Tao Mingxi was looking at the scenery all the way, laughing with Zhu'er as he walked.

He didn't seem to notice the people behind him, and it wasn't until they came to a lake that Tao Mingxi stopped.

"I've been following all the way, I must be tired, why don't I come out to catch fish for a while, eat a barbecue, and then let's talk about the next thing." Tao Mingxi looked at the lake in front of him, and then said suddenly.

Zhu'er looked puzzled, she didn't know what Tao Mingxi was talking about, she looked left and right, and didn't find anyone else.

"Mother...... Childe, what are you talking about? Zhu'er asked a little puzzled.

Tao Mingxi didn't answer her words, but continued to talk to himself.

"I'm afraid that there is something unspeakable about the reluctance to show up, or is it not a good time for you to start? There is no need for a gentleman to hide in the back! ”

Zhu'er really didn't know what Tao Mingxi meant, and looked left and right, and then she didn't know where a few strong men came out.

Hearing the footsteps on the side, Zhu'er quickly turned her head to look over.

After seeing those strong men, she hurriedly retreated and protected Tao Mingxi behind her.

"Who are you? Why follow us? Do you know who we are? Zhu'er pretended to be very bold and asked the strong men.

At this time, the strong man who took the lead suddenly laughed, and then looked at Zhu'er.

"Little girl is really interesting, if we don't know who you are, why follow you, we are here for a purpose." The strong man laughed.

As soon as Zhu'er heard this, she became even more anxious, and she knew that she wouldn't listen to Tao Mingxi.

She should still bring a few guards or family members, now there are only two weak women, how to deal with these strong men?

"Niangniang, if they do it later, you can quickly jump into the lake and escape, there are pearls here, you can run as far as you can." Zhu'er said to Tao Mingxi in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

When I heard her say this, I was very moved, but I couldn't help laughing at her for being a stupid girl.

If these strong men really did it, how could he abandon her and run away alone?

"Tell me, who sent you?" This is Tao Mingxi stepped forward, protected Zhu'er behind him, looked at the strong men and asked.

When Zhu'er saw Tang Minxi protecting her behind her, her eyes suddenly widened, and the tears in her eyes couldn't be contained.

Princess, she is just a slave, where is she qualified to protect her.

"Even if I tell you, you don't have a chance to go back alive, so why bother?" This is another strong man said.

Tao Mingxi was not in a hurry, she just talked to them, because she had to know who sent them here, whether she could go back alive or not.

"Since you know I can't get back alive, why don't you tell me? Or are you scared? Tao Mingxi raised his eyebrows, looked at the strong men and asked.

Sure enough, she gently provoked, and one of the strong men couldn't help it.

He stepped forward and glared at Tao Mingxi.

"Afraid? It's really funny, I really don't know how to write the words I'm afraid of, I'll tell you clearly today, who sent us......"

"Second brother!"

Just as Wang Erwu was about to blurt out who sent him, the strong man in the lead suddenly stopped him.

Wang Erwu was a little unwilling, but he still looked at the face of the strong man who led the way and retreated.

"Don't say much, princess, now, there is nowhere to escape, it's better to follow us obediently, maybe you can still leave a life, if you really don't want to, then don't blame our brothers for being polite."

The strong man in the lead narrowed his eyes as he spoke, and the people behind him also entered a state of readiness.

However, it was obvious that Tao Mingxi didn't take a few of them in his eyes, but just looked at them coldly.

"Oh, is it? That is, if I don't go with you, what can you do? ”

After finishing speaking, he laughed with the strong man in the lead, and didn't say anything more, and directly picked up the guy and rushed towards the two of them.

At this moment, all the dark guards hiding around came out and scuffled with those strong men.

The scene was chaotic for a while, and the blood splattered everywhere, causing Zhu'er to scream again and again.

But Tao Mingxi on the side was very calm, and he didn't seem to be watching the killing, but watching an interesting performance.

It didn't take long for the strong men to be defeated, and more than half of the guards were killed or wounded.

It is conceivable that the strength of these strong men should not be underestimated, and just when Tao Mingxi relaxed his vigilance, the calm lake behind him suddenly burst into waves.

A hand that came out of nowhere grabbed her ankle violently, pulling her into the lake behind her.

Before she could think or make any movements, her body was submerged in the water.

After Zhu'er heard the movement, she quickly came back to her senses and saw that there was no longer Tao Mingxi's figure beside her, and the lake had not yet returned to calm at this time.

"Someone! Help me! The mother fell overboard. ”

Because Zhu'er can't swim, she can only stand on the shore and keep calling for help.

At this time, the comfort on the side also heard Zhu'er's cry for help, and in the process of fighting, they turned their heads to glance and saw that only Zhu'er was standing on the shore.

Those strong men saw that Tao Mingxi had fallen into the water, and at this time, those secret guards were also distracted, so they hurriedly retreated.

Seeing that those strong men were retreating, the dark guard did not go to chase after them, but hurriedly put away their weapons and jumped down one by one towards the lake not far away.

Pearl's splash of water on the shore soaked her clothes, and she couldn't do anything but circle on the shore in a hurry.

What to do? It's all his fault or he brought the family, if he had taken a good look at you just now, the princess and Niangniang, this kind of thing would not have happened.

I don't know how long it took for the lake to regain its calm, and everything around it, it seems. Nothing seemed to have happened except for the corpses lying on the ground.

Zhu'er has been staring at the lake closely, just hoping that someone can save Tao Mingxi.

But unfortunately, it didn't take long for the guards to show their heads one by one.

None of them found Tao Mingxi, and several of them looked at each other before diving into the water again.

At this time, Zhu'er was already disappointed, and she sat down on the grass by the lake, tears streaming down her face.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault, it's all my failure to take care of the princess."

After a while, all those comforts were still in vain, but they kept searching, because no matter what happened, they had to die, and they had to see people alive and corpses.
