"Ah ~ Achoo!" "Shi Jinchen frowned in disgust. What lousy weather is this? Weren't the sky clear just now? Why did it suddenly start raining? " Xiao Sui stroked the wet clothes on his body and could not help but shiver.

As a prince, seeing the sky darken, he naturally went into the carriage to rest early. It's a pity we have our Xiao Sui, and we still have to obediently guard the outside just like the other servants.

"How dare that! My Xiao Sui has taken care of this arrogant man with all my heart and soul! Even if he doesn't have any merits, he should at least have some hardships, right? Now that there's a thunderstorm outside, it's time for him to enjoy himself. "

The more he thought about it, the more wronged he felt. He ruthlessly grabbed onto the pitiful grass and flowers in his hands. Arrogant, paranoid, stupid. "

"What are you muttering about?" Although Shi Jinchen was blind, his hearing was very sharp. He muttered to himself non-stop throughout the entire journey, so it was likely that he did not have any good words to say.

"Eh. Your Highness is overthinking things, the Xiao Sui is just blaming the wet weather. " As he said this, he secretly curled his lips, "Heh, a man."

Hearing the dissatisfaction in Xiao Sui's words, the curtains of the carriage were suddenly lifted from the inside, and following that, the low and deep voice of the Shi Jinchen sounded out, "What, do you want this king to personally invite you up?" The Xiao Sui was overjoyed, but in his heart, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

"I do not dare to trouble Your Highness. Your Highness's status is noble, and his Xiao Sui is just a crude maid. "Ai ai ai, it hurts." The Shi Jinchen was getting more and more sour, so he simply grabbed her wrist and forcefully pulled her into the carriage.

On the carriage, Xiao Sui was looking at the Shi Jinchen that was not far away with teary eyes, as if it had nothing to do with him. Forget it, my Xiao Sui is huge, I won't bother with this arrogant master of mine. I will find a place to sit and rest for a while.

"This King only asked you to get on the car, he never said to sit on it." Shi Jinchen naturally noticed the movement of the Xiao Sui, and said leisurely.

Xiao Sui clenched his teeth, rubbed his aching wrist, and left the comfortable seat. Hmph, if you don't want me to sit, I can squat, right? Forcefully suppressing the pain in my heart, Xiao Sui found a corner that was furthest from the Shi Jinchen and slowly squatted. For a time, the carriage was unexpectedly quiet, and only the occasional sound of Xiao Sui moaning could be heard.

Shi Jinchen naturally knew that just now, his hand strength of various weights had injured Xiao Sui 'wrist, but now, he …

He did not have time to care about these trivial matters. Thinking of his imminent arrival in the capital, his hands reached out to his chest involuntarily. The layer after layer of clothing was a gift from the most important person after his mother.

In such a quiet atmosphere, the Xiao Sui glanced over at the Shi Jinchen in boredom. To his astonishment, he saw the corners of the Shi Jinchen's lips slightly raised, which had been filled with ridicule all year round, and a kind of gentleness was actually revealed in those heartless eyes.

"What the hell, does he not know what he looks like when he first opened his Fourth Prince? Does he not know that his expression makes people feel cold?" Xiao Sui shook off goosebumps that did not exist, "I wonder which young lady has such bad luck to be targeted by this arrogant prince." As she muttered in her heart, she once again thought of that scented bag that was so precious to her Shi Jinchen, and disdainfully curled her lips.

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and the temperature of the surrounding gradually dropped. The bumpiness of the carriage and the trampling of the horses in the pond gradually loosened everyone's vigilance.

Xiao Sui was drowsily squatting in a corner when he was suddenly awakened by a sharp pain in his arm. "Aiya, it hurts, it hurts, why are you acting like this again?"

Shi Jinchen ignored Xiao Sui's complaints, only raising his forefinger, indicating that she should not speak. Don't you think it's too quiet around here? "

Xiao Sui looked at Shi Jinchen speechlessly. She was now suspecting that there was something amiss with this Fourth Prince. In this kind of heavy rain, who would come looking for trouble with their group that didn't seem like normal people?

"If something abnormal happens, then there must be a demon. You better be on your guard." On the surface, his expression did not change, but he secretly held onto the long whip at his waist.

Having been reminded by Shi Jinchen like this, the remaining sleepiness was completely scared out of his mind, and he immediately focused his mind, paying attention to his surroundings at all times.

"Mountain, the bandit, it's the bandit!" "There is restlessness ahead." How could there be bandits? Everyone be on your guard! "

"What's going on?" Shi Jinchen climbed out of the carriage with a displeased look, his hand tightly holding onto the flexible long whip.

"I've scared Fourth Brother. It's just a bunch of blind bandits. After we take care of them, they can continue on their way." Shi Jinhan's expression was still gentle, with traces of concern in his eyes.

But Xiao Sui were secretly on alert, as they didn't know what the fox crown prince was thinking about at this time.

"Be careful, fourth brother!" Shi Jinchen could not be seen, but his hearing was very sharp. Sensing the sword energy behind him, he subconsciously dodged to the side with his Xiao Sui.

He should have been able to avoid the Sword Qi without any danger, but that Crown Prince seemed to be extremely protective of his younger brother, actually rushing towards him, pressing him towards the Sword Qi behind him.

No matter what, he couldn't break free from the Shi Jinchen, and it was so cold that he could feel it slowly approaching him from the back. He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. No matter how foolish the Xiao Sui was, they would still understand that this was a life and death moment.

With this resistance, the power of his Shi Jinhan gradually weakened, and he couldn't help but curse at his Xiao Sui for meddling in other people's business. Shi Jinchen took this opportunity to turn around, barely dodging the cold light.

After he safely landed on the ground, Shi Jinchen restrained the raging waves in his heart. Recalling that Xiao Sui was still entangled with that Crown Prince, he immediately rushed back without caring about anything at all;

However, he could not see and it was raining heavily around him. Mixed in with the sounds of the guards and the bandits fighting, he could not even tell where the Xiao Sui was located.

"A whip strike broke the arm of the bandit who was about to approach the bandit, and a guard beside him cried out in alarm." Your Highness, it's best for you to leave quickly. The First Prince has his own destiny and he has General Zhai to protect him at all times. Nothing will happen to him. "

Shi Jinchen seemed to have not heard, allowing the torrential rain to dampen his long muddy brocade clothes and drenched his black hair that had scattered in all directions due to the battle. He was not worried about the crown prince's life or death. All he could think about was how to escape from the grasp of his Xiao Sui and how to make his Shi Jinhan become lighter. Only, halfway up the mountain, no matter how hard he tried to determine the situation, he could no longer feel the aura of the Xiao Sui. That stupid woman!

"Your Highness, the bandits have been completely cleaned up, but the place we just passed has already been covered with rocks. With this kind of bad weather, I'm afraid that something unexpected will happen if we stop halfway up the mountain!"

No matter how hard he tried, his Shi Jinchen could not detect any of his aura and for a moment, he felt his entire body turning cold, even his heart seemed to have frozen. After a moment, he numbly put away the soft whip. At this moment, his tone was incomparably calm, but his throat was incomparably dry. "Inform the convoy, continue moving forward."
