Princess Jiamin stared at Hua Liuli with the look of a fool.

Hua Liuli looked back shyly.

In this quiet carriage, none of them spoke. The rickety carriage, don't know where to take them.

The carriage curtain was suddenly opened. The female killer looked at Hua Liuli and Jiamin who were facing each other. She took a knife from her waist and slowly approached them.

"If you have something to say, don't scratch your face!" Princess Jiamin turned his face to the side, "We can make ourselves ugly, really! Now if we scratch our face, it will not scab for a while, which is more likely to be suspicious. , It’s not good for you."

The female assassin's eyes swept over the two, Hua Liuli leaned against the wall of the car with tears in her eyes, looking at her pitifully. This look reminded her of the kitten who was thrown to death by the master when she was young.

She put the knife back into the scabbard, and said with a cold face: "The boss and I are only responsible for sending you out of the mountain. I don't care what they will do to you in the back."

"Sister, aren't you with us?" Hua Liuli looked at the female assassin timidly.

"I told you not to call my sister." The female assassin turned away from Hua Liuli, "Don't blame us, we can't help it. The son said that as long as you finish your vote, you will let me and the boss free ."

"You rob us from the capital, even if you escape to the end of the world, you can't escape the court's pursuit, what freedom do you have?" Hua Liuli lowered her eyelids, "It's better to let us go, maybe you still have a life."

"Little girl, don't want to fool me with such things that deceive a child." The female assassin sneered, "Don't be delusional, when you reborn in your next life, choose a life with good luck. Don't be like Fanghua in this life."

The female killer withdrew from the carriage, and the people who came with her came out so quickly: "Why didn't you start?"

The female killer sneered: "Now scratching their faces, I want to tell others clearly that there is a problem with these two people's faces? Do you think you are stupid, or the court people are stupid?"

The questioner resisted his anger and turned and left.

After leaving Beijing, it was the death date of these two killers. At this time, he could not destroy the plan of the son, he endured it. He turned around and asked the others to make a simple disguise for the two hostages so that they would not be recognized.

"I think this female assassin may not live long." There was nothing to say, Jiamin was scared, but didn't want to be seen by Hua Liuli, so he had to pretend to speak calmly to Hua Liuli, "The person who said this in the script, Will die in the end."

Hua Liuli blinked and ignored her.

The hands and feet of the two were tied up, and the windows of the car were tightly sealed again, and they didn't know where they were now.

After a few more hours, the two were filled with two bowls of porridge, which seemed to contain hypnotic drugs, and they fell asleep.

When woke up again, it was already the next day. Taking advantage of the female killer taking them to solve their physical problems, Hua Liuli looked around.

The people who had taken them pretended to be a caravan. The people on the female killer's side didn't seem to be in harmony with the other dozen people. The other dozen people looked at them with malicious and frivolous eyes.

"The son said, let us be free after this is done." The female assassin pushed Hua Liuli and Jiamin back into the carriage and said to a dozen other people, "Since then, there is no need to meet again."

"In order to bring these two women back to the capital, all the hidden piles and manpower we arranged have been discovered by the court. You are still in the capital. There is only one dead end. Why not stay and continue to stay loyal to the lord and create a great cause together."

The female killer handed over: "Farewell."

Seeing that they didn't listen to them, the headed man's expression sank. He glanced at these assassins, then turned to his opponent and said, "Go."

"The female killer who pleased you all the way is gone." Jiamin, who hadn't eaten for nearly ten hours, leaned weakly against the carriage wall, "What should we do now?"

If they were delivered to the destination, they would really be dead.

"The high mountain road here is dangerous, like the border between the capital and the mountain state. It is said that there are sparsely populated here and there are often beasts..." Hua Liuli twisted her wrist, "There are two hours left, and it will be dark."

Hearing this, Jiamin's heart became even more nervous. Not the few killers who pay attention to "the difference between men and women" watched, she was worried about the rest of these people coming in disorder.

