The concubine pretends to be obedient, the sinister prince's favorite

"Hmph, good boy, you said I'm not a woman... I'll beat you so hard today that even your own mother can't recognize you!"

"Hey! Sister! I was wrong, I was wrong..."

Lin Ci was frightened by Lin Qingtang's iron fist as big as a sandbag, so he surrounded Li Youchuan and used him as a shield.

"My Lord! Please save me!"

Li Youchuan's body was swaying left and right as he was pulled by him. The young man closed his eyes helplessly, and suddenly felt that it was not a wise thing to ask him to come as reinforcements.

The most important thing is, why did this woman Lin Qingtang come... The scene of being beaten by her when he was a child was still vivid in his mind, and Li Youchuan was scared when he looked at her.

"May you be lucky. Who dares to mess with your sister..."

Seeing that no one helped him, Lin Ci was almost in tears. He had said not to bring her to Changzhou a long time ago. Now, he, General Lin, was completely embarrassed. He clearly wanted to be aloof...

After being hit hard on the head by two punches, the young man looked unconvinced, but he could only endure it.

……

Half an hour passed,

Li Jinyuan brought a few royal guards to the mound where they were last night.

There was nothing different here except that the ground was covered with fallen leaves.

But his heart beat uncontrollably.

The ink-black boots stepped on the dead leaves, and the crisp rustling sound was endless.

Her phoenix eyes were half lowered, and she stopped only after she arrived at the place where Jiang Li was shackled last night.

Li Jinyuan possessed the body, his eyes fixed on one place, then he reached out and pushed aside a dead leaf, revealing the jade tassel earrings hidden underneath.

"What is this...? These are the earrings the princess wore yesterday!"

A sharp-eyed royal guard recognized it immediately and looked excited. After searching for so long, he finally found some clues.

He picked up the earring with his long, bony fingers and stared at it for a long time before holding it tightly in his palm.

Compared to not being able to find the clue, after finding it, he seemed to feel even more depressed, as if his heart was being grasped by a big hand and being ravaged repeatedly.

In a corner where no one paid attention, a royal guard standing at the back of the crowd had changed his expression, his fingers curled up nervously, and his eyes were wandering.

How could the princess have been to this place? Was she the one who discovered him when he was meeting with the bandits last night?

What should I do? I must not let the prince find the princess!

Li Jinyuan stood up and glanced at the dense jungle in front of him without a trace of hesitation.

"Keep looking."

"and many more!"

The man stopped Li Jinyuan. After meeting those phoenix eyes that could see through everything, he suppressed the panic and tension in his heart.

"This forest is filled with miasma. If you breathe in too much, you'll die!"

What he said was very serious and indeed succeeded in causing panic among the people.

But Li Jinyuan's expression did not change at all, and the look in his eyes when he looked at him became even colder.

"How did you know."

"I...your subordinates...also happened to hear the farmers talk about it..."

"Is it."

Li Jinyuan raised the corner of his lips, but there was no trace of a smile.

"As far as I know, the people living below this mountain are very afraid of bandits. How could they approach this mountain without fear of death, knowing that this jungle is full of miasma?"

"This... your subordinate, your subordinate also..."

It can be said that he lost more than he gained. The man's cold sweat was already running down his temples. The man's powerful pressure made him unable to help but feel his legs go weak and he knelt down on the ground.

"Come here, drag him away and torture him severely."

Li Jinyuan's voice was as cold as a piercing wind. Whenever he thought that Lili's disappearance might be related to him, he wanted to beat him to death immediately.

"Your Highness! Please let me go! I'm really not an undercover agent..."

As he was dragged away, the shrill cries of pleading gradually faded.

The royal guards couldn't help but feel ashamed for him. As an army led by the prince himself, they hated traitors the most.

Because on the battlefield, it is often possible that a whole battalion of brothers would be killed because of this beast!

For such people, even being torn into pieces by five horses cannot relieve their hatred!

……

In the village on the top of the mountain, Jiang Li and Qi Yu were locked in a woodshed, their hands and feet tied with hemp ropes, and their mouths stuffed tightly with rags.

The bandit leader who had tied them up the mountain squatted in front of Jiang Li, carefully looking at the girl's fair and delicate face, the desire in his eyes almost overflowing.

He reached out and pulled the cloth out of Jiang Li's mouth, then leaned closer to her.

"The Third Princess is truly courageous. Most girls would have burst into tears before they were even carried in."

"Unlike you, whose beautiful eyes are filled with coldness, you really are cut from the same mold as that so-called War God Prince."

The girl turned her head to avoid his outstretched hand. She felt nauseous and wanted to vomit at his approach.

"Bald bastard, you'd better pray that I'm not allowed to leave. Otherwise, I'll be the first one to poison you to death."

"Hahaha... Great! I like having a temper!"

This man seemed to be out of his mind, and his desire for Jiang Li became more and more intense. If he had not been called out by his younger brother halfway, Jiang Li was really afraid that he would do something to her out of desperation.

"Princess, don't worry. When the boss gets tired of you, I will definitely take you over! Hahahaha..."

He walked out of the woodshed with a smile, and left no one behind to guard him, as if he was very confident in their method of detention.

After making sure there was no movement outside the door, Jiang Li immediately moved closer to Qi Yu.

This person was much more miserable than her. He was kicked several times on the way, all of which were aimed at the vulnerable area of ​​the abdomen. It was estimated that he had serious internal injuries.

There was still blood on his gray-white clothes, where he was injured by their sharp weapons when he resisted on the road.

"Come here, I'll help you pull the stuff out of your mouth."

Hearing Jiang Li's words, Qi Yu moved his body with difficulty and brought his mouth closer to her hands behind her back.

"Uh... huh, thank you, princess."

"You're welcome. How's your injury?"

Qi Yuqiang forced himself to sit up. Even though his face was pale, he did not forget the order to protect the princess.

"I'm fine, don't worry, I'll take you out and find the prince."

Jiang Li sighed softly, "Come on, thank God you can stand up now."

Qi Yu blushed, adding a touch of vitality to her pale face.

Her almond-shaped eyes looked around the woodshed, and finally lit up after she saw a piece of broken tile in the corner.

She jumped over with her feet together, got the tile, and then jumped back to Qi Yu.

"Here, help me cut the hemp rope."

Qi Yu was stunned for two seconds before reacting. He then picked up the tile and started grinding it. After a while, it was really broken.

After Jiang Li swiftly untied the restraints on her feet, she walked around behind Qi Yu to help him untie his as well.

"Thank you, Princess..."

The girl didn't say anything, but just felt around her waist. Finally, she found a small white porcelain bottle behind her waist. It was worth it that she hid it on her body to deal with special situations.
