"Then you can wait a little longer, they will bring someone."

Tao Xi casually picked up a glass of juice and took a sip, and sat there casually waiting for someone.

She was not in a hurry, but made the second prince a little surprised, he took a big sip of a bowl of wine, and asked:

"County Lord, aren't you afraid that I will go back on my word?"

"This is my territory."

Tao Xi played with the juice cup in front of him with his fingertips, "If the second prince wants to play tricks, it is nothing more than another captive."

Her understatement but confident words made the second prince's hand holding the wine glass pause slightly, and his expression was serious.

"The county lord seems to be a little overconfident."

"Really?"

Tao Xi smiled shallowly, and Qing Yu on one side sighed secretly, it was really a master's move, and it was all sword light and sword shadow.

The corners of Tao Xi's lips rose slightly, "If it weren't for this confidence, the fifth prince wouldn't have become a captive, right? Second Prince."

Her almost provocative words made the second prince almost crush the wine glass in his hand, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"That's the old five!"

"I'm afraid the fifth prince is going to be sad when he hears this, isn't he?"

Tao Xi raised his eyebrows and looked out along her line of sight, and the second prince saw the fifth prince standing at the door with a pale face.

And Jian Shiming and Gu Yan stood beside the fifth prince left and right, obviously not giving him any chance to escape.

"It turns out that in the second brother's heart, the main hall is a fool."

The second prince sneered mockingly, he hadn't seen him for a while, and he seemed to be much older.

During this time, he had been pondering about his father's abandonment of him, but the people he tortured were not like humans and ghosts.

"Fifth brother!"

The second prince stood up abruptly and approached him pretendingly, "Why are you so emaciated, did they torture you?"

After that, he glared at Tao Xi angrily, "Although my fifth brother is a captive, he is also the prince of Xuanyao Kingdom, is it too much for you to do this?"

"We don't have a penchant for mistreating captives."

Tao Xi also put down the juice cup in his hand, got up and walked towards Jian Shiming, and the other party also walked towards the fifth prince.

The second prince had grief in his eyes, "Fifth brother, I'm sorry, we're late."

"Second brother."

The fifth prince didn't look at him, his emotions were complicated, but his eyes also revealed a trace of truth.

Although he came a little late, they did not give up on him.

It's just that in the next second, the fifth prince's eyes widened, and it turned out that the dagger in the second prince's hand stabbed at him.

Gu Yan, who had expected it, directly grabbed the second prince's wrist, and the two quickly fought, and the person Tao Xi had arranged for a long time also stepped forward to subdue the second prince.

The people brought by the second prince also stepped forward to help, and the scene was a little chaotic for a while.

And Tao Xi and Jian Shiming stood in front of the fifth prince, and the fifth prince had a white face.

"You said that if you die here, is it a good thing for Xuan Yaoguo?"

Tao Xi's heart-piercing words made the fifth prince feel like a mourner, and he clenched his fists, "The county lord invited me here, shouldn't it be to watch such a scene?"

"Looks like you're not stupid."

Jian Shiming snorted, making the fifth prince's face even more ugly, and he gritted his teeth.

"Let's get to the point."

"We will send you out of Dafeng safely, and the ransom will not be less."

Tao Xi said the purpose, if the fifth prince died in Dafeng, it would undoubtedly give Xuanyao a reason to go to war.

At that time, Taoxi will really be empty of bamboo baskets.

But... It's different if the fifth prince is alive, since he knows the intentions of the second prince, the two sides will definitely fight after he goes back.

Taoxi and they not only got the ransom, but also lost the pressure of the barbarian invasion, killing two birds with one stone.

"It's as simple as that?"

The fifth prince was a little unconvinced, he always thought that Tao Xi had other purposes, because the ransom was nothing compared to his life.

Tao Xi rolled his eyes angrily, "Do you think about what else you can afford now?"

Fifth Prince: ......

was poked in the same foot by Tao Xi again, his angry heart hurts, can this woman be more bad?

"Okay, I promise you."

The fifth prince gritted his teeth and agreed, this is the best choice for him, if he dies in Dafeng, wouldn't it make his father and second brother happy?

Before the two reached an agreement, Gu Yan had already captured the person, and the second prince underestimated Tao Xi and Gu Yan, and his face was blue at this moment.

"You're really my good second brother."

The fifth prince sneered, and no longer looked at him, but found a place to sit down.

The second prince smiled wryly, "The main hall is just a joke with the fifth brother, don't take it to heart, county lord."

"Of course I don't take it to heart."

As soon as Tao Xi waved his hand, the people below opened the boxes brought by the second prince one by one, but fortunately he didn't dare to play tricks on this.

After all, if you don't take the silver, Tao Xi won't let him in.

"Take it away."

Qing Yu immediately ordered someone to carry the silver away, and watching the gold and silver being carried away, the second prince frowned in distress.

"No ......"

"The second prince won't go back on his word, I've brought everyone."

Tao Xi's words made the second prince freeze, and he could only admit it, but he didn't plan to take the gold back.

Father's meaning is that if he can't take it back, then he will let the fifth brother die in Dafeng, and he must not be allowed to go back to Xuanyaoguo to discredit him!

Even if he can't do it at this time, he will definitely not give up.

"Nothing."

Tao Xi was very satisfied with his denial, and the two accompanied them to dinner, and before leaving, Jian Shiming said a word.

"The lady has already arranged a place for you to live, and they are all served by special people, so you will leave Yunxian tomorrow."

Separated by a special person, this is not a chance to give the second prince a chance, he is angry enough, but the fifth prince is quite happy.

At least he knew that there would be no danger today, but after leaving Yun County, it was difficult to say.

The two were taken away separately, and Gu Yan scoffed, "For that position, it's better to be an ordinary person."

"Aren't we the same in Dafeng?"

Tao Xi knew that in ancient times, the nine sons had always been like this, so she had always adhered to the principle of self-preservation.

Gu Yan was choked and smacked his mouth speechlessly, "Sister-in-law is right, tonight is destined to be unstable, I'd better go and guard it."

"Okay."

Tao Xi didn't object, she and Jian Shiming went back to the county lord's mansion happily, and the two of them had a good rest.

But when he saw Gu Yan the next day, Jian Shiming couldn't help but complain, "Your eyes are all dark."

"It's not for Dafeng, the unlucky fifth prince was assassinated again."

Gu Yan only felt a headache, if he hadn't been worried about the county lord's mansion, he wouldn't have to bother so much.

"Hard work brother."

Jian Shiming expressed his understanding and let Qing Yu eat what Gu Yan liked, and Qing Yu and Tao Xi learned a few hands.

When she is not on the island on weekdays, she will personally prepare food for them, and Gu Yan is also worried about the food she makes.
