The vicinity of Changping Town has been tightly blocked by the government, and the Dongheng army sent by the royal family is very fast, and the day after learning where the Bu Holy Maiden appeared, there was even worse news, the Bu Holy Maiden Bai Ruxue was captured by the Dongheng Army in Qilipo outside Changping Town. It's just that although she has been arrested, she doesn't want to reveal the location of her clan anyway, and now she is temporarily imprisoned in the dungeon of the official government and strictly guarded, only waiting for three days of rest, escorted to Beijing, waiting for the saint to be released.

Ruoxin knew that the news was deliberately released by the royal family, in order to let her know where Ru Xue was now, and lead her to show up. However, even if she knew that this was a trap, could she just let Ru Xue go and let her be captured by the royal family?

Although he had already prepared for the worst, he didn't expect it to happen so quickly. The plan that was already ready to go out to find Ru Xue was also put on hold for the time being. Ru Xue was arrested, and now, she has to find another way to arrange the whereabouts of more than 200 people from more than 100 households in Baijia Village.

The people of Baijia Village were panicked, and men, women, and children were all terrified. Ruoxin summoned the village chief and the elders overnight and expressed her thoughts, "Now that the situation is in crisis, Baijia Village can't stay any longer. ”

"What is to be done, sir?" Several old people were also full of anxiety on their faces.

Ruoxin's eyebrows frowned.

Ru Xue leaked her whereabouts, but she was afraid that the royal family would follow her clues all the way. Although Ru Xue is reckless by nature, she also knows righteousness in her heart, and she will not confess Baijia Village. I'm afraid that the royal government will send local governments to post Ru Xue's portrait, search nationwide, and reward those who provide Ru Xue's news.

They have survived in Baijia Village for generations, and it has been a hundred years, and the people in Wanchun County will know them to some extent, not to mention that Ru Xue often goes to the county seat to play, and it is more likely to be recognized.

Ru Xue was worried in her heart, she hadn't had a good rest for several days, Ruoxin rubbed her faintly painful forehead, thought for a while, and said: "I remember that there is a deep valley two or three hundred miles away from Wanchun County, the terrain is hidden, according to the current situation, I can only temporarily move there." ”

The Second Elder lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then asked, "It's too close to Wanchun County, will it be dangerous?" ”

"There's no other way around now. More than 100 households in Baijia Village have been relocated collectively, and it is already difficult and eye-catching. If you go too far, you are more likely to invite danger. The terrain of the deep valley is steep, densely wooded, and the entrance is hidden and narrow, and it will take me a lot of effort to find it. And there is a way back from the valley, and if it is unfortunate enough to be discovered, there is still a way to retreat. ”

The third elder hesitated for a moment and asked, "Sir, the valley you mentioned is only two or three hundred miles away from Baijia Village, why doesn't Mr. set up another obstacle outside the village, isn't it more beneficial than the collective relocation of the villagers?" ”

Ruoxin turned her head to look at the three elders and was silent for a moment.

If she still has the strength left, why should she think of such an impossible solution? The obstacle consumes her mind, and her physical strength is gradually decreasing, and she is afraid that there is no more mental energy to consume. What's more, the obstacle must be supported by the priest's ability, not to mention the ability to cast the obscure, which was the simplest technique of the priest in the past, and she had no way to carry it out.

The deterioration of her physical condition was faster than she could have imagined. Now, to be honest, she has lost all the abilities of a priest, and she is afraid that she is not as good as an ordinary person. It's just that this matter can't be said to them now, at this juncture, letting the villagers of Baijia Village know that the priests who can protect them have no ability, and they are afraid that it will only make people more frightened, and there is no other benefit.

Ruoxin took a deep breath and said calmly: "There is only one exit from the terrain of Baijia Village, if the royal family breaks the obstacle, then it will be a turtle in the urn, where do you want the more than 200 people in the village to flee?" Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case, the deep valley there is the most suitable place near Wanchun County, and you can defend and retreat. When all the villagers have entered the valley, I will lay a maze outside the valley. The rest of the way is to think of other ways. ”

Several elders looked at each other a few times, thinking that what Ruoxin said was indeed reasonable, and there was no other way, so they said, "Then do what Mr. said." ”

Ruoxin nodded, "You don't need to go through the county seat to get there, but we still have to be cautious and let the villagers go in batches, too many people have too big a target, and it is easy to attract attention." Ruoxin thought about it, got up and went to the desk to get a pen and paper, and said: "I remember that there are a few ways to go there, I will draw the route now, you go and distribute the villagers first, let everyone prepare food and warm clothes, and arrange for some people to leave tonight, and everyone will disperse." ”

After the deliberations were made, the elders came together. After opening the door, several old men walked to the door, but they stopped their movements, turned around to look at Ruoxin, and said with some difficulty: "Sir, although the saintess has done something wrong, she is also the saintess of the Bai clan after all......"

Ruoxin looked up, looked at the few old people standing at the door, looked through the door, and also saw the badly injured maple forest with a cane at the door.

Seeing that the elders had stopped, Feng Lin continued: "Miss is also the sister of the eldest lady anyway, even if there is any conflict with the eldest lady, I hope that the eldest lady will not give up on her." ”

Several old men looked at each other, with expressions of concern, anxiety, and embarrassment.

Listening to their reactions, she seemed to know something, and she didn't know if Feng Lin had told the old men about their sisters and Fenghua.

Abandon?

After all these years, they still can't recognize her.

Glancing over the old man with different expressions on his face, Ruoxin spoke, "Although Ru Xue is now in the hands of the government, their ultimate goal is to force me to show up. When the villagers are arranged, I will immediately find a way to save her. ”

Hearing her words, the old man breathed a sigh of relief.

