Oh oh oh~

The sky gradually brightened with the crowing of roosters.

A few miles outside the village, a group of people surrounded the carriage and slowly drove towards the village where the girl was. In addition to the coachman and the two women in the carriage, the five people outside the carriage each had a long sword on their waist, wore black tights, and had an indifferent expression.

You can tell at a glance that he is no ordinary thug. Ordinary people in the underworld would not have such a murderous temperament.

Inside the carriage.

"Aunt Lu, what on earth did that peasant say that made you come here in person?"

Inside the carriage, a girl in an emerald green dress was massaging the shoulders of the person in front of her, her tone revealing a hint of unhappiness.

"These muddy roads in the country are making me feel sick."

"Tui Er, you."

A gentle voice sounded, with a hint of doting in the tone.

The woman was dressed in gorgeous brocade and looked like she was fading away in age, but her breasts were half exposed, her eyes were full of smiles, and her voluptuous body revealed a charm that the girl in the green dress did not have, making her three times more beautiful.

"That woman praised her child as a fairy from heaven. I think she looks somewhat believable."

Cui Er kept moving her hands, and said in a slightly indignant tone: "How can we trust someone who can sell her own child to a brothel? I think she has never seen any beauty, and she just wants to cheat our Chunhua Pavilion of money."

When Aunt Lu heard her say this, didn’t she also think the same thing in her heart?

However, Chunhua Pavilion is becoming less and less famous now, while Lianyue Tower in the same place is becoming more and more famous. Now there is a girl in the tower who is more beautiful than all the other girls and has almost stolen all their limelight.

The person behind Chunhua Pavilion has issued an ultimatum. If he cannot come up with a solution and find the beauty, his fate will not be much better than that street prostitute.

Thinking of this, her expression became even more gloomy. She came here not only to grasp a glimmer of hope, but also to relax and think about what would happen after her death.

He waved his hand to ask Cui'er to stop, then went to the curtain and lifted it.

The sky becomes brighter and more charming, with only a light mist mixed with moisture to make people feel refreshed.

Aunt Lu sighed silently and withdrew her fair hand. This action made the ornament on her wrist jingle.

"How long until we arrive?"

The coachman at the carriage heard this and blurted out, "Madam, it will probably take another half an hour."

"Well, I see."

The wheels creaked as they rolled, and the woman, who was full of worries, felt as if she had arrived outside the village in the blink of an eye.

"Aunt Lu~"

It was not until Cui'er called her softly twice that she was awakened from her wandering thoughts and subconsciously smoothed her hair across her forehead.

"how?"

Cui Er was a little puzzled, but didn't think much about it. "Aunt Lu, we have arrived at the entrance of the village."

Here we are.

The woman took a deep breath. Although she didn't hold out much hope, she still managed to cheer herself up.

He raised his leg and walked out. The driver lifted the curtain at the right time with a respectful expression.

Although I didn't hold out hope, I walked out of the car and stood on the frame. I couldn't help but frown at the low and uneven thatched houses and the bumpy dirt road in front of me.

Phoenixes are always born from paulownia branches, but I have never heard that a phoenix can be raised in a mud puddle.

I have really lost my mind. How could I believe what that village woman said?

Aunt Lu already had the answer in her mind, and a little anger rose in her heart. No matter how well-mannered she was, she was still a little exasperated.

The scattered farmers had already noticed this group of people, but they were afraid to come forward. The people around the carriage were not dressed like ordinary people, and the two women guarding the carriage were wearing colorful clothes and surrounded by pearls and jade.

He was filled with fear, afraid of disturbing the two noble people in front of him.

Aunt Lu frowned. After all, since they were already here, it would be wrong not to see each other. She casually ordered, "Xiao Zhang, go and bring a few people to bring the two people I mentioned. Oh, and their daughter too."

Around the carriage frame, a young-looking guard in black bowed and accepted the order, then he waved his hand and two more people came out and followed him into the village.

"Aunt Lu, let's go back to the carriage and wait. This countryside is full of earthy smell, it's really unpleasant." Xiao Cui frowned, full of disgust for this place, and even looked at the villager with a bad expression.

Aunt Lu glanced at the villagers in rags and linen clothes, nodded, and said softly, "Okay."

Then, she lowered her head slightly and entered the carriage at the driver's motion. After all, she didn't want to stand outside like a monkey and be watched by others.

The three guards kept their right hands on the hilts of their swords at their waists at all times, with cold expressions.

Guard Zhang looked indifferent and ignored the villagers around him. He reached out and took out the letter from his arms, carefully reading the information on it.

The third household at the east end of the village.

He squinted his eyes and glanced around, then confirmed that the thatched house was not too far away, and then he raised his legs and ran towards it.

At this time, the two village women were lying on the wooden couch and dreaming sweet dreams. Next to them was a sack tied tightly to the pillar of the room.

Bang!

wow~

The couple was suddenly awakened by several loud noises. They opened their eyes embarrassedly and found three men in black with drawn swords looking at them indifferently.

"Ahhh!"

The village woman was dazzled by the shining long knife and screamed in fear.

Noisy~

The guard named Zhang frowned and swung the long sword in his hand with a strong wind. The woman had no time to react before she was blown off the bed with a bang, which shocked several people.

Then she turned her head to look at the man sitting on the bed, and said without any emotion, "Are you Wang Ergou?"

He really didn't have any good feelings towards the man who sold his daughter. If he didn't have business with Chunhua Pavilion, he really wanted to chop this bastard to pieces with a knife.

Seeing the man on the bed still looking at them with horror, his disgust grew even stronger, and with a flash of the knife he placed the blade on his neck.

"Let me ask you another question."

Feeling the cold touch on his skin, the middle-aged man shuddered and finally came back to his senses.

But at this moment, he dared not move, his teeth chattering, and he stammered, "Sir, sir, my name is Wang Ergou, but I have never done anything to harm the world! Sir, please spare my life!"

"But you sold your daughter to Chunhua Pavilion?"

"Yes, it's me."

Upon hearing this, the man sheathed his sword but still maintained an indifferent attitude.

"It's good that it's you. We are the guards of Chunhua Pavilion. We are here to take you to see our Pavilion Master."

The woman who had been lying on the ground silently and dared not say a word immediately raised her head when she heard this, with the light of money flashing in her eyes. Even the man who had been panicking could not help but feel happy, and hurriedly reached out and climbed down from the bed, wiping his body with his hands somewhat at a loss.

"Oh, how can you trouble me to come here in person? Just let me know in advance and my wife and I will go to the village entrance to meet you."

Seeing the man's flattering look, the man did not respond. He scanned the surroundings and found the sack shaking slightly beside the pillar. He could tell at a glance that there was a child inside.

He pointed and asked, "Is this the business you want to sell?"

The man smiled charmingly and bent over, saying, "Sir, this is the girl."

Guard Zhang said no more. He told the two men behind him to lift the sacks, then turned to the couple and said in a stern voice, "Follow me."

The couple looked at each other, and could see the surprise in each other's eyes. They hastily put on their linen clothes and excitedly followed the others out of the room.
