After the marriage, the sick and weak husband fell off the horse

Chapter 89: Holding the princess hostage to survive

General Pei has experienced hundreds of battles, and his meticulous work on the battlefield does not require careful planning.

General Pei immediately noticed something was wrong. He was about to interrogate the woman when he was suddenly touched lightly on the waist. There was only Xie Chunchao beside him. He looked sideways at her and saw Xie Chunchao shaking his head gently at him.

The deputy general couldn't make up his mind and looked to General Pei for his opinion. He heard General Pei's voice as usual and said, "Keep going."

Upon hearing this, the deputy general warned the woman again, telling her not to play any tricks, and then continued to move forward.

General Pei slowed down and asked in a low voice, "Princess Princess, did you know that there was something wrong with that woman?"

Xie Chunchao: "When she first came up, I noticed something different in her expression, so I became a little suspicious of her."

"When she said what she just said, I was [-]% suspicious of her."

When Xie Chunchao said this, he paused and added, "Besides, we have been walking for so long and still haven't reached the place she mentioned. She just said that she ran to the top of the mountain in one breath and didn't dare to stop."

"Does General Pei think that with her physical strength, she would be in such a state if she could run up the top of the mountain in one breath?"

General Pei recalled how the lady looked when she just came up. Although she looked panicked, her face was not red and she was out of breath. If she really ran up from here, her physical strength would be better than that of the strongest soldier under his command.

"She's lying." General Pei stated the facts calmly.

"Princess, you know it's a scam, why do you still...?"

Xie Chunchao bent his eyes and said, "General Pei, don't you think this is a good opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop?"

General Pei looked at her smiling eyes and the spirit in her brows, and suddenly felt that she looked very much like General Xie.

He was stunned for a moment, then whispered, "But it's too dangerous after all."

"If the governor wants to leave first, just leave the rest to them."

Xie Chunchao raised his hand and touched the golden peony hairpin on his temples, and said, "General Pei, you should understand that the road my brother and I are going to take next is far more dangerous than these bandits."

"Can you protect me for a while, can you protect me for a lifetime?"

"Some things I always have to go through."

"If I don't even have the courage to face these little bandits today, how can I help my brother in the future?"

General Pei moved his lips and said, "The general knows."

While the two were talking, the woman in front stopped. She pointed here and said, "I...is the bandit we met here."

Under the command of the deputy general, the soldiers began to search for traces, and General Pei immediately noticed the towering peak on the right, which was an excellent base for an ambush.

If he were a bandit, he would definitely be stationed there, whether it was shooting arrows from a high place or...

He shouted, "Back off!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of rolling rocks coming from above. Fortunately, he was prepared in advance, so although the team was scattered for a while, there were no casualties.

General Pei ordered his lieutenant to lead people to rush up the high slope from the other side and capture all the remaining bandits.

Xie Chunchao accompanied General Pei, but it was obviously the same road and they had no problem walking on it. However, when Xie Chunchao walked by, something strange suddenly happened.

The originally plain ground suddenly grew into a large net, trapping Xie Chunchao in it. General Pei was immediately anxious and raised his knife to rescue the man, but the net moved too fast, and his knife was never able to touch it. Net, and because of Xie Chunchao's status as the princess, he did not dare to act rashly for fear of hurting Xie Chunchao.

Xie Chunchao was caged in the net, and the rough hemp rope strangled her body, which made her very uncomfortable, but she still did not forget to send signals to General Pei with her eyes.

If those bandits wanted to get out alive, they would definitely not really kill her. I'm afraid they just wanted to use her as a hostage to blackmail General Pei in exchange for a chance to escape.

In the dense forest, Mingqiu looked at Xie Chunchao who was being hung up by the bandits from a distance, and said anxiously, "Sir, the princess has been arrested! Do we want to help?" Lin Jingrong touched the fan on his waist and said, " hold on."

Mingqiu: The princess will feel cold if she waits any longer!

Xie Chunchao heard the joyful sound of bandits while he was dizzy.

"Boss, we caught this woman!"

"I really didn't expect that these officers and soldiers were so stupid and fell into our trap so easily."

"You still have some ideas, and you often learn from the military advisor."

"Hey, I thought of it after seeing the military advisor use it once before."

Xie Chunchao keenly grasped this keyword, military advisor?

She was thrown to the ground so hard that she was a little dazzled. When she recovered, there were several unfamiliar faces in front of her.

They looked ferocious and tall. Xie Chunchao pretended to be scared on the surface, but in reality he was silently counting how many of them there were.

Eighteen people.

Xie Chunchao chuckled. She and General Pei looked at them highly, thinking that there were at least twenty or thirty people left.

Unexpectedly, there were only eighteen people left.

"Boss, these girls are so pretty." One of the bandits looked at Xie Chunchao with a squinted look, and his dirty hands were about to touch Xie Chunchao's face.

Xie Chunchao felt disgusted in his heart and wished he could cut off his hand.

The bandit known as the boss held Xie Chunchao hostage and said, "Whether she looks good or not depends on her life! Now that we have her in hand, we are not afraid that those officers and soldiers will not let us go."

"Boss is right." The bandits agreed one after another.

The boss pointed at one of the smart-looking bandits and said, "Go and send a message and ask them to let us go, or I will kill her!"

They are all experts at kidnapping.

So after the person was called, he said without thinking, "People below, listen, this girl is in our hands. If we don't let our brothers leave, we will kill her immediately."

General Pei's black eyes were as black as ink, and he said coldly, "Let me see if anyone is okay first!"

The bandit turned back and glanced at the boss. The boss naturally heard General Pei's voice and took Xie Chunchao to the front to show the people below him clearly.

"Did you see her? She is fine! As long as she lets us go, we will let her go."

"Otherwise." The bandit smiled obscenely and put the knife on Xie Chunchao's face, "Such a beauty as beautiful as a flower will be ruined."

"Okay." General Pei agreed, "I promise you."

The bandits were overjoyed. They thought they would die today, but they didn't expect that another village would see a bright future!

"You prepare eighteen fast horses for us at the foot of the mountain. Let your people stay far away. After we leave, we will let them go."

"Okay." General Pei said, "I want you to do it right away."

The eighteen people gathered together and walked down carefully with Xie Chunchao in their arms. They were relieved when they saw that they did not move. General Pei's eyes met Xie Chunchao's, and they flickered, and then returned to normal.
