C4 Finally Safe

"This place is thirty kilometers away from the capital and the Third Marquis has personally brought people here to retrieve the poisonous scorpions. This means that he has obtained the exact information and is certain that the poisonous scorpions will appear here. We, master and servant, have never met anyone suspicious on the way from the direction of the spirit mountain. Ten kilometers to the west, in the Valley of the Butterflies, the terrain is steep, and is hard to defend against. No one nearby will easily enter the mountain; it is definitely a very good place to hide. "

She had come from Spirit Mountain, she had not seen any suspicious people on the official road, but Chu Tian had not caught any poisonous scorpions yet, which meant that he did not run into any poisonous scorpions on his way here. This way, the poisonous scorpions most likely had already escaped to the Butterfly Valley, which was not too far away.

This kind of reasoning was reasonable, even Chu Tian couldn't deny that Yun Ke's analysis was very reasonable. The gaze he used to look at the little girl grew more serious, the clouds in his eyes moved, and his expression became unfathomable. It was hard to tell what he was thinking.

Noticing his silence, Yun Ke continued,

"Everyone knows that the Third Marquis is highly loved by the Emperor, and he has an extremely high voice in both the Great Chu Dynasty and the capital. The Sixth Prince was the most capable adult prince to compete with the Third Prince. The Emperor was determined to get the scorpion. If he could capture the scorpion immediately, it would be a great merit. With such a top priority, how could the Sixth Prince not go all out? "

That was why she knew that the Sixth Prince Chu Yixuan was on his way. Worried that Chu Tian would catch her red-handed, Yun Ke's reasons were all facts that everyone knew.

Chu Tian quietly looked at Yun Ke. The little girl in front of him looked young, but the calmness in her eyes was not something that someone of her age should have. Who was she exactly? Which family in the capital had such an outstanding daughter? How could he not know?

"If that's the case, then tell me, if this king's people did not find poisonous scorpions in the Valley of the Butterfly, how will they punish you?"

Chu Tian's words made Yun Ke understand that this time he was not the only one with Tiantong Zhuo outside the car. The Valley of the Butterfly must also have been searched by other people. This way, she would be able to escape very quickly.

"Why does the Prince want to punish my daughter?" "My daughter only proved that she was not a scorpion, and did not assure the prince that she would catch the scorpion for him. His highness's words really do not make sense."

The tone of the voice seemed to be both displeased and resentful, it had the peculiar frivolity of her age. Chu Tian looked carefully, and very quickly, he caught a trace of Yun Ke's craftiness that had not been retracted in time.

Indeed, she had only been arguing that she wasn't a scorpion and hadn't said that she would help him find one.

Scanning with his eyes, he realized that Han Yue and Han Qiu had been forced back by Tian Tong and Tian Zhuo. Chu Que's face was filled with ridicule, "Little girl, you're very smart, but you don't have the ability to protect yourself, so it's not very good."

Chu Tian coldly rode his horse closer to the carriage, closing in on Yun Ke, the pressure on his body was released. Even Yun Ke who had experienced life and death, had to admit that the current Chu Tian was enough to send chills down one's spine.

After restraining her thoughts, Yun Ke gave a faint smile and seemingly unintentionally replied, "Prince, you flatter me. My daughter has only said a few words from the bottom of her heart."

Yun Ke didn't deny her intelligence and didn't fully display her strength. She was still smiling faintly.

At this time, the cry of an eagle came from the sky. Chu Tian raised his hand and blew out a loud whistle. The eagle that had been circling in the sky for a while dove down, landing on Chu Que's shoulder.

In front of Yun Ke, Chu Tian took out a small note from the iron pipe on the eagle's leg, "Capture the poisonous scorpion ten li west of here. The Sixth Prince has intervened, I ask for your assistance."

Chu Tian's face sank as he turned the slip of paper into powder. Then he gave Yun Ke a deep look, "Little girl, your intelligence has saved you today. I hope that you can save yourself in the future."

Knowing that Chu Tian was planning on letting her go temporarily, Yun Ke relaxed a little, "Many thanks for the prince's reminder, little girl will remember it."

As before, it was a straightforward and pure voice without any impurities. Chu Tian Que could almost imagine what kind of expression Yun Ke had on her delicate little face.

Her phoenix-like eyes darkened as she sent waves of commands to Tiantong Zhuo, calling him to ride away.
