Crossing the Passenger Sacrifice

Li Huoyue opened his mouth, many questions surged between his lips and teeth, but suddenly he stopped, and the smoke disappeared in his internal organs.

She didn't dare ask any more.

I really want to know, but I’m afraid to hear something I don’t want to hear.

Emotions took over again, but Li Huoyue suppressed them skillfully.

He quickly changed the dull topic and asked another question:

"Has the picture changed since I left?"

This is the question I wanted to ask just now.

The second brother had not yet recovered from his emotions. It took him a while to slowly recall what was going on. He said, "It seems that... the three red dots in the Prince Liang's Palace have become one, and there have been changes in several other places as well."

He is extremely sensitive to numbers, and can keenly detect changes in quantity, even if the change is only slight in a complex situation.

Li Huoyue frowned, which was basically consistent with her guess.

This map should be some advanced prop.

"Eh? That's not right." The second child followed Li Huoyue's question and responded, "If this map can be changed, and mother is not at home, then who is this red dot?"

Li Huoyue sighed: "It's me, okay."

The second brother was stunned for a moment, then laughed and shook his head, gently tapping Li Huoyue's forehead with his finger: "Then my sister is really amazing. As a time traveler, she dares to covet the position of Special Inspector."

Li Huoyue had no choice but to smile too.

The light around her was not bright, and her bitter smile was hard to tell. "Yeah, I'm really awesome..."

Mingming was an ordinary person. When he first came here, his posture of holding the dagger was wrong.

Li Huoyue didn't know what to say next. Lao Er was also lost in his own thoughts. For a moment, the only sound in his ears was the gentle wind at night.

After a while, Li Huoyue felt that the time was almost up, but Jiang Yunshu did not come back.

Thinking of Jiang Yunshu, Li Huoyue asked the second brother another question:

"Is Jiang Yunshu the friend you mentioned before?"

The second brother didn't expect that Li Huoyue still remembered this. Just as he was about to answer something, Li Huoyue suddenly made a gesture, half stood up, and looked alert.

The people outside didn't seem to intend to hide their whereabouts. The footsteps were not chaotic, but it sounded like there were obviously a lot of people.

Apart from the sound of footsteps, the most obvious sound was the continuous sound of wheels pressing on the ground.

Hearing the noise, Li Huoyue also guessed who the visitor was.

"Don't you want to come out and see me?" A clear female voice came from outside. There was a smile in her tone, but it made people feel cold.

Li Huoyue had long known that the Sixth Princess would not give up, and thought that the Crown Prince's words could hold her back for a while. However, he did not expect that today, before the moon even set, someone came to find her in person.

The second brother heard the noise and wanted to go out, but was stopped by Li Huoyue, who took out a dagger from a secret compartment nearby and kept it there just in case.

She pulled aside the curtain, stood where the coachman should have been, and looked down ahead.

About ten meters away from the carriage, a woman in a wheelchair was looking at Li Huoyue with a smile.

That smiling look was as if she had seen something that she really liked as a toy. It was so direct that even Li Huoyue didn't dare to accept it directly. She just glanced at him casually and then started looking elsewhere.

The woman in the wheelchair was accompanied by two maids, one holding a lamp and the other pushing the wheelchair.

They were all wearing casual clothes, without any trace of the palace.

Li Huoyue did not say hello, but concentrated on counting the people hiding in the dark.

"It's been a long time since we last met. You're standing taller and taller." The Sixth Princess seemed to be talking about Li Huoyue standing on the carriage, but also seemed to be saying something else.

Li Huoyue also seemed to answer: "Yes, it's dark at night, so you can see farther if you stand higher."

"Oh? Standing so high, what if I become a target?"

The Sixth Princess' voice is very unique, crisp, yet not entirely like a child's.

Just listening to the timbre, it is quite pleasant to listen to, but I don't know how these syllables are controlled by the Sixth Princess. They like to hit other people's eardrums directly to express themselves for the Sixth Princess.

At first glance, you'll feel like your head is filled with her voice. Even though her tone is smiling, it's often mixed with a chill. It can be a bit creepy if you hear it too often.

After chatting for two or three sentences, Li Huoyue did not pay any respect to the Sixth Princess, nor did he reveal the Sixth Princess's identity.

The two people stood on opposite sides, looking like strangers who suddenly met on the street, talking about some irrelevant things.

The second guy in the car also heard something wrong.

"It's hard to say. What if the arrow is in my hand?" Li Huoyue replied. The other side didn't have too many people, only thirteen in total. "You brought so many people, are you here to take a look?"

The Sixth Princess tilted her head with a playful movement, but her eyes were as if filled with poison, staring closely at Li Huoyue's every move.

The wind suddenly blew up and passed through the two people cleanly.

The second man in the car pursed his lips, clenched his fists in his sleeves, and his gentle eyebrows became sharp, and he almost couldn't sit still.

"Forget about it today." The Sixth Princess thought for a long time before speaking, "How about having a cup of tea with me?"

Li Huoyue gritted his teeth and complained about these members of the royal family again in his mind, not letting any one go.

Before Li Huoyue could speak, the Sixth Princess smiled softly and added in a fake tone: "Of course, it's okay if you don't go~"

Li Huoyue heard the threat and replied: "It's late at night, forget about drinking tea, I'll take you home."

The Sixth Princess narrowed her eyes, smiled silently, and asked again: "I want to go back to the East Forest Villa, can you send me there too?"

Hearing this address, Li Huoyue immediately thought of the map in the study.

East Forest, like the Imperial Palace, there are no red dots but only squares?

"...Of course." Li Huoyue answered and started to calculate.

This dense forest was as heavily guarded as the imperial palace. She and the fourth brother had tried to enter it several times before, but each time ended in failure.

But why would the Sixth Princess go to the Forest Villa for no reason?

Li Huoyue was a little shaken. She really wanted to take this opportunity to check it out, but at the same time, it was obvious that this was a trap.

"Okay, go with the one you're protecting behind you."

This time Li Huoyue answered quickly: "No!"

"Oh?" The Sixth Princess only uttered one syllable with a smile on her face. She said nothing more and watched Li Huoyue leisurely.

The guards lurking around began to get restless and gradually approached Li Huoyue in the dark. The meaning was self-evident.

Li Huoyue didn't say much, just silently held the dagger in his sleeve.

"Huo Huo." Lao Er's gentle call came from the carriage, "Then let's go together."

The second brother is not weak. He learned a lot of skills when he went to other states to do business alone. Although he has not been trained like Li Huoyue, at least he can understand the current movements around him.

Li Huoyue was not sure what the Sixth Princess on the opposite side was up to. This crazy girl had never done many normal things since she was a child.

Now both of them were taken away halfway. If something really happened to them, I'm afraid no one would find their bodies for a year after their death.
