Xie Ruzhuo turned around and saw Xiao Junhan holding a stick in his hand. He walked straight towards the overgrown area, first used the stick to stick down, and then searched everywhere.
At this moment, Xie Ruzhuo suddenly heard the sound of water droplets. Her expression brightened and she strode towards the direction of the water flow.
"here!"
"That's it!"
The two spoke at the same time and looked at each other in surprise. Xie Ruzhuo immediately withdrew his gaze and pushed aside the patch of weeds with great effort. Sure enough, he saw a dark hole revealed inside.
Xie Ruzhuo didn't care about the danger and went inside first.
Xiao Junhan was surprised at first, and then showed admiration. This woman seemed to surprise him more and more.
Although this cave is not high, it is very slender. Xie Ruzhuo is not exactly petite, so he would bump his head if he were not paying attention while walking inside. But Xiao Junhan was not so lucky. He almost kept bending over and walking towards the inside. As long as he straightened up a little, the hard rock would cut his back mercilessly.
After coming in, Xie Ruzhuo first removed the outermost layer of weeds as they were, then tried his best to scatter some snowflakes on them, and then sat down on the inside, still holding the dagger tightly in his hand.
When you are outside, you can still rely on the moonlight in the sky, but when you get inside, you can only reach out and lose sight of your fingers.
Neither of them could see the other, but they could hear each other's uneven breathing.
Although Xiao Junhan was a little dissatisfied with the current situation, he was also somewhat unexpectedly happy. In his life, he had spent a lot of time with the girl in the house of gold and silver, but this was the first time that he had shared hardships like this.
There was the sound of water dripping, and Xie Ruzhuo wanted to take a look inside, but her body was so tired that she didn't even have the strength to move her fingers.
"Zhuo'er, do you think we share weal and woe?"
Xiao Junhan spoke softly first, trying to lighten the atmosphere.
Xie Ruzhuo closed his eyes and hit him unceremoniously, "You gave me this hard work. Do you still want me to be grateful to you?"
"I do not-"
Xiao Junhan was about to explain, but was blocked by Xie Ruzhuo, "Yes or no, His Highness knows best, why bother to humiliate yourself by saying it!"
What happened tonight was Xiao Junhan's fault, but what happened next was what made her confused.
At this moment, a burst of messy footsteps was heard outside, and he successfully suppressed what Xiao Junhan wanted to say next.
"Master, we have been searching for half a circle and still found nothing. How about we look for it tomorrow?"
The one who spoke was the masked man in black who had previously hunted down Xie Ruzhuo and the others.
Xie Ruzhuo showed a look on her face and immediately squeezed the dagger in her hand tighter. While she was trying her best to adjust her breathing and slowly restore her internal strength, she was thinking about what chance she would have of winning if these people came in.
Xiao Junhan tried hard to identify the sounds outside, but when the man's voice appeared the next moment, he was shocked.
"Tomorrow? If someone gets there first tomorrow, wouldn't it be over? It's all your idiots' fault. If we had killed people on the cliff at that time, would such a thing still happen? Trash!"
The man who spoke had a gloomy look on his face, but through the dim moonlight, he could be recognized as none other than Xiao Junyi!
Xie Ruzhuo's eyes widened immediately. She originally thought that Xiao Junyi suddenly hooked up with Xie Ruyin for some other reason. Now that Xiao Junyi appeared here, she confirmed this idea.
Is it possible that Xie Ruyin also knows what happened tonight
Xiao Junhan sat up straight. His plan was quite rigorous. How could Xiao Junyi know about it and successfully sneak people into his plan
The two of them have their own thoughts, but no one can figure out the answer.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Junyi outside solved the doubts for the two of them.
"Master, these slaves are useless. Please calm down, Master. But it's freezing outside. Master, you have a noble body. It's freezing outside, and the slaves are worried."
The man who spoke had a slightly sharp voice, as if he was a eunuch.
"What are you worried about? As long as we can get rid of Xiao Junhan today, it will be worth it for me to be sick for ten days and a half!" Xiao Junyi waved his hands nonchalantly and snorted, "It's time for Xiao Junhan to carry it electronically. If It’s not that he was lustful and wanted to set up a trap to get Xie Ruzhuo to marry him, nor would he let me seize the opportunity and pull off a trick.”
"Master, aren't you still wise and powerful?" After saying this, the man with a sharp voice yelled at the dozen or so men in black around him, "What are you doing standing still? Look for us quickly. We've found someone to clean up. Let's clean it up." Good to go back!"
Hearing this, a dozen men in black responded with a "promise" and then searched for him on the ground. It's just that the moonlight is already weak, and the road is slippery in this snowy weather, so how can it be so easy to find
After searching for a long time, the people in black found nothing here, so they had to return to Xiao Junyi and report, "Your Majesty, there is none here."
"No?"
Xiao Junyi waved his hand impatiently and said, "If there is no one here, then where will they fall? You can't live without seeing people and die without seeing corpses, right?"
The leading man in black thought about it and said, "Actually, if they fell from a height, the possibility of survival is already small. How about we go there to look for them? Judging from the way they fell, it seems that there is a chance of survival there." Be more sexual.”
When the man in black said this, the eunuch kicked him and said angrily, "Why don't you leave now? You are wasting your master's time here!"
