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

The two slowly approached the tree, and the noise came again. Someone shouted loudly: "You guys, go over there, you guys, go to the front."

Ruan Haoyu and Mu Xiaoqiao quickened their pace and came to the tree. Ruan Haoyu held onto the tree and stood still, saying, "You step on me and go up first."

Mu Xiaoqiao never expected that the dignified Prince of Nanrong would be willing to be her stepping stone. Not to mention that the two of them were enemies, even if they were colleagues, they might not be able to do this.

"You should step on me first." Mu Xiaoqiao was silent for a moment and then spoke. She swore that she just didn't want to owe others a favor.

Ruan Haoyu sneered, "Have you fully recovered your strength now? Can you still stand if I step on you?"

Mu Xiaoqiao was speechless. This is all your fault!

"Hurry up, do you want to die here? Don't forget that the Dajin army is still waiting for you to return." Seeing that she was hesitant to move, Ruan Haoyu could not help but urge her again.

Mu Xiaoqiao gritted his teeth. That’s right, now is not the time to worry about so many things. The most important thing is to escape.

"The fire broke out." A loud shout came from the front. The two turned around and saw a beam of fire coming from the direction of Ling Ao's room. Mu Xiaoqiao remembered the candlestick she had just knocked over and couldn't help but groan inwardly.

Although the fire at this moment could indeed cause chaos in the village, at the same time, the fire also illuminated the darkness, making it more difficult for them to escape. It is true that fortune and misfortune go hand in hand.

Mu Xiaoqiao no longer hesitated, took a deep breath, lifted the hem of her skirt and stepped on Ruan Haoyu's shoulders.

After climbing up the tree with great effort, Mu Xiaoqiao was about to pull Ruan Haoyu up, but she heard a flurry of footsteps running towards them, and it was too late.

Ruan Haoyu made a prompt decision and shouted in a low voice, "Hide well." Then he ran to the side. Mu Xiaoqiao knew that he didn't want the newcomers to focus their attention on the tree.

She hurriedly found a place with dense leaves to hide herself, and then she saw a group of people rushing towards her with torches, and just in time she saw Ruan Haoyu who had not yet had time to run away.

"Stop!" someone shouted.

Ruan Haoyu stopped. Ling Ao rushed over after hearing the noise. When he saw Ruan Haoyu, he immediately became furious. He stepped forward and punched him in the chest. Ruan Haoyu immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

"You little bastard, I told you to run." Ling Ao was still not satisfied, and kicked Ruan Haoyu out again.

Ruan Haoyu slowly stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, and actually grinned.

"Why is the village chief so angry? I didn't run away either, did I?" he said nonchalantly.

"Where is that bitch?" Ling Ao gritted his teeth. He really didn't expect that he would fall into the hands of a woman tonight.

"Bitch? Are you talking about my first wife?" Ruan Haoyu shook his head. "She is the best woman in the world."

Mu Xiaoqiao couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hand. It was already this late, and Ruan Haoyu still had the mind to tease her and use her to annoy Ling Ao.

Sure enough, Ling Ao kicked up again, "What a ghost! When I find her, I will send you to be a pair of ghost mandarin ducks."

Mu Xiaoqiao couldn't bear to watch. Ever since she met Ruan Haoyu, he always looked like a nobleman. This was the first time she saw him in such an embarrassed state. And yet, he was protected by the prince of the enemy country just to protect her. Mu Xiaoqiao didn't know what to feel for a moment.

A bandit suddenly ran over and whispered something in Ling Ao's ear. Ling Ao cursed and ordered, "Take this little bastard to the woodshed and assign someone to guard him strictly. Everyone else, follow me."

After saying that, he strode away first.

Ruan Haoyu was pushed by others to the woodshed. Before leaving, he glanced at where Mu Xiaoqiao was hiding and shook his head slightly.

Mu Xiaoqiao knew that he was asking her not to act rashly and to hide first.

After a while, the group of people left, the fire in Ling Ao's room was put out, and everything returned to calm.

Mu Xiaoqiao, on the contrary, was not in a hurry. She found a place with a thick tree trunk and sat down in a comfortable position to rest. Anyway, Ruan Haoyu's life would not be in danger for a while. If Ling Ao wanted to kill him, he would not let anyone send him back to the woodshed.

She also needs to conserve her energy and recover as soon as possible.

Silent all night.

When Mu Xiaoqiao woke up, the sky was just beginning to turn pale. She stretched herself and felt refreshed. Her body, which had been unable to move for a long time, suddenly regained its freedom and she felt very happy.

After trying his luck for a week, Mu Xiaoqiao found that his strength had recovered about 60%, which was better than expected. However, he was a little hungry, so he had to find something to eat.

Mu Xiaoqiao jumped down lightly, figured out the direction, and headed towards the woodshed to see if the guy was dead first.

With the help of martial arts, Mu Xiaoqiao easily avoided the patrols. These people had searched the mountain for most of the night and were yawning at the moment, but they were not as energetic as Mu Xiaoqiao.

But when Mu Xiaoqiao arrived at the woodshed, he found nothing. Ruan Haoyu was no longer there.

Mu Xiaoqiao's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he couldn't find her and had been killed by Ling Ao in a rage?

Mu Xiaoqiao immediately denied this idea. If Ling Ao wanted to kill people, he would not have used drugs and locked them up in the woodshed. He also said that someone wanted Ruan Haoyu's life, which meant that Ling Ao had no say in Ruan Haoyu's life.

Now she could only hope that the person who wanted to kill Ruan Haoyu had not appeared yet. Otherwise, even if she was magnanimous enough to let bygones be bygones and wanted to save him, she was afraid that he would not be able to escape.

Mu Xiaoqiao analyzed the situation while cautiously moving towards the front hall.

She was lucky enough to find the kitchen. Mu Xiaoqiao took a few steamed buns and put them on her body in case of emergency.

The rooms in the village are very simple, and the front hall is only slightly larger. It seems that this village is relatively poor, and the tables and chairs used are made of very ordinary wood.

Mu Xiaoqiao hid on the roof and heard Ling Ao's voice: "Damn it, I promised to give him 10,000 taels of gold if I caught that kid, but he cheated me and only gave me 5,000 taels. Do you think I can get rid of him?"

Another bandit said, "Boss, in that case, just leave them all here." He made a killing gesture.

Ling Ao waved his hand, "No, you can't see that these two people are wearing silk and satin. They must be rich or noble. We only want money. We will try our best not to kill people and rob them if we can."

Mu Xiaoqiao nodded slightly. She didn't expect that Ling Ao had some principles. No wonder the village looked so poor.

Two people? It seems that the real culprit has appeared.

Mu Xiaoqiao weighed the situation, stuffed the last bite of the steamed bun into his mouth, and relying on his skill and courage, he kicked through the roof, flew down, and caught Ling Ao by the throat unexpectedly, shouting, "Don't move, or I'll kill him immediately."

"It's you!" Ling Ao had difficulty breathing and was unable to break free. His martial arts skills were far inferior to Mu Xiaoqiao's, so he could only utter these two words with difficulty.
