Chapter 171 Marriage with the Princess 3
Yunyan suddenly covered Zhuang Xiaomeng's mouth and signaled him with her eyes to keep quiet.
Zhuang Xiaomeng was terribly frightened when she woke up and stood on a big tree. When she saw the officers and soldiers chasing after them below, her heart skipped a beat.
That Shen Quan seemed to be coming towards them, and she accidentally made a noise just now.
I regret it so much now, and my eyes are full of guilt.
Damn it, why don’t you just sleep till you die?
The moment Zhuang Xiaomeng made the noise, Yunyan felt that this girl probably didn't want to go with her and wanted to go back to live a good life, so she made the noise.
There was a flash of murderous intent in her eyes, and she looked at Zhuang Xiaomeng with cold eyes.
Zhuang Xiaomeng had never experienced so many big scenes. She was just a clear-headed and stupid college student and she noticed the coldness in Yunyan's eyes.
She wanted to die. Was she the legendary stupid teammate?
Shen Quan flew up to the tree with a light skill, but when he looked carefully, he found nothing on the tree.
It's strange. There was clearly some movement here just now, so why is there nothing here?
Is he just being overly nervous?
Zhuang Xiaomeng didn't dare to breathe, as Shen Quan was clearly on the branch below them.
He looked over here, but strangely, he seemed not to see them.
For a moment, she felt that she and Shen Quan looked at each other, but Shen Quan just ignored them as if he was looking at air.
Despite this, Zhuang Xiaomeng still didn't dare to move, because if Shen Quan flew to another level, he might run into them.
Shen Quan was still thinking about going up to find out what was going on when he was suddenly stopped by the soldiers below.
"General, there's movement in the bushes over there."
Upon hearing this, Shen Quan immediately flew down from the tree and ran to the other side.
Yunyan let go of the hand that was covering Zhuang Xiaomeng's mouth, with a cold look in her eyes.
She said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "If you want to go back, I will let you go down to find them later, but if you betray me, I will let you stay in this world forever."
Zhuang Xiaomeng got goose bumps all over her body, and her intuition told her that Yunyan was not kidding her.
She now wanted to slap herself 800 times. Why did she fail at the critical moment?
"Sister Ziyan, I don't want to go with them. I definitely don't mean to betray you. I really didn't mean it just now."
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."
Yunyan looked into her clear eyes with a complicated expression.
"I will trust you for now. If it happens again, I will abandon you without hesitation."
Zhuang Xiaomeng nodded quickly.
"Sister Zi Yan, don't worry. You saved my life. If it weren't for you, I might have been killed by the thieves in the post station. I will never betray you."
As Zhuang Xiaomeng spoke, she began to swear like Gualiu.
"I swear on my entire clan that if I tell even a single lie, my entire clan will be without descendants."
Yunyan looked at her with a bit of disgust in her eyes.
This girl has watched too many TV dramas.
"Okay, stop talking, they're back again."
Zhuang Xiaomeng quickly shut up.
Shen Quan went and came back. They had just searched that area and found no one.
He was a little annoyed now. Could it be possible that the princess could become invisible?
If he couldn't find the princess before dawn, the news would soon be passed back to Chang'an, and the emperor would surely be furious.
Looking up at the sky, he shouted to the soldiers around him, "Search up the trees. If you can't find anything, go somewhere else."
The soldiers received the order and did not dare to complain. They started climbing the trees one by one.
Zhuang Xiaomeng was still a little anxious.
Although Shen Quan didn't see them just now for some unknown reason, they are now trying to climb the tree.
Zhuang Xiaomeng's heart began to pound. Why did things become so big after traveling through time?
She didn't want to go to any damn Liao Kingdom, but she had read the novel.
The Liao Kingdom was not only a nomadic people, but the emperor was also extremely cruel. The maids around the princess all died tragically.
So she hates Shen Quan so much now that he wants to kill her, right?
Zhuang Xiaomeng looked at Yunyan for help.
Yunyan used the invisibility talisman and the breath-suppressing talisman, so she was not afraid of being found at all.
Besides, these minions combined are no match for her. The main reason she doesn't want to take action is because there are many wild beasts in the mountains.
The noise is too loud and might attract tigers, wild boars, etc., which would waste energy.
But Zhuang Xiaomeng looked at her with such pitiful eyes, and there was an indescribable feeling of despair.
Yunyan sighed softly, took out a stone from her body and threw it into the grass not far away.
The noise quickly attracted everyone's attention, and Shen Quan and his men hurriedly chased after it.
There really is something over there. It's too dark at night and the bushes are very tall.
Shen Quan couldn't see what it was at all, he just heard a loud noise.
The thing kept running away, and Shen Quan mistakenly thought it was Yunyan, so he led everyone to chase after it.
Yunyan watched until everyone had left before flying in the opposite direction with Zhuang Xiaomeng.
Shen Quan chased for a long time and finally caught up. Before he could be happy, he found that something seemed wrong.
At this time, they had already reached an area with low bushes. The figure in front of them was not a princess at all, but a giant python.
The giant python seemed to be irritated by them. It didn't want to cause trouble, but this group of people kept bothering it.
It spit out a long tongue and directly wrapped around Shen Quan.
The soldiers who came from behind were almost scared to death when they saw this.
This is the first time I have seen such a big python in my life. I’m afraid this snake is a spirit.
Almost all the soldiers retreated one after another. Shen Quan used up his last bit of strength to shout, "Quick, save me, stab the snake in the vital spot with your knife. I'll reward you with five hundred taels of silver."
When the soldiers heard the price of five hundred taels, they stopped hesitating. They could never earn five hundred taels of silver in their entire lives.
With everyone mustering up their courage and working together, the python was finally stabbed to death.
Shen Quan was breathing heavily. This forest was not safe.
Without having time to rest, he ordered everyone to retreat.
This time, Yunyan simply took Zhuang Xiaomeng and flew directly to a dilapidated temple.
Not long after she rested, she heard a commotion outside again.
Helplessly, Yunyan had to take everyone to fly to a tall and dense tree.
Looking down, it was indeed Shen Quan.
Yunyan started complaining directly to Wangcai in her mind.
"Wangcai, did Shen Quan install a GPS on me? I hid so far away, but he was still able to come here."
Wangcai was also helpless.
"Host, Shen Quan is Murong Yi's right-hand man, and he will be a great general with great military achievements in the future. He has a certain amount of luck."
"So, even if you run away, the story will be told back to square one as much as possible."
Yunyan was speechless. It was this damn plot again. She just didn't believe it. If she was caught by Shen Quan today, she would read her name backwards.
