In the sparsely populated western Sichuan area, among the steep and majestic mountains, a young and handsome young chivalrous man is driving a carriage carrying two beauties on the narrow and dangerous ancient Shu plank road cautiously, and several eagles can be seen circling back and forth above their heads from time to time between the cliffs beside them.

"Ling Gongzi, come in and rest for a while, and I will replace you." Ouyang He opened the curtain of the car and said to Ling Rui in front of him.

"Then what's the matter, the coachman's work should be done by the only man here, Miss Ouyang, go in and rest, we will be in Victoria soon." Ling Rui looked at Ouyang He with a worried expression and replied gently.

"Hmph, isn't it that Ling Gongzi looks down on me and thinks I won't do these things? Ling Gongzi also looks down on people too much! Ouyang He deliberately became a little angry and pouted. Ling Rui saw that Ouyang He was a little unhappy so he hurriedly denied it, and then because he was really embarrassed, he still agreed to let Ouyang He drive the car for him after some advice, Ouyang He turned his back to Ling Rui who entered the car and laughed, Ling Rui saw Ouyang He's happy smile that he hadn't seen for a long time through the gap in the car curtain, and at the same time recalled her tired and haggard pale face a few days ago, and he thought in his heart what kind of girl this was, After experiencing a serious injury and losing all his internal strength, he can still treat every day of his life with such optimism, and he is worthy of being the owner of Jade Bee Villa who is admired by people in the rivers and lakes. It's just that the more Ouyang He indifferently dismisses his pain, the more Ling Rui feels extremely distressed and pity for this strong girl.

The carriage soon crossed the hill and entered the woods, where the lush branches of the banyan trees allowed the sunlight to shine only sporadically on the official road beneath the trees. Not long after Ouyang He drove the carriage into the woods, some strange noises and shadows caught Ouyang He's attention, and she began to observe the movements around her more carefully. Suddenly, a big black net fell from the sky and attacked Ouyang He, Ouyang He quickly jumped off the carriage and narrowly dodged the rope net, and then a group of people dressed as bandits quickly rushed up from all around and surrounded the carriage of the three people in the middle of the road, and Ling Rui and Chu Birou also walked out of the car when they heard the noise outside.

"Haha, big brother, it looks like we're lucky today. You see, there are two girls who look good, and now you can just gather two hundred young women to send them to Tibet. One of his men excitedly said to a burly man in a fur coat beside him.

"Two hundred women, Tubo, what do you mean?" The three of them were a little puzzled when they heard the conversation between the two.

"Two girls be careful, these thieves are not good." After Ling Rui finished speaking, he quickly stepped forward to protect Ouyang He and Chu Birou behind him, and then turned his head sideways and whispered to Chu Birou: "Miss Chu, I will follow them later to try to rescue the other women who were captured by them, so please protect Miss Ouyang and rush to Victoria first, please!" ”

The thief who took the lead loudly demanded that Ling Rui leave the two girls behind him behind, so that he could spare his life. How could Ling Rui agree to such a request, so after Ling Rui mockingly refused, this person gave an order, and the surrounding subordinates rushed up, Ling Rui and Chu Birou were beside Ouyang He, protecting her while fighting fiercely with this group of bandits. Although it was more than enough to deal with these bandits with Ling Rui and Chu Birou's martial arts, due to the large number of opponents, Chu Birou discussed with Ling Rui to break through with Ouyang He first. Then Chu Birou threw several smoke bombs around, the rapidly spreading smoke enveloped everyone, the bandits began to cough and flee in confusion, Ling Rui took the opportunity to drive the empty carriage and successfully attracted the attention of the bandits, and Chu Birou sneaked up from behind to kick the bandit leader off the horse, and quickly took Ouyang He to ride away. Although the bandit leader shouted loudly for his men to chase after the two who escaped on horseback, his men had completely lost their way in the smoke and were scurrying around like green-headed flies, so the bandit leader had no choice but to take the rest of the people to chase the slower carriage first, preparing to force Ouyang He and Chu Birou back to exchange by grabbing Ling Rui.

