The Cold Prince Dotes On His Wild Wife Chapter 57

Chapter 57 - Xiao Tianba's Techniques

Lily dragged her long skirt and three servant girls into the hunting grounds.

A few of them hid behind a big tree to observe the hunting grounds. Because Dong Xiang's arm was injured, her movements were slow. Just as sshe walked behind Lily, he accidentally stepped on a dried up branch. A crisp sound scared Lily to the point that her body tensed up.

Suddenly, a sharp arrow flew towards them. Seeing that, Lily warned the three coldly: "Be careful!"

Qiu Xiang and Ju Xiang's martial arts were considered not bad, seeing that, the two of them quickly protected Lily and retreated. Dong Xiang followed closely behind, the four of them quickly ran towards the entrance.

One of the arrows shot out, and just as it was about to hit Lily's thigh, Qiu Xiang suddenly turned and pounced towards Lily, and a sharp arrow pierced right through her back. Qiu Xiang groaned, and warned Ju Xiang, "Quickly bring the young miss away!"

Just as he finished his sentence, a deep and cold male voice called out, "Halt!"

Dong Xiang, who had been following closely behind, suddenly turned her head to look at the incoming person. A thick killing intent emitted from Xiao Tianba's eyebrows as he sat on the horse with a few black-clothed men following behind him. Just now, he noticed that there were some sounds coming from behind a tree not far away. He thought that it was another fleeing prey. He did not expect that one arrow would shoot out four women.

The hunting grounds were heavily guarded, so how did they get in? Where did you come from?

Xiao Tianba sat on the horse and looked down at the girl at his feet from above. He shouted coldly, "Turn around!"

Being protected by Qiu Xiang, when she heard the man's voice, she couldn't ignore the dignity that followed it. She slowly turned her head and looked at the man on the horse, an unerasable emperor's aura emitting from between his brows. Lily felt a little uncomfortable being looked at, and she suddenly lowered her head, not daring to look at him anymore.

Xiao Tianba never thought that he would meet such a peerless beauty in the hunting grounds. She was just like a peony among a myriad of flowers, charming and beautiful, with a pair of bright and clear eyes. There was a trace of bashfulness on his fair face. Lowering his head made people feel more pity for his.

Seeing that, Xiao Tianba jumped off the horse's back, and slowly walked to Lily's side. Dong Xiang and Ju Xiang protected Lily tightly, afraid that she would be killed by the man who walked over.

Seeing that the four ladies were on guard against him, Xiao Tianba waved his hand to the black clothed men behind him, signalling them to withdraw, the few of them looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and then quickly disappeared.

"Lift your head and let us have a look!"

Xiao Tianba opened his mouth once again, and his voice carried a tone that could not be refused.

Lily suddenly raised her head, and looked at the old man in front of him. Could he be the Tong Li Kingdom Emperor, Xiao Tianba?

That's right, this was the hunting grounds of the Tong Li Kingdom, it was normal for the Emperor to hunt there. Thinking about that, Lily immediately turned and kneeled in front of Xiao Tianba:

"This humble girl pays her respects to Emperor."

When the three maidservants saw this, they were shocked and knelt down to pay their respects. Xiao Tianba's face that was previously filled with killing intent suddenly turned gentle. He quickly walked in front of Lily, extended his hand out to support her, and said gently:

"Quickly rise. Beauty, tell me, why did you barge into the Royal Hunting Ground? "

Lily wanted to pull back his hand, but Xiao Tianba held her hand tightly and did not let go. and the other two maids were furious but did not say a thing. Seeing that, Lily bent down slightly.

"Emperor, my daughter and a few servant girls pa.s.sed by, but they were lost, and did not enter this place on purpose. If you disturb my Emperor, I hope that you can be merciful. "

Xiao Tianba laughed: It's not alarming, it's not alarming!

Lily pursed her lips into a smile, then lowered her head again, no longer daring to look at the man in front of him. At this time, the sound of horse hooves rang out. Xiao Tianba pulled Lily along with one hand and turned around to look at the person who had arrived. The smile on his face instantly became cold as he coldly said:

"Speak!"

The man quickly jumped down from the horse and knelt on the ground to report: "Back to Emperor, General Luan's foot slipped and fell off the cliff."

After Xiao Tianba heard the man's words, he quickly brought Lily up the horse and rushed towards the cliff. Only Dong Xiang, Ju Xiang and the other two maids were left behind. What was going on?

Receiving Lily's gaze, the three of them nodded, and quietly stood at their original spot waiting for their young miss.

When Xiao Tianba and the guards rushed over to the hunting grounds and cliff area, the other officials who were hunting with General Luan were so scared that their foreheads were covered in cold sweat and their faces turned pale white.

They knew that it was not an accident that General Luan fell off the cliff. Instead, it was because someone shot an arrow at him secretly, the arrow striking the horse's tail.

Everyone knelt down nervously on the ground, afraid that the Emperor would blame this on them. But what surprised them was that Xiao Tianba only said one sentence.

"Get up, all of you. General Luan accidentally fell off the cliff, I am deeply pained, all my beloved officials, no need to blame yourself, the hunt is over!"

Everyone stood up and wiped off their cold sweat. When they raised their heads and saw the woman beside Xiao Tianba, they were all startled.

Seeing that, Xiao Tianba reminded them coldly: "We have already sent the imperial guards to look for General Luan, go back."

Seeing this, everyone withdrew their eyes and left. Xiao Tianba looked at the quiet Lily in the blink of an eye and asked gently.

"Beauty, tell me, what's your name?"

"Return to Emperor, my daughter Lily."

"Hahaha, Lily? Good name! A good name, and as beautiful as yours. "

As he said that, he held Lily's hand again, as though he was bringing his own prey. His greedy eyes had a trace of gentleness in them, as he prepared to bring Lily out of the hunting grounds.

Lily looked at Xiao Tianba, and knew that she would not be able to escape now. Looking at the look in Xiao Tianba's eyes, she helplessly frowned.

"Emperor."

"Hmm? "You are unwilling to leave with me?" As he spoke, Xiao Tianba's face clearly showed some displeasure.

Lily anxiously explained: "Emperor, Lily does not dare, but Lily's three maids are still in the hunting grounds..."

When Xiao Tianba heard Lily's words, he was overjoyed. He immediately sent someone to bring Dong Xiang and the others here. On the way back to the Tong Li Kingdom, Lily and Xiao Tianba sat opposite of each other. Xiao Tianba's gaze never left her fair face, and as he looked at her, he couldn't help but sigh in admiration, how could there be such an otherworldly woman.

This time, not only had he dealt with Luan Kuo, he had also obtained a great beauty. At this moment, Xiao Tianba's heart was exceptionally carefree. Seeing that Lily kept his head lowered with shyness, Xiao Tianba pulled Lily, who was standing opposite of him, into his embrace. A hand hooked onto her lower jaw as he smiled and said:

"Lily, raise your head and look at us."

Lily obediently raised her head to look at Xiao Tianba, who was only a finger's width away from her. Seeing the densely packed beard on his face and the scars on his face left behind by the pa.s.sage of time, Lily felt disgusted and didn't dare to show it on the surface.

"Emperor …"
