The distance from here to the entrance of the village is not short.

Many times we encountered bandits rushing back and forth with buckets of water rushing to the fire scene to rescue.

Qingyang and Xu Xinyue hurriedly moved secretly among the sentry posts.

Their breathing was rapid and their heartbeats were very fast.

Xu Xinyue's eyes kept scanning behind her, and the figures of the bandits were still vaguely visible.

Suddenly someone shouted loudly: "Run! The prisoners are running away! Chase them!"

Following the sound, a group of bandits rushed out from all directions. Some of them even dropped their buckets to search around while carrying water to put out the fire.

Xu Xinyue was anxious.

"Miss Xu, they only have hope if you get out as soon as possible."

Xu Xinyue naturally knew what he meant by "they", and began to doubt whether her decision was correct.

But the most urgent task is to get rid of these pursuers.

They turned and ran towards the low eaves of a nearby mountain village, hiding their figures in the darkness. On the way, Qingyang saw some haystacks used to cover food. He tore off a piece of cloth and covered Xu Xinyue's head with it, then continued to run forward.

Suddenly a sharp arrow flashed past his ear, and Xu Xinyue was shocked all over.

Qingyang became alert and immediately drew his sword in defense.

"Here! Catch them!" Another bandit shouted. Qingyang looked in the direction of the voice and saw the crossbowmen on the roof. He quickly recruited other helpers to prepare to besiege Xu Xinyue and Qingyang.

Qingyang pushed Xu Xinyue forward and said, "The exit is in front. Miss Xu, please go to the entrance of the village quickly."

Xu Xinyue knew that he did not know martial arts and would only be a burden if he stayed. Only by leaving Qingyang could he concentrate on fighting without any worries.

"Be careful, I'll go get the reinforcements."

Then she turned and ran towards the village gate.

Seeing this, Qingyang jumped up and fought the crossbowman skillfully. He defeated him in just a few moves.

Qingyang shouted: "Your grandpa is here, come if you can!" After that, he set off a signal firework.

With a "bang", golden sparks exploded, attracting more bandits to chase Qingyang!

Xu Xinyue was worried that Qingyang was outnumbered and had to meet up with Qin Yuechuan as soon as possible!

The door is right in front of me.

But he was suddenly spotted by the bandit soldiers on the observation platform. "Here! Someone escaped. Catch her, the one covered in black cloth!"

This is an empty place. Not only is there no shadow from the eaves, there isn't even a tree.

It's only a short distance away, and there will be support once you exit the village gate.

Just give it a try and take a gamble.

Xu Xinyue didn't care anymore.

He didn't care about the group of bandits who were running behind him after hearing the noise, or the arrows that were brushing past his head, and just rushed forward.

Xu Xinyue was just running forward, but she saw more and more bandits gathering at the entrance of the stronghold.

I thought to myself: It’s over!

She never looked back, nor did she know that an arrow filled with kerosene and burning sparks was flying towards her back.

"Xu Xianyue!"

Only a quick, even rough voice was heard.

She only felt that her feet were lifted off the ground and were being held under her armpits in a very familiar posture.

This posture, this breath, Xu Xinyue's eyes suddenly warmed up: "Qin Yuechuan!"

"Yeah! Hold on tight!"

In his haste, Qin Yuechuan did not notice that she called him by his name instead of "Prince".

Holding Xu Xinyue in one hand, he swung his sword with the other hand, clinking and cutting off the flying arrows.

Another white figure flashed in the distance. Qin Yuechuan leaped several times and stood on the top of the observation platform. He kicked the sentry down and threw Xu Xinyue away.

Before Xu Xinyue could prepare herself to scream out loud, she was "flown" out again.

He was caught by another person in mid-air.

"Miss Xu! Are you okay?"

It’s Qingfeng.

Xu Xinyue felt dizzy and had stars in her eyes. She reluctantly replied, "...not bad."

After landing, she felt her feet were still a little weak, as if she was stepping on a ball of cotton.

Qing Feng helped her steady herself and looked at her with admiration: "Ms. Xu is really amazing. She can remain so calm even after being tossed around in the air like this. An ordinary lady would have fainted long ago..."

After hearing this, Xu Xinyue hadn't slept all night, and with the high intensity of mental tension, and then being "thrown" into the air by Qin Yuechuan, she was really sleepy, and finally murmured:

"You... think too highly of me..."

Knowing that I was safe at the moment, I closed my eyes and lost consciousness, allowing myself to fall into a deep sleep.

