Advising the villains to be kind every day

When Zhuang Wan heard this voice, her hanging heart finally fell to the ground.

She raised her head and looked out, the fake Yan Cheng was dressed like a dog, but with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, she looked like a desperado who robbed his house.

She said how could Yan Cheng gather such a mob to oppress the common people here.

Xiao Jingchen was dubious when he saw the appearance of the former prince. Although he had never met Emperor Wen Zhao, everyone knew that he was a handsome man, and his queen was even more beautiful. How could the son of the two be so wretched.

"How do you prove that you are the former prince?"

"Does this still need proof?" The wretched man said: "The Xiao family killed my father, and I will not let him be safe in this country. If you submit to me today, I will spare you and wait for another day to attack you." If you enter Kyoto, I will not treat you badly."

Xiao Jingchen sneered a few times, "What a big tone! Then do you know who I am?"

"I don't care who you are, I only know that today you will die in my hands."

Xiao Jingchen: "Okay! Then today we will see who dies at whose hands."

"Give it to me!"

The wretched man gave an order, and dozens of minions rushed in. Seeing that Xiao Jingchen was resisting alone, Zhuang Wan hurriedly said, "I'll help."

Rong Li grabbed him: "It's so dangerous, how can a girl like you help?"

"Then you go!" Zhuang Wan said.

Rong Li: "..."

"Okay, you stay here! It's not like I haven't seen this kind of scene before."

Zhuang Wan looked around, caught a glimpse of a dog-beating stick standing in the corner, picked it up and rushed towards it.

To put it bluntly, those little guys are a bunch of idlers without a job, they have no skills, let alone beat Xiao Jingchen, he can't even get close to him.

"What are you doing here?" Xiao Jingchen said impatiently, "Go back, what do you want, this king has made you complain all over."

"My lord, just leave me alone!" Zhuang Wan didn't dare to kill anyone, and only beat the legs and feet of those little ones.

But she doesn't have to worry at all, the hero is the hero after all, and soon beat these people to lie on the ground screaming.

The wretched man panicked, and rushed over with a knife in his hands, shouting angrily. He was imposing, but he was a three-legged cat, and he was restrained by Xiao Jingchen within two rounds, begging for mercy repeatedly.

Xiao Jingchen asked him, "Who the hell are you?"

"I... I am Yan Yun, the former crown prince."

Zhuang Wan wanted to kick him, she didn't even know what the former prince's name was and dared to impersonate him.

"Ask you again!" Xiao Jingchen's sword tightened a little, and blood was directly seen on the neck of the wretched man, "Who the hell are you?"

The wretched man hurriedly said: "Don't...don't kill me. Let me tell you the truth. I am not a former prince, nor is my surname Yan. My surname is Wu. I am the fourth in my family. I belong to the dog. I live in Shitang Village dozens of miles away. , These people are all idlers from the countryside."

"Then what are you doing in Huaihua Village? Why do you pretend to be the former prince?"

"A few months ago, someone came to our village and asked me to pretend to be that former prince and rob the house on the mountain. At that time, I said I didn't dare. I became a bandit and the government didn't come to suppress it? The person said that he wanted to let the government People knew about it, and said that even if the government arrested us, there would be a way to keep us out. I saw that the man was generous, so I gave 100 taels at once, thinking that he must be a big shot, so I did as he said. But we squatted on the mountain For two months, I robbed a few passers-by, and went down the mountain to raid a few times, but the village was too poor, and nothing was looted, and the government didn't send anyone to suppress it, so I brought my brothers down the mountain, Occupying this village, I thought that these villagers should go to the government to report the crime! As a result, they all ran into the mountains."

Zhuang Wan was puzzled when she heard this, logically speaking, few people should know that Yan Cheng, the former crown prince, is still alive.And the sponsor who spent the money obviously didn't know what happened back then, otherwise how could it be possible that he didn't even know Yan Cheng's real name.

But why would he do it?Could it be that he wanted to draw out the real prince of the former dynasty, or the so-called "remnants of the former dynasty" like Zhamu?
Then who would do that?
Apparently, only someone in the court, even the emperor himself.

Hearing this, Xiao Jingchen had some guesses about the people behind the scene, and said, "We'll talk about this later. The people who brought you will first invite all the villagers who went into the mountain back."

"Yes yes yes!" Wu Si hurriedly ordered the screaming minions on the ground: "Brothers, stop lying down, didn't you listen to what this hero said? Hurry up and invite all the ancestors back!"

After everyone left, Xiao Jingchen got on his horse, and Rong Li hurriedly asked, "Where is Your Highness going?"

"Go to Lan'er." Xiao Jingchen said something, and rode his horse into the mountain.

"Then let's help find it too!" Zhuang Wan said.

Rong Li nodded in response, "Okay!"

……

After the snow stopped, Mu Qiulan had to go into the mountains again to find food to satisfy her hunger. Besides, she also wanted to find some herbs.

Mrs. Mu suffered from the wind and cold yesterday, lying on the hay and coughing continuously.

"Auntie, I'm leaving!"

