Chen Xuejiao, who was held in Zhuzhu's arms, struggled, took out a dagger from her sleeve and stabbed backward.
Zhuzhu didn't expect this girl to be so fierce, so she quickly held Chen Xuejiao's hand holding the dagger to stop her attack, and said: "Girl, I'm not the same group as the gang just now. You see, I'm taking you into the capital city." of."
Zhuzhu pointed forward with her other hand. The city gate tower was more than ten miles ahead, getting closer and closer to them.
Chen Xuejiao looked forward and saw the capital city gate getting closer and closer. She also looked at the fat-headed and big-eared Huahua under her. Although it was fat, it was much faster than those horses. Ye Lan couldn't catch up with them at all. .
In this way, I am saved.
"Thank you brave man for saving me." Chen Xuejiao put away her dagger and turned around to thank her.
The voice sounded like that of a young warrior, but when Chen Xuejiao looked back, she couldn't help but be stunned.
It turned out to be a young man of the same age as her, and his appearance was even more exquisite than hers. If it weren't for his slightly dark skin, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, he was half a head taller than her, and his voice was like a man's. She was so low and hoarse that she almost thought she was seeing a girl.
He is truly a rare and handsome young man.
However, Chen Xuejiao met a girl who was even more beautiful than the young man two years ago and quickly put her mind back.
It was just the first time she was held in the arms of a strange man and so close, which made her a little embarrassed and shy, and her earlobes turned red unknowingly.
After a while, they ran to the entrance of the city gate. It was getting dark and the guards at the city gate were closing the gate.
As the capital of a country, it is much more majestic and majestic than any city Zhuzhu has ever seen. The city wall alone is two feet higher than other cities, not to mention the city gate that can accommodate five carriages walking side by side and the more magnificent gate tower. .
Chen Xuejiao put aside her distracting thoughts and immediately shouted: "I am Chen Xuejiao, the only daughter of Prime Minister Chen. I hope the two guards will be accommodating and let us in."
The Prime Minister's daughter? Not only were the guards shocked when they heard this and rushed forward to check, but Zhuzhu, who had saved Chen Xuejiao, was also shocked. She didn't expect to save a high official's daughter, nor did she expect that the prime minister's daughter would also be chased. Kill and insult.
This is the prime minister who is less than one person and more than ten thousand people in the Wusu Kingdom. He has much greater power than those city lords. His daughter should be very valuable. If the life-saving grace is converted into spiritual stones, I don’t know. How much will the adults give?
The penniless Zhuzhu was thinking about how to exchange Chen Xuejiao for money.
Chen Xuejiao took out the Chen Jiayu card from her storage bag and handed it to the guard. After checking that it was correct, the guard opened the city gate and let them in.
Chen Xuejiao asked Zhuzhu to let her down. Instead of rushing into the city, she pointed to the direction in which she came and said to the guard: "I was attacked by thieves on the way here. My escort team was also attacked and killed by them one by one. Only one driver was left. I was still resisting desperately with them before I could escape. Can you send someone to notify the Guards Battalion to come to the rescue?"
What, the daughter of the prime minister’s family is actually being hunted?
The guards couldn't believe it, but Chen Xuejiao probably wouldn't lie to them. If this was done well, catching the thief would be a great achievement. Even if there was no merit, troops would still have to be sent to support the officials and their families if they were attacked by the thief.
They nodded quickly and sent a guard with faster footsteps to report.
Chen Xuejiao originally wanted to wait here for the soldiers from the Duwei Battalion to catch Ye Lan and rescue Uncle Ping.
However, after running around for days, she had no time to rest, and after being rescued, she relaxed and couldn't help but feel dizzy and wanted to fall asleep.
Seeing Chen Xuejiao about to fall to the ground, he quickly stepped forward to help her.
Chen Xuejiao fell into the warm embrace again, reluctantly opened her eyes and took a look at Zhuzhu before falling asleep peacefully.
"I'll take her back to the Prime Minister's Mansion first." Zhuzhu saw the envious looks from the guards, "You guys are busy."
The guards were speechless as they watched Zhuzhu walk away with Chen Xuejiao in her arms.
"If only I were as handsome as that boy, maybe the prime minister's daughter would fall into my arms." A guard said enviously.
"Stop daydreaming. The Prime Minister only has this one daughter. He will not ask someone like me to be his son-in-law."
Even the other four major aristocratic families in the capital have asked for marriage, but they were all rejected by the Prime Minister, let alone ordinary people like them who don't even have a family and are just soldiers.
