Jin Se rode on horseback, galloping like a wind on the road from the desert to the Central Plains. It's almost summer season, and the willow trees on both sides of the not very wide road seem to be dressed in green unconsciously. A gust of wind blew, and even the air brought a trace of warmth, and the branches of the willow trees on the side of the road slowly stretched out in the warm wind, floating softly, like the skirt of a dancing girl, beating with the rhythm of the wind like a wave.

The wind came so suddenly, rolling over the desert and sand crashing, leaving a barren landscape everywhere it went. The sand and dust raised by the wind hit Jinse's face heavily, and the fine edges and corners grinded the skin on his face with a stinging pain.

It's a strange wind.

Jinse thought, and hurriedly covered his face with his cloak, revealing only two eyes.

It's better to catch up with Minglong quickly. Jin Se couldn't help but exert force between his legs and clamp the horse's belly. The horse under its crotch chirped and ran faster, kicking up a puff of dust.

Early in the morning, Jin Se came to the outside of Yangzhou. She chased for several days, but she didn't catch up with Minglong. Now that she has arrived outside Yangzhou City, when she is debating whether to go to the bamboo forest to find Minglong and Qingyan, she sees several people dressed in black passing through the city gate and going to the city.

Jin Se was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that the man in the lead looked very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere. But I couldn't remember it for a while. And look at those people in a hurry, as if they are in a hurry to find something. Jin Se thought about it sideways, wrapped his cloak tightly, and led the horse to follow far away.

After passing a fork in the road, the men in black entered a teahouse. Jinse saw them go up the stairs and into a private seat on the second floor. There were layers of beaded curtains hanging at the door of the seat, and it was not clear who was sitting inside.

Jin Se followed the stairs and hid in another private room just a wall away from the room. She leaned her body against the wall, her ears close to the wall, and she heard a voice coming from the other side of the wall.

"Your Highness, it's been clarified. There was indeed a small thatched hut in the bamboo forest outside the city, where a woman lived before. But a young man came a short time ago this day, and went into the hut, and has not yet come out. The spies carefully confirmed that the woman in the hut was indeed in the Drunken Immortal Residence before, but it was not certain whether she was the Oiran who escaped that night. ”

I could tell that it was someone who had just entered. Jin Se was shocked and furrowed his brows.

"Hmm······ What's the origin of that man? A low boy said slowly.

The voice was so familiar. Jin Se's eyes widened suddenly, and he gasped.

That's right, it's the Great Prince. How did he get here? What is he here for?

The doubts in his heart are still coming, and Rong Jinse thought about it, and heard the voice of the entourage.

"No one knew the man, but every now and then one or two men would come to see him when people who lived nearby said that there was only one woman living in the hut. I don't know if this man is one of them. ”

Worst! Jin Se thought to himself. When she lived in a bamboo thatched hut before, Xuan Ming and Ming Long would come to see her from time to time, and she didn't notice that her whereabouts would be exposed. And now, she had to believe that the wall had eyes.

"Interesting." The low boy sounded slowly, mixed with a little playfulness, but to Jinse's ears, it exuded a dangerous smell. "Let's go, take someone to see. Whether it's an Oiran or not, you're going to get me alive. ”

Before Jin Se could wait for the eldest prince's subordinates to receive the order, he had already turned over and went downstairs, jumped on horseback, and went straight to the bamboo forest outside the city.

Hurry up! Otherwise, both Minglong and Qingyan may be caught.

Jinse thought, leaned down and lowered his head, leaned on the side of the horse's ear and moved his lips slightly, not knowing what she said, the horse seemed to understand the words, jumped the horse's hooves, and ran faster and faster.

"Bang!" The bamboo door of the hut suddenly opened. Jin Se's sudden intrusion really startled Minglong and Qingyan. Jin Se hurriedly walked in, and said breathlessly:

"Let's go! The eldest prince brought someone over to arrest someone! As soon as he finished speaking, he faced Minglong, who was eating with a bowl on his hand. When she looked again, Qingyan had already gotten up and closed the door from behind her.

