snake king beside

Chapter 231
"After that incident happened, His Highness took care of Ms. Yuanxi with his own hands. No matter how unwilling they were, they dared not go against His Highness's will. If they didn't go, they had to go. Besides, His Highness asked them to practice martial arts. How wonderful An errand..." Little Green said with a look of longing.

"Then you want to go too, don't you?" Chu Lixiang looked at her expression and asked her playfully.

"Hmm..." Xiaolu replied involuntarily, stroking her braids, and immediately regained her composure: "No, no, no...that's not what I mean, I'd rather follow you, miss, it's good but there's no Snake Palace there. Okay, hehe... I'm just envious that they can practice martial arts..." She looked at Chu Lixiang with an embarrassed smile.

"Understood! When your highness comes back later, I will tell him, can you find someone to teach you how to practice?" Chu Lixiang reached out and stroked Xiaolu's braid in front, and asked with a smile who had always wanted to practice. little green.

"Really?!" Xiaolu regained her spirits when she heard this, she stared at Chu Lixiang with big eyes and asked, seeing Chu Lixiang nod her head proudly, she was so happy that she almost jumped up, "Thank you, miss , Thank you, miss! You must keep your word! Hahaha..." Xiaolu smiled happily, pulling Chu Lixiang's arm and emphasizing again.

Chu Lixiang looked at Xiaolu's happy look, and he was also very happy. The two walked towards the wing room arm in arm. Yuan Min passed by and saw the two of them talking and laughing. He was so envious. There is no such a good friend in the palace who can chat and talk about his thoughts, but he can't let go of his self-esteem, and he doesn't want to go to Chu Lixiang first, so he pouted and flicked the grass in his hand to the gazebo behind the rockery.

In the next few days, in order to make herself not only think about Jun Feimo, Chu Lixiang and Xiaolu went to the other courtyard of the Queen of Snakes to clean up, enjoy flowers and weeds, every morning. Grandmother Qi said good morning to her in the living room, and sometimes she cooked delicious food for them, and everyone spent a few days happily amidst the busy schedule.

Every day, Yuan Min watched Chu Lixiang and Xiaolu inseparable, but he was alone floating around, wanting to chat with Chu, but Chu only cared about the safety of the Snake Palace, so he couldn't see anyone every day Granny Qi is urging her to practice hard every day, learn to grow up slowly and other words, and she is busy with the big and small affairs in the Snake Palace recently, so she doesn't have much time to stare at her. Soon Yuan Min felt even more lonely.

"Miss, why do you insist on watering these mandolans on such a hot day? What if you faint from the heat?" Xiaolu followed Chu Lixiang to the other courtyard behind the snake. Lu looked at Chu Lixiang worriedly while walking and said.

Chu Lixiang was wearing a floral gauze dress with a gauze belt around her waist. The bun she wore today was very clean and neat. There were a few braided braids on the top of her head, and all the loose hair in the back was tied up. When she got up, she rolled up her sleeves as she walked, as if she was going to have a big fight. She turned her head to look at Xiaolu and said, "Xiaolu, do you want me to stay in the room and be unhappy every day? I hope I worry about your highness all day long." ? Do you want me to lock myself in the room alone without eating or drinking?" Chu Lixiang asked Xiaolu one sentence at a time.

Listening to what she said, Xiaolu shook her head vigorously, "I don't want it, I don't want it...Miss, please stop talking, Xiaolu will follow you whatever you want, haha..." Xiaolu thought so, instead of Seeing that she is bored in the house every day, it is better to come out and do something. Besides, Jun Feimo told herself repeatedly before leaving that she can do whatever she likes, and just follow along, so she looked at Chu Lixiang with a silly smile.

"Let's go." Chu Lixiang looked at Xiaolu and smiled, and the two continued to walk forward, "Xiaolu, where is the water here? Let's go get two buckets of water." Chu Lixiang came to the other courtyard Looking around to find water sources and buckets, while searching, he asked Xiaolu beside him.

