On the way back, Chu Xi passed by Dayu Village, which was also hit by the flood. The village seemed to be assigned to an official brought by Zhou Yichen.

She took a quick look and continued on her way.

Zhou Yichen is a person with her own ideas. If she hadn't encountered any problems, she would not have been called back in such a hurry.

It takes half an hour to get from Fengyang Village to Yunzhou City by horse, and you have to pass through mountains and hills. The geographical location is a bit dangerous and prone to ambushes.

Maybe it was because of what happened with the Nalan family before, but Chu Xi was naturally wary of this kind of place. Before he even got close, he reined in his horse and stopped to take a closer look.

"Prince, what's wrong?" The guard wondered why Chu Xi suddenly stopped.

"This place doesn't look very safe. There are hills and dense forests on both sides, which are natural barriers and are too easy to be ambushed." Chu Xi looked around with sharp eyes.

In this place, if there are people hiding behind trees or hills, it would be difficult for them to see them at a glance.

"No way, I didn't encounter anything on my way there." The personal guard didn't say the following sentence about whether the prince was being too cautious.

Chu Jiang is not only the eldest son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, but also His Highness' most trusted confidant. Naturally, he would not dare to offend him easily.

"We'll know if there is anyone there after a try!" After Chu Xi finished speaking, he quickly shot darts towards some hidden places.

This thing was something I had hidden with me since that time in Yizhou.

I was in such a hurry to leave that I forgot to bring my sword.

This was the only way she could test it.

She shot over...but there was no sound. Chu Xi thought, maybe she was just overthinking.

[Please rescue the hostages held by Qingshanfeng! ]

Chu Xi had just grabbed the reins and was about to continue on her way when she heard the long-lost notification from the system and realized...it was not that she was overthinking, but that either the position was wrong or the other party could tolerate it.

"Qingshan Peak?"

This original work did not appear. After all, novels are not real life and it is impossible to cover all aspects.

[Qingshan Peak plot node, please rescue the hostage Rong Jinfeng. Complete it within two hours. You will be punished if you exceed the time limit! ]

Two hours. Now it’s time to start the time-limited task, right?

"!"grass.

"Your system is really inhuman." Chu Xi quickly added, "I almost forgot that you are not a human being."

484 said in a childish voice, [Host, please complete the task as quickly as possible, otherwise be careful of electric shock~]

"Is your system only about punishment? Shouldn't I get some reward for working so hard?" Chu Xi felt that it was time for him to bargain.

Working for free and being treated like a slave is not her type.

484, [Isn’t the host’s resurrection the greatest reward? ]

Chu Xi, "......"

do not want to talk.

Hundreds of people hiding behind the hill silently clenched their knives and looked at the man squatting in the middle, as if they would take action immediately as long as he gave the order.

Chu Xi did not stay any longer, but waved to the guards beside him, "I suddenly remembered that I seemed to have forgotten to take something. Can you go back and ask Chu Er where I put my sachet?"

"You go back and get it. I'll go back first."

The guard didn't understand why Chu Xi asked him to go back and get the sachet, but since Chu Xi had said it, he didn't ask any more questions and turned around and rode back without saying a word.

Chu Xi no longer looked at the surrounding environment. The longer he looked, the more suspicion he would draw from others.

Regardless of whether there is someone hiding here or not, it will not work if they just fight head-on.

No matter how good she is at fighting, confronting her head-on like this is a bad idea.

The best way is to sneak up Qingshan Peak and rescue Rong Jinfeng from inside Qingshan Peak.

However, this Rong Jinfeng sounds very familiar, as if I have heard him somewhere before.

"Brother, why did that man turn around and go back? Did he discover us?" The people hiding behind the hill watched the young man in brocade clothes and gorgeous clothes riding a horse disappear from their sight, and asked anxiously.

"Probably not. They have already tested us once." The leading man was good at martial arts and heard what Chu Xi said about the sachet.

"Young masters like them like to wear sachets, so they might ask someone to go back and get them."

"Brother, do you want to stop that guy?" the person next to him asked.

The leading man groaned, "No need. They are not our target. It is better not to alarm them. It will do us no good to attract soldiers."

"Then we have already kidnapped a group of people. Aren't they also from the government? We will do the same thing if we kidnap one person or two people."

"Brother, what the third brother said is true. Why don't we tie up the one in blue?"

Not to mention, after being persuaded by the two, the eldest brother, who had originally had no other ideas and felt it didn't matter whether to catch him or not, actually let them do it.

There are only two people, one going back and one going forward. It might be possible to stop one, but it is impossible to stop two.

Comparing the two, they naturally chose Chu Xi. The one in blue clothes looked like a rich young man.

Just like that, Chu Xi, who was still racking his brains on how to find Qingshan Peak, was stopped by someone...

"Brother, what can I do for you?" Chu Xi deliberately spoke in a flowery manner, making himself look like a simple-minded and pedantic young man.

"Don't say that to me, I don't understand. If you don't want to die, get off your horse!" The second brother carried a big knife on his body. He had a scar on his face and looked quite scary.

"Don't be impulsive. I'll get off the horse right now." Chu Xi pretended to be frightened when he got off the horse. His legs were shaking and he almost fell down, looking very embarrassed.

Her performance caused the hundreds of people who were blocking her way to laugh, as if they were mocking Chu Xi's "incompetence".

"I thought you were so powerful, but it turns out you're just so timid!"

Chu Xi forced a smile, "Of course, no matter how important money is, it's useless without life. I just want to spend money to avoid disaster."

"My family is not short of money, but I forgot to bring any with me. As long as you don't harm my life, I swear I will write a letter and ask my family to give me ten thousand taels of gold."

The second brother's eyes lit up when he heard this. Ten thousand taels of gold is not a small amount of money.

The third brother also exchanged glances with the second brother, both of them were eager for the huge tael of gold.

"Is your family so rich?" The eldest brother was not so easily fooled. The look in Chu Xi's eyes when he shot the dart did not seem like that of a coward.

"Of course. If you don't believe me, you can take my jade pendant to the pawnshop in Zhuozhou and ask. I promise I won't let you down."

There was still doubt in the eldest brother's eyes, but the second and third brothers beside him kept persuading him, saying that Chu Xi was a gold nugget. The clothes he wore showed that he was a rich young man, and the jade pendant felt of good quality.

All right, with one thing after another, the boss was so overwhelmed by the huge sum of gold that he forgot his initial doubts.

They thought Chu Xi was a smart man who knew how to use money to save his life, so that was a good thing.

One side is after money, the other side is trying to "save his life". The third brother thinks it would be great if everyone could be as sensible as this person.

All the darts on Chu Xi's body were taken out, and her money was taken away. As for her, she was tied up tightly and brought back to Qingshan Peak.
