In midsummer, the mountains and forests are lush, the grass is flourishing, the birds are singing among the flowers, the water is clear and the fish are swimming, the rock peaks are strange and varied, and nature is often healing.
Fengjiu's mood suddenly brightened. She carried a small bamboo basket on her back and walked around picking herbs. As it was getting late, she had no plans to go deep into the mountains.
Fortunately, the herbs she wanted were found in the gentle hills, and she quickly dug up half a basket of them, but she was still very tired.
This body hasn't been used for a long time. If it weren't for the benefit of time travel that made her a few years younger, it really wouldn't be able to withstand the tossing and turning.
The system thought she was being hypocritical. It would be much better to let Zhao Huaizhi's guards do this kind of rough work. I don't understand what the young lady is insisting on, but, "Young lady, if you keep working like this with your hands, you will have to exchange them for beauty pills."
It’s dark and rough, will the male protagonist really not dislike it?
"I think so too. Why don't you come? Don't say I didn't give you a chance to show your abilities. If you can't even do this, then you're a complete loser."
Other people's systems are awesome, but hers is crap.
"Oh, my dear, you don't even have any immortal power, how can you embarrass Grape?"
"Then don't call me Grape anymore. Call me Cai Cai instead."
"Oh, no, no, no, grapes are very useful. They have already detected an unexpected situation for you, my lord.
There are seven fast horses running towards this side, my lord, please be careful."
Fengjiu frowned. She was in a very remote place. Could they really be coming for her?
But she was not in a hurry. She sat on a stone pier by the stream and slowly washed her muddy hands.
Seven fast horses rushed towards the stream, with seven young men in neat riding clothes on their backs. The leader was wearing a red robe and holding a silver spear, looking heroic. He was also a young man in bright clothes and riding a fast horse, who was wanton and frivolous.
"Oh, young master, there is a beautiful lady washing clothes by the stream."
"Haha, could it be a fairy from the mountains, who has fallen for my young master?"
"Young Master, come on, take down this little beauty!"
"Ouch..."
“Swoosh~~~”
Waves of wolf howls and whistles came straight towards Fengjiu.
"Haha, don't talk nonsense. It's my fault for disturbing the girl."
The horse rushed into the stream, splashing a large amount of water, soaking Fengjiu and her medicine basket.
Fengjiu closed her eyes, her teeth pointed at her cheeks, her breathing was unstable, and a hint of anger appeared on her face, making her face blush brightly, unique and stunning.
"Girl, I'm sorry..." The rest of the words were stuck in the boy's throat. He hurriedly pulled the reins of the horse and stared blankly at the beauty in front of him.
More beautiful than flowers, clearer than water, softer than wind... The beauty is like a painting, overshadowing the colorful scenery in the mountains and forests.
"Are you blind?!" Fengjiu raised her foot and kicked the horse. The fierce horse was startled and suddenly jumped high, throwing the unsuspecting young man on its back directly off.
"Ouch!" Pei Shaoxuan fell into the water with a splash, his body almost soaked through, looking very miserable.
"How dare you! How dare you attack our young marquis? Are you tired of living?" The supporters behind him drew their swords.
"Hey, it's okay, it's okay. We were wrong first. I'm sorry, girl. Are you okay?"
Pei Shaoxuan's face flushed red, and he seemed a little embarrassed to face the beauty in front of him.
"Hmph." The grudge was avenged on the spot, and Fengjiu picked up her backpack and turned to leave.
"Hey, this woman is pretty hot, she's just a bit pretty..."
"Shut up! Don't be so rude to a girl."
"That's right, you're destined to be single."
"Hey, don't you guys also..."
The following words were still going on, but Fengjiu had already walked away.
Pei Shaoxuan followed closely on horseback, while his followers knew better than to get close.
"Miss, I'm so sorry. I thought I could cross the stream, but something unexpected happened."
He couldn't say he was stunned by the beauty, could he? Pei Shaoxuan scratched his head, his expression very unnatural.
Fengjiu said nothing and continued on her way, neither hurried nor slow.
"Girl, can I help you carry the basket? Where is your home? Can I take you back? Consider it atonement."
Seeing Fengjiu remained silent, Pei Shaoxuan began to chatter, "Miss, are you a doctor? Female doctors are rare. Miss, you are truly a virtuous and kind-hearted person."
"My name is Pei Shaoxuan, what's your name, young lady? Young lady..."
"Shut up!" The noise made Fengjiu's head buzz. It was the first time she met such a noisy man. Was he just talking nonsense?
Pei Shaoxuan was shocked again. He didn't expect that the girl who looked weak and elegant could be so fierce.
"Oh, I just wanted to apologize to the girl."
"No need. Staying away from me is the best apology I can give you." Fengjiu said this coldly and quickened her pace.
How can a man be a good thing? He will only bring disaster to her, just like Zhao Huaizhi.
Pei Shaoxuan was stunned. Was he really that bad? Kyoto's most dazzling young marquis had never expected to find himself despised.
But at this moment, an unexpected event occurred. A sharp arrow whizzed towards Fengjiu from a distance. "Be careful!"
Pei Shaoxuan quickly flew forward, pulled Fengjiu into his arms, and raised his gun to block the flying arrow. With a ding sound, sparks flew everywhere, which showed how powerful the hidden arrow was.
But in fact, the system had already informed Fengjiu that she had clearly moved into the best dodging angle, but was pulled into Pei Shaoxuan's shooting range.
Damn! Did this guy do this on purpose? Could those assassins be his men? Fengjiu pushed the man away and protected herself.
Seeing that the hidden weapons had no effect, the masked assassins all jumped out from behind the bushes.
Seeing that things were going badly, Pei Shaoxuan blew his whistle hurriedly. In a few breaths, the followers hanging behind him rushed over, and the two sides engaged in a quick fight.
For a moment, there were flashes of swords and the scene was extremely intense.
The final winner, of course, was Pei Shaoxuan's side. They slit the throats of all the assassins, killing them instantly.
Of course, some of Pei Shaoxuan's men were injured, but none of them were seriously injured, which reduced Fengjiu's suspicion a little.
"Girl, who are you? Why do those people from the Soul-Breaking Palace want to kill you?" Pei Shaoxuan was very puzzled. If she hadn't met him, the girl would probably be in great danger today.
"Kill me?" Why did he immediately decide that her was his target? Fengjiu was also puzzled.
"Yes, the Soul-Breaking Palace is the most evil assassin organization in the world. They will do anything as long as you pay them.
But there is one thing: they don't mess with officials above the third rank and their families. This is their palace rule, and I am a young marquis."
Pei Shaoxuan was very proud. He thought that if he revealed his identity, Fengjiu would be somewhat surprised or change her attitude towards him.
However, Fengjiu simply nodded and said, "Thank you very much. This is medicine for your injuries."
After saying that, he threw a bottle of special wound medicine to Pei Shaoxuan, the kind that works quickly.
Pei Shaoxuan took it in a hurry. It was a transparent glass bottle. You could clearly see the white medicine powder inside. It looked very special.
He was about to ask how to use it when he looked up and saw the delicate girl dripping a drop of potion on each corpse. Then he saw the corpses gradually emitting black smoke and quickly rotting, finally turning into a pool of blood...