"Miss, how can I let you go to fetch water? I'll just go and talk to the snake soldiers at the gate. They are strong enough to help us hit the bucket," Xiaolu said, walking towards the gatekeeper, just a few steps away He was pulled back by Chu Lixiang.

"Xiaolu, why bother them? It's just a few buckets of water, we can do it..." From Chu Lixiang's point of view, the people in the Snake Palace are all the same people, and besides, she hopes that everything is the same. Do it yourself, don't want to trouble others.

"Oh, miss, how can it work? It's what men do to fetch water. Besides, they are young and strong, and labor is only good for them." Xiaolu persuaded Chu Lixiang, saying After turning around and walking towards the door, Chu Lixiang had no choice but to smile helplessly and shook his head and let her go.

After a while, the snake soldiers brought water and put it around the garden so that they could change places to water. Chu Lixiang smiled at them, "Thank you! You can go to work, just leave it to us, thank you !” She said as she picked up the water ladle and scooped water into the garden full of mandolins.

"Miss, do we have to water this large garden?" Xiaolu turned her head to look at such a large garden, stared at Chu Lixiang with wide eyes and asked, Chu Lixiang smiled and nodded to her while watering, "Then...then when do we have to water it?" Xiaolu looked at the sea of ​​flowers in surprise, feeling very disappointed.

"Silly girl, how can we finish watering? We count as much as we water. If we can't finish watering, we'll come back tomorrow, haha..." Chu Lixiang was pouring water while talking, but he didn't expect that he would be doing such a gentle thing now Wen’s lady thing, in the past, apart from painting, I just stayed at home and watched TV. I never touched flowers or grass, so I raised a small parrot, which was given by Bai Xiaonan. Thinking of this, Chu Lixiang stopped. After finishing the work in hand, "I don't know how they are doing now..." I couldn't help but muttered to myself in a daze.

"Miss, miss..." Xiaolu looked at Chu Lixiang who was standing there in a daze, and called her curiously, "What's wrong with you? Did you miss His Highness?..." Xiaolu saw her expression, Thinking that she was worrying about Jun Feimo again, she whispered beside her.

Chu Lixiang came back to his senses, and smiled at Xiaolu, "I was thinking about some things in the world, and I thought of my good friend," she said, scooping up another ladle of water and sprinkled it, thinking of Xiaolu's problem , She went on to say: "Little Green, didn't your Highness say that it will take two or three days? Why is there no news after so many days? Let's go ask Granny Qi if she has any news at night?" Busy with work, he frowned slightly and looked at Xiaolu and said.

Xiaolu also sprinkled water for another small garden, looked at Chu Lixiang and nodded: "Okay, but didn't Granny Qi say yesterday that your Highness and the others may not have seen the God of the Three Realms, and they are waiting there, you If you really want to know, let’s go to Grandma Qi’s to inquire at night..." As she said that, Xiaolu threw it vigorously, accidentally tripped over a flower vine, and staggered forward, only to hear "ah..." With a sound, Xiaolu disappeared into the blossoming mandolin bushes...

"Xiaolu..." Chu Lixiang hurriedly put down what she was doing, and ran over to see how she was doing, "Are you okay? Are you okay?" Chu Lixiang asked her with concern while helping Xiaolu, "Look You, being so careless, are you injured?" She helped Xiaolu up while checking whether she was injured.

"Oh, miss, my butt hurts like hell! If I hadn't reacted quickly and turned around, my pretty little face would have been pierced by these flowers and grass... It hurts like hell..." Xiao Lu Bian got up and touched his buttocks and complained, frowning while looking at the flower bush that made him fall, if it wasn't in the other courtyard behind the snake, he would have been so angry that he would have smoothed it out.

"Okay, okay, come here, come here and take a rest." Chu Lixiang quickly helped Xiaolu walk to the side slowly, and helped her check her body, "You too, just water a flower, what are you doing?" Why is it so hard? Did you throw yourself? Hey..." She said while looking at her with frowns while helping her to check.

