Lu Anran seemed to have made a hasty decision, but in fact, he had read the geographical records of Diqiu before, recalled the terrain in his mind, and circled the approximate range of this forest.

There are forests on three sides, and she doesn't know how big the area covered by the iron fence is, but she is sure that even if there were no beasts in the first place, there must be them now, she can't outrun the animals, and the only way to survive is in the right south direction.

Turning right to the south, the mountain is high and rugged, with the cliff as the border, but she remembers that there is a path on the edge of the cliff, leading to a line of sky, which can stop the beasts.

Lu Anran wiped the sweat stains from his forehead and looked up, a large number of branches crossed to block the sky, and only occasionally a small piece of blue sky could be seen, and the sunlight gradually tilted.

Waiting until dark is the most dangerous time in the mountains and forests.

The pace became heavier, and her mood was not easy in comparison, but what made her wonder why there was no movement of the beast along the way.

Although it is a fortunate thing for now, the danger lurks around her, and it is full of unknowns, which makes her deeply uneasy.

Just as he was thinking, there was the sound of hand-to-hand combat somewhere in the woods, accompanied by a roar, the shaking trees shook, and the air suddenly tensed.

She didn't know what was going on, but it didn't stop her from avoiding that place without hesitation, preferring to take a detour rather than look out with curiosity.

It's just that she can't avoid it after all, because the next moment, a person appeared in front of her.

The man was stout and tall, his clothes were tattered and slightly ragged in a few places, his hair was loose in a bun, his hair was like straw, his hands were stained with blood, and then his eyes were shining fiercely, like hungry wolves and poisonous snakes.

"Hahaha, where did you come from a little girl who doesn't have long eyes." He spoke, his voice thick and powerful, with a ferocity.

Lu Anran's fingers pulled his fist fiercely, raised his eyes to meet them, and unexpectedly found that in the mottled light and shadow, the beard of the person in front of him seemed to be reflected red.

A name jumped out - Redbeard Qiuba.

The man who had just fought with the beast was indeed Redbeard, and his life had not been easy since the cottage was served by the prince. The last time he finally escaped, but because he was seriously injured, he didn't have time to leave the forest, so he could only hide in the mountains to recuperate.

After a few days, when he was about to leave, the beasts came back somehow, and the weapon in his hand was gone, so he could only fight naked and hand-to-hand, although he was subdued by brute force, but the wound cracked open, and now the situation is very bad.

Lu Anran lowered his eyes and said quietly: "Are you here to hunt in the forest?" I am a nearby resident, and I got lost in the woods by mistake, waiting for my family to come and look for me. ”

The red-bearded Qiu Ba stared at it for a long time, and when Lu Anran thought he believed it, he suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Lu Anran's neck with one hand, and said viciously: "Lao Tzu is not blind, don't say that your dress and accent don't look like a local at all, how can an ordinary woman be so calm when she meets Lao Tzu in the wild." ”

Lu Anran raised his eyelids, his dark eyes met him, and he released a trace of weakness: "I did get separated from my family in the forest, if you have noticed, when you see that there is an arrow before the signal, it is the contact information between me and my family." ”

The woman's skin was soft and silky, the two fingers of the red beard were slightly forced, and the neck was already pinched red and swollen, he came close and sniffed it, and the corners of his mouth slowly cracked a malicious smile, "The young lady of the rich family is so fragrant." ”

Lu Anran felt that his hand restraining him was like a poisonous vine, climbing all the way up from his neck, stopping somewhere, and forcefully tearing off the mask on her face, and the stunned look of the red beard was reflected in her clear eyes.

"Wow, why are you an ugly bastard."

Lu Anran was slammed to the ground, with dead branches and rotten leaves all over his face, and he was not happy in his heart, but sank to the bottom like a scale.

As if in order to match her thoughts, Redbeard pulled her coat and threw it over, covered her head tightly, licked the corners of her mouth, and smiled very obscenely, "As the saying goes, any woman is the same with a lamp, Lao Tzu will try this new way of playing today." "After all, the rich lady is pampered, and her whole body is fair, clean and pure.

"The prince is leading thousands of people to surround him, and you still have half an hour to escape, do you really want to spend it on this?" Lu Anran lifted his coat full of smell, suppressed his fear in the deepest depths, and his black eyes looked calm and dark, "If you want to be a romantic ghost for a while, or escape, how many beauties outside are within reach, it's all in your thoughts." ”

Redbeard's hand untied his trousers, and he squinted his eyes to reveal a fierce light, "Stinky girl, I believe in your evil." ”

Lu Anran knew that there was no evidence, but she had nothing else on her body except a few medicine bags and a cloth bag filled with various silver needles and lancets.

Rubbing his fingers over the medicine bag and the knife, he thought about the chance of poisoning with the powder or resisting with a knife.

Redbeard walked over, pinched Lu Anran's chin with his right hand and raised it, his face did not hide his ferocity and greed at all, "Lao Tzu is not stupid, Zi Sang Jin is eager to catch Lao Tzu, and he will never send you to such a stinky girl who has not dried up." ”

Lu Anran took a painful breath, his fingers didn't know that he happened to touch something, and when the thick palm of the red beard covered it, he held it and raised his arm, "With my identity as the criminal department." ”

Redbeard turned his head and snatched the token in his hand to look at it, "Punishment Division? ”

Lu Anran lowered his head and coughed a few times, his voice became a little hoarse, "You must already know that Yaksha kills people, this time we cooperated with the prince to search in the forest, not only to investigate the case, but also to arrest you." ”

"With your little pretence?"