Mrs. Mu held her hand: "Be careful."

Mu Qiulan nodded.

Before leaving, she took out three half-burned dead branches from the fire and put them in front of the statue of the mountain god, which was regarded as "incense".In the past, before she went out, she would pray to the mountain temple to bless her in safety.

When she and her aunt first came here, luckily the oil lamp in front of the statue was still alive, so there was a fire for warmth.If it weren't for this, they might have become frozen bones on the side of the road long ago.Therefore, she secretly felt that this mountain god was very effective.

It was very quiet in the woods, but it wasn't dead silent.Animal footprints can often be seen in the snow, probably animals like squirrels, and some nut shells are left behind.

This time she saw the soil dug out by the wild boar again, but she didn't know if it was the same wild boar.She picked up a few kudzu roots in the digging soil, but they were only as thick as a thumb.She doesn't like to stay for a long time, if the wild boar is still the one from yesterday, the enemy will be extremely jealous when they meet, she doesn't know if she can escape this time.

The direction she walked today should be south according to the direction of the sun before.Along the way, she had nothing to gain except picking up a few pieces of kudzu root leftovers eaten by wild boars. At this time, the herbs were all withered and buried in the snow, let alone disappeared.

She sighed, and when she was about to turn back, she suddenly saw a little red in front of her, which was particularly eye-catching in this ice and snow world.

There won't be any wild fruits in this world of ice and snow. She wondered if it was dates hanging on the branches.So he quickened his pace and approached, only to find that it was a red plum.On the snow-covered branches, bright red flower buds burst out of the ice.

She hadn't seen such gorgeous colors for a long time, and what she faced every day was the vast white snow field, and her eyes were almost blurred.

Seeing this vibrant scene now made her hopeful again, as long as she survived the winter, there would be endless wild flowers, bamboo shoots, wild mushrooms, and wild fruits all over the sky.

She wanted to bring back a branch of plum blossom, but she was reluctant to waste such a beautiful flower, so let it bloom wantonly!
She gently patted the snow on the flower branches, taking good care of those flower buds.

Suddenly, she heard a strange sound, like heavy breathing, stuck in her throat, and it sounded creepy.

She raised her head and looked around vigilantly, and saw a wild boar hiding behind a tree not far away, looking at her fiercely.

That wild boar was as big as a small pony, with sharp fangs sticking up, and the mane on its back stood upside down like iron spikes.

She was too scared to move, looked around, there was no tree to climb, and the wild boar was so close to her, if she ran, it would catch up to her soon.

She tried to scare it away with her voice, but the wild boar seemed to be very hungry, instead of retreating, it lowered its head and rushed towards her with its fangs shining.

She could only run away with all her strength, and the wild boar caught up immediately, and it was getting closer and closer. Within a moment, it would catch up to her and tear her to pieces.

Just when she thought she was going to die, someone suddenly rushed out of the forest on a horse. She felt a tightness around her waist, and she was hugged onto the horse and fell into a warm embrace.

She looked up, and saw Xiao Jingchen's slightly aged face, with green stubble on his chin.

At this moment, she felt extremely at ease, even if the two of them were not out of danger.

The wild boar behind is still hotly chasing.

Xiao Jingchen set up an arrow and shot the wild boar in the leg. It stopped after being injured, and watched the two get farther and farther unwillingly, and finally limped back to its lair. In this winter, hunting is not allowed. It won't live long.

The wind and snow shaved her face, but Mu Qiulan didn't feel any pain at all. Xiao Jingchen wrapped her in his fox fur cape, and stopped the horse when he was in a safe place.

"Let's take a break!" Xiao Jingchen carried her off the horse.

Mu Qiulan didn't dare to look at him, "Why is the prince here?"

Xiao Jingchen said coldly: "You left without saying goodbye, you should give me an explanation!"

Mu Qiulan: "I..."

"What?" Xiao Jingchen said, "You were the one who said you wanted to be my woman, and you were the one who left me and walked away. Could it be that in your eyes, I'm just someone who comes and goes..."

Mu Qiulan covered his mouth with her fingers: "Stop talking!"

Tears couldn't help sliding down, she choked up and said, "I'm sorry..."

Xiao Jingchen couldn't help being moved, because her resentment and resentment disappeared at this moment, he just wanted to kiss her cool lips, unwilling to let go...

Zhuang Wan, who followed closely, saw this scene and said, "It seems that I don't need to do anything."

Rong Li said: "When love is deep, naturally there is no knot that cannot be untied."

"I hope that this time the two of them will really achieve a positive result."

"People who love each other will always get married. Only through the ups and downs of the process can we know how to cherish each other."

Zhuang Wan sighed: "Loving each other is easy but getting along is difficult. Loving someone is easy, but it's rare to love only one person in a lifetime."

Of course, she wasn't worried about Xiao Jingchen's single-mindedness. The male lead in the novel was perfect. If he was half-hearted, readers would not agree.

Rong Li smiled and said: "If you haven't lived your whole life, how would you know you won't love just one person, and if you don't even give the chance to love, how would you know that you won't be happy together."
