The Crown Prince I’m Raising Has Turned Evil

Chapter 411 The defecting prince

The next day, Ye Bai took Afeng and his friend Zhao Yan to catch up with Xie Linlang.

Because they were anxious to save people, they didn't take much rest along the way. Ten days later, they crossed mountains and ridges, took the secret passage of escorts, passed through the border defense, and arrived at Suiye City.

The Swamp Country is a hilly country with dense forests, high mountains and swamps, and few flat areas.

As soon as he arrived in the land of Swamp Kingdom, Xie Linlang had a clear sense of foreignness. Unlike Zeguo, Zeguo followed the culture of the Central Plains and was similar to Da Qin except for being overly fond of luxury.

But the Swamp Kingdom is different. All the people in the Swamp Kingdom believe in the forest goddess and admire the natural wind. In addition, most of them have to hunt, so they mostly wear simple hunting attire, and the decorations are mainly colorful feathers, gold, and silver. As well as tulle, flowers and more.

Fortunately, although they have their own language, most people who live in the city can speak Mandarin.

As soon as they saw Xie Linlang and others, they knew they were outsiders, but they were already used to it, because these outsiders were generally generous and friendly to them.

After Xie Linlang changed into the clothes of the Swamp Kingdom in Broken Leaf City, she led everyone to continue setting off.

Their destination was a place called Lilac City, where their former escort lived. Not far from Lilac City was the Snake Bone Forest.

Xie Linlang looked at the map on the carriage and calculated the distance, but Afeng and the others were very nervous.

The closer they get, the more worried they become. Brother Gu and the others have been missing for almost twenty days now, and they don’t know how they are doing now...

Seeing this, Xie Linlang asked in order to divert their attention.

"Do you remember the route into the mountain?"

Afeng came back to his senses and nodded vigorously, "Remember, Brother Gu specially trained our ability to remember roads and observe people."

Xie Linlang raised her eyebrows and asked, "What are the characteristics of the person who escorts the escort?"

Afeng frowned and thought for a while, "To tell you what, sir, although the man is a man, he is not tall and looks very thin. He has an ordinary appearance and has no special features. There is a red mole behind his ear."

Seeing that his memory was so good, Xie Linlang couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"How old are you?"

Afeng said quickly, "Fourteen."

Zhao Yan beside him whispered, "I'm fifteen."

Xie Linlang nodded, "How old am I to you? From now on, you two will just call me Brother Xie instead of Sir."

The two young men nodded quickly, and a few days later, the carriage arrived at Lilac City.

Going further, the carriage was no longer suitable, so they divided into two groups.

Xie Linlang took people to find the escort, and Xunfeng traded the carriage for the mules.

The people in the surrounding Swamp Kingdom would look at Xie Linlang and others intentionally or unintentionally when they passed by.

It wasn't that they discovered that they were not from the Marsh Kingdom, but that Xie Linlang looked a little too good-looking after putting on the clothes of the Marsh Kingdom.

Because it was still very cold, Xie Linlang wore a white feather cloak. Her long hair was not tied up, but like the men here, it was half tied up, fixed with a long lake-blue bird feather, and half braided. It is made into a small braid and hangs long behind the back.

In addition, she also wore a delicately woven silver thread on her forehead, and a gemstone bracelet on her hand, which made her already delicate appearance even more gorgeous.

When the winter sunshine fell on her through the gaps in the trees, people seemed to see the legendary forest elf, and naturally they couldn't help but look at it again and again.

The reason why Xie Linlang doesn't have any disguise is because her androgynous appearance is very popular in the local area.

Because each of the seven children conceived by the legendary forest goddess was as beautiful as cast from heaven, men and women in the Swamp Kingdom all pursued this exquisite beauty.

They also believe that the more beautiful a person is, the closer their bloodline is to the goddess. Naturally, the Snake Spirit Saint is the most beautiful woman considered by the Swamp Country.

Relying on his appearance, Xie Linlang was not suspected at all despite his status as a noble of the Marsh Kingdom.

And no matter what she wanted to know, there were always people rushing to answer her, so she soon had a general understanding of the current situation in the Swamp Country.

After the previous defeat, the royal family of the Marsh Kingdom fell into complete silence. After that, the emperor seemed to have become seriously ill, and then he asked his eldest prince to handle political affairs, and he no longer showed up.

Xie Linlang was thoughtful after hearing this. At this moment, Afeng pulled her sleeves and pointed to the stilted corridor on the hillside not far away.

"That's it."

The architectural style of the Marsh Kingdom is very different from that of Da Qin. Because of the humidity, most of the people living here are stilted buildings or short wooden buildings.

They didn't build roads either. The entire Lilac City is a road trodden by people. On both sides of the road are grass and early spring flowers. Not far away are forests and trees. The whole town is perfectly integrated with nature. There is a breath of spring.

The building Afeng pointed to was where the person who took the escort last time lived. It was on a hillside with a small patch of bamboo growing around it.

Xie Linlang quickly took them there to visit, but after knocking for a long time, no one answered.

At this time, the woman who was drying the fruits saw this and took the initiative to speak.

"This distinguished guest, the people who lived here have moved out and it is now empty and unoccupied."

Hearing this, Xie Linlang raised her eyebrows slightly, "Do you know where he moved to?"

The woman thought for a while and said, "Some people saw him leading people to carry heavy things to the Snake Bone Forest, and then never came out again."

Xie Linlang nodded and thanked him, but still wanted to go in and take a look. Even though he was gone, there might be evidence left behind.

Just as she was about to break in, a group of people rode into the city, shouting as they ran.

"The sixteenth prince rebelled, stabbed the saint, and defected to Luoye City! Everyone, listen. Once you find any trace of the prince, report it to the city commander immediately. If you dare to harbor criminals, you will be jailed!"

They shouted over and over again, gradually moving from the east to the west of the city.

Xie Linlang was still thinking, what's the use of them just shouting like that? If there is no bounty or anything, who will provide clues?

Unexpectedly, after they ran past, all the local people started whispering, and some even said angrily.

"The prince has a spirit snake totem on his wrist. We must pay more attention and don't let this defector go unpunished!"

"Oh my god, how dare he hurt the saint? He will be punished by the goddess!"

Sounds like this came one after another, and Xie Linlang was a little confused. Fortunately, Afeng knew a little bit and explained in her ear.

"The people of the Swamp Country are very united and very xenophobic. This is why I suggested before that you must have a Swamp Country identity. Otherwise, once you are found to be a foreigner, the people here will not tell us anything. ."

"And that saint is also very prestigious in the Swamp Kingdom, because all the people in the Swamp Kingdom believe in the Forest Goddess, and as the representative of the goddess, the saint is naturally respected by all the people in the Swamp Kingdom. They said that the defecting prince stabbed the saint, It will definitely cause public outrage.”

Only then did Xie Linlang suddenly realize, and at the same time he thought with some uncertainty.

Sixteenth prince? Could it be Baishui Qiye?

(I had a serious lag before and deleted a lot. Now I finally finished them. I will finish the remaining two before eleven o'clock. I'm sorry - I will add more to compensate tomorrow~ Mmm!)
