Chapter 653 Bite
So, Nier no longer hesitated, quickly opened the package, grabbed a piece of dessert and started eating it.
She ate very quickly and it was obvious that she was very hungry.
In a short while, she had gobbled up all the snacks.
Nier took a few more sips of water and then rewrapped the remaining snacks.
As she packed, she muttered to herself, "The princess only has a water bottle and no food. She must be starving now. I have to speed up and find her as soon as possible."
Nier couldn't help but think of the princess's horse. Not only did the horse have a nice name, but it was also fat and strong with shiny fur. She also told her a lot of knowledge about riding.
Judging from these points, the princess is obviously very good at riding horses and should be someone who rides horses frequently.
But why did Zhuiyun, a horse that seemed so smart, suddenly go crazy?
And in such a dangerous place.
Nier's mind was filled with doubts, but she decided to put them aside for the time being.
After all, the most urgent task is to find the princess as soon as possible, and other things can be slowly investigated after the person is found.
It was getting dark and Nier had no idea what to do.
Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking air. Nier turned her head slightly and saw an arrow stuck straight into the tree next to her. If she didn't dodge in time, the arrow would have been stuck in her head.
Nier, who was already exhausted, felt as if all the strength had been drained from her body. She was suddenly frightened and her legs became as soft and weak as cotton, and she collapsed to the ground in an instant.
At the moment Nier fell to the ground, two hands stretched out like ghosts from the bushes next to her, and covered Nier's mouth tightly with lightning speed.
Nier had never expected this to happen. Her brain seemed to lose the ability to think in an instant. Her body's instinctive reaction made her open her mouth without hesitation and bite hard.
Only a dull groan was heard, and the owner of the hands was obviously hurt by Ni'er's sudden bite.
But he endured the severe pain, gritted his teeth, and squeezed out a word from between his teeth: "Don't make a sound."
When Nier heard this low and familiar voice, she couldn't help but feel doubtful.
This voice... could it be Prince Li? Why is he hiding here?
And do such a thing?
Countless questions swirled in Nier's mind, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong.
Could it be that I have accidentally been caught up in the vortex of a struggle for the throne?
When she thought of this, Nier's heart beat faster and faster, and she felt that her life might be in danger.
The princess is missing, and his life may be lost as a result. Now he is inexplicably involved in the fight for the throne. What should he do?
Nier felt extremely regretful. If she had known it would be like this, she would never have come to this place!
However, after this series of shocks and wild thoughts, Nier's emotions gradually calmed down.
She took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down, thinking about how to deal with the situation next.
Seeing that Ni'er stopped struggling, Prince Li slowly released his hand that was covering Ni'er's mouth.
Nier breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly turned her head and took a closer look, and her guess was indeed confirmed.
She lowered her voice and asked with a hint of doubt: "My Lord, why are you hiding here?"
Prince Li quickly glanced around, and after confirming that the danger had diminished considerably, he softly replied, "This is a long story, and we can't stay here for long. Let's leave first."
The two men crouched down cautiously, not daring to walk straight up, for fear that an arrow would suddenly shoot at them.
In this way, they tiptoed for a distance until they made sure the surrounding environment was safe. Prince Li stopped and looked back at the panting Ni'er.
"You... do you still want to know why I am here?" Prince Li hesitated for a moment, but still asked.
Ni'er thought to herself that the people who could do harm to the prince were either the current emperor or those ambitious people who coveted the throne.
No matter which side it was, it was definitely not something a little woman like her could afford to provoke.
Besides, the less you know about this kind of thing, the better. Otherwise, you might be silenced if you’re not careful.
So she quickly shook her head and said, "I don't want to know, Your Majesty."
Prince Li frowned slightly.
Just now, Ni'er asked him this question.
However, just a moment later, she suddenly changed her mind, which surprised Prince Li very much.
"Why don't you want to know?" Prince Li stared at Ni'er, a hint of confusion in his tone.
Nier stood up slowly, rubbing her legs which had become numb from squatting with her hands, and curled her lips.
He replied, "I'm timid and afraid of death. I know too much, and I might lose my life one day because of it. I don't want to die without knowing the reason."
Prince Li couldn't help laughing after hearing what Ni'er said.
He thought Nier's ideas were a little naive, but at the same time he thought her frankness was very cute.
"Even if you know the reason, you won't die. I promise." Prince Li said with a smile, "Well, do you still want to hear it now?"
Nier hesitated for a moment, but she was still curious about the reason in her heart.
Finally, she gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind, and whispered the words "I want to hear it".
Prince Li told the whole story in just a few words. After listening to it, Ni'er just felt a slight headache.
She couldn't help but sigh, wondering how unlucky she was to be involved in this battle for the throne.
The Fourth Prince was afraid of Prince Li's power, fearing that he would become an obstacle to his succession to the throne, so he took this opportunity to ruthlessly kill Prince Li.
Ni'er lowered her head helplessly, thinking to herself, "This is bad. Not only is the princess not found, but she also has to run away with Prince Li."
"If I act alone, I'll probably be shot by those blind arrows in this chaos and die."
"But Prince Li's close associates should be here soon. If we stay with them, our chances of survival will be greater."
"I just hope I can escape successfully this time. When I get back, I must go to the temple to get a peace amulet and wear it to protect myself from harm."
Just as Nier was daydreaming, she suddenly heard a strange noise coming from the surroundings, followed by the sound of an arrow whizzing through the air.
The sound came from far away and seemed to be approaching in their direction.
