After quickly wearing the second male lead who was rejected

Chapter 259: No Time to Explain (11)

"Yes, it's me. Can you kill me? I warned you again and again to leave Tiandu City, but you just didn't listen!" Ling Xiaosu tore his face open with his hands, revealing his true appearance.

Gu Chang was very confused, "Why should I listen to you?"

But Ling Xiaosu kept silent. He picked up the light bow from his waist and held the bow and arrow in his other hand.

The bow and arrow were aimed at Gu Chang.

He moved quickly, pulling the bow, and the arrow flew out.

Gu Chang had no time to dodge, but Tu Mingyuan pushed him, causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground. The arrow barely grazed his right arm before lodging in the trunk of the tree behind him.

Seeing that he missed, Ling Xiaosu immediately retreated and, taking advantage of the complex terrain, quickly disappeared from the sight of the two men.

"Are you okay?" Tu Mingyuan walked over and reached out to pull Gu Chang up.

After Gu Chang stood up with the help of Tu Mingyuan, he touched the wound on his right arm with his left hand. There had been a cut there by the sharp arrow. The wound was not bleeding. Gu Chang took a closer look and found that the inside of the wound was pitch black, without any flesh or blood.

"There is no smell of blood. Fortunately, I pushed you away in advance." Tu Mingyuan has a very sensitive sense of smell. After he did not smell any blood on Gu Chang, he said lightly.

Gu Chang nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes." As he said that, he took out white gauze from the medicine bag and bandaged the wound on his right arm.

"Gui Yan, is it going to rain?" Tu Mingyuan looked up. He could feel the dampness in the air and the sound of leaves being blown by the wind was in his ears.

"Yes, it's going to rain. The weather changes so quickly. Your Highness, we should go back first." Gu Chang considered that it was about to rain and Tu Mingyuan had an eye problem, so he would be in danger in bad weather. The best solution was for him to send Tu Mingyuan back to where he came from and then go to the woods to look for Ling Xiaosu.

I don’t know whether Mingtang and the others have sneaked into the Qiongshan hunting ground.

Gu Chang took Tu Mingyuan's wrist and said softly, "Your Highness, I will take you back."

Tu Mingyuan followed Gu Chang's strength and took a step forward. He pursed his pale pink lips and asked Gu Chang, "Gui Yan, can you tell me why that man named Ling Xiaosu wanted to kill you?"

Gu Chang hesitated for a moment. The fewer people who knew about the hollow valley puppet, the better. If he told Tu Mingyuan about the hollow valley puppet, who knows what would happen in the future. So Gu Chang decided to keep it a secret from Tu Mingyuan.

"Your Highness, Ling Xiaosu is born cunning and evil, not a good person. He is a disciple of Master Ling Yiyan of Yuyao Palace. Because Ling Xiaosu is dissatisfied with Master Ling Yiyan's discipline, he has been causing chaos everywhere and killing others. Master Ling asked me to capture Ling Xiaosu, so Ling Xiaosu wants to kill me."

Hearing this, Tu Mingyuan smiled faintly, the wind ruffled his hair, and his fair face seemed even whiter in the dim environment.

"Gui Yan, Ling Xiaosu was originally the deceased prince's study companion. He followed the former prince since childhood, and after the former prince's death, he became Ling Yiyan's disciple. I had a brief encounter with him when I was young, but I didn't expect that when I met him again, he could disguise himself as someone else. Judging from his voice, he didn't seem to have aged at all."

Gu Chang: It won’t always be normal, because Ling Xiaosu’s body is a puppet.

"Your Highness, please be careful with the branches." Gu Chang reminded him and at the same time stretched out his hand to push away the branches in front of Tu Mingyuan.

"Thank you, Guiyan."

Soon, the two returned to the open space where they had started.

Many people have returned here.

Gu Chang didn't see Nie Qingxue and the others, but he saw Tu Minyin and Tu Minlan talking to Eunuch Chen.

