Li Xinzhu was relatively calm, she glanced at Ye Zhilan, who was already at a loss, and suddenly sighed.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Xinzhu still decided that some words must be made clear, even if Ye Zhilan can't accept it, she has to force her to accept it.

"Xiaolan, don't be so panicked, no one can help the two of us now, except ourselves. ”

"But, but we are just two lowly mortal slaves, what can we do?" Ye Zhilan's words were full of despair.

"I have some ideas, you listen first. ”

Ye Zhilan looked at Li Xinzhu's calm eyes, and slowly felt that her heartbeat had calmed down, she covered her nose with her hand, took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and said, "Say it." ”

"Well, that's right, put your mind at ease first, and think carefully about every word I say below. I have two hypotheses, first, assuming that the third princess did get the news from us, then what did the third princess do, she let Sheng Gongzi and others drop the bag, but did not touch us, why? This is very important, you think about it carefully. It can only be because we still have use value, because the third princess still needs us, what else does she need us to do, we don't know, but it is certainly not to serve her, it should be more important. This is a good indication that we are all safe for a while. During this period of time, we must make good use of it, or continue to follow the third princess back to Qiujing City, or find an opportunity to escape halfway. ”

"Could it be that it's not us?" Ye Zhilan was dumbfounded.

"That's the second hypothesis, I'll talk about it later, let's talk about the first hypothesis first, don't interrupt, we don't have much time. Li Xinzhu glared at Ye Zhilan and said.

"Okay, you say. ”

"In the first hypothesis, if we choose to follow the third princess back to Qiujing City, then I suggest that on the way, even as soon as this matter is over, we will take the initiative to surrender to the third princess. ”

"What? Are we going to join the Qiushui Kingdom? What about your relatives, what about my brother, we have defected to the enemy, have you thought about their fate?" Ye Zhilan immediately became anxious when she heard this.

"Of course I know, after you listen to me, if we don't take the initiative to surrender, then after you and me, we will face the end of being wiped out anytime and anywhere, and it is very likely that we will die without knowing what is going on, are you willing to do this? Ye Zhilan, whether you want it or not, anyway, I, Li Xinzhu, am unwilling, we are indeed just ants and grasshoppers for those big people, but do we just accept our fate like this? No, as long as we live, our relatives in our hometown will hope to be truly free. This is also the core of what I want to say, if we choose to surrender to the third princess, then as a condition for surrendering, we can propose to the third princess to rescue our relatives in our hometown. Of course, in return, we will do what the third princess tells us to do. ”

After Li Xinzhu finished speaking, she took her head away from Ye Zhilan's ear slightly, and she looked at the location in the center of the camp, as if she could really see the situation there.

Ye Zhilan sighed and said, "Xiaozhu, I understand what you mean, but do you really think that the third princess will be that opponent?"

"Heh, a princess, a prince, evenly matched, if we add our help, at least a little tilt towards the third princess, then our hope of rescuing the family is greater. ”

"Then why don't we run away halfway?" Ye Zhilan asked.

"Escape? This road will not work. This brings me to my second hypothesis. ”

Li Xinzhu put her lips to Ye Zhilan's ear again, "My second assumption is that the news of Sheng Gongzi's mountain climbing posture is indeed leaked, but it is also possible that it did not leak from us. In other words, in the camp of the third princess now, I am afraid that there are spies of other forces. ”

"Xiaolan, do you think that ugly toad face could be sent by that one?"

Ye Zhilan was stunned for a moment, shook her head, and said: "I don't know, even the current chaos, I thought it was the one who arranged the ash sweeper, but after you said this, it seems that there is another possibility?"

"If Toad Face is the Dust Sweeper, why did he kill us? Is it the one who didn't mention us to him, or is he not a member of the Ash Sweeper at all?" Li Xinzhu asked, but his tone was a little elusive.

"Hey, I think it makes a lot of sense when you say that. If these people were really the ones who had been sent to sweep the ashes, they would have known about the two of us, and they would not have touched us, and now this man is going to kill us, and it is clear that he is not the one who sent us. In this case, the news may not have leaked from us. Ye Zhilan's eyes became brighter and brighter, and she muttered.