"Oh, miss, it's not that I was careless. I was standing very steady just now. When I sprinkled water, my feet seemed to sink suddenly and I fell down. I am also a person who knows some martial arts. How could I be thrown so easily? What about falling?" Xiaolu was not reconciled, watering a flower can also be thrown, which is really unreasonable, she pouted her mouth angrily and turned her head to look at the place where she was thrown.

Chu Lixiang was a little puzzled hearing her say this, "The flowers are planted here, and I only thought of watering them when I saw that the soil was dry. How could there be a sunken place?" The more she thought about it, the more strange she became.

"Miss, I still can't lie to you. If you don't believe me, go and see if there is a pit there, ouch..." Xiaolu said while covering her buttocks with her hands. The last flower is crushed, hey, if His Highness is here, I will be scolded..." Turning to look at the small piece of flowers that was overwhelmed by him, he lowered his head worriedly and said.

Chu Lixiang glanced at Xiaolu and comforted him: "It's okay, we just need to help them up. If they weren't broken, it wouldn't be obvious. Besides, you didn't do it on purpose." While talking to Xiaolu, Chu Lixiang Xiang was still thinking about what happened just now. She looked at the place where Xiaolu fell and walked slowly.

Xiaolu watched Chu Lixiang walk away, and said "Ouch" on the spot, comforting her fallen buttocks, waiting for the results of Chu Lixiang's inspection, there must be a pit there, and she fell so embarrassingly.

Chu Lixiang stretched out his hand to push away the overwhelmed flower, gently lifted it up, and then looked at the place where Xiaolu said there was a hole. Indeed, the soil in that place was very loose, and the soil was not like that under the other flowers It looks like it was refurbished recently. After thinking about it, she put her whole palm on that piece of soil and pressed down lightly. She felt that there was some hollowness underneath. She had an idea: the bottom should be empty, and she looked at the flowers on the top, and they didn't bloom as well as the others, which confirmed her guess even more.

"Miss, what's the matter? Why do you have such a serious expression? What did you find?" Xiaolu looked at Chu Lixiang squatting there motionless, wondering what she was busy with, and felt as if something happened, and touched her He approached her with a bouncing ass and asked.

"Xiaolu, look, is the soil here different from other places?" Chu Lixiang turned to look at the curious Xiaolu and asked, Xiaolu looked in the direction she pointed, "Are you still Do you remember what Uncle Bai and the others said a few days ago? Look here..." Chu Lixiang asked Xiaolu to touch the place he pressed just now.

"Miss... this..." Xiaolu also noticed that something was wrong, but she couldn't say anything, and looked at Chu Lixiang anxiously. Chu Lixiang looked at Xiaolu, knowing that she also saw something, so he told her She nodded, "Then what should I do now?" Xiaolu knew that this matter was not easy, and the two of them alone would definitely not work, she looked at Chu Lixiang and asked.

"Xiaolu, you go and ask the snake soldiers guarding the gate to call Granny Qi, and it's best to bring Chu, too. This matter must be related to the exit we are looking for," Chu Lixiang looked at Xiaolu seriously, Thinking that this matter is no small matter, it is possible to find the person hiding in the Snake Palace, so without delay, he quickly ordered Xiaolu, "Xiaolu, go quickly, I will wait for you here." Chu Li said Xiang quickly picked up the fallen flowers around to make the area bigger.

Xiaolu nodded, and hurried to the door. She also forgot that her butt was hurting. After she ran to the snake soldier and gave orders, she hurried back and helped Chu Lixiang clean up the bad place. Grandma Qi and the others came to check.

"Grandma Qi, Miss Yuan Min," Chu quickly walked to the gate of the other courtyard, just in time to meet Granny Qi and Yuan Min who were rushing here, and stepped forward to salute.

"Well, Chu, you're here too." Granny Qi nodded in response, then looked at Chu and asked, Chu nodded and said, "Yes, Miss Li Xiang sent someone to look for me, and I just came back today." Chu said to Granny Qi.

"Then let's go in quickly and see what's going on." Grandma Qi nodded to him, then stretched her hand forward, signaling Chu to enter the other courtyard. Chu nodded, walked in behind Grandma Qi, and then He glanced sideways at Yuan Min, wondering if she was still angry with him for what happened last time.