Jiamin's worries soon became true. When they were resting at night, although the ropes that bound them were untied, the gangsters who surrounded them laughed at them with foul language.

If it hadn't been for them, Jiamin would have killed them. Turning her head to look at Hua Liuli who was immersed in the meal, she was not angry, she gritted her teeth and cursed in a low voice: "Eating and eating, you know that you are eating. You are not weak. Do you have to vomit when you eat this or faint when you eat that? Can you eat anything?"

"Special period, special treatment." Hua Liuli put down the empty bowl, wiped the corner of her mouth, and slowly reached out to touch her waist.

"Oh, isn't the little lady full?" A man with a sharp-mouthed monkey-gill laughed loudly. "Come on, call me brother, I will give you some delicious food."

Others laughed, and others roared.

"They are superior princesses, how can you insult them?"

"The princess of the imperial court is not so good. At this time, isn't he as good as a dog?"

Insulting the noble princess verbally brought them great satisfaction, and a cheerful smile appeared on everyone's face.

Jiamin was trembling with anger, even his eyes were red.

"When I was young, someone told me that weakness is also a weapon." Hua Liuli looked at these men who wanted to make fun of, "but weakness is a weapon that can only be used against people, and animals don't understand."

"Yo yō yō, this little lady is calling us brutes."

"As expected of the princess, the curse sounds so nice."

Huh.

Jiamin felt in a daze that there seemed to be a silver light flashing in front of her. Before she could react, she heard a bang. The man nearest to them suddenly fell to the ground.

The foul language disappeared, the laughter disappeared, and only the sound of the cold wind could be heard throughout the valley. The whining sound, like a ghost crying.

She raised her head blankly, looking at the Hua Liuli in front of her, and the soft sword in her hand that she didn't know where to pull it out, her mind went blank.

"Every child of the Hua family will have a soft sword to protect themselves." Hua Liuli shook the blood beads on the soft sword, "I am sick and weak, and I don't like to use force."

"Everyone has a dream, but you have ruined a girl's beautiful dream." Hua Liuli kicked the fallen corpse on the ground, and the corpse rolled aside: "I am generally not angry. It will be fatal to get angry."

"Damn, this woman is a dog that bites people, brothers, copy guys!"

Jiamin woke up when she heard these people starting to draw their swords. She grabbed the sword next to the corpse, shook her hand and drew the sword out of its sheath, and stood beside Hua Liuli.

"Stay away from me." Hua Liuli stared at Jiamin.

Jiamin gritted his teeth: "Hua Liuli!"

"I'm not in good health, I'm afraid of infecting you." After Hua Liuli finished speaking, she rushed into the crowd with her sword without looking back, her pace was so vigorous that Jiamin wondered who was sick between them.

In the capital at this time, many people were sent to find the whereabouts of the two princesses in Shun'an Princess Mansion, British Royal Mansion, Flower Mansion and Palace.

Even the soldiers guarding the city gates were replaced by elite soldiers with serious expressions. The gates of the major prefectures adjacent to the capital were all standing by, not letting any suspicious person be spared.

The people in Beijing, who have always been more sensitive to the imperial decrees, are privately speculating whether something major has happened in the palace, or why there are still many guards running around even during the night curfew.

"His Royal Highness, there are traces of people living in a ruined temple in the west of the city."

The prince looked at the map of the capital and tapped his finger on it.

"West of the city?" King Ying stood up and said, "Nanzhou is adjacent to the west of the city. I will immediately lead my troops to hunt down."

The prince ignored the King of England who was leaving in stride. He closed the map and asked the attendant: "Is there any news from Huafu and Princess Shun'an?"

"Go back to your highness, not yet." The attendant thought for a while, "Princess Shun'an just cried for a long time in front of your majesty, and wanted to post a missing person notice, but was stopped by your majesty. On the contrary, the Huafu is much quieter. After asking your majesty, I took people out of the city."

"Let's go." The prince stood up and walked out the door.

"Your Highness, it's dark already, where are you going?"