Xiao Junyi also snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, wrapped his arms tightly, and followed the steps of the man in black and walked elsewhere.
It wasn't until the messy footsteps disappeared that Xie Ruzhuo took a long breath and leaned against the uneven wall again.
Xiao Junhan was silent for a long time. He wanted to open his mouth several times, but he didn't know what to say. His dirtiest side was exposed so nakedly, even if he wanted to argue, he was unable to do so.
It was Xie Ruzhuo who spoke first, "I always thought that the Second Prince was scheming and courageous, but it turned out that not only was the effort in vain, but he also made wedding clothes for others. It seems that my past views on the Second Prince need to be changed. That’s it.”
Although she smiled again, the sarcasm in her words was clearly visible.
"I didn't know what happened today would turn out like this. That Xiao Junyi was plotting against me behind my back. Zhuo'er, don't worry, I will definitely give you justice in this matter!"
Hearing what Xiao Junhan said, Xie Ruzhuo sneered and said with a slight smile, "Your Highness, if you want a mantis to catch a cicada, don't blame the oriole behind you. In the end, they are just a passerby!"
After all, Xiao Junhan had lost too much blood and was a little tired at this time, so he said in a hoarse voice, "No matter what, my feelings for you are always true. Zhuo'er—"
"Don't call me! What's your intention? Your intention is to put people to death and then be quick!"
Xie Ruzhuo's voice suddenly became sharp. No matter in the past life or in this life, Xiao Junhan's plot against her has never stopped!
"Zhuo'er, I just want to marry you! If you agree to marry me, I will definitely not let you down. You believe me!"
Even at this moment, Xiao Junhan was unwilling to take off his affectionate disguise. Xie Ruzhuo even wanted to peel off his skin to see if he had sewn this disguise into his flesh and bones, which was why it was so solid. .
but-
"Your Highness, Ming people don't tell secret words. Shen Jingci must have had a share of the credit for what happened today." If she guessed correctly, the person who always stood behind him must have also planned it together!
Xiao Junhan might as well suddenly mention Shen Jingci. The pretended affection on his face suddenly froze, and then he whispered, "This matter is my fault. What does it have to do with Miss Shen's family? Zhuo'er, what I care about is It’s always just you!”
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo almost gritted his silver teeth with hatred. Isn't that right? He has always used the Xie family and her. After the Xie family's power was used up, he was completely overthrown. As for her, she was not even qualified to enter the palace until her death!
However, Xie Ruzhuo didn't bother to tell Xiao Junhan these words. She just said coldly, "Your Highness, it's better to put down this thought as soon as possible. It sounds disgusting to me!"
After Xie Ruzhuo finished speaking, Xiao Junhan suddenly approached her in the dark and said in a sinister voice, "Zhuo'er, there are only two of us now."
Shen Jingci's words were still ringing in her ears. Now that he had reached this point, Xie Ruzhuo would definitely not marry him willingly when he returned. Instead of doing this, it would be better to cook the raw rice here now. As long as the matter is completed, Xie Ruzhuo can't help her even if she doesn't want to!
Xiao Junhan made up his mind, and his eyes suddenly became ferocious. He had no way out!
Xie Ruzhuo had been guarding against him, but suddenly he saw him rushing towards him. Xie Ruzhuo stood up immediately, and regardless of the danger of being discovered, he retreated to the entrance of the cave and said, "Don't you dare come here and try again!"
Xiao Junhan was stunned at first, and then he saw Xie Ruzhuo holding a shining silver dagger on his neck at the entrance of the hole through which the faint light came through!
"What are you doing?"
Xie Ruzhuo smiled coldly and said, "Your Highness, haven't you always been resourceful? Then let's take a guess. If I die here today, what will the Xie family do to you, a prince who is no longer favored?"
After hearing these words, Xiao Junhan couldn't help but put away his original fierce expression, and his tone was a little helpless, "Zhuo'er, do you have to be so extreme?"
Xie Ruzhuo ignored him and just continued, "The Xie family has maintained neutrality for so many years, but it may not last forever. Once what happened today, all the blame will be on the fifth prince. If I were you, I would definitely I will not give up a great opportunity like today to defeat my opponent. But if I die, things will change."
Xie Ruzhuo made his words so clear. If Xiao Junhan still doesn't understand, then he has learned so many years of maneuvering in vain.
Hearing this, Xiao Junhan did not go any further, but still asked unwillingly, "Zhuo'er, are you really unwilling to marry me?"
After hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo was not even willing to answer. The reason why she said these words to Xiao Junhan was actually to protect herself.
People outside are watching eagerly. If Xiao Junhan comes back again, there may be an extra chance of survival.
And the most important point is that she knows that her body has reached the point of severe overdraft. Right now, even the slightest disturbance is enough to make her fall. It is impossible to kill Xiao Junhan.
Since the other party couldn't die, she had to find a way to keep herself safe.
Seeing Xie Ruzhuo's attitude, Xiao Junhan only sighed slowly and sat down again in the cave. He has always known what is most important, but now that things are not working out, he can only figure out the next step. Moreover, what Xie Ruzhuo said just now really reminded him that without the support of the Xie family, as long as he overthrows Xiao Junyi, then only he can sit on the throne!
