Qin Xuechuan nodded when he heard him say this.

This Jia Changsheng was indeed as treacherous as he thought, and although this Li Jia surrendered on the surface, he didn't know what he would do later.Qin Xuechuan felt that he should be more cautious.

And at this moment, as the few of them were walking, Qin Xuechuan felt that something was wrong with the soles of his feet, so he glanced down from the corner of his eye.At this time, he saw an unusual thing on the mountain road—it was a short knife, which was not there when Li Jia walked over just now, so why did it appear in front of him now out of thin air?

Could this be...

But at this moment, Qin Xuechuan suddenly fell, and he yelled in pain. Qin Yuan ran over after hearing this: "Brother Prince, are you alright?"

Qin Xuechuan exchanged glances with Qin Yuan at this moment, and Li Jia hurried over after hearing the voice: "His Royal Highness, are you alright?"

Qin Xuechuan looked up at him: "No problem, it's just a fall."

"That's good, that's good. Your Highness the Crown Prince is fine, so I can rest assured." Just when Li Jia focused all his attention on Qin Xuechuan, the corner of Qin Xuechuan's mouth suddenly raised slightly.

"Master Li, thank you for this journey."

Li Jia said: "Serving His Highness the Crown Prince is a blessing for the lower officials..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt someone hit him hard from the back. Before Li Jia could react, he rolled his eyes and lay down.

Qin Xuechuan looked up at Xiao Yu who was standing on the cliff of the mountain path at this moment: "If you don't show up again, I will think you are dead."

Hearing this, Xiao Yu jumped up to Qin Xuechuan from above: "Don't dare, your highness is not dead yet, so the person serving your highness naturally dare not die."

Seeing this scene, Qin Yuan suddenly widened her eyes in surprise, and she looked towards Xiao Yu: "Brother Xiao, why are you here?"

Xiao Yu stretched out his hand and pulled him up, and then said: "Your Highness is in the hands of those bandits, so I don't dare to take it lightly, so I have been watching the movements of those bandits. Sure enough, those bandits have malicious intentions. This Li Jia It's not a good thing, but dare to count us."

Qin Xuechuan stood up and said, "Have you found the exit of Longhu Mountain?"

Xiao Yu replied: "I found it. There is a short cave behind Longhu Mountain, which can lead to the outside of the mountain. According to the information I got, the reinforcements sent by the imperial court will come here soon."

When Qin Yuan heard what he said, her eyes suddenly lit up: "How did Brother Xiao know that reinforcements are coming soon?"

When she asked here, Xiao Yu suddenly froze for a moment, and Qin Xuechuan said at this moment: "He has ears like mice, so you can't hide any trouble from him."

Xiao Yu laughed a little after hearing Qin Xuechuan's words: "Exactly, thank you Your Highness for your compliment!"

As soon as the words fell, Qin Xuechuan said: "Since you know where the exit is, then lead the way quickly, I don't want to be caught by those bandits again."

Xiao Yu smiled and said: "Yes, I will take your Highness down here."

Just when Qin Yuan wanted to follow him to the front, Qin Xuechuan suddenly pulled her back: "A Yuan, don't tell anyone what happened that day when we were in that bandit village."

Qin Yuan suddenly frowned: "Brother Prince...why?"

"Because I lied about being Xiao Shizi in the bandit village, if you tell it out, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble. If someone asks you, just say that you don't know anything about being locked up by them."

After hearing what she said, Qin Yuan asked in a low voice: "Then... can't you tell brother Luo?"

At this moment, Qin Xuechuan lowered his head and made a silent gesture to her: "Yes, no one can tell."

Qin Yuan nodded fiercely, then she looked around, and then whispered: "Yuan'er swear, I won't say a word!"

***

When Qin Xuechuan left, he asked his subordinates to carry away Li Jia who had been knocked out. Now he has other uses for keeping this person.

The short hole that Xiao Yu discovered was really short and damp, and Qin Xuechuan never liked such dirty places.But Xiao Yu who was beside him smiled a little: "Your Highness, instead of being caught by those bandits again, Your Highness should feel wronged."

Qin Xuechuan wasn't completely unacceptable, even if he could overcome his psychological disgust, he still couldn't stand such a dirty place physically.Xiao Yu was beside him at this time, he said: "If His Highness really can't accept it, then I can hug you and take you out."

When he said this, those subordinates and Qin Yuan were listening behind him.Qin Xuechuan gave him a shy look, and Xiao Yu said again at this moment: "I'm just joking."

When Qin Yuan entered the cave, she said that she had caused a lot of trouble this time, and she said that she would leave it behind.Her temper was very stubborn, Qin Xuechuan couldn't persuade her, so he had no choice but to obey her.

