Chapter 78 The plan succeeded, and I was eager to go home
She was yawning in the bushes, and soon the sound of horse hooves and cart wheels could be heard.
The sound of horse hooves seemed to be stepping on her heart, and her heart was beating non-stop.
Until Gu Shicheng appeared from the end on horseback, her heart beat more violently, her hands trembled a little, and she tried to calm herself down.
Looking at Gu Shicheng wearing a purple official robe and riding on a horse, his eyes were cold.
She took out the stunning bullet from her sleeve, aimed at the carriage of the Princess of Mengnan, and prepared to throw it.
At this moment, a clever and soft voice came from the carriage, "Stop."
Helan Xuenuo retracted her throwing posture.
Did I get exposed?
Gu Shicheng and his men stopped their horses.
A man dressed in a foreign style rode up to the carriage and talked.
At this time, a white hand reached out and lifted the curtain, and a girl walked out of the sedan chair. She was wearing foreign clothes, a woolen hat on her head, and furry clothes on her body. Her dress was novel and different from that of the people of Donglai.
When she poked her head out, her face was filled with innocence.
A maid followed behind him.
After getting off the carriage, the two of them went into the jungle.
Helan Xuenuo was secretly delighted, thinking that God was really helping her. The princess came to urinate, and it seemed that she would have to walk for a long time and go into a deeper place.
She then moved to where the princess was about to relieve herself.
The maidservant was standing a few meters away from the princess, who was hiding in the bushes to urinate.
Helan Xuenuo thought to herself, "I'm sorry."
He threw a stunning bullet, and the maid was caught off guard and fainted on the ground.
She slowly moved behind the princess and waited for her to finish urinating.
After the princess finished relieving herself, she stood up and turned around to see a man in black staring at her. She looked behind him and saw the maid lying on the ground. She knew something was wrong and screamed, "Second brother, help me."
Helan Xuenuo grabbed her with a smile, put a dagger in front of her neck, told her not to move, and led her forward.
This was her first time to kidnap someone, so she was a little unfamiliar with it.
As for the way to escape, she had also thought of it. There was a low cliff a few meters behind her, and there was a river under the cliff. She could just jump into the river and escape. After the experience of Qi Didi causing her to fall into the ice hole, she had already learned to swim.
When all the troops appeared in front of her, the man dressed in foreign clothes, whom the Princess of Mengnan called her "Second Brother", said anxiously, "Don't hurt her, or I will tear you into pieces."
However, Gu Shicheng behind the prince of Mengnan Kingdom was much calmer and watched everything happen calmly. When he looked at Helan Xuenuo, Helan Xuenuo avoided him guiltily, as she couldn't let him recognize her.
Gu Shicheng frowned slightly.
She changed her voice to a gruff one and said, "If you want her to live, you have to listen to me. The one who... the best-looking one, come here."
Everyone was wondering who was the most beautiful.
Helan Xuenuo said, "Don't look at it, the one in purple is you."
A hint of displeasure flashed across Gu Shicheng's eyes. He blinked coldly and walked towards Helan Xuenuo.
When Gu Shicheng was a few steps away from her, Helan Xuenuo signaled him to stop.
Helan Xuenuo was just thinking about how to get Gu Shicheng to be a hero and save the damsel in distress.
If you ask Gu Shicheng directly whether he is willing to exchange the princess, I guess Gu Shicheng will say no directly because of his personality.
While she was thinking, she saw someone moving towards her.
He glared at him and the young guard stopped immediately.
She smiled with fake pride and said, "You've already messed with me. Even if you don't die today, my brothers are lying in ambush outside the capital and will kill you."
The Second Prince of Mengnan asked, "Who are you?"
Helan Xuenuo didn't want to pay attention to him, but just revealed this information to let them consider the ambush outside the capital. In the previous life, the second prince arranged people to the suburbs of the capital to come and save the beauty.
Having said that, they must have concerns in their hearts, and for safety reasons, they will also try to find ways to prevent it.
The second prince's plan to save the beauty would definitely be useless.
She decided to go all out and pushed the princess into Gu Shicheng's arms. Gu Shicheng took the trembling princess and they looked at each other.