"I'm still a student of Jixia Palace."

"So what?"

"I can tell you how to avoid arrest and get out of here."

Redbeard didn't speak, and looked at Lu Anran with a pair of eyes like a fierce wolf, thinking about the truth and falsehood of her words.

He is a villain and a bandit, notoriously fierce and ruthless, but the reason why he has survived to this day is not only ruthless, but also because of his sharp mind and decisiveness.

"How many people did Zi Sangjin bring, how to search and arrest, and how much scope to draw."

Lu Anran opened his mouth, "The prince personally led 500 people to search for it head-on, and the other two sides were more than 300 each, bounded by the watershed, less than ten miles away from here, if you move faster, I'm afraid it will take less than half an hour." Also, I'm afraid you don't know, Dongyue Zhenren has long calculated that you are hiding here, so the periphery is blocked by iron nets, and it is a matter of time before you are caught, and it will be difficult for you to fly with your wings. ”

Half-truths and half-truths, but her tone was cautious, and Redbeard stared at her eyes, unable to see any trace of emptiness.

"Then how did you end up here?"

Lu Anran half-lowered his eyes, "I offended a young lady from a family, she lured me into an iron net, wanting to let the beast attack me. ”

Redbeard sneered: "If you let Lao Tzu know that you lied to me, you will definitely be worse off than dead!" ”

This is a compromise.

Lu Anran held his breath for too long, and when he heard this, he slowly took a breath, felt rust between his breaths, pinched his palms, made himself as stable as possible, raised his eyes, his eyes were clear, and said slowly: "Attacking from three sides, there is only one way out." ”

—

The prince led people to chase the location where the arrow came from, but he was blocked by an iron net, and wondered: "Where did the net come from?" ”

After checking it, his subordinates said, "Prince, this net seems to be new. ”

Now is not the time to pursue this, so he immediately decided: "Tear down a piece and chase it in to have a look." ”

The subordinate said: "Maybe it was done by a nearby hunter, but this net has done us a great favor, and if Redbeard accidentally breaks into the net, it will not be easy to escape." ”

The crown prince felt justified, "Send a few people to guard here, and the others will go with the palace." ”

After walking a short distance, the prince heard something coming from ahead, and he was not ready, so he collided with the redbeard who was holding Lu An Ran hostage.

The two parties were startled at the same time, and before the prince could give the order, the red beard pinched Lu Anran's neck hard, and shook out a sneer, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you really chased after you, and you all dodged Lao Tzu, otherwise this woman would be dead." ”

Lu Anran, whom the prince had seen, covered his face, only revealing a pair of eyes that were as quiet as autumn water, and now the mask was gone, and the first question mark was who was this woman with a yin and yang face?

"Hmph, if you want to compromise with a random woman, wouldn't it be a fool's dream. Redbeard, you can tie your hands and arrest him. ”

Red Beard used a little more force, and people could hear the sound of bones gurgling, Lu Anran suddenly felt suffocated and had difficulty breathing, he used Lu Anran as a meat shield, grinning a mouthful of yellow teeth, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recognizes it clearly?" She said that she was not only a student of the Jixia Palace, but also a criminal officer, and that she accidentally killed the wrong person, which violated the benevolence and benevolence of His Royal Highness the Prince, who was worried about the country and the people. ”

When he said that he was in the palace, Sang Jin didn't feel anything until the three words of the Criminal Division jumped out, and then looked at Lu Anran's eyes, and his eyelids jumped, "Lu Anran? ”

"Oh? Acquaintance, that's easy to say. Redbeard was worried that the woman in his hand was lying, but now it seems that at least the identity is right, and things are much easier.

Zi Sangjin held her hands behind her back, her index finger gently rubbed her thumb, and her eyelashes were half-drooping, covering the thoughts that were rolling in her eyes.

Catch Redbeard, he can also make meritorious atonements, and return to the king to have an explanation, if he lets him go again, I am afraid that in addition to making his father dissatisfied, it will also give people with a heart a chance.

But Lu Anran is the daughter of the Lu clan in Mengdu, and I heard that Lu Junshou attaches great importance to this daughter, and if she has an accident in her hands, she will not be able to please either.

But it's impossible to just let Redbeard go.

"Prince, it's important to catch Redbeard, right now the forest is deep and desolate, Miss Lu took the wrong path and let Redbeard murder, although His Highness tried to turn the tide, it was still useless, and finally he was a step too late." His voice was lowered.

Zi Sangjin's eyebrows moved, his five fingers slowly closed his palms into fists, and he raised his eyes as if he had made up his mind, "Redbeard, you are notorious for your crimes, and you should confess your guilt and surrender to the law, but you don't think about your own sins but intensify them, this palace is for the world, and will eradicate villains like you who plague the people." ”

Lu Anran looked at the young prince, his body was straight in the hunting mountain wind, like a green bamboo, he condemned every sentence, and his tone was loud, and he smashed on Lu Anran's body, and his heart sank little by little.

When I was almost suffocating in my breath, a thought came to my mind very clearly-

Zi Sangjin was not ready to save her.