Qin Xuechuan thought it would be fine, as long as she followed the team and didn't get lost.

After walking for a long time, Qin Xuechuan's clothes were splashed with mud, and his shoes were soaked in the dirty water.He held back his nausea and asked Xiao Yu, "How long...how long will it take to go out?"

Xiao Yu saw that he seemed to be in a bad mood, so he quickly stepped forward to support him: "I'm about to go out soon."

In fact, when they found this cave, they walked out quickly.It's just that he and the others were concerned about Qin Xuechuan, so they walked a bit slower.Qin Xuechuan seemed to have noticed something now, he said: "Since I have dragged you down, you should go out to meet the reinforcements first, and I will go out by myself."

Xiao Yu stopped suddenly when he heard these words, his face suddenly darkened: "Your Highness... what are you talking about? We came here and everything we do is for you. It doesn't matter if we die, but Make sure you are safe and sound."

"Yes! This subordinate is willing to lay waste to His Highness!"

At this moment, Qin Xuechuan looked back and saw that they were all about to kneel on the ground, so he quickly said: "Farewell, farewell, the space in this cave is already small, if you kneel in a row, wouldn't it be even more crowded?"

Xiao Yu looked at Qin Xuechuan at this moment: "Your Highness, please stop saying things that make the ministers worry."

Qin Xuechuan was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled lightly and said, "Forget it, it's up to you."

After walking for a while, Qin Xuechuan suddenly saw a ray of light coming from ahead, and they finally came to the end.Xiao Yu went out first at this moment, and then he turned around and took Qin Xuechuan's hand by the shoulder to drag him out first.

At this moment, he saw the muddy spots on Qin Xuechuan's body and frowned tightly: "I wronged Your Highness first, go back and wash it off."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone else came out, and at this moment he suddenly saw Qin Luochuan leading an army behind Longhu Mountain. He had just come out of the cave and saw those soldiers ready to go.

Seeing this scene, Qin Xuechuan was stunned for a moment, Qin Luochuan got off his horse after seeing him, and he walked up to Qin Xuechuan: "Brother, are you alright?"

Qin Xuechuan was a little surprised when he saw him, he didn't expect Qin Luochuan to be here so fast, so fast.He also didn't know how Xiao Yu got in touch with Qin Luochuan in Longhu Mountain.

Qin Xuechuan said: "No problem, what's the matter, have the reinforcements arrived yet?"

Qin Luochuan replied, "I'm on my way now."

Qin Xuechuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard him say, "That's good."

At this moment, he glanced back, but he didn't see any trace of Qin Yuan among the crowd.Qin Xuechuan panicked immediately, he hurried to the back, he looked at Li Ying who was following in front of Qin Yuan: "Where is the princess?"

After hearing his words, Li Ying turned pale in shock and looked back. At this moment, he quickly knelt down: "Your Highness, this subordinate is guilty! This subordinate should go find the princess now!"

Qin Luochuan suddenly had a bad feeling after hearing his words, he looked at the two of them blankly: "Which princess, what are you talking about?"

Qin Xuechuan panicked when he heard this question from him. Qin Luochuan loves his sister the most.

Just when he wanted to ask for clarification, someone from behind suddenly came to report: "His Royal Highness Fifth, our reinforcements were stopped by bandits on the half-mountain road, should we surround those bandits?"

At this moment, the matter of suppressing bandits is more important. After all, the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers are on his mind.Qin Luochuan said at this moment: "All the soldiers follow me to kill those bandits!"

"Yes! My subordinates obey!"

As soon as the words fell, Qin Luochuan left a team of generals to protect Qin Xuechuan, he said: "Brother just came back, they will escort you to the city, as for..."

As for the "princess"... Before he could say anything, Qin Xuechuan took a step forward: "I will give you an explanation."

Qin Luochuan froze for a moment after hearing his answer, and then he rode his horse down the mountain.

After Qin Luochuan led the troops away, Qin Xuechuan suddenly looked at Xiao Yu: "Come back with me, something may have happened to A Yuan."

Xiao Yu frowned after hearing what he said: "You have come out safe and sound now, why do you want to go back?"

"A Yuan is still in there now, if something happens to her, I will never feel better for the rest of my life."

"Then have you ever thought about what you, as the prince of a country, would do if something happened to you? Is your prince's life more important, or her princess's life more important?"

Qin Xuechuan was overly frightened, he wanted to hold back when he heard this, but unfortunately at this moment he still couldn't hold back a slap and slapped him "Pa——"

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

Xiao Yu was stunned by that slap, he never thought that Qin Xuechuan would hit him in full view...

The red fingerprints on his cheeks were very eye-catching, he bit his lip and then looked at Qin Xuechuan with anger and aggrieved face.

Qin Xuechuan regretted seeing him like this: "Do you know what you said just now? It's a rebellious statement."

