I didn't expect that as soon as I came here, I would meet the son of destiny of this small world. How smooth it went!
Su Wanti felt very happy.
She was originally worried that she was a humble peasant girl living in a remote mountain village. How could she get to know the almighty prince?
Isn't this the opportunity?
It seems that as the system's capabilities improve, the timing of each crossing becomes more and more appropriate.
Su Wanti knew that the person who threatened her with a sword was the target, so she naturally couldn't say what she was really thinking just now.
Fortunately, Shang Xingjian appeared when she just turned to leave. As long as she denied it and found a reasonable reason, Shang Xingjian would have to believe it.
"Sir, he's lost too much blood and is dying. I was just about to call for help, but you're holding a sword against my neck. Do you want to kill me? Don't you want to save him at all?"
Faced with the woman's questioning, Shang Xingjian put down his sword with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Miss, you misunderstood me. That's not what I meant..."
"I was just anxious for the moment, afraid that the girl would sit idly by and delay my friend's life."
After he finished speaking, he lowered his eyes slightly and said, "I apologize for any offense. I hope that young lady will not blame me for the sake of the reasons for my actions."
Although Shang Xingjian had never made a secret visit to the people, he knew that he should not reveal his identity in front of strangers.
Su Wanti glanced at him lightly, folding her elbows, "Your friend hasn't reached the gates of death yet, there's still hope. But you should act like you're asking for help..."
She looked at Shang Xingjian coldly.
Shang Xingjian was delighted that An Jing's life could be saved.
He gracefully put away his sword, then clasped his hands together and said sincerely, "Please, young lady, save my friend's life."
He had been reading books of sages since he was a child and knew the preciousness of life. Moreover, An Jing was his close bodyguard and grew up with him. The two were master and servant in name only, but friends in reality, and their friendship was extraordinary.
As long as An Jing's life can be saved, what's wrong with letting this noble prince humble himself and ask for help?
Su Wanti nodded. "Well, since you beg me so much, I will save this friend, but..."
"But what? How much money do you need, or what medicinal herbs do you want? Just tell me, young lady. As long as I can find them, I will get them for you." Shang Xingjian frowned and his voice became more urgent.
Su Wanti's eyes flashed with approval. "Young Master, you're really smart. You understand everything right away. Your friend isn't difficult to treat. I have a good medicine that's most effective for treating external injuries. It can prevent abscesses, promote wound healing, and stop bleeding and replenish blood. It's just a bit expensive..."
Lying on the ground, An Jing, who had lost too much blood, was sometimes conscious and sometimes confused. He could vaguely hear what was happening around him and did not miss any important information.
His pale, dry lips moved slightly, "No matter...how much money...you can...save me..."
The guards around the highly respected eldest prince are naturally not children from ordinary families.
An Jing's mother is the younger sister of the current empress. His father comes from a prominent family and currently works in the Ministry of Revenue, where he is highly trusted by Emperor Ning.
The An family was famous and had a lot of wealth, including countless jewelry, jade, calligraphy, paintings and antiques.
Not to mention houses, land, and other valuables...
As long as it can save his life, his parents will give it no matter how much it costs!
An Jing was eager to survive, but unfortunately he was too weak to make any sound.
Shang Xingjian didn't notice An Jing's slight movement. He looked at Su Wanti seriously and asked, "Miss, just tell me, how much do you want?"
"Ten thousand taels of silver." Su Wanti said in a crisp and clear tone.
Shang Xingjian's brows relaxed, he patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief. He thought it was so expensive, but it was only ten thousand taels of silver.
Only ten thousand taels of silver can save An Jing's life. It's a great deal, a great deal!
"Okay! I'll pay you 12,000 taels of silver, and please treat him immediately!" Shang Xingjian said.
Su Wanti looked him up and down. "Cash is fine, but banknotes are also acceptable."
Shang Xingjian was a prince. He never carried money with him and had never even seen a banknote. How could he possibly hand over money on the spot?
"Miss, I don't have any silver or banknotes on me right now. When I return to Luzhou, I will immediately send someone to deliver the silver to you. The situation is urgent now, so please save the person first."
Behind the bushes, An Jing said silently: "I have... banknotes... in my... shoes..."
But no one heard it.
Su Wanti naturally would not refuse. This person was a subordinate of the target person, not a stranger of unknown origin. She would save him regardless of whether he had money or not.
The temporary offer was made only because the target person's identity was known, and he took the opportunity to ask him for more money to improve the living conditions of the original owner's family.
Su Wanti pretended to be in a dilemma. "What if you run away with the others after I rescue them? I can't watch you all day long. Besides, you two are grown men, and I, a weak woman, can't stop you..."
Shang Xingjian was anxious, "Miss..."
Su Wanti waved her hand, quite magnanimously, "How about this, I'll save the person first, and pay for the medical expenses later. However, I need this jade pendant on your waist as collateral, sir, is that okay?"
Shang Xingjian wore a round white jade pendant around his waist, on which was engraved a four-clawed python with raised eyebrows and glaring eyes, looking majestic.
It is obvious that this jade pendant is not an ordinary item, but to Shang Xingjian, it is just one of his many decorative jade pendants.
He casually took off the jade pendant and placed it in Su Wanti's hand. "Miss, this jade pendant is for you. I hope you can heal my friend immediately."
Su Wanti held up the jade pendant and examined it carefully in the starlight.
Then, she curved her eyes with satisfaction and put the jade pendant into her chest.