"Sister Chuchen, why don't you come with Brother Minglong? I just made a small dish, and I knew I was waiting for you. Come on, come on, sit down and eat some. Qingyan said sweetly with a smile. After speaking, he took Jinse's arm and carried her to the table, let her sit down, took the kettle on the table, and poured her a bowl of water:

"Seeing that my sister is in a hurry, hurry up and drink some water." Where did Jin Se have the heart to drink water, and with a hand that swept away the green smoke, the cup fell to the ground, and the crisp sound surprised the three people present.

"Minglong, have you eaten enough?!" Jin Se finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted at Ming Long, who was still filling his mouth with rice with a bowl. Minglong took half of the green vegetables that were still outside his mouth, and blinked innocently with a pair of eyes:

"Before Jinse" Huo "stood up, snatched the bowl in Minglong's hand, and exhaled heavily: "I said that the eldest prince will come with someone soon, did you hear?" Minglong was still holding chopsticks in one hand, with a harmless expression, and nodded:

"I hear you. But even his few people can't do anything to you and me! Minglong sucked the other half of the greens into his mouth, "By the way, how do you know?" Jin Se rolled his eyes:

"As soon as I came outside the city, I saw the men of the great prince entering the city, and I followed them. Just tinga their conversation. ”

"Oh······" Minglong nodded.

"Sister Chuchen, come and see, there seem to be a lot of people outside." There was a faint eagerness in Qingyan's soft voice. This voice pulled Minglong's mind back from the food on the table. Minglong got up hurriedly and walked to the side of the bed:

"Where?" Jinse looked at his back, trying his best to suppress the urge to beat him, so he gave him a deep white look. I leaned in to the window.

In the usually quiet bamboo forest, there was the sound of rustling footsteps at this time.

"There were thirty or forty people listening to the voice." Minglong said lightly, put down the stick against the window, and looked at Jin Se: "The two of us can deal with it." ”

"What about Qingyan?" Jin Se tilted his head and replied to Ming Long with a sneer. Minglong was suddenly dumbfounded, frowning, he paused for a moment, and said;

"Jin Se, you take Qingyan and go first, and I'll cut it off." Jin Se narrowed his eyes, and the sneer at the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious:

"Are you broken? Forget it! Now the bamboo forest must be surrounded, and now you will definitely not be able to run away when you go out. Besides, Qingyan doesn't know martial arts, and I can't walk far with her. It's better for you to take her, and when the time comes, we will go separately, and you take her back to the pavilion. I'll get rid of them and I'll go back to you. ”

"But ······" Minglong obviously disagreed with Jin Se's idea, and just wanted to open his mouth to argue, but was blocked by Jin Se.

"You are not as good as me. Believe I can go back alive. After listening to this, Minglong didn't argue with Jin Se again, but just glared at Jin Se deeply.

Jin Se exhaled, turned to Qingyan and said, "Qingyan, Minglong will take you away in a while, don't ask anything else." Be careful yourself. Qingyan didn't understand it at all:

"I'm leaving with Brother Minglong, Sister Chuchen, what should you do?" Jin Se suddenly looked at the simple little girl in front of him and wanted to laugh, but it was really inappropriate to laugh at this time, so he reached out and touched Qingyan's face:

"My sister went back to you."

As soon as the words fell, the voice of the eldest prince's entourage sounded outside the house:

"The people in the house came out!! If you don't come out right away, we'll set your house on fire!" ”

Minglong rolled his eyes, there was no new way to threaten. Turning to look at Jinse, Jinse nodded to him and motioned for them to go out. Minglong bowed his head to show that he understood, grabbed Qingyan's wrist with his hand, and protected Qingyan's thin body behind him.

Outside, the small thatched hut is surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, leaving only a place less than three feet at the door. Jin Se, Ming Long, and Qingyan stood outside the house. Looking up, there was a man riding a tall horse directly opposite the door, majestic. A pair of eyes were fixed on the three people in front of him, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth was playful.