Xiao Yu was stunned for a long time before he regained his composure. His voice trembling through the gap between his teeth: "Yes...it's my mistake, I'm going to save the princess right now... It's just that His Royal Highness's rich body must never enter such a situation again. The cave is already in the cave, so this time it’s only good for the minister to go.”

From his tone of voice, Qin Xuechuan felt his grievances... It seemed that there were some other things mixed in with his grievances.No matter how nicely he said before, for this sake, it is impossible for him not to blame himself.

Qin Xuechuan directly refused and said: "I will solve the disaster I caused by myself, so I don't need you to worry about it. You go down the mountain to help Qin Luochuan."

When Qin Xuechuan continued to want to leave, Xiao Yu suddenly grabbed his wrist, his strength was so strong at the moment, as if he wanted to crush Qin Xuechuan's wrist bone.Qin Xuechuan looked at Xiao Yu with red eyes.

In fact, his hands are trembling now, and he doesn't know what he is afraid of now, in short, he is afraid of Xiao Yu like this, you regret what you did just now.But there is no medicine for regret in the world, if you do it, you do it, and it cannot be undone.

"What do you want to do?" Qin Xuechuan said coldly.

"I don't feel relieved to go alone, Your Highness, please allow me to accompany you?" Xiao Yu's eyes seemed to be filled with tears of grievance.

But even so, Qin Xuechuan still failed to agree to his request: "You go back, if you don't obey my order, it's disobedience to the military order. Do you know what the consequences will be?"

Xiao Yu has never seen him like this before, he really wants to ask now...is it time to lose his temper?But now that everyone was present, he couldn't yell, and felt aggrieved and uncomfortable.

In the end, he still said helplessly: "Yes... I obey!"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Yu left with the guards he brought, and he left the team of guards to Qin Xuechuan.

Qin Xuechuan didn't know what happened to him just now. Maybe after he learned from Jia Changsheng that the Xiao family wanted to rebel a long time ago, he had been suffocating in his heart. He didn't know how to vent his anger, so in the At that moment just now, she vented out with Qin Yuan's share.

At this moment, his hands were still trembling uncontrollably, and now he seemed to regret it, maybe it was useless at all.

Anyway, sooner or later he will be a stranger, and it would be better to draw a clear line with him now.

Even if he doesn't know about their Xiao family's affairs, it is imperative for their Xiao family to rebel. Sooner or later they will stand on the opposing side, so let's just leave it at that.

***

When Qin Xuechuan returned by the same route, he deliberately asked someone to light a few torches. He searched the cave carefully, but in the end he didn't find any trace of Qin Yuan.

Qin Xuechuan really panicked now... How could it be possible for Qin Yuan to follow them and disappear without a sound?If she was really lost, she should have called for help.

Could it be...

A terrible thought suddenly popped up in Qin Xuechuan's mind, he hurriedly led people to the cave, and when they reached the exit of the cave, Qin Xuechuan suddenly found a long drag mark there.

The mud on it was brought out from the cave, which meant that Qin Yuan did not disappear by herself, but someone dragged Qin Yuan out of the cave when they were unprepared.

Qin Xuechuan thought, it was dark and damp in the cave at that time, so he didn't notice anything unusual.And the only ones who can do this here are the bandits on Longhu Mountain.

"Come back with me."

Yun Fei, the bodyguard who was following him, hurriedly tried to persuade him when he heard this: "Your Highness, we just escaped from there, do we really want to go back?"

"Are you also confused? At this time, the princesses are all missing. Is it important for the princess or the palace?"

Yunfei and Li Ying have been by Qin Xuechuan's side for so many years, and they have never seen him lose his sense of propriety... Moreover, the answer to the question he asked is obvious, and there is no need to answer it at all.

Qin Xuechuan didn't know what happened to him today, he got angry easily, he was angry at himself for not knowing it, and even more angry at himself for beating Xiao Yu just now.

Rather than being angry, it would be better to say regret...

"It's useless to talk too much, I'll go back the way I came."

Everyone had no choice but to obey the prince's order: "Yes! This subordinate obeys!"

***

On the way back, Qin Xuechuan suddenly heard the sound of weapons clashing.It seems that the reinforcements from the imperial court started a fight with those bandits. At this moment, there is not even a single bandit guarding on the mountain road. Those soldiers fought.

Although there are some real skills in this bandit village, most of them are stragglers who have not undergone strict training.They are absolutely no match for the well-trained court soldiers. I believe that these people will be wiped out in a short time.

On the way back, Qin Xuechuan sent someone to capture a straggler who was cowering in the bandit village, and he asked the guards to bring the man to question: "I want to ask you, have you ever captured a woman?"

