"You've come just in time. Everything else here will be left to you."
Before Mr. Zhang finished speaking, he was rudely interrupted by the man in front of him.
He was stunned for a moment, and then quickly responded: "General, take the order! Don't worry, Your Majesty, the general will definitely arrange these hostages..."
While speaking, Mr. Zhang only saw a black hem of clothes swaying in front of him, and the prince had already walked away from him.
Inexplicably, he breathed a sigh of relief. This prince has a good reputation. If it is not necessary, he is really not that easy to deal with... Huh? Why did you stop and not leave?
Confused in his heart, he couldn't help but look up and saw a fat little fat man stopping a tall and strange palace guard to say something:
"...gone, really gone! Even if I beg you, go find her quickly. I saw Miss Bai being locked up alone with my own eyes, but I didn't find her just now..."
I don't know why, even though the fat man didn't say "bai", Xiao Yinhan already had an intuition in his heart - Bai Muzhi must be her.
After all, she is always like this in her dreams...
"What's going on?" Finally, he walked over.
When the guard saw his prince coming, he quickly explained: "Go back to your prince, let's let the kidnapped hostage come down the mountain. This person refuses to leave no matter what, unless there is a young lady who has not been found."
"Wang, your lord..."
The fair and fat young man was startled by Xiao Yinhan's identity at first, but he quickly calmed down: "I have met the king, the prince, the common man's surname is Hu, his name is Hu Yuan'an, and his family is in business. I am a
My friend is missing. Please save her. If I can find her, I will definitely prepare a large reward..."
"Presumptuous! Do you know who you are talking to?"
The guard scolded him sternly. He dared to use money to insult the prince. Do you believe he will be beheaded?
Hu Yuanan also came to his senses, with a cold sweat on his back. He was born in a merchant family and has been accustomed to using money to solve problems since he was a child: "The prince atones for his sins, and the common people are just in a hurry, and they never deliberately humiliate the prince..."
"If it was intentional, you should die!" As he spoke, the guard pulled out his long knife. Hu Yuanan was so frightened that he almost wrapped his head and begged for mercy. The trembling look was not fake.
Xiao Yinhan waved his hand to interrupt the arrogant guard, and glanced at the clothes on the other side. They were indeed paid by rich people. They were all made of silk and satin. With this white and fat look, they would be taken advantage of by the bandits.
It is normal for sheep to be kidnapped.
"What's the name of the friend you're talking about?"
Hu Yuanan's eyes brightened, and he couldn't hold back his excitement: "Back to the prince, my friend's surname is Bai, and his name is Bai Muzhi!"
Xiao Yinhan's handsome eyebrows were furrowed. He didn't have any reaction yet. The fierce guard was stunned for a moment: "Miss Bai? Why didn't you tell me earlier!"
-
"Who do you think wants to see me?"
"Back to Madam, it's His Highness the Seventh Prince, who asked to see Madam."
Jiang Tang was lying in the room. When he heard the housekeeper's flattering voice, he chuckled. His face was radiant, and the room seemed to light up.
Just as the housekeeper was about to say that he would invite someone in, he heard her say: "No."
"Uh..." The butler hesitated for a moment, his expression a little dazed.
I originally thought that the master was arrogant enough, but I didn’t expect that the lady would be so...
"Why, can't it be done?"
The girl's smart eyes glanced casually, but the housekeeper seemed to be instantly blown by the cold wind into his collar, and his mind suddenly came to his senses: "No, no, madam said she couldn't see her, so the young man went to report it immediately."
Jiang Tang nodded and said nothing more.
The butler retreated from his interest. Anyway, he has learned to be smart. The lady is the biggest in the house. Even the master only listens to the lady. If she says not to see her, then of course she will not see her.
But when he thought that he had to reject the noble prince again, the housekeeper felt a little complicated for a while.
Who would have thought that he, a mere slave, would reject a prince several times... It's really unpredictable, and it's even a bit exciting.
[Hey~ The male supporting actor wants to see the host at this time, he is obviously uneasy and has good intentions. The host is right not to see him. 】
As soon as the person frowned, the system jumped out.
Jiang Tang ignored his words and asked, "What is Xiao Yinhan doing now?"
After a soft and touching question, the system went silent for an instant, as if it had never happened.
Jiang Tang: "Speak."
The system said coquettishly: [...Go and save the heroine.]
Jiang Tang: Ha.
