Divorce the bad husband, store grain fields, and marry the emperor's uncle for the second time

Suo Xiu looked at her with narrowed eyes, "Do you like these paintings?"

Xia Xiaorou sighed, "Where I used to live, there were also paintings like this, and my brother could also draw them."

Suo Xiu said, "I will take you away tomorrow morning."

"where to?"

"You don't need to ask where I'm going. In short, you just need to follow me closely. If you run around and get caught by Fourth Miss Wen or other people in the village, I won't be able to save you. If you fall into their hands, you'll be sent to Beiliang."

Xia Xiaorou understood the meaning behind his words.

He didn't want to send her to Beiliang.

-

Xia Xiaorou was arranged by Suo Xiu to live in his own courtyard.

Because she was worried about how things would develop next, Xia Xiaorou woke up at dawn the next day.

After simply tidying herself up, Xia Xiaorou came to the main room next door and found that Suo Xiu had already gotten up and was talking to the attendant who had delivered the meal yesterday.

The follower glanced at Xia Xiaorou, nodded, and left.

Soon, breakfast was served.

A bowl of sorghum and mutton porridge, plus a baked pancake.

Xia Xiaorou was not picky about food and ate it all.

Suo Xiu watched her eat, his brows gradually furrowed.

"Young master, the village chief asks if you are ready." Someone asked loudly at the gate.

"Okay." Suo Xiu stood up and grabbed the hanging knife.

Xia Xiaorou rinsed her mouth with the tea bowl and stood up.

"Follow me closely and don't ask anything you see," Suo Xiu said again.

Thinking that Suo Xiu had not abused her since she came here, Xia Xiaorou nodded, "Okay."

She pulled her cloak tightly around her and followed Suo Xiu out of the courtyard gate.

The messenger glanced at Xia Xiaorou with a puzzled look, but didn't ask anything.

Xia Xiaorou followed Suo Xiu to the front yard of the manor.

When she arrived last night, it was already dark and she couldn't see the surroundings clearly. Now it was bright and Xia Xiaorou could see the people and houses here clearly.

These northerners are all tall and strong, much stronger than southerners.

I don’t know if Yan Heng and his men have such strong soldiers.

A short man in his fifties walked out of the main house.

He was dressed in black, like a black bear.

Wen Xiashu, dressed in white fur, followed this man proudly. When she saw Xia Xiaorou, she gave him a provocative look.

The people standing in front of the house all walked towards the door and saluted the man together, "Village Master!"

Suo Wuhai glanced at Xia Xiaorou and nodded to Suo Xiu, "Let's go!"

Suo Xiu ordered someone to find a horse and let Xia Xiaorou ride it and follow beside him.

When she arrived outside the village gate, Xia Xiaorou saw a large group of men on horseback, all of them strong and capable, standing quietly on both sides of the village gate.

There are about several hundred people.

Hundreds of people dared to kidnap Yan Heng. Are they brave or do they have other plans?

Xia Xiaorou looked at those people quietly.

"Let's go!" Souhai waved to everyone, and the horses galloped and whistled past.

"Follow closely." Suo Xiu nodded to Xia Xiaorou and rode his horse to catch up.

Xia Xiaorou waved the whip and followed.

While walking, Wen Xiashu brought people to Xia Xiaorou several times, and the purpose was self-evident.

Suo Xiu glanced at her coldly and immediately protected Xia Xiaorou by his side.

Wen Xiashu couldn't succeed and was so angry that she gnashed her teeth.

When the team reached a valley, they suddenly split into several groups and scattered to hide.

Xia Xiaorou took a look at their formation and followed Suo Xiu to hide behind the rocks.

I don’t know how long I waited, but Xia Xiaorou’s feet felt like they were frozen. Gradually, I heard a sound coming from the front.

Someone came running over and said to Suo Xiu, "Young Master, the fish has taken the bait."

"Prepare!"

"Yes!"

Xia Xiaorou became nervous and stared at the valley without blinking.