"Mountain Lingzhou." The prince's robe was blown by the night breeze, and he said without looking back, "Immediately arrange for someone to leave the city with Lonely."

"Yes." Chang Sui was puzzled. The trail of the gangster who kidnapped the two princesses was found not far from Nanzhou. Why did the prince go to the mountain state in the opposite direction?

"San Gongzi, don't worry, there will be nothing wrong with the princess." On the mountain road, the young man who has followed Hua Changkong for many years saw the princess hurriedly, and said with comfort, "The princess is clever and has a way to save himself."

"I'm not worried that she won't be able to protect herself, but..." Hua Changkong sighed, looked at the path in the night, and continued on her way.

The martial arts of the Hua family have been summed up from the battlefield by generations of people. There are no extra burdens and gorgeous moves. The focus of each move is to defeat the opponent and protect himself and his comrades.

Let yourself survive, let your comrades survive, defeat your opponents, and protect the land under your feet.

The blade ran across the gangster's throat, leaving only a thin line of blood. When the blade slashed at another person, the blood from the previous person's neck gushed out and fell to the ground silently.

Until the last person fell, Hua Liuli turned around, carrying a sword and walking towards the county lord Jiamin who was shrunk in the corner.

Under the moonlight, Hua Liuli had no blood on her body, her steps were light, and her expression was calm, but Jiamin felt that the other party was like a female Raksha ready to avenge her.

She remembered the sarcasm and ridicule she had made towards Hua Liuli, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that Hua Liuli wanted to take this opportunity to kill her together.

Her teeth trembled and she tried to make herself look calm: "Yes, I have something to say, but I actually don't like the King of England at all. I used to be nonsense. You are more than enough for him, but his eyes are not good."

In front of his own life, the man he likes is a fart.

But she didn't expect that after saying these words, Hua Liuli's face turned a little ugly, and she quickly said: "You are the number one beauty in the Jin Dynasty, you can choose any of the five princes in the palace! And...and... You are the first pride of the Hua family. Madam has the luckiest thing in your life to have a daughter like you. Ah, ah, ah, Hua Liuli, I was wrong, don’t kill me!” Seeing Hua Liuli gets closer and closer, she She covered her eyes in fear.

In her life, she had never regretted her mouth like this moment. If she can go back alive, she must, definitely say a few words less, and she won't be guilty of killing Hua Liuli!

"what are you talking about?"

After waiting for a long while, the sword did not fall on her. Jiamin opened her eyes and took a look. Hua Liuli was holding her chest and sitting on the ground with a pale face, her voice was so weak that she could not get up at all. She would faint: "Gun Lord, I’m so scared, huh huh."

County Master Jiamin: "Huh?"

"Those beasts are terrible. Fortunately, the princess you bravely protected me." After Hua Liuli finished speaking, she raised her head and stared at the princess Jiamin with Yingying eyes: "Princess, you will continue to protect me, a weak woman, right? ?"

Jiamin took two steps back in horror.

"Cough, cough, cough." Hua Liuli coughed a few times, and looked at Princess Jiamin with a smile: "Right?"

Jiamin opened her mouth, speechless.

Half an hour later, Jiamin sat on the tree, watching the beast in the mountains biting the corpse of the gangster, covering her mouth and dared not make a sound.

When the beasts dragged the bones away, she asked dumbly: "What on earth do you want to do?"

"Fight hard for the dream." Hua Liuli hung the temporarily found herbs around the branches to drive away snakes and insects. "The county lord will help me continue to fulfill this dream, won't you?"

Jiamin swallowed, her face pale in fright, she stared at Hua Liuli for a moment: "I understand, I will keep this secret for you."

"What's the secret, do I have a secret?" Hua Liuli smiled and shook her feet, and the branches shook.

"I was wrong, I mean, I am willing to help you fight for your dreams." Jiamin felt that Hua Liuli was sick, and his brain was sick. Normal people have such a strange hobby.

