Chapter 84 Bandits (2) [VIP]
The gentleman was still elegant and spotless, his jade crown and brocade robe elegant and spotless, without a trace of disorder. He must have been knocked unconscious in the woods yesterday and had not yet woken up, and did not know that he was imprisoned.
She slowly sheathed her sword and squatted in front of him.
Chu Qingluo's gaze finally softened, and she spoke so that the bandits could hear: "He's fine, I'll take him away."
"Want to leave?" Hearing this, the woman sneered and ordered sternly, "Tie this girl up too!"
"Boss... Boss, think twice..." The bandits in the village hurriedly advised in a trembling voice. They all stood where they were and no one dared to move.
Looking angrily, the woman saw mysterious figures appearing one by one behind the bandits. The cold sword pointed directly at their vital points. It seemed that they had been defeated without realizing it, and had no choice but to let the gentle woman do whatever she wanted.
Now she no longer had the heart to tease him, so Chu Qingluo gently shook the young man's thin shoulders, trying to wake him up as soon as possible: "Sir, sir..."
The young man in front of him seemed to have been awakened. He opened his clear eyes dazedly, a look of confusion flashing across his eyes: "Where is this place..."
She smiled softly and replied, then respectfully helped her husband up and led him step by step out of the village, away from this dirty place.
"They are just a bunch of thieves. I will help you get out of this den of bandits."
The village road they passed was lined with bandits on both sides, and they retreated tremblingly, making way for the two men.
Perhaps he could guess the whole story, so Qu Han didn't ask a single question and followed her out of the village in silence.
It was rare for her to see her husband so obedient, so she couldn't help but slow down her pace and put her arm around his sleeves with a faint smile.
"Master, those bandits..." Ning Zhu came hurriedly, bowed his head and asked what should be done with these bandits who offended you.
"Why ask me? Just kill them all."
The reply was extremely harsh, and he didn't want to look back. Chu Qingluo held the gentleman's arm tightly, signaling him not to turn around and look back, but to just keep going.
Not long after, shrill screams and pleas for mercy were heard over the village. After just a moment, the thieves' den at the back was as quiet as before.
Or in other words, it fell into dead silence.
Fu Zhao had already obeyed the order and left. Without even glancing around, she knew that the place was flooded with blood. From then on, no one in this area of the mountains would be robbed by bandits again.
Seeing that the young master beside him was still silent, he must have guessed the tragedy behind him. Chu Qingluo said indifferently, "They want to harm you, sir. This time they deserve to die."
"Why don't you argue, sir?" Guessing that he might feel sympathy for the bandits again, she pursed her lips and asked again.
"Qingluo is so domineering. Who dares to refute him?" Qu Hanjin said clearly after a moment of deep thought, his response extremely sincere. "Besides, after the lesson I learned last time, I have deeply repented. From now on, all mistakes are mine. Qingluo is innocent."
She turned her eyes to examine his demeanor. He truly had no scruples at all. His deep eyes held a sharpness and coldness similar to hers. He was determined to help her exterminate the one she wanted to kill.
A hint of joy appeared in her eyes, and Chu Qingluo raised her eyebrows slightly, whispering shyly, "Sir, you look like a husband..."
There was a cold wind blowing at the foot of the mountain, and the autumn wind was blowing gently, and the dead leaves on the branches fell one after another. He stiffened when he heard the words and asked in surprise.
"You just said...husband?"
She didn't understand why her husband was so surprised. If this wedding really happened, they would have to change their names sooner or later. There was nothing wrong with that...
"After we get married, you will be my husband, what's wrong with that?" She asked in a tender voice, feeling the drizzle falling, and complained with a curled lip.
"It's raining again in late autumn..."
The delicate figure beside him had just gone into the bandit's den alone, swinging her sword fiercely to kill people, but now she became obedient and shy in front of him, and the charm that she inadvertently revealed made him lose his mind.
Qu Hanjin suddenly felt greedy and really wanted to find a hidden place to take her in without any care.
However, he finally restrained himself and thought that they would be together day and night in the future, so he let her go for now.
Faced with this delicate beauty, he had crossed the line several times, and it seemed that he could no longer resist her. Now, with just a gentle beckoning from her, he was willing to give all his help and bear the whole world for her.
He smiled faintly, opened the crane cloak, and wrapped her in his arms, carefully shielding her from the rain: "Come into the cloak, your husband will cover you."
He deliberately said the word "husband" softly, a hint of smug joy in his solemnity. It was as if if she called him a few more times, he would have a few sweet dreams in a row...
"Then what should we do, sir?" Chu Qingluo felt something was wrong when he said that. She unconsciously shifted her gaze and quietly changed her address back to the original.
The rain was getting heavier. The young man held her tightly in his arms and ran with her in the drizzle: "It's just a gentle rain, it won't be a problem."
"Thank you, sir."
She answered politely for a while, but then felt that her words were too distant.
"We've known each other for such a long time, and you're still thanking me?" The clear brows were indeed furrowed. Qu Hanjin glanced at her helplessly, then walked along the eaves and returned to Si Yuefu.
The master returned safely, so she didn't have to lie anymore. The girls in the mansion could continue to practice music with peace of mind, and Fu Guang could also give an explanation to General Xue.
The raindrops fell on her skirt, even though she was in a happy mood. She took a few steps and let the raindrops fall on her thin skirt.
She was just trying to stay close to him, but the sky was already wet. She had just taken two or three steps into the house when she
I hope you are well, sir.
