Chapter 229

Her eyes are full of dangerous warnings, and their sharp edges are no less powerful than arrows.

The woman was immediately stared at by Chang Xi's fierce eyes.

"Okay, I promise you."

Now she only thinks that Chang Xi is a ghost crawling out of hell.

Chang Xi did a few nimble backflips one after another, skillfully dodged the subsequent arrow attacks, and came to the woman's side.

Lift the wrist, the knot that was tied before, and lift the person like a chicken.

The attacker was far away from them and could not hear their conversation clearly.

But seeing Chang Xi suddenly willing to take risks to save people, no matter how stupid people are, they can see that they quickly reached a deal.

Such a change displeased the raiders, and the leader quickly ordered to focus all the attention on Cao Jingxiu's assassination on Chang Xi and the woman.

In just a few breaths, Chang Xi became the most life-threatening person.

But she has already decided to save people, and now it is impossible to admit cowardice, knowing that she will become the focus, dragging people to flee further away without saying a word.

While performing lightness kung fu, she did not forget to speak to her master, older brothers and younger brothers.

"Don't follow me, go separately, don't gather, spread out!"

This land belongs to Shitou Town, and they didn't go out of the village often when they were young, and they knew the way better than people from other places, so Chang Xi chose to run along a winding path.

If she was the only one fleeing for her life, she might be able to cope with it freely, but now with the burden, she can only run away sullenly, not daring to see how many chasing enemies are behind.

Chang Xi could tell at a glance that this woman had no martial arts skills, and the appointee didn't dare to think about taking a rest, so he took her a short distance away and hid directly into the mountains.

This stretch of mountains is very wide, and it is the mountains in Taihang Village that are connected.

After entering the mountain smoothly, Chang Xi let go of the heart she had been holding on for a while, and without hesitation, she directly hid in the old forest covered by miasma.

"Heh~heh~heh! Slow down, can you let me catch my breath?"

Chang Xi frowned coldly: "I'm the one who wasted energy, what right do you have to rest?"

Climbing the mountain without stopping, with the help of various ingenuity, Chang Xi came to a place that she had never set foot in before.

There are pine trees everywhere here, and the canopy of the trees is so overwhelming that there is not even a trace of light.

To be honest, Chang Xi doesn't even know how to go inside now, as if she will come back wherever she goes.

She was really afraid that she would get lost in the old woods, if she ran into a chasing enemy again, it would be too miserable for her wife!

Undecided, she chose to climb the tree.

Holding the woman's footsteps and borrowing strength, he ran high, and finally sat firmly on a thick old pine.

The woman gasped, "I'm exhausted."

Chang glared at her with displeasure, and the woman shut up obediently.

She first looked around to make sure that there was no one following behind her for the time being, and then she put down her guard completely and looked for a place to hide.

Judging from her experience of going into the mountain many times, there are large wild animals not far away, traces of life, maybe there will be places like caves.

Without hesitation, she pulled the woman towards the target.

Fortunately, the accumulated experience played a role. She stepped over a piece of animal bones and found a small cave not far away.

Standing at the entrance and looking inside, it was too dark to see clearly.

Not knowing the depth, Chang Xi had no other choice but to go in boldly.

The cave is neither deep nor shallow, just enough to accommodate two giant beasts.

Looking at the dry and white bones, she could tell that the beast had changed its habitat.

Finally found a good place to stay, and then she looked straight at the woman who was not a few years older than herself.

"Hello, what's your name? Which family's official lady is it?"

The woman blinked timidly: "Answer the question, can you untie me?"

"Well, if you answer truthfully and don't play tricks, I don't have to embarrass you."

"But you dare to fool me like you did to Zhao Jia? Hehe. How is my skill? You followed me all the way just now. You should have learned something, right?"

Chang Xi didn't forget to threaten, the woman trembled and hurriedly answered.

"Don't dare. My surname is Lu Dan and my name is Rou. I am the concubine of Lu Shangshu's family in the capital's punishment department."

The woman reported the house with little resistance and struggle.

"Lu Shangshu? Your father is already a Shangshu, such a big official, why are you willing to be a pawn?"

Chang Xi didn't understand: "Although you are a concubine, at least you are more than the best and the worst, so why do you want to be someone's pawn?"

Thinking of her embarrassing situation, Lu Rou sighed faintly.

"To put it simply, I want to find a future for myself."

"Those of you who are small families may not understand that big families need marriage."

"There is a daughter-in-law in the family who is the general's wife. I heard that she and the general get together less and leave more. They have been married for three years and have nothing to do. She is considered a widow at a young age."

"She went to the military camp to find her husband, not wanting to be captured by the enemy. After being humiliated, she committed suicide in shame. Now the Lu family wants to choose a daughter to be the general's successor."

"I happen to be of the right age and have a bit of beauty. I heard that I am the most likely to do house filling."

"I don't want to be a widow, and I don't want to be in danger. That's why I want to make connections, find a way out for myself, and marry a good family."

"The connection you mentioned is Miss San?"

Chang Xi did not forget that Lu Rou mentioned the arrogance and complacency in her expression at the riverside.

Mentioning Miss San, Lu Rou sneered: "People in the capital are so ruthless."

"She didn't want me to go back alive, and I didn't bother to cover it up for her."

Chang Xi showed a look of all ears.

"She is actually born of the side concubine of King Zhao, and she is called San Miss outside the palace."

"From the side concubine? That's also from a concubine. Why do you work for her?"

Chang Xi was puzzled by the affairs of the capital, and when she asked this question, Lu Rou couldn't hide her contempt on her expression.

"You people from the countryside, I'm afraid you haven't even seen the lady of the magistrate's family?"

"Do you know who King Zhao is?" Chang Xi shook his head.

Lu Rou smiled lightly and shook her head: "I'm sorry you don't know, I'll tell you slowly."

"King Zhao is the elder brother of today's empress dowager, but when he was born, the present empress dowager's status was relatively low, and he was raised at the knee of the empress dowager Ling at that time."

"Later, for unknown reasons, the relationship between King Zhao and Concubine Ling became tense."

"Prince Zhao's main concubine was brought back from the battlefield by him, which made the concubine dissatisfied."

"But he had just made meritorious service, and the late emperor agreed to his marriage request. The concubine Ling chose a young lady from her natal family, and married King Zhao on the same day as his side concubine."

"Later the main concubine died, and her son was buried in the flames. King Zhao did not remarry the main concubine, and the side concubine was the only one in the backyard of the palace. The third lady she gave birth to was naturally of extraordinary status."

Chang Xi roughly understood: "The side concubine has people to support her in the harem and her natal family."

"Plus that Prince Zhao's Mansion is a mountain where there are no tigers or monkeys to rule over the king. No wonder you are rushing to curry favor with a concubine."
