"I heard that the emperor is missing."

Yang Meili stopped drinking tea and looked up at Wu Yao, who was also looking at her.

The people at the next table chatted in low voices: "Now the imperial court has internal and external troubles, it seems that the sky is about to change."

"How could it be? Now that the King of Zhennan is busy fighting with the Xilan Kingdom, it is enough for the court to reap the benefits of the fisherman."

"What do you know? I heard that the emperor disappeared and was captured by those barbarians. Those barbarians, on the surface, bowed their heads to us and pretended to be an alliance with us to attack the Southern Dynasty. .Who knows what kind of heart they have in mind!"

"..."

Wu Yao put down his teacup and said, "My lord, let's go."

Leading the horse and leaving, Yang Meili said worriedly: "Wu Yao, do you think what they said is true? Is the emperor really missing? Then... if the emperor disappeared, where did the princess go?"

"Young Master, don't worry, the gossip is not enough to be believed, and we will arrive in Xinyang soon, so it won't be too late to inquire about it then."

Yang Meili nodded.The two got on their horses and rode away.

"My lord, you will arrive at Xinyang after turning over the mountain in front of you." Walking on the mountain road, Wu Yao pointed to a mountain not far away.

Looking at the setting sun that was about to set on the western mountain, Yang Meili said a little tiredly: "Wu Yao, I'm tired, let's take a rest and then go on our way, shall we?"

Hearing this, Wu Yao's expression changed slightly, he immediately reined in the reins, turned over and dismounted, and came to help Yang Meili dismount: "My lord, is your injury serious?"

Yang Meili smiled weakly: "Don't be nervous, I'm fine."

Wu Yao looked around for a while, seeing the smoke from cooking at the foot of the mountain, he couldn't help showing joy, he turned to Yang Meili and said, "My lord, can you persevere, I see a family at the foot of the mountain, maybe you don't need to sleep in the open tonight. "

Yang Meili walked up to him and took a look at the foot of the mountain. Sure enough, seeing the smoke rising from the kitchen, she cheered up and said, "Maybe we meet a nice family who is willing to give us a bite of hot food."

Wu Yao looked at her haggard and thin profile, feeling a little stuffy in her chest.The dignified king of Zhennan has been reduced to the point where he can't even eat a bite of hot food.Whether it's stealing or robbing, he will let his prince eat and sleep well tonight.

When the two rode their horses to the foot of the mountain, night had already fallen, and the bleak autumn wind sent chills down their backs.Sure enough, there was a family at the foot of the mountain, with a single family and a courtyard, the environment was quiet, it was not like the place where villagers live in the mountains.

"It's like a secluded place for an expert." Wu Yao said, "My lord, wait here for a while, I'll go knock on the door."

Yang Meili nodded, watched Wu Yao get off his horse, walked to the courtyard door and knocked on the door.After a while, the door opened, and a girl of twelve or thirteen years old stood there, looked at Wu Yao, then at the beauty on the horse, and asked timidly, "Who are you?"

Wu Yao said softly: "Girl, don't be afraid, I'm Jiang Yao, my younger brother Jun Xiao is riding the horse. My younger brother is injured, it's getting late, if it's convenient, can I stay overnight in your residence?"

The little girl rolled her eyes, turned her head and shouted into the room: "Father, the two young masters surnamed Jiang said they want to stay at our house for a night."

Yang Meili simply got off the horse, and came closer, just in time, the little girl's father came out, glanced at them, and said: "Please come to the room, both of you."

Unexpectedly, the other party was so easy to talk to, Yang Meili couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Sure enough, the people in ancient times were relatively simple, but in the 21st century, they will definitely be beaten out with a broom.

"The humble house is simple, the two Mr. Jiang don't want to dislike it."

"Where is there, I don't know what to call Mr.?"

"Just call me Uncle Xu."

Yang Meili looked around curiously, and said, "Uncle Xu, are you the father and daughter living here?"

Xu Bodao: "That's right, Zhuo Jing left when my daughter was young, and now we are the only father and daughter left in this family. Seeing the two young masters traveling all over the world, this old man must have come from a long way, and I don't know where he wants to go?"

"Xinyang."

"Looking at the extraordinary bearing of the two, it's not like doing business."

Yang Meili opened her mouth to speak, and asked Wu Yao to hold his hand under the table, only to hear Wu Yao say: "We two brothers went to Xinyang to join relatives."

