ents down with you" Jiang Shufei glared fiercely at the palace maid.The palace maid understood. If she didn't die, her family would likely be implicated. She had no choice. Tears streaming down her fa..."Don't hurt our people, we'll go with you!" Xiao Yuge was worried that the swords and blades would harm Lu Xiangwan, so she decided to go with them first.
"What are you doing You're a martial artist, aren't you Why don't you fight them" Xiao Yufu beside her saw that Xiao Yuge didn't resist and was about to be subdued. She couldn't help but get anxious. These people looked like they were trouble, going with them like this... who knew what they would do to them.
Xiao Yu Ge let out a cold snort: "One against eight Sister, you think too highly of me." Although she wasn't afraid, there was no need to take such a risk, and she also wanted to know why these people were after them.
“Stop!” Seeing one of them about to hurt Lu Xiangwan, the leader of the black-clad men hurriedly stopped his subordinate. Then he pulled down the carriage driver, who had already been trembling with fear, and gestured for his men to sit in and drive the carriage.
"Two princess consorts, please come in!"
"Lady of the Manor!" Lu Xiangwan still wanted to stop her.
"Wan'er!" Xiao Yuge grabbed her, signaling her not to be impulsive.
And so, they remounted their carriage and allowed those people to drive them away.
I don't know how long it took, but the carriage finally stopped.
"Both princesses, please alight from the carriage!" A voice came from outside, belonging to the man in black.
Xiao Yu Ge lifted the curtain of the carriage and jumped out first. She saw that the man in black had already removed his face veil, revealing a dignified face. What was strange was that he actually had a head of purple hair and a pair of eyes that shone like amber. At first glance, he looked different from the people around him, but upon closer inspection, his features were very distinctive, with a unique exotic charm. Coupled with his purple hair, it made him even more eye-catching.
"The young master of Yulong Village, Long Yuan" Although Xiao Yuge hadn't been in the Jianghu for long, Feng Yan Niang had told her quite a bit about some things happening in the Jianghu. She naturally remembered one or two.
"You actually know me" Long Yuan looked at Xiao Yu Ge, who was so beautiful that he couldn't take his eyes away, and couldn't help but be stunned.
"Your appearance is not common in the Central Plains martial arts world, hard to forget." Xiao Yuge glanced at the Yu Longzhai in front of her, and couldn't help but frown. This name was still quite famous, how could a mountain stronghold be so dilapidated
"Young leader, you're finally back!" A girl of fifteen or sixteen ran out from inside. When she saw Xiao Yuge and the others, she was also taken aback: "Young leader, who are they" Seeing that Xiao Yuge and the others were dressed in fine clothes, with jeweled headpieces and gold and silver ornaments, it was clear they were either rich or noble. This wasn't common in their mountain village.
"Winter, but what's wrong with my adoptive father" Longyu seemed quite worried.
"Young Village Master, the Old Village Master coughed up blood again!"
"Bring them in, and treat them well," Long Yuan ordered his men. He instructed them to take Xiao Yu Ge and the others into the village, while he himself followed the girl named Dong Dong toward another direction.
Xiao Yu and Ge were taken into a room. Although they weren't tied up, there were people guarding outside, so they couldn't leave the room.
"They brought us here, what do they want to do" Xiao Yufu couldn't hold back her anger anymore.
Xiao Yu's gaze merely flickered across her for a moment. She did not speak, but instead sat cross-legged, needing to adjust her breath. Since mastering the final chapter of Shengsi Jue, she had not practiced diligently. Her senior brother had said that the Qingxin Jue given by their master required frequent practice.
Although she has mastered the Art of Life and Death, no one has ever practiced it before. Nobody knows if she will be able to fully control it as her internal energy grows in the future. Therefore, she should still practice the mental method diligently.
As darkness descended outside, no one paid any attention to them. Xiao Yu Fu patted her rumbling stomach, grumbling in frustration: "What are they doing keeping us here I'm starving!"
At that moment, footsteps sounded outside, and the door was soon opened.
"Who are you people Why did you bring us here I'm the future Crown Princess, my father is the current Prime Minister! If you let me go, I can plead with my father for you! Otherwise, don't regret it later!" Even at this point, Xiao Yufu still wanted to use her identity to intimidate them.
Long Yuan glanced at her, letting out a cold snort: "National Security Princess, since I had the guts to kidnap you all up the mountain, that means I have already anticipated the consequences. If you are wise, you should shut your mouth right now. Otherwise, if you anger me, this little bandit, your ending will only be even more miserable!"
"You, you want to do what" Sure enough, Xiao Yufu heard this and quickly retreated backwards in fright.
Long Yuan was too lazy to pay her any attention. With a wave of his hand, he said, "Come here, bring the food in!"
Yes!
When Xiao Yuge saw that there were only steamed buns and some vegetables delivered, she looked disgusted and said, “You actually gave me this I am the honored princess! How can I possibly eat such hard steamed buns!”
"National Security Princess, this is the best food in our village. Whether you like it or not, this is not your Prime Minister's Residence!" Long Yuan said coldly, then turned to Xiao Yu Ge who had been silent all along: "Guardian Country Princess, can I speak with you for a moment"
Xiao Yuge glanced at him and nodded.
"Young Mistress!" Lu Xiwan instinctively wanted to follow, but was stopped.
"Wan'er, it's fine. Stay here." Xiao Yuge motioned for her not to be impulsive. After all, she was confident in dealing with Long Yuan. Besides, this Long Yuan didn't seem like a bad person. She figured he must have taken them up the mountain for a reason.
Long Yuan brought Xiao Yu Ge to the courtyard: "Guardian Nation's Princess, you seem not afraid at all"
Xiao Yu sang red lips slightly pursed: "Are you afraid, will Young Master Long release us"
Of course not!
Xiao Yu's song raised her eyebrows slightly: "Isn't this settled No matter whether you're afraid or not, the result is the same. Why should I be afraid"
"I know your martial arts are not weak, if you want to leave, my Yu Long Village can't stop you at all. But, if you want to take them with you, it will be a bit difficult." Long Yuan also admired her, a woman being taken captive to the mountain village, she was not afraid at all.
Xiao Yu Ge walked over and sat down on a chair, taking the lead. She gestured for him to sit as well: "Young Master Long, if I had not been willing to go up the mountain with you just now, with your strength alone, you wouldn't have been able to take us. The Yulong Village is known for robbing from the rich and giving to the poor. I respect you as a good man, and I know that you took us up the mountain because of some difficulty. So tell me, what do you want"
"Lady Protector of the Nation is indeed quick-witted. Then Longyuan might as well make it clear. As Lady Protector arrived, you must have seen that our Yu Long Village has fallen into disrepair. Our village wasn't like this originally, but these past two years, a Black Bear Village appeared on the mountain. They are wicked and cruel, robbing us of the food we were to give to the people below and ruining their crops. Last autumn, the people had no harvest, so we had to open our stores to help them. But when we did, the people from Black Bear Village went and robbed the villagers again..."rst. Rest assured, on the Yellow Springs Road, your mother concubine will walk slower and will definitely wait for you. She won't let you be alone again!”When the noble consort finished speaking, she...
