Help! The innocent prince always tries to seduce me clumsily
Chapter 72: Escape from the Tiger's Mouth, Golden Flower Stained with Blood
Chu Shihan immediately chased after him, reprimanding him in a stern tone.
"Why did you come to such a dangerous place by yourself!"
When Princess Linglan saw Chu Shihan's worried look on her face, her heart had already melted into a piece of soft cotton.
"Don't worry, the rocks here are still very stable."
She stretched out her hand to Chu Shihan and said, "If you hold me, I will be fine, right?"
Chu Shihan looked at the slender hand, was silent for a moment, and finally reached out and held her.
It was also at this moment that Chu Shitong's eyes, as cold as cold tea, saw the somewhat shy sweet smile on Linglan's face through a cold filter of the fight for the throne.
Princess Linglan's hands moved restlessly in Chu Shihan's hands, "Your Highness Prince Han, why are there calluses on your hands? Do you work very hard? But I only see you holding a brush and a book every day, and I've never seen you wielding a sword or a gun."
Chu Shihan's ears turned red, and he pretended to be serious and said, "If you want to pull it, just pull it. Why are you touching it? It's getting late. Pick the flowers quickly!"
"Okay, okay, I got it."
Princess Lily of the Valley then moved step by step towards the outside of the cliff.
Even when I moved to the very edge, I still couldn’t reach the lily of the valley.
The piece of white wood was among the rocks at the edge of the cliff, farther away from the edge of the cliff, and the golden flowers were blooming on that piece of white wood.
Princess Lily of the Valley stretched out her hand with great effort to grab it, but it was still some distance away.
"Your Highness Prince Han, please move a little further out. I can't reach you."
Chu Shihan said: "No, it might be dangerous if we go any further."
"Let's take a walk."
No matter how Linglan acted coquettishly, Chu Shihan did not agree.
Seeing the flowers right in front of her, Linglan was unwilling to give up, so she shouted to Chu Shitong who was not far away.
"Your Highness Prince Qi, please come and help me. I am almost there."
Chu Shitong was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his hand.
"See Shadow."
A figure immediately appeared from behind.
"Your Highness."
Chu Shitong would never do such a dangerous thing.
She ignored the two people with frozen expressions on the cliff, pointed at the golden flower over there, and asked, "Can you pick that flower?"
Jianying lowered his head and said, "Your subordinate can do it."
Chu Shitong said: "Then go ahead."
"Yes."
Chu Shihan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the secret guards coming. He exerted force with his hands and pulled Princess Linglan over.
"Since Xiao Qi asked the secret guards to pick them, Princess should not do such dangerous things."
Princess Lily of the Valley's mind was not on the flowers at all, but on the hands of the two men who had not yet let go.
Her face was slightly red, she held her hands and said nothing.
Chu Shihan also realized that his hand had not been released yet, and subconsciously felt that something was wrong, so he was about to let go, but Princess Linglan took the initiative to grab his hand.
Chu Shihan's body stiffened.
Lily of the Valley raised her head, the orange-gold light of the setting sun shone on her pretty face. A strand of her thick, curly hair fell beside her ear. Her brows were relaxed and gentle, and her eyes were filled with cautious yet bold love.
"Your Highness, will you marry me?"
Chu Shihan stood there in a daze, and his face, which had been expressionless for years, seemed to finally show a crack at this moment.
Linglan waited quietly for his answer.
Chu Shihan wanted to say something but stopped himself. Looking at those eyes that were full of love and expectation, the answer in his heart was like a lump in his throat and he couldn't utter it.
The stalemate was finally broken until Jianying picked the flowers in a short time and brought them to the two of them.
"Your Highness, the flowers are here."
Linglan didn't get an answer for a long time, and the atmosphere was broken by Jianying, so she lowered her head embarrassedly.
However, when Chu Shihan saw the flowers, he subconsciously withdrew his hand.
He took the flowers and continued in silence.
After giving the flowers, Jianying returned to Chu Shitong again.
Chu Shitong said: "There is nothing for you to do now, go down."
Jianying's figure disappeared again behind him.
In order to ease the atmosphere, Princess Linglan took the initiative to say, "Your Highness Prince Han, please make a bracelet for me."
Chu Shihan responded woodenly and began to weave stiffly.
His movements were very slow and absent-minded. Normally, he could finish weaving a bracelet within a cup of tea, but now it took him the time of an incense stick to complete it.
When Chu Shihan put the bracelet on Linglan and was finally ready to tell her the answer in his mind, when he saw Princess Linglan's eyes sparkling with stars, he chose to remain silent.
"I knew it, such beautiful flowers would look really good if they were made into a bracelet."
