When the man heard this, he found Yangyang more interesting. "Why do you think so?"

"You are not from Dapu country, and you are wearing a green colored glass belt around your waist. Only the people of Rong country have that thing!" Before Yangyang could say anything, the man with the big knife suddenly drew his knife out of its sheath.

The tall man raised his hand and waved, and the man put the knife back.

The man asked, "Go on?"

"Those stinky guys just now were just hired by you to cause chaos. They don't have any real skills."

"And the two men beside you have calluses all over their knuckles, steady feet, and light breathing. They must be top-notch masters. The knives in their hands are forged from black iron, and the handles are inlaid with green stones."

Yangyang paused, pouted and chuckled,

"You must be from a martial arts family or aristocratic family of the Darong Kingdom,"

"So, if you, a noble from the Da Rong country, kill a person from my Da Pu country, it will cause war and hostility between the two countries. The most you can do is to take me hostage, but you won't kill me."

Yangyang spoke so clearly and logically that Ji Ming, who was sitting beside her crying, was dumbfounded.

The half-kneeling man also gave her a look of admiration, but said, "I won't kill you, but I can kidnap you!"

"No," Yangyang affirmed.

"Because you were looking at the ring on my waist just now. You can tell that it is something extraordinary. That's why you chose to tie me instead of anyone else."

"So, you must be wondering now, who am I? Am I a bargaining chip to force me to leave the city?"

“Hahaha!” the man laughed. “Don’t be so self-righteous. There is no one in this world that I dare not kill.”

As he said that, he pulled out the dagger from his waist and put it against Ji Ming's neck, looking at Yang Yang provocatively, "How about I kill him first?"

"No, no, no, don't kill me," Ji Ming was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. "This hero, I know who she is!"

You are such a good Ji Ming. Yangyang just helped him, but I didn't expect him to turn his back on me so quickly.

As expected, good-looking men are always troublemakers! Men’s words are deceiving!

"Who do you think she is?" The tall man turned around and looked at Ji Ming, but the knife in his hand was still pressed against Ji Ming's neck without loosening his grip.

Ji Ming completely ignored Yangyang's cold face and said angrily, "Her jade pendant was given by the Queen Mother."

"I heard from some noble ladies a few days ago that the Queen Mother wanted to marry the eldest daughter of the Xue family to General Tang Yuwei, the man of the eldest princess, so at the second daughter of Xue's coming-of-age ceremony, she gave the eldest daughter of Xue a top-quality white jade ring.

"Look at the ring on this young lady. It's translucent and beautifully carved. Her two attendants are also stunningly beautiful. I think she must be Miss Xue."

Yangyang really wanted to beat Ji Ming up, but there was no need to describe it in such detail!

If she had known that gossip about ancient people spread so quickly, she would not have worn these useless rings and pendants.

If Jia's dowry had not been completely controlled by Old Madam Xue, she would not have had any valuable items and would not have thought of using this to make up the number and lure Ji Ming today.

But Ji Ming seemed to have something more to say, and continued, "It's just that everyone says Miss Xue is a fool, but I think she is quite normal! I'm afraid it's not..."

"Yes, yes, yes! Miss Xue is a fool, do I look like a fool?" Yangyang laughed, trying to get away with it.

The man quickly put away the knife and tapped Ji Ming on the head. Ji Ming fell to the ground and fainted.

Yangyang was shocked and made up a story, "I, I'm really not the eldest daughter of the Xue family. I'm just the daughter of a wealthy businessman."

But who would have thought that the man would turn around and untie the rope on Yangyang's wrists behind her back.

"Yangyang, are you Yangyang?" The man looked at Yangyang expectantly, and Yangyang unconsciously felt a sense of intimacy.

"Oh, oh!" Yangyang's mind raced, and before he could think of a good way to respond,

The man smiled and excitedly placed his hands on Yangyang's shoulders, "Yangyang, I'm your third uncle!"

Third uncle? What the hell?

Yangyang's eyes were wide open, and he looked confused.

"Yangyang, your mother, Jia Tong'er, I held her in my arms when I was five years old. At that time, your mother had just been born, with a rosy little face, so cute! Hehe!"

When the man spoke, his solemn look changed and he became more like a fool.

Seeing that Yangyang was still puzzled, the man said,

"Your grandfather and my father were brothers. When your grandfather passed away, my father was sad for a long time."

"I wanted to take good care of your mother and grandmother on behalf of your grandfather, but not long after, the relationship between the two countries deteriorated, and your grandmother and mother were taken back to Beijing by your great grandfather. Later, when you were born, your mother sent a message for us to take your life."

The man looked at Yangyang, his eyes gleaming with moisture.

"Who gave me my name?" Yangyang asked, unable to believe that she had such a handsome uncle.

"I! I chose it. Isn't your country Dapu known as a great country? I also hope that our country Rong can be like Dapu..."

The man said proudly, but hesitated for a while, "You are the common child of Dapu and Rongguo! So, Yangyang!"

Yangyang nodded, a tear fell from her eyes, and she wiped it away hastily with her sleeve, "Third Uncle, what can I do to help you?"

The man smirked and said, "Kid, everyone says you are born stupid, but I don't believe it. How could the descendants of our Jia family be stupid? Hahaha!"

Yangyang could tell from his evasive expression that he didn't want to know what they were doing.

Because this thing could be dangerous!

Yangyang looked at the other two men standing at the stern. One was calmly paddling to the shore, while the other just looked at Yangyang helplessly.

The boat docked, and Yangyang got off the boat with the three people.

There were a few horses tied up on a meadow not far away, perhaps they had been prepared for it.

Yangyang's third uncle was about to say something to Yangyang, but suddenly the sound of heavy horse hooves came from the other side of the woods.

It was so fast that it rushed out of the forest and headed straight towards them.

Yangyang's uncle protected Yangyang behind him and took a closer look. "How come they got here so quickly?"

Another man gritted his teeth and said, "Those people from the Jinglin Division in Xiaoyou Garden were just a cover. They wanted to capture us alive here, and we fell into their trap."

Originally, if we captured one hostage, we would have a chance of escaping, but now there are so many hostages.

Yangyang saw that her third uncle was protecting her tightly, and she thought that he would not use her as a threat to escape.

Yangyang poked half of his head out from behind his third uncle, and then took another look. Wasn’t the leader Tang Yuwei?

Yangyang said, "Third uncle, General Tang is here to arrest you!"

"He has been tracking us for almost a month. We lost a lot of people in Jiaohua Mountain last time!"

When Yangyang heard this, she suddenly paused and recalled the last time she heard Jiang Chi's report in Jiaohua Mountain.

"Third uncle, hurry up, hold me hostage!" Yangyang quickly pulled out the dagger from his third uncle's waist and put it against his own neck.
