Chapter 718: Beautiful Women Are Untrustworthy

he bed, her mind replaying Xiao Yu Ge's words from earlier. She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep...Coming out of Qijia Pavilion, it was already midnight. Xiao Yuge, who had planned to return h...Xiao Yu's song heard straight wrinkles: "Then why don't you stop them"

Long Yuan chuckled bitterly: "How could we stand idly by The problem is, the people from Black Bear Village are cunning and treacherous. They have the ability to fly, often attacking us at night, trying to annex our village and then put pressure on the people living in the mountains. Over the past year, many of my brothers have died or been injured. We can't even carry out our mission of robbing the rich and helping the poor anymore. My adoptive father was also wounded by Hei Da Xiong, the leader of Black Bear Village, and his injuries haven't healed yet..."

"So, you risked hijacking us to get our money" Xiao Yuge seemed to have guessed his intentions.

Long Yuan Qing Zheng's face was immediately filled with guilt: "Guardian State Princess, this move is also helpless. Rest assured, we will not harm you in the slightest. As long as we get the money, I will immediately send people to escort you safely back down the mountain!"

Xiao Yu Ge let out a soft sigh, shaking her head. "Although your intentions are good, you've used the wrong approach. Don't you know that by kidnapping us up the mountain, your Yu Long Village might really be lost"

"This..." Long Yuan's face changed slightly.

"My lady Xiao and I are both princesses personally appointed by the Emperor. You have kidnapped us, and the Emperor will not let you go. Even if you get the money, your ending will not be any better." In fact, she was more worried that if Qian Tingxuan knew about this, with his temper, he would raze the Yu Long Village to the ground.

Then Long Yuan realized he had made a grave mistake. He steeled himself and said, "I'm the one who did this, I'll take responsibility for it. I will surrender to the authorities myself. Your Highness is righteous and just, I hope you can plead for my fellow bandits."

“You’re actually a man of your word!” Xiao Yuge was right, this Long Yuane had eyes that could see through people, but his mind wasn’t very sharp. Desperate times called for desperate measures, so he thought for a moment and asked, "Can the person you sent to the Xiangfu to redeem the money still be retrieved"

"I'm afraid it's too late." Long Yuan frowned slightly: "What does the County Princess want to do This money, I must get it, or else, the people of the counterfeit village and the mountain below will not be able to survive."

"Young Master Long, I have a way to help you and the villagers below get through this crisis. And I can guarantee that you and your brothers will never live in poverty again. But, do you trust me"

Long Yuan gazed deeply at the composed woman before him. For some reason, the moment their eyes met, a voice in his heart told him he could trust her.

Then, she nodded and said, "I believe you!"

"Good! Just trust me! Get some ink and paper, I'll write you a letter. You send it to the Prince of Freedom’s Mansion, and I guarantee that the Emperor won't find out, and you and all your brothers in Yu Long Village will be safe!"

Long Yuan hesitated for a moment, but ultimately ordered someone to bring him ink and paper.

Xiao Yu's song was hastily written and handed to him.

Long Yuan looked down, but was full of suspicion: "Miss, are you sure that's all My Longyuan Village can be safe just with these words" Originally, Xiao Yuge had only written a few simple words on the paper: Wait for me to come back!

"If you trust me, send someone immediately. If not, you can burn it! Continue with your plan, though I can confidently tell you that your previous plan was wrong!"

Long Yuan thought about it for a while, and finally chose to believe her: "Okay! I trust you!" He immediately ordered the maid beside him: "Dongdong, send this letter to Xiaoyao王府 right away!"

"Young Master, do you really believe her" The maid called Dongdong seemed to have a skeptical attitude towards Xiao Yuge.

"Send it quickly!" Longyu nevertheless chose to believe Xiao Yuge.

"Young Master, my mother said that the more beautiful a woman is, the less trustworthy she is. You mustn't be fooled by her alluring appearance!" Dongdong stomped her feet, seeming to disbelieve Xiao Yuge.

Xiao Yu's song smiled at her, blinking her beautiful eyes: "Little sister, are you saying I'm pretty"

Upon hearing this, the little girl puffed up her cheeks and snorted, "You call me little sister You don't look much older than me either. We can't even be sure who is bigger!"

"Winter, in front of the county princess, don't lose your manners!" Long Yuan hurriedly whispered a reprimand.

"Young Village Master, you've been seduced by her alluring appearance!" Dongdong stomped her feet angrily, her expression filled with jealousy and resentment.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Long Yuan said solemnly, "Quickly send the letter to Xiaoyao Wangfu!"

"Humph!" Although Dongdong was unwilling, he didn't dare disobey the young chieftain's order, so he stomped out angrily.

"My Lady, please forgive her. This little girl has been spoiled since she was young. If she has offended you in any way, I hope you will be magnanimous and overlook it!" Long Yuan hastily apologized on behalf of the little girl to Xiao Yuge.

"It's alright, she's just an innocent little girl. It's much better than those who are superficially pleasing and stab you in the back later on." Xiao Yuge appreciated genuine people.

"Report to the young chieftain!" At that moment, a subordinate rushed in in a panic.

"Ali, what happened" Long Yuan jumped to his feet from the chair.

"Young Chief, it's not good! We received a tip that the people from Heixiong Village are going to attack us again tonight!"

"What!" Long Yuan heard this, his brows furrowed instantly: "My adoptive father is seriously injured and hasn't fully recovered yet, they actually launched a surprise attack at this time, it's simply too much!"

"Young village master, what should we do now Their flying soldiers are too well-protected, we can't resist at all!" The man named Ali also had a worried and helpless look on his face.

"There's no other way, we can only tough it out now!" Long Yuan immediately ordered, putting the entire mountain village on high alert and preparing for a fight to the death.

After everything was arranged, she saw Xiao Yu Ge standing beside her. She pursed her lips as if she had made a decision: "Guardian of the Nation Princess, today is a time of great peril for my Yulong Village. You shouldn't have been involved. I apologize, but I will immediately order someone to send you down the mountain!"

"Wait!" Xiao Yuge stopped him. "Young Master, can you tell me about the flying people from Heixiong Village"

“That is...” Long Yuan just wanted to explain, but then he thought again: “Your Highness, there’s still time, you should hurry down the mountain. If my Longyuan Mountain Villa can escape this disaster today, I will definitely visit your Highness in person and apologize!”

"Young Master, although I am just a woman, I also understand what chivalry is. It's not right for you to kidnap us up the mountain today. However, I see your reasons and know you are doing this for the sake of the people in the village. Fighting evil is righteous. Tell me your story, perhaps I can help."

Unable to withstand her persistent questioning, Long Yuan had no choice but to tell her the truth.

Upon hearing his words, Xiao Yuge frowned, seeming half-believing and half-skeptical: "How could there be such a thing as flying humans in this world It's nothing more than taking advantage of the time, place, and people. From your description just now, it seems they use the art of birds, attaching wings to human bodies and then using the wind power to fly over. They are in the air while you are on the ground, naturally indefensible. But anything has its advantages and disadvantages, perhaps we can find a countermeasure."blood-stained clothes stuck together. To dress it properly, he would have to unbutton her clothes."Just sprinkle the powder on top." What was this man hesitating for Was he trying to undo her clothes...