"Thank you, the princess, I believe what you said today." Hua Liuli smiled and squinted, "You are a good person."

Jiamin closed his mouth aggrievedly, and turned his head too lazy to look at Hua Liuli. After a while, she heard Hua Liuli's cough, took off her robe and threw it on Hua Liuli: "Take it, cover it."

"Thank you."

"I just listen to you coughing and upset." Jiamin tied herself to the tree with a rope. She was afraid that she would fall asleep when she waited and fell asleep.

After a while, she opened her eyes and found that Hua Liuli was still sitting quietly. After hesitating, she said, "Don't worry, I won't talk about you."

Hua Liuli smiled and looked at her: "I know, go to sleep."

Jiamin didn't ask her what would happen to her if she didn't do it. In fact, she was very skeptical, even if she went back to tell the truth, no one would believe it.

Some people just have the ability to reverse black and white and confuse others.

She fell asleep in a daze, and when she woke up the next morning, the mountain was full of smoke, and Hua Liuli sat next to her, seeming not to sleep all night.

The two came down from the tree, Hua Liuli yelled, and she knew that this woman was going to toss again.

"I'm so tired, I can't walk at all."

Jiamin held her arm with a cold face: "I will help you go."

"Princess, you are such a good person."

Jiamin sneered, and if anyone praised her as a good person in front of her in the future, she would kill him.

The mountain road was difficult to walk, and the two of them didn't know the direction. Finally they went down the mountain. They found a small river to wash their faces. Hua Liuli found a big rock and sat down: "No, I am weak and unable to walk."

"The other road leads to the official road, and you don't want to go. Now you can't walk. What do you want to do?" Jiamin has been tossed by Hua Liuli so badly.

"Do you still dare to go to the official road?" Hua Liuli beat her leg. "The two of us can be brought out of the Tian family, indicating that there must be someone with extraordinary status to help them cover. You can be sure of the people you meet on the official road , Do you help us or cheat us?"

"Wait." Jiamin saw a donkey cart coming in the distance, "I will let someone else take us back."

When the donkey cart walked in, Jiamin realized that the donkey cart was broken and rotten, and the person who drove the cart had an unpleasant smell. She gritted her teeth and stepped forward: "Wait!"

"What's the matter?" The driver was a little unhappy when he heard this tone. As a person with a donkey cart in the village, who within a few miles saw him not being polite?

But seeing that it was a pretty girl who stopped him, he looked much better.

"I am the princess of the capital. Today is in trouble. If you send us to the capital, I will have someone give you a hundred taels of silver."

The driver glanced at Jiamin's tattered clothes and messy hair, almost amused. Now these crooks are getting bolder and thicker. Which princess ran to the country road to take a ride and wears such torn clothes?

He is a knowledgeable person in ten miles and eight villages, so he can be fooled like this?

"If you are the princess, Lao Tzu is the prince." The driver flicked his whip, "Dead liar, stay away from me."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Princess Jiamin: "A good girl, who looks good, how can she do such a deceitful thing?"

Before County Master Jiamin could reply, he drove away in the car. He was afraid that there would be other people in the scammer group, so he would leave early and be safe.

"I, he..." Jiamin was trembling with anger. If anyone in the capital dared to be so disrespectful to her, she would have taken both whips off.

She stood there and scolded for nearly a quarter of an hour, and another donkey cart came by at the end of the road, and the driver was a middle-aged couple.

"Go away." Hua Liuli pulled her away, untied her messy hair bun, let her hair drape softly behind her, "I can't take a ride, what's the use of you?"

Jiamin: "..."

She didn't say that when she was asked to support her down the mountain just now.

She wants to see how Hua Liuli can get on the bus.

The middle-aged couple went to the city to sell mountain products. They figured out how much they could sell this time, and whether to pull some cloth to make new clothes for their children. From a distance, they saw a little girl standing on the side of the road crying, hanging on her white face. With gray marks, it looks so pitiful.

