call out!
soon.
Ye Qingcheng then leaped out of the deep pit.
Meanwhile, the two guards who had gone down with Ye Qingcheng had just arrived at the top.
The four of them hadn't even had a chance to sit down and talk.
Then Ye Qingcheng leaped out.
"Dr. Ye the Divine Physician".
The guard named Xiao San looked up at Ye Qingcheng and called out.
At the same time, Ye Qingcheng landed lightly on the ground.
"Dr. Ye, Dr. Ye..."
The remaining guards also greeted Ye Qingcheng.
"kindness!"
Ye Qingcheng nodded to them, then looked at the two guards who had gone down with her and asked with concern, "How are you feeling? Are you alright?"
"Thank you for your concern, Dr. Ye. We are fine and there is nothing seriously wrong."
"Okay! That's good. In that case, let's go back to the capital!"
“Okay.” The guard named Xiao San nodded in response.
However, the other two guards who were waiting asked, "Dr. Ye, have you obtained the Frostbite Snow Grass?"
Ye Qingcheng nodded and said with a smile, "Yes! I got it."
"real?"
"kindness!"
"I never expected this! This barren, icy land actually has such a herb." One of the guards waiting above said with an incredulous look of surprise.
The guard named Xiao San glanced at the other guard and said, "Xiao Er, you don't need to be so surprised. There's something even more amazing. What's at the bottom of the pit?"
What is it?
"The bottom of the pit was covered with green grass, and many vines were also growing on the cliff face."
"This...is this amazing?"
"kindness!"
"That's incredible."
"Alright, let's hurry up and leave! The effects of the Blazing Sun Pills you took are probably wearing off soon, or you'll freeze to death here if we don't leave now."
Well?
Upon hearing this, the group quickly stood up.
The group of five then quickly descended the mountain.
It took less than half an incense stick to burn.
The group then arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Ye Qingcheng paused as she boarded the carriage, looked at the guards, and asked, "By the way, what are your names?"
“In response to Doctor Ye, my name is Xiao San,” Xiao San replied first.
At this moment, Xiao San looked at Ye Qingcheng with utmost respect, his eyes filled with admiration.
After hearing this, Ye Qingcheng nodded to him and then looked at the other three.
"And what about you?"
"My name is Xiaoyi."
"I am Xiao Er."
"I am Xiao Si."
Well?
Ye Qingcheng was speechless after hearing their names. Why not just use "one, two, three, four" instead of "Xiao Yi, Xiao Er, Xiao San, Xiao Si"? Wouldn't that be simpler?
However, she still nodded to the group: "You are all very skilled in martial arts. I have high hopes for you. When we return, I will ask the Emperor for permission to make you my bodyguards. Are you willing?"
"this…"
After hearing this, the group looked at each other.
Seeing this, Ye Qingcheng sighed: "Never mind, I was just saying it."
“No, Doctor Ye, I am willing,” Xiao San replied.
The other three frowned slightly and looked at Xiao San with a puzzled expression.
Xiao San gave them a meaningful look.
Although the group did not understand.
But Xiao Yi still bowed to Ye Qingcheng and said, "We obey the Emperor. We will naturally be willing to do whatever the Emperor commands."
"Alright, then when I get back, I'll ask the Emperor for you."
Also, when we came here, we were chased by many groups of unidentified assassins. On our way back, we expect there will be even more.
"When the time comes, you wait. If you're truly outmatched, don't worry about me. Just escape. Your lives are the most important thing."
“This… Doctor Ye, we can’t do such a thing. Even if we weren’t sent by the Emperor to protect you, we would never abandon you and run away.” The guard named Xiao San was the first to shake his head in disagreement.
“That’s right, Doctor Ye, even if we have to risk our lives, we will protect you.”
"That's right, that's right."
The other three guards echoed this sentiment.
Ye Qingcheng nodded with satisfaction after hearing this.
Actually, what she just said was mainly to test whether these guards were loyal and whether they would risk their lives for their master.
If not, then these people are not worth asking the Emperor for.
"Okay, but you must remember that no matter what the situation, you must first learn to save your life. Only by staying alive can you have a way forward."
"Yes, thank you for your instruction, Dr. Ye."
"Alright! Let's get going!"
After Ye Qingcheng finished speaking, she boarded the carriage.
soon.
The group then turned back towards the capital and continued their journey.
Just as Ye Qingcheng had predicted.
Before they had gone two miles back, more than a dozen men in black descended from the sky and blocked their path.
The dozen or so men in black did not immediately attack them after stopping them.
Instead, the leader of the group shouted, "Leave the man surnamed Ye here, and we might spare your lives."
Upon hearing this, Xiao San snorted coldly, "Outrageous words." Then he roared angrily, "Kill!"
The words fell.
He then leaped into the air, drew his longsword, and pointed it directly at the black-clad man who had led the conversation. He moved with incredible speed.
However, the black man seemed quite disdainful, standing still without any intention of dodging.