Fu Guang told the truth, "Princess Mu Xiao has been waiting in the side hall for a long time. She is here to look for... to look for Miss Chu."
Earlier, the princess had tried to make a scene in the side hall, and she was in a state of great rage. She had tied the princess up and kissed the gentleman in public, which must have completely infuriated Mu Xiao.
Originally, he wanted to apologize to the princess and make amends, but it was because the princess was familiar with Xue Chen and could recruit the elite soldiers of Daning.
Later, due to some strange circumstances, she failed to go, but now there is no need to talk about it anymore. She remembered that General Xue came to her house late at night yesterday, and he must have had some plans.
"I understand. You can leave now."
Qu Hanjin gave the order in a solemn voice, and the figure that had been standing in the corridor walked calmly towards the side hall.
After hesitating for a moment, Fu Guang lowered his voice to remind him, then bowed and withdrew: "The princess's visit this time is not a good one. Sir and Miss need to be more careful."
She was originally confused as to why the princess made a messenger servant feel unkind, but when she entered the villa, she finally understood.
Fallen leaves were drifting beside the corridor. Princess Mu Xiao stood quietly in the garden with a long sword in her hand. The sword was unsheathed and the sword light seemed to be rushing towards her.
Qu Han was caught off guard by this scene. He bowed politely, but his eyes were fixed on the sword blade. "I didn't know the princess would come today. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. I hope the princess will forgive me."
"Did you really kneel for three days... before you got the marriage decree from His Majesty?" Mu Xiao asked without hesitation, his eyes filled with resentment. He still couldn't believe that he had lost to a zither girl.
The jealousy on that face was never concealed. Besides jealousy and hatred, what was also daunting was the murderous aura emanating from his body.
This time the princess seemed furious and came to take her life.
She stood gracefully, knowing that although the princess had murderous intentions, she did not dare to actually kill her.
The jade-like young man stared intently, pondered for a long moment, and responded in a deep voice: "Mu Xiao, I am not your beloved, why do you trap yourself in a cage and make things difficult for yourself..."
"Self-conceit... Is this what you want to say, sir?" Mu Xiao stared at the sir with eyes as blazing as fire, with tears flickering in them. He chuckled at himself, still holding the sword tightly, "Hahahahaha..."
She was already particularly annoyed with this princess. She knew she couldn't keep the gentleman's heart, but she still kept coming here to bother him. Chu Qingluo suddenly felt that she was too kind. She should have done something more intimate with the gentleman that day to let the princess know everything.
She snorted coldly as she approached, and replied rudely, "Sir, you need to rest. The princess is an outsider. If you disturb her again, you won't even be able to enter this courtyard in the future."
She pretended to be leisurely when she said the word "outsider", which was already an order for her husband to leave.
"You!" How could a woman dare to be so arrogant? Mu Xiao's anger intensified, his rage burning wantonly. "You rely on the master's favor, and you dare to be so arrogant? Do you really think I will tolerate it again and again?"
The princess had long considered this house her own, showing no respect to the master. Chu Qingluo smiled serenely and continued, "I've never asked the princess to tolerate me, nor do I need her to. The master has always allowed the princess to enter this elegant courtyard out of consideration for the difference in status. Is the princess still unaware of this?"
"Sir, you like quietness. The princess always comes to disturb you in a self-righteous manner, and you have long been tired of her." She stopped talking suddenly, and then her red lips curled slightly, and every word was like a knife cutting into the heart, making Yingzi furious.
"The princess is so annoying, don't you know it?"
"I will kill you!" The anger came like a storm. Staring at the beautiful figure in front of him, Mu Xiao had lost his mind and swung down the silver sword fiercely.
The sword blade stopped in mid-air.
When she regained consciousness, the princess was stunned to see the gentleman catch the sharp blade with his bare hands, and blood gushed out of his palm where he was holding the blade.
His eyes widened in surprise, blood dripping continuously, and Mu Xiao hurriedly let go.
I was shocked to find that I had actually hurt my husband...
After crying bitterly for a few times, the princess' eyes were filled with sorrow, knowing that this feeling was no longer possible.
"Sir..." Mu Xiao called out softly with a choked sob. He pointed at the charming girl in front of him and asked in a low voice, "She is so disrespectful to this princess, and you still protect her?"
Qu Hanjin dropped his sword, stood with his hands hanging down, and let the crimson stain the flowers beside him. "All her mischievous behavior and all her sins are borne by me."
"Did the princess hear clearly?" After hearing this, Chu Qingluo raised her eyebrows and smiled with satisfaction. She did not move a step, just like watching a play, and said leisurely, "Sir, you will be my husband. I am willing to take the punishment for me. If the princess punishes you again, it will be Mr. Qu who will be punished."
From now on, I can no longer wait...
Mu Xiao trembled his fingertips, picked up the sword that fell to the ground, sighed and smiled, and the longing in his eyes was really extinguished.
The blood-stained sword was sheathed, and the princess slowly left the elegant courtyard, muttering, "I am an eyesore to the master and Miss Chu. I am leaving..."
Walking forward to the gate of the courtyard, Mu Xiao congratulated him with a serious expression, and his figure disappeared into the rain and fog.
"Mu Xiao sincerely wishes you to find your soulmate, live with him as your equal, and live forever together."
After this trip, the princess will probably never come to the Music Bureau again in her life and suffer such humiliation for no reason.
