Chapter six hundred and ninety-six arrested prince
On the hill, Luo Lan sat in a pavilion, looking at the small bridges and flowing water around her. There was also a guzheng inside. She played it gently, and the melodious sound was transmitted far away.
"Miss Luo is indeed the most talented woman in Dongli. She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. If she becomes the Crown Princess, she will be of great help to the Crown Prince."
The palace maid who was hiding in secret spoke with admiration.
Everyone else nodded. I don’t know how many people want to become the Crown Princess. Those wealthy families are all trying hard to send the younger women of their families to the East Palace, but there is no way. Here, the Crown Prince is rushing to catch up.
The gap was immediately apparent, but they were not surprised. The first family in Dongli was worthy of the prince's win over them.
"This girl, Li Yue, is so tight around her, but she doesn't show up. What do you want to do?"
While Luo Lan was playing, she was thinking about who the other party wanted to meet.
At the foot of the mountain, a group of luxuriously dressed people were walking, carrying a sedan. They were surrounded by top warriors, looking at the surroundings warily. There were also many guards lying in wait nearby. With a single order, hundreds of arrows could be fired.
Turn the enemy into a hedgehog.
The time agreed between Luo Lan and Li Yue had passed, and the maids around Luo Lan were getting a little impatient. At this time, they finally saw a group of people slowly walking towards here.
"That's...the prince?"
The maid next to Luo Lan spoke in surprise.
Luo Lan looked at the group of people walking towards here not far away, her eyes flashed, and she shook her head helplessly, "It seems that this little girl Li Yue tricked me into being a matchmaker for his brother."
Hearing this, the maid next to her smiled and said, "Miss, you can't say that. I don't know how many women want to become the Crown Princess. If you agree, when the Crown Prince ascends the throne, you will be the mother of a country. This is the greatest honor for a woman.
ah."
"Mother of a Nation..."
Luo Lan muttered something in a low voice, smiled and shook her head, as if she was a little disdainful, but didn't say anything more and sat there quietly. Since this was Li Yue's painstaking arrangement, it wouldn't be too good to just turn around and leave. After all,
Since he is the crown prince of Dongli Kingdom, he still has to give him some face.
In the sedan chair, the prince opened the curtain and saw Luo Lan. His eyes lit up. The younger sister had indeed not lied to him. If this happened, he must thank this little girl properly.
Soon, they arrived at the small building, stopped the sedan chair, and Li Qian walked out of the sedan chair with a majestic appearance and a calm expression on his face. He confidently walked towards the pavilion, followed not far away by three guards.
Seeing the prince, all the maids around Luo Lan saluted respectfully, while Luo Lan was too lazy to move and sat there quietly, just nodding.
Li Qian didn't care about these etiquettes, and sat across from Luo Lan with a smile, "It's been a while, Miss Luo has taken a step forward in music theory."
"It's an honor. It's not as good as the musicians in the palace. They just played it casually, but it made the prince laugh."
Luo Lan smiled lightly, neither distant nor enthusiastic in response.
"Where's that girl Li Yue? She said she invited me to this place for tea, why doesn't she come out?"
Li Qian glanced around and spoke curiously. He also thought that this girl could help him answer the call so as not to make the atmosphere awkward.
Luo Lan raised her eyebrows, "Didn't she come with the prince?"
"No, I received a letter from this little girl. How can she be willing to return to the palace with her temperament?"
Hearing this, Li Qian smiled and shook his head.
"This girl seems to have deceived us all. She didn't come at all."
Luo Lan shook her head and said helplessly.
Hearing this, Li Qian also smiled and shook his head, "When I go back, I will talk to her carefully. She is fooling around outside every day, but it just so happens that we haven't seen each other for a while. This time I brought some tea and cakes from the palace. , it just so happens that Miss Luo can help me taste it."
As he said that, he waved his hand, and a servant immediately brought a bunch of good things, including tea, mountain spring water, cups, pastries, and even some exquisite dishes, which were still steaming.
After a while, the table was filled with all kinds of delicious food.
It seems that this is all carefully prepared.
"This little girl Li Yue didn't come, and she happens to be much cleaner. Miss Luo, please."
Li Qian smiled and spoke.
The other people in the pavilion left wisely and stayed around, not to disturb the prince and Miss Luo.
Luo Lan looked at the prince's enthusiasm, and although she was reluctant, she still picked up the chopsticks and was about to taste it. Suddenly, a chuckle sounded, "Don't wait for Princess Liyue, what you are doing is a bit unauthentic. However, I can help her pack it, and by the way, I can also try the cooking skills of the palace chef."
Luo Lan and Li Qian were startled when they heard the sudden sound, but the next moment they reacted immediately, their expressions changed, and they subconsciously wanted to retreat.
However, a figure in black robe suddenly appeared in the pavilion, stretched out his hands and put them on the shoulders of the two people.
Both Li Qian and Luo Lan felt a powerful and unrivaled force that instantly blocked the meridians throughout their bodies.
