The princess ran away again

It was Xiao Lanling and Jing Zhaoyin who came.

In Chu Zhao's eyes, Xiao Lanling was just the second son-in-law of the national scholar Wushuang, but after hearing the rumors between him and Princess Zhaoyang recently, he felt a little unhappy, and even a little bit disgusted.

Xiao Lanling reined in the reins, jumped off the horse, and asked anxiously, "Is there any whereabouts of Princess Zhaoyang?"

A playful smile appeared on the corner of Chu Zhao's lips. He glanced at Xiao Lanling meaningfully, and then said lightly, "The mountain road is steep and the cavalry is difficult to walk. How do you want to attack Fengling Village like this?"

The expression on Xiao Lanling's face froze, he probably realized his impoliteness, and he cupped his hands towards Chu Zhao, but in return there was only an arrogant snort.Knowing that Chu Zhao and others had not found the whereabouts of Princess Zhaoyang, he pushed Ge Chunsheng out, briefly talked about the things in the village, and the group dismounted and followed Ge Chunsheng who led the way.There are several paths dormant in the depths of the dense forest, and I don't know where they lead.There were rustling sounds, and from time to time, birds in the forest would be seen flying.The people from the government here are running fast, but there is a burst of laughter in the stockade at the other end.Hang up the red light, move out the old wine, just wait for the village owner to get drunk when he gets married.

Qingyi was locked in the small wooden house, guarded by more than a dozen bandits inside and out, even if she wanted to escape to find the princess, there was no way.Dong Gang, the owner of the cottage, only appeared at the very beginning, and Qingyi was lucky on the one hand, but fell into distress on the other hand.I don't know what happened to His Highness?When the little thief at the door saw her stepping out of the house, he looked tense and looked at her warily.Qingyi squeezed out a forced smile, pretending to chat with the little bandit, and waited until he relaxed his vigilance before asking about Princess Zhaoyang.

"She is in the dungeon. She eats and drinks. After all, she is a fat sheep and can be exchanged for a lot of money." Thinking of money, the little thief narrowed his eyebrows and his face was full of joy. Seeing that Qingyi was harmless, he poured out all his joy, "I've never seen that white money in my whole life of farming at home! Not to mention that the land at home has long been flooded." Flooded, fortunately I have the foresight to eat and drink with our village master, and see other people in the village will be miserable!" Speaking of this matter, the little bandit's face was both proud and sad.

Qingyi didn't know about these things outside, after listening to the little bandit, she asked back: "Will the imperial court not provide food for disaster relief?"

Hearing this, the little bandit immediately snorted coldly, and replied: "The imperial court knows what the hell, so what about food distribution, where can it get into our hands? The flood has receded a bit, but the surrounding counties People don’t want to make a living, so it’s better to be a bandit!" Seeing Qingyi stunned, the little bandit straightened up again, and said, "What do you rich and powerful people know! Corrupt officials and profiteers are working together!"

Qing Yi was stunned, and asked again: "Have you ever read?"

The little thief became even angrier when he heard this, and said with a pale face: "Fuck me, reading is useless, and what you say about the peaceful and prosperous age is all fake!"

Fengling Village was as usual, but under the leadership of Ge Chunsheng, Chu Zhao and his party moved much faster.There are more than a hundred bandits in the village, but they are all mobs after all, and they must not break up when they encounter elite soldiers?Chu Zhao had already seen the fortress of Fenglingzhai. Like Ge Chunsheng, she asked carefully where the water prison was, and planned to go there first.

"Miss Chu, this—" Although Chu Zhao already had a title, but it was not smooth to call him, Xiao Lanling still used the previous title after deliberation. "It's dangerous in the village, why don't we go together?"

"Your speed is too slow." Chu Zhao threw down a sentence. A group of bandits gather together, and they can't be expected to be respectful and polite like gentlemen. The longer the time, the greater the change.The depths of her heart were already on fire, and she couldn't wait any longer.With a movement of Chu Zhao's figure, the toes touched the branches, and he immediately rushed towards the village like a flying swallow.

Xiao Lanling was a scribe, although he knew how to ride and shoot, he was not as good as those who learned martial arts. He watched Chu Zhao disappear, and could only urge the soldiers to move forward.As for how to conquer Fenglingzhai, it depends on how Jing Zhaoyin and his party are infantry.

The people in Fengling Village have been happy for a long time, so they don't pay attention to the government. They never thought that soldiers and horses would invade the village, and they only arranged several guards to prevent the detainees from escaping.Chu Zhao followed Ge Chunsheng's route, and quickly found the small stone house, where the two thieves at the door were punching boredly.Chu Zhao hid in the dark, and secretly threw some broken silver, which happened to land on the robe of one of them, and as he stretched, the silver slid down.

"Oops!" One of the bandits yelled suddenly, quickly copied the money into his pocket with quick eyesight, and the other saw his movement and yelled, "Where did you get the money, kid? I lost it, hurry up!" Give it back to me." How can I return the bandit I got first?He insisted that it was his own, and after yelling for a while, the two began to fight, from one end to the other.Chu Zhao took advantage of this opportunity to sneak into the small stone house.

