Chapter 114 The Third Prince is Busy
"You, you don't have to scare us." The man stared at Xiao Jiuyue and said, "Our lives are all tied to our belts. We are not afraid of anything. We don't understand the emperor or the minister! We only care about money!"
"Yes, we only recognize silver." The remaining five people echoed in unison, as if they could gain courage as long as their voices were loud enough.
Xiao Jiuyue took out her purse, which contained only some small change. She said, "Here's some small change. Let's have some tea. As for the remaining two hundred taels of silver, I'll keep my word."
"Are you sending away a beggar?" The man weighed the silver in his hand, which looked like only seven or eight taels at most. He pulled Xiao Jiayuan forward and said threateningly, "You, come here!"
"Hmm." Xiao Jiayuan shook his head desperately, his red eyes filled with tears.
"Let my brother go." Xiao Jiuyue spread her hands and said, "I am just a weak woman. If you capture me, then you have completed your mission. Otherwise, I will not go."
Xiao Jiuyue's voice was light but her words were firm. She would not go over unless the other party let her go.
The sword in Manager Jin's hand was still stained with blood, and the man pushed Xiao Jiachen over.
"No, two." Xiao Jiuyue bargained, and at the same time pulled Xiao Jiachen behind him to protect him.
"Believe it or not, I will kill him?" The man increased the force of the dagger in his hand, leaving a bloody mark on Xiao Jiayuan's neck.
"Stop." Xiao Jiuyue looked at the red mark, horrified. She stepped forward and said, "If anything happens to him, then none of us will survive. We should all perish together."
The man held the dagger motionless, watching Xiao Jiuyue approach step by step, as if seeing the silver waving at him. Excitement was in his eyes, and he said to the man next to him: "Ada, Asan, get the rope and tie him up."
"Jiayuan, do you remember the carrot squat?" Xiao Jiuyue walked forward and winked at Xiao Jiayuan. When they took the rope to tie her up, her light body suddenly jumped up.
"Close your eyes."
Xiao Jiuyue's voice rang out, and her wide sleeves flew up, like a stunning water sleeve dance!
The man and the others were all stunned. He took a deep breath, and a faint fragrance filled his nose. He said, "It smells good!"
Taking advantage of the moment when the man bent down, Xiao Jiuyue pulled out the dagger tied to his foot and stabbed the man directly!
Xiao Jiayuan obediently closed his eyes and pulled out the cloth stuffed in his mouth. He squatted down obediently. All he could hear were shouts of fighting and killing, and he felt something sticky and warm on his back.
"Poisonous, this woman is poisonous." The man covered his stabbed shoulder and just raised the dagger to resist, but he found that his hands and feet were weak and powerless, like fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others!
"Jiayuan, don't open your eyes." Xiao Jiuyue held Xiao Jiayuan's hand and stood up.
"Sister." Xiao Jiayuan held her hand tightly and asked anxiously, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, I'm fine." Xiao Jiuyue smiled and saw the man lying on the ground, raising the dagger to stab Xiao Jiayuan. Her eyes were slightly cold, and the dagger in her hand stabbed directly into the other's heart.
Blood was vomited out, and the man's body fell limply to the ground.
The dagger in Xiao Jiuyue's hand was stained with blood, and her lake blue skirt was also stained with blood, like red plum blossoms blooming proudly on the branches. In the afterglow of the setting sun, as the man fell to the ground, Jun Lie's figure was tall and slender!
Xiao Jiuyue was a little dazed. She loosened her hand and the dagger in her hand fell to the ground.
Xiao Jiuyue lowered her eyes and saw the arrow feather on the man's back. Her eyes turned and she smiled and said, "Thank you, Third Prince, for saving my life. You are kind and generous, kind-hearted, and brave enough to do what is right. God will surely bring you great blessings and bless you with smooth sailing and happiness in the future."
"Even without me, Miss Xiao will be safe." Jun Lie lowered his eyes and looked at the dagger on the man's chest, bleeding. Even without his arrow, Xiao Jiuyue would be fine.
"How could it be? It was precisely because of the arrival of His Highness and His Highness's blessing that Chief Steward Jin was able to perform beyond his normal capabilities and defeat all these bandits." Xiao Jiuyue said solemnly, as if the person who had just stabbed the other person in the chest with a dagger was not her.
"Jiayuan, quickly thank the Third Prince for saving your life." Xiao Jiuyue said while pulling Xiao Jiayuan.
Xiao Jiayuan opened his eyes, knelt down in front of Jun Lie and said, "Thank you, Third Prince, for saving my life!"
"Sister, are you injured? There's so much blood." Xiao Jiayuan grabbed Xiao Jiuyue's hand, and when he saw the bloodstains on her dress, his voice seemed to be filled with tears.
"It's okay, it's okay. They are the ones who are injured." Xiao Jiuyue squatted down and comforted.
Xiao Jiachen ran over and grabbed Xiao Jiuyue's dress tightly, his little face pale.
"It's okay, look, I'm not hurt at all, right?" Xiao Jiuyue stretched out her hand to tell them that she was not injured. She stretched out her hand to pinch their faces as usual, but as soon as she stretched out her hand, she found that her hands were covered in blood, so she retracted her hand.
"Sister, I must practice martial arts well in the future!" Xiao Jiayuan pursed his lips.
Xiao Jiachen nodded heavily on the side, and the thoughts of the two people were obvious!
"Okay." Xiao Jiuyue smiled brightly. She raised her eyes, and when she saw Jun Lie's complicated expression, her smile froze on her face. Xiao Jiuyue turned from passive to active and asked, "The Xiao family will never forget the Third Prince's life-saving grace. If the Third Prince needs the Xiao family in the future, please feel free to ask."
Xiao Jiuyue looked at him with a knowing smile, "Your Excellency the Third Prince is busy, so we won't delay you."
Evict guests?
Jun Lie looked at her with a half-smile: "It's been a long time since we last met. I shouldn't have seen you, Madam. I should go and pay you a visit."
"The Third Prince is of noble status. If grandmother knew about this, she would definitely be terrified." Xiao Jiuyue stood up and looked at him with a smile.
"The Xiao family has done me a favor. If I come here and don't visit the old lady, wouldn't that be disrespectful?" Jun Lie looked at her. She seemed not to want him to go to the Xiao family.
"No, no." Xiao Jiuyue smiled awkwardly and said, "Your Highness the Third Prince is very busy. Grandmother will definitely understand."
"Miss Xiao, you don't want me to go to the Xiao family?" Jun Lie looked at her with a burning gaze. His blunt words almost made Xiao Jiuyue's fake smile disappear. She smiled awkwardly and said, "How could that be? It's an honor for the Xiao family that the Third Prince can go to the Xiao family. It brings glory to the Xiao family. We couldn't ask for more!"
"It's just that I'm afraid of delaying the Third Prince's important business." Xiao Jiuyue lowered her eyes, her blood-stained hands were sticky, and the scene where Jun Lie just saw her killing someone flashed through her mind: She would never show mercy to those who bullied her, so what even if the Third Prince saw it?
Just go your own way and let others talk. Who cares what the Third Prince thinks?
After Xiao Jiuyue figured it out, she raised her eyes again and looked at Jun Lie with a more sincere look: "Grandmother, if she knew that the Third Prince had come to visit, she would be very happy. Please go down the mountain first, and don't let these bandits dirty your eyes."