However, when everyone was about to catch up with the carriage, Ling Rui threw out two smoke bombs again, and the bandits fell into chaos again. Ling Rui took the opportunity to kill a masked subordinate and quickly changed into his clothes, then buried him with dead leaves on the ground, and he himself took the opportunity to blend in with the bandits. When the bandit leader saw that there was no one in the carriage, he was puzzled for a while, and then had to lead the people to leave quickly.

Half an hour later, Chu Birou and Ouyang He arrived in Victoria, and the streets of Victoria that greeted Ouyang He's eyes were as withered and depressed as Puzhou before, and the roadside was full of ragged and homeless people lying on the ground. At this time, a woman with a baby in her arms came up and begged the two for food, Ouyang He did not hesitate to give them the dry food on her body, and Chu Birou looked at Ouyang He with some concern on the side, sure enough, then more beggars came up to beg for food, Ouyang He was also a little at a loss for a while, but fortunately, Chu Birou pulled her on the horse in time and left here.

"Master Ouyang, I am not a hard-hearted person, but we only carry a small amount of dry food with us, even if we give it all, it will not be able to meet the needs of so many people, but it may cause a riot and make it impossible for us to get out." Chu Birou said to Ouyang He a little indifferently.

"I'm sorry, but I understand your concern, but seeing that they are already hungry and skinny, even if it is only a small effort, I really can't bear to sit idly by like this." Ouyang He said with some self-reproach while looking back.

Chu Birou looked at Ouyang He with a somewhat complicated look, and then stopped talking a little, and the two of them came to a pharmacy with a more imposing gate after passing through the bleak street, and the boss was the only one in front of the counter who fell asleep peacefully.

"Shopkeeper?" Chu Birou woke up the boss softly, and when the boss woke up and saw the two of them with a frightened look on his face, he hurriedly took them to the back hall of the pharmacy and told them to quickly hide in the pharmacy on the second floor. Just when Chu Birou and Ouyang He didn't know what was going on, several officers and soldiers outside the door shouted for the boss to go out, and not long after he went out, he cautiously ran back and took the two of them down to the second floor.

"Two girls, you are really fateful, you were not arrested by the officers and soldiers before you came to my pharmacy, otherwise you would not be able to protect yourself." The owner of the pharmacy said to them with some trepidation, "Listen to my advice, for the sake of your safety, stay in my pharmacy for the time being and don't go out." ”

"Boss, what is going on here? As far as the little woman knows, Victoria is the gathering place of Tubo and Nanzhao merchants in Dashu, and it should be very prosperous, why is it so depressed. Ouyang He asked puzzled.

The boss told them that since the power of the Black Eagle Village outside the city became stronger with the support of a Tibetan general, the Victorian government was gradually controlled by the Black Eagle Village because of the fear of the Tibetans. The bandits of the Black Eagle Village forcibly let the Victorian government carry the imperial court to raise the taxes of merchants for their own selfish interests, so that the business trips to Victoria to do business are becoming fewer and fewer, and many of the people who used to rely on business travel to make money have to go out to find other opportunities, and now only a large number of old and weak people remain in the city. Then the boss mentioned that not long ago, these officers and soldiers somehow wantonly arrested young women in the city, and no matter whether they were local or foreign, they couldn't escape their clutches, so he wanted to try his best to ensure the safety of Chu Birou and Ouyang He in the city.

"By the way, I haven't asked the two girls why they visited my little shop today?" After the boss asked, Chu Birou mentioned the Millennium Snow Youguo to the boss and asked the boss if he had a little left here. The boss sighed and shook his head, then said that he hadn't seen the Millennium Snow Fruit appear in Victoria City for several years, and the hunter who had picked the Millennium Snow Fruit for him several times before was now gone, so he didn't know where the Millennium Snow Fruit grew.

