stern wife

Chapter 488 Missed the opportunity
I poked forward with my feet, and the river was not very deep, only about her chest.

After adapting to the freezing temperature, Pei Xiaoran took two steps forward with confidence, then soaked the cloth towel he brought, and began to wipe his body quickly.

Seeing this scene, the figure who had been following in the dark quickly turned around, his handsome face was quietly stained with red.

The sound of splashing, splashing water continuously spread into the ears, like a kitten's claws, constantly scratching the apex of people's hearts.

Maybe it was because he was in a hurry to wash and go ashore to get dressed, Pei Xiaoran didn't notice his feet slipping for a moment, and fell backwards uncontrollably.

Even though she had excellent skills and quick reactions, she still couldn't grab something she could rely on in time when there was nothing but water around her, so she could only resign herself to her fate and plunged into the water.

The cold river water immediately rushed into her nasal cavity, and the feeling of suffocation was overwhelming in an instant.

Pei Xiaoran immediately struggled desperately, she didn't want to die naked in this river, she would lose her life!
And because she drowned herself in the bath... This method of death also seemed too stupid for her!

The sound of splashing, splashing water immediately became louder, something was wrong, the person hiding in the dark turned around in a bad mood, and his face suddenly changed in shock!

But before he could start to move, another figure was already one step ahead of him, quickly flew past him, and rushed towards the person in the river.

Just when Pei Xiaoran fell into the deep water, thinking that he was going to die, something stuck behind him, and then his armpits tightened, and he was fished out of the water.

The man dragged her ashore non-stop, then knelt down on one knee, let her lean on his lap, and patted her back vigorously with one hand.

After a few strokes, Pei Xiaoran began to cough vigorously with a 'poof', and the river water that had been choked was also coughed out.

The man hiding in the dark had already brought back all the clothes for her, took out the clean clothes she had prepared for himself from the bag, and put them on her body without daring to look around, and then looked worried. Stay aside.

Pei Xiaoran gradually regained her sanity, and after finally coughing up all the water she had swallowed, she finally felt better.

Raising her teary eyes, she was really in a panic at this moment, not to mention dripping all over, and her face was covered with tears that were forced out when she was coughing.

However, this pitiful little appearance is absolutely rare for her on weekdays, and the other two were stunned for a while.

Pei Xiaoran didn't notice anything, only felt that the tears blurred his vision, so he raised his hand to wipe it away, only then did he see clearly who rescued her.

"Zhang, Zhang San?"

Zhang San nodded, and asked with a serious face:

"How does Miss Pei feel?"

Pei Xiaoran gave a wry smile and said:
"Thank you for your timely rescue. I was lucky enough to escape death, and I'm fine now."

Suddenly remembered something, Pei Xiaoran quickly looked down, but found that he was already wrapped in clothes, so he quickly tightened his clothes, and said in embarrassment:
"That... please avoid it for a while, I want to put on my clothes first."

Then he turned his head and said viciously to the other person:

"And you! I'll settle your account with you later!"

That person was none other than Zhang Zeqing who did not listen to her words and insisted on following, mixed in with the soldiers, happened to see her slipping out of the camp tonight, and secretly followed her in fear that something might happen to her.

Zhang Zeqing pursed his lips, turned and avoided.

Zhang San helped her up, and followed her away.

Pei Xiaoran secretly cursed himself for being careless a few times, then quickly put on the clothes, and packed all the changed clothes into the bag and tied them up.

She didn't bring many clothes when she went out, but she couldn't lose any of them.

After she was fully dressed, she gave a low cough and said:
"I'm fine. Zhang San stays here, I have something to tell you, Zeqing, you go back first."

Zhang Zeqing frowned slightly, and glanced at the man named Zhang San, but stood still.

Pei Xiaoran frowned slightly, and said:
"Why, are you planning to never listen to my words again?"

Zhang Zeqing clenched his lower lip, looked at Zhang San worriedly, and then walked away in three steps.

After he left, Pei Xiaoran looked at Zhang San, and suddenly showed a big and bright smile that made people let down their guard unconsciously.

Pei Xiaoran smiled and said:
"Da Yin's disguise technique is not bad~"

Zhang San subconsciously said:
"That is."

After a pause, he realized what he said. Zhang San immediately looked down, lowered his head, and said, trying to cover up:
"Subordinate...I don't know what Miss Pei is talking about..."

"Still pretend!"

The bright smile on the small face disappeared in the blink of an eye, Pei Xiaoran snorted coldly, and said:
"It's embarrassing for His Royal Highness Li, a majestic prince, who is wronged and pretends to be a subordinate, and even travels all the way to be my personal bodyguard. Little girl, what, what, what, can?"

Pei Xiaoran has always been curious, after all, according to His Royal Highness Li Wang's wealth, if he really wanted to send someone to protect her, it would be impossible to send only one, right?

Now finally found the answer.

It turned out that that person was none other than His Royal Highness Li Wang himself!
Zhang San, no, Baili Lieyuan saw that she couldn't hide it anymore, so she simply stopped hiding it, let go of her voice that had been deliberately lowered, and asked with a smile:
"It's not bad, you can recognize this king unexpectedly, it's not in vain that this king has traveled thousands of miles to be your bodyguard, but, can you tell me how you recognized him?"

Baili Lieyuan inspected herself and found that her disguise had been flawless. How did the little hedgehog recognize him?
Pei Xiaoran sneered, but refused to explain, only saying:
"Your Highness, guess it yourself!"

She will not tell the other party where the other party's flaws are, lest she will not be able to recognize the other party's disguise next time.

In fact... If she hadn't choked on the water and given the two of them a chance to get in close contact, Pei Xiaoran might not have recognized each other.

But as soon as the two got close, the faint and familiar fragrance from the other person revealed everything.

It seems that when His Royal Highness Li Wang was dressing up in disguise, he only remembered to change the middle coat and outer coat, and did not change the inner garment that was contaminated by the fragrance.
However, it is undeniable that when she smelled that familiar fragrance, she suddenly became extremely at ease, and the fear and panic of passing by death disappeared in an instant.

Baili Lieyuan frowned, but couldn't understand it.

He didn't bother to think about it anymore, but his expression changed, the topic changed, and he asked Pei Xiaoran instead:

"This king came all the way to be your subordinate, who caused it?! This king knows that you want to be a heroine with a sword, but there is no need to be so anxious, right? How old are you? Just go there in a hurry Going to the battlefield, where do you think it is? Don’t think that you can win a battle with a little talent and cleverness, fighting a war is not as simple as you think!"
