The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

After settling Miss Yangqi in a safe place, Peilin sneaked into the village in the shortest time possible.

There is something strange about this village!

Peilin did not tell the truth to Yang Qi just now. The middle-aged man who was talking at the entrance of the village was obviously a martial artist, not an ordinary farmer. It seemed that those children were also abducted by them as a cover.

The reason why we waited until now to act was to take advantage of darkness so that we could enter the village quietly and undetected.

The information in the hands of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been that An Hu is lurking in the village alone as a widower.

Except for An Hu, the young and middle-aged people in the village should all be migrant workers and farmers, but now there are so many people practicing martial arts.

Dark Tiger, are you trying to lead me into a trap?

Peilin knew the distribution and detailed layout of these strongholds very well, but after taking a few tentative steps, he found that the Dark Tiger had changed the structure of the village and deployed a number of visible and hidden sentries.

"No wonder His Highness keeps saying that the situation here is unclear. It turns out that the truth of the matter is being hidden by these traitors."

Before Perrin was injured and fell unconscious, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already ordered him to be informed of the mission of this operation: to find out all the traitors, and if anyone resisted, they would all be sentenced to death.

However, he never expected that he would be injured by the armored giant and fall into a coma. His Highness went alone to deal with those traitors.

His Highness's order was to eliminate all traitors. Therefore, Peilin was not worried about whether he could find His Highness in the village.

As long as these traitors are executed, His Highness will naturally show up.

Now, the trouble is, the enemy is a bit tricky.

Traitors like An Hu were already long-time secret guards. Peilin's methods were like child's play in front of them and were not worth considering at all.

If it's a pure fight of force and physical strength, after all, two fists are no match for four hands. I'm afraid I won't be able to achieve a quick victory at the moment.

The closer you get to the center of the village, the more concentrated the outposts and military forces become.

After searching around, Peilin did not find any signal left by His Highness. Could it be that His Highness did not come here?

It was late at night, and the sky was pitch black today. The dark clouds blocked the moon and stars behind them. Except for the flickering candlelight in the village in the distance, Yang Qi's world was dark.

I don’t know if it’s because my vision was temporarily blocked by the outside world, or because of the long-term, continuous tension, but Yang Qi’s hearing was unusually sharp at this moment.

"hiss."

A rustling sound came into Yang Qi's ears.

Yang Qi was very familiar with this sound. Wasn't it the sound made by the group of snakes raised by Mo Chong?

In the dark night, Yang Qi could not see clearly, but once he lit a fire, he was afraid that he would be discovered by the villagers before he could drive away the snake.

Slowly, Yang Qi took out a bottle of leftover snake repellent from his arms and sprinkled it on his body.

Because there was not much snake repellent left, Yang Qi was extremely careful when using it.

When I set out from Xihu, I never thought that one day I would meet someone who was interested in raising snakes.

Next time I go out, I'll have to prepare more snake repellent.

It is summer now and I am in the grass, so there are inevitably snakes, ants and insects nearby. As long as there are not many of them, these snake repellents can still deal with it.

However, Yang Qi's luck today was really bad. After sprinkling the snake repellent, the rustling sounds around him not only did not weaken, but became more intense.

It seems that there are quite a lot of these beasts.

Yang Qi shook the snake repellent in his hand and sprinkled the last bit on himself before slowly approaching the village.

Perrin, Perrin, it's not that I want to be stubborn at this time, but there is really no other way.

At first, Yang Qi didn't notice anything unusual in the village, but seeing that Peilin was late to return, Yang Qi had some guesses in his mind.

Although Peilin was injured, he could easily deal with ordinary farmers. The reason why he didn't come back was that he was entangled or delayed by the things inside.

However, there was no sound of fighting in the village, probably because Peilin had not taken action yet.

Yang Qi originally wanted to find a place far away from the snakes to hide again, but he never expected that these snakes seemed to have become intelligent and kept following Yang Qi.

"Are these snakes crazy?" I have already used snake repellent, why are they still chasing me? If I hadn't used snake repellent, I would have been in great danger now.

Just as Yang Qi was about to rush to the village to avoid the snakes, a huge force lifted him up into the air and dropped him onto a tree.

After a moment of fear, Yang Qi saw the appearance of the person who came, and all his fears were thrown out of his mind. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it was actually His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!

I don’t know why, even though I saw him yesterday, it seemed like a long time had passed when Yang Qi saw him now.

With courage that came from nowhere, Yang Qi stretched out his arms and hugged the person in front of him tightly: "Your Highness the Crown Prince."

His Highness must have gone through a lot of things that day, and there are some blood stains on his body.

When seeing Yang Qi here, Yuan Ruiyuan knew that this girl did not act according to the path he had arranged. He was about to open his mouth to question her, but he never expected that this girl directly hugged him and swallowed his words back.

After hesitating for a moment, Yuan Ruiyuan patted Yang Qi's head and said, "Didn't I tell the six people from 'Lucky People Will Be Seen By Heaven' to take you back to Beijing first? Why are you here again?"

Nestled in the arms of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Yang Qi took a deep breath, somewhat craving the faint bamboo fragrance on His Royal Highness' body: "Your Highness also said, since you want to leave, why don't you tell Xiao Qi in person, but leave secretly instead."

"The situation is urgent. The news of the failed assassination in the inn will soon reach these people's ears, and I must hurry. Besides, weren't you fully focused on saving Peilin at that time? Besides, I didn't leave secretly. You were too focused and didn't notice." Yuan Ruiyuan was still a little emotional when he said this.

As soon as this girl got the medicine, she turned around and left without even a word of comfort or concern. Doesn’t she worry that it would be difficult for her to get the medicine?

If Yang Qi knew what His Highness was thinking now, he would definitely cry out for injustice. He was so concerned about it purely because Peilin was His Highness the Crown Prince's right-hand man.

Yang Qi knew that he had been in the wrong for ignoring His Highness, so he quickly changed the subject: "Your Highness, Xiao Qi did not come here alone this time. Peilin was here too, but he went into the village at dusk, and there has been no news since then."

After taking a look at the commotion in the village, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked, "I want to go into the village now too. Do you want to follow me or wait here?" Although the girl had no martial arts skills, she had excellent "luck" and could always inexplicably discover the key to things.

"Of course I have to go in with His Highness." Yang Qi said hurriedly.

This village is indeed unsafe, but it is not peaceful outside either! However, now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived, he will surely eliminate all suffering.
