The prince is very cruel

She trembled with fear, but also enjoyed the feeling of freedom and comfort.

"Are you comfortable?" Guan Ning shouted.

"Comfortable!" Tang Xiang'er trembled.

"Hahaha, gee, gee!"

"Hehehe..." Tang Xiang'er also let out a crisp laugh, as if she had never been so happy.

"..."

An hour later, the white horse officially rushed out of the Three Thousand Mountains and arrived at a village nestled in the mountains and beside the water.

There are some chickens and ducks raised in the fenced yard here, and some salted fish are drying on bamboo poles. It is full of the atmosphere of life. A little girl with pigtails poked her head out and asked timidly.

"Who are you looking for?"

"What a cute girl." Tang Xiang'er smiled and walked up to her and touched her head.

Guan Ning also doted on him, "Little friend, where are the adults at home?"

"I want to ask for directions."

As he said this, he handed the wild fruits he had not eaten yet to the little girl.

Seeing this, the little girl hid behind the door, not daring to take it. Instead, she shouted inside, "Daddy."

"Father!"

Soon, footsteps were heard and a middle-aged man ran out. He was a little surprised when he saw Guan Ning and Tang Xiang'er.

"You are?"

"Brother, don't be afraid. We are not bad people. We just got lost and wanted to ask how to get to Zizhou." Guan Ning smiled and took a step back.

The middle-aged man's doubts were dispelled, and he said, "Sir, this place is not far from Zizhou. We are under the jurisdiction of Zizhou."

"You'll arrive after you climb over Mawei Mountain in front." He pointed.

“This is the only way.”

Hearing this, Guan Ning nodded: "Thank you."

"I wonder if Big Brother could be so kind as to allow my wife and I to have some water to drink."

Hearing this, Tang Xiang'er's face flushed. Although she knew it was just a cover-up, she couldn't help but feel happy for a long time.

"Okay, no problem. Come in then." The middle-aged man seemed to know that the two were not bad people, so he warmly invited them into the house.

Guan Ning saw that this place was peaceful and even wanted warrants could not be issued here, so he did not take any precautions and followed him into the house.

After entering, the middle-aged man took the little girl away under the pretext of boiling water.

Guan Ning sat on a wooden bench in the yard.

"We are just one step away from reaching Zizhou City. Once we get there, our escape will be better and you won't have to suffer anymore." He said with a smile.

Tang Xiang'er pursed her lips and said, "Brother Guan, as long as I can be with you, I am not afraid of hardship."

Guan Ning's heart skipped a beat, and he could see the love between a man and a woman from her evasive eyes.

He is not stupid, he had sensed it along the way.

But now I am on the run.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt helpless and unable to bear it.

"Your words are enough."

"Brother Guan will definitely protect you."

Tang Xianger nodded heavily: "Yeah."

"Brother Guan, please wipe it." She took out a clean handkerchief. She was a woman who loved cleanliness very much. When she was in the mountains, she would wash her handkerchief as long as there was water.

Guan Ning took it, wiped it casually, and then looked at the surrounding villages.

"There's smoke from cooking, but not many people."

"Why don't they come out?"

Tang Xianger frowned slightly: "Maybe there are only women at home, and the men are out doing farm work."

Guan Ning nodded without thinking much about it.

In this way, the two waited in the yard for two cups of tea, but the middle-aged man and the little girl never appeared again.

In addition, the surroundings were too quiet. Although it was a village, it was not so quiet. There was no one working even in the paddy fields. Guan Ning felt a little uneasy.

With a jerk, he stood up.

"Something's not right, let's not wait any longer!"

"No, I don't want to wait anymore?" Tang Xiang'er was still confused when Guan Ning pulled her away.

But as soon as I walked out of the fence, suddenly!

Wow!

Bang bang bang... Suddenly, something unexpected happened. The sound of horse hooves rang out at the entrance of the village. The dark mass of cavalry was so oppressive that the ground they stepped on was shaking.

In an instant, Guan Ning's head exploded!

not good!

"Let's go!" he yelled, reacting extremely quickly, grabbing Tang Xiang'er and running in the opposite direction.
