Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

When Cao Kuan heard the prince's voice, he was overjoyed and appeared in front of Zishuyan in a few seconds.

Then, he was frightened by Xu Jinyu's skeleton-like appearance and let out a "wow!" and took a big step back.

Seeing Cao Kuan's actions, Xu Jinyu raised her eyebrows. She knew that she didn't look good at the moment. Cao Kuan's actions were too exaggerated.

Although he didn't dare to say anything, Xu Jinyu kept complaining in his heart, "What are you talking about? You will look even uglier later. You will be turned into a human pig by the Third Prince's men, and then thrown into the Insect Cave, where you will be devoured by the insects and die. In the end, even your bones will be ground into powder and scattered in the toilet."

Cao Kuan suddenly heard a voice describing his miserable future. His eyes bulged and he opened his mouth to yell.

The prince held his arm and stopped him with his eyes.

"Young Master?" Cao Kuan looked at the prince in confusion.

The prince was also a little confused. He originally thought that he had awakened his telepathy, but looking at Cao Kuan's expression, he could also hear the girl's thoughts.

"Listen." The prince whispered.

The prince turned around and said in a loud voice: "Cao Kuan, this girl is the one who saved me. Please be polite. I haven't asked for your name yet?"

"No need to ask your surname Xu,"

At this point, Xu Jinyu couldn't help but twitch her lips: "My name is Xu Zhaodi."

"Xu~~Zhao Di."

The prince choked. How could this girl say his name?

The maiden name of a young lady from a wealthy family is private and usually only known by her parents and people with whom she has a particularly good relationship.

And what a crappy name.

At the prince's signal, Cao Kuan respectfully said to Xu Jinyu: "Greetings, Miss Xu. Thank you for saving my life."

Being thanked so solemnly, Xu Jinyu said a little embarrassedly: "It's okay, it's just a small favor."

I subconsciously thought in my heart,

[How can I convince this prince to go with him? Otherwise, I will die if I go home now. In ancient times, single women could not travel alone, not to mention that they needed a pass.]

[How about pretending to sprain your ankle? ]

After thinking about it, Xu Jinyu shook his head frantically.

[The external conditions for someone who sprains his ankle and asks for shelter are a body as graceful as a willow and tears on the verge of falling. It would be best if they also have a pair of eyes that seem to want to say something but can’t, and tears that are about to fall but can’t.]

[What I am doing is nothing. A monkey is begging for a banana. At least the monkey’s eyes are still watery. ]

“Puff…”

Cao Kuan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Zi Shuyan's cheeks also turned red from holding it in.

Xu Jinyu raised her head in confusion and looked at Cao Kuan who laughed but tried hard to hold it back.

He was very skilled in psychological activities. [What are you laughing at? You and your family are about to be in trouble. If I don't go with you, who knows what will happen.]

"Cough!" Zi Shuyan coughed.

"Miss Xu, we are about to go down the mountain. Your condition doesn't look good. Would you like to come with us to see a doctor for treatment? It will be our way of repaying you."

Xu Jinyu subconsciously thought,

[Then my huge sum of money is gone. ]

"Cough!" Zi Shuyan coughed again.

"Of course the girl will have to pay a lot of money."

“Then let’s go.”

At the foot of the mountain were several horses tied up, as well as guards who had been summoned by Cao Kuan's signal.

As soon as they saw Zi Shuyan, they all knelt down and said, "Sir, I am late. I hope you will forgive me."

Zi Shuyan has now regained his princely demeanor and raised his hand, saying, "Get up, no one would have thought there was a spy among us."

[Wow! They are all 1.8 meters tall cool guys. Tall and majestic, handsome, and imposing are the perfect words to describe them.]

[As expected, when compared to others, those effeminate stars in boy bands are just too incompetent. ]

The guards suddenly heard a scream and trembled in fear. Then they turned their eyes to the woman who looked like a monkey.

"Ahem! This is Miss Xu, my savior." Zi Shuyan coughed again.

The guards understood immediately and clasped their fists together.

