An Qingran saw that they were not coming for the money, so she took a step back. However, someone drew a knife and rushed towards An Qingran. Her fairy-like appearance was really shocking. When Ren Dong saw them rushing towards An Qingran, she immediately stood in front of her: "What are you doing? Is there no law?"
"In this world, no one knows who the king is, let alone the king's laws!" The thin man sighed. The people behind him couldn't wait any longer. An Qingran was holding the child. At this moment, her mind was racing. What should she do?
Obviously, I can't escape.
Who will save me now?
Could she continue to delay?
Which hero are you waiting for to appear?
Just as she was thinking about it, Honeysuckle started to fight with several people. Someone wanted to pull her away as well, but she didn't know where she got the courage from. She had never seen Honeysuckle like this before. She kicked and bit, and scratched the fat man's face, leaving several bloody marks.
An Qingran didn't care about all that, she turned around and ran, kicking down the two people who were trying to stop her. But at this moment, the child in her arms started crying. The baby's crying aroused the curiosity of the group of people, and they surrounded An Qingran, wanting to pull her hands. An Qingran was unable to do anything, so she held the child and kicked left and right. At this moment, she wished that Dongfang Jin was by her side to protect them and their child.
After she kicked two people away, those people looked at her in surprise, probably because they didn't realize she could be so powerful. After all, An Qingran had just given birth, and it was a difficult birth, so her body was still very weak. After just a few kicks, sweat poured out on her forehead, and she staggered and almost fell to the ground. Rendong, who was now disheveled, rushed up, but was chopped on the leg by someone, and fell in front of An Qingran, blood splattered instantly. An Qingran was so scared that she stopped her movements: "Rendong!"
The blood had already dyed her skirt red, but fortunately she was still conscious: "Miss, run..."
An Qingran had no way of running away when faced with the knives and sticks surrounding her.
Of course, it was inevitable that Rendong was held up and touched and pinched. She screamed and cursed. An Qingran, holding the child, had no choice but to do so under the threat of swords. Besides, how could Rendong leave on her own when she was like this?
The two of them were pushed up the mountain road. She had no idea where they were or how far they were from the capital. But as she climbed the mountain, she still calmed herself down and tried her best to remember the routes so that she could find them if she had the chance.
It was getting late.
They finally arrived at the mountain village, which was a small place with a few thatched houses and even women. Seeing that they brought two women and a child, they were all surprised and came forward to watch. An old lady even shouted, "You people are really committing evil. Why did you capture people like this..."
"Don't worry about it. Just live as long as you can. Don't forget, we were the ones who picked you up and gave you food. Otherwise, you would have been killed by the rebels..." one of the bandits shouted.
The old woman sighed, as if she was a little afraid of them, and stepped back, but still glanced at Honeysuckle and the others. Her eyes were full of sympathy, but not of any help.
Honeysuckle was lying on the ground, bleeding still. An Qingran put the baby down and bandaged Honeysuckle, but saw that her calves were all torn open like a wolf's mouth. Honeysuckle almost fainted from the pain. Those people talked about today's gains, thinking that the two of them could not escape at all, and were sharpening their knives, waiting for some important person to come back.
An Qingran didn't have time to think about anything else at this moment. She just looked around to see if there were any herbs. She didn't find any, so she just bandaged the wound and said softly, "Honeysuckle, don't sleep. Hang in there. I will find a way to save you. Don't give up..."
Honeysuckle cried, "Miss, don't worry about this slave... If you have a chance, run away..."
An Qingran nodded: "I will find a way..."
Honeysuckle didn't answer. An Qingran found that she had fainted. She was at a loss for a moment. The baby seemed to sense something and started crying. Those people pulled An Qingran's arm and said, "Young lady, don't be sad. Our village chief will be back soon. Whether you can survive then depends on what you do. And this child..."
"Don't touch my child!" An Qingran hugged the baby tightly, her eyes stern. Those people didn't expect her to have such a majestic look, and they couldn't help but take a step back. However, when they thought about how embarrassing it was to be scared back by a woman holding a child, they couldn't help but step forward and wanted to pull the baby. They didn't mean to kill the child, but they thought the child's crying was really annoying, and the voice was piercing and gave them a headache.
Seeing An Qingran's dignified and inviolable look, they had evil intentions: "You little girl, you don't know how to appreciate my respect, do you think you are the king? Don't think that you are good-looking, no matter how good you are, can you be the crown princess? If you want to blame someone, blame your bad luck, you were not born into an imperial and wealthy family..."
An Qingran gritted his teeth and sneered: "Who is your village leader? I want to see him!"