Lily of the Valley looked at the bracelet and was extremely satisfied.
"I think they are all more beautiful than His Royal Highness's longevity lock."
Chu Shitong, who had been sitting on a stone not far away and resting for half a day, said, "The longevity lock of the prince is still more beautiful."
Princess Linglan covered her mouth and laughed, "That's different. This bracelet was made for me by His Royal Highness Prince Han."
Chu Shitong smiled slightly and nodded. Seeing Chu Shihan standing next to Princess Linglan, unable to speak, he could only sigh helplessly.
In the previous life, Princess Lily of the Valley's marriage did not happen at this time.
As far as I can remember, when the Western Regions sent someone to marry the princess in my previous life, it was already the last few years of the fight for the throne. At that time, only Chu Shitong and Chu Shixuan were left in the court. The one sent by the Western Regions to marry the princess was not Linglan. Perhaps Linglan had already died in the Western Regions in my previous life. But because they couldn't find a suitable candidate, the marriage was not successful.
Chu Shitong always thought that everything he did in this life would only affect himself, but he didn't expect it would also affect the Western Regions.
But Chu Shitong felt that something was wrong. It must be that his changes had caused a chain reaction to other things, which caused the marriage to the Western Regions to be brought forward.
Suddenly, Chu Shitong felt some movement beside him.
I turned around and saw Ying coming back without knowing when.
"Why are you back?"
"Your Highness." Jianying approached her and whispered, "Two tigers appeared not far away. They are huge in size. They seem to have set their sights on the three horses tied to the tree."
Just as Jianying finished his words, a loud neighing of a horse suddenly broke out not far away!
Chu Shihan and Princess Linglan also heard it. They realized something was wrong and immediately ran towards Chu Shitong.
Chu Shihan asked, "What's wrong, Xiaoqi? Did your secret guard find anything?"
Chu Shitong said slowly, "Yes, it seems that two tigers have set their sights on our horses."
Princess Lily of the Valley then started to panic.
"What should we do? Can we call the Royal Guards to come and catch the tiger?"
Chu Shihan pursed his lips and said, "The forest is prone to fire, so you can't bring signal smoke when you enter the forest. Do you have anything else that can make a sound? Maybe it can attract the Imperial Guards."
Not far away, there were waves of neighing of horses and low howling of tigers. Princess Lily of the Valley was a little scared.
"I didn't bring it. Did you bring it, Your Highness?"
"No."
Chu Shitong sat on the stone, not at all flustered.
Princess Linglan asked: "Why is His Royal Highness Prince Qi so calm?"
Chu Shitong said: "Because my secret guard is here, she can take me away, but her physical strength is limited, so she can only take me away."
Are you kidding? Could Chu Shitong put himself in danger?
As long as there weren't thousands of troops, a shadow would be enough to rescue her from this situation.
Princess Linglan said hurriedly: "Why don't you let the secret guards take you out, and then you go find the Royal Guards and come back to save us."
Chu Shitong thought this was a good idea, so he asked the secret guards to take him away, and then he would find a place to rest for a while. After the tiger had eaten Chu Shihan and Princess Linglan, he would go find the Royal Guards.
Jianying interrupted at this time: "Your Highness, it is almost impossible to get down from the cliff. We can only go back to the place where we tied the horse just now to take you away."
Chu Shitong: “…”
She stood up and said, "Let's do this for now, let's go over and see what's going on."
......
In the mountains and forests.
When the four of them reached the road they had just come from, they saw that all three horses had been bitten to death. There were large patches of bright red blood among the flowers and plants on the ground, and the pungent smell of blood was overwhelming.
If they hadn't been tied to the tree with reins, perhaps they would have been able to run away.
The two tigers were really huge, and they were obviously adult male tigers. They were lowering their heads to bite through the horses' stomachs and then eating their internal organs. When they noticed the movement, they actually looked in the direction of the four people.
This is a separate path leading up to the cliff. The cliff is covered with gravel. It seems to be an intersection and the only direction leading to the forest. There are cliffs on both sides. It would be very dangerous to go down from here, let alone bring another person with you.
It would certainly be impossible for Chu Shitong to let Jianying go alone to report the news at this time. Once Jianying left, who knew whether Chu Shihan would kick him directly in front of the tiger.
Princess Linglan hid behind Chu Shihan in fear and said, "Such a big tiger... can you still walk?"
Chu Shitong looked at the two tigers that were strong enough to bite off his neck, and said frankly, "I guess I can't leave."
There are tigers in the mountains and forests, but I have never seen such a big tiger.
