Crossing the World: This Prince is a Little Sweet

Chu Xi mounted his horse, took Shaoyao with him and rode away.

"Strange, why is the princess's maid carrying a bag?"

The guard who was leading the horse looked at Shaoyao who was carrying a bundle on the horse's back and asked his companion beside him in confusion.

"Miss Shaoyao usually carries some things with her when she goes out. I guess she keeps them ready in case the princess needs them. What's so strange about that? Women are notoriously troublesome, especially a princess of noble status."

The other guard disagreed.

Chu Xi rode quickly for a while before stopping and walking slowly.

"Miss, where are we going?"

"do not know"

Chu Xi became aimless at this moment. He just wanted to come out because he felt sad.

"Then we won't go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"I don't really want to go back... How about we go find Zi Yi?"

"Listen young lady, I haven't seen Ziyi for a long time, and I miss her a little."

As soon as Shaoyao finished her words, they were surrounded by several masked men.

"Who are you and why are you blocking my way?"

Chu Xile stopped his horse and looked at the masked men in front of him with displeasure.

"Miss Chu, we have no intention of hurting you, we just want you to come with us."

The masked man who was in the lead spoke coldly, holding a knife.

"Why should I go with you? Who are you?"

"Since you refuse to cooperate, I am sorry for the offense."

The masked man in the lead jumped towards Chu Xi, and Chu Xi quickly took out his pistol and shot at the masked man.

The masked man who attacked Chu Xi realized something was wrong and wanted to dodge to the side but it was too late. A hole was instantly pierced through his shoulder. He staggered back to the side, covering the wound.

"You are so rude. You want to take me away without saying a word. You should ask me if I am willing to do so."

Chu Xi pointed the gun at the masked man and was speechless.

The masked man looked at the weapon in Chu Xi's hand warily. What kind of peerless artifact was this?

The speed was so amazing, the attack just now was too fast, even faster than that of a master.

No wonder Miss Murong specifically warned her that she would play tricks and that she had experts protecting her.

After waiting for so long, he dared to take action only when he saw Chu Xi went out with only a maid.

I just didn’t expect… I still underestimated this woman.

"Miss Chu is really amazing. I wonder what kind of weapon this is?"

"Weapons are none of your business. Get out of my way if you know what's best for you."

Chu Xi was in no mood to waste time talking to him.

"What if I don't allow it?"

"If you don't let me, don't blame me for being rude."

Chu Xi raised his gun and quickly shot at the other masked men without waiting for others to react. Those masked men were not very skilled in martial arts and could not dodge in time, so they were shot and fell to the ground.

Finally, only the one with the injured shoulder was left.

The injured masked man sensed the danger and quickly retreated just as Chu Xi pointed his gun at him.

Chu Xi fired several shots, but he barely dodged them all.

"Damn, the reaction is so fast."

Chu Xi was very unhappy when he saw the masked man escaping.

After taking a look at the masked men lying on the ground, he felt better. At least his recent archery practice was not in vain.

"Miss, this thing of yours is really amazing."

Shaoyao thought they were going to be captured by the masked man, but she didn't expect the thing in the young lady's hand was so powerful that she drove the enemy away with a few bangs.

"Peony, let's go quickly, it's not safe here."

Chu Xi rode the horse and ran quickly again.

Yan Jingshuo went to the prison and found it in a mess. There was no trace of Sun Yuqiong on the shelf.

"Can you see what that person looks like?"

"No, that person was masked and used very strange martial arts moves. It was hard to tell where he was from."

"The only one who can save this woman is a member of the hermit clan."

"Then Master, what should we do next?"

"Just wait and see. Sun Yuqiong will definitely come looking for the princess again. Protecting the princess is the top priority. Also... settle them down and don't mistreat their families."

"Yes, master"

After dealing with everything, Yan Jingshuo hurried back to the house to think about how to explain to Chu Xi.

However, when Yan Jingshuo stood in the empty room, he realized something was wrong.

His voice became less steady than before: "Fireworks, fireworks..."

"Master, Master Yan Huo is not here."

A guard came over and reported to Yan Jingshuo.

"Where did he go?"

"In training camp"

Yan Jingshuo suddenly remembered that he had arranged for Yanhuo to go to the training camp to train new recruits.

"Then do you know where the princess went?"

"My Lord, the princess just rode out with Miss Shaoyao, but when she left, Miss Shaoyao was holding a package in her hand."

"pack?"

Yan Jingshuo cried out inwardly, "Oh no!" and suddenly felt extremely flustered.

