Yuan Yao had no choice but to cooperate.
She closed her eyes and lay softly on the fur.
Danji grabbed a handful of grass haphazardly and threw it over her to cover her up.
As soon as I finished, the door was pushed open.
A voice said, "Second Brother, I'm back."
“What about the others?” Danji asked.
The man replied, "I don't know. Several of us went to distract the man in black; he's too cunning!"
Luckily, there were many of us, and he was coaxed around so much that he probably got lost.
Second brother, you were smart enough to send a few more brothers. Otherwise, if we had fought him, we wouldn't have had enough men to fight him..."
On the ground, Yuan Yao's eyes were half-open.
Standing by the door was a skinny man with dark skin.
Yuan Yao also had some impression of this person.
At that time, as spring approached, this person and Danji mocked her together!
OK!
Today, they've all gathered together!
Last time I wanted to dine and dash at her Four Seasons Spring Restaurant, this time I've kidnapped her...
You're tired of living under the nose of the Ninth Prince, aren't you?
The man in black, are you referring to Broken Moon?
Unexpectedly, these barbarians knew how to use the Thirty-Six Stratagems, completely outmaneuvering Po Yue, a dim-witted bodyguard...
Yuan Yao was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth.
Just then, the skinny man came in: "Hey? Second brother, why did this little girl faint?"
“You were scared, weren’t you?” Danji replied.
"Second Brother is brilliant and mighty!" the skinny man clapped his hands and praised, "Even a little baby was stunned by Second Brother!"
Second Brother's skills are truly impressive! He captured the person without lifting a finger!
"Cough cough." Danji patted his muscular chest and said smugly, "Don't you know who I am!"
Upon hearing this, the skinny man bent over and continued to praise, "From now on, Second Brother will be our leader. I've known for a long time that Second Brother is more reliable than Big Brother."
The eldest brother only knows how to lead the brothers to their deaths. The second brother is much better; he cares about the brothers and finds a way for them to survive.
Danji was overjoyed by the praise.
He raised his head and asked, "Has there been any word from the brother who went to deliver the message to the envoy from Xiqiu?"
"No," the skinny man replied. "Tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Those salaried guys are here in Daqi to eat and drink for free!"
They said they came to see the Third Prince, but once they arrived, they spent all their time in brothels and red-light districts!
Upon hearing this, Danji pondered for a moment and said to the skinny man, "Go to the brothel quickly and tell them that we have already obtained the jade talisman."
"Have them send a message back to Xiqiu, to the Emperor, requesting that I and my leading brothers be appointed generals. Then I will take the jade tally and lead the Chishan Army to surrender to the court!"
The skinny man looked on with admiration and praised him vigorously: "Second Brother acts decisively, he truly deserves to be a man who does great things!"
With the death of his elder brother, the 30,000-strong Chishan Army fell into disarray.
Second Brother, by uniting the scattered forces to serve the court, you will utterly defeat the Great Qi and achieve lasting fame!
"Alright, alright, stop praising me, hurry up and go find someone!" Danji urged, waving his hand.
The skinny man beamed and jogged out the door.
"call……"
Yuan Yao let out a breath.
She's so jealous of skinny girls!
That skinny guy, every single word he said was flattery!
She had lived two lives, and this was the first time she had ever seen someone so adept at flattery!
"Hello."
Danji, holding a short knife, squatted down next to Yuan Yao.
Yuan Yao rubbed her eyes: "What's wrong?"
Danji twirled the knife in his hand, his braided beard trembling slightly: "Little girl, I'm asking you, where exactly did you put that jade?"
“Yu…” Yuan Yao pursed her lips: “It seems to be in my pocket.”
"In the pocket?" Danji's eyes widened. "Which pocket?"
Yuan Yao said innocently, "Let me think about it..."
Just now, from what the skinny man said, this group of people wanted to use the jade talisman to summon an army called the "Red Mountain Army".
That army actually numbered 30,000?
The skinny man also said that he would bring this army to attack the Great Qi?
Therefore, that piece of jade must not be given to them!
The Third Prince they're talking about... could it be Feng Xun...?
"Have you remembered?" Danji urged.
"Don't rush me." Yuan Yao frowned and said, "I almost remembered, but you scared me so much that I forgot again!"
Danji said fiercely, "Then hurry up! If you wait, my brother will be back, and you might just kick the bucket!"
Even if your father is an emperor, he can't stop my brother from killing you!
Yuan Yao: "..."
She was really scared!
Barbarians, indeed barbarians!
It seems that stalling for time is ineffective.
Yuan Yao's mind raced for a moment before she was about to speak: "Danji?"
"What's wrong with you now, you little brat?" Danji asked with a dark face.
Just as Yuan Yao was about to speak, she suddenly heard a very faint rubbing sound next to her ear.
It's like the sound of scales rubbing against blades of grass...
Yuan Yao looked around following the sound.
Three steps away from her, a thin, black, unidentified object slowly swam towards her.
Before she could speak, Danji shouted, "Good heavens! There's a snake!"
He took the dagger and was about to stab the small black snake.
Yuan Yao looked at the small white snake swimming towards her on the other side and said to Danji, "Wait..."
Before she could finish speaking, the little white snake suddenly sprang up and bit Danji's arm.
"ah……"
The screams nearly ripped the roof off.
Yuan Yao stared, dumbfounded.
After being bitten by the snake, Danji collapsed to the ground and began to convulse.
He opened his mouth and said to Yuan Yao, "Run...run fast..."
run?
Was he telling her to escape?
But wasn't he trying to capture her to get the jade talisman back?
Seeing that she was still cowering and not moving, Danji reached out and grabbed the little white snake that had bitten him, black blood trickling from the corner of his mouth: "Run away..."
Yuan Yao hesitated, then stood up and was about to run outside.
"Bang!"
The door was kicked open.
The skinny man who had escaped earlier was thrown on the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
The skinny man lay limply on the ground like a rag doll, it was unclear whether he was dead or alive...
Yuan Yao immediately raised her sleeve to cover her mouth and nose.
The person who entered stood against the light by the door, tall and straight, with wide sleeves fluttering.
The thin mist shrouded his figure, making him appear like a dream.
Yuan Yao blinked: "Father..."
With a wave of his sleeve, the two snakes, one white and one black, obediently slithered out along the corner of the wall.
His gaze was deep as he walked over and pulled Yuan Yao up: "Are you injured?"
Yuan Yao shook her head.
The Ninth Prince scrutinized her slightly pale face: "Were you frightened?"
His voice was somewhat cool, and carried a hint of alcohol.
Yuan Yao felt guilty, her small, childlike voice trembling slightly: "I'm afraid of snakes..."
In particular, the snake bit Danji, which really frightened her.
I never imagined such a small snake could be so venomous...
Bending down, he pulled Yuan Yao into his arms and coldly said, "Get out here!"
Two shadowy figures stood to one side, heads bowed.
One is a shadow, the other is a broken moon...
The air pressure is very low.
The nine thousand-year-old's embrace was icy cold.
Even the wine tasted cold.
This was the result of using his light-footed skills to rush from the palace...
Yuan Yao felt sorry for herself and wanted to slap herself.
At this moment, the Ninth Prince looked down at her with a sinister gaze and a hint of gritted teeth in his voice: "Yuan Yao, I really can't do anything with you!"
If anything happens to you, I will send everyone to hell!
