In the silent mountain forest, the sound of searching suddenly sounded, and soldiers were everywhere.
Pang Zhijing hugged the tree trunk tightly and did not let go.
Just now, by going to the toilet, she sneaked away from under the eyes of the guard maid, and then climbed the nearest tree, because subconsciously, the most dangerous place is the safest place.
Looking at the soldiers coming and going back and forth, Pang Zhijing was very happy, but after counting the time, Xiao Hou should have also received the news of her escape.
This Xiao Hou is absolutely hateful. Yesterday, she managed to deceive the embroidery needles from the maids. Before she could open the lock, he found it and confiscated it, and explained that the maids should not give her any more. Except for food and clothing.
Thinking back to that time when he wanted to feed the wolf dog, she feared and hated him in her heart. It was because he was a good-looking person, and his heart was really dark! When he leaves this time, she must tie him a villain and step on it a few more times!
But she has to wait until she escapes to ascend to heaven.
She glanced at the exquisite locks on her feet and couldn't help but grimaced.
She was betting that the compass was actually being frightened by Pang Huang. She tried to wrap the bells on her feet with cloth so that no sound would be leaked. As long as the compass is useless, she will be able to escape safely if she persists for a few more days.
Just then, she heard a group of people approaching her direction.
"My lord, the princess is missing here." It was the voice of the maid who was serving her.
"Princess's foot is injured, and she can't run far. You can slowly expand the area to find it from here." Xiao Hou glanced at the place and ordered to everyone.
"Yes."
Soon you heard the voices of everyone splitting up and looking for it.
Pang Zhijing held her breath and did not dare to exhale easily, because she knew that many masters in ancient times could determine the hiding place through human breathing, but she was suffocated to death.
Xiao Hou stood under a tree not far away, looking at the jungle calmly, the guards who had left came back one by one.
"My lord, the princess was not found."
"Princess, I didn't find it either."
"… "
At this time, Chai Xingyu said, "Your Highness, you can try the compass that Prince Nancang left for you."
When Pang Zhijing heard this, she couldn't help tensing her body, why did this person speak so much!
Pang Huang's eyes brightened, and he said to Chai Xingyu with a distressed face, "That compass is just used by Prince Nancang to scare the princess, and it has no effect."
"This—" Chai Xingyu was helpless.
Pang Zhijing breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and rolled her eyes. It seemed that she had made the right bet, that the compass was bluffed by Pang Huang at all.
Xiao Hou looked at the tree where Pang Zhijing was hiding without a trace, a flash of clarity flashed in his eyes, "But—"
This success, however, made Pang Zhijing's whole heart hang.
"This king already knows the whereabouts of the princess."
As soon as the words fell, everyone's attention was attracted by Xiao Hou, and so was Pang Zhijing, but she believed that Xiao Hou was lying to her.
At this moment, Xiao Hou's gaze was precisely directed to the tree in front of him, "Princess, how long are you going to hide?"
Pang Zhijing was startled, she raised her head sharply, but met his eyes with a clear heart.
The guards followed Xiao Hou's instructions and immediately rushed over to surround the big tree.
This time, she was already beleaguered from all sides.
She looked at Xiao Hou who had walked under the tree and said angrily, "Can't you pretend that you can't see me?"
"This king can't do it." Xiao Hou spread his hands.
Pang Zhijing snorted coldly and didn't plan to pay any attention to him.
When Xiao Hou raised his hand, someone planned to climb up and bring him down.
This move made Pang Zhijing scream, "Don't come here!"
Xiao Hou smiled gently, "Is the princess going to spend the night there?"
"I'm happy!" she said stubbornly.
Xiao Hou thoughtfully said, "Then wait for the princess to get ready and when will we set off, but I heard that although there are not many beasts in this jungle, there are many reptiles, and the princess is really brave to stay here alone. ."
After he finished speaking, he turned around with his subordinates and was about to leave.
reptiles? Her first thought was the poisonous snake she saw a few days ago, and her whole body started to hair involuntarily.
"etc!"
Xiao Hou turned to look at her unexpectedly, "What else is there for the princess?"
Pang Zhijing said firmly, "Come here."
He was a little surprised by this, but he still walked over and stood still under the tree. Just as he was about to raise his head, a black figure rushed towards him.
He wanted to avoid it, but this would obviously expose the fact that he knew martial arts in front of others.
With just this flash, the person has fallen, and he looked at the person hanging on his body with a cold face, "Princess is very good!"
Pang Zhijing just wanted to give full marks to her success, but when she came into contact with him, she felt that this person exuded a cold aura, but when she looked up to see what was going on, he still had a gentle smile on his face.
"I can't help it, my foot is injured. Those guards are clumsy. I'm afraid that the wound will worsen, so I can only aggrieve you, His Royal Highness!
In fact, it was because she didn't like being touched by other men. If she had to choose one, she would rather be Xiao Hou, who was attractive. Plus, when she fell down, he was picked up by him once. In terms of safety, She still trusts him.
Xiao Hou's eyes fell on her feet, which seemed to be swollen to a higher height than before, but this was not his concern.
"In this case, the princess can go down." Xiao Hou still had a good-tempered appearance.
Pang Zhijing felt that this person looked very bullying, but if she really thought so, she probably didn't know when she was sold.
She would not admit that she was obedient because she felt the threat in his eyes.
Just before landing, after she stomped on him, she jumped to a safe area with one foot and said to him, "This is your punishment!"
After speaking, she quickly fled the scene with the help of the maid.
Xiao Hou looked at the gray footprints on his shoes, and the corners of his eyes jumped.
"Your Highness, are you alright?" Chai Xingyu dared not look at him and asked in a low voice.
"It's okay." Xiao Hou turned and left.
Chai Xingyu touched his nose and felt that such a calm prince was really scary.
At this time, Pang Zhijing was sitting beside the fire, when she saw Xiao Hou coming from a distance, she snorted and flicked the firewood in her hand as if she didn't see it. , let her hug her knees involuntarily, wanting to go home.
The person who should have passed by suddenly stood in front of her.
Pang Zhijing slowly raised her head, the confusion in her eyes disappeared quickly, and she said vigilantly, "What are you going to do? You want to take revenge just now? I can tell you that a gentleman will not do anything to a girl!"
Xiao Hou looked at her condescendingly, "I'll give you three chances."
"What?" She was a little surprised.
"If you can escape from me, I will set you free."
