Chapter 611: Trapped Formation

Qiu Bi went back to Wutongxuan to visit her parents and would not be back until tomorrow.

Ning Yunxi finished setting up the formation and took a bath and changed clothes alone.

After the battle, she withdrew the formation as usual, but found that the person who controlled the formation had disappeared. Just as she was about to check the formation to see if there was anything wrong, she suddenly heard a cry from inside: "Help!"

Could it be that a new servant accidentally entered the battle and lost his way?

Ning Yunxi originally wanted to find a servant who was familiar with the place and lead the way to rescue people, but unexpectedly, there was no one around.

I thought my mother had something important to do again, so she transferred the people from Xiangzhuyuan to serve her. Fearing that Xiangzhuyuan would be empty, my mother promptly replaced them with a waiter, but accidentally got trapped in the formation.

After thinking about it, Ning Yunxi put on an outer coat and went in to rescue people.

Not long after she walked, she found the person who had broken into the enemy's formation.

"Hmm? Your Highness the Second Prince?"

"Why are you in my yard?"

Hearing her voice, Gu Nianting felt like he was rescued. He took two steps at a time and ran to her.

"Miss Ning San, you are finally here."

"Why does your yard look so strange? It's obviously not like this when I saw it during the day."

Ning Yunxi answered first and then bowed.

"This is the formation, which I set up."

"I wish your Highness the Second Prince good health."

Gu Nianting reached out and helped in time.

"In times of crisis, there's no need for courtesy."

"What is this formation? Take me away quickly. This place is not clean. There are dark things here. It is really scary."

Seeing how timid he was, Ning Yunxi couldn't help laughing.

"The details I have included do not contain anything obscure."

"Your Highness must have made a mistake."

Gu Nianting was uneasy and trembling with fear.

"I have seen it many times, and I am absolutely not mistaken."

A black shadow flashed by. He didn't dare to look closely and pointed his spear in panic.

"Look, it appears again!"

Ning Yunxi turned to look in the direction he pointed, and was really shocked. She subconsciously closed her eyes.

Then she realized that they were all fake, so she slowly opened her eyes and gradually regained her composure.

"Sure enough, the formation is different."

Gu Nianting was in great agony and wanted to cry but had no tears.

"What does it mean? It's dark and gloomy at night. Could it be that I did something bad and was punished by God?"

Seeing the Second Prince's fragile appearance for the first time, Ning Yunxi smiled helplessly.

"Don't panic, Your Highness."

"It's not a divine punishment. It's just that someone tampered with my formation."

Gu Nianting was so frightened that he couldn't straighten his back.

"Whatever it is? Let's just get going."

Ning Yunxi was in a peaceful state of mind.

"Well, Your Highness, please follow me."

After walking for a long time, the surrounding scenery was still strange, and Gu Nianting became more and more nervous.

"Is your yard so big? It's taken you so long to walk through it, but you haven't finished it yet?"

Ning Yunxi's face darkened and became extremely serious.

"It's not because of the size of the yard."

"The formation has been changed by someone, and I seem to be trapped in it and cannot get out."

Gu Nianting was filled with astonishment and broke out in a sweat.

"what?"

"Aren't you resourceful and the best counselor in the world? Who can trap you?"

Ning Yunxi was embarrassed.

"Your Highness is making fun of me."

"My reputation is just a name that is loud and famous. In fact, there are many people in the world who are more talented and intelligent than me."

Gu Nianting lost his usual pride and only dared to speak in a low voice.

"How can you, such talented and intelligent people, be so idle and bored? Why are you not sleeping so late at night? What are you doing?"

Ning Yunxi naturally thought of the political situation.

"Perhaps it is Prince Di Jin's men who intend to plot against the emperor, so they use a trick to trap me here."

Gu Nianting was shocked.

"So, Father is in danger?"

Ning Yunxi frowned.

"Maybe."

Gu Nianting immediately became panic-stricken and urged earnestly.

