This villain has become a ghost

After saying that, he actually leaned his neck forward actively and decisively. If Liu Zeyin had not reacted quickly and retracted the sword in time, he would have cut his throat and blood would have splattered on the spot.

……madman.

madman.

Liu Zeyin stared at his sword solemnly, staring at him with gritted teeth, and suddenly felt a little dazed.

...It was as if the person in front of him was not him, but the girl who was in tattered clothes and had hatred in her eyes in the dark night.

Has she... also become like this?

Or, even better.

After a long while, he finally came to his senses and slowly put away his sword.

...He had promised her a long time ago that he would go crazy with her.

Liu Zeyin turned around, glanced at Zhou Ji sideways, and said lightly:

"Go away and do your work. Don't be an eyesore in front of me."

Quanzhou.

mountain road.

The horse's hooves stepped on the mud. In order to let Qiu Shuangwan survive peacefully, Nangong Wanqing deliberately slowed down the speed and rode steadily.

The jungle at the foot of the mountain gradually becomes dense, and the air becomes fresh after the rain. Following the normal route, you will reach Quanzhou after passing through this jungle.

Qiu Shuangwan was in good condition, but she still felt like she was in a dream. She wondered:

"Sister, are we being let go so easily?"

…and even received a horse as a giveaway.

"What else?" Nangong Wanqing said, carefully identifying the direction. "...Anyway, the bandit leader has his eyes on Xiao Liuyun, so we can just say goodbye."

All we can say is that Yue Liuyun was tricked by Liu Zeyin, allowing the bandit leader to know her identity and want to use her.

One of them is the virtuous concubine and the other is the eldest princess. If their identities are known, they will still not be able to leave.

Fortunately, he didn't know about it, which allowed Yue Liuyun to propose conditions and release the two of them.

This is the importance of information asymmetry.

Qiu Shuangwan said worriedly, "...Alas, she's already gone into a bandit's den all by herself. Will anything happen to her?"

"From what I know about her, she should have already thought of a countermeasure," Nangong Wanqing said seriously, "...You should be worried that nothing will happen to the bandit leader."

Qiu Shuangwan was speechless and had nothing to say.

"So where are we going now?" Qiu Shuangwan asked again, "Are we going to Quanzhou?"

Nangong Wanqing pulled out her hand and hit him on the head, saying speechlessly:

"How is that possible? Are you stupid? Quanzhou is in such a bad situation right now, people are already cannibalizing each other. If we go to Quanzhou again, wouldn't we be walking into a tiger's mouth?"

Nangong Wanqing never treated him as a woman, and she didn't hold back at all when she hit him, causing him so much pain that he began to question his life.

Qiu Shuangwan covered the bulge on her head and said aggrievedly:

"What should I do?"

Nangong Wanqing gripped the reins tightly, and the horse jumped over a small puddle of mud, changed direction, and gradually increased its speed.

She said solemnly, "...The army led by Xia Ruozhi and Chu Shiqing should be almost in Quanzhou. Let's go and join them."

-

Surrounded by mountains and with a dangerous terrain, the camp was built on the mountain and hidden in the dense woods, making it difficult to be discovered by the outside world.

The entrance was a massive wooden gate studded with rusty iron nails, and on either side of the gate stood a watchtower, each manned by vigilant bandit sentries.

Yue Liuyun rode a horse alone and finally arrived here. He held the horse's reins tightly, seeming to be still frightened and his face was pale.

The young man stared at her with interest and said with a smile:

"...You're such a funny person! You refused to ride the same horse as me. If the horse hadn't just lost control, I wouldn't have guessed...that you don't know how to ride a horse at all."

Yue Liuyun coughed lightly and said stubbornly:

"Hasn't this already been learned?"

It’s the same as learning to ride a bike, you’ll get it just by falling a few times.

...Sometimes if you don't push yourself, you don't realize that you still have the ability to mess things up.

It was impossible for her to ride the same horse with him; that would be too ambiguous.

This is not a question of conservative modern people and open ancient people, but a physiological resistance to close contact with a strange man.

The young man didn't argue with her, chuckled, and led the way into the camp.

The bearded man and a man as big and strong as him were riding on the same horse, staring at her with resentful eyes.

Yue Liuyun could no longer bear it, turned around and raised an eyebrow and asked: "...I say, big brother, you have been staring at me all the way."

The bearded man said quietly, "My horse is gone!"

Yue Liuyun said, "Is it that serious? Your boss has already said that we'll add an extra horse meat dish to the meal today."

The bearded man said, "...then my horse is gone!"

Yue Liuyun pointed at the two men riding the same horse on the other side and started to criticize him, saying, "...Look at that man. He voluntarily donated his horse to my companion. Can you please learn from him and be more generous?"

The resentment in the bearded man's eyes remained undiminished, and he said sadly, "...but my horse is gone!"

Yue Liuyun: “…”

If the horse is gone, it doesn’t mean you are gone.

If I had known that, I wouldn’t have hit your horse. If I had hit you, you would have been obedient!

Yue Liuyun rolled her eyes and ignored him. As soon as she turned around, she met the young man's smiling eyes.

He said, "Let's go."

"Oh, let's go." Yue Liuyun nodded and followed him.

The camp is surrounded by lush trees and seems isolated from the outside world.

However, the scene before him made Yue Liuyun stunned and he stood there.

The center of the camp was flat and spacious, with neatly arranged wooden houses. Between the houses, winding paths crisscrossed, leading to every corner. A large area of land nearby had been cultivated into farmland.

In the fields, farmers are busy, wearing coarse clothes and bamboo hats, bending over to work, holding plowshares, hoes, and baskets filled with seeds in their hands.

Yue Liuyun suspected that he had eaten mushrooms.

Or it was opened in the wrong way.

"The land is flat and spacious, with neat houses, fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry trees and bamboos. Paths connect the fields, and the sounds of chickens and dogs can be heard..."

Is this really a bandit's den, rather than a paradise?

The young man dismounted first, and held Yue Liuyun across with his broad, slender palm, as if to help her off the horse.

"Well, thank you, I can do it myself." Yue Liuyun was a little dazed, and immediately turned over and got off the horse, looking around.

The young man looked calm and withdrew his hand with a smile.

The bandits dismounted, and a groom came over to lead the horses back to the stables. After placing their weapons in the designated weapons room, they dispersed to their own quarters, as relaxed as if they were returning home, and said goodbye to the young man one after another.

"...Boss, let's go."

"...Goodbye, Boss."

"...Boss, I'm going back first. Remember to call us if you need anything."

The young man nodded to them one by one.
