Chapter 457 Abu is in trouble
Xing'er washed herself briefly with the water brought by the waiter and then planned to apply medicine on herself.
But because the injury was on her thigh and the inn was unfamiliar, she felt very insecure.
He moved a chair to block the door, then lifted up his trouser legs. Before he finished applying the medicine, he heard a knock on the door, and he hurriedly tidied his clothes.
He asked in a hurry, "Who?"
"It's me."
Hearing Abu's voice, she felt relieved, then delighted, and hurriedly moved the chair away, "You're back so soon."
Abu glanced around the room and asked, "Did you see any unusual movement just now?"
His elder sister's words reminded him.
The princess is missing, and she is a princess who is about to be married off. How could Emperor Pu not send people to search for her everywhere?
How could they not find a weak and naked girl after searching for her? But Xing'er escaped all the way to the border.
All he could think of was that Emperor Pu's men were nearby.
The reason why they didn't show up was probably because they wanted the little princess to suffer outside, and then go back and accept her fate after being frustrated.
Therefore, the bandits only kidnapped her and threatened to take her to the mountain stronghold, but they did not dare to cause any actual harm to her.
But since he was a bandit, how could he not touch a beautiful woman like Xing'er?
He was careless and knew little about the situation in Pu State. He didn't know that the little princess had only one way to escape, so he didn't think enough about it.
Seeing his serious expression, Xing'er's heart started to lift again. "I'm fine, why are you asking? Is there something wrong?"
Could it be that her father's men discovered her?
Xing'er shuddered at the thought of being captured and married off to Chilie, where she might be tortured to death by Prince Chilie at any time.
Seeing this, Abu couldn't help but slow down his tone, "I saw your door was blocked and thought something was wrong."
In the end, he didn't tell her his guess.
"So that's how it is."
Xing'er's hand that was clutching her dress slowly loosened, "I blocked the door because I was afraid someone would break in."
Abu glanced at the chair. If someone really broke in, what use would a chair like that be?
He is really a person who has not experienced much of the world.
Back out the door, Abu said, "Please apply the medicine. I'll go check outside."
There was a faint smell of medicine on her body, and there was still green ointment on her fingers. She must have not finished applying the medicine yet and did not have time to wipe her hands before opening the door.
After closing the door, Abu jumped onto the roof and looked around vigilantly. Sure enough, he saw someone with suspicious behavior in the distance.
Seeing Wei Qingyan coming towards them, Abu used his lightness skills to catch up with the suspicious man.
With sister around, Xing'er will be safe.
Wei Qingyan walked over slowly, signaled the secret guard to follow Abu, and waited for a moment before raising his hand to knock on the door.
Xing'er saw Wei Qingyan's face through the crack in the door, mistook her for Abu, and hurriedly opened the door.
But when the door opened and she saw Wei Qingyan clearly, she became alert and asked, "Who are you?"
"How do you know I'm not him?"
Wei Qingyan used a female voice.
It's really surprising.
She dressed as a man all the way, raised her shoes, and had her Adam's apple and face processed, making her look exactly like Abu.
How come the little princess saw the clue at a glance?
"Your eyes are different."
After the little princess finished her reply, she asked, "Are you Brother Xinglan's family?"
Otherwise, how could they look so similar?
Brother Xinglan?
Wei Qingyan chewed over the name in his mind.
She nodded and said, "I am his twin sister. Tell me, what is the difference between our eyes?"
Hearing that she was Abu's sister, Xing'er raised her hand and welcomed Wei Qingyan into the house. After the two sat down, she said, "I can't explain it, it's just a feeling."
Shi Xinglan's eyes were calm, clean and pure.
Although the person in front of her was smiling, his eyes were sharp and deep, making it difficult to see through. The majestic aura around him reminded her of her father when he was in the court.
But she didn't know the visitor's temperament, so she didn't say much.
"Your feeling is quite accurate."
How could Wei Qingyan not see that she was not telling the truth? This little princess was not as simple and foolish as Abu said.
Then he laughed and said, "We used to pretend to be each other, but many people couldn't tell us apart."
Xing'er also laughed and asked, "Sister, you are looking for me because of something, right?"
Wei Qingyan raised his eyebrows. There were really no fools in the royal family.
It was probably because when Abu first met the little princess, she was in a vulnerable group, so he thought that this girl was simple and easy to be bullied.
The little princess was perhaps grateful to Abu for saving her, or perhaps she had something to ask of him, so she became less wary of him.
"Do you know what my brother did?"
Xing'er shook her head, "I don't know, I hope my sister can tell me."
Wei Qingyan pointed outside the door and said, "He noticed someone was staring at your room, so he chased him out."
Xing'er thought of something when she heard that, and quickly got up and walked to the door to look outside.
But the person had long since disappeared. What could she see? Then she heard Wei Qingyan ask again, "You know who is staring at you, right?"
"It should be my father's people."
Xing'er didn't hide it.
There was a hint of dejection in his voice, but he was eventually discovered by his father and the others.
"Sister, can you please send someone to find Brother Xinglan? My father has many experts under his command."
"Are you worried about him getting hurt?"
I'm not a heartless person.
The coldness in Wei Qingyan's eyes melted a little.
Xing'er lowered her eyes, "I don't want him to be implicated by me."
"But when you made up your mind to follow him, didn't you think of this possibility?"
Wei Qingyan laughed, "The little princess who was already engaged to Chi Lie was actually alone with a man from another world. If Emperor Pu knew about this, how would he deal with that foolish boy?"
"You... who are you?"
Xing'er immediately stood up and looked at Wei Qingyan warily.
Wei Qingyan also stood up. "I've already told you that I'm his sister, a biological sister from the same mother. The princess hasn't answered my question yet."
"I will tell my father that he saved me out of kindness..."
"What if his kindness ruins His Majesty Pu's plan?"
Wei Qingyan interrupted her, "Princess, are you sure you can protect him?"
Xing'er's face gradually turned pale. "Where are they? Please take me there, sister."
She understood.
My father's men didn't just discover her now; they knew her whereabouts from the beginning.
No wonder, when she was kidnapped by bandits, the government did not react at all. She just thought that the government was incompetent or in collusion with the bandits.
No wonder the bandits begged for mercy as soon as Big Brother Xinglan showed up, so Big Brother Xinglan didn’t kill them. Maybe they weren’t real bandits at all?
But it is true that she was a princess with an engagement and she was alone with and rode with a man from another country.
My father is so afraid of the Chilie Kingdom. If he is worried that she will be with a man outside her marriage and Chilie will mind, will my father...will he kill Brother Xinglan?
Yes.
The emperor is no longer the kind old man who held her in his hands.
In order to rely on Chi Lie, he even abandoned his dearest daughter, let alone an outsider.
Thinking of this, she really panicked.
So, when she followed Wei Qingyan to a bamboo forest outside the city and saw Abu being besieged by more than a dozen people, including her fifth brother, the best master of Pu State, she ignored the pain in her feet and hurried forward, "Fifth brother, stop, stop."
The man called Fifth Brother only glanced at him indifferently, without any intention of stopping. Instead, he shouted, "Xing'er, step back."
The offensive became more fierce.
Seeing the long sword in his hand stabbing towards Abu, Xing'er stood in front of Abu regardless of anything.
Seeing this, Wei Qingyan slowly put the dagger in his hand back to his waist.
