Chang Shenhui opened the door eagerly and walked towards Yongjia with a worried look on his face.
"Princess, the civilians came late to save you, which made the princess suffer."
As soon as Chang Shenhui finished speaking, the scarred man roared angrily: "Where is the other little bitch tied here?!"
Chang Shenhui turned his head suddenly and heard someone screaming from behind.
"Your aunt and I are here."
As a cold voice came over, the scarred man felt an icy cold air coming from behind him. He reacted very quickly and turned around to avoid the blow from behind.
Song Jiuxi missed the target and did not stop at all. He kicked his feet on the door frame and landed in front of Yongjia.
Chang Shenhui was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately came to his senses. He said with serious eyes: "Mrs. Yan."
Song Jiuxi held the knife in her hand and slashed it back, cutting off the rope on Yongjia's body.
Yongjia stood up and rubbed her wrists, which were already stiff and numb from being tied up. She stood behind Song Jiuxi and looked at Chang Shenhui with a cold face.
Chang Shenhui hurriedly said: "It's good that the princess is fine, so I feel relieved."
Yongjia asked: "Are you with them?"
"The princess misunderstood." Chang Shenhui's expression had returned to calmness and he explained, "I have persuaded them to let the princess go back."
After saying that, he smiled at Song Jiuxi: "Even if Mrs. Yan doesn't come, I will still come to take the princess back."
Song Jiuxi asked with cold eyes: "How come you are with them and they don't make things difficult for you?"
Chang Shenhui said: "They were forced to come to this point with no other choice. I have promised to redress their grievances, and the condition is that they release Her Royal Highness."
"Really?" Song Jiuxi looked at Scar Man and Xu Xu behind Chang Shenhui.
Xu Xu's expression was normal, but the scarred man stared at Song Jiuxi with a sullen face.
The man with the scar said sadly: "Mr. Chang, we believe you, but we don't know where this little girl went just now. If she calls people from the court, you take the princess away again... So who of you are now?"
You can’t even leave!”
Chang Shenhui frowned. He glanced at Song Jiuxi and said to the scarred man: "If you hold on to the princess, the court will not let you go."
The scarred man said: "We can feel at ease when the princess is in our hands."
Chang Shenhui was anxious: "You have committed a serious crime of treason by kidnapping the princess. If you don't want to die, let the princess go. Xu Xu, I have promised you to help you write a petition to redress your grievances, and I will definitely give you justice."
.But if the princess is harmed, your grievances will never be redressed."
Xu Xu frowned. Compared to the scarred man, he looked like a scholar. He said: "I believe in Mr. Chang. Mr. Chang is known as Mr. Duanfang. He also comes from the Qingliu Chang family. I believe in Mr. Chang's character."
.”
The scarred man looked at Xu Xu, then at Chang Shenhui, and finally at Song Jiuxi: "The princess can leave, but this little girl must stay."
Yongjia said coldly: "Let's go together."
"Princess," Chang Shenhui frowned and whispered, "They will not harm Mrs. Yan. They will send someone to rescue us when we get out..."
"If Mr. Chang is afraid of death, then go alone." Yongjia gave him a cold look.
Chang Shenhui's face was ugly, so gloomy that he could even shed tears.
Hearing what Yongjia said, Scar Man smiled sadly: "Then Mr. Chang, please go back and plead our grievances. As long as Mr. Chang does what he says, we will definitely not harm the princess."
"This is not possible." Chang Shenhui said, "You are detaining the princess, which is a serious crime of turning around. As long as you release the princess in time, I can intercede for you from the Holy One..."
Chang Shenhui argued hard and stood in front of Yongjia.
If Song Jiuxi had not gone out just now, Chang Shenhui would have successfully taken the princess out. Then when they return to the capital, Chang Shenhui will undoubtedly gain great appreciation and great reputation.
With his own efforts, the scholar persuaded two thousand bandits to surrender without a fight and rescued the princess safely.
I don’t know what kind of deal Chang Shenhui made with them, but they actually trusted him.
Song Jiuxi was thinking about this when suddenly there was a commotion outside.
"What's going on?" The pirate man turned around and yelled angrily.
A big man ran towards here and shouted: "Boss, there is an attack..."