Li Xinzhu said "um", but when she looked at Ye Zhilan from the side, her eyes were full of pity.

However, ignorance is not a blessing, at least Ye Zhilan does not have such troubles and worries as she does now.

Of course, Toad Face may be a member of the Dust Sweeper, and the one who didn't tell the Dust Sweeper about the existence of the two of them, and Toad Face wanted to kill them on the spot, which is actually a relatively good result.

And if Toad Face knew who the two of them were, but deliberately wanted to kill them, would this be what that person meant?

If this is the case, whatever the purpose of the two of them is to take their lives, then the situation of the two of them is truly a situation in which the heavens and the earth should not be called spiritual.

Not only that, but even the relatives in the hometown may also suffer accidents.

This is the worst-case scenario, but it's not impossible.

So from the beginning, she wanted to guide Ye Zhilan's thoughts to take the initiative to surrender to the third princess, which was already the only chance for the two of them she could think of.

"Xiaolan, no matter which of the two assumptions, you have to listen to me after that, don't do anything for the time being, you know, we first have to find a way to determine whether these people are the ones sent to sweep the ashes, so that we can deduce whether the news was leaked by us, and then decide what we should do in the future. The days before returning to Qiujing City are the most important thing for us, and we must not be careless. Li Xinzhu advised.

"Okay, I got it. Ye Zhilan said.

"Of course, there is actually a possibility, that is, the two of us heard it wrong just now, and that person is not Sheng Gongzi at all. That means that our previous worries were just unfounded. In this case, we must not make the slightest move, so as not to show our feet. Li Xinzhu said, and he shook his head first.

"Xiaozhu, you don't have to comfort me, in fact, you and I both know that the person just now is Sheng Gongzi. Who but him would think of saving us at such times?"

"Then why did he save us?" Li Xinzhu suddenly asked, she was indeed a little puzzled by this, but mortals must have a purpose in acting, but what was Sheng Shen saving them for?

"Oh, why, why, the child's kindness, probably thought that we helped him at that time, so he saved us casually, right? ”

Ye Zhilan's tone was a little sighing, and she didn't know what she thought of.

"What, I miss your brother, don't worry, he's fine. ”

"Really, he ......" Ye Zhilan suddenly looked bright.

"Don't ask more, just know this. ”

"Oh. Ye Zhilan's eyebrows drooped again.

"But what you just said, I have a new idea. ”

"What do you think?" Ye Zhilan asked listlessly.

"If we really need to surrender, the third princess may not believe us, even if they reluctantly accept us, in the end, our life is no different from now, every day is not trusted, I am really fed up with this way of living. Why don't we throw ourselves to Sheng Gongzi?" Li Xinzhu suddenly smiled.

"Young Master Sheng?"

"Yes, I think that today Sheng Gongzi saved us, and we had nothing to repay, so we gave our people to him. Li Xinzhu smiled even more.

"However, Mr. Sheng may not want us. Ye Zhilan was very worried.

"Today, Sheng Gongzi saved us, and the ash sweeping operation marked a failure, and our follow-up mission is to destroy Sheng Gongzi, do you think we have to continue?" Li Xinzhu suddenly asked.

Ye Zhilan didn't speak, but shook her head without hesitation.

"I think so too, so how can someone like you and me be a spy. Li Xinzhu sighed.

"That's not an option for us. Ye Zhilan sighed helplessly.

"Yes, we don't have a choice. For mortal slaves like us, in fact, being alive is already the biggest choice. Alas, don't talk about this, but do you know that if we don't touch Sheng Gongzi anymore, with that ability, sooner or later we will know, we will still betray him. You should know that for that person, let alone whether the betrayal has happened, even if it arouses the slightest suspicion of him, we will be completely abandoned. Li Xinzhu said.

"But...... This...... We ......" Ye Zhilan wanted to argue, but she didn't know what to say.

"Now, if we want to live, there is only one way to go. It's just that in this matter, my idea is to try to throw myself to Sheng Gongzi first, and if we really can't succeed with him, we will turn to the third princess. Even if we want to turn to the third princess, it is best to let Sheng Gongzi come forward and have him vouch for us, so that our chances of survival will be much greater. ”

"But how can we get Young Master Sheng to accept us?" Ye Zhilan asked.
