A confused concubine fell from the sky

"Fortunately, you are still a man, why are you so burdened?" Chaoyan disagreed, she continued to walk forward and said, "Now we are going back to Chengyang, do you think that old fox, Uncle Guo, will let us succeed if he knows about it?" Besides, although this road passes through the mountains, it is an official road, and there should be no beasts infesting it. If we keep walking all night, we may be able to reach the Imperial City the next morning. As long as it is Ah, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, we will be saved. I believe that the elder brother of the Emperor will definitely avenge your grievances when he finds out about your grievances!"

"Princess, you really believe me." Under the shadowy shadows of the branches, Wu Cheng's face was buried in the shadow and he couldn't see clearly, but his eyes were very bright, "Why do you trust me so much, a little girl? Follow me!"

"You're not a bad person, why didn't I dare to go with you?" Chao Yan didn't care about his strange fluctuations at all, pointing to the front and said: "Look at the forest in front, it's a bunch of orange trees! And they grow very low , we haven’t had dinner yet, we’ll be there in a while, pick some oranges and eat as we walk. The oranges are sweet right now!”

Wu Cheng looked at the unsuspecting Chaoyan with a complicated expression, but shook his head helplessly, and followed her footsteps. They went to the forest ahead and picked a lot of oranges, and then walked while eating.At this time, the sky was completely dark, and a round of bright moon shone brightly on the earth, and the shadows of the surrounding trees swayed, casting strange shadows; occasionally, a few owls cooed and flew overhead.

"Princess, why do you have to help us poor people?" Wu Cheng seemed to have no appetite, and almost all the oranges he picked were eaten by Chaoyan. He walked slowly and asked with a heavy heart: "Are you Princess, as long as you are happy, why are you bothering about the grievances of our poor people?"

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Chaoyan ate the sweet orange with a mouth full, and gave him a strange look, "That bastard uncle Guo dared to bully the people so lawlessly, and now even Chengyang Order Don’t dare to care, how many people have been persecuted and bullied by him! Although I have nothing to do with this matter, but if I know that there are evils and corrupt officials and don’t tell my elder brother, it is tantamount to an accomplice. I also feel a little helpless to the people...Although I am not a big man, the savior; but, since I have encountered such an injustice, I must deal with it to the end, or I will be sorry for my conscience ah!"

"Princess, you are such an innocent little girl..." Wu Cheng heard her frank and honest words, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, as if he couldn't laugh or cry.

He looked up at the bright moon in the sky, which was slowly passing through the clouds, and stopped as if he was thinking about something difficult.

"Brother Wu Cheng, what's the matter with you?" Zhao Yan asked strangely when he saw that he stopped suddenly and didn't leave.

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

"Hey, I'm sorry. I didn't have time to think about it at the time, and I jumped down to save you as soon as my brain got hot. But in the end, you rescued me...Huh?"

Chaoyan was smirking in embarrassment at first, but as soon as she finished speaking, she realized that something was wrong: Why would a person who can swim choose to commit suicide by jumping into the river?

"Did the princess realize it now?" Wu Cheng seemed to see through her thoughts, the corners of his thin mouth were slightly raised, as if smiling, "Actually, I didn't intend to commit suicide in the first place!"

"What? Could it be that you..." Chao Yan was shocked and frightened when she heard this: Did he do it on purpose?No way……

"I just saw that you were coming, so I deliberately pretended to curse Uncle Guo, you jumped into the river!" Seeing that there was no one around, Wu Cheng simply said without any concealment: "It's just that I didn't expect that you can't swim. , so I had no choice but to rescue you ashore."

"Then, are you sent by Uncle Guo?" Chaoyan heard this, and immediately the oranges in her hand fell to the ground, and rolled silently into the grass.

She thought: I am so stupid...

"Princess, you are a pure and kind little girl, so I don't want to kill you." Wu Cheng lowered his eyelids, "So, you go, the farther you run, the better, I just think you were rescued. "

"If I leave, will Uncle Guo punish you more?" Chao Yan asked in earnest instead of running away in a hurry after hearing this.

"At a time like this, does the Princess want to care about other people?" Wu Cheng couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, "You go, or I will regret it."

"None of you can leave!"

At this moment, a man's sneer was suddenly heard from a high hillside.Immediately, hundreds of torches appeared from behind the hillside, as if they were suddenly lit. It turned out that hundreds of men in black appeared on the hillside holding their torches high.The bright torches instantly illuminated the entire valley path, and at the brightest spot, an old man, wearing a luxurious green uniform and a square scarf, was standing fat and bloated; he was looking down at them with a sneer.

"Wu Cheng, the old man expected that you would betray the old man. Fortunately, the old man came here in person."

The old man smiled triumphantly. He should be Xue Qiang, the uncle of the country. He pointed to the silent Wu Cheng and said: "I brought you up with one hand, taught you martial arts, and provided you with food and lodging! I didn't expect you This wolf-hearted slave dares to betray this old man for a woman!"

"Are you that uncle of some country?" Seeing that Wu Cheng had a look of shame on his face, Chao Yan stepped forward, stood in front of Wu Cheng and raised his head to look directly at Xue Qiang, "You corrupt official not only oppresses the village, He even threatened and threatened the imperial court officials! I am the Princess Chaoyan who was proclaimed by the emperor, so don’t you dare to kill me!”

"Princess Chaoyan?" Xue Qiang laughed presumptuously and exaggeratedly, and then pointed at her and said, "You are an old man who doesn't know your background? It was just a whim of the day, and you, a wild girl who didn't know who you called It’s just a title. You really treat yourself as a dish? This old man is the brother of the current Empress Dowager Zhengci. Let’s not say that killing you, a little nominal princess, is killing a Chengyang order. , Long live today, I dare not do anything to this old man! Come on! Take these two people down for me! I want to peel off their skins alive!"

"What?" Chaoyan didn't expect Xue Qiang to act so boldly and lawlessly, and she was so annoyed that she couldn't speak.Na Wucheng hastily pulled her behind him, pulled out a soft sword from his belt, put it in front of Chaoyan, and shouted angrily: "Don't be embarrassing for the princess, she is just an ignorant little girl, just rush at anything." I come!"

"Good! Good, good! Very good!" Xue Qiang clapped his hands and sneered, "I can't see that you, Wu Cheng, are still so promising. You dare to talk to the old man like that. You think you are the most powerful martial artist in the old man's house." , Is there nothing I can do with you? Come on! Shoot this servant to death with random arrows, and then capture the princess alive!"

Immediately, he gave an order, and countless archers came out and started shooting arrows at them.
