Want to tease the prince, the cat is soft and delicate

Chapter 121 Crisis 4 lurks

Two miles away from the bamboo forest, there is a gurgling stream. Over the stream stands a uniquely shaped wooden bridge that extends into the depths of the forest.

In the cover of night, a thatched cottage is hidden in the darkness of the bamboo forest, with only two lanterns in front of the door emitting a faint green light.

Two sounds of breaking wind were heard, and in the blink of an eye two men in black appeared in front of the hut.

The two of them looked around and then knocked on the door.

There was a sound of cups and plates inside the house, and then the door was opened, and a man in a Taoist robe appeared in the field of vision.

"what happened?"

One of the men in black replied in a hoarse voice: "They found the fragments of the magic weapon that suppressed the formation, and have sent people to break the formation and look for the fragments."

The man in the Taoist robe was surprised: "How did he find out?"

Another man in black said, "Perhaps the fragments of the magic weapon were not buried properly. That person was very perceptive and must have noticed the difference in the fragments and guessed it."

"No, it might be a trick." The man in Taoist robe decided to wait and see.

But the man in black immediately took out something and snorted, "This insect broke our formation and was about to go to the capital to report the news, but I intercepted it. Didn't you say that the formation was foolproof? A mere insect was able to find the place to break the formation and ruin the master's plan. Do you know the consequences?"

Seeing the poisonous insect in the black-clothed man's hand, the man in Taoist robe looked obviously unhappy.

"You said this insect broke my formation? It passed five levels and killed six generals. There are three major formations outside the five small formations. This insect can escape the small ones, but not the big ones, unless..."

More than one.

The man in Taoist robes trembled suddenly, turned back into the house, took the magic weapon on the table and walked out.

The two men in black followed closely behind, not understanding why: "But something happened!"

The man in the Taoist robe had an unpleasant look on his face. He lowered his head and walked forward without saying a word.

The two men in black were obviously hot-tempered. Seeing that the man in Taoist robes ignored them, they immediately flew forward to block his way: "If anything happens, we need to report to the master. We must not act on our own."

"You two idiots." The man in the Taoist robe gritted his teeth and cursed: "Look at the poisonous insect in your hand, it's a real poisonous insect!"

Upon hearing this, the man in black immediately took out the insect, but he didn't notice anything wrong.

The man in Taoist robe snatched the insect from his hand and threw it directly into the water under the bridge.

The poisonous insect melted as soon as it touched the water, and turned into a piece of paper and flowed away with the stream.

"What's going on!" The two men in black looked at each other.

The man in the Taoist robe sneered and walked past them towards the bamboo forest of the formation: "It's just a little trick. The one you stopped was just a fake one, and the other poisonous insects may have died in the formation when they broke through it."

"But if one fish came out, it means there are still some fish that slipped through the net."

"You have been deceived. I am afraid that the real poisonous insects have already flown to the capital. Once their reinforcements arrive, they will forcibly break the Three Mysterious Techniques. My death is a small matter, but your master may also be implicated."

Upon hearing this, the two men in black flew up and were five meters away in the blink of an eye: "Then why are you still hesitating? Come and help us kill Xuanyuan Che."

The Taoist robe man's face changed slightly. He did not respond but did not refuse either. He flew after them and took advantage of the night to speed up towards the bamboo forest where Xuanyuan Che was.

Mei Susu and Zuo Qingxian left Yongning Palace and walked through the long blue brick road. It was getting dark, but Zuo Qingxian had no intention of stopping.

Mei Susu stopped and looked at his back: "We have left Yongning Palace. You can speak now."

Zuo Qingxian shook his head: "This place is still dangerous, I know a place that is absolutely safe."

"I won't go." Mei Susu took a step back and looked at him warily: "How do I know if you have other intentions? You are a Taoist priest and I am a monster. If you have evil intentions, how can I escape?"

"The question I asked you is not that difficult to answer. Why can't I ask it here?"

Zuo Qingxian was smiling at first, but when Mei Susu said these words, his smile disappeared completely. His eyelids were half-closed, and his expression was gloomy and unclear.

"If I say I am doing this to protect you, can you believe me?"

"What?" Mei Susu almost believed it because Zuo Qingxian's expression was too serious.

If it were in the past, she would have believed him, but now he was not trustworthy to Mei Susu.

"Zuo Qingxian, you know I won't believe you."

"I know." Zuo Qingxian curled the corners of his mouth, with a hint of sadness all over his body.

"I know I have betrayed your trust, but Susu, you have to believe that I will never hurt you."

Zuo Qingxian raised his eyelids and looked at Mei Susu: "Didn't you want to help Xuanyuan Che win the favor of Emperor Shunde last time by the lake? I am willing to be the bad guy and help you at the risk of being beheaded. Everyone can doubt me, but you cannot doubt me."

Well, actually, it makes sense when you listen to it.

Mei Susu was stunned for a moment.

Zuo Qingxian was indeed trying to help her, but...that's where the problem lies.

She is not a child who can be fooled by just a few words. Following that cunning fox Xuanyuan Che all day long, she must learn a little from him.

"You just happened to appear by the lake that day, and happened to run into me, and happened to help me. One coincidence is a coincidence, but every coincidence is planned. Did you want to help me, or did you want to take this opportunity to kill me and silence me? Only you know in your heart."

Mei Susu's eyes were clear, but she looked at Zuo Qingxian with disappointment: "Zuo Qingxian, since I saved your life, can you tell me the truth?"

Except for the sound of the wind, the world was so quiet that it seemed as if only the two of them were left.

The wind blew up Zuo Qingxian's white robe, and he began to laugh.

As the wind grew stronger, his laughter gradually grew louder.

Mei Susu saw that he was laughing so hard that tears welled up in the corners of his eyes and he was bent over with laughter. She frowned slightly, not understanding what he was laughing at.

After laughing, Zuo Qingxian stopped pretending: "Susu, Susu, I never thought you were so smart."

"Yes, it was not a coincidence last time. This time, I came here to find you on purpose."

really……

Mei Susu's heart sank, and she unconsciously took another step back: "You are lying to me, why?"

"Because I want to protect you." Zuo Qingxian wiped away the tears on his face, his eyes dark and frightening: "Because I want to protect you, Susu."

Mei Susu suddenly pinched the hem of her skirt.

It’s this sentence again…

"Those people searched the entire imperial city for me. Do you know that if Emperor Shunde hadn't fallen into the lake that day, if the emperor hadn't dug deep underground to look for me, and if the palace hadn't set up a dragnet, those people would have already entered the palace, and you wouldn't have been able to escape."

"They are crazy. They will do anything for that position. If they find out about you, will you have a peaceful life?"

"I have transformed now, and they can't detect my existence." Mei Susu replied in a loud voice.

Koi gave her the elixir to speed up her transformation, also because he was afraid that those people would enter the palace one day.

According to Koi, as long as she changed her human form, those people would not be able to discover her true identity.

But now, when she looked at Zuo Qingxian, it seemed that was not the case.