"The girl from the beginning of the dust has not been seen for many days, how did she become what she is today?" A majestic and cold voice sounded, and among them was a majesty that could not be ignored, "Can't you be the Oiran of the Drunken Immortal Residence, and let the girl fall into such a situation." ”

Jin Se stood up straight and looked at the man who was talking lightly not far away, she raised her head without any humility or fear, but instead she pulled the corners of her mouth to the side, revealing a look of disdain:

"I'm just a little Oiran, and I can't afford to be a great prince. The eldest prince has turned the Drunken Immortal Residence into a scorched earth, and he still refuses to let me live? ”

After hearing this, the eldest prince Zhong Lishuo narrowed his eyes. This Oiran is really not simple, and it is just that there is no fear when he sees so many people, and he dares to speak out against himself. This made Zhong Lishuo very angry, but it also made him feel extremely novel. He had never had such a woman by his side, not even his mother, who had not sarcastically mocked him in such words.

"Miss Chuchen is really sharp. Now that the girl already knows that I have turned the Drunken Immortal Residence into a scorched earth, she naturally understands how I will treat her. Why don't the girl say something I want to know, and let the girl earn her life for herself and continue to live. Zhong Lishuo tightened the reins in his hand and continued to speak lightly.

"What the eldest prince said has a deep meaning. So, dare to ask the eldest prince what he wants to know? Jin Se continued to laugh, his hands clenched into fists, his fingertips slowly tightening. She tried her best to provoke the eldest prince. Only by making him angry will he let his subordinates around him do it, and only if they do it, Minglong and Qingyan can take advantage of the chaos to escape. But she can't say too harshly at one time, she must master the power between the words, step by step, and slowly touch the bottom line of the eldest prince, so that she can be completely sure.

"I think the girl should know very well." Zhong Lishuo said coldly. Jinse could already clearly feel his displeasure, but she was ready to add more force to his displeasure, making him completely angry. Jin Se smiled:

"The eldest prince doesn't want to know, is there anyone else who knows about your visit to Yangzhou? Or ······ The eldest prince didn't want others to know that Shangshu Zuocheng was killed by you. This sentence completely angered Zhong Lishuo, he clenched his teeth tightly, pulling the muscles in his cheeks to tense, he wrinkled his nose slightly, and squeezed out a word from between his teeth:

"Kill!"

The men beside him listened to the order and raised their swords aloft in their hands. Then Jin Se saw a crowd of people screaming and surrounding them from all sides. Jin Se turned sideways slightly, his eyes fixed on Zhong Lishuo, but he said to Ming Long:

"Take the smoke away!" After speaking, he leaned forward and went straight to Zhong Lishuo behind the crowd. Ming Long saw Jin Se's reaction and knew that she was trying to attract the attention of a large number of people so that he and Qingyan could escape, so he turned around and rushed in the opposite direction, adding a little force to his hand:

"Qingyan, hold on to me!" Before the little girl beside him could react to what was going on, she was pulled up by Minglong and ran up. Seeing that there were a few people with knives rushing towards them, Ming Long suddenly pulled out a soft sword tied like wire from his waist and rushed towards the people who were raised. Qingyan screamed in fright and hurriedly covered his eyes with his hands.

There was a warm liquid splashing on Qingyan's face, with a hint of fishy sweetness. Qingyan subconsciously touched it with his hand, and the bright red and bright color. It's blood. Before Qingyan could shout, he saw Minglong swinging the soft sword in his hand, constantly stabbing and slashing at the people around him.

His eyes were already red, but the hand holding Qingyan did not relax at all.

As if in a blink of an eye, Minglong had already fought a bloody path with green smoke, Minglong looked back at the enemies that were surging in, took the fingers of his right hand into his mouth, and blew out a sharp whistle. Suddenly, a black horse came out of nowhere, ran towards Minglong, and when Minglong passed, Minglong suddenly jumped up, sat firmly on the horse's back, pulled Qingyan's arm together, and dragged Qingyan onto the horse's back.

Minglong exerted force between his legs, and the horse suddenly raised its front hooves, let out a long roar, and went to the depths of the bamboo forest.

Zhong Lishuo pursed his lips tightly, looked at the direction of Minglong's escape, and said lightly to the entourage beside him:

"Chase!" After speaking, he lowered his eyebrows and looked at Jin Se, who was surrounded by layers not far in front of him, "This woman, I want to live." ”

The entourage beside him bowed slightly, clenched his fists, then turned to face his men who were fighting, raised his sword and pointed in the direction of Minglong's escape, and a team of men and horses immediately withdrew from the people who were fighting and chased in the direction pointed by the sword.