Xu Bo nodded and said, "I see..."

At this moment, the little girl came out with a tray and brought out two big bowls of noodles, smiled at Yang Meili and Wu Yao, and said in a soft voice: "You two are late, it's not easy to entertain the leftovers at home, the little girl is here Two bowls of thick noodles, I hope the two young masters will not dislike them."

Looking at the hot face, Yang Meili's eyes were straightened, and she kept saying, "I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it."

Wu Yao got up and put a bowl in front of her, and then took the chopsticks and handed them to her. These actions were already common among them, but in the eyes of others, it was not the case.

Xu Bo's eyes flashed brightly, and he said calmly, "You two are really brothers and sisters."

Only then did Wu Yao realize how inappropriate his subconscious actions were, and hurriedly explained: "We encountered bandits a few days ago, and my younger brother was injured. As the eldest brother, naturally we need to take care of him."

"That's that."

Yang Meili couldn't hear what they were saying at all, and she was not afraid of being burned, so she picked up the chopsticks and started eating. "呲念味勒" ate up all the noodles in a few strokes, and then picked up the bowl and drank the soup "gurgling".

Wu Yao ate slowly. Seeing her unfinished look, he hurriedly said, "Is it enough? Or I'll give you this bowl too?"

Yang Meili wiped her mouth, burped, and said with a satisfied smile: "No, I'm already full, you can eat by yourself."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt dizzy for a while.Yang Meili shook her head and said, "Strange, why are you so sleepy all of a sudden..."

"Son!"

What was Wu Yao yelling about?The last thought flashed through my mind, and then I didn't know anything.

This sleep was particularly restless, someone kept calling "Young Master" in her ear, and Yang Meili moved her neck impatiently, feeling her head was a bit heavy.With difficulty opening his heavy eyelids, his eyes were pitch black.

"My lord, are you awake?" A familiar voice was beside him.

"Wu Yao?" Yang Meili wanted to sit up, but found that she couldn't move her hands and feet. After struggling for a while, she realized that her hands and feet were tied up. She was sober in shock, "What's going on?!"

Wu Yao whispered, "I'm afraid I encountered a human trafficker."

"..."

Yang Meili was stunned: "Human traffickers?"

There was a sound of someone knocking on a wooden board outside: "Be quiet! Cut off your tongues if you make any more noise!"

Wu Yao whispered: "We may be in the cabin now, I don't know where these thieves plan to take us."

Her eyes seemed to be blindfolded and she couldn't see anything. Yang Meili trembled with fear, "Wu Yao, Wu Yao, where are you?"

"My lord," Wu Yao immediately rubbed over, "This subordinate is here."

Yang Meili hurriedly leaned close to him, skin to skin, and the familiar body temperature finally reassured her a little: "Why... I feel weak all over?"

"Maybe I've been drugged," Wu Yao said angrily, "If it wasn't for the drugs to seal up the internal energy, would a mere rope want to tie me up?"

"Then what should we do now?"

Wu Yao whispered in her ear: "Wait and see what happens."

"Wu Yao...will we die?"

In the darkness, Wu Yao seemed to smile, and his voice softened: "Don't worry, my lord, if the thief wants to take our lives, he won't keep us until now."

Yang Meili leaned her head on his chest in attachment, and said, "Wu Yao, aren't you afraid?"

"A few thieves are nothing to be afraid of."

Hearing what he said, Yang Meili's last worry disappeared.

Wu Yao suddenly became nervous: "My lord, is the wound serious?"

Yang Meili bent her mouth and said, "It's okay."

Wu Yao blamed himself: "It's all my fault that my subordinates are too careless, and I have brought you down to this..."

"Don't say such things, why don't you say that I am greedy?"

Wu Yao couldn't help laughing, and his voice became more and more gentle: "When we are out of danger, my subordinates will definitely take you to the restaurant to have a big meal."

Yang Meili couldn't help but swallowed her saliva, and said: "That's it, I want to eat fried pork shreds with green peppers, stewed pork ribs with mushrooms, West Lake sweet and sour fish, and Buddha jumping over the wall..."

After a few days, the boat seemed to have docked.After a while, there was only a "squeak", someone opened the cabin, and strong light poured in.Although she could feel the light, she still couldn't see anything. Yang Meili instinctively leaned against Wu Yao.

One said: "Gag their mouths."

