The bandit's voice was more fierce than before, but Cheng Ruoxuan heard some hesitation. She smiled and said word by word: "There are officers and soldiers in the southwest who have come to Dangshan to suppress bandits." ”

"You say this is a prophecy from the gods?" The bandit leader was not fooled, "I think I heard it from your governor's office, right?" ”

Xuan Shi didn't say anything all the way, but at this time he replied eagerly: "No, our family has no plans to suppress bandits!" ”

She was so nervous that her voice was like a taut string, sharp and thin, and could break at any moment; But he answered it wisely. The bandit leader treats the officials equally, and it may not be clear who sent the soldiers. Once the Governor's Office is associated with the bandits, this person is likely to be angry with the hostages in his hands. Cheng Ruoxuan nodded: "The rules at home are strict, I am the girl who serves the young lady closely, and I can't even enter the door of the official office, what news can I hear?" I only know one thing, our lord respects the strong men of the mountains very much, and says that you are brave and fierce, and you must not be provoked. Have you ever faced up with the soldiers and horses of the Governor's Office, you must know better than me, big brother. ”

In fact, although Pei Yizhi implemented benevolent governance, he was also dissatisfied with things that endangered people's livelihood during his lifetime. Cheng Ruoxuan gritted his teeth and arranged this bunch of words, all to dispel the hostility of the bandits. She silently said disrespectful to her grandfather in her heart, and said, "Anyway, the soldiers from the southwest this time are definitely not sent by our family." If you have the opportunity to meet the big boss, big brother, you have to explain a few words for us, don't let the strong men misunderstand. ”

The bandit leader suddenly said, "Why do you say I'm not a big boss?" ”

Cheng Ruoxuan said in his heart that there is no such big boss in the world, and he has to do every little thing himself; She has watched her aunt and housekeeper since she was a child, staring at twenty or thirty things every day, big and small, as long as she controls the next person, how can Mrs. Pei personally serve tea and pour water? It is the errand runners, lest they be blamed for their unfavorable work, and give gifts every year, and even the rope that binds the tea cakes must be carefully inspected. When the bandit leader tied up Xuan's family, the expression was exactly the same.

Naturally, these things can't be told to the bandits, but it is better to use them to add some magical powers to the so-called "Star Monarch".

"Nothing in the world is out of the eyes of the Star Monarch." Cheng Ruoxuan said, "This is not my nonsense, you must have heard of it, big brother, right?" Even the emperor often asked the Qin Tianjian to ask about the celestial phenomena. ”

As the saying goes, "the sky hangs down like an auspicious image, and the saint is the one", the status of the Qin Heavenly Prison in this dynasty is unprecedented, and the reckless people have also heard of it. The bandit leader was shocked by Cheng Ruoxuan's central matter, and he took a breath before saying, "What happened in the past, why should I listen to your Laoshi Zixingjun......

"And what about the future?" Cheng Ruoxuan put on a momentum of holding the whole world, and said bitterly, "Big brother, you listen to me, this time your big boss will not be able to protect himself." Don't you want to know how you can survive this? ”

The bandit leader was suspicious, and only said, "You say." ”

The so-called "estimating the future" is simply a illusory hole card, Cheng Ruoxuan naturally refused to reveal it easily, but said tentatively: "If I say it, can the eldest brother let me and Miss go?" Without waiting for the bandit leader to answer, she reminded again: "Let's talk about it first, let's treat each other with sincerity, I will tell you the 1510 edict of the Star Monarch, and you don't want to scold me." Xingjun can watch it over our heads. ”

"Oh?" The bandit's tone was rather playful, "You threaten me? ”

"How dare you." Cheng Ruoxuan's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, "I heard that there are the most heroes among the reckless, and you must also be a righteous person, so I dare to ask you for a promise." "She has been taught by Pei Yizhi since she was a child, and she wants to stand up and stand up, no matter who she is, she must have three points of respect. Therefore, although she never regarded the bandit leader as a hero, the respectful meaning in her tone was from the heart.

The bandit was quite useful, and his originally vicious attitude was also a little loose, "It's a girl with sharp teeth." Tell me about it. If it really makes sense, I can let you go. ”

Xuan Shi hurriedly said: "What about me? The bandit's words didn't include her, she must have been in a hurry, and there was already a cry in her voice.

Cheng Ruoxuan hurriedly reassured: "Miss, don't worry, I will definitely protect you." In fact, she also understands that in the eyes of thieves, the Xuan family is very valuable, so how can she let it go easily? If you want to escape from the mountain with the Xuan family, I'm afraid you have to make another plan, and the most important thing to do now is to save the lives of the two.

She made up her mind and said, "I will only relay the meaning of Xingjun to you, believe it or not, it's all up to you, big brother." I'm sorry for you, and I took off the black cloth in front of my eyes, so that I could see the heavens. That being said, she had already figured out a reason to delay, such as the night fog was too thick and a star had not yet appeared, as long as she could make up a reason, it should work. Anyway, she can use the fact that she "understands" the astrological signs as a bargaining chip, and at least she can keep her peace for a while.

