Bring a scumbag girl to bully me, and you are afraid of using modern weapons.

Xie Jinglan said nothing more and turned away.

She didn't know why Cao Li told her these things. But no matter whether it was true or not, she wanted to go back to Yuyong Country first.

There are only three adult princes in the royal family of Yuyong Kingdom: Beitang Yuan, Beitang Hong, and Beitang Huan. If Emperor Mingkun accepts the invitation of the Emperor of Luofeng Kingdom, he will most likely send Beitang Yuan.

But we can only send Beitang Yuan.

Beitang Hong ran away and his whereabouts are still unknown; although Beitang Huan was also trained by Emperor Kunming, with his current strength and knowledge, he is not yet able to stand on his own and take on the important mission of a national envoy.

Suddenly, a white mist filled my eyes, and the surrounding scene just now disappeared, leaving only a vast expanse of white.

Formation! She was actually trapped by the formation!

Xie Jinglan suddenly turned around and saw that the surrounding environment had returned to its original state. The clouds and mist had dissipated, the sun was shining brightly, and the trees around were lush and green.

Cao Li was still sitting there, holding a dagger in his hand, slowly processing the fish.

"What do you want?"

It turns out that Cao Li had already figured out that it was her. Was the words he just said to her just a joke?

"Finish eating these fish with me, and I'll take you out." Cao Li didn't look at her. He was still busy with the work in his hands, scraping the fish scales, cutting open the belly, and taking out the internal organs. His technique was skillful, as if he did this kind of thing many times.

"I'm very busy. Not everyone can be as idle as you." Xie Jinglan said with a cold face.

This formation couldn't trap her, but she couldn't guess what this man wanted to do to her.

"Then there's nothing we can do? You broke into this formation on your own, and I'm the only one who can get you out." Cao Xiang shrugged, looking helpless. "I advise you not to act rashly, otherwise, if you upset those old men, even I won't be able to save you."

"Hearing what you said, I'm almost like the fish in your hand, and can only let you slaughter me?" Xie Jinglan was so angry that she almost laughed.

But he also heard that this formation was not set up by him.

Cao Li was slightly stunned when he heard this. He looked at the fish in his hand, then turned to look at her and shook his head. "That's a bad analogy. You'll be very ugly if you become like this."

"..."Xie Jinglan really couldn't guess what this person wanted to do?

But now it seems that he didn't recognize who she was. He just did things according to his mood, like a child who follows his own will.

She looked up at the sky. If she broke out of the formation, it would be a fierce battle.

After thinking for a while, he sat back to where he was just now, picked up a fish forked with a branch, and put it on the fire to roast.

Childish, just bored out of his mind. The eldest son of the Cao family, what do you want to eat? Actually, he came here alone to grill fish? She muttered to herself.

Cao Li suddenly looked over and asked, "You seem to be saying something bad about me?"

"No!" She said expressionlessly, took out a bottle of seasoning from the space, and sprinkled the powder on the fish.

The fish in this lake are indeed tender and fresh, but without any seasoning, you can only taste its most original flavor. Although it has a unique flavor, it still lacks a little bit of taste.

"What is this?" Cao Li took the bottle from her hand and put it to his nose to smell it. "It smells good. I didn't expect you to have this thing on you."

As he spoke, he sprinkled some powder on the bodies of the fish. After pouring it out, he covered the bottle and put it into his sleeve, as if the thing belonged to him.

Xie Jinglan didn't say anything, but just grilled the fish in her hand. The delicious aroma of meat filled the air.

Seeing that it was almost done, I put it to my mouth and took a small bite.

Well, this tastes much better than the one just now.

She only ate the one she had roasted, and the other three went into Cao Li's stomach.

"Can we go now?"

Before she could finish her words, Cao Li suddenly grabbed her hand and flew away.

There was no white fog and no formation blocking the way, and the two people left the valley just like that.

When we returned to the edge of the cliff, the people guarding there came over to greet us.

"Meet the Second Young Master!"

Xie Jinglan broke free from his hand.

She is wearing men's clothes now. What does it look like for two men to hold hands?

Seeing that their young master actually brought a young boy out, everyone here was surprised and there was a bit of doubt in their eyes.

"Sir, who is this...?"

"What? You want to meddle in my affairs too?" Cao Li glanced at the man coldly.

"I dare not." The man hurriedly bowed and lowered his head.

"Hmph! You wouldn't dare!" Cao Li snorted coldly with a stern face and walked past them.

Someone brought two horses to him, "Sir, please."

Cao Li's expression looked better. He took the reins and handed them to Xie Jinglan, then jumped onto the horse's back.

Xie Jinglan hesitated for a moment, then sat on it as well, and the two of them left.

It seemed that she had accidentally entered the Cao family's formation today and happened to meet Cao Li who was grilling fish there.

Cao Li brought her out of the formation out of kindness.

But why would this man help her?

When they were about to return to Mincheng, Xie Jinglan grabbed the reins and said, "Thank you for today!"

Cao Li looked at her with a calm expression and said nothing.

"Goodbye!" Xie Jinglan jumped off the horse and quickly disappeared.

As soon as they entered Mincheng, the little squirrel came back following her scent and entered the space.

【You came back so soon, but what news did you hear? 】

"I heard from them that the Emperor of Luofeng Kingdom is celebrating his fiftieth birthday in ten days. Gu Qi and Lu You have both received invitations from the Emperor and want to go to the capital of Luofeng Kingdom with Mu Wenye and Zhong Yonghua tomorrow." The little squirrel told her the news he had just heard.

[Did Gu Qi and Lu You both receive invitations from the Emperor of Luofeng? Is the Emperor of Luofeng's fiftieth birthday actually real?] I didn't expect that what Cao Li said was actually true.

"Yes, I also heard Mu Wenye mention Lin Ruyan. That woman seems to be in the capital of Luofeng Kingdom." The little squirrel said again.

Lin Ruyan! Finally, there's news about this woman. [Looks like we'll have to go to Luofeng Kingdom's capital.]

When she thought of her missing parents, she felt very sad. She didn't know where those people had held them.

[I also heard from Mu Wenye that Prince Rui's power is growing stronger and stronger, threatening his position, and he wants to plot to kill Prince Rui...] The little squirrel told her all the information it had found out.

"very good……"

*******

Luo Fengguo, Kyoto.

Xie Jinglan stood in front of the window of an inn, looking at the people jostling each other on the street.

She has been here for two days.

Seven days later is the fiftieth birthday of the Emperor of Luofeng Kingdom, and many people have been invited.

In a few days, many nobles from various countries came to the imperial city.

According to the information she had obtained, the envoy from Yuyong Kingdom would arrive today.