“Meet Miss Xu.”

Xu Jinyu's big teeth were fully exposed when she laughed. This scene would never be seen when chasing stars.

"All right, everyone."

[What a pity… all these cool guys behind him were killed. They died miserably, one more miserable than the other. Cao Kuan was the most miserable.]

The guards' eyes drifted towards Cao Kuan, asking him why he was so miserable.

Cao Kuan glared at the guards with a dark face.

No matter how miserable it is, we are all in the same situation. We’ll talk about it later.

The focus now is the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

After greeting each other, everyone got on their horses without saying much and headed straight for Zhengyang County.

As for Xu Jinyu, since he did not know how to ride a horse, he rode on the same horse with Cao Kuan.

What Xu Jinyu didn't know was that just as he and the prince's men left here, a middle-aged woman came from another road.

And this middle-aged woman was the one who threw Xu Zhaodi onto the mountain - Xu Zhaodi's aunt.

Xu Zhaodi was thrown up the mountain simply because her aunt wanted to save some food.

As he walked, he muttered, "I don't know if that little girl is dead or not. I hope she's not dead. I was so confused. If she's dead, it's hard to sell her."

"A little girl can be sold for at least two taels of silver."

After saying that, he quickened his pace and walked towards the place where Xu Zhaodi was thrown away.

When we got there, we found that the person was gone and only a pool of blood was left.

The middle-aged woman was shocked and said, "Could it be that he was eaten by a tiger?"

He looked around and immediately quickened his pace to go down the mountain.

At the gate of the county government office, Cao Kuan directly took out the prince's token. After a while, the county magistrate and his men came crawling out, and the smell of alcohol on their bodies was too strong.

One look at him and he was eating and drinking.

When the county magistrate came out, he saw Zi Shuyan kneeling on the ground.

"I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Then he buried his head on the ground and shivered.

It’s better not to make excuses in the current situation. The more you make excuses, the faster you will die.

Zi Shuyan was not surprised by the county magistrate's behavior. He had looked up the county magistrate's life before coming here.

Coming from a poor family, he became an official not for any ideal, but just to make money.

Now that he is here, his career as a county magistrate has come to an end.

Zi Shuyan turned his gaze towards Xu Jinyu to see how this girl would react when her identity was exposed.

Xu Jinyu's reaction was no reaction at all.

She already knew that this person was the prince, so when Zi Shuyan's identity was exposed, Xu Jinyu didn't react at all. She probably didn't know that Zi Shuyan was the prince, so she was at least surprised.

Seeing Xu Jinyu's reaction, Zi Shuyan was sure that this girl must have lived in a very simple environment before, otherwise she would not be so completely without vigilance.

On the other side, Xu Jinyu was lifted off the horse by Cao Kuan. He moved his thighs calmly while looking at the county magistrate who had a similarly miserable ending.

After traveling dozens of miles, Xu Jinyu's thin buttocks had become numb.

[Wow! This county magistrate is really courting death. The prince has come to provide disaster relief, but he is feasting and drinking in the county government office. He really doesn't know whether he lives or dies.]

[Or are all the county magistrates in ancient times like this? They only care about making enough money for themselves and don’t care about the lives of their subordinates.]

[Let me see what happened to the magistrate of Zhengyang County.]

Xu Jinyu simply lowered his head and started talking about the fate of this county magistrate in the system.

Ye Qing, the magistrate of Zhengyang County, was kneeling on the ground and trembling. He was thinking about how to beg for mercy so that his death would not be so tragic, when he suddenly heard a woman's voice.

He looked up in the direction of the voice: "You..."

The next moment, a knife was placed across Ye Qing's neck.

Xu Jinyu turned her head to look at the county magistrate who was staring at her with a knife at his neck.

[Why are you glaring at me? Shouldn't you beg for mercy from the prince? ]

He lowered his head again to look at the information about the county magistrate in the system.

[Wow! Oh! How miserable! The top of Ye Qing's head is like a green grassland.]

[When viewed separately, this is another cuckold article. ]
