Enter Chang Xiangsi and help Jingzhai fight

Suddenly, an arrow flew through the air. Then, Wang Laoliu's screams were heard.

I suddenly opened my eyes and saw Wang Laoliu was shot through the heart from behind, lying on Senying, bleeding all over. Xing Laosan looked back in panic, turned around and ran away.

A sound of horse hooves could be heard from afar, and several arrows were shot quickly and landed in front of Xing Lao San, blocking his way. He did not dare to run away, and knelt on the spot with his head in his hands.

A moment later, a group of people and horses came galloping over. A soldier in armor tied up Xing Lao San, and another one took a sword to cut the rope tied to the tree, but he couldn't cut the rope tied to my body. He had no choice but to help me up, turned around, stood at attention, and said, "Report! This rope can't be cut!"

At this moment, I looked at Xiaowei and saw that a large piece of her thorn had been pulled out, and her flesh and blood were all over the place. She had fainted from the pain and curled up into a small ball.

A penetrating voice sounded behind him: "Who is this man? Tell me your name."

I turned around slowly, looked up and saw the people I least wanted to see besides the two thieves.

He was wearing a black python tights, a black cloak, a fur collar, and sitting high on his horse. He looked handsome and noble. He had a stern look, and under his thin eyelids were a pair of slightly ruthless eyes that looked intimidating without anger.

It’s Xuan.

Seeing that I didn't say anything, the subordinate next to him shouted, "I'm asking you a question? Are you scared?!"

I knelt down quickly and said in a deep voice: "I am Ruiyang, and I was going back to my hometown to visit my relatives. Unexpectedly, thieves hijacked our car on the way and took us all the way here. Thank you for saving my life."

I heard the sound of Xuan turning over and getting off his horse. He came over, drew his sword and cut the ropes that bound me, then opened the body of Wang Laoliu, untied the cloak and threw it on Senying. Senying grabbed the cloak, wrapped herself tightly, hugged herself tightly and screamed loudly. I hurried over, hugged her and comforted her: "It's okay, it's okay."

Sen Ying held my hand tightly, tears streaming down her face: "I want to go home! I want to go back to Qingqiu! Take me back now!"

I held her in my arms and comforted her softly, "We'll be back soon, don't be afraid..."

Xuan asked with great interest: "Qingqiu? What's your name?"

I didn't dare look at him, I just bowed my head and said, "My name is Ruiyang."

He looked at me carefully and asked, "Where do you live? What do you do for a living? Where are you going this time? Who is this person to you?"

Here I go again... Why does everyone who sees me these days ask me the same question?

I had no choice but to start making up a story: "I... live near Qingqiu. I usually run a musical instrument business. This time my business failed, so I have to return to my hometown to live with my relatives. This is my... wife, named Senying."

He repeated, "Qingqiu." His eyes were sharp, scanning me from head to toe.

"He is lying! He is obviously a servant, the servant of that young master named Bai Haoyue! This girl is not his wife, but Bai Haoyue's maid!" Xing Lao San suddenly shouted in a hoarse voice.

I glared at him fiercely, seeing that he looked like he would have no future if I wasn't doing well, I wanted to slap him in the face twice.

I immediately clasped my fists to Xuanxuan and explained, "Please forgive me, sir! I was afraid that the matter would get out of hand and the young master would blame me, so I wanted to hide it from you and sneak back with Senying, pretending that nothing had happened, so I lied."

Xuanxuan curled the corners of his lips and smiled faintly: "Oh? You are quite clever."

I cupped my hands and said, "My Lord, you are too kind. I dare not."

Xuanxuan smiled and said, "I think you are very brave! Then let me ask you two, what is the name of the relative you are seeking refuge with?"

Senying was startled, clutching the lapels of her cloak tightly with both hands, and looked at me with pursed lips.

I could only look at her helplessly.

Xuanxuan said, "I'll count to three, two, one. You two say it together. Three, two, one."

"Tu Shanying."

"Akasui—hmm."

Sen Ying and I spoke at the same time, saying two names without any tacit understanding. Yes, I don't know what Mrs. Tushan's maiden name is, let alone the names of any of Jing's elders. This question is unanswerable for me.

Xuan laughed again, and he seemed to be thinking about something. He asked me with a smile: "Who is Chishuen? Are you fooling me again?"

A group of people came up from behind and surrounded me and Moriwarb.

I knew I would have a hard time getting through today, so I just lowered my eyes and said nothing.

Seeing that I had lost my temper, Xuan turned to face Senying. I saw that his expression changed, and this time he smiled like a spring breeze, melting the ice in his eyes just now. He asked softly: "My lady, don't be afraid, tell me the truth, I won't embarrass you. I am in charge of the northern part of Gaoxin, and I ask you questions to find out the truth and do things according to the rules. I hope you will cooperate, and I can escort you back after I finish asking you."

Sen Ying looked at me, then at him, and answered carefully, "I am indeed a maid, just like him, I am traveling with Master Bai Haoyue. As for who I am going to, I think the Master didn't tell him, so he doesn't know the details."

At this time, a man who looked like an officer who had been following Xuan came forward and whispered something in his ear.

Xuan took two steps and murmured, "The bright moon reflects Sulan... the bright moon..."

A gust of cold wind blew past, and I couldn't help but shiver. Xuan turned around suddenly, which scared me. He walked closer to me and sniffed. I didn't dare to breathe and stood there like a quail.

"Jun Yi, take these two down!"

"Yes, my lord!" The officer named Jun Yi stepped forward and twisted my arm, and I screamed in pain.

One of the people surrounding us from behind also grabbed the warbler, and her snow-white arms were pulled out of her cloak, like a fragile white bird.

"Sir, it's unfair! We are all good people, we were really kidnapped by the bad guys!" Sen Ying pleaded with tears.

Xuanxuan didn't look at her, but looked at Junyi behind me and asked, "Junyi, do you think they should be arrested?"

Jun Yi's voice came from behind: "We are all getting stupider. I hope the Lord can teach us."

Xuan said, "Smell the scent on him."

Jun Yi leaned against me and took a deep breath, then replied, "I only smelled a faint fragrance."

"Smell her again."

Jun Yi twisted me and walked to Sen Ying's side. He said "Excuse me", and sniffed Sen Ying's hair. He thought for a moment and replied, "My Lord, she smells better. It smells like...osmanthus hair oil?"

Xuan said: "That's right. Then can you tell what the smell is on Ruiyang's body?"

Jun Yi sniffed at me again and replied, "I can't answer, I just know it smells good."

Xuan looked at me straight in the eyes and said, "It's normal that you don't know. This is the scent of sandalwood and frankincense. You can't even afford it with your annual salary. How can he, a servant of a poor family, afford such precious spices?"
