The red maple leaves reflect the main slopes of the mountain as if they are stained with blood, and it is a spectacular sight to look at.

Zhou Youcheng and a few entourages quietly hid in a maple forest not far from Xi Yao, observing the movement here, and when he saw a dozen or so strong men shaking their muscles and approaching Xi Yao and the girl beside her, the sword in Zhou Youcheng's hand was already clenched.

But the situation took a sharp turn, in such a critical situation, the woman in white gauze was able to confidently negotiate the conditions with the other party, and after a few words, the expression of the middle-aged woman on the opposite side changed.

Because the distance is too far, Zhou Youcheng didn't really hear the other party's conversation, but just by looking at the expressions, you can judge the state of the two parties.

Zhou Youcheng's hand holding the hilt of the sword slowly loosened, "Interesting......

"So, let's just say it, when will we get the triple ransom?"

"Well...... Five days later, I came to pick up the ...... at the gate of the General's Palace."

"Okay, then I'll believe the eldest lady, and in five days, I will order someone to go to the General's Mansion to ask for the ransom that should be given, if not......"

"Listen to you! However, my general's mansion is not short of this money, so my mother can rest assured. ”

"Good! is worthy of being the general's daughter, and doing things is refreshing, so I will take this girl away, and we will have a ...... later" The waist twisted, the woman shook the phoenix tail fan, and carried the red incense down the mountain like ants.

was carried on the shoulders of the strong man, Hongxiang's eyes were red, and her tears were like a flood in an instant, but she was gagged, she couldn't say anything, so she could only let the strong man poke her round and pinch her flat.

Red Candle's legs weakened, and she sat down on the ground heavily, "Mom, it's really scary." ”

Seeing that at the end of the fork in the road, the people had already walked away, and Xi Yao did not stand firm and leaned against the tree behind him, "It's so dangerous......"

"It's just that Hongxiang's life is over." Reluctantly looking into the distance, the red candle spoke in a mournful tone, and two lines of tears fell down his cheeks.

"Distressed?"

"Nope!" Red Candle shook her head vigorously and held back her tears, "The slave knows that the reason why Hongxiang fell to today's fate is because she is to blame, but she doesn't cherish the opportunities that Miss has given her so many times, and she sends herself on this road, and she can't complain about others." ”

"Yes, you have to control your own life path." Slowly walked to the side of the red candle and sat down, Xi Yao sighed.

"But Miss, what are we going to do with the ransom? I don't have that much money in my hands......"

"We? Hehe, you girl...... Of course, the ransom will be taken by the Wang family and her daughter! ”

"You said let Madame and Second Miss take it? How is this possible! ”

"You don't believe me?" Xi Yao smiled brightly, "Get up, it's not good for your body to be cold on the ground, it's been long enough for us to come out, it's time to go back." There's still an uphill battle to be fought! ”

"Miss said with a smile, that mother was solved by you just now, what tough battle do we have to fight!"

didn't answer the words of the red candle, but Xi Yao's gaze was farther away, and he deliberately raised his voice and said, "When is the son going to secretly see it?" ”

When Zhou Youcheng heard this, he walked out from behind the maple forest with a smile, "It turns out that Miss already knew that I was here, so she dared to give it a go to the other party?" ”

"Childe trusts himself too much, right? How can you conclude that I see you as a good person? In case, you and the other person are in the same group...... It's possible, isn't it? ”

Laughing loudly, Zhou Youcheng was completely impressed by the clever words of the white-gauze woman in front of him, "Okay, sure enough, you are very good at speaking, you seem to be going down the mountain, but what should I do?" It looks like your carriage has just left! ”

"Thank you Gongzi for reminding me, the car is naturally leaving...... "The carriage was arranged by Gao Gao Lan to send him out of the mansion, and it is estimated that Gao Gao Lan is already complacent in the mansion at this time, waiting for the next plan."

And the carriage must have been told: just send the eldest lady here, and don't worry about anything else.

Compared with the eldest lady who has no power and no favor and the second lady who has a mother to rely on and is deeply loved, the coachman will naturally obey the orders of the second lady, where will he obediently stand at Baili Pavilion and wait?

Fortunately, she had already made preparations and asked Bai Moyang to send a car out. I just don't know if that guy will send a carriage over.

"Without the carriage, how does the young lady plan to return to the city? If you go, you probably won't be able to get there before dark, right? ”

"Where is the strength of Childe to talk straight just now? How do you start going around the bend here? ”

The eyes of the entourage behind Zhou Youcheng were already straight. In their memory, except for the emperor and grandson, no one dared to talk to their eldest son like this.

However, what is even more strange is that the eldest prince was not angry at all when he heard this, "Okay, to put it bluntly, according to my inference, the young lady was deceived by someone to come here, and you knew that it was a trap but deliberately wanted to drill it, which is also the reason why you left marks along the way, you are waiting for your companion to save you, right?" ”

Xi Yao hooked her lips and smiled, but did not answer.

Zhou Youcheng continued, "However, your companion didn't keep up with you for some reason, or to put it bluntly, he didn't come to rescue you, so you have to face the rest of the matter yourself, am I right?" ”

The smile on Xi Yao's face deepened, and the look in her eyes at Zhou Youcheng became complicated.

"Look at Miss's style, it shouldn't be from a poor family, then, if you are Miss, you haven't been able to go back after going out for so long, your family is probably going crazy, right? It is estimated that the age of the young lady should be about to reach the end of her life, if you don't return at night at this time, you will be famous tomorrow, and you will even be abandoned by the family...... So, if your enemy is well-planned, he will keep you out of the city just in case, which is probably why she called the carriage away. Without the carriage, what is the young lady going to do? ”

"I've seen a lot of people who are clever, but I'm the first one like you who thinks they're smart and clever. Whether Childe's guess just now is true or not, it's my business, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, right? I'm a more characteristic person, I only like to deal with my own affairs, and I don't like to be helped, so if Childe has something, hurry up and get busy, don't delay time with me. Red candle, let's go ......"

Coldly dropping a few words, Xi Yao threw off her sleeves and was about to walk down the mountain.

Zhou Youcheng was not discouraged, he followed directly, and his mouth kept talking, "This young lady, although we met in Pingshui, I deeply feel that we are very fateful, so I am willing to help you with this." ”

"Childe, I'll say it again, I don't need it!"

The smile on Zhou Youcheng's face froze a little, he really hadn't been treated so coldly since he was a child.