They all looked at the man in black who suddenly appeared with their eyes wide open and a look of shock on their faces.
"There are assassins protecting the prince!"
At this time, the surrounding guards realized that the prince's three half-step master guards saw the prince falling into the hands of the man in black who suddenly appeared. Rescue the prince.
"I don't have time to play with you, otherwise, it would be easy to alert the experts in the capital."
Mo Chen calmly watched the three half-step masters coming. In the past, he would have been confident that he could defeat one of them at most. If two people joined forces, he would be defeated. If three people joined forces, he would not be able to escape.
But now, he chuckled and his body disappeared instantly, along with Li Qian and Luo Lan.
The next moment, their figures appeared dozens of meters away, and they were still leaving at a faster speed. In the blink of an eye, they seemed to be ghosts and left hundreds of meters away.
Seeing this scene, the three half-step masters stopped instantly, and two of them continued to rush forward. One of them sent out a signal bomb, and the sky exploded. The masters in the capital were also the first to notice.
As for the hidden guards, they were all a little confused at this time. Mo Chen's appearance was too sudden and his speed was ridiculously fast. Before they could react, Mo Chen had already left with them.
Seeing the prince and Luo Lan disappearing, the prince's maid from the palace came out dully and looked at Luo Lan's maid with a cold face, "What a good thing your Luo family has done!"
"It's none of our business. Didn't you see that our lady was also taken away?"
Hearing the other party's voice, maid Luo Lan also spoke angrily. Luo Lan is the only woman in the Luo family. If anything happens, the Luo family will not let it go.
"The prince was captured. This is a big deal. The one who took action just now is definitely the Grandmaster. Even if he follows, it is impossible to rescue the person. The only hope is that our Grandmaster takes action, and we also pray that the other party will not
Be cruel to the prince."
The prince's maid murmured to herself that they were too weak and of little use against the top masters.
However, it was useless, they had to do something, otherwise, if the king blamed them, they would all die.
Thinking of this, she immediately ordered to go down and seal off the mountain forest, trying to keep the other party here.
She rushed to the palace in person to report the matter to the king. At the same time, she also roped in Luo Lan's maid, so that she could be convincing.
In the palace, the king who was resting suddenly heard a voice outside the city and opened his eyes in surprise. He heard correctly, that was the prince's unique distress signal.
In the darkness, a figure appeared and spoke in a low voice, "The prince was fooled by the Grandmaster's aura."
"Let Li Qing go, and send someone to invite Mr. Tie. We must bring the prince back safely."
The king spoke indifferently.
Upon hearing this, the darkness on the side disappeared instantly, and soon, a terrifying aura appeared in the city, rushing out of the city at lightning speed.
In the blacksmith shop, Mr. Tie was lying leisurely on a chair. Suddenly he noticed the movement outside the city. He opened his eyes and murmured to himself, "I finally took action. It was aimed at the prince. Oh, forget it, and
It doesn't matter to me, and I can't control that much."
As he said that, he glanced at the young apprentice not far away and said lazily, "If anyone comes, please tell me I'm not here and I'm going out."
When the young apprentice heard this, he was a little confused, but he still nodded.
Mr. Tie got up from the chair and went into the house, intending to take a nap. However, the next moment, his body stiffened, he turned around helplessly, came to the table, poured a glass of water, and looked at the figure opposite.
"The prince has been arrested and needs you to go away."
The figure spoke calmly.
"The prince was arrested, but it was not my son who was arrested. It has nothing to do with me."
Mr. Tie said calmly.
"This is Star Sand. What you need is only three grains. It should be enough for you to take action, right?"
The other party didn't talk nonsense. With a wave of his hand, three colorful pieces of fine sand appeared on the table. Each one was only the size of a grain of rice, but crystal clear and emitting colorful light.
This is a royal reward. Every time you invite Mr. Tie to take action, you must bring out corresponding treasures. But just a few treasures can invite a grandmaster. It is definitely an extremely cost-effective deal, and it is something that many people can only dream of.
Looking at the Xingchen Sand on the table, Mr. Tie smiled bitterly, "In the past, I would have accepted this business, but this time, I don't plan to participate."
"Um?"
The figure in front of me sounded a little confused.
"These people are very strong. If I got involved rashly, I might get myself involved."
Mr. Tie spoke calmly.
"Do you know the people who did it? Who are they?"
Hearing this, the figure opposite narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice.
"I don't know them, and I don't want to know them. I just know that they are looking for money. As long as you can meet each other's conditions, the prince will be fine. I don't know about the rest."
Mr. Tie spoke indifferently.
"By the way, I would like to warn you that the other party is not simple. If you really fight to the death, your background will probably be involved."
After saying that, he waved to indicate that the other party could leave.
Hearing this, the other party didn't say anything else. Communication between masters doesn't require too much nonsense. If it works, it works, if it doesn't, it doesn't work. No matter how much you say, it's useless.
