Zhou Fei and the other twenty brothers were people who had been through hundreds of battles and had climbed out of piles of corpses.
In the past, she only used to speak with her fists. Her mouth was stupid, and didn't seem as lively as her brain. But now that she was being called like this by a little girl, she was immediately rendered speechless.
Zhou Fei's leader wanted to bite his tongue, so why did he have to take advantage of her? Wasn't this equivalent to lifting a rock to smash his own foot?!
"Brother Zhou, don't waste time talking with her, tie her up first, and then we'll talk after that. The emperor bestowed the marriage, if she dares to run away, then she'll be treated for her great disrespect. Not to mention a little girl like her, even Muyi can't bear the consequences."
Just as he finished speaking, he heard a cold snort. The man tilted his head and saw Yi Xiaoqiao's mocking expression.
Yi Xiaoxiao's face was not that beautiful, but her eyes were bright and crystal clear, as if she could see through people's hearts with one glance. Her lips slightly curled up as ridicule flashed across her eyes, "You said I would escape? "But what evidence?"
"Aren't you running away?"
"Of course not." Yi Xiaoqiao lied, "I'm going to the Xiangyun Temple to pray for the incense. My general will return to Fringe City tomorrow and go to the battlefield. I'm worried about him, so why not go to the temple and ask for a peace talisman for him?"
This was enough to make him stop. Zhou Fei Hou's face darkened, but he could not retort. He breathed in a breath of air from his chest, as he gritted his teeth, "A sharp-tongued girl!"
"Thank you for your praise, I dare not accept it." Yi Xiaoqiao smiled faintly and asked, "Can I go now? The Xiangyun Temple is about to close. If I don't go now, it will be too late. "
"Little girl, you have a glib tongue, but I'm not stupid. You want to pray for your blessings, right? Let's wait until you become a bride first. I definitely won't let you pass today!"
"Leader Zhou Fei, don't go too far!" Yu Heng was furious.
Yi Xiao Qiao stopped him for a moment. With so many people, it would be no good for them if they were to start fighting. You don't allow me to pray, could it be that you want to harm my family's general? "
"Nonsense!"
"If it wasn't to harm him, why would it stop me? Could it be that there is something inside the Xiangyun Temple that makes you all so afraid? "
This woman looked weak and easy to bully, but in reality, she was just a soft knife. It didn't hurt to cut her body, but blood could cause her to bleed to death.
"It's fine if you want to go, but my prince is worried about General Mu's family. We have come here to protect them, so we have to go with you."
Peach carefully tugged at her pants leg, indicating that she should stop immediately. If she was pressed too hard, perhaps Zhou Fei Hou would really make a move.
Yi Xiaoqiao nodded. "You can, but you have to follow behind us. Don't let others think that we're bandits or hooligans or something like that scare people."
This woman was clearly calling them bandits and hooligans!
Zhou Fei had been on the battlefield all his life and had never been described as such by anyone. He was truly angry, yet he had no way of leaving. He could only forcefully swallow his anger as he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry. We won't sully General Mu's mighty name!"
"Then let's go, stop wasting time!" Yi Xiaoqiao turned around and got into the carriage.
The altar nervously grabbed her hand. "Are you crazy? How did you get out? What if they …"
Peach let out a secret sigh of relief, "Miss, you are too bold. That Zhou Fei is really powerful. He was able to fight one against a hundred on the battlefield in the past."
"So what? A level 1 official has squashed a person to death. No matter how powerful they are, aren't they afraid of the prince?" Yi Xiaoqiao patted her chest. She was also a little afraid. That man's aura was too strong, as if he had crawled out from hell. Fortunately, she had trained with Muyi in the past few days, otherwise her legs would have gone soft.
"What do we do now?" Peach said in a low voice, "They've caught you right now. If you don't go back, the emperor will punish you."
"It's not like I have an edict."
"You did not accept the decree, but the general did. Unless you die, you must marry the general."
Yi Xiaoxiao felt her heart skip a beat. Why are there so many things between you ancients? How troublesome.
Lifting up the curtain, he looked outside and saw the green mountains outside, verdant and towering.
"What should we do? Don't look at the scenery. Is this the time to look at the scenery? " Peach lowered the curtain, "I told you not to go back to Yu City. You didn't listen to me, so what should we do now? "The Emperor bestowed the marriage, are you sure you want to marry the general?"