Before he could finish speaking, a sharp arrow pierced his head and pinned him to the ground.
Everyone was stunned. The man with the scar was the first to react and turned around to glare at Song Jiuxi. "You must have lured the court people here. In this case, none of you can even think of leaving."
Chang Shenhui didn't like it at first sight. If a fight broke out, his previous persuasion would be in vain.
The scarred man stretched out his hand to grab Song Jiuxi and said angrily: "Catch them all, I can't let anyone go."
The people behind him also rushed toward Song Jiuxi and Yongjia. Song Jiuxi only had a snatched long knife in her hand, and her left shoulder was injured and she couldn't use it at all. She could only hold the long knife with one hand and follow Scar.
The man started fighting.
Others came to arrest Yongjia. Yongjia bent down and grabbed cattails on the ground and threw them on the bandits.
Suddenly, cattail grass flew wildly in the thatched house, attracting everyone's attention. The man with the scar was too strong and struck Song Jiuxi's sideways blade with his knife, causing Song Jiuxi's entire arm to go numb.
She gritted her teeth, stepped back, and immediately flew into the air to slash at the scarred man.
The man with the scar swung his knife wide open and closed. The knife that Song Jiuxi was cutting suddenly changed direction and slid out from his side. The red figure also clung to the blade like a piece of paper and slipped away like a fish.
.
"Hurry up and chase them! Don't let them escape!" The scarred man was furious.
Song Jiuxi grabbed Yongjia's arm and pulled him out.
Yongjia knew that the situation was urgent at this time, so she didn't speak the whole time and was carried away by Song Jiuxi. Only then did she regret it. In the past, she could not endure the hardship of practicing martial arts because she had guards to protect her. Now, in the thin line between life and death, she can only rely on Song Jiuxi.
Come and save her.
And if it wasn't for saving her, Song Jiuxi would have left by himself long ago with his martial arts skills.
Song Jiuxi ran to the back mountain, and all the bandits started running. Someone seemed to be attacking from outside. Song Jiuxi didn't know who the people were, and she couldn't let Song Ruoyu and the others stay here.
Once she and the princess escape and Song Ruoyu and the others are left behind, these bandits will definitely kill them.
Song Jiuxi led Yongjia all the way to the cave in the back mountain. She killed the people who stood in front of her with one knife, and then let Princess Yongjia enter the cave.
And she was blocking the entrance of the cave.
Yongjia looked at her back with red eyes.
She gritted her teeth and turned away, ran towards Song Ruoyu and the others, and untied their bodies.
Song Jiuxi turned her wrist. As expected, she didn't like using a knife. The knife was too bulky for her, and she didn't know how to use it, so it was awkward to use it.
It would be nice if she had a sword in her hand, or Que Yun in her hand.
But these can only be thought about, because the scarred man led a group of people to chase him to the cave.
Scar Man is very smart. He knows that if people from the imperial court are coming to surround them, then his two thousand people will not be able to stop them. But as long as the princess is in his hands, people outside will not dare to act rashly.
So he must capture the princess here.
The scarred man looked at Song Jiuxi who was standing in front of him, murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
"Kill her." As long as the princess lives, that's all.
Dozens of big men pounced on Song Jiuxi. Song Jiuxi slashed with a knife, and kicked a person on the head with both feet, sending the person flying away.
But within a quarter of an hour, Song Jiuxi was exhausted.
She had lost too much blood, and she could no longer hold on after fighting until now.
Her hand holding the knife trembled, and with a little effort, the knife stuck straight into the ground, and she knelt down.
"Come up." Someone shouted when they saw this, and everyone rushed forward.
Song Jiuxi's heart sank, and suddenly a cold light lit up in front of his eyes, piercing the night sky, like a white rainbow rising into the sky, and slashing down diagonally.
Most of the bandits in front of him fell down. Amidst countless wailing sounds, a figure fell from the sky. Behind him was a sudden fire, which illuminated half of the sky.
He seemed to be coming from the fire and rushed to Song Jiuxi.
The man grabbed Song Jiuxi's waist, took him into his arms, and then swept him out with a sword light.
He didn't look back, but he struck out ruthlessly, leaving almost no one alive.
But the hand clasped around Song Jiuxi's waist was just right, strong yet gentle.
