"Boss, are we really going to bury her? Can't we just..."
"The higher-ups said that if her man can't find her, then she belongs to us!"
"What if we find it?"
"Then we'll die..."
"Huh? What should we do then?"
"Of course, we'll create obstacles for him, so he can't find this little beauty!"
"In my opinion, we should strip her clothes off and throw them in another direction. By the time they've wasted time and think they can't find her, we'll have already taken her away..."
"Don't casually mention things like stripping someone's clothes, she's a princess!"
"What's wrong with her, Princess? We're out in the middle of nowhere, who would know she's a princess?"
"Stop talking, let's stop the bleeding first. If we don't stop the bleeding, she'll die..."
"Go and apply the medicine to her." The leader of the group ordered the only female member to apply the medicine to Qing'er.
As she prepared to apply the medicine to Qing'er, those big men were still staring at her intently.
"You all turn around, aren't you afraid of getting styes?"
"To die beneath the peony blossoms is to die a romantic death; what's a sty? If you ask me, I'll just apply the medicine for her!"
Just as he was about to act, his leader dragged him away.
"Turn around, all of you!" Once the leader gave the order, they dared not act recklessly anymore!
The woman untied Qing'er's belt and saw the wound on Qing'er's lower abdomen; it looked painful to her.
Qing'er, who was unconscious, slowly woke up and saw the woman treating her wounds. She was about to speak when the woman gestured for her not to.
Qing'er then saw a group of men standing to the side. Seeing so many tall men around her, Qing'er instinctively began to panic. At this moment, the woman applied medicine to Qing'er's wound, and Qing'er couldn't help but cry out. The woman finally finished treating the wound and helped Qing'er put on her clothes.
The men, however, had long been itching to turn back and look at Qing'er.
The woman felt disgusted when she saw one or two of the men aroused, but there was nothing she could do in this situation. The only thing she could do was try to buy time for the injured girl.
"I've given her basic first aid, but without medication, her life could be in danger. So please bear with it. If you can't hold back now, she might die, ruining the plan, and then we'll all die!"
They value their lives more than playing around with women, so they restrained themselves.
"Alright, enough talk, hurry up and bury her!"
The weak Qing'er vaguely sensed that two men lifted her up and placed her in a box. Her eyes were blurry, and she couldn't see what it was. Then, she disappeared from the light of day.
"Where is this, Xiao Jian..."
Xiao Jian and the others, who were rushing towards them, were naturally unaware of Qing'er's current situation.
"Luckily I didn't forget, I managed to pull a piece off her pants..."
"What a coincidence, I just took out her handkerchief..."
"I'll go and put this piece of fabric from his pants on the road that person is bound to take!"
"Then I'll place it on the river they're going to cross..."
"Then you'd better time it right. If you release it too early, the person won't be able to see it..."
-------------------------------------
"Yongqi, where do you think they took Qing'er?"
“Qing’er grew up in the palace since childhood, how can she endure this…”
Although Xiao Jian and the others saw Qing'er's handkerchief and the piece of cloth on her pants, Xiao Jian was not fooled.
"Brother, which way should we go now?"
Xiao Jian did not answer, but resolutely walked up the mountain.
The mountain he walked towards was the one where Qing'er was buried.
Qing'er frantically pounded on the box trapping her, but to no avail. "(Xiao Jian, where are you?)"
Qing'er's intense panic and fear were felt by Xiao Jian, who was standing very close. "Qing'er is here, she must be here..."
Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi watched as the dashing swordsman with the flute took out his ancestral sword and dug a hole in the ground. "Brother, what are you doing..."
"Qing'er is down there, she's still waiting for me down there..."
"This..." Xiao Yanzi and Yongqi were both somewhat incredulous, but they still got to work and helped Xiao Jian dig, while the rest of the people kept watch around the perimeter.
Finally, Xiao Jian dug Qing'er out of the coffin underground.
"Qing'er, wake up..." Xiao Jian, who knew medicine, saw that Qing'er was unconscious with pale lips, bloodstains on her stomach soaking her clothes, and her torn pants. He didn't know what to do for a moment.
Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi went forward to examine Qing'er. Xiaoyanzi comforted her, "Brother, don't worry, take Qing'er back and rest her well, she will wake up."
While Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi were busy taking care of Xiaojian and Qing'er, the Fu brothers caught the person who had taken Qing'er away and buried her underground.
-------------------------------------
When Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi escorted Xiao Jian and Qing'er back to the Xiao residence and confirmed that Qing'er was indeed safe, everyone's hearts finally settled down.
It was already the second day.
"Brother, I'll go..." Xiao Yanzi originally wanted to say that Xiao Jian should stay here to take care of Qing'er while she went to interrogate those people.
But then she saw Xiao Jian looking at her with pleading eyes, "Little Swallow, please take good care of Qing'er here for me!"
"This matter arose because of me, and it's my responsibility to resolve it!"
Watching Xiao Jian's departing figure, Xiao Yanzi couldn't help but call out, "Brother, calm down!"
Xiao Jian sneered, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"
He's not stupid! He still needs to protect Qing'er and their child, so he won't do anything foolish!
In the courtyard of the Xiao residence, a dozen or so men were tied up and forced to kneel on the ground.
The most dishonest one was naturally a woman, the same ambitious and restless woman from before!
"Let me go!"
When Xiao Jian came out, he heard a woman's voice. After he walked over and saw the woman's face clearly, he laughed sarcastically, "I was wondering who in Dali would dare to lay a hand on my people? It was you!"
"So what if it's me? If it weren't for you, how could Duan Jinghui have become like this?"
"When your father was beheaded, why weren't you among them?"
"If you had died earlier, he and I would have been living a good life!"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
"Back then, I was out of my mind and hurt Xiao Jian, which is why my master expelled me from the sect!"
"I don't resent my master, nor do I hate Xiao Jian. My only regret is that I lost my best brother because of a momentary lapse in judgment!"
"Now, because of you, Xiao Jian's wife almost lost her life. How many lives do you have to pay for it?"
"Xiao Jian, although this woman did something wrong, she also did a lot for me. So, if you want her to pay the price, punish me too. If I had kept an eye on her, she wouldn't have done such a wrong thing!"
Although he said that he would no longer care about her if she offended Xiao Jian and the others, she had been by his side all these years, and she had saved him every time he was in danger, so he couldn't abandon her!
If we can't escape punishment, then we'll suffer alongside her!
Xiao Jian sneered, then had someone bring out a booklet and handed it to Duan Jinghui, saying, "Read this before you talk to me!"