After seeing so many soldiers, the man suddenly stuttered in fright: "What... what woman? I... I don't know."

Qin Xuechuan was naturally displeased when he heard this answer. He motioned to the guard with the knife next to him. The guard nodded, and then drew the knife to the man's neck.

Qin Xuechuan said again: "I will give you one last chance. If I still can't hear the answer I want, you can go to the brothers who accompany you on Huangquan Road."

"Please forgive me, my lord! The little one really doesn't know! Besides, the little one is just a janitor in this bandit village, how can he know about the big boss?"

Qin Xuechuan seemed to have lost his patience, and said in a cold tone, "Cut it off!"

Just when the knife was about to fall on the neck of the skirmisher, the man suddenly shouted: "My lord, please slow down! Little...you remember it!"

Seeing this, Qin Xuechuan quickly waved his hand, and then the guard put away the knife and stepped back.

"Say."

The straggler's voice changed in fright, and he said out of breath: "Not long ago... I seem to have seen a woman who was brought back from the back mountain by the head of the family, and said that he wanted to go to the front of the mountain with that woman." The woman is going to threaten those lackeys of the imperial court to retreat."

Qin Xuechuan's eyes widened suddenly after hearing this.

At this moment, he was almost sure that the woman mentioned by this population was Qin Yuan, and only the princess of Dachu could make those so-called lackeys of the imperial court retreat.

After Qin Xuechuan heard it, he said again: "Follow me to the front mountain."

At this moment someone said: "Your Highness, our soldiers are fighting with those bandits in front of us. If you go, if you are not careful, your jade body may be damaged. At that time, your subordinates will count as 1 soldiers." One head is not enough to cut off!"

After Qin Xuechuan heard what he said, he suddenly looked back at him: "Now that you don't obey my orders, I will order someone to chop off your head right now!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present did not dare to persuade Qin Xuechuan, they all said in unison: "Yes! This subordinate obeys orders!"

***

The bandits on Longhu Mountain were forced to the foot of the mountain by the soldiers led by Qin Luochuan, and the reinforcements who came from the foot of the mountain surrounded the bandits.Those bandits have been domineering here for many years because they are easy to defend and difficult to attack in Longhu Mountain. Now they are forced to the foot of the mountain by the soldiers of the imperial court, so naturally they have no advantage at all.

And when those bandits were driven to the end of the road, the voice of the leader of Longhu Mountain suddenly came from a small peak in the distance: "Those lackeys of the imperial court, who are you looking at?"

Qin Luochuan is now leading the soldiers to deal with those bandits. Those bandits have not received formal military training, so it is very easy to deal with them.But when he heard this voice, he suddenly looked up, and at this moment he saw that the woman next to the bandit leader seemed familiar.

But at this moment, Jia Changsheng suddenly untied the white cloth tied around Qin Yuan's mouth, and Qin Yuan suddenly said loudly: "Brother! Don't worry about it, I'll kill them quickly!"

After Qin Luochuan heard this sound, his eyes widened in disbelief as if struck by lightning.

Sure enough, his ominous premonition came true... The "princess" Qin Xuechuan was muttering about was really Qin Yuan.

After Qin Luochuan saw Qin Yuan, he suddenly gave an order: "All officers and men listen to the order and step back!"

It seems that these bandits are about to be wiped out in one go. Why does the coach order the troops to retreat now?All the soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay at this moment, not knowing why.

Qin Luochuan yelled again at this moment: "All officers and men listen to the order and step back!"

When Qin Yuan saw the densely packed people suddenly backing away, she suddenly shouted like crazy: "Brother! I told you, you don't need to worry about me! You want to kill these rebellious officials and thieves. Today I die here, is it right?" Die for me, Da Chu, this is my duty as Princess Da Chu, hurry up and kill them!"

Qin Yuan cried and shouted at the same time.

"How can you abandon those soldiers who died here because of me alone, brother! You can't do this! Come here and kill them!"

After hearing her hoarse shout, Qin Luochuan held the sword tightly with trembling hands.

Jia Changsheng frowned tightly at this moment, and he said: "This girl is really annoying, quickly shut her mouth."

"Brother - uh..."

Just when he thought that capturing the princess of Da Chu would make those people retreat, suddenly there were several people moaning in pain behind him.

Jia Changsheng became alert again at this moment, he clenched the knife in his hand and looked back.The bandit soldiers around him were killed one by one by the guards who came from behind.

At this moment, Jia Changsheng's eyes widened with anger, his expression was very scary, and he shouted in disbelief: "Impossible...it's impossible!"

Just when he was suspicious, those people were about to kill Jia Changsheng. At this moment, Jia Changsheng grabbed Qin Yuan and put a knife on her neck: "Don't come here! If you dare to take a step, I will kill you now!" her!"
