As soon as Ye Xi turned around, Ye Lan immediately grabbed her shoulders, "Don't move around."

"Sure enough, following this group of girls will pay off," the bandit leader grinned grimly, and blinked at Ye Xi, "It looks like a son of a rich family."

Xiao Chong cautiously approached Ye Lan, and kept winking at Tao Hua.

Taohua naturally understood, and immediately grabbed the hands of the people around her, and formed a semicircle of four girls in a row, blocking Ye Lan and the others.

"Yo, I've still protected the Lord." The bandit leader's voice was hoarse, he coughed and laughed a few times, and more people appeared behind him.

Ye Lan really hated herself for being ungrateful. A few days ago, she even mentioned the bandits to her father, but she didn't expect to meet her immediately.

These bandits had obviously been in ambush for a long time. The people who came to Tanyue Temple to offer incense had been asking for it early. Now they had basically finished worshiping Buddha and hurried back to the city. Only their family stayed here.

Thinking that Taohua and the others were making noise on the road, and after being heard about the arrangement, these people felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it and followed them all the time.

These people hold all kinds of weapons in their hands, just looking at them makes people frightened.

Especially the little girls like Taohua who just stay in the mansion all day long, where have they ever seen such a scene, Xiao Chong can see their bodies trembling violently from such a distance.

Ye Lan's hand tugged hard, pulling Ye Xi to Xiao Chong, and nodded towards Xiao Chong.

Xiao Chong was puzzled, but he still supported Ye Xi with both hands, and said to Ye Xi in a soft but stern voice, "Don't cry!"

Ye Xi's eyes were red, and he sniffed hard, "I won't cry."

Xiao Chong hugged Ye Xi in his arms and prevented her from looking ahead, while he himself stared at Ye Lan, wondering what he was going to do.

"I think you are just asking for money." Ye Lan's voice trembled a little, but now he is the only person in charge here, and he has to shoulder the responsibility.

The bandit leader laughed loudly, "Such little girls, it's not wrong for us to rob them along the way."

The dark-skinned men behind him also laughed.

"You have to be clear, if you are only asking for money, you can still get it. If you dare to do anything to these girls, then our Ye family will never let you go!"

"Ye Family?" The bandit leader raised his eyebrows, "Luobei City's big cast iron family, Ye Family?"

Ye Lan was also worried. If he admitted it, would it scare the bandits or make them more presumptuous, but he couldn't help hesitating at this time, "That's right!"

"Could you be the second young master Ye Lan?"

"Correct."

Seeing Ye Lan's hands trembling, Xiao Chong felt even more uneasy. Could it be that these people are coming for the Ye family?

"Ye's family is not short of money, you can count them up, let them go, and someone will send them to the house." Ye Lan took a breath and made up her mind.

"Can I trust you?"

"Of course you don't trust me like that, so I'll go with you."

"What if we want a girl?"

"You can also see that these little girls are all serving people, and all of them here are not as valuable as me alone."

"Not necessarily," the bandit raised the knife in his hand and pointed at Ye Xi.

Ye Xi couldn't see him, but he could feel the gloomy murderous aura, and his whole body twitched. Xiao Chong hurriedly restrained her, "It's okay." He pointed at the bandits and shouted, "You group of old men, how dare you go to If a child makes a move, is he still showing loyalty?"

After he finished speaking, he spat.

The bandit leader was despised by such a small guy, and he couldn't hold back, "Okay, the second young master, please stay!"

Ye Lan looked at Taohua and ordered, "Go back to mother!"

"It doesn't need much, 3 taels of gold, we will return the second young master to you intact, with good arms and legs." The bandit leader stepped on the ground under his feet twice, "After three days, he is still here, with one hand Pay the money, hand it over to the person."

Taohua gritted her teeth, knowing that now is not the time to bargain with the bandits, she hurriedly led the others, "Let's go!"

"Xiao Chong! You go too!" Ye Lan glanced at Xiao Chong who wanted to hand Ye Xi over to Taohua, and then went forward and retreated with him, and said sharply.

He rarely used such a harsh tone, so Xiao Chong couldn't resist, and quickly pulled Ye Xi who was still sobbing, "Miss, let's go!"

"Brother," Ye Xi said timidly, not wanting to look back, "Brother..."

"Go!" Ye Lan urged.

Xiao Chong and the others returned the same way, halfway there he suddenly stopped, Tao Hua looked at him, "What's wrong?"

"I'm going to see Second Young Master!"

Tao Hua grabbed him tightly, "You're crazy, what's the use of you going back now!"

Xiao Chong didn't want to drag her, so he broke away from her, "Go back first, I will naturally have a solution."

"You!" Taohua is still taking care of Ye Xi who is on the verge of collapse, how can he spare time to take care of Xiao Chong, "I can't take care of it anymore!"

Xiao Chong turned his head and looked at Taohua and the others' backs disappearing in front of his eyes. He collected himself, he had to go and see Ye Lan.

If what Ye Lan said was true, these people were escaped slaves who revolted and took over the hills, Ye Lan would have to suffer.

What's more, what if these desperadoes take the money and don't pay it back.

Xiao Chong clenched the obsidian necklace around his neck, and ran desperately towards the lake.

Faster, faster.

He remembered that the group who captured Ye Lan was quite large, and it would take a lot of time to get rid of them all.

The closer he got to the lake, the more careful Xiao Chong would be. He just had to follow behind, and he must not be found by anyone.

Finally caught a glimpse of some shadows, Xiao Chong felt relieved.

Ye Lan was held up by two people, her hands were tied behind her back, and she couldn't move.

The injury on his shoulder was too good to be considered agile, but it hurt again after being dragged by these people.

Ye Lan tried his best to bear it, but his lips had been bitten white by himself.

He didn't know if it was wise for him to do so, but he had promised these little girls to protect them.