An Qingran's attitude clearly confused them. Some hesitated but more often they were mocking: "You have a nice face, but don't think too highly of yourself!"
"Yes, with your tone, if someone doesn't know you, they would think you are the princess." Another one came over to join in the fun. The men in that circle had wicked smiles on their faces and kept talking. They were afraid that An Qingran was the most beautiful woman they had ever seen in their lives. For a moment, no one dared to make a move. It was estimated that no one could make a move because the others were just watching.
How to deal with this matter really depends on when the village chief comes back.
The baby was still crying at the top of his lungs. An Qingran felt strange. Did he sense danger? He had never cried so endlessly before. She was anxious while trying to coax him. Maybe he was hungry or thirsty. But in this situation, how could she undress him and feed him? Wouldn't that be courting death?
"Looking at your appearance, you should be honest farmers. How could you end up like this? If you let me go, I will compensate you ten times the price..."
"Look at how you are dressed. What are you going to give us to compensate us? If you want to compensate us, you can do it in a moment..." A man came forward with a lewd smile, "Where is your man? Is he gone? Otherwise, how can you women go on this journey alone?"
An Qingran was so angry that she almost exploded. She knew that if she ran now, she might have a chance, but looking at the unconscious Rendong, she couldn't do that. She was so anxious that she was furious.
I can't be scared by this little bastard in front of me.
"Don't look at the way I'm dressed. You can kidnap me and ask for a ransom, but don't harm our lives. Fortunately, you want me to treat my sister's injuries..." An Qingran proposed a compromise.
"Oh, this young lady is quite resourceful and good at procrastinating. Do you think we are fools? We are sending letters to our deaths. It's so chaotic now. If we are caught by the soldiers, we will die. Brothers, we don't know when the village chief will be back. Let's send this lady to the house first, okay?" When the fat man spoke, his eyebrows were about to fly out, and he kept winking at others, his eyes full of lust...
An Qingran clenched her fists. If it really didn't work, she would use him as a scapegoat.
Seeing the man's long arms reaching out, An Qingran leaned slightly to the side, and his right fist was already gathering strength. The man's smiling face immediately stretched out in front of him, but suddenly disappeared. Looking again, his body was lying several meters away, with one arm missing, and he fell to the ground wailing like a ghost. The man in white that appeared in front of him made An Qingran feel extremely conflicted, feeling both relieved and sad, but in the end he breathed a long sigh of relief, his body softened, and he almost fell down, but fell limp in the arms of the newcomer.
The person who came was not Dongfang Jin. It would have been great if it was Dongfang Jin.
An Qingran sighed in her heart.
All he could hear was Dongfang Run's cold and stern voice above his head: "Everyone, leave no one alive..."
The bandits who were so proud just now were stunned. Where did so many soldiers from Bingjian Forest come from? The man in white looked like an immortal, and he actually hugged the woman. Are they husband and wife?
The fat man wailed that he was dumbfounded and had run into the King of Hell.
But An Qingran said: "Wait, don't kill them all. These people are not born bandits. They are forced by the situation. Some were robbed and some came here for a living. Don't kill them."
The kidnapped robbers never expected that she could speak for them. They were all confused. The thin man spoke weakly: "Fairy, Queen Mother, who are you? If you spare us, we will worship you three incense sticks every morning and evening..."
"Stop talking nonsense! She is..." Dongfang Run stopped here. He didn't want to say that she was the Crown Princess of the current dynasty. He would rather say that she was his wife.
Just then, Ren Dong woke up. She heard their conversation and shouted in pain, "She is the Crown Princess, the Crown Princess of the current dynasty. You are all... blind!"
Those people were so scared that they were dumbfounded. They just kowtowed continuously and didn't even know when they left. Of course, An Qingran didn't know how to deal with these bandits.
When she was going down the mountain, holding the baby in her arms, she was surprised to find that the baby stopped crying the moment Dongfang Run appeared.
"How did you find us?" An Qingran looked at Dongfang Run with a stern face, feeling a little embarrassed, but she did not regret it. If she had the chance, she would certainly escape.
Dongfang Run's face darkened: "Fortunately, I was inspecting the various departments. When I heard the baby crying, I felt something was wrong. These past few days, this area has been restless..."
His voice was low as he walked beside An Qingran. His eyes involuntarily drifted to the child in her arms, but he didn't want to look closely. He just glanced at An Qingran again.
Honeysuckle was carried by someone and walked behind. An Qingran checked on her from time to time. Only when he saw that she woke up did he feel relieved.
"We are going back to that villa, right?" An Qingran knew his fate.
Just one step away.
If it weren't for the robbers...
