Time Travel: Brothel Maid

Chapter 168 Uncommon Words

Although there was an incense burner lit on the carriage, emitting bursts of sandalwood, Zhao Yunrong could still smell the faint sweet fragrance that he had smelled yesterday.

The fragrance was vague, lingering around his nose like wisps of smoke, disturbing his mind and making him a little absent-minded.

Xiao Guoer took a deep breath and assumed the posture of participating in a reading competition in her previous life, reading the contents of the book in her hand in a clear and rhythmic voice. She was completely immersed in it and did not notice that the only audience member was not listening at all.

Suddenly, her voice stopped, and the air in the carriage seemed to freeze for a moment.

Then, as if feeling guilty, she slowly raised her eyes from the page and cautiously glanced at the man reclining on the couch.

When she saw the man staring at her, she immediately lowered her eyebrows and eyes.

After a moment, she slowly opened her mouth again, but her voice was not as strong as before, and revealed a sense of hesitation and weakness.

Although Zhao Yunrong was distracted halfway through, he came back to his senses the moment she paused.

I could hear what she said after the pause, coupled with her sneaky look, the corners of his eyes unconsciously curled up a little.

"That word is pronounced 'wu'." Zhao Yunrong said softly.

Xiao Guoer felt her face getting hot. She actually didn't recognize many words!

Yet he still heard it!

shameful!

Xiao Guoer felt a sense of shame in her heart. She took a deep breath and repeated the sentence according to the correct pronunciation instructed by the man.

As she continued reading, unfamiliar characters that she didn't recognize would pop up from time to time. Whenever she uttered a syllable of hesitation or pause, the Eighth Prince would always speak at the right time to answer her questions.

It was not until Xiao Guoer felt that she was thirsty from reading that she heard the man say in a gracious manner, "Okay, take a break. You can use whatever you want on the table."

Xiao Guo'er's mind moved. She put down the book and tried to ask, "Your Majesty, why don't I leave first? I will come back when Your Majesty wants to listen."

As soon as she finished speaking, she keenly felt that although the Eighth Prince's posture did not change, the way he looked at her had changed, and there was a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

There's nothing wrong with what she said...

Just when she was wondering why he was suddenly unhappy, she heard his faintly deep voice, "I allowed you to rest for a while because I felt sorry for your tiredness. When did you stop talking? If you don't need to rest, then continue reading."

"Of course I need it. Thank you for your consideration, Your Highness." Xiao Guoer said hurriedly, fearing that she would miss the opportunity to rest. The less she could read, the better.

But, how long would he have to hear it? Would he let her keep repeating it all the way?

When Xiao Guoer thought of this possibility, she couldn't help feeling dejected. She even wished she was a mute.

With a unhappy mood, Xiao Guoer poured another cup of tea and drank it all.

Seeing that the fruits on the small table looked fresh and delicious, I thought of trying one.

Anyway, he also said that she could use it as she pleased, so it would be a waste if she didn't eat it!

Just as she stood up to reach for the fruit plate, she didn't expect the carriage to hit a small stone. The body of the carriage jolted instantly, and Xiao Guo'er's half-standing body staggered forward and almost bumped into the Eighth Prince who was half-lying on the couch.

She was so frightened that she quickly supported herself on the wall of the carriage with both hands to stop herself from falling forward. She breathed a sigh of relief when the carriage stabilized.

She stood up quickly from when she was only half a meter away from the Eighth Prince, grabbed a fruit and sat back down.

Zhao Yunrong only felt the sweet fragrance coming to his nose instantly, and then dissipated instantly as the man stood up, leaving only a trace of residue at the tip of his nose.

A sudden fire of evil rose in his heart, and he realized the fluctuation of emotions, which made his face gloomy.

Is he crazy? !

Following a crisp "crunch" sound, Zhao Yunrong couldn't help but look over. The lips that were covered with juice and looked fuller and softer suddenly came into his sight, and his pupils contracted due to the stimulation.

The nameless anger in his heart grew more and more anxious.

Suddenly, he seemed to be unable to bear the stuffy space in the carriage and shouted to the outside, "Stop."

"Whoa..." Then the sound of a horse being reined in was heard outside.

One side of Xiao Guo'er's cheek was bulging with fruit pulp. As she was chewing it like a hamster, she saw the moody Eighth Prince suddenly stand up and walk out of the car.

Before leaving, he said to her, "I'm going to take a breath, you wait here."

"Yes." Xiao Guoer rolled her eyes at his back, then bit the fruit in her hand viciously with a "crunch". She bit the fruit so cleanly and cleanly as if she imagined it was someone's flesh.

Zhao Yunrong rode on the horse for a while before he felt the anxiety in his heart eased.

He frowned and looked towards his carriage, seeming to be troubled.

Before he could figure out what he wanted to do with that boy, all his muscles tensed up instantly.

Out of his defensive instinct against the approaching danger, he felt a sudden strong murderous aura.

"alert!"

Shen Jing also felt the murderous aura at the same time. He instantly tightened his grip on the sword at his waist, and his whole body was on alert.

All the guards looked around vigilantly, panic appeared in everyone's eyes, and all of them had their swords drawn, ready for battle.

They were now on a mountain path, with towering rugged mountains on both sides.

The murderous aura was like a surging ocean wave, overwhelming the sky and earth. The horses in the team seemed to sense the approaching danger and neighed nervously, as if issuing a warning to the people.

Xiao Guoer heard the noise outside and stuck her head out of the carriage to see what was going on.

As Xiao Guoer lifted a corner of the car curtain, she heard a whooshing sound in the air. She looked up at the sky and opened her mouth in surprise.

Because she was horrified to see the dense swarms of arrows like bee pupae shot from the sky in the distance.

She hurriedly lowered the curtain and retreated into the carriage. Then, a dull "thump" sound was heard from the carriage. It was the sound of arrows hitting the wooden boards of the carriage. Each sound was like a heavy hammer hitting Xiao Guoer's heart, making her panic-stricken. Fear enveloped her whole body, and even her hair stood on end.

The crisp sound of the long sword hitting the arrow outside the carriage, accompanied by sporadic groans, continued to sound, making her nervous nerves even more tense.

Just as the sound of arrows gradually subsided and she was about to lift the curtain again to see what was going on outside, she heard a sharp cry of a horse, and then her body fell backwards involuntarily due to inertia.

The carriage suddenly rushed forward at a very fast speed!

Xiao Guoer's head hit the wall of the carriage heavily. Enduring the pain, she slowly sat up from the violently shaking carriage.

This horse must have been hit by the arrow just now!
