Ming Xiu glanced at Chu Nian with a complicated expression, and at the end, he breathed a sigh of helplessness, "When can you marry me, I can rest assured." ”

Chu Nian couldn't help but chuckle, but at this time, there was a panting voice outside, "Oh no, Your Highness, lady, your subordinates go to the toilet, the dark three of them all fell into illusion, and Xia Zi's father and daughter were arrested!" ”

When these words fell, the two people in the carriage were stunned, and then, they saw Ming Xiu get out of the carriage with an expressionless face, Chu Nian followed, and when he saw the two coming down, he hurriedly led the two towards the dense forest behind him.

This forest is on the edge of Wucheng, and there are all kinds of wild fruits and mushrooms in the forest, and there is a small stream that meanders to the center of Wucheng. The other three secret guards fell on the edge of this stream, and there were some messy footprints on the ground, and Xia Zi and his daughter did not know where to go.

Chu Nian frowned and looked at the three secret guards who fell to the ground, his subordinates pinched their hand prints, and soon, the three dark guards sat up with blank eyes.

"Your Highness, lady's ......" Dark San held his aching forehead and looked up at Chu Nian, and after a while, he reacted with annoyance: "Go, I've been tricked again!" ”

Seeing this, Chu Nian couldn't help but smile and stretched out his hand to help him up, but he also had a certain number in his heart. She turned her eyes and glanced at Ming Xiu, and saw Ming Xiu's thin lips pursed and said, "It seems that we still have to explore this barbarian prince's mansion." ”

……

At night, Prince Wu's mansion was very lively, Prince Wu was busy entertaining guests, and his eldest son was standing beside him, with a handsome face that was somewhat similar to Wuchen, but his face was expressionless, and his eyes were blank.

Prince Wu took advantage of his leisure time to turn his eyes to look at his eldest son, "Ah Luo, where has Ah Chen gone?" ”

The eldest son looked up at his father with an expressionless face, and shook his head very honestly, "It seems that he brought back two new servants during the day, and then disappeared. ”

Prince Wu frowned without a trace, and at this time, a sturdy man wearing a rich beard walked over, and Prince Wu hurriedly responded with a smile on his face, "General! ”

"Lord Wang, congratulations!"

There will also be a quiet corner in the midst of the bustle, and at this moment, Ming Xiu and Chu Nian are in this silent corner, looking at the group of barbarian upper-level people who are smirking in and out, both of them are indifferent. Until a big tree on the side came the sound of the dust wandering.

"I knew you were coming."

Chu Nian looked sideways slightly, and saw a young man sitting lazily on the trunk of the thick plane tree on the side, he narrowed his smiling eyes slightly, and held a wine jug in his hand, "How about it, I'll just say that my house is very lively, right?" Today is just a private banquet for all the guests of my family, and when my brother gets married tomorrow, it will definitely be even more lively. ”

At this moment, Ming Xiu's face was still not very good-looking, he looked around, and finally fell on Xia Zi, who was busy as a maid in the crowd, his eyes narrowed slightly.

As if noticing Ming Xiu's gaze, Wuchen easily fell from the tree to the ground, and then walked calmly to Chu Nian's side, "I just saw that she seemed to be able to take care of people, so I asked if I wanted to stay and be a personal maid for me, and I would definitely not lose her." ”

Chu Nian raised her eyebrows slightly, "What about her father?" ”

"Her father ......" Wuchen looked at Chu Nian innocently, "I can't use a man to serve me." ”

At this time, the little hand was pinched a little tighter, Chu Nian looked back, and saw that the person was looking at a certain place in the crowd with far-reaching eyes, and she also looked over, and saw a familiar figure.

It is the lord of Rucheng. At this moment, he was holding a wine glass and talking to someone, surrounded by an absent-minded Ushla, who often smiled and pulled her to talk to, but she was full of reluctance, and those who were forced to face her could only respond with an embarrassed smile.

There was cold air coming from his side, Chu Nian suddenly remembered the wanted notice he saw on the street yesterday, so he pinched the big palm in his palm with a smile, but Wuchen on the side said as if he couldn't feel anything: "That's my uncle," he said, he unceremoniously pulled Chu Nian's wrist, "Let's go, I'll take you to say hello to him...... Hiss! ”

Ming Xiu on the side suddenly stretched out his big palm and slashed the dishonest hand that was pulling Chu Nian's wrist, and then heard Wuchen cry out in pain, turned his eyes and said angrily: "Why are you still beating people?" ”

But it was Ming Xiu who completely ignored the noisy black dust, and instead raised Chu Nian's wrist and rubbed it vigorously in the palm of his hand as if he was wiping something dirty.

Wuchen was so angry that he jumped to his feet, Chu Nian helplessly looked at Ming Xiu, who suddenly became childish in front of him, but he heard a scream on the side.

The three of them were distracted in an instant, and they saw a commotion in the crowd on the side, and Natsuko with a plate was pushed to the ground, and the wine and porcelain in the plate were shattered, and the culprit was the eldest lady Ushla, who was pinching her waist at the moment, looking at Natsuko on the ground with angry eyes.

"Where are those two cool people!"

As soon as these words came out, the four were shocked, and the lord of Wucheng was pulling his impulsive daughter with an embarrassed face and preparing to leave, but obviously Ushra didn't want to leave, she stood in the middle of the crowd, holding a leather whip in her hand, and she was about to throw it on Xia Zi's body.

