Chu Nian raised his head, raised his eyebrows, and touched the short blade on his waist without a trace: "What do you mean by this, master?" ”

The Tongling laughing eyes were falling on Chu Nian's face at this moment, and he seemed to have recovered a little bit of vitality, but it also exuded an inexplicable meaning, Chu Nian was thinking about whether he could beat the person in front of him, and how to escape from the cottage after beating this person, these were all planned, and he heard a burst of laughter from the other side.

"Hahaha, the county lord is really too careful, what else can we bandits want? At most, it is money and women, but there are many brothers in the village, and if you want to meet the needs of all your brothers, the county lord is afraid that it will take some effort. ”

At this moment, those eyes were looking up and down on Chu Nian's body unscrupulously, with a faint and inexplicable meaning in his eyes, Chu Nian's face sank, and the short blade under his hand had been pulled out, and then, one turned over, and the short blade was already against the throat of the village master.

The owner of the village didn't seem to expect Chu Nian to dare to make a move, and his body suddenly froze, and Chu Nian took advantage of the loophole, at this stall, a low female voice came from his ears: "If the owner of the village wants to trade with me, then I don't care if you come to see me in person, but if the owner of the village is not sincere in trading with me, it is just Wang Zixuan, without him, I can still deal with the Queen Mother." ”

The village lord's body did not move, and his head turned to Chu Nian at a strange angle, with a hint of sarcasm between his thick eyebrows and big eyes: "The unequaled county lord is really his true temperament." ”

Chu Nian smiled slightly, and the short blade under his hand tightened a few points again: "Let me ask again, what exactly does the owner of the village want?" ”

The villager's eyes were lifeless again, and he seemed to laugh lowly, looking at the rough appearance of laughter but so gloomy, it really made people feel inexplicably awkward.

"Originally, I only planned to ask for five hundred taels of silver, but now, I still want to add a beautiful woman, does the county lord think it is appropriate?"

Chu Nian's eyes were slightly gloomy, and after a while, the short blade under her hand was put away, and she glanced at the owner of the village with a complicated look: "Probably the negotiation failed, and the owner of the village stayed." ”

After that, she turned around and walked towards the door, and at this stall, the voice of the owner of the village sounded again, and it seemed to be faintly angry: "Lord Wushuang, do you think that if I don't agree, you can get out of Sanhua Cottage alive?" ”

Chu Nian's footsteps paused, and after a while, she looked back, and her eyes were cold: "Could it be that Your Excellency is really a bandit?" If the transaction fails, you will simply deduct people? ”

She didn't doubt the authenticity of the words of the owner of Sanhua Village, and now she was a lamb who had accidentally broken into the wolves, and what was waiting for her was to bite off her throat with an order.

The number of bandits outside is enough thousands, she doesn't guarantee that she can really fight her way out of the encirclement, even if she really fights out of the encirclement, she is afraid that she will not be able to open the gate, she should ask Liu Er, where is the entrance to the underground passage.

Seeing Chu Nian's stopped, the owner of Sanhua Village smiled with satisfaction, "I was originally a bandit, what is there to fool around?" Today, I won't tell the county lord what to do, the county lord might as well stay in the village and think about it for a few days, if it doesn't work in a few days......"

The master of Sanhua Village squinted his eyes slightly, and then several strong men stepped forward and slapped Chu Nian's dagger with one hand, and the other tightly tied Chu Nian's wrist.

Chu Nian didn't struggle, on the enemy's territory, resisting would only hasten her own death, she glanced at the owner of Sanhua Village with deep meaning, and was pressed by several strong men towards the door.

I met a lot of people along the way, including Liu Er, who went and returned, he stood in the crowd in surprise and watched Chu Nian being tied up by several strong men, and after a while, as if he had made a decision, he turned around and drowned himself in the crowd.

Chu Nian was taken to a separate small building, this small building seemed to be a cell, the room was well furnished, but the door was still made of wooden railings, and even the windows were wooden railings, through the gaps in the railings, there was sunlight shining on the blankets on the ground.

A mere cell is better than the house where the bandit leader lives.

Chu Nian looked back at the soft bed, and sat down at the end, since he came, he was safe, and if he couldn't run, he would find a way to live well, and the boat would naturally go straight to the bridge......

"County Lord, County Lord? It's me! Liu Er! ”

Chu Nian's eyelids that were already fighting had just closed, and she heard a whispered call, she opened her eyes and looked over, and saw Liu Er standing at the door mysteriously, not forgetting to look around carefully.

"County Lord, what's wrong, why are you locked up?"

Chu Nian raised his eyebrows: "If you fail to negotiate with your boss, what are you doing here, aren't you afraid that your boss will punish you?" ”

Liu Er's face was a little sad, "I didn't say it, since a few years ago, our boss has become different, and this time when we left the cottage, only the boss was not quite right, but I recently found that the whole village has become wrong." ”

Chu Nian was interested, she got up, walked to the door, and said curiously: "You mean, the people in the entire village are different from before?" ”

Liu Er was very annoyed: "Yes, whether it is the eldest brother or the brothers, it was not such a lifeless appearance, a long time ago, we were also drinking and eating meat together, recently the eldest brother somehow became elegant, I just went to see the second brother, only to find that the second brother actually began to read." ”

A whole den of bandits, and they all started to read?

