Chapter 146 Cousin, I'm Scared Too
"Help!"
Jiang Tunan was resting on Xiao Mingrui's back when suddenly a woman rushed out in a panic.
"Mr. Xiao!? Save me! I..."
Hope ignited in Su Xiaoxiao's eyes, but it instantly extinguished when she saw Jiang Tunan behind Xiao Mingrui.
"Ms. Jiang...Ms. Jiang?! You...are still alive..."
Su Xiaoxiao felt a little strange. When she heard that Jiang Tunan was in trouble, she still hoped that Jiang Tunan was safe. But now that she really saw Jiang Tunan being carried safely by Xiao Mingrui, she felt a little uncomfortable.
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head, trying to get rid of the bad thoughts in her mind. It was a good thing that Miss Jiang returned safely, and she should be happy for her.
"Miss Su, what happened?"
Jiang Tunan patted Xiao Mingrui gently, signaling him to put him down.
"My maid Guo'er and I were originally playing in this forest, but unexpectedly we ran into bandits nearby. Guo'er was captured by the bandits in order to protect me. Master Xiao, please save Guo'er!"
Su Xiaoxiao was in tears, but she felt guilty when she mentioned the word "travel" and did not dare to look at Xiao Mingrui's expression.
Jiang Tunan had a bad feeling. As far as she knew, the only possible bandits in the forest were Hua Bei and others.
Wait! Su Xiaoxiao → heroine, Hua Bei → male supporting role, it seems like something is missing...
By the way, where is the male lead?
"Cousin Mingrui, could it be that cousin Mingli has also come to Yuxi County?"
Xiao Mingrui was a little surprised.
"how do you know?"
Jiang Tunan was speechless. Well, well, so his previous escape was just to reasonably lead to the plot between the male supporting role and the female protagonist, and to facilitate the three-way Shura scene between the male protagonist, the female protagonist, and the male supporting role.
It turns out that I am here to be a spectator.
"Cousin Mingrui, Miss Su also said there are bandits here, so we should leave as soon as possible."
Jiang Tunan pulled Xiao Mingrui's hand and was about to leave, but was stopped by Su Xiaoxiao.
Jiang Tunan:?
"Miss Su, what do you want to do?"
Su Xiaoxiao's face showed three parts of weakness, three parts of strength, three parts of sadness, and one part of condemnation towards Jiang Tunan.
"Miss Jiang, my maid was captured by bandits. You are so anxious to drag Master Xiao away. Don't you want him to rescue my maid?"
Jiang Tunan smiled inexplicably.
"Let me ask you, how many bandits are there?"
Su Xiaoxiao was stunned at first, then replied hesitantly,
"About twelve or thirteen."
Jiang Tunan pointed at himself and Xiao Mingrui again.
"So how many people do you think we are?"
Su Xiaoxiao realized the implication of Jiang Tunan's words and was speechless for a moment. After a while, she seemed to think of something.
"Although we are outnumbered, we can find a way. There are battles in history books where a small force defeated a large one. Do we really have to ignore Guo'er's life and death just because the enemy has more people?"
Jiang Tunan didn't understand and was greatly shocked. Seeing that Jiang Tunan didn't say anything, Su Xiaoxiao thought that Jiang Tunan felt guilty, so she continued to condemn him.
"After what happened in the cave, I thought Miss Jiang was an upright and courageous person. I didn't expect her to be so timid today. I am really disappointed."
Jiang Tunan yawned and cleaned his ears. Moral blackmail, right? She can do it too.
"Miss Su must have been very good at cooking when she was in her boudoir, so she was good at passing the buck. But even if we take a step back, Miss Su's maid was captured, but Miss Su was only concerned about escaping for her own life. Isn't that watching someone die without helping?
Putting aside the facts, you, a young lady from a wealthy family, came to this remote place with only a maid. I have reason to suspect that you deliberately used the bandits to get rid of your maid."
Su Xiaoxiao's eyes instantly became moist. Xiao Mingrui, who was watching the show at the side, suddenly felt uncomfortable.
"Cousin, don't be so unreasonable..."
After Xiao Mingrui finished speaking, he was stunned. How could he say such a thing?
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Mingrui with gratitude. She knew that Mr. Xiao would not easily agree with what Jiang Tunan said.
Jiang Tunan's face fell instantly. Su Xiaoxiao's female protagonist buff was so strong that no matter where she went, there were male characters speaking for her. Xiao Mingrui saw that Jiang Tunan's face was a little ugly, and a trace of panic flashed through his heart, and then he explained,
"What I mean is, cousin, don't get entangled with her any more. We should leave here now."
Jiang Tunan thought, this sounds good to the ear, Xiao Mingrui is a little better than Liangchuan Long, at least he is reasonable, so his face immediately returned to the previous pleasant expression, and said softly,
"Okay, cousin Mingrui~"
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Mingrui with a wronged look on her face.
"Mr. Xiao, but Guo'er..."
Xiao Mingrui turned his head away, trying to avoid Su Xiaoxiao's sight.
"I'm sorry Miss Su, I'm just a scholar, not good at martial arts, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to rescue your maid."
Jiang Tunan supported Xiao Mingrui and limped past Su Xiaoxiao.
"Don't worry, Miss Su. I will go back to Yuxi County to call for help. When I return to Kyoto, I will do my best to publicize Miss Su's heroic act. Come on, Miss Su!"
Jiang Tunan's words actually put Su Xiaoxiao on a moral high ground. If Su Xiaoxiao left with Xiao Mingrui at this time, it would seem that her words were insincere. But if she stayed alone, it would be tantamount to waiting for bandits to come and catch her. Therefore, Su Xiaoxiao was in a dilemma at this time.
Xiao Mingrui: (shaking his head helplessly) Why did you provoke her?
"None of you can leave!"
Jiang Tunan and Xiao Mingrui had only taken a few steps when Hua Bei jumped down from the tree. The moment he landed, a dozen men with weapons quickly surrounded him.
"You little bitch! I finally found you!"
Hua Bei yelled in hatred, staring at Su Xiaoxiao fiercely. Behind him was Guo'er who was tied up. Because Guo'er's mouth was stuffed with a cloth strip, she could only make a "woohoo" sound.
Su Xiaoxiao hid behind Xiao Mingrui with a frightened look on her face, and pushed Jiang Tunan aside.
"Mr. Xiao, I'm scared."
Xiao Mingrui took a big step to the side and stood just behind Jiang Tunan.
"Cousin, I'm scared too."
Su Xiaoxiao: ....
Jiang Tunan: ? Do you have any shame?
"Are you here too?"
Hua Bei then noticed Jiang Tunan, but he only glanced at him briefly before returning his gaze to Su Xiaoxiao. His eyes were filled with anger.
"You little bitch, I'm not done with you!"
Jiang Tunan glanced back and forth between Su Xiaoxiao and Hua Bei. As expected, when the heroine appeared, the male supporting role only had eyes for her, so Jiang Tunan smiled flatteringly and said,
"It seems that Mr. Hua has come here specifically to see Miss Su. You two can chat slowly. My cousin and I will take our leave first."
Jiang Tunan pulled Xiao Mingrui and turned to leave, but heard Hua Bei speak coldly,
"Catch them all back!"
