Wonderland of Love 乐游原 Episode 3

Knowing that Cui Lin's life or death was uncertain, Liu Chengfeng, Cui's son of the Cui family army, immediately sent troops to Guo Zhi's military camp. Personal guards Tao Zi and Chen Xing rushed to return their orders, saying that the Lord was fine. Tao Zi is Cui Lin's personal maid. The two grew up together. They are proficient in pharmacology and can find traces of Cui Lin based on the special medicinal powder on her body. At this time, Cui Lin was being tied up hand and foot by Huang Youyi, a bandit from Mingdai Mountain. Along with her was Li Ni who jumped into the cave to give her food.

The bandits couldn't make up their minds about what to do with the beautiful Cui Lin. Some said they sold it for money, and some said they married her to be the wife of Yazhai. Huang Youyi felt a headache after hearing this, so he immediately interrupted them and asked who Cui Lin was. Cui Lin's eyes turned cunningly, and she lied that she was the concubine of the emperor's grandson Li Ni. The person involved, Li Ni, was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and couldn't help but admire Cui Lin's way of lying without blushing. But in order not to cause trouble, he had no choice but to follow Cui Lin's words and claim that he was Li Ni's bodyguard, and specially escorted this "Li Ni's beloved concubine" to Wangzhou.

Now that the Li royal family has fallen, how could the bandits believe what they said. Some bandits jumped in and remembered that Zhao Youde in the mountains had previously been with the Western Army. As soon as Zhao Youde saw Li Ni, he rushed forward to recognize him. He was very surprised to meet Shiqi Lang here. At this time, Cui Lin learned that the enemy behind her was actually the emperor's grandson Li Ni. Li Ni seemed to have arrived at her own home, and was being cheered and untied by people, who also had Cui Lin tied up more tightly.

In order to rebel, Sun Jing burned, killed and looted nearby villages, which is why Zhao Youde defected to the bandits. Speaking of the imperial court, everyone is full of bitterness. This traitor Sun Jing doesn't care about the life and death of the people, and the previous Li family is not much better. Several corvee expeditions forced these people to become bandits and occupy the mountains as kings. Zhao Youde suggested that everyone simply recognize Li Ni as their eldest brother and join the Zhenxi Army together. This group of bandits was also true-hearted. Before Li Yi could speak, they gathered around him and made a blood alliance. But that knife was obviously aimed at Cui Lin of the "Li Royal Family".

Seeing this, Li Ni felt blocked and lied that the royal concubine was his sweetheart and that the purpose of going out this time was to elope. Hearing this, the bandits changed their attitude. They affectionately called Cui Lin sister-in-law and hurriedly untied her. Everyone talked and laughed and went to the "wedding room". Li Yi was unable to get off the tiger, so he and Cui Lin could only hide in the room. Seeing no outsiders, the two of them were no longer polite and fought for the bed. Li Ni simply pretended to be a prostitute and wanted to force Cui Lin to go down. Cui Lin ignored her and turned around to rest.

At this time, Taozi had followed the medicine powder to find the cottage. Seeing that Li Ni was plotting against Cui Lin, she was so angry that she activated the small crossbow in her hand. Li Ni noticed it in time and protected Cui Lin in front of him. When Cui Lin saw the short arrow, she knew it was Tao Zi who was coming, so she immediately pushed Li Ni away and stood up. At the same time, Xie Changer also rushed over. Before several people could introduce each other, there was a commotion outside, saying that Guo Zhi was going to lead his army to attack the mountain. Li Ni and Cui Lin had been away for many days, and they had to return to their respective military camps quickly, so they left Xie Chang'er and Tao Zi behind to help the bandits.

Cui Lin's leg injury has not healed yet and she cannot walk on the mountain trail. In order to deceive others, Li Ni took away the villagers' clothes and bought a carriage. After finally arriving at the pass, Sun Jing's subordinates robbed the people of their belongings. The two of them were angry, but they couldn't take risks, so they had no choice but to turn the carriage around and head towards the mountain road. The mountain road was really bumpy, and Cui Lin felt hot all over in pain. Li Yi frowned and had no choice but to carry Cui Lin on his back and continue moving forward. When Cui Lin woke up, she found that she was sleeping on a straw mat and Li Ni was grilling meat nearby.

At this time, a voice suddenly came from outside. Li Ni nervously picked up the dagger and reached into the gap. After all, the people who came were not bandits or soldiers, but the old couple who rescued these two people. The old couple came back from hunting in the mountains, and the four of them had a very satisfying meal. At night, while the old woman was sleeping, Cui Lin stuffed her beads into her clothes. After a good night's sleep, he was awakened by a group of menacing officers and soldiers. The old couple quickly opened the cellar and let Cui Lin and Li Ni hide in, while the two of them stayed outside to deal with the situation. The old couple insisted that they had never seen strangers, so the group of officers and soldiers let them go.

But when Cui Lin and Li Ni came out, they saw only the bodies of the old couple. The two were hit by several arrows in the back, and even before they died, they held hands and refused to let go. Li Ni was angry and blamed Cui Lin for stabbing him unconscious and failing to save the old couple in time. But according to the situation at that time, Cui Lin had no choice.
