Chapter 138: Prince's people are here
Chapter 138 The prince's people are here
The distant mountain is hidden in the heavy rain under the night, like a huge beast that has been dormant for a long time.
The night sky was suddenly split by a flash of lightning, and then the thunder rolled like a thousand troops, and the rain became heavier and heavier.
As the wind howled, Ruan Youqing stood at the door of the dilapidated house and looked out, his eyes full of worry.
She doesn't remember...it was raining when Li Yi brought her here.
But soon, she dismissed some absurd thoughts by herself.
There are still two days left before the day on the stone gate, maybe the rain will stop when the sky is bright.
Because the big tree outside the house made a big hole out of the house, so even if you stay inside the house, you can still hear the pattering rainwater flowing into the house along the branches and leaves of the big tree.
Fortunately, the hole is on the east side of the house, so they can hide and wait on the west side for the time being.
With an extra fan this time, Ruan Youqing can lean on her side and close her eyes for a nap.
But Gu Changan on the side had a very bad complexion. If it wasn't for Fan... his little fox would be snuggling up to him now!
Although he was very unhappy, he couldn't blame anything.
It was a peaceful night. After the sky became brighter, the rain only became smaller and did not stop.
Just when everyone was about to go down to the crack to take a look, Wang Feng suddenly came in and reported to Gu Changan very fast:
"Master, my subordinates and Tianwen saw a group of people arrive at the entrance of the village, and the person who took the lead... is the one the prince left behind at Jingbian."
"Yu Xing?" Gu Changan frowned and continued, "Did you see the prince?"
"I haven't seen it." Gan Gu answered with a sullen face.
Gu Chang'an nodded and ordered: "Go and issue a code to Tianwen to order him to continue to wait carefully. You will go down into the crack with us."
"yes."
Without waiting for Gu Changan to continue speaking, Ruan Youqing, who heard the news, took a fan and quickly cleaned up the traces of them last night.
In fact, there were not many things, only the ashes of the fire, but Ruan Youqing still carefully cleaned up all the things.
Looking at Ruan Youqing's actions, Gu Changan felt a little upset for some reason.
A "delicate" lady who stays in the capital all year round, why is she so proficient in this kind of thing....
He didn't suspect anything else, he just felt a little distressed.
Ruan Youqing moved really quickly, and after a while, the room was restored to its previous appearance.
Because the group of them has been paying attention to not staying here with much fanfare when they came, so...it's not too difficult to clean up.
At this moment, a sharp bird call suddenly sounded outside the house. Gu Changan heard it, and immediately said with a cold face: "Go down quickly, they will be here soon."
Although Li Qian and Yu Xie are not very skilled, they are enough to obey the command of the capable person.
Although Li Qian is the second prince of Ningguo, he has never been dissatisfied with Gu Changan's behavior of giving orders.
On the contrary, he is enjoying it.
Someone worries about him, he just needs to trust.
Not long after the group went down to the gap, they heard orderly footsteps from above.
Then, they heard Yu Xing's voice:
"It looks like...they probably haven't discovered this place yet. His Highness will arrive early tomorrow morning. We must prepare everything here and wait for His Highness to arrive."
After everyone agreed in good order, someone whispered, "Boss, should we go down into the crack to have a look..."
"You don't want to die, kid?" Yu Xing changed from his calmness just now, and there was obviously a hint of irritability and a tremor he didn't notice in his voice.
Ruan Youqing looked at the surrounding environment with a gloomy face, feeling inexplicably anxious.
If it wasn't for the sudden arrival of this pedestrian, they wouldn't have run down here to hide.
Because of this kind of environment, it will always make people feel timid.
It's just... She is very curious about what is on the stone gate...
Yu Xing didn't have much contact with this person, but when he met in court that day, Ruan Youqing generally understood that he was a sinister and cunning old man.
The thing that makes him keep secret...what is it...
Didn’t reach that time to touch the stone gate...
What exactly will happen...
The movement above gradually became smaller, and Ruan Youqing could hear that they were already preparing to rest.
"Maybe you can tell how many of them there are?" At this moment, Gu Changan suddenly approached her ear and asked in a very low voice.
Actually...he didn't really want to know how many people the others brought.
He just wanted to get close to his little fox and have a conversation.
Ruan Youqing looked back at him, and replied in a solemn voice:
"About thirteen or four people. If the other party is not a super expert, you and I can do it... No, I can do it myself. You don't have to worry about it."
"It's not... I... Eh? Can you really hear it?" Gu Changan's expression was very complicated.
Ruan Youqing just nodded and didn't say anything more.
Gu Changan, who always felt that he had extraordinary skills, was hit for the first time.
Although his skill is really good.
But he still can’t tell how many people there are from the other party just by the voice alone…
It's not that his hearing is worse than Ruan Youqing's, but that this kind of thing requires special training.
After thinking about who taught Ruan Youqing, Gu Changan felt that it should be taken for granted.
After there was no movement from above, Ruan Youqing and the others also tried their best to stay as still as possible, sitting or standing waiting.
Even Ruan Youqing felt a little upset, what the **** were they waiting for here.
Because the six of them had been hiding in the shadow beside the stone steps for almost a whole day, everyone seemed a little restless.
Especially Li Qian, although he usually treats people gently and kindly, but after physical friction with people is inevitable in this environment, he starts to feel a little uncomfortable.
It's not that he considers himself noble, but that some people don't like to have any physical contact with others by nature.
But just when he was about to move his body and take two steps away, Ruan Youqing grabbed him and put his finger on his mouth to signal him not to speak.
And at this moment, someone seemed to be coming down from the crack.
It's just that the other party didn't use fire to fold...
Presumably...
Did you sneak down for a walk out of curiosity?
The person who came down could not help but mutter in a low voice while groping for the stone steps and walking down cautiously:
"Boss is really careful, didn't they just die a few people. Look at those who have never seen the world. If it weren't for their poor skills, how could they die in front of that stone gate? It's just a stone gate, and they can still live Can you come and eat people?"
As he spoke, he had already walked in front of Ruan Youqing and the others.
Gu Changan just wanted to make a move, but was stopped by Ruan Youqing. She shook her head, looked at the man, and then at the shadow where they were.
Although the other party didn't speak, Gu Changan still understood.
After quietly lowering the attacking hand, everyone almost held their breath, completely hiding themselves in the shadows.
If the other party didn't look back with the fire folder, they really wouldn't be able to find that there was someone hiding beside the stone steps.
I saw that the man swaggered past, but he didn't stop at a distance like Ruan Youqing and the others did last time.
Even when he saw the dozen or so corpses, he was only stunned for a moment before continuing to walk forward.
