded, and said: "Yes, the situation over there is much more complicated than here. Although it is a day earlier than this way, it is dangerous to pass through the grassland. And from the grassland, it is already Qingfan's territory is over."

"What?" Chu Xiang was surprised, and said, "According to the map, isn't Qingfan's land boundary to be on the other side of the grassland? Why is it already Qingfan's land boundary when you reach the grassland now?"

Chen Kuo said: "This is already a remote place in southern Xinjiang. Our people have been extremely rare as early as ten miles away. There is not a single village here for more than ten miles. As for the grassland over there, except for a piece of There is nothing but tall and covered weeds. It is impossible to grow crops, and the grassland is complicated and has many swamps that are not suitable for hunting. It has long since become a no-man's land. took it."

Chu Xiang asked anxiously: "That is to say, if you pass that path, you may meet Qingfan people before you reach the grassland?"

"That's right." Chen Kuo nodded, sighed and said, "I don't know if His Royal Highness knew about this situation in advance. And that wolf, it looks mighty and domineering, why is it running around at this time? ?”

Chu Xiang took a deep breath and said, "Then if His Royal Highness doesn't know about the situation and runs around with that wolf king alone... don't let anything happen to you."

Chen Kuo shook his head and comforted: "Maybe it's okay. Thinking about the state of His Royal Highness these past few days, he must be a hidden martial arts master. The strength of you and me may not be able to hurt him at all. In addition, doesn’t His Royal Highness still have a shadow guard? That is also a first-class master, with him secretly protecting His Royal Highness, we military generals who are only good at charging immediately don’t have to worry.”

After hearing what Chen Kuo said, Chu Xiang became even more worried, and said, "Why have I never seen the close body guard of His Royal Highness you mentioned?"

"Oh, that kind of shadow guard will not show up easily. I heard that princes and princesses who are important in the royal family will have shadow guards to protect them. The shadow guards of His Royal Highness must be different from ordinary shadow guards."

"I haven't seen it." Chu Xiang still shook his head and said, "Could it be... His Royal Highness went out to fight, and the Shadow Guard didn't come out?"

"..." Chen Kuo was also taken aback, unable to answer.To be honest, they really haven't seen where the shadow guard of His Royal Highness is.

The last ray of setting sun in the sky was disappearing on the horizon at the end of the grassland in the distance, and the surrounding area was already dark.During the day, the beauty of the waves of grass and the fragrance of wild flowers was swallowed up by the suppressed dark night.

But the scorching heat in the air in southern Xinjiang is still there, coupled with the transpiration of the puddles in the grass, Liu Ya feels that the air that is breathed into her chest and lungs is hot steam.

Along with the night came layers of oppressiveness, which made her, who was extremely alert, smell the unusual atmosphere around her.

Liu Ya had been sitting on the small slope to rest, and now she also stood up.As far as the eye can see, a little bit of fluorescent light has lit up in the grass, which is fireflies patrolling.

If it was before, under a different atmosphere, Liu Ya would like this kind of romantic mood, and would think those fireflies are cute little angels.

But now, Liu Ya watched clusters of fireflies flying up continuously, and she understood in her heart that those fireflies were likely to fly up by being alarmed.In the grass, there are still people ambushing.

With a "whoosh", a black figure appeared from behind a rock a little far behind Liu Ya, and leaped directly towards Liu Ya.

Liu Ya's heart tightened.She has been sitting here quietly, but she didn't hear anyone behind her!
Although the hiding place of that person was a little far away from where she was sitting, the fact that this person was able to hide for so long showed his superb lightness kung fu.

Liu Ya turned around quickly, and a stone in her hand flew out.

The silver needle in her hand is only suitable for close-range and small-scale attacks, so of course it is better to throw stones at long distances.

The visitor turned his head away from the stone and called out, "Miss Liu, don't get me wrong."

"Who are you?" The other stone in Liu Ya's hand did not continue to throw out, but she still looked warily at the man in black who had rushed up the small slope.

The visitor stood ten steps away from Liu Ya, stopped in order to give Liu Ya a safe reaction time, then pulled off the veil covering his face, revealing a young face, and said: "I am the secret follower of His Highness the Crown Prince's Shadow Guard, and my name is Seventeen. Under the orders of His Highness the Crown Prince, I have been keeping close to the dark place to protect Miss Liu's safety."

"Are you sent by Cang Qianche?" Liu Ya was stunned for a moment, unable to react.

Shi Qi nodded, thought for a while and took out a red, fluffy thing from his bosom, waved it in front of Liu Ya, and said: "This is a token from His Highness the Crown Prince. It is said that Miss Liu will know this when she sees this." Trust me."

When Liu Ya saw it, her heart was indeed relieved.It was a fox fur collar, which was given to Cang Qianche by Liu Ya, and it was a pair for each of them.

Liu Ya nodded, threw the stone in her hand on the ground, and signaled him to come forward.

Shiqi walked up the small slope, handed the collar in his hand to Liu Ya, and said, "Miss Liu, keep it for yourself." Then he pointed to the direction he came from just now, and said, "Follow this road for three miles. There is a small road leading to a mountain ridge. After crossing the mountain ridge and walking another [-] miles, you will reach the official road. Miss Liu will just wait there for the army of His Royal Highness to arrive."

"Let me go?" Liu Ya shook her head and said, "I can't go now. The Qingfan people have already issued an 'invitation' to me, and I want them to taste the great gift I gave."

"Miss Liu, do you know that I haven't shown up all this time, why did I come out suddenly?" Shi Qi glanced at the vast grassland in front of him, and said, "Based on my intuition, the danger here is beyond what you and I can imagine .So now I'm here to restrain Qing Fan's ambush, Miss Liu, go away."
