But their group consisted of children and women; how could they possibly outrun the strong bandits behind them?
The closer they get, the closer they become. If nothing unexpected happens, they will probably be caught up very soon.
But this unexpected event actually happened.
A whooshing sound rang out behind them, followed by the robber's screams and the sound of him falling to the ground.
Yunyi turned her head to look behind her and saw another group of people appearing on the roadside. Judging from their clothes, they should also be from wealthy families.
This group had a larger entourage. The leader was a boy of about fifteen or sixteen, riding a horse and looking down from a high position. Behind him were servants, all of whom were strong and muscular and carried weapons.
The sound of an arrow cutting through the air just now was the work of this young man. He was able to hit the bandit leader with an arrow from a great distance. His archery skills are truly remarkable.
With their leader shot, the bandits behind them panicked and scattered in all directions. Fortunately, the young man was clever and had his servants surround the bandits beforehand, preventing them from escaping and injuring others.
Yunyi and the others stood at a distance and were not affected by the battle behind them; they were all safe and sound.
After all the robbers were dealt with, Erdun looked at the boy with admiration.
"Wow! You're amazing! Thank you for saving us. What's your name?"
The boy smiled shyly, a stark contrast to his previous clean and efficient demeanor. He touched his head and answered.
"My name is Aguta. Hehehe, I'm not that great, saving you was just a small favor. These robbers were bad people to begin with, so I naturally had to get rid of them when I saw them."
Erdun was currently in the prime of his life admiring this young man, and hearing him speak like this only increased his admiration for him.
"You're so modest. You just took down that bandit leader in a flash. You're so amazing, yet you say you're not."
...
Yunyi and the others' carriage got stuck in a ditch, and because of the bandits' sudden appearance, the carriage hasn't been pulled out yet.
When they got to the carriage, they found that the carriage was still there, but all the horses had run away because of the fight. Now they couldn't get back.
Young Aguta, ever the good Samaritan, spared two horses from his own group.
As an observer, Yun Yi watched coldly and thought that this young man was quite good. If Erdun were not Hailanzhu, perhaps being with this young man would be quite good.
Unfortunately, Yunyi had already made up her mind about what to do long ago, and now it cannot be changed.
As soon as they entered the city, they ran into Huang Taiji, who was looking for someone.
The carriage was marked, which Huang Taiji naturally recognized, but the horse did not seem to belong to the manor, and he did not recognize the people surrounding it.
Just as he was wondering what was going on, he spotted Erdun lifting the curtain, and coincidentally, she also saw Huang Taiji.
"Uncle, what brings you here? Are you here to see Aunt?"
Erdun's cheerful voice came over, confirming to Huang Taiji that the person inside the carriage was indeed his wife and child.
He sent one of his servants over to find out what was going on.
Not long after, a servant returned with a message, and he learned that Yunyi and the others had encountered bandits outside the city.
Huang Taiji felt a chill of fear. Zhe Zhe was a qualified primary consort, very much to his liking, and he also had two sons, Etenyi and Bodun.
He now has five sons in total, and Zhe Zhe alone gave birth to three of them. For Huang Taiji, these three are all very important people to him, so none of them can be harmed.
Erdun is the person he likes now, but he hasn't been able to get her yet, so naturally he doesn't want to see anything happen to her.
So when Huang Taiji looked at Aguta, he felt quite appreciative and grateful. If it weren't for this young man, his family would have been in trouble.
He warmly invited Aguta to his residence to thank the young man, but Aguta politely declined.
Erdun was somewhat disappointed. "Aguta, are you really not coming? You just saved us, and your uncle wanted to thank you."
Aguta felt a flutter in his heart, and when Erdun spoke up to persuade him, he seemed a little hesitant.
Huang Taiji hadn't thought anything of it, but Aguta's actions made him feel a sense of crisis, and the smile on his face turned cold.
"Yes, since Erdun has already said so, you should come over. You saved my family, and I should thank you properly."
"Your Highness, you flatter me. It is only right for me to help those in need. There is no need for such thanks."
Huang Taiji tried to persuade him again, and finally, unable to refuse his earnest request, Aguta agreed to go to Huang Taiji's residence.
Having been secretly observing Huang Taiji's expression, Yunyi noticed a hint of coldness in his eyes and was certain that Huang Taiji was jealous.
Yunyi felt a little amused but couldn't show it. She was holding it in and her face looked a bit strange. Luckily, she kept her head down so no one could see it.
For this reason, Huang Taiji took Aguta out for a chat, but she didn't go with him. She went back to the main courtyard by herself, which made Bodun very worried. He thought that his mother had been frightened today.
After returning home, Yun Yiping dismissed everyone and stayed in her room, secretly laughing to herself. She couldn't help it; she never expected that someone like Huang Taiji would be jealous. It was truly hilarious.
I wonder how he will react when he faces young Aguta. I can't see it myself, but I hope Bodon can tell me when he gets back tonight.
In the evening, after Bodon returned, he indeed told him what had happened in the front yard that day.
It is said that Huang Taiji admired Aguta very much, so he took him directly to the training ground and they sparred for an afternoon.
Hearing his son say this, Yunyi could picture Aguta's appearance. He must have been secretly beaten by Huang Taiji, who used the guise of a friendly sparring match to secretly strike him.
Bodun didn't know what his mother was thinking, but he felt that Aguta was a really good young man. He was strong and kind-hearted. He had just inquired about his family background and found that he was a good match for his cousin, as they were about the same age.
Ertenyi couldn't think that far ahead; all he knew was that his older brother Aguta was amazing, and he wanted to grow up to look like him.
In the following days, Ertenyi and Aguta often made plans to play together, and Bodun also followed along. Moreover, for some other reasons, he even brought Erdun, who was itching to join them, along as well.
And so, the two young people, who were of similar age, spent more and more time together, and their feelings for each other grew stronger.
It wasn't until several months later, when Erdun came to find Yunyi hesitantly, that she learned that the relationship between the two had progressed to the point of discussing marriage.
"You like Aguta and want to marry him?"
It's no wonder Yunyi is a little surprised now. She really didn't expect that after she had been busy for a while, Erdun and Aguta had fallen in love and made a private vow to be together.