"Brother Chu, where have you been these few days? Didn't Brother Feimo tell you to take good care of the Snake Palace? Why can't I see you these days?" What Chu didn't expect was Yuan Min Talking to myself first, and walking side by side so close to me, I was pleasantly surprised.

"Um... I have been patrolling the periphery for the past few days. I have arranged people to guard every corner of our Snake Palace, so as to better ensure the safety of the Snake Palace..." Chu felt very relaxed, unexpectedly Yuan Min stopped being angry with him, which really made him happy, and he spoke more smoothly.

"Oh, you're still thoughtful. I don't know what that human lady found out. She called us here with such great fanfare. Let's see what tricks she has!" Yuan Min looked at Chu Lixiang and Xiaolu who were busy in front of her while walking. Talking, talking disapprovingly.

Chu wanted to say something at first, but thinking that Yuan Min would be angry, he didn't dare to speak for Chu Lixiang anymore. He just smiled at her and walked in front of Chu Lixiang and Xiaolu.

"Lixiang, Xiaolu, what did you find? We are so eager to come here." Granny Qi stepped forward and asked the two of them, looking for something curiously.

Chu Lixiang first bowed to Grandma Qi, and then took Grandma Qi to the place where he found something wrong, "Grandma Qi, look here, I just watered here with Xiaolu and found this..." Chu Lixiang Li Xiang brought Granny Qi to that place, explained it to her, and pointed to the place for her while talking.

Grandma Qi looked at the place Chu Lixiang was pointing at, and then slowly squatted down, "This soil..." Granny Qi also found something wrong when she touched it. He Yuanmin also went over to see what happened, "This soil is a little different from the soil under other flowers, and it looks like it was turned over not long ago." Grandma Qi said what Chu Lixiang thought, and Chu Lixiang Xiang listened and nodded repeatedly.

Chu squatted down to check carefully, and he also found out, "Grandma Qi, the bottom here should be empty, so there should be a secret passage or cave under here." Chu looked at Grandma Qi and said, and said again He looked at Chu Lixiang who was on the side.

"Then how did this hole come about? Why would someone dig a hole here? And we have never found that it has been dug here?" Yuan Min asked a little incomprehensibly, stood up and said while wrapping his arms around the He frowned again on his chest.

Listening to Yuan Min's question, Grandma Qi, Chu Lixiang and Xiang Chu looked at each other, then the three of them stood up slowly, patted the soil on their palms and walked out of the flowers, "Grandma Qi, you don't know, That pit just now made me fall so badly! My butt still hurts!" Xiaolu looked at Granny Qi and complained, and even touched her slightly sore butt as she spoke.

"Hehe, it's a good thing you fell, otherwise you wouldn't be able to find the hole. It was worth the fall! I'll give you a credit when His Highness comes back!" Grandma Qi joked with Xiaolu and said with a smile.

"Thank you Grandma Qi! Don't forget! Hehe..." Xiaolu jumped up happily, and her butt didn't hurt anymore after hearing this.Grandma Qi and Chu Lixiang shook their heads helplessly.

Grandma Qi looked at Yuan Min who was confused just now and said, "Xiao Min, didn't you find out? This hole was not dug out from our Snake Palace, but dug in from the outside, so no one noticed that someone dug it here. Go through the hole." Grandma Qi explained to her, and it was also training her to learn how to observe things.

Yuan Min listened seriously and nodded, "Then this hole is the one who came to hurt Xiao Ling and Hong'er last time?" She remembered this, so she asked Grandma Qi again.

Grandma Qi nodded without saying a word, then looked at Chu and Chu Lixiang: "What do you think?" Then she glanced at the place just now.

Chu Lixiang and Chu looked at each other, Chu Lixiang nodded to him, motioning for him to speak first, Chu looked at Grandma Qi and Yuan Min and said, "From what we saw just now, it's not difficult for us to see that what's going on under the hood It must be empty. As for whether this place is related to the people hiding in the Snake Palace, I can't say for sure, but it should be nine out of ten.
