After getting Ran Yunpo's permission, Ran Yunshang quickly left the Chu Prince's Mansion with Xi Honglei.
The two walked out of the gate of Prince Chu's Mansion with heavy steps. When they reached the place where Prince Chu's Mansion could no longer be seen, Ran Yunshang slowed down, looked at Xi Honglei beside him with hazy eyes, and asked: "Honglei, this
what is going on?"
"I don't know either." Xi Honglei frowned and shook his head. He had completely calmed down and sobered up. Thinking that he had spoken against Ran Yunpo just now, Xi Honglei couldn't help but feel a little scared. He secretly told himself that he must not mess up.
"Anyway, judging from the prince's attitude on this matter, there is no room for maneuver."
Ran Yunshang bit her lower lip, and her probing eyes stayed on Xi Honglei for a long time. Seeing Xi Honglei's confused look, Ran Yunshang sighed helplessly and decided to put the matter aside for now.
"Let's go, don't think so much now." Ran Yunshang said to Xi Honglei with a forced smile, "Don't you want to go back to Xi Mansion? We will discuss this matter when we return to the palace."
Xi Honglei nodded and walked in the direction of Xi Mansion. But after taking a few steps, Ran Yunshang beside her stopped again.
"Honglei, you go back to Xifu by yourself. I have something to do elsewhere. I will go to Xifu to find you later, do you understand?"
"Understood." Xi Honglei looked at Ran Yunshang hesitantly, wanting to ask her where she wanted to go, but seeing Ran Yunshang's solemn expression, Xi Honglei swallowed the question again and warned herself not to talk too much.
Separating from Ran Yunshang, Xi Honglei walked alone on the road. But as he walked, Xi Honglei felt that something was wrong again.
Vigilantly scanning the people behind him with his peripheral vision, Xi Honglei thought about it, but he didn't think they were people sent by Ran Yunpo or Leng Xiao.
Did he offend someone who shouldn't be offended? Xi Honglei kept guessing the identities of the men behind him. At the same time, he changed his route and walked quickly towards a place with more people.
Then he touched the place where he hid the protective dagger without leaving a trace, ready to fight the enemy at any time.
As expected by Xi Honglei, she had just walked for a while when the people behind her started to take action.
More than a dozen people swarmed up and surrounded Xi Honglei. Xi Honglei looked at the passers-by who did not dare to mind their own business because of fear, narrowed his eyes without any trace, and asked: "Who are you?"
The leading man laughed when he heard Xi Honglei's question. He slowly approached Xi Honglei's body. The man glanced at Xi Honglei's body with his lewd eyes, and finally landed on Xi Honglei's chest, smiling evilly.
Said: "Who are we? You will know later! Come on, brothers! Take her back to the village for me!"
As soon as the man finished speaking, the men beside him rushed towards Xi Honglei and tried to take her away. When Xi Honglei saw that something was not going well, he instantly drew out his dagger and cut her with the blade at lightning speed.
The first man to pounce on her skin.
In a moment, the injured man fell to the ground without breathing. And this turn of events also stopped the remaining people from moving forward, not daring to approach Xi Honglei's body easily. They were all cautious.
They stared at the dagger in Xi Honglei's hand and looked at each other.
"If you don't want to die, just stay away from me!" Xi Honglei snorted coldly, trying to find a way to escape. But what Xi Honglei didn't expect was that after she tried hard to fight her opponent, she couldn't find a way to escape.
A quarter of an hour later, another large number of people swarmed in and appeared in front of Xi Honglei.
The appearance of forty or fifty people made Xi Honglei feel desperate for a moment. A small packet of medicinal powder slipped out from his sleeves. Xi Honglei gritted his teeth and found the right moment. When the enemy was not paying attention, he sprinkled the powder on the ground.
In the air, he covered his breath, and when the enemy was confused, he rushed out with a dagger in hand.
Running forward desperately, Xi Honglei didn't even have the courage to look back and see how many people had fallen. He just wanted to get rid of these people and escape to a safe place.
"Where are you going in a hurry, Miss Xi?" Someone suddenly stood in front of Xi Honglei. Xi Honglei had to be stunned and turned sideways to pass her to avoid knocking her to the ground.
.Looking at Shui Rongyan in front of her, Xi Honglei prepared to move on before she had time to say a word to her. But Shui Rongyan was not prepared to let her leave so easily.
"Xi Honglei, although there are some misunderstandings between you and me, it's not to the point where we can't talk when we meet, right?" Shui Rongyan firmly grabbed Xi Honglei's wrist and said with a smile: "
It’s better to choose a day than to hit it. Miss Xi, you might as well go have a meal with me and have a chat, what do you think?”
Shui Rongyan's repeated obstruction made Xi Honglei suddenly have a flash of light in his mind, and he understood something. He shook off Shui Rongyan's hand vigorously, and Xi Honglei glanced at those who had caught up. His eyes flashed.
He flashed and held the water-soluble smoke in front of himself.
"What are you going to do?!" Shui Rongyan obviously didn't expect Xi Honglei to make such a move, and his expression suddenly changed.
"Would Miss Shui not know what I'm going to do?" Xi Honglei sneered in response to Shui Rongyan's question, and whispered: "If Miss Shui is smart, don't move around. Because my dagger is full of thorns.
It's highly poisonous. If you scratch your skin even slightly, you won't have a chance to see Prince Chu again. If you don't believe it, just ask these people."
"You, let me go!" Xi Honglei's words made Shui Rongyan's face turn a little pale. He spoke to Xi Honglei with a trembling voice, and Shui Rongyan also winked at the men who were chasing after them, calling them
Find the right moment to take Xi Honglei away.
"Back off! Otherwise I will kill her!" Xi Honglei, who had already determined that Shui Rongyan was related to the men in front of her, said with cold eyes. The thought of killing Shui Rongyan also arose in her heart.
After coming here for so long, Xi Honglei has been in a state of patience. She wants to handle everything smoothly and try not to kill anyone. But the water-soluble smoke comes again and again.
He was looking for trouble for her, and now he even came up with such a nasty method!
"Kill me, the prince will not let you go!" Shui Rongyan said it to Ran Yunpo without hesitation, trying to threaten Hong Lei.
But who knew that instead of being threatened by her, Xi Honglei smiled softly and said, "It seems that Miss Shui doesn't know yet that the prince has decided to marry me."
"What?!" Shui Rongyan was stunned and turned around quickly. Unexpectedly, the moment she turned her head, she bumped into the blade of Xi Honglei and cut her skin.