After this eye contact, Helan Xuenuo knew that Princess Mengnan had never met Gu Shicheng.
Anyway, we have already achieved most of the success.
The princess stayed in her room until she arrived at the post station, and got on the carriage after leaving her room, without ever meeting Gu Shicheng. Now she could clearly see Gu Shicheng's features and found him to be so handsome. There had never been a man with such delicate features in Mengnan Kingdom.
The princess was mesmerized by what she saw.
Gu Shicheng had an expressionless face as he straightened the princess.
Chasing after Helan Xuenuo who was running away.
Everyone was a little confused. Was this... a killer? Did the kidnapper escape mid-hostage?
Helan Xuenuo ran to the low cliff. Seeing that she had no way to retreat, Gu Shicheng curled up the corner of his mouth with a sinister smile, took the bow and arrow from the guard beside him, and prepared to shoot.
Helan Xuenuo remained calm and composed, with a smug smile beneath her mask. She jumped back and dodged his arrow.
Gu Shicheng suddenly felt puzzled. He wondered what this person's purpose was in doing this.
The guard said, "Do we need to go down and catch him?"
Gu Shicheng asked, "Is this the Shiluo River?"
The guard replied, "That's right, the legendary Shiluo River."
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he waved his hand to signal retreat. "No need, she's not here to kill. Is there an ambush outside the capital? I guess she wanted to reveal this information. Since she fell into the Shiluo River, she must be unaware of its power. Let her go."
After Helan Xuenuo jumped into the river, she held her breath for a long time. She did not dare to surface for fear of being caught.
Just then a figure jumped into the river and swam towards her.
No way? He even jumped into the river to catch her?
She swam in another direction, but the person behind her had long arms and legs and swam faster than her. If she didn't get out, she would choke to death. The person grabbed the corner of her clothes and dragged her to the shore.
Her eyes were stinging from the water, and she touched the bomb in her sleeve, ready to throw it out.
The man on the other side shouted, "What? You're going to kill me too."
Hearing a familiar voice, she retracted the bomb.
When he opened his eyes, the person in front of him was Yuan Xu.
She wondered if she had seen it wrong and rubbed her eyes which were red from being choked by the river water.
It turned out to be Yuan Xu.
I felt relieved instantly, without the panic I had just felt.
Yuan Xu looked worried, "What are you doing? Hijacking?"
"No...no..."
Helan Xuenuo calculated the time. How could the battle in the northwest end so quickly?
She asked curiously, "Why did you come back so soon and follow me here?"
When Yuan Xu received the letter from Xiao Yuanzhao, he was very upset to learn that they had been assassinated and regretted not having someone to protect them.
The original intention was to drag out this battle.
In desperation, he used all the artillery shells made by his grandfather, causing chaos in the enemy camp at night and burning the enemy's granary.
Force the war to end early.
Returning like an arrow.
It was already late when he came back. He first went to the front of Helan Mansion to take a look, wanting to disturb them under the pretext of taking little Yuanzhao away.
But he caught a glimpse of a figure that looked like Helan Xuenuo leaving. He was sure it was Helan Xuenuo, as he was very familiar with Helan Xuenuo's movements and figure.
I followed her to the vicinity of Liancheng.
He found Helan Xuenuo cat near the jungle. He knew that Helan Xuenuo must have something to do, so he watched from a distance.
As a result, when he saw a foreign woman walking out to urinate, he turned his head away embarrassedly. When he heard the foreign woman scream, his heart beat faster and he turned his head quickly.
Then the hostage situation happened.
When Gu Shicheng took out the arrow, he could no longer bear it and rushed forward to save her.
As she jumped down, his heart rose to his throat.
Fortunately, Gu Shicheng and the others left quickly, otherwise he would have almost rushed into the river.
After Gu Shicheng turned and left, he jumped into the river to rescue her.
Helan Xuenuo didn't know how to swim before, but who knew... she could swim so well. It took him a lot of effort to play the escape game with her in the water.
Yuan Xu looked at Helan Xuenuo, his heart overflowing with words, he didn't know where to begin. "I rushed back after the war ended, and I happened to see you here, so I followed you. Last time you fell into the ice hole, you couldn't swim, so how come you can swim now?"
