Time Travel: Brothel Maid

Chapter 185 Come out

Watching the ground getting farther and farther away from her, Xiao Guoer was so scared that she quickly grabbed the clothes of the person holding her, for fear that she would fall down accidentally.

Only when her feet landed firmly on the ground again did she breathe a sigh of relief.

"My Lord, where should we go?"

Xiao Guoer looked at the dense jungle and couldn't help thinking about their current predicament.

Zhao Yunrong, however, did not seem to be worried at all. He was very lazy and said casually, "Let's go find some food first. We can't get out of this forest on an empty stomach."

Xiao Guoer nodded repeatedly in agreement, "Then let's go catch some fish and grill them!"

She still remembered the dream she had last night. The rich smell of fish in the dream seemed to still linger around her nose, making her so hungry that she felt her stomach growling.

Zhao Yunrong raised his eyebrows, without commenting, but walked towards the stream.

If he was a little worried just now, he is now completely relieved.

It has been two days since he was assassinated. The longer the time goes, the better it is for him.

If the assassins failed to kill him, they would have lost the advantage. Moreover, these assassins could only act stealthily and had to hide when they encountered the imperial court soldiers. However, the imperial court would continuously send more soldiers to find his whereabouts.

Just now, as he walked along, he only saw one assassin and no other assassins. He must have killed many assassins since yesterday.

On the way, he did see two men dressed as soldiers, but for some reason he avoided them from afar.

Thinking of his hidden thoughts that he couldn't tell anyone, Zhao Yunrong couldn't help but cast his gaze on Xiao Guo'er, who was half a step behind him and following closely beside him.

He didn't know how chaotic the situation was outside, he should have gone out earlier and made deployments as soon as possible.

But it was really irrational for him to do something that would delay time just to spend more time alone with her.

It was not until he caught the fish, heard her familiar cheers, grilled the fish, and saw her eat the fish with relish, that he felt the delayed time was worth it, and his heart was filled with joy and comfort.

However, even if he intended to hide, they were soon discovered due to the search and rescue by a large number of officers and soldiers.

Xiao Guoer had just eaten half of the fish in her hand when she vaguely saw two figures in the distance gradually approaching them.

Because of yesterday's experience, Xiao Guoer did not dare to take it lightly before she could see clearly whether the two men were friends or enemies. She immediately walked to the side of the Eighth Prince in panic and pulled the man to hide behind a tree.

While hiding, she lowered her voice and said to the man, "Your Majesty! Look at those two people!"

He was holding the wooden stick with the fish on it and was reluctant to throw it away. He held it high and pointed it in the distance.

The two men were very close to each other in order to avoid each other. Zhao Yunrong only glanced at the two people in the distance, and his attention was attracted by the person in front of him.

A gentle voice echoed in my ears, and the light breathing sound seemed to be amplified in an instant, becoming extremely clear, and I could even hear every rise and fall.

His eyes gradually dimmed as he stared blankly at the panic and alertness on the face of the person in front of him. His greasy lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to tempt people to taste him.

After a moment, she seemed to finally see the two men's clothes clearly, and she immediately jumped forward from behind the tree happily, waving the wooden stick with half of the fish left as she ran, as if to attract the attention of the two soldiers.

Zhao Yunrong looked at her back with a sense of loss. Unlike her face full of joy and excitement, he actually felt a sense of regret that he had to go back so soon.

Things went extremely smoothly afterwards. Under the guidance of the officers and soldiers, they walked for about two hours and finally left the dense forest.

During the march, Zhao Yunrong learned from the officers and soldiers about the situation outside during the days he disappeared.

He was assassinated that day, most of his guards were killed, and even Shen Jing was seriously injured.

Xiao Guoer, who was standing by, couldn't help but interrupt anxiously when she heard this, "How is Tang Jingchen? Is he injured?"

When Xiao Guoer heard the soldiers say that Young Master Tang was not injured, she was finally relieved and kept shouting, "Thank God!"

Zhao Yunrong couldn't stand her behavior and calmly changed the subject. The officers and soldiers respectfully reported everything they knew, but what they knew was limited. Zhao Yunrong only knew about some turmoil in Huaiyang City.

Needless to say, the Huaiyang prefect Wu Zinian has been unable to sleep at night since the Eighth Prince disappeared. He was worried that the Eighth Prince had really been killed in his own territory, and that the captured assassin would either bite his tongue to commit suicide or insist after being caught that he was a remnant of the previous dynasty.

Wu Zinian was so frightened that he almost went insane. He didn't know that there were so many remnants of the previous dynasty in Huaiyang City. He, the prefect, had no idea about it and let them ambush and assassinate the Eighth Prince on his way back to Beijing. With such a serious crime, not only would he lose his official hat, but he would also lose his head for a long time! He was so scared that he burned incense and worshipped Buddha every day to pray for the Eighth Prince to be safe.

After the two men came out of the woods, they got on a carriage and headed to Wu Zinian's mansion under the escort of many officers and soldiers.

Halfway through the journey, Wu Zinian and officials of all ranks in Yangzhou City, who had received the news, had already hurried over to welcome the Eighth Prince who had returned safely.

On the one hand, everyone's eyes were filled with tears of relief at the news that they had finally saved their lives, and on the other hand, they wanted to show their concerns in front of the Eighth Prince. For a while, everyone was crying one after another.

"Your Majesty! I'm so glad you're okay!"

"If I can see the prince again, I won't have any regrets even if I die immediately!"

"My Lord... wuwuwu..."

When everyone was surrounding the Eighth Prince to show their loyalty, Xiao Guoer took advantage of no one's attention and happily threw herself into the arms of her boyfriend who had rushed over with her. After complaining about the hardships she had experienced in the past two days, she smiled brightly as if she had survived a disaster.

Zhao Yunrong suppressed his impatience and perfunctorily responded to the officials who were crying like women. But when he saw the intimacy between the two people out of the corner of his eye, he was too lazy to respond and just said that he was injured and needed to find a place to rest.

Wu Zinian then hurriedly dismissed the officials who expressed their loyalty and arranged for officers and soldiers to escort him on his journey.

Zhao Yunrong watched Xiao Guoer get on Tang Jingchen's carriage with her eyes bent and her face as beautiful as a flower. She pursed her lips, thought about it, and finally suppressed her displeasure and let her go without saying a word.

Now is not the time to make it clear. Acting too hastily will only backfire.

If a good hunter wants to catch a living thing, he needs a lot of patience, otherwise he will only get a lifeless dead thing.
