"You are still a man, why are you so worried about children?" Chaoyan disagreed. She continued to walk forward and said, "Now that we are returning to Chengyang, do you think that old fox Uncle Guo will let us succeed if he knows about it?

Are you going to run away? Besides, although this road passes through the mountains, it is an official road, and there should be no wild beasts. If we keep walking all night, we may be able to reach the Imperial City the next morning. As long as it's

Ah, at the Emperor's feet, we will be saved. I believe that the Emperor's brother will definitely help you redress your grievances when he knows about them!"

"Princess, you really believe in me." Under the shadow of the branches, Wu Cheng's face was buried in the shadows and could not be seen clearly. He only felt that his eyes were unusually bright, "How can you, a little girl, trust me so much? How dare you

Follow me!"

"You're not a bad person, why don't I dare to follow you?" Chaoyan didn't pay attention to his strange fluctuation at all, pointing to the front and said: "Look at the forest in front of you, it's a forest of orange trees! And they all grow very low.

, we haven’t had dinner yet, so we got there soon, picked some oranges and ate them while walking. The oranges were very sweet at this time!”

Wu Cheng looked at the unsuspecting Chaoyan with a complicated expression, and had no choice but to shake his head and follow her footsteps. They walked to the front and picked a lot of oranges in the forest, and then ate while walking. At this time, the sky turned dark.

It was completely dark, and a bright moon was shining brightly on the earth. The shadows of the surrounding trees were swaying, casting strange shadows. Occasionally, a few owls flew over the head with their cooing sounds.

"Princess, why do you have to help us poor people?" Wucheng seemed to have no appetite. Almost all the oranges he picked were eaten by Chao Yan. He walked slowly and asked thoughtfully: "Are you

Princess, as long as you live a happy life, why do you have to worry so much about the injustices of our poor people?"

"Eh? What are you talking about?" Chaoyan looked at him strangely while eating a sweet orange, "That bastard uncle Guo dared to bully the people so lawlessly, and now even Chengyang ordered

Even if he doesn't dare to care, how many people will be persecuted and bullied by him! Although I have nothing to do with this matter, but if you know that there are evil corrupt officials and don't tell my brother the emperor, then you are an accomplice. I am sorry for the emperor's brother's treatment of me.

I also have a feeling of being unwilling to save the people... Although I am not a big shot or a savior, but since unfair things like this have happened to me, I must deal with them to the end, otherwise I will regret my own conscience.

ah!"

"Princess, you are such a simple little girl..." After hearing her frank and self-righteous words, Wu Cheng's mouth twitched slightly, as if he was a little confused about whether to laugh or cry.

He looked up at the bright moon slowly moving through the clouds in the sky, and stopped as if he was making some difficult considerations.

"Brother Wucheng, what's wrong with you?" Chao Yan asked strangely when he saw that he suddenly stopped and stopped walking.

"Princess, did you think so when you went down to the river to save me?" Under the shade of the tree, Wu Cheng looked at her again, with an elusive brightness in his eyes.

"Hehe, I'm sorry. I didn't have time to think too much at the time. I jumped down to save you as soon as my mind got hot. But in the end, you rescued me... Huh?"

Chaoyan originally smiled sheepishly, but as soon as she finished speaking, she realized something was wrong: Why would a person who can swim choose to commit suicide by jumping into a river?

"Has the princess realized just now?" Wu Cheng seemed to see through her inner thoughts. The corners of his thin mouth turned up slightly, as if he was smiling, "Actually, I didn't plan to commit suicide in the first place!"

"What? Could it be, you..." Chaoyan was shocked and frightened after hearing this: Did he do it on purpose? No way...

"I just saw you coming over, so I deliberately pretended to curse Uncle Guo and jumped into the river!" Seeing that there was no one around, Wu Cheng simply said it all without any hesitation: "It's just that I didn't expect you couldn't swim.

, so I had to rescue you ashore."

"So, are you sent here by my uncle?" After Chaoyan heard this, all the oranges in his hand fell to the ground and rolled silently into the grass.

She thought: I am so stupid...

"Princess, you are a simple and kind-hearted little girl, so I don't want to kill you." Wu Cheng lowered his eyelids, "So, you go, run as far away as possible. I just think you have been rescued."

"

"If I leave, will Uncle Guo punish you more?" Chao Yan heard this, but he didn't rush to run away, but asked calmly.

"At this time, should the princess care what others do?" Na Wucheng couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this, "You should leave quickly, otherwise I will regret it."

"None of you can leave!"

At this time, suddenly a man's sneer was heard from the high hillside. Suddenly, hundreds of torches appeared from behind the hillside, as if Song Ming was suddenly lit. It turned out to be hundreds of black-clothed people.

People appeared on the hillside holding torches high. The bright torches instantly illuminated the entire valley path. In the brightest place, stood an old man, wearing a luxurious green uniform and a square scarf. He was fat and bloated.

; was looking down at them with a sneer.

"Wucheng, I expected that you would betray me. Fortunately, I came here in person."

The old man smiled proudly. He must be the uncle Xue Qiang. He pointed at Wucheng who was silent and said: "I brought you up, taught you martial arts, and provided you with food and accommodation! I didn't expect you.

This ungrateful slave actually dares to betray me for a woman!"

"Are you that kind of uncle?" Chao Yan saw that Wucheng looked ashamed, so he stepped forward, stood in front of Wucheng, raised his head and looked directly at Xue Qiang, "You corrupt official, you not only bully the village, but also

You even threatened and coerced the imperial officials! I am the Princess of Chaoyan, who was personally granted the title of Emperor of the dynasty, how dare you kill me!"

"Princess Chaoyan?" Xue Qiang laughed wildly and exaggeratedly after hearing this. After laughing, he pointed at her and said: "You think I don't know your background? It's just a whim today, and you are a wild girl who I don't know.

The title of princess is just in name, do you really think of yourself as a dish? I am the brother of the current Empress Dowager Zhengci. Not to mention killing you, a princess in name only, is killing a Chengyang order.

, I don’t dare to do anything to me now! Come on! Get these two people! I will skin them alive!”

"What?" Chaoyan didn't expect that Xue Qiang would be so bold and lawless, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak. Nawu Cheng hurriedly pulled her behind him, pulled out a soft sword from his belt, and protected Chaoyan in front of him.

, yelled angrily: "Don't make things difficult for the princess, she is just an ignorant little girl, if you have anything, come at me!"

"Okay! Okay, okay! Very good!" Xue Qiang clapped his hands and sneered, "I can't see that you, Wu Cheng, are still so promising and dare to talk to my people like this. You think you are the most powerful martial artist in my family.

, is there nothing I can do against you? Come on! Shoot this slave to death with random arrows first, and then capture the princess alive!"