"If Emperor Jin succeeds and my father is defeated, our good days will be over."

"Without you by my father's side, it's like losing an arm."

"Think of a way quickly and go out to rescue him."

Ning Yunxi looked around, her pretty face showing distress.

"This person's formation is extremely clever. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to break it in a short time."

"We must first explore various places and familiarize ourselves with the battle formation."

Gu Nianting held his breath and bent his body weakly.

"Okay, I'll follow you."

"Walk slowly, and don't leave me behind."

Ning Yunxi responded indifferently.

"Yes."

It was eerily quiet along the way, and Gu Nianting tried to find something to chat with to ease the tension.

"You are quite brave. You are not afraid of dirty things."

"I thought you would be so scared that you would hide in my arms."

Ning Yunxi teased and sarcastically.

"Your Highness is so scared, so even if I am scared, what's the point of hiding in your arms?"

Gu Nianting was stubborn.

"How could I be frightened? I was in awe."

Ning Yunxi sneered silently.

"Well, awe."

Gu Nianting felt completely humiliated.

"Don't laugh at me."

Ning Yunxi found an exit, explored the way out, and looked at the night view around him. He was already near the northern suburbs.

The place was remote and Gu Nianting didn't know the way, so he asked.

"Where is this?"

Ning Yunxi often surveyed the terrain and was familiar with most of Shengjing, its suburbs, and nearby counties.

"To the north of Shengjing, further ahead, is the northern suburbs."

Gu Nianting was so frightened that he was dazed and couldn't react in time.

"Northern suburbs?"

"I heard from my father that the northern suburbs are very far from the imperial palace."

"We walked such a long way from Xiangzhuyuan?"

Ning Yunxi solved the problem.

"The northern suburbs are very close to Ning Mansion, so the distance we travel is not long."

At this time, several killers appeared.

Gu Nianting trembled and hid behind Ning Yunxi.

"There are men in black, help me..."

Ning Yunxi is calm and composed.

"There are not many of them. I can handle it. Your Highness, please be at ease."

Reaching into her arms, her expression changed to one of horror.

"Oops, I forgot to bring my own defense."

Gu Nianting was on edge and became even more frightened.

"What should I do?"

Ning Yunxi listened carefully and understood the situation, and came up with a clever idea in a critical situation.

"It seems that they have no intention of hurting anyone, they just want to lead us to the northern suburbs."

Gu Nianting gave a thorough analysis.

"It's not easy to take action in the city, so we led them to the northern suburbs. If we go there, we will be in great danger."

Ning Yunxi remained calm and composed.

"Going to the northern suburbs, it's not certain who will be lucky or unlucky."

"In the northern suburbs, there are continuous mountains. I can use the terrain to try to get rid of them."

Gu Nianting was worried.

"You want to go into the mountains? You'll get lost."

Ning Yunxi is calm and composed, and is good at speaking and comforting.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I know the way."

"Moving the rocks can also trap them in the opposite direction."

Gu Nianting was puzzled.

"The rocks are so heavy, how can a weak woman like you move them?"

Ning Yunxi answered concisely.

"Just pick the lightest ones, that's all."

She changed the subject and was encouraging.

"Besides, I can't move. Your Highness is also lacking in strength?"

Gu Nianting immediately straightened his back and patted his chest.

"Of course I am a match made in heaven, with a mighty power that can overwhelm mountains and rivers."

Ning Yunxi smiled in the spring breeze.

"Then I'll trouble Your Highness to help me."

The night breeze blew gently, and her long hair fluttered, just like Gu Nianting's pounding heart.

He had never seen such a pure smile, brighter than the moon, absolutely beautiful and flawless.

She seems to be different from the evildoer described in the storybooks.

She is pure white and beautiful, she doesn't know how to seduce men, nor does she know anything about women.

As the rumors say, he is resourceful but not scheming.

So beautiful, so special.