Wu Yao asked in a deep voice, "Who are you guys!?"

The trafficker didn't speak, but just took two balls of cloth and stuffed them into their mouths respectively.Afterwards, they were taken out, pushed into a carriage, and started on the road again. Yang Meili couldn't see and couldn't speak. Only when she was close to Wu Yao could she feel a sense of security.

I don't know how long it took to wake up and sleep like this. On this day, Yang Meili was still in a coma when she suddenly heard a noise outside the carriage, and many people were hawking. It was expected to be at the market and busy "uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" He screamed, but unfortunately it was too noisy outside and no one heard him at all.

Just when she decided to give up, a familiar yet unfamiliar qinxiao and song floated from afar.Yang Meili was slightly startled by the familiar tune, and sat up abruptly.

Wu Yao became alert, and scratched at her hand: "My lord?"What's the matter?

Yang Meili ignored him, but pricked up her ears to listen quietly, lest it was her own hallucination.As the carriage approached, the music became clearer and clearer, accompanied by a woman's beautiful voice: "...Bi Luo Huang Quan...In a blink of an eye, the black silk turns into snow..."

It's "Green Silk Snow"!

Goosebumps all over Yang Meili's body, she never thought that she would hear her brother's song at this time of the dynasty.I remember that when my brother created this song, he played, revised, played and sang, and revised it over and over again at home... After that, the song became popular all over the country, and it was played wherever he went. Her ears were calloused, and she closed it The eyes can't sing wrongly, and it's even more impossible to hear wrongly.

Why does my brother's song appear here?Could it be...

"Hmmmm..." Yang Meili twisted like crazy, kicking and hitting the compartment with her feet.

Wu Yao was taken aback, and also called out "uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu".

But no matter what they do, they can't attract the attention of outsiders.The carriage gradually moved away from the hustle and bustle, and the song "Green Silk Snow" also gradually faded away, until the last sound could not be heard.

Yang Meili was already exhausted, she stopped struggling in despair, and sat blankly.Thinking that the one who sang outside just now was probably my elder brother, grievances and fears burst out, and tears kept falling.

Wu Yao stroked lightly in her palm: "My lord, are you alright?"

Yang Meili sniffed, and scratched in the palm of his hand: Did you hear someone singing just now?And Qin Xiao and Ming?

—Yes, what's wrong?

——That was the voice of the princess.

Wu Yao was shocked and yelled "Wuuuu".

"Shut up!" The trafficker slammed the carriage and cursed, "If you keep making noise, I'll cut off your tongues!"

Yang Meili grabbed Wu Yao and wrote in his heart: calm down.

——Prince, there are many similar voices in the world, are you sure it is the princess?

——No one knows that song except her.

——Prince, you can finally rest assured, at least the princess is fine.

--you're right.

Anyway, brother is fine, let's forget about her concern.

The carriage slowly stopped.

"Wanfu, girl Luluo." The trafficker who scolded them fiercely just now suddenly became servile.

A woman outside the carriage said coldly: "You asked Ba Ge to come to me, saying that this time there are good things, but don't be some low-end things."

"Don't dare, I will definitely be satisfied with Miss Bao this time."

"Open the car door."

The car door opened, and strong light flooded in.Yang Meili shrank back, and then her chin was grabbed by someone, and the other's fingers were cold, which made her shiver.

That Luluo girl's voice rang in my ears: "Mmm...not bad..."

Yang Meili tried her best to remain calm, but the corners of her mouth trembled uncontrollably.

That cold hand let go of her chin, and turned to touch her face, with a teasing laugh close to her ear: "Such delicate skin and tender flesh, I think he is from a rich family..."

"Miss Luluo is wise. Although these two keep saying they are brothers, you can tell from their clothes, words and deeds that they are definitely master and servant."

"Is your identity suspicious?"

"Their small luggage has been searched carefully, and nothing special was found, but there are quite a lot of entanglements. It is definitely a son of a rich family. He has nothing to do with his servants to go out for sightseeing."

Luluo touched Yang Meili's face enough, then stood up and said, "Okay, I'll accept these two."

"Thank you Luluo girl, thank you Luluo girl."

"Come on, take it away."

Then Yang Meili was untied from the ropes on her feet, dragged out of the car, and pushed forward.Wu Yao kept saying "huh huh" to let Yang Meili know that he was behind him.
