Shen Haoxuan and Shang Zhiqing sat near them, and told Xie Qingrong all of her sweet words to Xie Qingrong without missing a trace.
He was showing a bit of sweetness!
He unconsciously shook his arms, trying to shake off the goosebumps on his arms. How could he not know that his own prince would say such sweet words?!
Seeing Xie Qingrong's gentle and smiling face, Shen Haoxuan couldn't help but want to roll his eyes, "My prince, why don't you take a look at our situation? You're still in the mood to flirt with my wife."
Shang Zhiqing had originally been pulling on Shen Haoxuan's sleeve, but she slowly loosened her grip as she felt that Shen Haoxuan would first have to face the threat that came from Xuanyuan Chen in the next moment.
As expected, Xuanyuan Chen shot a cold glance at Shen Haoxuan, and leisurely said. "Looks like you've become a lot bolder lately. It could also be that the arrival of the merchant girl caused your entire body to float, so you just so happened to be lacking a small soldier that could send you food. When we leave the Misty Mountain, prepare to send off the military rations. "
"Oh. "Right." Xuanyuan Chen seemed to have thought of this just now and smiled faintly. But his eyes emanated a dense coldness: "You will bear the cost of the military rations. Presumably, as the richest and richest Young Master Shen in the world, he would be able to afford such a small sum of silver. "
Shen Haoxuan was extremely regretful in his heart, but now that he had apologized, it was already useless.
No one could change the decision that Xuanyuan Chen had made.
Unless...
Shen Haoxuan's hopeful eyes turned to look at Xie Qingrong, only to see Xie Qingrong turning her head, leaning on Xuanyuan Chen's shoulder, and did not save him!
Although he was not lacking in money, Xuanyuan Chen was still a blood sucking bug. If he were to pay for his first time in the army, Xuanyuan Chen would definitely find a reason to pay for his food whenever he needed to!
In a moment of surprise, Xuanyuan Chen found an opening.
Shen Haoxuan vexedly crossed his arms and pursed his lips, unwilling to see the two of them colluding together again.
Xie Qingrong tilted her head and leaned on Xuanyuan Chen's shoulder, smiling as she watched Shen Haoxuan's frustrated expression, but in the next moment, the smile in his eyes suddenly disappeared.
His pupils slightly dilated, as if he saw something dirty.
Shen Haoxuan noticed the change in Xie Qingrong's expression and was scared stiff by the look in her eyes.
She trembled slightly and said, "Esteemed wangfei …"
Before he finished speaking, Xie Qingrong made a silent motion towards him. Shen Haoxuan immediately shut his mouth, and watched Xie Qingrong take out a dagger from his boots.
The dagger looked simple, but Shen Haoxuan recognized it.
Xuanyuan Chen had once treated it as a gift to Xuanwu, but how was it possible for it to be injured by an imperial concubine?
With a shocked gaze, Xie Qingrong swiveled the dagger in his hand, Xie Qingrong's hand seemed to slightly shake, and the dagger flew towards him with an unstoppable speed.
He didn't even have time to move sideways to avoid the dagger. He immediately felt the dagger graze past his cheek.
A strand of her black hair was chopped off by the dagger, and slowly swayed in Shen Haoxuan's embrace.
As for the dagger, it was stabbed into the head of a snake!
It was a small black snake, with a triangular head and a pointed head. In the middle of the head, there was even a spot of captivating red.
When Shen Haoxuan saw the small black snake, his pupils shrank.
It was actually a venomous snake!
It was swimming behind him. If it weren't for the princess saving them, he would have been bitten by a poisonous snake. They were currently in Misty Mountain, so if he had bitten them, he would have died.
Tian Tian did not respond, his cries were too weak, he was afraid that he would die here!
He was regretting that the prince had cheated him earlier, but now, he felt that he had survived a disaster. He let out a long breath, cupped his fists, and thanked Xie Qingrong.
Xie Qingrong maintained the posture from when she was leaning against Xuanyuan Chen, and said indifferently: "You are someone who follows the Duke. Even if I didn't make a move, the Duke would have still intervened to save you."
Indeed, Xuanyuan Chen had also seen this black snake. Moreover, he had also tightly grasped the dagger that Xie Qingrong had given him at the Ascension City Inn.
Just as Xie Qingrong had said, Shen Haoxuan was someone who followed him, and unhesitatingly followed him into the Misty Mountain. No matter what, he had to ensure Shen Haoxuan's safety.
Xie Qingrong glanced at the completely dead little black snake, and instructed Shen Haoxuan: "Give me the dagger and the snake."
After this battle, Shen Haoxuan followed Xie Qingrong's commands obediently. He obediently handed the dagger and the little black python over to Xie Qingrong and squatted beside him.
She then watched as Xie Qingrong cut apart the small black snake with her dagger and took out the snake gall from within, putting it into a sealed bottle.
"A Rong, what are you doing?" Xuanyuan Chen asked somewhat puzzled.
"The gall bladder of a poisonous snake is a good thing, what's more, this kind of rare poisonous snake. If my guess is correct, this snake gall can be used to treat illnesses. " Xie Qingrong explained to Xuanyuan Chen as he continued to move his hands.
After dealing with the internal organs of the little snake, he put them into a small bag. Some of the treasures felt around the bag and smacked their lips.
Seeing Xie Qingrong's actions of smacking her lips, the corner of Shang Zhiqing's mouth twitched uncontrollably. She did not understand what her elder sister wanted this dead black snake for.
However, was not the only one who was suspicious, even Shen Haoxuan and Xuanyuan Chen were also very suspicious, but they kept quiet.
After Xie Qingrong finished all of this, she said somewhat excitedly: "This little snake looks soft and smooth, you guys are so lucky tonight."
The reason she cleaned up the snake was obviously for her stomach.
This snake meat was already rare and delicious, not to mention this was the meat of a snake that was raised from the primal forest. The quality of the meat must have been very delicious, and she had only eaten it once in the forest before.
Just this once was enough to remember this taste.
Shen Haoxuan rubbed his arms in fear, his heart was filled with lingering fear. Princess Hua-Yang couldn't be wanting to eat the snake meat, right? The thought of eating snake meat made him want to vomit.
Similarly, Xuanyuan Chen's face was somewhat pale.
Even though he had grown up in the army camp, the Mo Bei was a place filled with bitterness and coldness. It was extremely cold all year round and there were no snakes to be seen.
Moreover, after returning to the capital, the daily meal had been meticulously chosen, each one a delicacy.
Although he had heard of eating snake meat, he had never eaten one before. He also had not expected that one day, he would actually eat snake meat.
After organizing his bag, Xie Qingrong patted the dust off his sleeves. Just as he was about to set off, he saw that the three people in front of him had pale faces, especially Xuanyuan Chen.
What was going on?
Just a moment ago, it was still fine, but Xie Qingrong was a little confused so she asked: "What's wrong with you guys? "Her face looks a little terrible."
Xuanyuan Chen pursed his lips, opened his mouth and said: "Has A Rong ever eaten snake meat before?"
"Of course. This snake meat is a rare delicacy. " Xie Qingrong acted as if it was a matter of course. Xuanyuan Chen and the other two felt even worse when they saw this.
