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

The third in command glanced at the officials who were staring at them with hatred, sneered with disapproval, and then forcefully pulled Chu Xi out.

"Stop talking nonsense. The boss wants to see you. You'd better be obedient and cooperate with us."

Chu Xi's eyes moved slightly, and he was almost tripped by the other party. His useless performance once again attracted the ridicule of the third in command.

The third in command thought to himself that the scholar was indeed completely useless.

Rong Jinfeng suddenly felt that...his previous understanding of Chu Qibai was too superficial, and this acting skill...was worth learning and studying.

Chu Xi smiled, and seemed to realize that she almost fell down and embarrassed herself, so she stood up again and straightened her clothes...

Then she found that her outer robe had been given away. The smile on her lips paused slightly, and she walked out as if nothing had happened.

When you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Chu Xi deliberately interpreted this sentence vividly.

As for Rong Jinfeng and the others, they could only watch Chu Xi being taken away by them. Then, they gathered together again when they heard the sound of the cell door being locked.

"Lord Rong, Prince Chu has been taken away, will he be okay?" Yu Huaxuan didn't know much about Chu Qibai. The officials who came were all minor officials and came from ordinary families.

Chu Qibai himself has not yet entered the official circle, and most officials' impression of him is just a transparent impression of the son of a loyal and brave marquis.

Before this, they knew nothing about Chu Jiang’s martial arts skills or what he looked like!

Although Chu Jiang had attended some occasions, such as poetry gatherings held at the Grand Princess's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion, and similar events like the Spring Banquet, he only dared to submit invitations to the Marquis' Mansion for events of these standards.

Officials below the fourth rank did not even dare to go to the mansion to deliver invitations, let alone open the gate of the mansion.

The class division of the gentry has always been very clear. Unless the next generation of marquis of Chujiang is demoted to earl, it will not fall from a first-class aristocratic family to a second-class one.

Otherwise, even if ordinary officials have made great achievements, they still cannot afford to offend Chu Jiang.

For this reason, except for a very few people who have seen Chu Jiang, most of the grassroots officials in the court are not very clear about Chu Jiang's true appearance, let alone Chu Jiang as a person.

Rong Jinfeng was not surprised by their suspicion of Chu Qibai, and patiently chuckled as he explained, "Chu Qibai is the eldest son of the Chu family, and was personally trained by his grandfather. Although I don't know much about martial arts, he has never fallen out of the top three in the hunting events held by the palace in previous years."

Only the sons of important ministers and generals could participate in the royal hunting. The princes would also participate. Riding and shooting were essential tasks in the Great Zhou Kingdom.

Under such circumstances, he was still able to stand out and occupy the top three, which was enough to show Chu Qibai's excellent martial arts foundation and riding and archery skills.

Yu Huaxuan didn't know much about Prince Chu, but since Lord Rong said so, he naturally believed it.

Lord Rong is the son of the Prime Minister. He and the Crown Prince of Chu are both in the capital and belong to the same class, so they should have some understanding of each other.

"Prince Chu is only a human being after all. If he really wants to save the princess..." the imperial physician who spoke earlier hinted euphemistically.

I'm afraid it will easily attract the attention of bandits.

It is possible that the bandits would kill people to silence them in a fit of rage.

The other three seemed to understand what he meant. They didn't say anything, but there was a trace of panic and fear in their eyes.

No one is not afraid of death, and no one wants to die.

Even in this feudal world where the emperor's orders are respected, they still cannot control their instincts.

Rong Jinfeng knew what Doctor Yang had not yet said, and he looked serious and solemn.

"Sir Yang, as officials appointed by the court and envoys of the emperor, even if the person being bullied today is not Her Royal Highness the Princess, but just an ordinary woman, we should not sit idly by."

Yu Huaxuan and the other three felt ashamed at Rong Jinfeng's slow words and stopped talking.

Under the guidance of the Third Boss, Chu Xi walked all the way from under the eaves to the two nice bamboo houses on the left.

"Brother." The third in command knocked on the door.

"Come in." A voice came from inside.

Chu Xi discovered that the boss who was sitting in his seat, under the candlelight, had a square appearance and his sitting posture with a straight back reminded her of the word "soldier".

As soon as this thought came to Chu Xi's mind, the more he looked at the boss in front of him, the more he felt that he was not like an ordinary bandit, but more like a soldier who had experienced many battles.

Chu Xi was pushed twice by the third in command unexpectedly, as if he thought she was walking too slowly.

"Write a letter." The boss pushed the pen, ink, paper and inkstone prepared on the table to Chu Xi.

Such a simple and crude approach made Chu Xi narrow her eyes slightly. She knew that these people would definitely make the best use of it, but would a normal person really have such courage?

Not only did they kidnap an official appointed by the imperial court, they also dared to kidnap a young man from a wealthy family, and asked him to write a letter and send it back in exchange for silver?

Or did they never intend to let themselves go back alive from the beginning, and just wanted to get the money and kill people to silence them?

"Brother, I heard that you refused to accept the woman I brought back last night. Why don't you give her to me? I just happen to need a woman to warm my bed." The second in command strode in.

His excited words could be heard in the corridor in his loud voice, which showed that he was really... itching to do it.

"Second brother." The third in command called out, and then gave a warning look to Chu Xi who was beside him picking up a pen and preparing to write a letter.

The second in command waved his hands disapprovingly. He didn't take Chu Xi seriously at all. "It's okay. If he dares to tell anyone, I'll chop him with a knife."

Chu Xi shrank his neck at the right time, and the pen in his hand trembled twice, as if it was about to fall at any time.

This performance successfully pleased the second in command, who laughed proudly and said, "Coward."

The big boss stared at Chu Xi. He did not react to the second in command's comment. He just silently observed Chu Xi's actions, as if he was trying to find flaws in her.

Chu Xi didn't look up, but just buried his head in writing the letter. Although he didn't show much fear, it was not difficult to tell from his untidy and crooked handwriting that he was indeed very scared.

The second in command snorted, once again showing his disdain and contempt for Chu Xi.

As for the eldest boss, he also restrained his gaze on Chu Xi and warned in a deep voice, "Third brother, you can't touch that woman without permission. I told you, she is still useful."

The second in command rarely sees such a beauty, and his heart is itching to see her. How can the first in command just say a few words to intimidate him?

He thought to himself, I'm just going to sleep with it, as long as I don't kill it and can take it away, isn't that enough?

The second in command felt disappointed because he didn't get the boss's consent, so he dragged the third in command out for a drink to celebrate his success.

The third in command refused.

The second in command left angrily.

After writing the letter, Chu Xi deliberately did not give it to them and made his request at the right time.

"I want to move to another room. That cell is not suitable for people to live in. I want to live in a room like yours."

As expected, the boss's guard was reduced a lot because of Chu Xi's request.

"You wish!" The third in command sneered.
