It was visible to the naked eye that the queen's already pale face became even uglier.
The jewels are easy to deal with, but if these noble ladies were to be treated like this and go back on their own, wouldn't all the ministers be furious?
The elite soldiers were gradually controlled by the bandits and knelt on the ground in a circle. Chu Zhiyao was in the lead, glaring at the bandits viciously.
Even in this situation, Xu Qingyi still didn't intend to move. He sat quietly aside, as if what happened outside had nothing to do with him.
The blade was approaching the queen's neck, and her mouth was opening and closing in fear. It is not difficult to imagine that when people are extremely frightened, they will lose their reason and will not care about what they say, they just want to be saved.
The Queen is on the verge of collapse.
Those noble ladies in the carriage must have been feeling nervous and scared.
Gu Qingsheng is waiting for an opportunity.
She pursed her lips and lay down at the curtain, no longer caring about the cunning, treacherous and cold-blooded vixen behind her.
A slight stinging pain came from the queen's neck, and she could feel that her neck had been cut.
The last line of defense completely collapsed, and the queen cried and struggled
"Let me go! Let me go! Just let me go! Whatever you do..."
"She's not a queen at all!"
Chu Zhiyao's voice interrupted the queen's last dangerous words in time.
This was a matter of success or failure, and he had done a really good job as a general.
It was this sentence that made everyone hesitate for a moment.
Queen Zheng stared at Chu Zhiyao in a daze, her makeup already smudged from her tears.
"Aren't you the queen?"
He tapped the queen's cheek with the back of his knife. The leader was half-believing and half-doubting. Just then, a bandit came running over with a frown on his face.
"Boss, I doubt she's the queen. Who is the emperor then? How could he allow such an old and faded person to be the queen? She must be one of those wonderful women behind her."
The little bandit winked at the leader, and after hearing what he said, the leader really believed it a little. He grabbed the queen's hair with one hand and shouted towards the carriage:
"You little girls think you can get away with hiding in a carriage? You're going back to the village with me anyway, so it's useless to struggle."
"Where is the queen? If you come out now, I can still spare your life. Otherwise, if you are caught by the grandfathers, you will not have a good end!"
"Or rather..."
His eyes rolled around and he suddenly mentioned the Queen.
"If you don't come down, I will cut her into pieces in front of you."
The queen's eyes were almost blinded by crying, and she was too scared to make a sound.
She didn't know if it was Gu Qingsheng's illusion, but she always felt that Chu Zhiyao was actually a bit indulgent now.
However, this is the opportunity I have been waiting for.
There was silence in the air, and no one dared to take the risk. As long as Gu Qingsheng spoke, he could replace Luo Zhaozhao and take on all the things that happened in his previous life!
As if he had made up his mind, Gu Qingsheng was about to open his mouth when a hand suddenly reached over his shoulder.
Looking back, Xu Qing, who had been motionless, looked at him with a slightly disapproving look.
"I've calculated that reinforcements will arrive soon, so even if we delay now, it won't matter."
"Princess, don't take risks yourself."
Gu Qingsheng put his hand down without hesitation.
"If we don't take risks, how long can we live in peace?"
Leaving behind such an ambiguous sentence, she stood up and was about to get off the carriage
"I am the emperor..."
"I am the Queen!"
Luo Zhaozhao's voice came from behind, covering his own voice.
Gu Qingsheng sighed, he was still a step too late after all.
Then he glared at Xu Qingyi and said, it’s all the old fox’s fault!
Following the sound, Luo Zhaozhao was standing upright in front of the carriage, with a perfect posture and expression.
When the bandits saw her face, their eyes widened.
This appearance was in stark contrast to the queen, who was already disheveled and had a disheveled look.
The leader no longer doubted it and raised his chin towards the bandits over there.
"Tie her up and bring her to me."
The two bandits tied up Luo Zhaozhao and brought him to the leader.
He threw the queen in his hand to the ground like a rag, pulled Luo Zhaozhao over, and pointed the blade at her throat.
"Alright, tell me now, will you agree to our request? If not, you'll all die here!"
Watching Luo Zhaozhao being kidnapped and the moved expression of the Queen on the ground.
Gu Qingsheng was very depressed.
In fact, it’s not Xu Qingyi’s fault. He just suffered the loss of not coming to Luofo Temple in his previous life.
Now it seems that we have to find another way.
She approached Bai Lu, leaned over and said a few words to Bai Lu, and then she saw a hint of surprise flash in Bai Lu's eyes, and she looked hesitantly towards the Queen.
"Princess, I think this..."
Bai Lu spoke hesitantly. She had always been very smart, but now, she couldn't understand what Gu Qingsheng wanted to do.
"Bai Lu!"
Gu Qingsheng said in a deep voice, his voice was very low and his face was much more serious.
"Trust me and do as I say!"
The air seemed to be silent for a few seconds, and it was these words that gave Bai Lu some peace of mind. She nodded slowly, then looked warily at the chaos ahead.
Fortunately, the bandits' eyes did not stay on them.
Finding an opportunity, Bai Lu quietly slipped out from behind the carriage.
"You again..."
Gu Qingsheng's every move fell into Xu Qingyi's eyes. He could see that Gu Qingsheng was planning to take a risk.
The words to stop him were on the tip of his tongue. He looked at Gu Qingsheng, who was standing with his back to him.
There was a large bloodstain on the curtain that emitted a bloody smell. The woman's profile was gentle and delicate next to the curtain, and a small piece of white fluff was very warm in the gap where the sunlight came through.
She paid close attention to the situation outside, her beautiful curly eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes were bright and dazzling.
Xu Qingyi was speechless.
He sighed slowly and lowered his eyes.
That's all.
…
"Hurry! Speak!!"
The leader slapped Luo Zhaozhao's face with the blade again. The cold touch made her hair stand on end and her calves tremble uncontrollably, but she pursed her lips tightly and tried to keep her expression calm.
Even Gu Qingsheng couldn't help but marvel at his composure and dignity.
"I'm willing to take it all on my own. Let them go, and I'll go back to the village with you."
Luo Zhaozhao's voice trembled slightly, her face was pale and she dared not move.
The blade was too close to her, and she felt the immense pressure. Luo Zhaozhao was afraid that her words would anger the bandits, so she continued.
"You can kidnap me and take me back to the village so you can use it to blackmail His Majesty."
"You take us for fools!"
After hearing what she said, the leader glared at her and stabbed her neck with his knife.
"How could the Emperor accept our blackmail? If today's incident gets out, they will definitely send people to suppress the bandits! Then none of us brothers will be able to escape!"
