After I disguised myself as a man, I became everyone's white moonlight

The bandit no longer hesitated and opened the cell next to Rong Jinfeng and let Chu Xi in.

Chu Xi achieved his goal and walked in neatly.

The bandit knocked on the cell door. "Clothes."

Chu Xi smiled and said, "Okay, I'll give it to you right away."

She immediately took off her clothes, but she only had two pieces of clothing left. In order not to expose herself, she deliberately did not hand them over.

The other party took nothing, and his brows began to show impatience and anger, "Do you want to regret it?"

Chu Xi quickly said no, and continued with a smile, "I'll give you the clothes. I don't have any outer robes, so please give me the thicker outer robe. I'm afraid of the cold at night."

Because of Chu Xi's words, the bandits became less suspicious of him, and even thought that Chu Xi had originally wanted to exchange this piece of clothing for warmer thicker clothes, and the prison cell was just an excuse.

He thought he had guessed it, but considering the Suzhou Song brocade that cost three thousand taels per piece, he went out and got a thick coat that he usually wore on duty at night and threw it into the cell.

Chu Xi didn't keep him on suspense any longer, threw his outer robe to the bandit, and thanked him with a smile, "Thank you, big brother."

The bandit also successfully took the clothes from Chu Xi's hand, and went out satisfied. Before leaving, he also gave Chu Xi a special reminder.

"Stay still and don't try to escape. As long as you write the letter and send it back home, the village will get the silver and will naturally let you go back."

For the sake of money, he was kind enough to give Chu Xi some good advice.

Chu Xi had been quite cooperative. Facing this man's warning, she nodded with fluttering eyebrows, "Don't worry, I definitely won't cause any trouble. I just want to save my life."

The bandit walked out satisfied. As for the people in the cell next door, he didn't say anything and was too lazy to care.

Chu Xi thought about it for a while, he was quite brave. Even if the bandits were robbing, they would target wealthy businessmen and people with little fighting power.

To take advantage of the disaster relief money distributed by the court and the court officials of high rank and rank means that one is either extremely bold and fearless of death, or... there is someone behind it.

In ancient times, the order of heaven, earth, emperor, parents and teachers was the thinking of most people. Even if one was an extremely vicious habitual bandit, there was no reason for him to offend the court at this critical juncture and risk being suppressed.

Lord Yu leaned in and whispered to Rong Jinfeng, "This guy is very courageous. He was caught here, but he still dared to negotiate with these bandits."

"But Lord Rong, since he can write a letter back home asking for help, can we do the same? Or we can explain our identities to him and ask him to report to the government for us after he gets out."

Lord Yu was speaking to Rong Jinfeng very seriously and estimating the possibilities of the two.

He didn't realize Chu Xi had come over, squatted down, and said with a smile across the fence, "Sure, three hundred taels per person, are you willing to pay for your life?"

Rong Jinfeng was not very close to Chu Jiang. He only knew that he was the study partner of His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan. This time, he even took the initiative to offer to accompany His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan to such a dangerous place as Yunzhou.

"Three hundred taels? You seem to know how to ask for a price!" Lord Yu blurted out to the young man who was asking for a price.

"What? Do you think your life is not worth three hundred taels?" Chu Xi smiled and deliberately asked him back.

“…” This question stumped Lord Yu. If he said it was not worth it, it would seem like he was scolding himself. If he said it was worth it, wouldn’t he have to give him so much money?

It was obviously a pit, right there, but adults couldn't help but jump into it.

Rong Jinfeng could tell from Chu Xi's smile that he was joking, so he avoided the topic and chuckled, "How did you get in? With your martial arts skills, it should be no problem for you to escape alone, right?"

Chu Qibai inherited his grandfather's martial arts. Even if he couldn't kill all the bandits, he should be able to escape using his Qinggong skills.

Chu Xi looked at Rong Jinfeng who was leaning against the wall with interest, "I can escape, but if I escape, how will you leave?"

Rong Jinfeng was surprised, "Your Highness already knows?"

His first reaction was that Chu Qibai was sent by His Royal Highness Prince Yan to inquire about the situation.

"I don't know if Your Highness knows this, but I was somewhere else before, and on my way back to Yunzhou, I was spotted by them and captured. As a result, I saw you when I came in."

Chu Xi naturally couldn't say that he was reminded by the system. The process of how he was caught was not important. The most important thing was to be able to talk to people.

There were two hours left, and now only one hour was left.

She had to hurry.

A hint of disappointment unconsciously appeared in Yu Huaxuan's eyes, and then he realized a problem.

Why could Rong Jinfeng talk about King Yan so freely with the person in front of him?

Yu Huaxuan glanced suspiciously at Chu Xi in front of him, and then lowered his voice and asked Rong Jinfeng, "Sir, do you know him?"

"Let me introduce you. This is Prince Chu from the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion, and his courtesy name is Qibai," Rong Jinfeng introduced.

Yu Huaxuan almost dropped his eyes, mainly because the scene of Prince Chu bargaining with the bandits had left a deep impression on him.

"Meet Prince Chu."

He only needed to nod slightly. Officially speaking, Chu Xi now only had the title of Crown Prince and had not yet entered the court to receive the title, so he had no real power.

Yu Huaxuan was at least a seventh-rank official.

Chu Xi nodded calmly towards Yu Huaxuan, "No need to be polite."

"Do you have a way to escape?" Rong Jinfeng seized the loophole in Chu Xi's previous words.

"This..." Chu Xi naturally did not elaborate with Rong Jinfeng, but just smiled lightly, and then said, "No, but I'm here, His Highness will definitely send someone to look for it."

"How did your highness know that we were trapped here?"

"The route that I took from the village that Your Highness sent me to back to Yunzhou City was calculated to be only Qingshan Peak. Your Highness is so smart that he will be able to guess it." Chu Xi easily convinced them.

Rong Jinfeng's eyes lit up, "Qi Bai is right, I forgot this."

"Don't worry, His Highness is here, he will definitely come to rescue us."

The confident tone made the five people present feel both disappointed and a little hopeful.

She glanced calmly at the other four people. She was not sure whether Rong Jinfeng could trust her, not to mention that there were four officials she did not know.

She was not sure if there were any spies from other princes here. Was there a traitor in the Qingshan Peak who was able to kidnap them this time?

Rong Jinfeng, "......"

Chu Xi changed the subject, "By the way, how were you captured? No matter how vicious the bandits were, they shouldn't dare to offend the imperial court easily. Besides, there should be hundreds of soldiers escorting you, right?"

Could it be that a team of several hundred people could not defeat a mere hundred or so bandits?

Rong Jinfeng recounted what happened yesterday.

It turned out that they had stayed in an abandoned yard ten miles outside Yunzhou city last night. It suddenly rained last night, and they were afraid that the medicine and food would get wet, so they had to find a place to stay first.
