I don’t know how long it took, but Ye Jiayao woke up. The surroundings were dark. The sound of gunfire and shouts of death were loud outside. What happened? Did the officers and soldiers attack so quickly
Damn, I was too careless this time. I fell into the trap and almost lost my life. I also hurt Chunyu. Fortunately, Chunyu didn't fall for it, otherwise she would have a bad conscience all her life. However, Chunyu is still very dangerous. The master, a sinister man, is taking advantage of Chunyu from the beginning to the end.
Ye Jiayao struggled desperately. Fortunately, she had a hand saved at the time. The second boss was not tied very tightly, but she still managed to break free by picking off a layer of skin. Ye Jiayao ignored the pain and looked out through the crack in the door. There was no one outside, but the door was locked.
She can't break the lock, what should I do? Ye Jiayao touched the window in the dark, pushed hard, and actually pushed it open. Ye Jiayao was overjoyed, climbed up the window and jumped down.
Bah... The skirt was hung up somewhere and torn.
Ye Jiayao simply tore off the torn hem. It was more important to escape than to think about image issues.
There were fires everywhere and people running everywhere. Ye Jiayao was confused for a while, not knowing where to go.
"Brother, what's the situation now? Where are the first, second and third masters?" Ye Jiayao grabbed a person and asked.
"I didn't know, it's all a mess now." The man threw away Ye Jiayao and ran away.
Ye Jiayao went to ask others again. After asking several people, she finally got the news about Chunyu.
"We don't know the specific situation. We only heard that the top boss wanted to abandon his brothers and run for his own life. The third boss didn't agree and started fighting." A bandit scratched his head and said in distress.
"Damn it, I don't know who is hitting whom now, so everyone should run for their lives."
said another bandit.
"Escape, where to?" Ye Jiayao asked blankly, do they know where the secret passage is
"Go up the mountain. Black Wind Hill is so big, you can always hide for a while." said the bandit.
Ye Jiayao hesitated for a moment and said, "Hurry up and find the secret passage in Juyi Hall. There is a secret passage leading to the outside of the mountain."
"How do you know?" Some bandits expressed doubts.
Ye Jiayao said: "I eavesdropped on the conversation between the first master and the second master. They planned to escape through the secret passage and leave their brothers alone."
After hearing the news, everyone was filled with indignation and condemned the unjust acts of the first and second masters.
"So the rumors are true, damn, the boss is so unloyal."
"That's right, it's a blessing that everyone worked so hard for him..."
"Don't worry about swearing, just run for your life!" Ye Jiayao said.
"Third Madam, I saw the Third Master in the kitchen about a stick of incense ago." A bandit said.
Ye Jiayao was overjoyed and said everyone take care and ran to the kitchen.
Chunyu appeared there, maybe he came back to the small courtyard to find her.
"Everyone search carefully, don't let any bandits go." The voices of officers and soldiers came from the front.
Ye Jiayao quickly dodged into the darkness aside, what should she do? Now she rushed out to ask for help and the officers and soldiers probably wouldn't kill her. But what should Chunyu do? He would be in danger if he was discovered by officers and soldiers.
Ye Jiayao hesitated again and again, but decided to find Chunyu first.
Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure, it was Chunyu... Ye Jiayao's heart almost jumped out of her chest. She was about to rush out to warn Chunyu that there were officers and soldiers here, but she heard Chunyu say: "Anyone who surrenders is not allowed to be killed, and is under guard first."
The leading officer and soldier promised loudly: "Yes."
Damn, what's going on? The officers and soldiers actually obeyed Chunyu's orders. Could it be that Chunyu was really an undercover agent sent by the imperial court? Ye Jiayao's mind stopped for a moment.
Could it be that everything he told her before was false
Well, she can understand the difficulty and inconvenience for him to go deep into the tiger's den, and it is normal to lie to her. Then, she doesn't have to run away. With Chunyu protecting her, she is safe.
Ye Jiayao was filled with joy and joy. The fact that Chunyu was not a bandit but an undercover agent was so exciting. Chunyu's image suddenly became taller in her heart. Damn it, this is the ancient reality version of Infernal Affairs!
Just as Ye Jiayao moved her steps to show up, she saw Song Qi running over again.
"Your Majesty, I didn't find my sister-in-law."
The light was too dark, and Xia Chunyu's face was turned sideways, so he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly. He could only hear him saying coldly: "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? You don't need to act now. I'm warning you, don't let me do it again." Hear those two words.”
Ye Jiayao felt as if someone had poured a basin of ice water on her head and face, and her heart felt cold.
The Crown Prince, he is the Crown Prince, his status is not ordinary noble!
There is no need to act, so to put it this way, his kindness to her is all acting, and he is not prepared to admit her.
Ye Jiayao retracted her outstretched legs and looked at the tall and tall figure. The previous excitement, worry and self-blame were all gone. There seemed to be a crack in her heart, and the cold wind rushed in, filling the void. His heart was raging.
She told herself not to be sad. She had never thought about having anything to do with him. What would happen next, whether he was a bandit or the heir apparent, it had nothing to do with her. Although she almost harmed him because of her carelessness, it didn't happen in the end. She didn't owe him anything, and he didn't owe her anything.
However, the feelings of being dumped and dumping others are still very different!
"We found Sheng Wu, over there at the martial arts arena." Officers and soldiers came to report.