Chu Nian raised his eyebrows slightly, this is really abnormal, even more abnormal than Li Le not wearing red clothes one day.

A flash of inspiration flashed in her eyes, and then she raised her head and looked at Liu Er meaningfully: "In this way, we can still make a deal between the two of us......

In the early morning of the next day, Chu Nian had just eaten the dinner sent by the bandits, and was lying on the couch leisurely, looking at the bed curtain above his head in a daze, and then he heard the voice of the lord of Sanhua Village on the side: "The county lord is really good Yaxing, the night has passed, can the county lord think about it?" ”

Chu Nian looked at the sturdy black shadow outside the railing slightly, but slightly hooked the corners of his lips and said: "Five hundred taels is no problem, but I really can't do it if I am asked to harm the daughter of the people's family for the sake of a prince Xuan, and I am a little suspicious now, the owner of the village is so difficult for me, he simply knows that I will not agree to this condition, so he deliberately raised this matter to provoke me, just to lock me up here." ”

The eyes of the people outside the railing flashed slightly, and they chuckled: "I didn't expect this to be seen by the Wushuang County Lord." Wait, but my patience is running out. ”

With that, he turned to leave, leaving Chu Nian to look at the air through the gap in the railing, frowning.

After a few more days, the owner of the village would come to visit Chu Nian once a day, and every time it was the same problem, however, the number of women in the conditions was increasing, Chu Nian was suspicious, and it was not until late at night that the secret guards were brought in by Liu Er.

Liu Er first took the key he didn't know where to get it and carefully opened the door for Chu Nian, before he walked in, and said with a pleading face: "County Lord, you promised that the little ones wouldn't hurt my eldest brother's life, right?" I, Liu Er, have never done anything good in my life, but I have inherited too much kindness from my eldest brother, and if they lose their lives, I Liu Er will not dare to survive......"

Chu Nian half-lowered his eyes and sighed helplessly: "I need to find out the cause of the matter before I can come up with a solution, don't worry, as long as I can save their lives, I will definitely not hurt a single hair of their hair." ”

Liu Er knelt down in front of Chu Nian and kowtowed, and at this stall, Dark San came in from outside: "Lady, this place is well arranged, why don't we arrange our cell according to this?" ”

Chu Nian glanced at him helplessly, and at this stall, he saw Liu Er wiping his tears and stood up and said: "By the way, county lord, I have also found some news in the past few days, some of the brothers in our village have daughters-in-law, and the daughter-in-law has disappeared several times, and her whereabouts are still unknown, and the same is true for the second brother, his daughter-in-law and daughter are gone, but I don't know why, no one has made a public announcement." ”

Chu Nian frowned slightly, the woman is gone?

After pondering for a while, she nodded towards Liu Er: "I know, you go back to rest, and we will leave the rest." ”

After that, she looked at Dark Three: "What about Dark One?" ”

Dark San glanced down at Liu Er, and said honestly: "They are looking at the wind downstairs, lady, where do we start to investigate?" ”

Chu Nian frowned slightly, half-lowered her eyes and fell into contemplation, and after a while, she looked sideways at Liu Er: "Do you know what forbidden areas are in the village?" ”

Liu Er glanced at Chu Nian ignorantly, and after a while, he said as if he remembered something: "The northeast corner, there is a courtyard in the northeast corner, the eldest brother once ordered that no one is allowed to approach that courtyard, and last time a little brother inadvertently approached the courtyard only a few steps away, and was ordered to be killed by the eldest brother!" ”

Chu Nian's eyes lit up, and he nodded slightly towards Liu Er and said, "Okay, I know, you can go back." ”

After that, she raised her legs and walked towards the door, and Dark San followed, Liu Er stood in place and thought for a while, his eyes showed a bit of determination, and he also followed.

A few people took advantage of the night to avoid the patrolling bandits, and walked towards the northeast corner, which was really dark, and there were no lights in the courtyard.

Fortunately, the eyes of several people gradually adapted to the darkness, and the outline of things could still be seen clearly. ”

Chu Nian frowned, turned his eyes, and sure enough, Liu Erzheng was sneakily hiding in a shadow not far away.

Sighing helplessly, Chu Nian said to the dark three: "You go and tell him, let him go and see the situation of their village master, if their village owner sleeps, ask him to come and tell us." ”

Dark San answered, then turned around and walked towards Liu Er, and Chu Nian looked at the courtyard in front of him intently.

The courtyard was surrounded by a white wall, too high to see what was going on, and a mahogany gate in the middle, also closed, with a ring full of dust, as if no one had set foot here for a long time.

Chu Nian smiled slightly, he glanced back at the dark guards behind him, nodded slightly, and saw Dark Four take a step forward, follow a big tree by the wall, and quietly turn into the courtyard.