At this time, he saw that Wuchen had arrived at Ushra's side at some point, and as soon as he grasped the leather whip that was about to be thrown down, his face was full of anger.

"Cousin! This is my personal maid! ”

Ushra looked at Wuchen's handsome face, and she seemed to be a little aggrieved: "Cousin! Do you know that this woman even united with two Da Liang people to bully me a few days ago! How did you become your personal maid! ”

This farce soon attracted Prince Wu, seeing the conflict between his son and niece, Prince Wu glared at Wuchen with hatred and steel, and then turned his eyes to see Xia Zi on the ground.

"Dust, what's going on?"

Wuchen, who was still majestic just now, immediately seemed to see a cat's mouse, and his subordinates slowly let go of Ushra's whip, and said with a stiff face: "This is my newly acquired maid, and I don't know how to bump into my cousin, and my cousin is going to beat me when she comes up, and she doesn't leave me any affection." ”

Ushra was even more aggrieved, "How do I know that my cousin took my enemy as a maid!" Besides, it's just a maid, my cousin actually murdered me for a maid! ”

The Wucheng Lord on the side was very embarrassed, he had already seen Xia Zi's figure, and naturally he had already recognized it, but he didn't see the two Da Liang people, he planned not to startle the snake first, just wait for the banquet to end and then send someone to investigate, as long as the father and daughter are here, the two Da Liang people will definitely not be too far away.

But right now, everything seems to be messed up by his own daughter.

Prince Wu was quite calm, he knew that the girl in front of him had always been pampered, and he probably couldn't believe what he said, so he looked at his second son again, "Who is this girl?" Worthy of your protection? Also, what's going on with the big cool people? ”

Xia Zi looked at Wuchen innocently, and there seemed to be a faint hint of prayer in his eyes, today their father and daughter asked the Wucheng Lord to find out, if Wuchen confessed Ming Xiu and Chu Nian, I was afraid that it would be a big trouble.

And no one on the side noticed that the two people under the tree were looking at Wuchen in the field with their eyes flashing, and Wuchen was full of reluctance, facing the inquiring eyes of everyone present, he showed a bit of stubbornness, "This girl was picked up by me from outside, and I haven't met any cool people at all." ”

When these words fell, they understood the meaning of protecting Xia Zi in Wuchen's words, and everyone present looked at Wuchen's eyes with profound meaning, only Prince Wu, looking at his second son who was absent-minded in his speech, his eyes were full of hatred for iron and steel.

At the end, he let out a long sigh, "Take this maid down, don't let others continue to watch your jokes!" ”

Wuchen's eyes flashed slightly, but he didn't speak, he bent down, stretched out his hand to help Xia Zi on the ground, and whispered, "Can you still go?" ”

Xia Zi nodded obediently, and saw Wuchen let go of his hand, and let Xia Zi, who had broken his foot, limp towards the backyard.

Seeing that Xia Zi was still protected by her cousin, Ushla became more and more angry, she looked up at the Wucheng Lord beside her, and said coquettishly: "Daddy, that woman must know where those two Da Liang people are, but you said it, if you find those two Da Liang people, you will give me that man as my husband!" ”

Seeing the pointing and pointing looks around him, the city lord of Wu couldn't help but blush, and hurriedly pulled his daughter and whispered: "Let's go and beg your cousin later, there are so many people today, let's stop first?" ”

Seeing this, although Ushra was still a little unwilling, he had to nod his head and give up, and a farce dissipated, only the silence in the corner where no one was paying attention, and the two people under the tree stared, and after a while, they turned around and walked into the small door on the side.

Chu Nian and Ming Xiu came to the backyard according to the map given by Wuchen, Xia Zi happened to walk into a hut that looked not too good but could also keep warm, at this moment the hut was rising smoke, Chu Nian and the two walked in with their legs up, Xia Zi was sitting on the couch with a bitter face, and her father on the side was preparing ointment for her.

Seeing Chu Nian and Ming Xiu, the father and daughter were obviously happy, and they saw the shopkeeper come forward. "Your Highness, County Lord, it's great that you're okay!"

Chu Nian raised her eyebrows slightly, looking at the ointment and gauze in the shopkeeper's hand, she let out a long sigh, then stretched out her hand to grab it, and immediately walked to Xia Zi's side, "I'll do this kind of thing, let's come here, just to see if you have as good as Wuchen said." ”

The two father and daughter glanced at each other, Xia Zi's little face was slightly red and looked at Chu Nian, who was half-squatting and personally administering medicine to her sick leg, "Although the prince does not treat us as well as His Royal Highness and the county lord, it can be regarded as benevolent and righteous, and my father and I just want a place to stay, and we are already very content to be so luxurious now." ”

Chu Nian glanced at the furnishings around him, and sure enough, although it was not a good object, the things that Wuchen gave Xia Zi were indeed much better than a normal personal maid, and it was still a little worse than when their father and daughter opened their own tavern before, but in the end, it was still too dangerous for this "weak" father and daughter.

She turned her eyes to look at the shopkeeper on the side, and saw that the shopkeeper seemed to be a little embarrassed and said: "The prince said that there was no position for me, so he opened the housekeeper in his yard and asked me to take care of his own courtyard for him. ”