To be precise, Xiao Yinhan followed the map to find the heroine.
While he was talking to Hu Yuan'an, an arrow suddenly shot through the air and went straight to his chest with great force. If he hadn't dodged in time, he would have been the one lying on the ground at this moment.
The guards around him were immediately alert and went to look for the assassin who was shooting the arrow. However, he saw a letter stuck in the arrow shaft that had been chopped off at the waist.
Xiao Yinhan's already stern expression darkened completely after he saw the pattern on the letter: "You guys, take some people with you and follow me!"
Zhang Zongbing originally wanted to follow him to help, but the prince refused and asked him to just take care of things here.
The one who feels more uncomfortable is Fatty, his Miss Bai, the girl of his dreams, can you save me, my lord?
According to the map, Xiao Yinhan rode his horse all the way south, and then saw a lonely courtyard on the deer at the end of the woods.
The green walls and white tiles are somewhat incompatible with the desolate scenery around it.
At first, he didn't really plan to come here in person. If he hadn't seen the flower drawn on the map...
"Frost Flower".
Whenever it comes to it, he will be reminded of...
"Your Majesty, please ask your subordinates to open the door."
Standing at the unsecured entrance of the courtyard, the guard beside him said with a guarded face, reaching out to block Xiao Yinhan behind him, so that if there was any ambush inside, he could protect his master as soon as possible.
"No, I'll do it myself."
After saying this, he kicked the door open, which was not closed tightly, and bounced off the wall with a loud sound.
Such a sound did not disturb the woman who was pouring tea next to the stone table in the courtyard, but it startled the girl in white standing next to the woman.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The moment he saw a familiar figure walking in, Bai Muzhi seemed to hear his own intense heartbeat that was about to jump out of his chest.
"You're really here."
Bai Muzhi subconsciously took two steps towards him, but suddenly thought of something, stopped suddenly, and only looked at Xiao Yinhan with a complicated look.
Xiao Yinhan didn't seem to notice it, and his sharp eyes were fixed on the woman who was calmly pouring tea.
"I thought you were dead a long time ago. I didn't expect that not only were you alive, you would dare to appear in front of me again."
As he spoke, he stopped the guards from following him and stepped into the dangerous and unknown courtyard alone.
To be honest, when he saw the woman - concubine Fang, Xiao Yinhan found that he was not that surprised. After all, he had known since he was a child that this concubine was not a simple woman. She was a woman that even his father and emperor were afraid of.
On the contrary, it was strange that he died so easily at that time.
Concubine Fang put down the tea cup: "You are still alive, how could I die? And I know you will definitely come."
Hearing this, Bai Muzhi's eyelashes trembled at the side, thinking of what this woman had said to her before she came:
"Jiang Tang was not supposed to exist in this world. Without her, you and Prince Rong would be a perfect match. She is the one who is sorry for you."
"Ha," Xiao Yinhan just sneered, not intending to waste too much time with this woman: "Come here!"
"Aren't you curious about why I met you?"
Fangbi opened her mouth just in time to interrupt Xiao Yinhan's call for the guards.
He paused: "For what?"
The woman smiled: "Of course it's for the woman you love. Have you never doubted why she appears next to you?"
The smile on Concubine Fang's face was peaceful, but her heart was not as clear and calm as she appeared.
She didn't expect Jiang Tang to do such a good job. Almost everything she had planned was interrupted by her. Such a natural flood should have been the best opportunity to beat Xiao Yinhan to death, but she was forced to do it.
Turning things around turned into a reward and gratitude to him. Nowadays, there is a King Rong who works hard for the people in Huai'an Prefecture. The people who were saved by him can't wait to build monuments and temples for him.
Hearing Concubine Fang mention Tangtang, Xiao Yinhan's eyes flashed with a stern look, but he did not continue to ask as she wished. He just said coldly: "If it's such nonsense, you can shut up. What kind of person is she?"
It's important, as long as I know she is mine."
The implication is that no matter who Jiang Tang is, he doesn't care, so that Concubine Fang doesn't have to waste time sowing discord.
Fang Bin had already seen Jiang Tang's ability to "confuse people's minds", so she was not surprised by Xiao Yinhan's attitude.
On the contrary, Bai Muzhi frowned slightly when she heard this. She really hated Xiao Yinhan's behavior.
"Really? What about your own life experience?" Fang Bi looked at the man's unruly eyes and spoke word by word: "Don't you want to know why you were born?"
