Chapter 590 A plan within a plan (1)
Looking at Xiao Ruiyuan, who was walking quickly with a stern expression, several guards looked at each other in confusion.
Xiao Ruiyuan ignored them and walked straight through the grass pile in front of him. Sure enough, there was nothing there, not even a ghost.
When the guards who came over saw this, their expressions changed drastically. Drops of cold sweat instantly fell from their foreheads. There was only one thought in their chaotic minds: It's over!
Xiao Ruiyuan looked at the surroundings with a gloomy face and carefully looked at the signs around him, but found nothing unusual. He was almost certain that the Thirteenth Prince had not encountered any accident, but had quietly walked away on his own.
Hey, where is the Thirteenth Brother? Why dont you see the Thirteenth Brother?
Several princes had eaten and drank for a long time but did not see Xiao Ruiyuan come back. They couldn't sit still and ran over to take a look. However, they never expected that everyone was there, but the thirteenth emperor brother (brother) was missing alone. ).
A hint of darkness flashed in Xiao Ruiyuan's eyes. He had no time to comfort the panicked princes. He coldly ordered the thirty pale-faced guards: "Separate ten people and **** the princes back to the palace immediately to remove the missing thirteen princes." Report this matter to the Emperor, and the remaining people will follow this general to find the Thirteenth Prince now!"
"Yes! I obey my orders!" Thirty guards responded in unison, displaying the high quality expected of an imperial guard, and the division of labor was quickly completed.
The few young princes knew that this was not the time to be willful, so they obediently followed the ten guards and walked down the mountain.
The sixteenth prince walked a few steps and then paused. He turned around and looked at Xiao Ruiyuan with a hint of guilt on his face. He opened his mouth to say something, but found that at this time, nothing was superfluous.
Xiao Ruiyuan didn't realize what the sixteenth prince was thinking. Based on the traces left by the thirteenth prince, he quickly chased after him with the remaining twenty guards.
It would be fine if the Thirteenth Prince stayed on the outskirts of Phoenix Mountain. Once he entered the deep mountains, not to mention whether he would encounter wild beasts and become their meal. The deep mountains were already full of dangers. If he were not careful, he would fall off the cliff and be shattered into pieces. The third prince was lucky and cautious, and did not encounter those two situations. It was easy to get lost in the deep forest with complicated terrain, and it was almost impossible to get out on his own.
The two missing moments are enough for a ten-year-old child to travel a long distance. Xiao Ruiyuan led his guards in pursuit while paying attention to the traces left by the Thirteenth Prince. Naturally, his speed could not be faster. Even so, after half an hour of tracking, the Thirteenth Prince was only three miles away from the outskirts of the Beast Forest.
Xiao Ruiyuan frowned as he looked at the increasingly familiar scenery around him. Not far ahead is the Beast Forest, where most of the beasts in Phoenix Mountain that were driven in by the guards are imprisoned. The dangers therein can be imagined.
Knowing that there is something fishy about this matter, maybe if he takes another step, he will step into a trap carefully set by others, but he can only continue to move forward and find the person as soon as possible.
The group continued to follow, and sure enough, it didn't take long to reach the beast forest, and the traces of the Thirteenth Prince also disappeared.
Just when Xiao Ruiyuan was about to enter the mountain to continue looking for people, King Qi, who had always been at odds with him, came out of the forest with a group of people.
Behind King Qi were not only several princes and princes who were younger than him, but also more than a dozen important princes from aristocratic families. Even the thirteenth prince who had been missing was also inside. At this time, he lowered his head and did not dare to go. Look at Xiao Ruiyuan's face, which looks like frost.
"Hey, aren't you taking our brothers to hunt General Xiao?" Seeing Xiao Ruiyuan, Qi raised his chin, with a flash of contempt in his eyes: "General Xiao ran away from my thirteenth emperor brother in anger, if it weren't for I happened to be nearby and stopped the Thirteenth Emperor's brother from entering this wild beast forest in time. I'm afraid the Thirteenth Emperor's brother is already in danger, so what crime should General Xiao deserve, huh?"
