After I disguised myself as a man, I became everyone's white moonlight

"Are you... here to save me?" The Ninth Princess' eyes sparkled. Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes were like a lovely ragdoll cat, staring at her intently and blinking.

Chu Xi was silent for a moment, "Your Highness, I was captured and taken to the mountain."

She decided to expose the girlish thoughts in the heart of this seemingly cute little princess. Although she was just going with the flow, there was nothing wrong with this answer.

"I don't believe it. I know you are here to save me."

"Okay, Lord Rong and the others are still in the dungeon. I want to rescue them as well." Chu Xi was too lazy to continue arguing on this unimportant issue and reminded the Ninth Princess that there were other people who had been captured.

Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess held Chu Xi's arms tightly with both hands. Chu Xi...didn't feel anything at first, at most she just felt uncomfortable.

"I can help you."

But after a moment, he suddenly remembered that he was now a man, which was considered to be overstepping the boundaries.

Although the separation between men and women in the Great Zhou Kingdom was not as strict as in the previous dynasties, it was still inappropriate for a woman to hug a man's arm.

Chu Xi struggled several times and finally pulled Princess Ninth's hands off.

"Your Highness, it's not appropriate for me to take you there. There are dangers lurking everywhere outside, and I can't guarantee your safety by myself. I'll find a safe place for you to hide first, and then I'll come back to find you."

She wasn't used to people being so close to her.

"I also have some basic skills in martial arts, so protecting myself is not a problem." The Ninth Princess felt that Chu Xi must think that she was a drag, so she emphasized this.

"Your Highness is truly amazing." Chu Xi complimented him, but he didn't really take it seriously.

Before Chu Xi could persuade the Ninth Princess in front of him, one of the four people who were knocked unconscious outside woke up and tried to run away.

His steps were unsteady and disorderly, as if he was going out to ask for help.

She chased out, and the Ninth Princess caught up with her. Before she could finish dealing with this, she heard the shouting of someone running away from Guan Chuxi's house in the next yard.

Chu Xi frowned, grabbed the Ninth Princess's sleeve without thinking, put his other hand around her waist, stepped on the stairs, jumped up hard, and landed in the corner of the second floor where he had been hiding before.

The location on the second floor was neither good nor bad. Chu Xi just wanted to take the Ninth Princess to hide there temporarily. After the people ran out of the yard, she would immediately land with them.

The geographical location of this mountain village is too advantageous, which is very disadvantageous to them. She also has the urgent task of rescuing Rong Jinfeng. Even if she wants to hide and avoid this storm, she can't do it.

Chu Xi led his men to a remote house or alley, his mind racing as he pondered over what he should do at this moment to find a chance to save people.

The Ninth Princess was very well-behaved on her way to escape. She did not cause any trouble for Chu Xi and just followed her quietly.

It is really not an easy task to escape from someone else's territory, especially when the bandits have been alerted.

Chu Xi knew that these people had been alarmed, and there would be even more people guarding the dungeon. What she needed to do now was to create an illusion.

It seemed as if she came only for the Ninth Princess, and everyone else except her was insignificant to her.

She also didn't seem to want to save him.

Although there are many houses in the mountain village, the area they occupy is still limited. With more than a hundred people scattered around, Chu Xi will inevitably be seen by those who are searching.

The direction Chu Xi was running away with the Ninth Princess was opposite to the dungeon. She ran in the opposite direction without looking back on purpose, just to give people the impression that she didn't care about the people in the dungeon at all.

The bandit who saw the two of them just shouted, but before the other party could say anything, Chu Xi took the initiative and kicked several stones at him.

She deliberately aimed at the bandit's legs. The stone hit his legs, causing the bandit to kneel down in front of them.

The man knelt, but the mute point was not sealed. The bandit almost instinctively shouted for help, "Hurry up! The person is here!!"

The Ninth Princess' eyes were filled with worry and nervousness, and she subconsciously grabbed Chu Xi's right hand with both hands.

Chu Xi pulled the Ninth Princess and performed Qing Kung without looking back. Before those people gathered around, he disappeared from their sight.

"Where are the people?" The third in command ran over angrily with his men, holding a big knife in his hand.

"They ran down the mountain!"

"Brothers, follow me..."

The bandit who was guarding the Ninth Princess stumbled over, looking terribly frightened, and said in shock and fear, "The Second In Command is dead..."

The third master's eyes widened, and he grabbed the man's neck without thinking, "What did you say?"

"The second in command is dead... He was killed by that pretty boy." The bandit trembled as he told the whole story of how the second in command had been drunk and insisted on breaking in, how the other party had knocked them unconscious, saved the woman, and killed the second in command.

"Second brother!" The third leader's eyes turned red, like a demon, and he said with a ferocious expression, "We at Qingshan Peak swear to avenge this. If we catch up with them, we won't let them escape even if we die!"

"That man lied to us from the beginning. He is from the imperial court! We must not let them leave Qingfeng Mountain!"

The main reason why Chu Xi and his team could not successfully break out was whether it was to avenge the second in command, or because they had snatched back the disaster relief money and officials from the government. Only they themselves knew it!

The boss was also alarmed. When he heard the other party running away with the woman without looking back, his brows furrowed.

He had initially suspected that the man might still want to save the people in the dungeon, but now everyone saw him running down the mountain without looking back...

The boss had no time to think about whether there was a trap here. After all, the news that they had kidnapped the imperial official must not leak out!

Once the news leaks out and reaches the emperor's ears, Qingshan Peak will be besieged by the imperial court.

Even if they had the best of time and place, if the imperial court was determined to suppress the bandits and sent out thousands of troops, even if the terrain of Qingshan Peak was good, it would not be able to withstand the siege of so many people.

The eldest boss made a decision immediately. "The third brother will leave half of the people to guard the dungeon and those things. If anyone sneaks up again, use them as hostages! The medicinal materials must not be allowed to be taken away, they must be burned on the spot!"

"The rest of you, follow me down the mountain and capture the thieves. Don't let them escape!"

Under the order of the eldest boss, the third in command immediately came to his senses and stayed behind with sixty men to guard the village and guard against sneak attacks from outsiders.

Chu Xi disappeared in front of them at the beginning, giving them the impression that he was going to take the Ninth Princess away at all costs.

In fact, she took advantage of her lightness skills while carrying people in the forest, avoided the bandits gathered in front, and brought people back to... the house where the Ninth Princess lived before. The body of the second in command had been moved out.

Only a pool of blood was left, and the mess caused by the fight between Chu Xi and the second in command.

"Qi Bai, why did we come back?"

"The most dangerous place is the safest place. They will search everywhere, but this place will be relaxed and will not be searched carefully."