The bandit leader suddenly became vigilant, "I think you are trying to scold me." ”

Cheng Ruoxuan's heart staggered, and he immediately recalled which place made the bandit see through; The bandit continued: "You are a girl from the government, so you want to see the route to our cottage so clearly, don't you plan to find a way to reveal it?" I can't take that risk. ”

This is actually an overestimation of her. No matter how good a person has a sense of direction, like her, who has been locked in the boudoir since she was a child and has never been out of the house a few times, she will definitely grow into a road idiot. Not to mention that she is deep in the mountains at night, even if she goes to the street during the day, if no one leads her, she may also be lost. However, she didn't intend to say the so-called "things in the future" easily, and the bandit's refusal to do so can be regarded as crooked.

Cheng Ruoxuan got off the donkey and was very calm: "It's okay to wait, the lives of Miss and I are in your hands, so naturally we should listen to your arrangement." ”

The bandit snorted coldly, but didn't say anything more, not knowing what he was thinking. Cheng Ruoxuan also went with him, kept silent, and only concentrated on his feet.

The group walked out of a long way, the ground suddenly fell, Cheng Ruoxuan almost fell, but fortunately the bandit grabbed her. Cheng Ruoxuan's heart moved, knowing that this person finally had a little kindness, and hurriedly thanked him. But the leader of the bandits said, "Stop. So saying, he pulled the rope from her and tied it to a nearby tree.

Cheng Ruoxuan was blindfolded, unable to speculate about what variables had happened, only to feel that the surroundings were still dark, and it was not like arriving at the bandit's lair. She was in a state of panic when suddenly there was a strange roar, the cry of something I don't know, far and near, endless.

In the middle of the night, the voice sounded particularly eerie. Xuan's was already like a frightened bird, and this time he was immediately frightened and screamed. Cheng Ruoxuan's face was immovable, and his body shook unconsciously. The bandit rebuked, "Don't move. There's a trap on the side, and if it starts, it'll break your legs. You stand here and wait for me to come back. ”

Cheng Ruoxuan stood still as he said, and was about to ask a question, when he heard Xuan's sad words: "Where are you going to take me?" ”

The bandit leader sneered, "What are you doing with a lot of mouths? Just follow me. ”

Cheng Ruoxuan heard that Xuan's seemed to be struggling, worried that she would panic and step on the trap, so he hurriedly broke their whereabouts, so as to teach Xuan's to calm down: "I know that the eldest brother is lenient and will not harm my young lady's life." Miss is precious, you want to send her to meet the big boss, right? ”

In fact, it is not difficult to guess, if the Xuan family is not too nervous, she should be able to react, she is now an important hostage, and the bandit leader can't make up his own mind, so he must leave it to the big man in the bandit's den to make a decision; Cheng Ruoxuan was forced into a figure who knew the will of heaven by herself, and the bandits tied her here, apparently intending to detain her privately.

The bandit boss didn't deny it, and sneered: "You can't protect yourself now, and you still care about your young lady's future?" ”

Of course Cheng Ruoxuan cares. In the midst of danger, Xuan and her are each other's last support, and the two of them can still take care of each other in one place, wouldn't it be worse to be separated? Xuan's should have thought of something with her, and whimpered on the side: "I'm very scared...... Take my girl with you. ”

"What a nobleman, when it comes to our hands, why do you still want someone to serve?" The bandit leader said fiercely, "Don't worry, my brothers have a way to serve you." As for you, little girl, stay and serve Uncle Ben. He said this in a tone that was so smooth that it was disgusting.

Xuan was frightened by these words. Cheng Ruoxuan also said in his heart that it was not good, this bandit did not plan to bring himself at all. In fact, Xuan's identity is relied on, and her life should be safe, but how can her delicate character withstand it in the bandits' den? Now that the Pei family and the Xuan family have not completely torn their faces, if something happens to the Xuan family, I am afraid that they will not even have the last chance. Seeing that the predicament was becoming more and more difficult to solve, Cheng Ruoxuan calculated in his heart that he had to find a way to bring the rescuers as soon as possible. The Pei family is now too busy to take care of themselves, and it is inevitable that they will not be able to rescue the two of them...... But what about the Xuan family? As soon as her heart moved, she immediately said, "Since the eldest brother is willing to save the lives of me and Miss, I will help you with one more thing." ”

The bandit said disdainfully: "You little girl, what else will you do besides fortune telling?" ”

Cheng Ruoxuan doesn't even know how to tell fortunes. She just put on a calm posture and replied: "You are holding my young lady just to discuss with the Governor's Office and ask for some money. As everyone knows, the Governor's Office is not the only one who cares about my young lady. ”

The bandit leader was really interested, "Oh? He motioned for her to continue.

Cheng Ruoxuan said: "My young lady's family has just decided on the family affairs in recent days, and her fiancé is the ...... of the Xuan family in Wanling City" She didn't know the family affairs of the Xuan family, and she couldn't tell which family's family affairs to arrange for a while, so she said in the direction of the Xuan family: "It's better to let the young lady come to me, I am a subordinate, but I don't dare to call the young lady's husband by name." ”

Xuan's was a little hesitant, but he still made it up with her words: "It's Xuanyi, the second son of Wanling Dusi." ”

Cheng Ruoxuan nodded and took over the words, "That's a famous family, with hairpins for generations, and the most important thing is money." The eldest brother wants a ransom, so it is better to send another letter to Wanling. These large families are most important in their marriages, and they are most loyal to each other. If you listen to me, you only need to deliver the letter, and when the time comes, the silver taels sent by the Xuan family will never be less than ours. ”