Are you not worried about her at all, or are you too confident in her abilities?

Feng Lin's frowning brows eased slightly, and his heart was a little less worried about Ruoxin's lack of movement to save Ru Xue, "I hope the eldest lady will do what she says." ”

"Ru Xue is my sister, even if you don't say it, I won't abandon her. Now that she is causing this matter, you will have to take some responsibility, and I will reconsider your punishment and whether you can continue to stay by Ru Xue's side. ”

Feng Lin's face suddenly turned pale, he lowered his head, and said in a difficult tone: "As long as the young lady can be rescued, Feng Lin is at the disposal of the eldest lady." ”

＊＊＊＊＊＊

That night, the elders led the first batch of people assigned to Wakashin Temple to wait for her.

Rouge helped Ruoxin sort out the baggage, and after Ruoxin handed over the road map to the man who led the way, she walked back to the bedroom first, took the burden from Xiao Si's hand, and said, "Xiao Si, you go home first." ”

"Why?" Shang Si stared at Ruoxin tightly and pursed his lips.

"Baijia Village is on the verge of a catastrophe, if you can avoid it, it will be a blessing. If you can't escape, you may be condemned by the emperor to destroy the village, even if the emperor is benevolent, it is a capital crime that can be avoided, and a living crime cannot be escaped. You are not from Baijia Village in the first place, don't come here to explore the troubled water. ”

Looking at Ruoxin's tired face, Shang Sixin's heart was also pinched, and his face lost his previous smile, he held Ruoxin's hand and said, "I'm not afraid, I want to be with Sister Ah Li." ”

Although he was also very reluctant in his heart, he was more concerned about his safety, Ruoxin did not allow him to refute, pointed at his acupoint, did not look at his wide-eyed anxious and angry eyes, and said: "Anyway, you can't stay with me anymore." Bai Rong, tomorrow you will take Xiaosi out of Baijia Village. Thinking of Xiaosi's stubborn character, Ruoxin said again: "Send him back to Jiangnan Shang's house and let his parents take good care of him." ”

"Yes, girl." Seeing Shang Si's red eyes staring at Ruoxin in disbelief, Bai Rong seemed to have something else in mind, was silent for a moment, and asked, "Girl, are you going to save the second miss?" ”

Hearing Bai Rong's question, Rouge also stopped his movements and looked at Ruoxin.

Ruoxin sighed, nodded and said, "Well, after sending this first batch of villagers, let the elders arrange the rest, you escort all the way, I will go to Changping Town, and think about how to save her." ”

Bai Rong and Rouge didn't speak, the two of them glanced at each other, the two sides who always looked at each other unpleasantly in the past, but this time, they had a common idea.

The first batch of villagers were safely sent to that deep valley, and it was already two days later for Ruoxin to return to Baijia Village. At the same time, she also heard a shocking news that the royal Dongheng army was on the way to escort the holy daughter of the Bu family into Beijing and was attacked by people in the woods of Qilipo in Changping Town.

It is said that they poisoned the food of the Dongheng army, drove hundreds of horses into the barracks, and burned the camp, while they took advantage of the chaos to kill the carriage that escorted the holy daughter of the Bu family.

However, the Dongheng army was numerous, and the two men in black were also heavily injured, and just when they were almost defeated, a group of people in Tsing Yi suddenly appeared.

The group of Tsing Yi people numbered hundreds, and they were skilled, not like ordinary mountain bandits. The Dongheng army was suddenly attacked and suffered heavy losses, while the holy daughter of the Bu clan was rescued by a man in black when the two sides were fighting, and her whereabouts were unknown.

Ruoxin was shocked when she heard the news.

She didn't know who the so-called skilled Tsing Yi people were, but she knew clearly that the two black-clothed people must be Bai Rong and Rouge.

Those two fools, they must not have wanted her to take risks, so the two of them teamed up to go to Changping Town to save people.

Thinking that they are dedicated to her, but now they don't know life and death, Ruoxin's heart is like a knife.

Without the slightest stop, Ruoxin quickly brought the old horse from the stable, intending to go to Changping Town.

The elders also heard the news of the Holy Maiden's escape, and although they did not know who had saved them, at least they had escaped from the royal control, and they rejoiced in their hearts, and found Ruoxin's residence only to find that she was about to get on her horse and go out.

"Where are you going, sir?"

Ruoxin grabbed the reins, "Go find Bai Rong and Rouge." ”

The elder was also a little suspicious in his heart, but now that Ruoxin confirmed it, he was even more relieved, "Is it really them?" That's fine, that's fine. ”

What good is it that people do not know life and death now?

Ruoxin's face sank, she stepped on the horse, and asked the Great Elder to stop her, "Sir, the Holy Maiden has escaped, so you don't have to go again." Nowadays, the most important thing is how to arrange other villagers to a safe place. ”

Anger began to churn, Ruoxin stared at the Great Elder, and said coldly: "What about Bai Rong and Rouge?" ”

The Great Elder hesitated for a moment, and then said, "There are priorities, there are still more than a hundred villagers in Baijia Village whose lives are in danger, and Mr. can't leave them behind." Bai Rong and Rouge, as the priest's attendants, should swear to the death for the priest. ”

Although the other elders had some guilt on their faces, they did not mean to object to the Great Elder's words.

The anger in her heart was finally ignited by the ruthless words of the Great Elder, Ruoxin gritted her teeth and said angrily: "Their lives are fate, aren't the lives of Bai Rong and Rouge fate?" ”
