Quick Wear: Male supporting role, come to my arms quickly

Chapter 215: Childhood sweethearts with the villain?

"Hahaha, what are you kidding? You are like this, and you still want to be the village leader?" If Chu Yuan ignored the environment he was in at the moment and the chains tied to his hands and feet, he might have believed it.

"Why, girl, do you think I don't look like you?"

Chu Yuan wore this men's clothing casually just to facilitate his movements, so it was inevitable that he would be discovered.

Judging from his demeanor, he looked like a young man from a wealthy family. Chu Yuan tentatively asked, "Are you a hostage taken by these pirates?"

Xiao Wangjin found it interesting that the woman in front of him had obviously misunderstood something, so he continued, "You figured it out. I was kidnapped by these pirates. They asked my father to pay 5,000 taels of gold as ransom before they would let me go."

"Five thousand taels of gold, you are quite valuable, but have you ever thought about escaping by yourself?"

"Young lady, you are joking. I am just a weak scholar. How can I fight against tens of thousands of pirates in this village?"

Tens of thousands. It seems that the scale of Dongxiang Water Fort is much larger than they imagined. This makes it difficult to deal with.

Looking at the 'prisoner' in front of him, Chu Yuan decided to test his words: "How long have you been imprisoned here?"

Xiao Wangjin shook his head: "I don't know, maybe more than a month."

"More than a month? Your family hasn't come to redeem you yet. Are you giving up on you because you think five thousand taels of gold is too expensive?"

"Maybe, but they didn't do anything to me. They just restricted my freedom."

Chu Yuan rolled her eyes secretly. She dared to ask this man and he really dared to answer. One moment he said he was the village chief, and the next moment he followed her words and said he was a hostage. Not a single word of truth came out of his mouth.

After asking a few more questions about the situation in the water fort, he just shook his head and said he didn't know, then he started to act pitiful, and Chu Yuan was about to leave.

Xiao Wangjin's expression was tense. Why didn't this guy play by the rules?

Shouldn't an ordinary woman take him with her when she wants to escape because he is handsome and in a pitiful situation? He also wanted to go out and have fun.

However, the more unusual Chu Yuan was, the more interested Xiao Wangjin became in her.

After being locked up here for so many years, it's time to go out and see the world.

"Girl, please stay. If you want to escape, I can show you a way, but the condition is that you help me unlock the chains on my body."

Chu Yuan ignored him. It was obvious that this person's identity was not ordinary. If he let him go, who knows how much trouble he would get into.

After walking out, he considerately pressed the mechanism and closed the stone door from the outside.

Xiao Wangjin was frustrated, and shook his head with a smile: "What an interesting woman." After that, he used his internal energy to break the chains around his body, and pressed the mechanism at hand to open the stone door.

The moment he stepped out of the secret room, a man in black who was meditating in a house in the center of the village opened his eyes: "He's out."

A purple-dressed woman next to him paused and said, "Withdraw all the people outside immediately. We must not let him know what we are doing."

So overnight all the pirates outside retreated, and the lake was calm as if nothing had happened.

At this time, Chu Yuan also figured out the approximate terrain inside, returned to the room where they were originally imprisoned, and woke up the rest.

General Wu opened his eyes first: "Princess? Where are we?"

"Last night, some pirates knocked us unconscious and brought us to their base camp." Chu Yuan said as he untied them.

After hearing what happened last night, General Wu secretly hated himself for his rash behavior: "Princess, it was my carelessness that caused you to be abducted and brought to this place."

At this time, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside. They looked at each other, lay down tacitly and pretended to faint, and the ropes on their hands were also tied back.

Several big men opened the door, swiftly put them back into the sacks, and carried them out.

Chu Yuan was very puzzled. What was going on? Besides, with tens of thousands of people in the water fort, couldn't they find two people to carry them? It would be so uncomfortable to carry them like this.

But they were still pretending to be unconscious and could only endure it silently.

Chu Yuan thought they were going to be taken to the leader for questioning, but they ended up walking a long way and returning to the boat.

After being locked in the cabin, the few people finally got a chance to catch their breath. Rubbing their numb arms and legs, General Wu said, "Princess, they probably want to transfer us to another place."

"Let's wait and see." Chu Yuan didn't know what this group of people were thinking, so he could only wait and see.

Unexpectedly, when being carried up again, Chu Yuan saw the warships of Jiangning Prefecture. Now she doubted her life even more. Were they going to send them back?

After all this trouble, what’s the point?

Just as Chu Yuan had thought, they were sent back to the ship, even to the same room where she was when she was taken away.

After a while, General Wu came and knocked on the door, saying that he had something important to report.

"Princess, all the pirates on the lake disappeared overnight. The person on duty last night said that he saw all the warships turn around at the same time. They must have received the order to retreat."

The enemy has run away, so what's the point of fighting? Dongxiang Water Fort is easy to defend but difficult to attack. With the current military strength of Jiangning Prefecture, it is impossible to annihilate them in one fell swoop, so we can only retreat first.

The people did not know the details, and when they woke up the next day and saw the lake return to calm, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Most of the residents living nearby depend on this water for their livelihood. Now that the bandits have retreated, they can continue fishing.

Chu Yuan stayed in Jiangning Prefecture and did not leave. She found an inn to stay in. She felt uneasy until she found out the reason why the pirates retreated this time.

That night, an uninvited guest broke into her room.

"It's you? How did you get out?"

"Miss, you are joking. Of course, my father spent five thousand taels of gold to redeem me."

Chu Yuan rolled his eyes: "Do you think I look like a fool?"

Xiao Wangjin spread his hands and said, "I am telling the truth, but it's a pity that the girl doesn't believe me."

Seeing the serious look on the man opposite him, Chu Yuan somehow remembered something he had said in the cave.

"You...can't...really be the leader of Dongxiang Water Fort." After asking this question, Chu Yuan himself felt that it was too ridiculous.

But Xiao Wangjin nodded: "Yes, I never lie to anyone, especially a beautiful girl like you."

Chu Yuan chose to ignore the second half of his sentence: "Since you are the village leader, why are you locked up in the cave?"

"I wasn't locked up. That was where I was practicing martial arts in seclusion. Everyone in the village knew about it."

"Ah? Do I have to be chained when practicing in seclusion?" Chu Yuan didn't quite believe it. Practicing is just for practicing, but is it necessary to make myself look like a prisoner?

Xiao Wangjin rarely showed a lonely look: "Because this is a very evil martial art, if you are not careful you will go astray."