He looked back at the room and found that all Chu Xi's things in the room were gone.

"Yingyi, prepare the horse quickly."

Yan Jingshuo became very scared at this moment, and his hands were shaking. He didn't expect Chu Xi to leave without saying hello, so what should he do?

He was secretly annoyed that Xier didn't understand his feelings.

From the beginning to the end, she was the only one he knew and she was the only one he loved.

Why bother whether he knows whether it is true or not?

At this moment, he particularly regretted what he had said to her before. He didn't know she would be so sensitive.

Yan Jingshuo searched all the nearby places but couldn't find Chu Xi. He only found a few masked men lying in a forest.

"Master, judging from the injuries of these people, they were obviously injured by the princess's special weapon. They were all killed in one blow. There were no signs of fighting or struggling at the scene. Judging from this situation, the princess is currently safe."

"Let the shadow guards investigate and see who wants to harm the princess?"

Yan Jingshuo glanced expressionlessly at the masked man lying on the ground. His eyes were extremely cold and he exuded a murderous aura that was terrifying.

At this moment, the whole person was like a demon from hell, gloomy and crazy.

Seeing Yan Jingshuo like this, Yingyi shuddered unconsciously. Perhaps because he had been with the princess for too long, he almost forgot the prince's true appearance.

Yan Jingshuo carefully checked the traces around him, and finally rode his horse quickly in the direction Chu Xi had just left.

"Miss, why don't we ride away on horseback?"

Shaoyao walked quickly behind Chu Xi.

"We are riding horses and the prince will definitely follow us by following the tracks left by the horses' hooves."

"So the young lady abandoned her horse and walked in the opposite direction. By the time the son-in-law realized something was wrong, it was already too late."

"Yes, our peony has become smarter."

Chu Xi thought about it carefully. Yan Jingshuo must have thought that she had returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion by following the traces.

During this time, she had been riding and walking with him, and she was quite familiar with the terrain around the house. Even if she was a person with poor directions, she could still identify the familiar buildings nearby and not get lost.

Soon, Chu Xi brought Shaoyao to the nearest ferry, where several boats were docked.

Chu Xi saw many people queuing up to get on one of the boats, so she also lined up.

"Boatman, when will you set sail?"

"The boat will depart in another quarter of an hour. The two girls, please get on board quickly because there are people waiting in line behind you."

The boatman was a man in his forties or fifties. He replied to Chu Xi impatiently, and his tone and appearance gave people the feeling that he was difficult to get along with.

"Oh, let's go."

"You can pay if you want to take the bus. Three hundred coins per person."

The boatman asked them for money.

"What? Three hundred coins per person. Is your boat gilded?"

Shaoyao was furious. How could a boat be so expensive? It was several times more expensive than the prices she had heard before. The boatman might as well just rob it.

"Whether it's a match or not, if not, then go away. Quick...next one."

The boatman was also a man with a bad temper. He didn't even want to bargain. He just waved his hand to signal Chu Xi and the others to go away.

"Yes, whether you leave or not, don't waste our time."

The people behind them also started to make a fuss, thinking that Chu Xi and the other two were simply wasting their time.

"We'll take it, boatman, take the money."

Seeing a long queue behind her, Chu Xi took out the money and handed it to the boatman before she had time to ask where the boat was going.

But it doesn't matter where you go. If you don't want to be found by Yan Jingshuo at this moment, you must leave here first.

"Miss……"

Shaoyao gently tugged at Chu Xi's sleeve.

"Don't mind Shaoyao, everyone pays the same way."

Seeing this, Shaoyao had no choice but to shut up and let Chu Xi pull her onto the boat.

Yan Jingshuo rode his horse quickly towards the prime minister's residence. When he was halfway there, he saw a horse eating grass on the side of the road.

Yan Jingshuo quickly stopped his horse and began to look for Chu Xi, but found that there was no one around.

Yan Jingshuo didn't know whether to cry or laugh at this moment. This little woman actually played tricks on him and deceived him.

"Master, have you found the princess?"

Ying Yi and his guards caught up and saw the horse happily eating grass not far away.

"She's not here, go back and look for her..."

Yan Jingshuo quickly turned his horse around and galloped back.

"But... isn't the princess's horse here?"

Yingyi was puzzled, but when he saw his master running back anxiously, Yingyi suddenly thought of something.

Were they... deceived by the princess?

"Hurry, hurry, hurry back, the princess must not have gone far."

Ying Yi shouted to the guards, then turned his horse around to chase Yan Jingshuo.