The cool wind blows from the small hole in the stone house, and the weak sunlight shines in the prison, but the darkness still cannot be dispelled.Chu Zhao saw Princess Zhaoyang sitting on the straw at a glance, and there was an empty bowl beside her.It seems that His Highness is stronger than she imagined, and can maintain calm under such circumstances.

Ning Yuyao also saw Chu Zhao, and dozens of thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant.

She is happy, but her mouth is stubborn.

"Why are you here? Did I ask you to save me?" Probably fearing that the bandits would be alarmed, her voice was extremely low.

For example, in the past, she was as brilliant as a bright pearl rising from the sea, but now Princess Zhaoyang can be described as down and out.Chu Zhao felt a slight pain in her heart. Uncharacteristically, she didn't talk back, but softened her voice and said, "I wanted to come by myself." Naturally, the lock on the prison door couldn't help Chu Zhao, so he opened it easily and walked to Ning In front of Yuyao.He looked carefully, for fear of seeing any big wounds.

"My princess is fine." Ning Yuyao waved her hand, blocking Chu Zhao's sight. She glared at Chu Zhao and said, "I won't go back to the palace with you." Naturally, she would not think that Chu Zhao came here alone. Here, I'm afraid there are still a lot of people behind.

Chu Zhao remembered what the emperor had said, and said softly, "Then don't go back to the palace."

Ning Yuyao immediately looked like she had seen a ghost, full of surprise and defense.

Chu Zhao smiled, with a somewhat helpless expression on her face. Estimating the time, Xiao Lanling and his party were about to arrive with troops. She whispered, "I'll rescue you, let's go."

Ning Yuyao frowned and didn't move, and didn't even look at Chu Zhao's outstretched hand.

Chu Zhao frowned, and whispered, "Princess?"

Ning Yuyao returned to God and said, "Where's Qing Yi?"

It turned out that he was worried about his little maid. Chu Zhao realized it, nodded and said, "Of course someone will come to rescue me." People and horses meet."

Ning Yuyao still looked doubtful: "Are you serious?"

"Really, I swear!" Chu Zhao's eyes sparkled, and he added, "First, I also want to play around, and second, I don't want to get married either." The intention, but said from Chu Zhao's mouth, was like a hammer hitting the tip of the heart, and there were waves of pain.She even wanted to shake Chu Zhao's shoulder and ask, "Is this princess so unbearable? Why don't you want to marry?"

When Chu Zhao took Ning Yuyao out of Fengling Village, he heard screams.

Arrows rained down.

Ning Yuyao shook off Chu Zhao's hand, frowned and looked at Fengling Village: "But Qingyi is still in the village."

Chu Zhao responded, "Of course I won't hurt her."

Ning Yuyao gave Chu Zhao a sideways look, and replied, "I'm not worried about this." She wanted to take Qingyi to the south together.Even if she was rescued, if this incident happened, Qingyi would probably be convicted by her father, queen and queen when she returned to the palace.Ning Yuyao didn't want people around her to have accidents because of her recklessness.

"If you take Miss Qingyi with you, will she agree with the princess to continue traveling?" Chu Zhao asked back, seeing that Ning Yuyao's brows were still frowning, she continued, "Both the Holy One and the Empress are sensible people, this matter is wrong. If Miss Qingyi is not here, she will be executed for this matter, she has served you for so many years, and ten heads may not be enough to chop off."

When Ning Yuyao heard Chu Zhao's words, she immediately lowered her face and asked angrily, "Chu Zhao, what do you mean?"

Chu Zhao turned around and snickered for a while, then shrugged and said, "I didn't say anything."

In Fengling Village, the fire was burning, and the little bandits who were running around were still in a panic. Seeing the corpses all over the ground, they were frightened, so when the people in the government put away their bows and arrows and wanted them to be captured without a fight, they immediately gave up resisted.There is still a chance of being sent to prison, but if you resist in the corner, you will definitely die.The leader of the cottage, Dong Gang, relied on his courage and held a pair of hammers to fight back. However, when he encountered the hidden guards, he had no strength to fight back.Xu did not capture Dong Gang alive in order to frighten those bandits, but directly killed him.

"How is it? Is there any whereabouts of the princess?" Xiao Lanling looked at the burning cottage and asked with a sullen face.

The little guard who went to find someone shook his head, full of panic.

Xiao Lanling asked again: "What about Miss Chu?"

The little guard still shook his head.

Xiao Lanling frowned, thinking that something happened to both of them, and immediately shouted: "Keep looking."

"Wait!" Li Mengyang, who was with them, asked, "Is there any mark on the stone wall?"

The little guard thought for a while and said, "There is a sword hole."

Li Mengyang nodded, with a faint smile on his face, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "There is no need to look for it anymore, the Marquis of Yunyang left a message before, saying that if there is a sword hole in the wall, it means that she and the princess are safe. I'm afraid he's gone elsewhere."

Xiao Lanling's face darkened, and he looked into the distance, his eyes as calm as ancient well water could not see any emotion.
