A bowl of water was handed to Yuan Yao: "If you want water, there's no water; if you want poison, here's a bowl. Will you drink it or not?"
"drink."
Yuan Yao was extremely thirsty.
She moved her hand and said to the kidnapper, "Untie me."
"you……"
The kidnappers were so angry they laughed.
Inside the carriage were only the kidnapper and Yuan Yao.
Outside the carriage, however, who knows...
However, Yuan Yao had a gut feeling that the kidnappers probably didn't want her dead.
Perhaps the kidnappers want to capture her and use her to blackmail the Grand Prince in exchange for something...
What should we change it to?
military power?
Or perhaps a regime?
Surely they wouldn't be trying to use her to make money, would they?
wrong……
Yuan Yao looked up: "Did Jiang Lanyue send you?"
As the kidnapper poured water, he said, "If I were Jiang Lanyue's man, would you still be alive today?"
Not Jiang Lanyue?
But, does he know Jiang Lanyue?
Who exactly is this person?
Just as Yuan Yao was lost in thought, the bowl was brought to her lips.
The kidnapper said gruffly, "Hurry up and drink it! There's no way I'm going to untie you. Who knows if you'll run away if I do?"
If you cause any more trouble, I'll knock you out!
Yuan Yao: "..."
What brutal kidnappers!
She brought her lips to the rim of the bowl and drank the entire bowl of water in one gulp.
After drinking the water, her throat finally felt much better.
My spirits have also improved a lot.
Yuan Yao shifted her body, trying to peek out through the crack in the car window.
Between this fainting spell and waking up, it seems that quite a lot of time has passed.
Oh, right...
Yuan Yao suddenly looked up and asked, "Where's Huairou? Where did you take Huairou?"
What will Feng Xun do if something happens to Huairou?
The kidnapper glanced at her and said, "I'm telling you, you can't even protect yourself, and you're still thinking about others?"
“Huairou is none other than this!” Yuan Yao retorted.
The kidnapper chuckled and said gruffly, "I'm after you. As for that Princess Huairou, don't worry, she's perfectly fine!"
I have absolutely no interest in her.
Yuan Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good that Huairou is alright...
But what should she do?
Yuan Yao tried to find a more comfortable position.
She glanced at the kidnapper.
The kidnapper was about 1.7 meters tall, not very tall, with a bulky body, but a very small head.
He was dressed in coarse cloth clothes, his hair was wrapped in a cotton hat, and his eyebrows were thick and black, almost covering his eyes.
Moreover, his entire face was covered in a long, messy beard, making it impossible to tell what he looked like...
Yuan Yao squinted.
This person deliberately dressed up like this.
Indeed, how could someone like that get into the Imperial Guard camp?
I wonder which family's young master or guard he is...
Yuan Yao looked up: "Hey, what time is it now?"
"Guess?" the kidnapper said gruffly.
Yuan Yao: "..."
I really want to smash this kidnapper's head in.
Let him be arrogant!
Seeing her discomfitured expression, the kidnapper mocked her gruffly, "Your Majesty is skilled in martial arts and ruthless."
It's truly unexpected that such a capable person would raise such a delicate and sweet daughter.
As the saying goes, "Even horses can stumble, and even people can make a mistake."
Yuan Yao: "..."
You can talk about her, but you can't stand talking about her father.
She retorted sarcastically, "Stop the carriage, take a piss by the roadside and look at yourself in the mirror."
"Look at your appearance! If you walked down the street at night, you could probably scare a whole bunch of innocent people to death."
kidnapper: "..."
The kidnapper said fiercely, "If you keep talking so sharp-tongued, I'll pull out your tongue and knock your teeth out!"
"Why don't you try?" Yuan Yao challenged. "Why don't you just kill me?"
kidnapper: "..."
The kidnapper ignored her and asked the driver, "How far are we from the capital of Daqi?"
The person outside the carriage replied, "Thirty li."
Thirty li?
They've already traveled this far from Beijing?
Yuan Yao was slightly shocked.
For the first time, she realized how important the bodyguards were to her...
With her bodyguards gone, killing her would be an easy task for anyone else...
However, so much time has passed, the guards must already know that something happened to her.
Today, Yunchan is also here...
Where is Father?
Father is in the palace today.
What would he do if he knew she had disappeared when the bodyguards left?
Will he go crazy?
For a moment, Yuan Yao became somewhat flustered.
Yuan Yao looked at the kidnapper and decided to lure him with money.
She asked, "Let's make a deal. I'll give you money, and you let me go."
At that time, you will take the money and leave Daqi immediately, disappearing into the distance, and no one will be able to find you.
How much money will it take for you to let me go?
"Ten thousand taels, is that enough?"
The kidnapper paused for a moment, then looked away: "Does Princess Yuan Yao think you're only worth ten thousand taels?"
Yuan Yao pursed her lips: "One hundred thousand taels?"
Upon hearing the number, the kidnapper chuckled: "Princess Yuan Yao, as the daughter of the Ninth Prince, haven't you even inquired about your worth?"
Someone offered a million taels of silver to the Assassins' Guild, offering to buy both your life and the Ninth Prince's, but the Assassins' Guild refused...
Yuan Yao: "???"
How could she not know?!
For a moment, she didn't know whether to marvel at how valuable her and her father's lives were, or to marvel at the loyalty of the assassins...
In recent years, under the covert management of Canfeng, the Assassin's Guild has been doing legitimate business.
Every year, not only does she no longer need to spend money, but she can even earn some money back...
Despite bearing the name of the Assassin's Guild, they did not indiscriminately kill innocent people.
The reason it wasn't renamed was to facilitate information collection.
For example, she suddenly found out her and her father's net worth...
However, who is so rich as to offer a million dollars to save the lives of the father and daughter?
Could it be a crowdfunding project?
Yuan Yao suppressed her curiosity and endured the pain in her heart, saying to the kidnappers, "I am poor, and I am willing to give up everything, whether it is to borrow or to rob, to make up the 300,000 taels of silver."
That should be enough, right?
If I hadn't been bundled up with my dad, I really would be worthless!
"I don't believe your nonsense!"
The kidnapper used the bowl Yuan Yao had used, poured himself a bowl of water, drank it down, roughly wiped his mouth, and then said, "I kidnapped you, not for money!"
Free of charge?
Yuan Yao fell silent.
At this moment, the kidnapper stretched his limbs and asked the people outside the carriage, "Are the horse rations and silver ready?"
"Ready," the person outside replied.
The kidnapper nodded and said, "Stop the car, I need to change horses."
The carriage came to an abrupt stop.
Yuan Yao nearly hit her head on the side of the carriage.
Before she could even sit properly, she was pulled up: "Let's go!"
After a dizzying spin, Yuan Yao was successfully placed on the horse's back.
The kidnapper sat behind her, holding the reins in one hand and supporting her with the other: "Giddy up!"
The horses galloped away like arrows released from a bow...
Yuan Yao stumbled and slammed backward.
Upon the impact, her eyes widened in shock.
She turned her head to look at the person behind her: "You...you actually..."
She has breasts!
It's surprisingly soft!
The person who kidnapped her was actually a woman!
Why kidnap a woman?
and……
Yuan Yao glanced at the setting sun behind her.
They are heading east.
If you continue eastward...
Isn't that the direction of Dongye?!
