Tangli woke up in fright.
Bai Muyang is her financial backer now. If something really happens to him, her medicine bag business will be over, and all her initial investment will be wasted, and she will be back to the time before liberation.
Moreover, she had known Bai Muyang for a while, and Bai Muyang was a really nice person. They could be considered friends, and she didn't want anything to happen to her friend.
Early the next morning, at daybreak, Tangli got up and rushed to the town, heading straight to Bai's house.
When Tang Li arrived at the gate of Bai Mansion, he saw a carriage parked there, and the doorman and servants were loading things onto the carriage.
The doorman was a little surprised when he saw Tangli: "Miss Bai, why are you here so early? Are you here to see Master Bai?"
Tang Li nodded: "Is Master Bai here?"
"If you had come a little later, Master Bai would not be here."
"Is this carriage for Master Bai? Where is Master Bai going?"
"It seems like he's going to the neighboring village. I don't know the rest." The doorman scratched his hair and smiled foolishly.
Tang Li chatted with the doorman for a while, and then Bai Muyang came out.
Bai Muyang was wrapped in a thick fox fur coat, with only his face exposed. His complexion was as white as jade, and his eyes shone like obsidian. He was a little surprised when he saw Tang Li.
Tangli came just yesterday and came again today. Bai Muyang couldn't help but wonder if something happened?
He thought so and asked directly: "Miss Tang, what happened?"
Tang Li actually hadn't figured out how to tell Bai Muyang. She couldn't just say that she had a dream and Bai Muyang died in the dream, right?
Having said that, it’s good enough that Bai Muyang doesn’t feel like he’s cursing him.
Even if Bai Muyang believed in himself, he couldn't give up his journey just because of a dream, right?
Moreover, I cannot tell others about my ability to predict dreams. If bad people find out, I might be caught and dissected.
Tangli's mind was in turmoil for a moment.
After a moment, Tang Li spoke up, "Master Bai, there's something going on. Yesterday, when I returned to the village, I heard some villagers say that a lot of bandits have been coming down the mountain lately, targeting wealthy merchants. They don't dare come to town, so they're just watching from outside, hoping to rob any wealthy merchants passing by. That made me think of you, Master Bai. Master Bai, you must be careful when you go out, and bring more people with you."
Bai Muyang's expression changed slightly: "You came to me just to tell me this?"
"Yes, Mr. Bai, your carriage is very conspicuous. You can tell at a glance that you are a rich man. You must be careful when you go out and bring more people with you!" Tang Li kept repeating this sentence, thinking that if he said it a few more times, Bai Muyang might take it seriously.
Bai Muyang looked at the girl who followed him like a little tail, repeating the same sentence over and over again, and couldn't help but laugh, and felt warm in his heart. He didn't expect that this girl actually cared about him so much.
His family members wished he were dead, but a girl he met by chance cared about him so much.
This little bit of kindness in this world made him somewhat greedy for this world.
Bai Muyang's voice was much gentler: "Well, then I'll bring more people, don't worry."
Bai Muyang originally planned to take two people out, but because of her nagging, he brought more than a dozen guards.
Watching Bai Muyang's carriage go away, Tang Li still felt a little uneasy. She had done everything she could and could only pray that what happened in her dream would never happen.
…
The carriage was shaking as it moved. Bai Muyang sat in it and vomited several times. His face was as pale as paper.
"I hope this doctor can really treat your illness and don't make you travel all the way from the capital in vain."
The person driving the carriage was a servant who had followed Bai Muyang for more than ten years. In addition to the master-servant relationship, the two also had a layer of family affection.
Bai Muyang said calmly, "Uncle Fu, fate is determined by heaven. I have done my best. If heaven doesn't want me to live anymore, there is nothing I can do."
Uncle Fu felt sad when he heard this. He had watched the young master grow up. Although he was young, he was plagued by illness and he didn't know how long he could live...
Uncle Fu changed the subject: "The little girl said there were robbers, but the outside of this town seems quite peaceful..."
When talking about the little girl, a smile appeared on Bai Muyang's face.
"She's just worrying about nothing."
"She also cares about you, and there's no harm in being cautious." Uncle Fu said with a smile.
The car left the town and went further and further away.
Suddenly, outside the carriage, Uncle Fu's voice was filled with fear, "Master, please stay in the carriage and don't come out!"
Bai Muyang soon heard the sound of fighting coming from outside the carriage.
He lifted the curtain and looked outside, and saw a group of people fighting with his guards. There were more than a dozen people in the group, each with a ferocious face and holding a big knife in his hand, and they were very vicious!
Did we really encounter robbers?!
Bai Muyang sat in the carriage, his back pressed against it. The sounds of fighting, the clashing of weapons, and the wails of pain mixed in...
The bandits were too ferocious and their own men fell one by one.
Bai Muyang's heart gradually sank. He looked calm, holding a dagger in his hand. Listening to the footsteps outside, someone was walking towards the carriage.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and an extremely tall robber stood there, slashing at Bai Muyang with ferocious eyes. Bai Muyang stabbed the man with a dagger.
The huge difference in physical strength determined the outcome. Before Bai Muyang could touch the robber, the big knife had already landed on Bai Muyang's forehead!
Warm blood sprayed on Bai Muyang's face.
That blood was not Bai Muyang's, but that of the robber!
The spear pierced the robber's chest.
The next moment, the unusually strong robber was kicked out like a rag.
The young man was dressed in red, holding a red tasseled spear, with gorgeous eyebrows and eyes, and a hint of cruelty. It was Huo Ju.
This little bully from Shangjing was very fierce. With four or five guards, he knocked down the bandits one by one and turned the defeat around in an instant.
"Don't kill them, tie them all up." Bai Muyang said.
Huo Ju restrained his murderous intent and tied up the robbers.
"Help them treat their wounds," Bai Muyang pointed at his servants.
Huo Ju resigned himself to his fate and simply treated the wounds of Bai Muyang's men before walking up to Bai Muyang.
"I told you to sneak out without me. If I had come a step later, you would have met your end!" Huo Ju said with his arms folded.
Bai Muyang smiled slightly: "Thanks, brother."
Huo Ju grunted twice, helped Bai Muyang up and helped him into the carriage.
"Uncle Fu, you get on the carriage too, I'll drive." Huo Ju said as he threw the bruised and battered Uncle Fu into the carriage.
Huo Ju took Bai Muyang to the county, placed Bai Muyang in a clinic, and was then sent away by Bai Muyang to deal with the funeral. Bai Muyang's people could be saved, and the robbers should be arrested.
Bai Muyang was lying in the clinic with mixed feelings.
Huo Ju was right. If he had been a step later, he would have died.
In fact, if he hadn't brought those guards, he would never have waited for Huo Ju to show up.
If it weren't for the little girl's words...
In fact, besides Huo Ju, the little girl also saved him.
