I am the seventeenth prince

Chapter 31 Chapter 031

Ladong Mountain.

A remote mountain path at the foot of the mountain, with the breeze whistling, Xiangyu standing beside the tree is like a beautiful woman, with fluttering skirts and a scabbard in her palm, her heroic spirit has a different kind of charm.

"Your Highness."

She stepped forward and helped Li Ye hold the horse's rein and tie it to the tree trunk.

The two followed this secret path up the mountain and gradually sank into the forest. Not long after that, the horse tied to the tree was also taken away by a servant.

When everything at the foot of the mountain returned to calm, there was a sound of fluttering wings in the distance, and a small bird with smart eyes flew in the distance, flew to the foot of the mountain, lingered for a while, and then went up the mountain.

A wild beast is a wild beast. Although it has the ability to track, it does not have higher judgment ability.

Li Ye returned to the yard with a cracking sound in his bones, and his body was more than an inch shorter. Just as he was about to take a step, he heard a fan flapping in his ears. He looked back at the sky because of his restless mood all the way.

"Little bird?" Li Ye said strangely.

The chasing sparrow landed on the fence, chirping, jumping and staring at Li Ye.

"What's the matter, Your Highness, it's just a little bird, it looks pretty." Xiangyu said indifferently.

In her eyes, the chasing sparrow on the wall is at most a good-looking finch, with nothing special about it.

Li Ye didn't answer her, but thought of the catcher in Diezhuang at the gate of the city, looking straight at the chasing sparrow on the wall, walking to the left and right, and when Xiangyu felt strange suddenly, he moved.

The figure is like fluttering catkins, and the speed is extremely fast. Just as the instinct of chasing the sparrow was alarmed, Li Ye's arms clamped it before it flew away.

"Your Highness?" Xiangyu asked.

Li Ye looked at the bird eyes full of spirituality, as if saying something insignificant.

"I heard that Diezhuang raises a strange bird that can smell something that ordinary people can't smell. It's called Chasing Sparrow. You take someone to pick up the guests. Be polite and invite someone to come up for a gathering."

Xiangyu nodded, tapped her toes, and leaped across the courtyard.

Not long after, Guan Lan, who was a little slower, came to the hidden path at the foot of Ladong Mountain with the help of the "Bird Hunting Insect" that was bred with the Chasing Sparrow, and according to the direction it pointed.

She looked at the majestic buildings lying on the mountain, and her face became hesitant.

To go up the mountain or not to go up the mountain?

A nominally ordinary student went from an unknown mountain path to a secluded place where the prince lived. No matter how she looked at it, she, a headhunter with a keen sense of smell, could sense something was wrong.

After a little thought, she still made a choice, not to go up the mountain, and report back to her boss.

Just as she was about to take out the emerald green flute, there was a change in the mountains, and a figure jumped out of it, and the summer courtyard guards headed by Xiangyu surrounded Guan Lan.

"It turned out to be the official arrester. Xiaoyu didn't know the official arrester was coming, so he almost neglected it. Please follow me up the mountain!"

Xiangyu raised her hand and pointed at the mountain, her eyes beckoning.

Seeing that Xiangyu and the others didn't seem to be politely inviting people up the mountain, the experienced Guan Lan couldn't help complaining.

She pulled the rein without saying anything, ready to force her way.

"Ah."

Xiangyu snorted coldly, as if giving orders, the guards who followed him down the mountain, among them Zuo Biao, who was second only to her in cultivation, burst out layers of strength from the soles of his feet, using bones as nodes, and went upward step by step.

The saber exploded, and his true energy agitated the surrounding air, forming a mountain-like coercion that descended on Guan Lan's body.

"Samurai Middle Grade."

Guan Lan felt the saber movement behind her, bit her lower lip, and the three acupoints in her body were stimulated by secret techniques, causing a burst of zhenqi comparable to a middle-rank warrior to suddenly surge in her body, which is a low-rank warrior.

The horizontal sword splits the mountain.

Pulling out the sword, pushing upwards, the true energy attached to the sword body, the swords collided with each other, and there was an explosion of gold and iron.

Guan Lan looked at the approaching figure from the corner of her eyes. The speed was so fast that she didn't even have a chance to react. The double image formed by that arm hit her acupuncture points.

