Chapter 17 You and I Swap
"Girl, can you tell me who you are?" the boy said suddenly.

"No comment."

"No comment." The young man whispered again, with a slight smile on his face.

He glanced at her, "I think the girl looks familiar, as if I've seen you somewhere."

Ye Zhaoyan's heart skipped a beat, and he thought, it can't be such a coincidence, can it?Did he recognize who he was?

She quickly denied: "I haven't seen it before, you must have mistaken the person."

Hearing this, the young man smiled, "Maybe I misremembered."

Ye Zhaoyan couldn't help but look at the young man twice more, but saw that the young man's eyes were clear, clean and bright, looking at him, like clear water flowing, warm and moist like jade, without any impurities.

This person is not malicious.

She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and said, "We have never met before, we are not familiar with each other."

When the young man heard the words, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Ye Zhaoyan, "Since we are not familiar with each other, what do you call the girl?"

"My surname is Ye." Ye Zhaoyan reached out to take the teacup and drank it down.

Seeing this, the smile on the boy's lips widened.

This girl is quite candid.

"My name is Zhuo"

There was a sudden commotion outside the carriage, drowning out the boy's voice.

Ye Zhaoyan put down the teacup in his hand, raised his head and said, "What did you mean by your name?"

At this time, the sound of horseshoes and yelling came from outside, and it was obvious that the group of people had already started searching the carriage.

"Miss Ye, don't worry, I will block the sword for you later, you can just run away." The young man smiled.

Ye Zhaoyan was slightly taken aback.

It sounds like a joke no matter what.

The young man smiled, "Don't look at me like that, I mean, I won't hurt you."

Ye Zhaoyan didn't take it seriously when he heard the boy's explanation.

She lifted a corner of the curtain to look outside.

The men were searching the second carriage, and it would not be long before they found hers.

And the carriage Ye Zhaoyan was in had a rein not far away, which was tied to two accompanying horses.

She has a decision in her mind.

Seeing the change of expression on her face, the boy couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

Ye Zhaoyan met his gaze.

This young man is just an outsider, if he is kidnapped, he will definitely not be able to escape the pursuit of these people.

That being the case, it's better to let this young man help lead them away.

With a thought, she stood up and walked to the carriage window.

When the young man saw this, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.

"Miss Ye, what are you doing?" There was some regret in the boy's tone.

If you go out rashly at this moment, the risk is extremely high.

Ye Zhaoyan raised his lips slightly when he heard this, "I have a way to get them out of here."

"What do you want to do?" the boy asked.

"I'll know later, you just need to cooperate with me."

Seeing this, the young man didn't say anything more, but said relaxedly: "Okay! I will cooperate with you."

He would like to see how the girl got out of the predicament in front of her.

Seeing that he agreed, Ye Zhaoyan no longer hesitated, and leaned over to take off his jade crown.

The boy's black hair fell down his waist like a waterfall.

"Take off your robe."

Hearing this, the young man frowned: "Take off your robe?"

"If you don't take it off, I can't guarantee that my hands will shake. If I miss it, I will cut your skin. At that time, your face will be disfigured."

Seeing the boy hesitate, Ye Zhaoyan approached him with the dagger again.

The boy didn't speak, and slowly took off his clothes and threw them aside.

Ye Zhaoyan took his coat, turned his back, and began to take off the coat.

The young man stared at Ye Zhaoyan's back in dumbfounded, this girl.
She even wanted to take off her own clothes. He wondered if he had read it wrong.

Ye Zhaoyan's speed was so fast that he took off his outer shirt almost in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, the boy's heart beat violently, and the girl actually took off her clothes in front of him.

There was a feeling of collapse in his heart, why did he meet such a girl? !
He shook his head, refocusing his attention on the situation outside.

At this moment, people outside are already taking inventory.

Ye Zhaoyan's movements were very quick, and within a short while, he had already changed into a blue robe, put the jade crown on his head, and then turned around.

She turned around and looked at the boy in front of her, "It's all right."

The girl in front of her changed into men's clothes. She had handsome features, long hair in a high bundle, and a heroic look between her brows. The blue dress was a bit loose on her body, but it looked even more slender.

The appearance and temperament are completely different from before.

He originally thought that this girl was just an ordinary girl.

He never thought that a girl could disguise herself so well that if she didn't observe carefully, she would not be aware that she was actually a girl.

She threw her coat to the boy and said, "Put this on!"

The young man took the clothes, a little dumbfounded, she actually let herself wear a woman's coat, and it was such a tattered dress.

Ye Zhaoyan seemed to know what the young man was thinking, "Either put on clothes or die."

The young man quickly put on Ye Zhaoyan's clothes.

Wearing the clothes on his body, there was an indescribable smell.

The boy looked a little more handsome with his hair down, and the women's coat was a little short on his body.

If you look closely, it doesn't look like a woman.

Fortunately, the sky is dark now, and it is not easy to distinguish from a distance.

Seeing this, the young man finally understood Ye Zhaoyan's intentions.

She actually wanted him to pretend to be her, and then lure those people away.

What a smart move.

But doing so is extremely dangerous.

"Miss Ye, I also have something to ask." The young man said seriously.

Ye Zhaoyan saw him take out a wooden box from the hidden compartment under the table and hand it to her.

The wooden box is clean, without any decoration.

Ye Zhaoyan couldn't see anything.

"Miss Ye, please keep it for me."

She hesitated for a moment, then took it.

Seeing that he was fully dressed, Ye Zhaoyan turned to look at him: "You go first."

The boy shook his head, "Someone is here."

Seeing this, Ye Zhaoyan was puzzled.

Just as she was about to urge the boy, a burst of noise came from far and near.

Another team came.

They came very fast, but within a few breaths they met the masked man.

An old man stepped out of the carriage.

This person was the second butler Xue who only talked with Ye Zhaoyan at dusk.

Steward Xue Er walked to the side of the group of masked men and talked with them for a while.

Those masked men retreated one after another, making way for the old man.

The old man led the people towards the end of the convoy, and began to check the carriages back.

"He's here to catch you again?" The young man speculated, looking at Ye Zhaoyan's stern expression.

Ye Zhaoyan remained silent.

"Did I guess right?" The boy looked outside and continued, "Two teams? It's going to be hard to escape now."

The young man was still sitting quietly in his seat, without any signs of panic, as if everything was under control.

Ye Zhaoyan was a little annoyed.

"Just do as I tell you." She said coldly.