"Of course I …" Yi Xiaoxiao took a sip of this sentence and felt that it was a bit weird. She turned her head to look at Peach. "Weren't you trying to get us to match up?"
"I want to match you all, but Princess Yun Jiao is too treacherous. I don't want her to succeed right now." Peaches also did as they pleased.
"…" Yi Xiaoqiao was speechless. She said after a while, "Let's go to the temple first. We can think of a way to escape later."
If only you had truly run away! If you had returned and not got married, then you would have become a disgrace to the imperial edict!
Yi Xiaoqiao spread out her hands. "I'm all alone, how can I have nine clans?"
"You didn't, the general did!"
"Alright, I got it. If there's really no other way, then say that after I burn the incense, I accidentally fell down the mountain and died. If I fall to my death, then I don't need to marry him."
To tell the truth, Yi Xiaoqiao did not think that Qianyu was willing to kill Muyi. After all, the war in the north was unstable, and the continuous invasion of the northern border was causing the Qiangan to suffer a great headache. Without Muyi, it would be equivalent to opening up the northern gate.
Of course, there was no need for Zhang Xuan to explain these words to Tao Zi and the others. If he were to explain it to them, it wouldn't be clear either.
As she was thinking about this matter, the carriage had already arrived at the foot of the mountain of the Mascot Temple.
As expected, Zhou Fei and his men followed them closely from behind, not too far away.
Yi Xiao Qiao got off the carriage and looked back. She lifted the curtain and said, "Altar, don't come down. When we get to the mountain, you can leave with your things and wait for me in Fringe City."
"I'll go to Fringe City myself …"
"Don't worry, I've already put the silver taels away. There is also a land deed in there, it's an inn in Fringe City. When you arrive, go to the general's mansion and find Vice General Ling. He'll help you." Peach whispered, "You'll only be a burden to little Joe if you stay here."
The altar nodded. "I understand. Little Qiao, I will wait for you in Fringe City."
"I'll leave the inn to you, it's fine if you lose everything. As long as you're a good person, it's fine."
The altar nodded its head repeatedly.
Peach supported Yi Xiaoqiao as they slowly walked up the mountain.
Zhou Fei and the others followed.
"I think my suggestion is pretty good. The altar is about the same height as you, so I couldn't tell if you were pretending or not." Peach whispered, "Why not?"
"I don't want to hurt the altar." Yi Xiaoqiao walked up the mountain step by step. "It's not like you didn't see the fiendish looks of those people. The altar is just an ordinary girl. If you let her face these people, she will definitely be scared."
"Then what should we do now? When you get to the mountain, you won't be able to get down any more. Are you really going to get down? "
"Then let's go back. If it doesn't work, we'll poison them all." With that, Yi Xiaoqiao heaved a sigh of relief. She clasped her hands together and said, "I did not say anything. I did not say anything. Please don't blame me, Buddha."
Previously, she didn't believe in ghosts or gods, but now that she had come to this book, what else could she not believe in? She could only pray that she left this book as soon as possible.
"Why don't we find the general to save us?"
"There's no need to look for him. He'll be there shortly."
When this matter was brought up, Yi Xiaoxiao's heart felt stifled.
"How do you know?"
Yi Xiaoqiao pointed behind him. "They all know. Your highness will definitely know. Your highness will know, and the emperor will know. Do you think Muyi can still sit here if he knows?" Can't he behave and come to me? "
"…"
Peaches disdainfully curled her lips. "Your guessing is too flawless."
Before he finished his sentence, they suddenly heard the clatter of a horse's hooves behind them. Everyone looked towards the source of the sound and saw a red horse galloping towards the foot of the mountain like a red lightning bolt.
He was dressed in black clothes, and his hair was as black as ink. The corners of his clothes and hair danced in the wind, and his entire person was like a black hawk that was flying towards them.
Yi Xiaoqiao stood still and turned around to look at him. As he got closer, the color in her eyes became deeper and deeper. She nervously held onto Peach until her expression changed.
"Little Qiao, what are you doing? My hand hurts!"
"I'm not doing anything, I'm just …" Yi Xiaoqiao clutched her beating heart. She was fine, but she felt that Muyi's appearance on the horse was just too handsome …