Qing Feng got a little anxious when he saw this: "Hey! Miss Xu!?"

"Give her to me." A gentle voice came, Qi Mobai reached out and took Xu Xinyue, letting her lean on him.

"Don't you have a mission?"

Although Qingfeng didn't know why, he extremely didn't want to hand Xu Xinyue over to Qi Mobai.

Maybe it was because I just met him and didn't completely trust him.

But at this time he had to lead his men to support Qin Yuechuan, so he could only clasp his fists and say sullenly: "Excuse me."

After saying that, he turned away.

Qi Mobai carried Xu Xinyue back to the carriage that Qin Yuechuan had ordered to arrive this afternoon.

The simple couch inside was covered with a thin blanket.

Xu Xinyue was sleeping peacefully on it.

Although she was wearing men's clothes at the moment, her face was not changed.

The skin is smooth, white and tender, and as delicate as a baby's.

She has long eyebrows like willows and eyelashes as long as fans.

She has a small nose and petals-like lips.

"Is this what you really look like?"

Qi Mo's eyes were full of spring water, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. He looked at her with an indescribable gentleness and tenderness.

Knowing that she was a girl, he just glanced at her clothes.

Although he looked a little disheveled, there were no signs of cuts from swords or knives, and his body was intact, so I thought he was probably fine.

There were only the two of them here at this time, and there were also palace soldiers left by Qin Yuechuan to guard nearby.

Due to the restrictions on men and women, Qi Mobai did not stay in the carriage for long and quietly left.

Xu Xinyue didn't know how long he had slept, but when he opened his eyes and woke up, he was unable to react for a moment and didn't know where he was.

He stood up and looked around at the furnishings. When he saw the luminous pearl inlaid on the table, he suddenly realized that this was Qin Yuechuan's carriage.

Having just woken up, his mind was still unclear and he stared blankly at the curtain of the carriage.

When Qin Yuechuan came back and lifted the carriage curtain to check if she was okay, what he saw was her silly and "a little confused" look.

Seeing her staring at him blankly without any reaction, Qin Yuechuan's heart skipped a beat. He frowned and looked serious:

You won’t be scared silly after experiencing this, will you?

At this time Xu Xinyue finally reacted, it was Qin Yuechuan!

Her eyes suddenly lit up and she called out happily, "My Lord, you are back!"

Hearing this, Qin Yuechuan breathed a sigh of relief:

It seems that he is fine and there is nothing wrong with his brain.

Xu Xinyue hurriedly got off the carriage and rushed to Qin Yuechuan.

The "little sparrow" began to chirp again.

"Is the prince injured?"

"Then the bandits can't hurt me."

"Qingyang and the others are all right too."

"Ah."

"So, are those tenant farmers okay? Did they all escape?"

"Yeah." Qin Yuechuan signaled with his eyes. Xu Xinyue followed his gaze and saw that the group of tenant farmers were sitting in groups of two or three under a tree not far away, still sleeping.

Although they were in a mess and their faces were covered in black and gray, their bodies were intact and they escaped.

Xu Xinyue let out a long sigh.

"Qingyang said you want to recruit them?"

"Well, they were originally tenant farmers who grew Uma rice. After the 'Afurong' case, they were afraid that the prince would find out, so they killed them hastily and alerted the enemy, so they sold them to the bandits.

They have been abandoned, and it is because of us that they have encountered this difficulty. If they are to serve as witnesses in the future, I must protect their safety."

"Well, since you want me to help you."

Xu Xianyue's eyes curved and she smiled sweetly at him: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Qin Yuechuan was so moved by her smile that he turned away embarrassedly: "What are you going to do?"

At the moment they were on top of a mountain.

The rising sun cast a layer of golden light on the floating clouds, and colorful rays of light filled the sky, like a piece of beautiful colored jade, very solemn and beautiful.

Xu Xinyue looked at the magnificent scene and was intoxicated by it: "In the future, I want to be like my father, to establish a grain store and organize a grain team. My name will be known throughout Beixuan."

Qin Yuechuan didn't think she was talking nonsense. On the contrary, he felt that she could do it, so he asked her seriously.

"Well, have you thought of a name that will resound throughout Beixuan?"

Xu Xinyue turned her head to look at Qin Yuechuan, then shyly turned towards the morning glow and sunrise again.

He whispered, "What do you think of the word 'Treasure Valley'?"
