Love is deep but fate is shallow, this beautiful wife has waited for a thousand years

Xiaomi quickly collected all the pearls on the ground, carefully put them in a purse and hung it on her body, saying, "I will find someone to repair it as soon as we return to the capital."

Mu Xiaoqiao nodded, the curtain was opened, and Ruan Haoyu asked as soon as he came in, "What happened?"

With such a loud noise in the car, it was impossible that no one went to report it. Mu Xiaoqiao was glad that she was fast enough to deal with the matter before he came back.

"Slave..."

"It's okay, I just fell accidentally, it's a small matter." Mu Xiaoqiao interrupted Xiaomi's confession and said casually.

Seeing this, Xiaomi lowered his head and said nothing more.

Ruan Haoyu looked around and saw nothing unusual, so he didn't say anything else and just told the driver to set off.

In the darkness of the night, a tiny pearl was kicked by a horse's hoof into the grass by the roadside, blocking out the light.

-

"General Chen, there are traces of people and horses in the woods ahead. After a careful search, we found this."

On the pipe, a masked man in black was half-kneeling on the ground, holding something in his hands.

In the moonlight, the man in black on horseback saw a soft flash of light from the object in his hand. His eyes flashed, and he immediately dismounted and picked up the object in his subordinate's hand.

"Yes, it's the general's. It looks like we're tracking in the right direction. Everyone, get on your horses and set off overnight."

The sound of horse hooves rang out, and after a moment, the place returned to silence.

At this time, five days had passed since Mu Xiaoqiao left the Nanrong military camp.

Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the capital of Nanrong, Mu Xiaoqiao was extremely anxious every day. A Rui and the others must have discovered that she was no longer in the barracks. With her daily training in the army, it was only a matter of time before they discovered the clues she left. She was afraid that they would not be able to rescue her before she entered the Nanrong Palace. Once she entered the palace, the difficulty of rescue would increase greatly and casualties would be difficult to predict. This was the last thing she wanted to see.

But she is now under strict surveillance by Ruan Haoyu. Except for going out at the hour of You every day, he is with her all the time, whether eating or sleeping.

He was quite polite to her and never forced Mu Xiaoqiao to do anything. Whenever Mu Xiaoqiao felt uncomfortable, he would pick her up and feed her himself.

Mu Xiaoqiao later found out what those small jars on his desk were. They turned out to be snacks, candies, candied fruits, peanuts and walnut cakes, everything. However, he never ate any of them himself. They were all prepared for Mu Xiaoqiao.

Mu Xiaoqiao was surprised that he treated a prisoner so carefully, but she felt relieved after thinking about it. It was just because of her identity that she could help him, so she felt at ease eating.

Before they knew it, five days had passed and they were only two days away from the capital of Nanrong, but the person Mu Xiaoqiao was waiting for never arrived.

It was a sunny day, and the sun felt warm on people. During lunch, Ruan Haoyu picked up Mu Xiaoqiao, held her in his arms, and sat in the sun to rest.

Because Mu Xiaoqiao couldn't move, these past few days, Ruan Haoyu carried her out of the car in this position, basically using him as her backrest and also to prevent her from leaving his control.

The others were already used to it, and Mu Xiaoqiao herself had gotten used to it as well. Everything seemed to be no different from usual.

The only difference was that after eating, everyone fell asleep after a while.

Before passing out, Mu Xiaoqiao's last thought was that A Rui might have become smarter and knew to rely on wisdom instead of brute force.

When I woke up again, it was already dark outside, with only a ray of moonlight shining through the tall window.

Mu Xiaoqiao moved, and her hands and feet were tied again. However, she was pleasantly surprised to find that she seemed to have a little strength back.

It wasn't A Rui who came to save her, could it be that they encountered bandits?

Her eyes gradually adjusted to the surrounding light. Mu Xiaoqiao looked around and found that this was probably a woodshed. She was leaning on a pile of firewood at this time and vaguely saw that there was a person lying next to her, who seemed to be Ruan Haoyu.

Mu Xiaoqiao moved to the side with great effort and kicked Ruan Haoyu, "Hey, wake up."

Ruan Haoyu let out a low groan and slowly raised his head. His hands and feet were also tied. After seeing the situation clearly, he frowned.

"Ruan Haoyu, where are your secret guards? How could you fall into someone else's trap so easily?" Mu Xiaoqiao was not afraid at all, and even felt a little gloating.

Although the current situation is not optimistic, it is not a bad thing for Mu Xiaoqiao. At the very least, it can slow down her pace to the Nanrong Palace and create more opportunities for her to escape.

Ruan Haoyu was silent for a while. He didn't want to tell her that in the past few days, all his secret guards were dealing with those who came to rescue her. That group of people was too difficult to deal with, so he had to send all of these secret guards over and only kept some palace guards around him.

"Are you okay?" Ruan Haoyu changed the subject.

"I won't die." Mu Xiaoqiao curled her lips. No matter what, it was better than falling into his hands. At least he hadn't been fed with muscle-softening powder for most of the day.

"Don't be afraid, my secret guards will come to rescue us soon."

Thank you, I don't want them to come. Mu Xiaoqiao complained in her heart, judging from her current physical condition, if she could hold on until tomorrow without taking the tendon softening powder, her strength would be able to recover at least half, which should be more than enough to escape.

"Ruan Haoyu, have we encountered bandits?" Mu Xiaoqiao was bored and took the initiative to chat with Ruan Haoyu for the first time. Perhaps there was hope, and her mood also brightened a little.

Ruan Haoyu nodded, "That should be the case, but I've never heard of bandits around the capital. Where did these bandits come from?"

"No matter where they come from, it's their bad luck to meet you, Prince Haoyu." Mu Xiaoqiao said with a smile, half sarcastically.

She could imagine that if Ruan Haoyu escaped this time, he would never let these bandits go. She knew what it would feel like to fall into Ruan Haoyu's hands.

Ruan Haoyu was about to speak when Mu Xiaoqiao suddenly made a "hush" sound and said in a low voice, "Someone is coming."

The door was kicked open with a bang, and a burly bearded man walked in. The smell of alcohol hit his nose. Without saying a word, he came in and dragged Mu Xiaoqiao away. Mu Xiaoqiao just resisted for a while, but Ruan Haoyu stood up and pushed the bearded man away, angrily asking: "Where are you taking her?"

"Damn it, you dare to bump into me, you don't want to live anymore." The bearded man kicked Ruan Haoyu in the stomach and knocked him to the ground.

This kick almost dislocated Ruan Haoyu's internal organs. He groaned, curled up into a ball, and found it difficult to stand up for a while.

The bearded man cursed and pointed at Mu Xiaoqiao, saying, "This girl is so pretty, of course she's going to be our boss's wife. Why, you can't bear to let her go?"

As soon as these words came out, Mu Xiaoqiao also frowned. This was troublesome. Her power had not recovered yet. What should she do if the bandit forced himself on her tonight?
