Chapter 51
Even if she hurried and hurried, it was already past "about seven o'clock in the morning" when she arrived at the entrance of the town.
Wen Bei had already appeared at the entrance of the town, and his face was slightly dark at this time.
Originally, he had no intention of showing up in person to pick him up, but was waiting on the carriage not far away. However, when Mingxiu failed to show up at the appointed time, he became a little anxious.
After noon today is the best time to save Xie Zhan. If it passes, I don't know how long it will take. If Mingxiu still doesn't come, he will go to Ming's house to kidnap someone.
After all, the longer Xie Zhan is in the opponent's hands, the more dangerous he will be.
Who knows if the other party will want to eradicate Xie Zhan once and for all. Although a person like him is a big bargaining chip when he is alive, for some people it is safest for him to die.
"Sorry, I'm late."
Mingxiu was a little embarrassed. She was indeed not punctual, but the distance from the village to the town was not close, and she couldn't ask the carriage to be brought out. If there was too much noise, she would not be able to leave if her parents were awakened.
.
It's naturally slower to get to town on foot.
Wenbei was angry, but seeing Mingxiu panting, he couldn't say anything.
"...Get in the car, let's leave now, otherwise we won't have enough time."
Mingxiu felt a little ashamed at first, but now she would not refuse and climbed into the carriage with the help of the guards.
It was daybreak, and a roar suddenly came from Mingxiu's abdomen.
She looked at Wen Bei, holding her stomach with some embarrassment, "I didn't have time to have breakfast."
Because she was hiding something in her heart, she didn't even take two bites of yesterday's dinner. She hadn't eaten for almost twelve hours, so her stomach wasn't allowed to growl?
Mingxiu was not a squeamish person. Seeing that there was no village or shop in front of her, she knew that unless Wenbei had dry food with him, there would be nothing to eat.
"...Eat something in advance, you won't have time to eat at night."
Regardless of whether they could rescue Xie Zhan this time, they would not be able to get back to the nearest village by evening.
Mingxiu nodded slightly, it would be nice if she could have some food to fill her stomach now. As for what to do in the evening, let's talk about it in the evening.
Anyway, in these wild mountains, there should be plenty of prey such as pheasants and rabbits. Even if there are no wild vegetables, there are still some, right?
With her ability to identify wild vegetables, Mingxiu is not worried about going hungry.
With boiled water that had already cooled down, she ate two large pieces of dry food cakes before she was finished. Even though the amount of dry food didn't look like much, it actually took up a lot of food in her stomach. You could tell by looking at Mingxiu's satisfied look.
Wen Bei glanced at her, said nothing, and silently put away the kettle and the remaining dry food.
…
At this time, in a cell somewhere in the wilderness.
Although he had been detained for more than five days, Xie Zhan still looked refreshed and not in the least bit embarrassed.
His childhood education prevented him from showing any embarrassment. Sometimes the mental outlook is a person's soul. If it is lost, he may even lose the courage to live.
In order to avoid being chased, becoming a beggar was his last resort. What's more, his identity has been revealed and there is no need to cover it up.
This appearance made the big man who was locked up in the same cell with Xie Zhan a little dissatisfied.
"I said, little brother, you are a grown man, how can you act like a girl? There is no girl here to look at you, are you tired?"
Without looking at his appearance, just by listening to his rough voice and tone, you can tell that this person is informal.
Xie Zhan smiled and was not dissatisfied with the big man's rudeness, but said: "I have been like this since I was a child. Dirty things cannot invade my body."
"You've gone somewhere and are still literate. You scholars are just weird." The big man curled his lips and didn't take it seriously.
Xia Chong can't talk about ice, Xie Zhan doesn't want to argue with him about this.
In fact, he was also wondering in his heart. This elder brother seemed to have extraordinary skills. At least the jailers were no match for him. It shouldn't be difficult for such a person to escape. Why was he still in prison so honestly?
Stay inside?
Is it possible that there are some masters hiding in this prison cell that he doesn't know about?
Thinking of the opponents who wished he was dead immediately, Xie Zhan felt that if there really was a master hiding, there was only one possibility for him not to be killed.
That means leaving him fishing.
No matter how powerful Xie Zhan is, he is only one person. If he dies, there are only two possibilities for his loyal subordinates.
On the one hand, the group of dragons and dragons are leaderless and become a mess, or they are tightly united to avenge him.
If it is the latter, compared to a group of loyal lunatics who have no reason to explain, although I hate to admit it, those people will definitely suffer heavy losses.
They can't afford to be hurt!
That's why Xie Zhan can stay in prison so peacefully, waiting for someone to rescue him.
I just don’t know if Mingxiu will be angry if he leaves without saying goodbye.
He had obviously promised to tell her if he left, but now that he had made a mistake, Xie Zhan didn't know how to go back and face Mingxiu's anger.
He didn't know that Mingxiu was already on his way here filled with anger.
The big man stared at Xie Zhan with burning eyes, as if he was looking at someone through him.
Even though Xie Zhan has good mental endurance, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable in this situation.
"you……"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by the big man, "Are you...?" He wrote "Zheng" in his hand.
Xie Zhan narrowed his eyes. He was not sure why this person made such a question.
Back then, he had offended many people in order to achieve his goal. The person in front of him was highly skilled. Without knowing whether he was an enemy or a friend, Xie Zhan did not want to reveal his identity rashly.
Seeing this, the big man was not angry, but instead became convinced of his suspicions.
"I am a descendant of the Ye family."
"Ye family?" Xie Zhan frowned slightly, "Which Ye family?"
There are so many people with the surname Ye in the world, but there is only one family that is related to him...
Although he has offended many people in his life, the only one he has ever truly sorry for is Ye Huai, the leader of the Ye clan!
It was because of his negligence that the Ye family was wiped out. I heard that before the tragedy happened, they secretly gave away a part of their blood. Could it be possible...
Before Xie Zhan could react, there was a commotion outside.
"There are actually women in these barren mountains and ridges?"
"It's just the right time. We're very thirsty here. It's just the right time to quench our thirst, and the brothers can also taste the smell of women."
An arrogant voice came from outside. Just by hearing these words, one could guess what happened without seeing it.
Ye Ziming's eyes lit up, he pulled Xie Zhan and said: "The jailers outside have been led away, let's take advantage of the chaos and sneak away!"
Although this is a good opportunity, the risk is high.
In the barren mountains outside, the two of them were unarmed and without mounts. If no one came to help them, they would be captured soon.
But neither Ye Ziming nor Xie Zhan were people to sit still and wait for death, and they made a decision quickly.
But before that, Xie Zhan still had doubts about the identity of the man in front of him.
"Who is your father?"
