Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 1074 He Smiles Like Ten Thousand Snows Melting

Despite Xiao Hou's promise, Pang Zhijing still didn't dare to be careless. She dragged her sick leg and limped to find a place to hide.

The injury on her foot should have been healed earlier, but because she was constantly injured during the escape process at this stage, and the ancient medical skills were so poor that the medicine applied did not work at all, she felt that she The leg injury appeared to be more serious.

Therefore, she couldn't run very far in an hour, so she decided to hide.

Before, Xiao Hou told her not to choose the tree, but she chose instead, taking advantage of the other party's psychology, thinking that she would not fall in the same place again, she wanted to challenge his psychology, this is called the soldier never tires of cheating.

So, when she got to a place where Xiao Hou could not be seen, she found a nearby big tree that seemed to have luxuriant branches and climbed up numbly, then shook her feet, panting for a rest.

The journey did not tire her out.

But she didn't dare to be careless, she kept an eye on the time, and soon, an hour was spent in torment.

coming.

She heard the sound of a large group of people launching a carpet-like search, so she held her breath, clasped the tree trunk with one hand, covered her nose and mouth with the other, and restrained herself from making any noise.

And at this moment, the people and horses were already close to where they were.

"I didn't see anyone, search forward!"

In the wind came the sound of leaves rustling and the soldiers talking. Seeing that these people were about to pass under her tree, her heart rose to her throat.

However, these people did not leave so quickly, but stopped unexpectedly.

Because at this moment, Xiao Hou suddenly stopped the crowd, and looked at where Pang Zhijing was.

Pang Zhijing stared nervously at their actions through the gaps in the leaves. At this moment, seeing Xiao Hou's gaze, she immediately shrank her neck.

However, she felt that his actions meant that he had discovered her.

"Princess, this king once warned you not to hide in the tree again, but it's a pity that the princess doesn't listen to good people." There was a slight smile in the gentle and kind eyes, but the smile didn't reach the eyes.

Pang Zhijing still wanted to make a dying struggle, but unfortunately the other party's eyes had already locked on her body, and even those leaves couldn't hide her figure, so she could only accept her fate in the end.

"You're amazing, you can find out like this. I thought the most dangerous place was the safest place." Pang Zhijing said, her tone full of regret.

"Thank you princess for your compliment." Xiao Hou said calmly.

Pang Zhijing twitched the corners of her mouth, then stretched out her arms to the person standing not far away and said, "I can't go down."

Xiao Hou raised his eyebrows, and was indifferent to her words, "This king believes that the princess should be able to come down if she can go up."

"I also want to go down by myself, but look at my feet, do they look like I can go down?" She slightly lifted her foot that was about to swell into a pig's trotter, and she was very depressed. If it wasn't for the inconvenience of her legs and feet, she wouldn't have To be caught so easily.

Xiao Hou saw her feet, even the shoes couldn't hide the bruises on them, but this didn't make him change his mind, he waved his hand, asked the guards around him to help, turned around and wanted to leave.

"Hey, you don't want to escort a crippled princess to the capital, who has been scolded by your emperor, you can leave me behind!" Pang Zhijing couldn't help but yelled when she saw how cold-blooded he was.

Xiao Hou paused, turned around, and there was no smile in his eyes, "The princess is right, then the king will come in person."

Saying that, the guards stepped back immediately to make room.

When Xiao Hou stood still under the tree, he raised his eyes, and just saw a powder blue shadow sitting on the branch clearly. The sun shone down, and he saw only her stubborn and unyielding eyes, and he squinted slightly. He closed his eyes, and the person had already landed like a butterfly.

Soon, the soft body fell into his arms.

The fragrance filled his nose, and he was suddenly a little dazed.

Pang Zhijing was still a little scared. In fact, she was a little afraid of heights, but in order to escape, she was always forced to do so. Xiao Hou had rescued her and picked her up again and again before, so in her heart, Xiao Hou was an enemy to her. , but also someone who is strong enough to guarantee her safety.

After Xiao Hou came back to his senses, he said coldly to the person who was patting his chest, "Princess, I don't like being threatened."

"To each other." Pang Zhijing replied.

Without any hesitation, Xiao Hou put her on the ground,

"You still have one last chance." Xiao Houpi reminded with a smile.

Pang Zhijing was stunned for a moment, and gave him a displeased look, "You don't need to remind me, I know!"

As she said that, she turned around and was about to leave, but before taking two steps, she suddenly turned around again.

Xiao Hou raised his eyebrows and looked at her trying to play another trick in puzzlement.

Pang Zhijing stretched out her hand, sipped it and said, "I'm hungry, give me some dry food first, and I'll return it to you when we meet again."

Xiao Hou was a little surprised, but looking at the embarrassed girl whose ears were red to the neck, his heart trembled slightly, and he suddenly felt in a good mood. He smiled softly, like a spring breeze blowing on his face, and the snow melted.

When Pang Zhijing heard his smile, she became angry from embarrassment, "If you don't give it, you won't give it. Why are you still making fun of me! How annoying!"

She turned around and wanted to leave, but she heard the person behind her say with a smile, "Come here, prepare some dry food for the princess to escape."

At this time, a guard handed over a small package. Pang Zhijing didn't even open it, and carried it directly on her back. She tightened the belt, lowered her head slightly, turned her back to him, and said in a serious voice, "Give me a day. If you find me, I won't run away."

Xiao Hou stared at this slender back. Although he was petite and weak, his voice at this time made him unexpectedly strong.

"Okay." He was silent for a moment, and finally answered.

"Okay, there will be no future!" Pang Zhijing smiled, turned around and showed him a bright smile, then waved her hands vigorously, and finally limped into the flowers.

"The future will be indefinite?" After the person left, Xiao Hou put her words into his mouth and chuckled lightly, "I'm really confident!"

"My lord, this Princess Nancang is full of tricks, we need to send someone to follow her, and wait until the time limit is up before arresting her?"

Chai Xingyu looked at the direction where no one was seen and proposed to ask, since Prince Nancang handed her over to the prince, those Nancang envoys no longer cared about the princess, and seemed to be gloating to see the prince suffer. The run is gone, so how do you go to the top when the time comes?

Xiao Hou held his hands behind his back, and his voice was gentle as usual, "Since I dare to make this bet, I naturally have my plan. You will take the envoys of Nan Cang and leave in the direction of the capital. You don't need to wait for us."

Chai Xingyu nodded, "This subordinate obeys."