After entering the capital city, Zhuzhu put Huahua into the demon pet bag and walked toward the inner city with the unconscious Chen Xuejiao in her arms.
As a result, not far after entering the inner city, a pair of soldiers and horses surrounded them. Then the soldiers and horses separated into a passage, and a middle-aged man with a majestic look came from behind.
"Why are you holding my son Jiaojiao in broad daylight?"
Zhuzhu was speechless. It seemed that the Prime Minister had misunderstood her as a prostitute.
He quickly said: "Sir, I just saved her. She fainted because she was exhausted. I didn't do anything to her, I just wanted to send her home."
However, Prime Minister Chen didn't quite believe what she said, and instead said to the bodyguard beside him: "Take him back to the house together, and wait until Jiaojiao wakes up to ask about the situation."
"yes--"
Then Chen Xuejiao was taken away by the Prime Minister's hands, while Zhuzhu was thrown into the carriage by two powerful soldiers.
However, Zhuzhu is not afraid. As long as Chen Xuejiao wakes up, it will prove her innocence. If it is not possible, she can only expose her daughter to show her innocence.
After Zhuzhu was locked up in a small dark room for a day and night, Chen Xuejiao finally woke up.
"Jiaojiao, are you awake?"
"Dad -" Chen Xuejiao saw her father sitting beside her bed, feeling as if she was in another world. She felt so good to be alive to see her father. She threw herself into his arms and cried loudly.
Chen Shu's heart was as sharp as a knife. He thought something unexpected had happened to his daughter. He suppressed the murderous intention in his heart to comfort his daughter: "Jiaojiao, please don't cry. Tell your father who bullied you. I will avenge you for my father. I must let you." He was cut into pieces."
As he spoke, Prime Minister Chen thought of the pretty boy locked in the dark room, and said, "Is he the pretty boy who carried you back?"
Chen Xuejiao was stunned, knowing that her father had mistaken her for her...she quickly shook her head, thinking of the young man who rescued her and carried her back, her face was stained with two blushes: "Dad, you misunderstood, I was brought back by someone Only by being rescued can one escape from the hands of that bastard Ye Lan, and speaking of which, I would also like to thank him for his life-saving grace."
Prime Minister Chen's face improved a lot when he heard this, and when his daughter mentioned Ye Lan, he felt a little unbelievable: "He is your cousin, how could he-"
"Dad, from now on, let's sever ties with the Ye family in Shangrao City."
Chen Xuejiao remembered being harassed by Ye Lan over and over again in Shangrao City, and her so-called grandfather and grandmother, as well as her uncles and aunts, all turned a blind eye, hoping that Ye Lan would do something good with her. , and then the two families got closer, and Dongfeng wanted to dominate Shangrao City by using his father's power.
She never thought about whether her granddaughter would be willing to do it if the forcefully twisted melon was not sweet.
Chen Xuejiao didn't like Ye Lan, who had a lot of concubines and behaved wildly. She even disliked him.
If the two families weren't related, and this was five years after her mother's death, she was invited back to Shangrao City by her grandmother. She didn't want to make her old lady sad, so she had to endure Ye Lan's frequent harassment.
Unexpectedly, his tolerance actually made him become more aggressive. He found that there were many guards around her and it was difficult to attack her because of the tight protection, so he tried to find a way to assassinate or poison her, except for the many guards around her.
Realizing that Ye Lan had ill intentions towards her, Chen Xuejiao refused her grandmother's repeated attempts to stay and forcefully wanted to return to the capital.
As a result, as soon as they set out on the road, Ye Lan didn't give up and gathered the Ye family's masters to chase them all the way.
He wanted to push Chen Xuejiao into a desperate situation, so she had to obey him.
The remaining guards resisted desperately and fought for Chen Xuejiao's master and servant to escape. In the end, Xiaodie died for her before she could return to the capital. Even Uncle Ping...
Thinking of Xiaodie and Uncle Ping, Chen Xuejiao couldn't help but burst into tears: "Dad, has Uncle Ping been rescued?"
Chen Shu looked sadly and shook his head: "When the Duwei camp arrived, they found that Chen Ping was already dead. He had been hit by several swords, and he also killed four Qi refining masters on the other side. I have already found someone to kill Xiaodie and Chen Ping. Ping’s body was buried.”
"What about Ye Lan?" Chen Xuejiao gritted her teeth thinking of that despicable guy, "He must pay for Xiaodie and Uncle Heping."