Xia Chunyu immediately led people to rush over.
After everyone was gone, Ye Jiayao slowly walked out of the darkness and slowly returned to the small courtyard.
The courtyard door was wide open, and there were several corpses in the courtyard. They were all brothers from the village. Ye Jiayao had always been afraid of dead people, but now she was not in the mood to be afraid.
She shouted softly: "Dabao, Erbao... where are you? Mom is here to pick you up... "
Chunyu ignored her, and his promise turned out to be empty words in the end, but she could not break her promise and abandon her first and second treasures.
But I searched all over and couldn't find the Dabao and the Dabao.
Ye Jiayao was very sad. Did even the Dabao and the second treasure abandon her? It's okay, it's hard for her to protect herself now, how can she take care of her first and second babies.
After feeling frustrated for a while, Ye Jiayao wiped away her tears, went to the bedroom and took out her personal money from under the bed and put it in her pocket. She needs to be self-reliant and find a way out of here.
She groped out cautiously, hiding when encountering officers and soldiers, or simply lying next to the dead and pretending to be dead, but she managed to escape without any danger.
"You old pious woman, go to hell." A sudden shout came from the front.
Ye Jiayao's heart tightened. It was the second master's voice. Didn't it mean that he was discovered in the martial arts arena? Why are you here
"Ah..." A scream sounded immediately.
"Come quickly, the second in charge is here..."
Ye Jiayao's scalp exploded and she ran forward.
"stop."
Seeing that Aunt Zhao had been chopped down to the ground, and the second master waved his sword and was about to slash at Aunt Jiang, Ye Jiayao shouted quickly.
When the second master saw it was Ye Jiayao, the murderous look in his eyes softened: "You came just in time."
"You let them go, I'll go with you or you can take me as a hostage." Ye Jiayao didn't know where she got the courage to step forward and said. While winking at Aunt Jiang, he told her to leave quickly.
Aunt Jiang helped up the injured Aunt Zhao, wanting to leave but worried about Ye Jiayao's safety.
Ye Jiayao walked over, stood between Aunt Jiang and the second boss, glared fiercely and said, "What are you still doing here? Do you want to get stabbed too? Get out of here."
Aunt Jiang knew that Ye Jiayao was trying to save her and it would be useless to stay by herself, so she hurriedly found the third master and asked the third master to rescue her.
The second head of the family didn't want to let Aunt Jiang go. It would be terrible if she started talking around and exposed his whereabouts.
Ye Jiayao pulled the second master to divert his attention: "Second brother, where is the secret passage you mentioned? Take me with you quickly."
The second master said depressedly: "Now that there are officers and soldiers outside the Juyi Hall, how can we enter the secret passage? Damn it, the eldest brother really guessed right, the third child is a spy."
"I just came over there and almost ran into him. Let's leave quickly, otherwise it will be bad when he searches for her." Ye Jiayao pointed with her hand, indicating the direction to Aunt Jiang.
The second boss looked at Ye Jiayao suspiciously: "How come you are here when you see the third child?"
Ye Jiayao made a sad expression: "I saw him, but he didn't see me. Now I know he is the Crown Prince. I heard him telling the people below that he would find me and deal with it on the spot. Maybe he doesn't want me to appear again. In front of him, he doesn’t want people to know that he once got married in the village.”
This was half true and half false, but she really felt sad in her heart, so there was no need to pretend to be sad.
The second master gritted his teeth angrily: "They say bandits are ruthless, but I think their officials are the most ruthless. Miss Ye, you don't have to be sad. When we escape, I will love you and treat you as a treasure."
Ye Jiayao secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Aunt Jiang walking away.
"The secret passage is already guarded by officers and soldiers, so how can we escape?" Ye Jiayao had another purpose in staying. She wanted to find out about her robbery. He mentioned before that she was betrayed by her own relatives. In fact, she already guessed who this person was, she just wanted to be confirmed.
The second master pulled her forward: "The secret passage is dead, there is another way, follow me, I promise to take you out."
Ye Jiayao was brought to the cliff beside Yanxia Lake.
"There is a boat down there, let's take the boat and go." said the second master.
"Second brother, tell me, who from the Ye family contacted you?" Ye Jiayao asked. She didn't want to go with him. He was a key criminal wanted by the officers and soldiers. If you escaped with him, you would die faster.
"We'll talk about it after we get on the boat..." The second master's voice stopped abruptly. His eyes were as round as copper bells, and there was incredible fear in them.
Then he slowly lowered his head and looked at the arrow coming out of his chest.
Ye Jiayao turned her head and looked behind her, only to see bright lights and a group of officers and soldiers surrounding them.
"Fire arrows, don't miss anyone." The officers and soldiers shouted.
Whoosh... The arrows roared through the sky.
The dying second master suddenly pulled Ye Jiayao and protected her in front of him, while he was shot into a hedgehog.
"Hurry... run away..." The second master used his last strength to push Ye Jiayao away and uttered two words.
There was a cliff behind Ye Jiayao. After being pushed by him, she staggered back, stepped on the air, and fell straight down.
Hearing the whistling sound of the wind caused by the rapid fall, Ye Jiayao's mind went blank, but her body adjusted instinctively. Straighten your hands and cross them to protect the sides of your head, and let your body fall vertically, just like entering the water when diving.
Poof... Ye Jiayao sank into the cold darkness.
