The night on the mountain was extremely deserted, and the cool breeze was blowing in their ears, and the two of them went down the path in panic, for fear of attracting the attention of the robbers, and did not even dare to light a candle.

"The road is slippery here, you need to be careful!" Qi Junqing pinched her hand, and unconsciously, sticky sweat oozed from both of them.

Jiang Youjing was panting, but he didn't dare to slow down, "Don't worry, I'm not such a delicate person." "She had just escaped from the wolf's den, and she wished she could fly down the mountain, and the slippery road was nothing!

The two of them groped in the dark bushes together, and walked for a long time, but they still couldn't get out of this labyrinthine wood. There was a strong smell of smoke in the air, Jiang Hejing turned his head and couldn't help but pull the sleeves of the people beside him.

"It's over, it looks like someone is chasing after you!" She opened her mouth slowly, her voice trembling uncontrollably.

Before Qi Junqing could turn around, he heard a rush of footsteps coming from not far away, mixed with the man's rough shouts, and in an instant, a firelight seemed to illuminate the entire forest.

"Chase after Lao Tzu, I still don't believe it, how far can these two people run in the middle of the night!" The man's order suddenly came from the firelight, and in a few moments, the crowd quickly dispersed.

The two looked at each other, tacitly aware of the danger.

Qi Junqing raised his eyes to look at the sky, saw a few twinkling stars, and suddenly hugged him fiercely, "This king will lead that group of people away, you follow the direction of these stars down the mountain to find the prefect, and order him to send troops to rescue!" ”

After saying that, he let her go and wanted to go in the other direction.

"No, let's go together," Jiang Youjing shook his head violently and hugged him from behind, "Let's go faster, we will definitely be able to get rid of them!" ”

As he spoke, the torches in the distance came much closer.

Ruthlessly pulling away the arms wrapped around his body, Qi Junqing turned to look at her, "There are too many people on the other side, it won't take long to find us, while there is still some time, you hurry down the mountain!" ”

"I'm not leaving!" She shook her head like a rattle, knowing in her heart that the situation was critical, but still insisted on facing it with him.

Seeing that she was so persistent, Qi Junqing had no choice but to pinch her shoulders helplessly, "Their target is you, not this king, so this king will not be in danger for the time being, you be obedient, this king is waiting for you to bring someone!" ”

After speaking, he raised his hand and touched her face, but his hands were full of tears.

"I don't want to be a widow yet!" Jiang He said quietly, and then stubbornly don't go overboard. In this moment of tribulation and true love, she can't watch her man go on an adventure!

"If you are obedient and obedient, this king will be fine," he glanced into the distance, and his tone couldn't help but hurry, "It's up to you!" ”

As the group of people in the distance gradually approached, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, and Jiang Youjing wanted to speak again, but he gently pushed him. After a moment, she covered her mouth and ran to the east, not forgetting to leave a sentence of "take care" before leaving.

I'm afraid that if I stay a little longer, neither of them will have a choice.

The red figure soon disappeared into the depths of the woods, Qi Junqing nodded with relief, how could he be willing to let her be a widow? Seeing the tumultuous crowd approaching, he jerked towards the other end.

The wind swept the branches around him, and in an instant, the group of people quickly headed towards him, "Where are the people, I have captured both of them!" ”

Qi Junqing's pupils suddenly became extremely deep, and the corners of his mouth flew into the depths of the forest with the corners of his mouth.

At the same time, Jiang and Jingzheng trotted down the mountain without looking back, Xu is mind was extremely clear in a hurry, and it didn't take long to reach the foot of the mountain. But seeing that the night was verdant, the surroundings were deserted, and a few vultures occasionally flew by in the air, she had no intention of thinking about where to go, so she simply chose the most spacious road.

After entering the city, I finally saw three or two people who got up early to set up shops. With the help of passers-by, Jiang Youjing came to the county office.

"Who's you! The drums beat to death in the middle of the night! Hurry up and get out, the adults have already rested. The guard yawned and yelled at her impatiently.

As if she hadn't heard the man's scolding, she still held the drum and beat it vigorously, and the "dong dong" drum reverberated several times on the long street. The servant finally couldn't take it anymore, and walked to her side with a cane, then rubbed his palm and blew hard into it.

"Where did the village girl dare to go up here to spread wild, if you don't leave, don't blame me, you're welcome!" The man glared at her angrily, and from time to time came out of his mouth filthy and vulgar words.

The grievance turned into sour water and went straight to the upper throat, Jiang Youjing slammed the drumstick in his hand to the ground, and shouted angrily while holding the placket of the servant's clothes: "I dare to be so presumptuous without looking at who I am!" "The current official is about to run away from the sky!

She took the token that Qi Junqing handed over to her from her waist as she spoke, shook it, stood it in front of the man, and said, "See clearly, don't you take me in now?" ”

The officer, who was still imposing, saw the pattern on the token clearly, and was busy with a smile on his face, "Please!" He only knew that the person in front of him was not small, and if he didn't hurry in, he was afraid that he would lose his job!