In order to wait for Ling Rui to come back and join them, they decided to stay in the pharmacy for the time being. Soon, night fell, and Ling Rui found the pharmacy according to the marks set by Chu Birou along the way, and the three of them reunited again after a brief separation. Ling Rui panted into the back hall and saw Chu Birou and hurriedly asked her if she had found the Millennium Snow Fruit in Victoria City, but after receiving Chu Birou's negative answer, he seemed a little excited, and found Ouyang He and said to the two of them that he had heard a good news, and the Millennium Snow Fruit was very likely to be near Mu Xue Peak in the north of Victoria. It turned out that after Ling Rui followed the thieves back to the Black Eagle Village, he overheard that the owner of the village had gone crazy in practice, and the second master of the Black Eagle Village was in a hurry to gather two hundred women to go to Mu Xuefeng's Tubo camp as soon as possible, and at the same time, the second master could get the thousand-year-old snow fruit for the owner of the village to treat. From this, Ling Rui confidently guessed that at least at the Mu Xue Summit, there were clues about the Millennium Snow Fruit. It's just that he heard that the camp of the Tubo army is heavily guarded, and the fences around it are more than ten feet high, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to sneak into the camp to search for clues for a while.

"I see, so I have to sneak into the Tibetan camp with the help of the Black Eagle Village, which he trusts." Chu Birou analyzed in a low voice.

"Miss Chu is saying, we ......" Ouyang He seemed to quickly understand Chu Birou's plan.

"No, absolutely not, I can't let you risk your lives!" Ling Rui also probably guessed Chu Birou's thoughts, "Black Eagle Village is a group of outlaws, who knows what they will do to the women they captured, aren't you going in like this?" ”

"Ling Gongzi, you calm down first, since these two hundred women are the key to whether the Black Eagle Village can get the support of Tubo and completely dominate Victoria, they will definitely attach great importance to this matter, and they should give these two hundred women to each other unscathed." Chu Birou poured a cup of tea for Ling Rui and calmly analyzed, "What's more, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, at the moment, we don't have any other clues about the thousand-year-old snow fruit, and the meridians of Ouyang Zhuang have now deteriorated to a condensed state, so we can only take a risk." ”

"Okay, but if you want to go, I'll go, this is the little woman's own business, how can I let Miss Chu take the risk for me." Ouyang He stood up and said loudly, regardless of the arguments and persuasions of Chu Birou and Ling Rui, "I have made up my mind about this matter, if Ling Gongzi and Miss Chu regard the little girl as a trustworthy person, please don't say more." ”

After Ouyang He spoke, the room suddenly fell silent. After a while, Ling Rui's eyes gradually became firm, saying that he believed in Ouyang He, and if he were in this situation, he would make the same choice. "Thank you, Ling Gongzi!" Ouyang He's warm smile made Ling Rui feel as uncomfortable as a knife at this moment.

"In that case, I won't say anything more, Master Ouyang, I also believe that you Jiren has his own natural appearance, you should be careful!" Chu Birou also said goodbye to Ouyang He worriedly, and then they asked the owner of the pharmacy to take Ouyang He to the government the next day, and soon the government transferred a carriage to tie Ouyang He up and take him to the Black Eagle Village.

"The second is in charge, the Victorian government has sent another one, and now there are a total of 199 women in the village." One of his subordinates reported to the second master in a tiger skin suit.

"Damn, the eldest brother's condition can't be delayed, no matter what, count the little girl who was caught two days ago, and send them to Mu Xuefeng's camp immediately, and give them some gold and silver treasures." With the order of the second master, the convoy carrying two hundred women set off towards Mu Xuefeng.

"Sister, sister, wake up!" Ouyang He opened her eyes in a trance under the effect of the residual drug, and then she was taken aback when she saw the little girl who was waking her up in front of her, she was actually the little girl who had been rescued by them from Dai Yuanwai in Puzhou before.