"They are saying that the prince and Miss Nie, as well as Weizhi and Miss Nie Er, have not returned." Tu Mingyuan spoke at this time.

Gu Chang turned his head to look at him, wondering why Tu Mingyuan knew what he was looking at.

As if sensing Gu Chang's confusion, Tu Mingyuan began to explain, "The Crown Prince is of noble status. If he hasn't returned, it will naturally attract attention. Although I have an eye problem, my other senses are sharp, so it's not difficult for me to hear what they are saying."

Gu Chang looked around and saw that people around him were talking. Tu Mingyuan could hear Tu Minyin's voice so accurately. It must be said that he was really amazing.

"I see." Gu Chang followed up his words and praised him.

"Huh? My jade pendant is missing." Gu Chang looked down at the belt around his waist. He said this on purpose. He had to find a reason to leave here.

System: "Host, your excuse is terrible."

"Then make one up?" Gu Chang said unhappily. Tu Mingyuan was a shrewd man, and Gu Chang couldn't think of any good reason to leave temporarily. By saying this, he at least had a chance to leave.

"This jade pendant is very important to me. It was a birthday gift from my parents. Your Highness, I have to go back and look for it." Gu Chang said as he turned to leave.

Tu Mingyuan suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist, "Gui Yan, the situation is very dangerous now. You can wait until the weather clears before looking for him. And didn't you say that Ling Xiaosu still wanted to kill you?"

Gu Chang blinked, then gently comforted Tu Mingyuan, "Your Highness, this jade pendant is very important to me. I must find it. If the rain covers its traces, it will be gone. Your Highness, please stay here for now. I will be back soon."

"No!" It was unknown what Gu Chang said that touched Tu Mingyuan. His face suddenly turned pale, his jaw tensed, and he increased the strength of his grip on Gu Chang's hand.

Gu Chang was a little curious about Tu Mingyuan's strange reaction, but he had to get to the woods as soon as possible. Since Ling Xiaosu dared to appear in front of him, he was deliberately telling Gu Chang that he, Ling Xiaosu, was here to see if he dared to come.

Of course Gu Chang dared to come, and now it happened to be a thunderstorm, so he naturally would not miss the opportunity.

If you miss it, you don’t know when the next opportunity will come.

"Your Highness, please stay here first. I will be back." Gu Chang said in a deep voice, and used his hands to pry open Tu Mingyuan's fingers that were holding his wrist.

Tu Mingyuan's lips trembled slightly. He loosened his hand and whispered as Gu Chang turned to leave, "But you weren't wearing the jade pendant before you went in..."

Gu Chang heard it, but he had more important things to do right now. So he didn't have time to explain to Tu Mingyuan.

Gu Chang didn't stop. He walked faster and faster, and took advantage of the crowded and chaotic situation to run into the woods.

Tu Mingyuan stood where he was. He slowly lowered his hand, a bitter smile forming at the corner of his lips.

About a quarter of an hour after Gu Chang entered the woods, he heard Ling Xiaosu's voice: "You are here after all, Gu Guiyan."

Gu Chang looked around and asked the system to check the surroundings to see where Ling Xiaosu was hiding.

After the system marked the specific location, Gu Chang took off the light bow from his waist and aimed the bow and arrow directly at Ling Xiaosu's position.

Ling Xiaosu is a talkative villain, and Gu Chang had told Ling Xiaosu this a long time ago.

But the other party probably thought that Gu Chang could not kill him, so he became more aggressive.

Thick dark clouds gathered in the sky, pressing down heavily.

The cold wind blew on Gu Chang's back, ruffling his hair.

Ling Xiaosu walked out from behind a big tree with the arrow shot by Gu Chang in his hand.

He smiled evilly and said, "If you want to kill me, follow me."

Of course Gu Chang would follow such an obvious trap.

All is fair in war. Gu Chang thought that since he still had the system, he could sense any danger in advance.

When Ling Xiaosu saw that Gu Chang really came over, he raised his eyebrows in surprise, then quickly distanced himself from Gu Chang and went deeper.