Soon, the sound of horse hooves became louder and louder, and a large group of people entered the valley.

Xia Xiaorou recognized the flag and her heart sank. These were Yan Heng's men.

"Whizzing--"

Suddenly, several arrows flew into the crowd.

But Yan Heng's men seemed to be prepared and raised their shields in unison.

When Suo Wuhai's men were preparing to shoot arrows for the second time, Yan Heng's men rode their horses and rushed towards the pass in the valley.

The two groups of people fought each other.

Suo Xiu waved to the four people around him, "Just keep an eye on her, I'll be back soon."

After saying that, he rode his horse towards the crowd.

The four followers immediately surrounded Xia Xiaorou.

But after a while, Wen Xiashu came on horseback, "Chief of the Village, please go over, and leave this woman to me."

The four people were indifferent, "Without the young master's order, we are not going anywhere!"

"Don't you listen to the village leader's words?" Wen Xiashu sneered.

"We are the young master's people!"

"You want to rebel? Come on, capture these four people for me!" Wen Xiashu shouted to the dozen people behind her.

A group of people drew their swords and rushed towards Xia Xiaorou.

The four men immediately drew their swords and protected Xia Xiaorou.

In the chaos, Wen Xiashu narrowed her eyes and raised her knife to chop at Xia Xiaorou.

Xia Xiaorou sneered, the Wen family really wanted her dead.

She pulled out a scimitar that Suo Xiu had asked her to prepare secretly from the pocket on the back of the knife, and met Wen Xiashu's knife.

But Wen Xiashu suddenly screamed and rolled off the horse.

Xia Xiaorou looked carefully and found that Wen Xiashu was hit by an arrow in the shoulder.

"Xiao Rou!" A man who looked like a soldier came to Xia Xiaorou on horseback.

Xia Xiaorou opened her eyes wide, "You...why is it you?"

Yan Heng raised her lips slightly, "Why not me?"

Yan Heng picked up Xia Xiaorou and placed her in front of his horse. He shook the whip and said to the four followers, "Thank you, Master Suo, for taking care of the princess for me. I will give him a big gift later!"

After saying that, he drove away with Xia Xiaorou.

The four men stopped fighting and chased after Yan Heng together.

Wen Xiashu's men also followed and she struggled to get up from the ground, but was held down by several people again. "The fourth Miss Wen has been caught! Master Tian Zhen!"

"take away!"

"Yes!"

Wen Xiashu took a deep breath. Naive?

From Yan Heng?

But why are the people in front of me all dressed like people from the village?

What on earth happened?

-

Xia Xiaorou was brought by Yan Heng to a secluded hillside, where there were Chu Xianyun, He Ying, Renyi and Zhongcheng.

"The princess is back? That's great." He Ying went over to her excitedly.

Chu Xianyun looked guilty, "Xiaorou, are you okay?"

Xia Xiaorou shook her head, "I'm fine."

Yan Heng put Xia Xiaorou on the ground and said, "Xiaorou, I'm going to take care of some things and will be back soon." He then ordered Renyi and Zhongcheng to protect Xia Xiaorou, and he rode away quickly.

"Be careful!" Xia Xiaorou shouted at his back.

Yan Heng turned around, waved at her, and rushed into the fight ahead.

-

In order to see the battle ahead clearly, Xia Xiaorou climbed up the slope.

The fight between the two sides did not last long, and it was over by noon.

Yan Heng and Suo Xiu rode side by side to the hillside.

Xia Xiaorou was very surprised when she saw them coming back together. "You... know each other?"

Because, when she saw Yan Heng and Suo Xiu talking, their expressions were not wary or serious, but relaxed.

Yan Heng smiled slightly, "Of course I know him. Young Master Suo has only known me for a month, but I knew him a year ago."

"What happened today is our cooperation," said Suo Xiu.

Xia Xiaorou was confused. "What's going on? How do you know each other?"

"Because he is your elder brother." Yan Heng said.