She was so stiff that she couldn't move, and the strength from the sword made her body fly away from the pony. Fortunately, Zuo Biao had already controlled the strength in time, and the other guard was very tacit, and his figure jumped out, catching Guan Lan with his arms.

"woooooo"

Guan Lan, who had the Ya point pressed, couldn't speak, and if he wanted to question him, he could only whine.

"take away."

Xiangyu looked at Guan Lan, turned around and walked up the mountain without stopping.

One person was left to handle the hand tail at the foot of the mountain, and the guards behind him carried Guan Lan up the mountain.

The grand hall.

Li Ye, who had just finished washing, walked out from the passage of the apse, came to the upper part, lay down on the custom-made big chair, picked up the unique fragrant fruit from the ice cellar in Yu Chaonan with his left hand, and raised his right hand.

Seeing Li Ye's movements, Xiangyu pointed at the air and unlocked the acupuncture points on Guan Lan's body.

"Your Highness the Seventeenth, I didn't mean to offend you. I have taken the emperor's order, and I had to do it because of my duty."

When Guan Lan saw that the acupoints on her body were untied, she hurriedly begged for mercy.

She wants to make big things into small things, and small things into nothing.

Now, she just wants to get away and think about other things later.

Li Ye chewed the exotic fruit slowly, his mouth was full of fleshy aroma, with a bit of coldness, which made him, a person who prefers frozen fruit, feel much better.

He let Guan Lan talk freely without saying anything.

After Guan Lan's mouth became dry, after saying so much, Li Ye didn't respond, which made her heart sink to the bottom of the valley.

After a while, Li Ye saw that Guan Lan stopped talking, and then looked at Guan Lan with a smile in his eyes.

"Help me with errands, what do you think?"

As soon as these words came out, the anxious Guan Lan was stunned, and couldn't help but let out a cry.

"what!"

She really thought that Li Ye would say this.

Just in time, a maid walked up to the entrance of the palace. She was holding a tray with a slightly pale white jade bottle on it, opaque but with a lingering medicinal fragrance, and she came to Guan Lan.

Smelling the scent of the medicine, Guan Lan's face changed drastically. If she said that the bottle was a tonic, she wouldn't believe it even if she was killed.

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.

"You have only two ways, either do something for me, or die."

Guan Lan quickly said, "The Die Village knows my whereabouts, and my master captured the 'Green Cliff Swordsman'."

The words are not finished.

Li Ye gave Xiangyu a wink, and Xiangyu sent out another finger, passing by Guan Lan's head, a strand of hair fell from the air, and a thick death crisis descended on her body.

"You just have to tell me which way I choose, Nineteen."

As Li Ye counted down, Guan Lan's heart became colder and colder, and there was no chance of luck.

"Three two." At two o'clock, the will to survive made Guan Lan blurt out her choice.

"Help Your Highness with business."

Li Ye smiled and nodded, and the maid holding the tray began to open the jade bottle. As soon as the bottle was opened, there was a stench in the fragrance of the medicine, and a silkworm crawled out.

Its plump insect body was covered with scarlet spots, and each small tentacles had a gelatinous texture and glowed with black light. When Guan Lan saw it, his eyes were filled with unbearable fear.

"Black-footed red blood Gu, Your Highness?"

Li Ye swallowed the pulp in his mouth.

"It's good that you know each other. The poison doctor in my family likes to study some strange insects and Gu. What I don't like the most is that I force others to make things difficult for me. Since you choose to do things for me, then you should give me a guarantee, right? ?”

As he said that, he smiled, feeling that he was a bit vulgar, but he didn't feel any guilt in his heart.

It's just that his smile made Guan Lan feel extremely disgusted.

Guan Lan wanted to keep her mouth shut, but seeing Li Ye handing Xiangyu a dagger, she had to open her small lips, and there were still Gu worms in her stomach.

"Don't worry, I won't let you do something that will kill you, just report to me about Diezhuang on weekdays."

After Li Ye said something, he tilted his head to signal Xiangyu.

"Other things, you go tell her."

Xiangyu bowed slightly, then walked up to Guan Lan, helped her untie the acupoints on her body, and said, "Come with me."

Guan Lan hesitated a little, seeing the hilt of Xiangyu's sword, feeling resentful in her heart, followed Xiangyu and left the hall.

Li Ye watched Guan Lan leave.