As if hearing the sound of them approaching, the little girl looked up at them timidly, as if she wanted to ask them for help, but because she was too timid to approach them, she carefully stepped back two steps, and accidentally stumbled on the grass and vines next to her After a while, he fell on the side of the road.

"Girl, are you okay?" The middle-aged woman moved with compassion and asked the man to stop the donkey cart and asked one more thing.

"Sister." The little girl said with a shaking voice, "I, my sister and I went to Beijing to find relatives. On the way, an elder sister said to take us with us. How did she know that she took us farther and farther, but my sister and I found something was wrong. It's easy to escape, but I don't know where this is."

Speaking of this, she covered her face and cried: "I don't know what to do now."

"Oh, you have met a human trafficker." The middle-aged woman saw the two little girls pure and white, guessing that they were the girls grown up in the family, and said: "Girl, if you believe us, follow us. Let’s go to Beijing together, we just went to Beijing to sell mountain products"

"Will you trouble you too much?" The little girl blushed with her big beautiful eyes.

"It's just on the way." The middle-aged woman greeted the two enthusiastically to get into the donkey cart. After hearing that they hadn't eaten for a day, she gave them two loaves.

"You two children are too innocent. Didn't you think that my husband and I are also liars?" The middle-aged woman was worried that the two little girls would be deceived in the future, and told them that several children were deceived. "Don’t just take someone else’s car in the future, do you know?"

"My sister has such good-looking eyes, she is a good person at first glance." Hua Liuli gnawed two bites of bread and looked at the woman with her eyes wide open.

"It's not good to judge people by their appearance." The middle-aged woman touched her face, "A good-looking person may also be a liar, don't you know? Don't just believe others, let alone go out alone, you two are handsome Human traffickers like to lie to you little girls the most."

Princess Jiamin gnawed the pancakes expressionlessly and made sense. Isn't there a good-looking woman next to her who doesn't blink?

Probably because Hua Liuli praised her good looks, the woman gave them a box of snacks.

"Girl, I was scared this time." Seeing that Jiamin hadn't spoken, the woman thought she was scared. She put a few plums in her hands, "Come on, eat some of this."

The woman's hands are rough, and the rough servants in the princess mansion are more delicate than her hands. But her hands were very warm, so warm that Jiamin was a little embarrassed.

"Thank you." She squeezed a few plums that were usually inconspicuous, her face panicked inexplicably.

"Thank you sister." Hua Liuli smiled sweetly at the woman, "You are so kind-hearted, and you will definitely be rewarded."

"This is kind, but it's just casual." The woman looked at the little girl's sweet smile, and felt happy in her heart, and found some food for the two of them.

The guys who were driving outside didn't speak much, and only when they passed some steep sections of roads, did they remind them with a sigh.

When halfway there, the man stopped the car. The woman raised the curtain suspiciously and looked out, "It hasn't arrived yet, why did you stop it?"

"There are officers and soldiers guarding me. I don't know what happened." The man replied, "It seems to be checking identity."

Hua Liuli and Jiamin's expressions changed slightly when they heard the word "officer and soldier". The two exchanged glances. Hua Liuli hid behind the woman and stretched out half of his face to look outside.

Many people entering and leaving the city lined up on the road, and they were all being checked obediently under heavy guard.

In the mist, a man rides on a white horse, and he does not know how long he has been in the mist. His hair looks soggy.

"His Royal Highness." Hua Liuli recognized the person, with a bright smile in her eyes.

The prince heard this call and looked back.

The dilapidated donkey cart stopped at the end of the line, Hua Liuli poked her head out from behind the curtain, her fair face with a few gray stains, her ears looming in the loose blue silk.

It was like a lost kitten, suddenly poking his head out of the grass, and his sullen eyes were filled with the joy and trust of the owner.

Fog lingers in the mountains and forests, and the beauty in the morning is easy to overlook many things.

In a daze, the prince felt like the owner who took the kitten out of the grass, and wanted to wipe the dust off the kitten.

The author has something to say: The client Jiamin: I regret it now, very regretful.
