When the woman walked out of the house, she still looked around cautiously, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there were peasant households dressed as villagers, and it was obvious that she had not recovered from the panic just now.

Finally, I saw Xiao Jiu, who had been cold-faced, holding a knife, and knew that it was the person in front of him who saved him, and brushed his dirty hair a little, so he rushed forward to thank him.

"Thank you for the rescue." After saying that, he bent down and bowed slightly.

But Xiao Jiu was carefully looking at this handsome girl, judging by her behavior, she was not like ordinary people, and the strong men who had just chased her were not like thieves, and her style of action was more like people in the army, all of which was telling Xiao Jiu that things here were not simple.

"Who are you, and why are they hunting you down?" , Xiao Jiu asked the woman, his eyes fixed on her eyes.

The girl listened to Xiao Jiu's question, obviously a little flustered, and after thinking about it for a while, she said that she was the daughter of an ordinary merchant, and she met a robber on the road, and those strongmen saw that she had some looks and chased and killed all the way.

Xiao Jiu naturally didn't believe what the girl said, Mo said that the gangsters who chased and killed were well-trained, and there were only two groups of mountain bandits in the entire Lingshui County, Hare Mountain and Wolf Mountain, and the rest of the scattered thieves didn't dare to rob the passing merchants, it was obvious that the woman was lying.

But Xiao Jiu didn't intend to poke her, he just wanted to return to the cottage safely, his soju career had just started, and he didn't want others to know about the cooperation with Li Jiazhen and add to other incidents, so he ignored the girl and turned around to lead the horse.

But when the girl saw that Xiao Jiu was leaving, she hurriedly stepped forward and shouted to stay.

The girl was also very scared in the chase just now, worried that the gang of gangsters would chase and kill again, so she wanted Xiao Jiu to escort her back to the county seat, and said that there would be a good reward in the future, but Xiao Jiu was not ready to take care of her, even if you were born no matter how beautiful and fragrant you were, you can let me send you back to the county seat as a mountain bandit leader, isn't that looking for death?

Seeing that Xiao Jiu was unmoved, the girl gave up, turned her head and pleaded with the villagers, if she could go to the county government for her to report it, explain the situation here, and let the family pick her up.

Xiao Jiu, who was about to leave, heard the girl's words and stopped, if this woman has some official background, as soon as the people from the county government arrive, they will interrogate what happened, and there is a risk that the cooperation between himself and Lijiazhen will be leaked, so it is better to take this woman back to the cottage, find out her identity, and then decide to stay.

Immediately, Xiao Jiu turned around: "I'll send you back to the county seat." ”

The girl was full of joy when she heard this, and she saluted Xiao Jiu again, Xiao Jiu also nodded and smiled at the girl, helped her get on the horse, and rode with her.

In this way, Xiao Jiu took the girl to leave Lijia Town, and the pace quickened along the way, afraid that the murderers who chased and killed the girl had not left, and ambushed outside the town.

When Xiao Jiuxing reached the mountainside, the girl in her arms gradually realized that something was wrong.

"When you go to the county seat, why do you still run to the mountains?"

Thinking like this in his heart, he turned his head sideways to look at Xiao Jiu, sitting in front of Xiao Jiu at this time, and almost pasted it on Xiao Jiu's face when he turned around, and when he caught a glimpse of Xiao Jiu's tough cheeks, his face couldn't help but blush slightly, but he still insisted on asking the doubts in his heart.

"Zhuangshi, is this the way to the county seat?"

Xiao Jiu, who was pulling the reins, looked at the slightly shy girl in his arms, and smiled for no reason in his heart, "This stupid girl is about to go to the mountain bandits' den." ”

Before Xiao Jiu could speak, Jin Zi and the two mountain bandits who were traveling together burst into laughter.

"Yo, does this girl still know the road? Ha ha. ”

The girl also frowned, sensing the ridicule in Jinzi's tone, and looked at Xiao Jiu behind her, and Xiao Jiu was also looking at her in her arms, with a playful smile on her lips.

"Who are you?" , The girl in Xiao Jiu's arms struggled.

"Didn't you say that you were robbed by mountain bandits? I am the biggest mountain bandit in Lingshui County. ”

When the girl heard this, she was full of horror, and even the smile on the corner of Xiao Jiu's mouth turned into an evil evil smile, did she just get out of the tiger's mouth and jump into the wolf's den? couldn't help but struggle even more, Xiao Jiu felt the flutter of the girl in his arms, and also put away the abuse and said.

"Don't make a fuss, we're not bad people."

But the girl was still struggling after hearing this, Xiao Jiu was helpless, so she had to scare her, if she was not honest, she would be thrown into the mountains and forests to feed the wolves, and the girl stopped, but there was obviously a trace of panic in her eyes, and she was helplessly taken back to the cottage by Xiao Jiu.

Walking to the cottage, the mountain bandits standing guard outside the village saw Xiao Jiu carrying a woman back, and wondered if he had snatched back a lady from the village, and kept smacking his tongue and sighing, his eyes full of envy.

After Xiao Jiu returned to the cottage, he was going to go back to the residence first, change into clean clothes, and arranged for Jin Zi to take the girl to the council hall, but Jin Zi said that he would send it back to Xiao Jiu's room first according to the rules, so that Xiao Jiu couldn't help but be speechless, and the girl was even more frightened when she heard Jin Zi's words, and cried directly.

Finally, Xiao Jiu, who had finished changing his clothes, walked into the conference hall, ready to interrogate the origin of the girl first, along with the three leaders of Lao Ma, the girl was sitting on the ground in the middle of the hall, with a little sobbing in her mouth.

"Tell me, who are you?" , Xiao Jiu sat down in the main seat, examining the girl in front of him.

Seeing that Xiao Jiu didn't use force on herself, the girl also became bold, looked up at everyone in the house, told her what happened to her, and explained her identity - the daughter of Li Li, a second-rank member of the dynasty.

"Are you Li Li's daughter?"

Knowing the identity of the girl, Xiao Jiu couldn't help but be a little shocked, he had imagined that the girl had many identities, but he didn't expect that she would be Li Li's daughter, thinking of some of the information that Li Gui had told him before, he couldn't help frowning.

This Li Li is not an ordinary wealthy official family, even such a high-ranking and powerful member of the capital was assassinated, this matter is by no means something that a small mountain bandit leader can be involved in, and I heard the girl say that her father Li Li has most likely fled into the county and escaped the assassination, if it is really investigated, then the cooperation between himself and Li Jiazhen will inevitably leak.

The girl frowned when she saw Xiao Jiu, and after a little thought, she knew that it was her identity that made Xiao Jiu jealous, she was not a stupid person, otherwise she would not have fled to the village and town to hide after being separated from the guards before.

Thinking of this, the girl's face improved a little, and now what she was most afraid of was that Xiao Jiu would use force on herself, after all, in her impression, the mountain bandit was a lawless bastard, acting completely according to her preferences.

Seeing that the young "village owner" in front of her was frowning and pondering, the girl thought about stabilizing him first.
