In the woods outside the city.

Yan Ruyu was dressed in black, with her hair tied up, a mask on her face, and no knife in her hand.

I plan to take it out when a real fight breaks out. That thing is pretty heavy.

Next to her was Huo Changhe, who had disguised himself as a bandit. Actually, he didn't really disguise himself that much, he just changed his clothes, painted his skin a little darker, and wore an eye patch, turning himself into a one-eyed man.

Yan Ruyu had to hold back her laughter every time she saw it.

I didn't explain this to Beibei at the time, I just told him to make an imposing and fierce-looking look, and in the end I gave him this.

He looked away calmly, pretending not to see, and looked down at his pocket watch.

Although she knows the time now, she is still not used to it. There happens to be an old pocket watch in the space, which she takes out and uses from time to time.

"It's half an hour later than expected," Yan Ruyu whispered, "The prince was right."

Huo Changhe pushed up his eye mask and looked at the mountain path: "With the Ninth Princess's personality, she won't follow the Eighth Princess's arrangement. It doesn't matter. We are well prepared. Let alone if she is late by half an hour, even if she is late by half a day, as long as she comes, we will not wait in vain."

About ten minutes later, there was a sound of flapping wings in the space, and the starling came.

The little eyes rolled around, fell on Yan Ruyu's arm, and whispered: "The wheels are rolling, and the princess is coming."

"Well said," Yan Ruyu gave it a piece of dried meat.

The starling was very happy, but he knew he shouldn't bark at this moment, so he took the dried meat in his mouth and went to eat it from a branch nearby.

Huo Changhe placed his finger between his lips and blew a clear whistle, and the secret guards lying in ambush here were all ready.

Inside the carriage.

The eighth princess lifted the carriage curtain and looked out. The snow was still very thick among the mountains and forests. Not much had melted, and it was a vast expanse of white, even covering the fallen leaves on the ground. It was silent and seemed to have no end.

Her heart was pounding. Although she had made up her mind to cooperate, she was still very nervous when the time came.

What's more, the Ninth Princess's importance is extraordinary.

She also knew very well in her heart that even if the plan succeeded and the Ninth Princess really died here, it would not be the end for her, but the beginning of facing Tang Yibai's questioning.

Tang Yibai has a handsome appearance, but he has a murderous aura. He is a truly iron-blooded general who has shed blood and killed many people. He will never be fooled easily.

"What are you looking at?" The Ninth Princess suddenly asked.

The Eighth Princess' fingers trembled slightly as she lowered the curtain and looked back at the Ninth Princess. Seeing that her eyes were not open, she became even more panicked.

"Nothing, I just feel that this mountain is strangely quiet, I'm a little uncomfortable with it."

The Ninth Princess chuckled and then opened her eyes: "What's there to be accustomed to? Haven't you and your lowly mother always lived in the countryside? What? You've gotten used to living in the imperial city and have forgotten the valley where you grew up?"

The Eighth Princess turned pale, pursed her lips and said nothing.

The Ninth Princess glanced at the car window but did not lift the curtain to look: "I don't think so. It's quiet here."

The Eighth Princess' heart skipped a beat. She didn't understand what she meant.

Just at this moment, the car body shook, and the Eighth Princess fell involuntarily to the side of the Ninth Princess, holding her arms with both hands.

"what."

The Ninth Princess also shook a little: "What are you doing? Stay steady!"

The driver outside quickly apologized and said that he didn't see the small hole covered by the leaves.

The Ninth Princess sat back down and pushed the Eighth Princess's hand away: "Get out of here, don't touch me!"

The eighth princess quickly withdrew her hand and put it back into her sleeve. The cold light between her fingers disappeared.

After walking forward for only a quarter of an hour, the horse suddenly neighed, the carriage turned a few times on the spot, and something fell to the ground with a "thump".

The Eighth Princess was nervous but pleasantly surprised. She clenched her wet palms silently, lifted the curtain and looked out. The driver had rolled to the side, dead.

"Princess……"

Before she could finish her words, an arrow shot in from the car window and hit the car wall with a "swoosh".

Her face turned pale and she looked at the Ninth Princess: "Princess, I'm afraid we have encountered bandits! What should we do?"

The Ninth Princess was calmer than she thought. She pulled her over and put a dagger against her neck.

"do not move."

The Eighth Princess did not dare to move, and whispered, "Princess, what are you doing? We need to work together and escape now."

The Ninth Princess sneered: "Don't talk, get out of the car."

She took the eighth princess hostage and got off the car, and several flying arrows stopped.

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe watched from a distance, and neither of them went out.

Several secret guards came forward holding knives and bows and arrows. They were also dressed like bandits.

His eyes swept over the two of them: "Wow, I didn't expect them to be two pretty girls. I'm lucky today."

The Eighth Princess and the Ninth Princess were both wearing cloaks, with snow-white fur tufts around their necks, hiding the dagger pressed against the Eighth Princess's neck. The secret guards didn't see it for a moment and thought that the Ninth Princess had let the Eighth Princess stand in front of her to serve as a human shield.

The Eighth Princess said nothing. The Ninth Princess listened to the secret guard's words and gave a short laugh.

She raised her hand, revealing a dagger: "If you take another step forward, I will kill her."

This surprised the secret guard.

Even Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe didn't expect this.

Wait and see.

The Eighth Princess trembled and said, "Princess, even if you kill me, they will not let you go."

The Ninth Princess smiled disdainfully, and every word she said was like a slap in the face of the Eighth Princess: "Really? Their employer is dead, who should they ask for money?"

Yan Ruyu narrowed her eyes slightly.

The secret guards also gripped their sword handles tightly.

The Eighth Princess was stunned: "Princess, what do you mean? What employer?"

"Alright, stop acting. With your acting skills, are you qualified to play tricks in front of me?" The Ninth Princess leaned close to her ear and sneered, "You are acting too fake."

"A coward who insists on learning to be a swordsman, are you worthy?"

"Your hands are shaking like a sieve, your face is as stiff as a stone, and you lied to me, saying that Governor Cao's wife and daughter came to pray for blessings."

"Heh, I arranged some guards at the Cao family's gate, how come I didn't know that his wife and daughter were going out?"

"It seems that you have really become addicted to being a princess during this period of time. You think you are really the master. You dare to have such thoughts with me. I am giving you face, right?"

The Eighth Princess' eyes were red and tears were dripping down: "Since you see through me, why did you come with me?"

"Since you have set up the plan, of course I have to follow you to see it. Otherwise, how can I see you like this with my own eyes? What did you say? Oh, although it is painful, but there is nothing I can do."

The Ninth Princess tapped her face lightly with her knife: "You are right, this expression is really wonderful, I like to see it very much."

The Eighth Princess gritted her teeth and said, "So, you knew there was a trap, but you still followed me?"

The Ninth Princess nodded: "That's right, I will play along with you no matter what, so that you will think you have succeeded, but suddenly fail."

"How's it going? Doesn't this feel good?"

The eighth princess suddenly smiled softly and raised her hand to wipe away the tears from her face.

"What if I say that I deliberately made a mistake?"