There were bows and arrows originally, and when they came to the cliff, the bows and arrows were placed next to the horse.
There was a piece of bright red flesh and blood there. I guess I would never be able to get it.
Chu Shitong asked, "Jianying, can you beat him?"
Jianying was silent for a moment, then said, "No."
"One only?"
"It should be... a little bit uncertain."
Jianying is also a woman. Apart from Ji Shu, Chu Shitong rarely has men as his subordinates.
Even if Jianying is capable of assassination and has great martial arts skills, if he really fights two tigers, there is no telling how he will die.
Chu Shitong said, "Forget it then."
The two tigers let go of the internal organs they had torn out of their mouths, and looked towards Chu Shitong with blood in their mouths, as if they were ready to attack.
Chu Shihan silently stood in front of Princess Linglan and Chu Shitong. It seemed that at this moment, his figure seemed a little taller in Chu Shitong's eyes.
"Third brother, just protect the princess and don't worry about me."
Chu Shihan said, "I am the elder, how can I ignore the younger generation?"
Princess Lily of the Valley looked left and right, and finally saw a piece of wooden stick not far away. She turned around and wanted to take the stick for Chu Shihan to protect himself.
Perhaps it was her sudden movement that made the two tigers think that they were going to attack or escape, and the next moment the two tigers rushed towards the four people!
The tiger's mouth was so bloody! The white fangs were covered with minced meat and blood!
Jianying pushed Chu Shitong away, drew out his long knife and chopped at the tiger!
The tiger dodged the attack with extremely quick reaction, and Chu Shitong was fortunate enough not to suffer any substantial harm.
It seemed that the tiger had set its sights on Jianying, who posed a greater threat, and was chasing her, attacking and biting her fiercely!
Jianying shouted in the gap between dealing with the tiger: "Your Highness! Go!"
Chu Shitong subconsciously took out the dagger from his waist and responded. In the blink of an eye, the tiger on Chu Shihan's side pounced towards Chu Shitong again.
Chu Shitong turned around and dodged quickly, then turned around and stabbed the dagger directly into the tiger's neck with lightning speed!
The tiger roared with a heart-wrenching roar, the sound was deafening! The eardrums were about to be shattered at this moment! It twisted and struggled madly, and Chu Shitong could not pull out the dagger. He could only choose to throw the dagger away and dodge to the side to avoid being knocked to the ground by the tiger's movements.
The tiger was so big that the blade of the dagger Chu Shitong carried was only as long as a palm for portability. It went straight into the tiger's neck but it didn't kill it!
Princess Linglan stepped forward to steady Chu Shitong and said, "Your Highness Prince Qi! Are you okay?"
Chu Shitong said: "It's okay! Let's go first!"
Chu Shihan shouted, "Get out of the way!"
Unexpectedly, the tiger, driven mad by pain, rushed towards the two of them in a twisted posture! Its speed was amazing!
Chu Shitong stepped back subconsciously, not expecting that Princess Linglan had already hidden behind her. The two steps she took back directly stepped on Princess Linglan's feet, causing Chu Shitong to lose balance instantly and fall backwards with Princess Linglan!
The tiger was so furious that its eyes turned red with anger. It opened its bloody mouth and was about to bite the two of them!
The moment he realized he had lost his balance, at the critical moment, Chu Shitong shouted.
"kill!"
On a towering tree in the forest, deep in the dense branches and leaves, a woman's eagle-like eyes had been fixed here for a long time.
Before she heard Chu Shitong's order, she had already pulled the crossbow in her hand.
When Chu Shitong felt that he was about to fall to the ground, a hand pulled him to the side.
Before she could react, she bumped into something hard and warm.
"Oh!"
Chu Shihan watched helplessly as something attacked the tiger from behind just as it was about to bite off Princess Linglan's neck. It flashed by like lightning and directly smashed half of the tiger's head!
Princess Lily of the Valley escaped death, her face was pale, her whole body was trembling, her eyes were wide open in disbelief, and she seemed to be standing there stupidly.
The ferocious and brutal tiger just now fell to the ground with a bang, and its broken head and flesh splattered all around with blood. The tiger's body hit the ground with a heavy muffled sound, and the golden flower on the bracelet on her wrist fell into a pool of blood. Two lines of clear tears flowed from her eyes unexpectedly.
Chu Shitong felt that he was being protected by someone. When he pushed away, he found that it was Chu Shihan who had pulled him out of the tiger's mouth at the critical moment.
Chu Shitong was a little confused. Besides the secret guards, there were also two different types of secret protectors around her. She was not worried about any problems at all. But she couldn't understand why Chu Shihan saved her in such a dangerous situation just now.
