"It's you?"
Here Taoye was holding a bottle and walking outside the tent when he heard a clear female voice.
Looking back, Taoye saw the person in front of her clearly through the bright moonlight, and hurriedly lowered her body: "I have seen Miss Chen!"
"Get up quickly!"
Chen Shujun saw that the moonlight was still good tonight, so she went out for a walk. Unexpectedly, she saw this maid who looked very comfortable.
But during lunch yesterday, she already knew the identity of the maid in front of her.
It turns out that this beautiful and intelligent maid is the wife of the fifth young master of the Rong family.
The fifth young master, Rong Wu, injured his second brother and disobeyed his father, Duke Jingguo, in order to get married. The news spread throughout the high-level mansion in Shengjing.
"Why are you here? I heard that Young Master Rong Wu hasn't come back yet. It's better not to walk around at will at night!"
Chen Shujun reminded her with a rare word.
"The princess wants to drink dew tea, and the slave girl goes to collect some dew outside the tent!"
Taoye didn't hide anything.
After hearing this, Chen Shujun understood that the princess must be torturing this maid again.
She could help the maid once, but she couldn't help every time. However, looking at the moonlight outside, Chen Shujun smiled and said: "The night is very beautiful tonight, and I just want to go out for a walk, but there is no one to accompany me. Can we come together?"
"It's late at night outside, Miss Chen..."
"I'm not that delicate, don't worry!"
Chen Shujun walked to the front without waiting for Tao Ye to finish.
Taoye felt hot in her heart, knowing that Miss Chen was afraid that she would be in danger if she went out alone.
With two people here, it's easier to take care of him.
He was so decisive in his words and actions. Taoye followed up and tried to persuade her again but to no avail and stopped talking.
After leaving the camp, the further we walked toward the foot of the mountain, the quieter it became. Fortunately, it was a full moon day, and the moonlight was bright, so we could see clearly even without a lantern.
“It smells so good!”
There are several sweet-scented osmanthus trees at the foot of the mountain, and the fragrance penetrates the nostrils through the chill of the night, making it even more intoxicating.
Chen Shujun sighed.
"If you like it, miss, you can break a few branches and put them in a vase when you go back. The fragrance will stay for three or two days!"
Tao Ye said with a smile while carefully collecting the dew on it.
"Okay, pick some branches for me later!"
Chen Shujun knew that she was following, and Taoye felt a little apologetic and uneasy, so she said with a chuckle.
As expected, Taoye happily agreed.
Collecting dew is a job that requires a lot of patience. The sweet-scented osmanthus tree grows very tall. After a few drops of peach leaves, my neck felt a little sore. I was about to lower my head and rest for a while when I heard some rustling sounds in my ears.
"I……"
At this time, Chen Shujun saw that she had worked hard to harvest the peach leaves, and was about to ask her to give it a try for something new, when she saw the maid in front of her making a silent gesture and pulling herself up. The trunk of this sweet-scented osmanthus tree was thick. Just enough to cover both of their bodies.
Chen Shujun also frowned when she heard the rustling noise.
Since it is a hunting ground, some wild animals are inevitable.
"Second Young Master!"
"How's it going inside?"
To their surprise, two human voices sounded, and one Taoye sounded familiar.
Then he quietly leaned out and saw two men standing facing each other about seven or eight steps away. The moonlight just fell on the slightly taller man on the left.
After seeing the person clearly, Taoye couldn't help but trembled, and turned around slowly.
Although Chen Shujun didn't know what Tao Ye saw, her heart tightened when she saw Tao Ye's expression.
Just as he was about to ask Taoye with his eyes, a voice came from behind.
"Second Young Master, don't worry. Everything will be safe tonight. Fifth Young Master Rong and Third Young Master Gu, don't even think about coming out of the woods safely today!"
"Remember to ask them to clean up their hands and feet!"
"I understand! Even if the Crown Prince and Duke Jingguo want to investigate, it is still the work of the young master of Duke Jingguo's residence. I guarantee that we will not be implicated!"
"If you want to use my young master's hand to kill people, he is worthy!"
Wei Yuqi smiled sinisterly.
"Young Master has unparalleled plans!"
The compliments were full of flattery.
"who!"
Tao Ye and the two were holding their breath and hiding behind the tree when they suddenly heard a loud shout.
The hearts of both of them were beating fast. Chen Shujun's palms were covered in cold sweat. Tao Ye held her hand and comforted her silently.
Never speak out unless absolutely necessary.
The two got closer, but they heard the sound of several arrows piercing the air, and a figure fell heavily not far away.
"Go and see!"
Wei Yunqi ordered in a cold voice.
"yes!"
The man moved quickly, and within a short time he reached the place where the figure fell.
After observing for a while, he returned to his master: "He is wearing night clothes, but the black boots on his feet look like he is in the military!"
"Is he from Zuoweiwei?"
Wei Yunqi asked.
"The villain can't be sure..."
As he spoke, he remembered what he had just said.
"By the way, the villain also found a dagger, a hemp rope, and a handkerchief on him!"
"Is that person new here, or has he been hiding there?"
Wei Yunqi narrowed his eyes slightly as he listened.
"It's not like he just came here. With my little ears, the ground is full of dead grass, so I can't find anyone! And this person's kung fu isn't that good either!"
Although the man didn't know why his master asked such a question, he still answered with certainty.
He had been hiding there, but suddenly there was movement, and he brought these things to bind people.
Wei Yunqi looked around and saw several sweet-scented osmanthus trees with thick branches nearby. If there were Tibetans...
He winked at the person next to him, who understood and walked forward.
The foot fell on the withered grass, which was particularly clear at the foot of the silent mountain. Taoye and the two could even feel the sound getting louder a little bit. Fortunately, the man paused and went to a few sweet-scented osmanthus trees on the other side.
After closing her eyes, Taoye grabbed Chen Shujun's hand with some force.
The two people's eyes met, and Chen Shujun was able to guess Tao Ye's thoughts.
She shook her head. The second young master of the Wei family had a bad character. If a maid like Tao Ye fell into his hands, she would be worse off than dead. Besides, they had heard those secrets.
"Find someone to save me!"
The man's footsteps were already coming this way, and there was no time left. Taoye made a lip sync, then suddenly pulled out his hand and ran towards the side where the man in black fell.
Chen Shujun understood the four words in Taoye's mouth. She was a calm person. Although she wanted to reach out and pull someone at that moment, she still held back in the end.
With the meticulousness of that person's search, even if they didn't say anything, it would only take half a quarter of an hour to find them.
And once discovered, they will definitely have no way of survival.
Only by gambling hard can you have a chance of survival.
Although this was true, when the matter came to a close, how many people dared to make such a decision, so she hesitated just now.
Taoye only ran four or five steps before rolling to the ground. Perhaps her foot was twisted and she couldn't stand up for a moment, but she still crawled forward eagerly.