Xiao Yin's face turned cold, and a pair of sharp eyes like a falcon suddenly shot at the woman in front of him, as if he wanted to pierce her...
-
"He's back, the master is back!"
The housekeeper had known early in the morning that his master had led troops to suppress the bandits. Now that he saw him coming back, he knew that the matter was settled.
Xiao Yichen, who had been waiting in the hall and refused to leave, stood up immediately when he heard this.
"Fourth brother, please come back..."
His voice suddenly paused, and his eyes swept over the slender and embarrassed figure beside the man, and he could no longer look away in an instant.
"Bai...Miss Bai is back too, are you okay?"
The young man's eyes were too focused and serious, and anyone could see that he cared about the woman.
Seeing him, Bai Muzhi, who had been a little unhappy along the way, finally cheered up: "Your Majesty, Seventh Prince, why are you here?"
"I am……"
"Where's Madam?"
A cold male voice from the side interrupted the conversation between the two of them, and they looked over at the same time.
"Sir, my wife is taking a lunch break." The housekeeper replied respectfully immediately.
"Um."
Xiao Yinhan didn't waste any time. When he learned that Tangtang was resting, he immediately left everyone behind and wanted to see her.
Even when the housekeeper wanted to ask someone to wake up the lady in advance, he directly interrupted: "No, I will go there myself."
Xiao Yichen came back to his senses and wanted to stay with him and ask about the situation at that time. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by the expressionless guard after taking only two steps:
"Your Highness, please stay. Your Majesty has something to deal with."
What's the matter? Isn't it just to meet that woman?
She could even sleep on such a dangerous matter as her fourth brother going to suppress bandits. That woman had no heart at all!
Xiao Yichen had a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart, but he thought that the fourth brother cared about that person. If he heard it, he would probably anger him.
So in the end, he suppressed his anger and turned to the woman who was also distracted: "Are you okay?"
Bai Muzhi raised his head: "I, I'm fine. I'm just a little tired..."
She lowered her head as she spoke, but her heart felt empty and uncomfortable.
Originally, she and he had a long time to talk along the way, but he ignored her at all.
It was as if he hadn't seen her.
Such an indifferent attitude is worse than that of a stranger.
Even if she is a stranger, she should at least ask if she has been hurt or bullied, right?
He actually, actually...
"You, don't cry. Are you injured somewhere? Someone, call the doctor over here!"
Seeing the girl's tears made Xiao Yichen feel unspeakably flustered, and he wished he had suffered for her.
However, the hand that was originally extended was put down halfway, and he turned to yell at the servant next to him.
Bai Muzhi wanted to say that she was fine and not injured.
The bandit who was going to bully him was killed by a falling vase. When the other bandits started making trouble, no one cared about her and locked her in a room alone.
Not long after, a strange masked boy came and rescued her.
Although this journey had its ups and downs, like every other time, it ended with a near miss and no harm at all.
But looking at the man's disappearing back, she didn't want to say these words.
The intense pain in her heart was something she had never experienced before.
"I will tell you the 'truth' you want to know, but I will not tell you directly. I will pass the news to Miss Bai next to you when necessary, and I will only tell her to one person."
Bai Muzhi closed her eyes, looked at the young man's concerned eyes, and showed a pale smile: "I'm so tired, can you let me have a rest?"
If the woman hadn't said these words, she even doubted that Xiao Yinhan would not take her away.
This inexplicable and very strong intuition...
"this……"
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yichen couldn't agree to a very simple request. Instead, he turned to look at the housekeeper aside and asked him: "Can you make a room for her to take a rest?"
When he said this, not only Bai Muzhi but also Xiao Yichen himself was stunned for a moment.
After being rejected countless times by his fourth brother, he finally learned to ask "is it okay?"
Butler: "...It should be okay."
Xiao Yichen/Bai Muzhi:......
-
The door was gently pushed open, and heavy gauze curtains were hung in the room, making it dark.
There was a thick blanket on the floor, making no sound when stepped on.
Xiao Yinhan had moisture on his body and had already changed his clothes. He was about to come in directly just now, but suddenly paused before opening the door. Seeing the blood-colored dust all over his body, he finally compromised and went aside to clean up.
I took a shower and changed my clothes before coming to the room.
The bed curtain was lifted up by a slender hand, revealing a peaceful and beautiful sleeping face.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yinhan's originally chaotic and manic mood suddenly calmed down...