In less than half an hour, the county government was brightly lit.

The man who was over half a hundred years old stroked his mustache and looked at the woman in front of him in a wedding dress, the expression on his face was unpredictable, and after a long time, he shook his lips and asked, "You said that you are the princess, but there is evidence?" Looking at the gray-faced woman again, he had even more doubts in his heart.

The corners of Jiang Youjing's mouth hooked up a sneer, "Can Lord Liu recognize this?" With that, he threw Fang Cai's token on his desk.

Seeing things is like seeing people, but anyone with an official position knows what identity that token represents.

"If something happens to the prince because of your refusal to send troops, you can afford it!" Without waiting for him to reply, she spoke again.

Governor Liu rubbed the pattern on the token with his fingertips, and his expression froze for a moment, as if he had seen something holy, and immediately knelt down, "I don't have eyes and beads below, and I can't distinguish in time, so I will send someone to go up the mountain with the princess." ”

At this point, Jiang Youjing breathed a sigh of relief, "That's how good it is!" ”

When the rooster crowed, everyone went up the mountain against the thick fog, and walked along the route she had taken down the mountain earlier, and finally reached the place where the two of them were separated, but there was no half a figure around. She looked down suspiciously, saw a few unburned torches, and everyone followed the remaining torches to the bandits' den.

When he saw Qi Junqing who was tied to a long log, Jiang Hejing clenched his fists and shouted at the group of people at the table: "Bold thief, don't release him quickly!" ”

The leader of the big man was stunned when he heard this, and slammed the bowl in his hand to the ground: "Stinky woman, we haven't found you yet, you came back by yourself first!" "People who eat and drink come up one after another.

The red lantern hung high swayed gently in the wind, shaking off a glimmer of light.

Jiang Youjing raised his arm, and the people of the county government rushed out with bows and arrows in hand. When the other party saw that there was an ambush, he immediately panicked and stopped to watch.

"I didn't expect you stinky woman to dare to take someone up the mountain," the man who threw the bowl said angrily, his expression slightly panicked and incredulous, "Don't forget that person is still in our hands, if you don't want him to die, you guys will roll down the mountain!" ”

Even so, his hand holding the knife trembled. The big boss is not there, and now these officers and soldiers are here, I am afraid that if one is not careful, the entire village will be served by the government.

When Jiang Hejing heard this, he hurriedly raised his hand to signal the officers and soldiers behind him to stop, and then said to the man: "Life is in your own hands, now I will give you two choices, either return the grain and grass to the people inside, or let's fight and stain this village with blood!" ”

As soon as these words came out, there was silence all around.

Anyone who can carry it clearly knows that the number of officers and soldiers is far greater than the number of bandits, and even if they fight hard, the bandits in this stockade may not necessarily end up with any benefits.

"Think clearly, you still have an old mother, wife and children at home!" Jiang and Jing saw that the people opposite each other were hesitant and added. She still didn't believe it, these people were so cold that they didn't even care about their own families.

About half a pillar of incense had passed before the bandits responded.

"We will release the people and return your food and grass, but you have to ensure that the officers and soldiers do not invade us!" The leader of the man threw out the conditions, after all, this village was created by them step by step, how could it be ruined like this! Besides, the men in the village are all old and young, and they are not afraid of death, but the pillars of the family have fallen!

For this reason, they don't have the courage to fight.

Jiang Hejing bowed slightly, took a step back, and the officers and soldiers also retreated when they saw this, the surroundings were still silent, and everyone who knew it knew that this battle would not be successful.

"I promise you, let the people go!" She pointed her sword at a house not far away. The three or two bandits returned to the house together, and when they came out, one of them was still in custody.

Half-squinting, Jiang Hejing tightened the hilt of the sword in his hand, and almost didn't shed tears on the spot.

A glimmer of light flashed in Qi Junqing's eyes on the other side, and his jet-black pupils moved, revealing a look of approval. She deserves to be his good princess!

Not long after, several carts of grain and grass were also brought out.

"People and things are here, you retreat first," the bandit put the knife on Qi Junqing's neck and spat a few mouthfuls in his mouth, "I do what I say, you let the officers and soldiers go first!" ”

Jiang Youjing turned around and ordered people to go down first, but fortunately, the forest below was deep, and it was dark night, and it was not easy for the officers and soldiers to be discovered by the bandits when they were hidden in the forest.

After both sides were ready, Qi Junqing was pushed over. The bandits led by him immediately closed the door of the stockade, and did not forget to curse a few words of indignation.

"Are you hurt?" Jiang Youjing examined him from top to bottom, and was a little relieved to see that there was no blood.

Qi Junqing rubbed her long hair like a waterfall and said, "It's okay, you did a good job today!" ”

The two talked as they walked, and when they reached the bottom of the mountain, they saw Governor Liu waiting by the carriage.

"Xiaguan to see the prince," seeing that both of them were embarrassed, the prefect proposed again, "It's better for the prince and the princess to go back to Liangcheng County first, and the lower official will let you take care of it, "It's not too late to talk about it tomorrow!" ”
