Hidden golden branches

Chapter 38 Encountering Bandits

"Miss, I'm protecting you. You run east. That's the way we came." Guard Donglin held a dagger in his hand. It was something he had worn all year round for self-defense, but now it was for protection. Good Chen Rong, stained with a lot of blood.

Chen Rong clenched Cuizhu's sleeves with one hand and shook his head, refusing to leave him alone to escape. However, Donglin said that she was there, so he was timid and pushed him three times before letting Cuizhu and Chen Rong follow his instructions. run in the direction.

There were sounds of hand-to-hand combat behind him, and Dong Lin and Sun Yi were already locked in a fight.

In fact, it stands to reason that ordinary bandits cannot stand He Sunyi and Dong Lin.

But just as Chen Rong ran a few steps, he discovered that Zhang Xiuxi was also following her with her maid.

The direction in which the two people fled together made the bandits not have to think twice. They directly sent out several men to chase them and held them down.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me!" Zhang Xiuxi was so scared that tears flowed out. She kicked her legs on the ground randomly. After being kicked by the bandits, she calmed down a little.

When Sun Yi and Dong Lin finally escaped and appeared in front of them with some blood on their faces, the bandit had already put Chen Rong and Zhang Xiuxi together, and the leader exclaimed: "Deputy Lieutenant Sun is quite powerful. He can do it so quickly." Caught up."

"Husband! Husband, save me!" Zhang Xiuxi tried to stand up, her legs trembling under her skirt. He was kicked again and fell to his knees on the ground. When he looked up, his face was already wet with tears.

Although Chen Rong was also afraid, the gleaming silver blade was so close, as if even the cold air on the blade was overwhelming. However, she still tried her best to stabilize her emotions and raised her head to face it.

"Since you know who I am, you dare to ask me what grudges I have against you? Even if you have grudges, you come straight to me, why bother to implicate a few innocent women?" Sun Yi held a knife from the bandits in his hand. Taking the knife in his hand, he panted slightly and tried to be calm.

"Our hatred for you is irreconcilable."

"How to say it?"

"You don't need to ask in detail. Deputy Lieutenant Sun is really a noble man and has many things. He will never remember everything. But Deputy Lieutenant Sun is now considered a person. He has been on the battlefield and killed enemy soldiers. In this way, this Both women look beautiful to me. After all, it is Deputy Lieutenant Sun who is blessed with all the people. I respect you as a hero and will save one for you. You can decide which one you want to keep." The bandit leader walked up to Behind Chen Rong and Zhang Xiuxi, they held the knot that tied them both with both hands and said to Sun Yi with wide grins.

"What do you want? Money? Or life? If you want money, I can give it to you, as long as you ask. If you want life, since you have a grudge against me, take my life in exchange for theirs. Only in this way will it be valuable to you, no?" ?"

Sun Yi was still trying to negotiate, but the bandit leader laughed loudly, scolding Sun Yi for dreaming, and laughed at Sun Yi's one cheap life, how could he exchange two lives?

"How are you doing?" Sun Yi said with a dark face. asked in a deep voice.

"It's very simple. It's not easy to kill you. Of these two, you choose one to live, and the other will die for you." The bandit leader's words made Sun Yi frown and remain silent.

Zhang Xiuxi on the side was still crying for help.

After listening to the bandit's words, Chen Rong gradually calmed down. With a pair of almond-shaped eyes, she stared directly at Sun Yi, who was suffering extremely. She was also silently waiting for his decision.

She is watching, she is waiting.

She wanted to wait and see who Sun Yi would choose.

At this time, the surroundings were completely dark, and the bandits also lit two torches. The night wind blew the flames swaying, sometimes darkening and sometimes brightening.

The bandit leader thought he had given Sun Yi a choice and urged him to choose one, and neither would survive. Sun Yi was already forced into a desperate situation. He reluctantly looked at Zhang Xiuxi, and finally raised his right hand, signaling to let Chen Jia go.

Zhang Xiuxi looked at Sun Yi in disbelief and shouted heartbreakingly: "Husband! Do you want my concubine to die?!"

Zhang Xiuxi's heart was broken.

Hearing Zhang Xiuxi's cry, Sun Yi couldn't bear it, but he gritted his teeth and pointed at Chen Rong and said, "Let her go."

Zhang Xiuxi cried out and asked Sun Yi to think carefully about how she risked her life to save his life at the frontier. They were husband and wife, so how could she just abandon her like this.

Chen Rong stood there without any joy on his face: "Sun Yi, let me go, what will you do?"

Even a blind man could see the deep love between the two people in front of them, let alone Chen Rong who wanted an answer.

Sun Yi finally moved his eyes away from Zhang Xiuxi's face and turned to Chen Rong. His tone was cold and calm: "I will accompany her."

The whole thing was inserted into the lung tube!

I felt an invisible slap fall on my face, and the slap made me hurt.

Sure enough, Chen Rong's face turned pale and she was so distressed that she couldn't breathe.

Zhang Xiuxi looked stunned for a moment when she heard this, but when the cold touch of the blade just touched her neck, she didn't care about that and said to the bandits: "Kill her! She is a girl from the Shangshu family. , she is still the head of the county. If you let her go today, she will definitely not let you go in the future. If you let me go today, my husband and I will definitely keep it secret. This matter will be kept secret! No matter what you do in the future, Whatever you want, my husband will give it to you!"

Zhang Xiuxi rushed out her words in a hurry to save herself, causing Sun Yi's face to change drastically, and he shouted sternly: "Xixi!" Even if Sun Yi tried to stop him sternly at this moment, it would not help.

Chen Rong suddenly sneered, straightened his back and looked at Sun Yi: "Brother Sun Yi, you see, your wishful thinking of life and death has not moved your wife at all. You saved me just for me. I am afraid that your family will be implicated because of your identity, not because you have feelings for me. I would like to change with her, but it is a pity."

Chen Rong already said to himself: It's over, this is the last time he calls him 'brother'

Before Sun Yi could react, Chen Rong shouted: "Pine forest, rain bamboo."

The bandit leader and a short bandit suddenly bowed their hands to Chen Jia and said, "I'm here, my slave."

"Let this Mrs. Sun go." Chen Rong said lightly.

Song Lin, who was disguised as the bandit leader, immediately sent someone to cut Zhang Xiuxi and her maid through the ropes that bound them with a knife, and pushed the two people out.

Zhang Xiuxi and her maid ran behind Sun Yi in shock, and they still haven't recovered from this sudden change of situation.

After all, Sun Yi was a man, and he was a man who had been on the battlefield. He must be much more sober than them. He instantly concluded that this matter must be Chen Rong's fault.

"County Lord, I have already made it clear to you, so why are you doing this?!" Sun Yi felt angry, but because of Chen Rong's identity, he refrained from saying more hurtful words.

　Chen Rong: Sun Yi, Zhang Xiuxi and I, who will you choose to stay?

　　Sun Yi: If you stay, Xixi and I will live together and die in the same hole!

　　Chen Rong: An arrow to the heart.

　　Xiao Zi: Hey, Rong Rong, please don’t suffer because of your scumbag grandson.
