Since Shen Yuanzhou ran away from home and ventured into the martial arts world, he rarely returned home, and even if he did, he could not stay for too long.
This time he went home to visit his relatives and separated from Ji Liuwen. Not long after, he received a mission in the capital and headed to Qingyu City.
"Stop, don't run!"
"Stop! If you run again, I'll sell you to the cheapest brothel."
"You bitch, I'll catch you and skin you alive!"
On the official road, a young girl was stumbling forward, and several men were chasing her from behind, saying threatening words and holding weapons in their hands.
Shen Yuanzhou was resting in the woods beside the official road. When he heard the noise, he stood up and looked over.
Meng Ning's eyes lit up when he saw him, and when he looked at his clothes, joy instantly surged in his chest.
"Sir, help me!"
Meng Ning ran towards Shen Yuanzhou, accidentally tripped over a stone and fell to the ground. Several men behind her instantly approached and surrounded the girl.
“Running!”
A burly man with a face full of flesh reached out and slapped her fair and tender face. The force was not strong, but red marks appeared on her face.
"If it weren't for your face, I would have killed you for running away!"
Tears welled up in Meng Ning's eyes. "Who asked you to kidnap me?"
"No one, I just think you are beautiful, and I want to take you back to be my wife."
Meng Ning sat up and shrank back. She knew that it must have been Meng Fei'er who had done it, but she had no evidence, and the situation was very delicate.
"Take it back."
Shen Yuanzhou frowned and thought for a moment, then decided to walk over. "Hey, it's broad daylight today, how dare you guys bully a weak woman?"
Biao Er turned around and looked at Shen Yuanzhou with a fierce look. Judging from his clothes and accessories, he knew that he was a wandering man.
"Don't mind your own business, just get out of the way."
Everyone who travels around the world has some abilities, and he doesn't want to offend them.
Shen Yuanzhou nodded, "Okay, then the girl will come with me."
Biao Er frowned, wanting to give him some face, but unexpectedly this man was ignorant and winked at several younger brothers beside him, who surrounded him in an instant.
Shen Yuanzhou tutted his words, "I heard that the bandits on this mountain are very powerful, so I'll let this young master come and meet them today."
Biao Er grabbed Meng Ning from the ground and said, "Brothers, don't be polite. Kill all these nosy guys."
Seeing several big men coming over, Shen Yuanzhou instantly put away the smile on his face. His sister said that it’s okay to be careless, but never underestimate the enemy.
You must know that a thousand-mile dike can be destroyed by an ant hole, and small mistakes are often the most fatal.
In less than a cup of tea, except for Biao Er, all the others fell to the ground, crying and groaning.
Shen Yuanzhou did not stop and attacked Biao Er with a sword. Biao Er also had a hostage in his hand and was no match for him. Seeing a sword coming towards his throat, at the critical moment, he pulled Meng Ning to the side to block the knife.
Shen Yuanzhou turned the direction of his sword and quickly drew out the dagger from his waist with his right hand. With a "swish", the sound of the sharp blade entering the flesh was heard.
Shen Yuanzhou threw away the sword in his hand and pulled Meng Ning over. Biao Er fell to the ground unconscious.
This move used some internal energy, and the remaining internal energy knocked him unconscious.
Meng Ning had tears in his eyes and tear marks on his face. Seeing that no one could beat this young man, he lost his strength and fell to the ground.
"Are you okay?"
Meng Mengning raised her head and looked against the sunlight. She didn't see his facial features, but only saw the smile on the corner of his mouth, which cleared away the gloom in her heart today.
Shen Yuanzhou was also stunned. This girl is, quite, pretty!
"Thank you, sir. I'm fine."
A blush flashed across Meng Ning's cheeks. She quickly lowered her head, her hand unconsciously touching her right ankle.
Shen Yuanzhou looked over and asked, "Miss, is your foot injured?"
Meng Ning nodded, feeling a little embarrassed to ask for a ride home.
"I fell down in that situation just now, so I think I sprained my ankle."
"Excuse me."
Shen Yuanzhou's other ankles twisted a few times and were quickly reset.
"Stand up and try."
The young man squatted in front of him, his beautiful facial features fully displayed, and the most beautiful thing about him were his eyes, which were as bright as the sun.
A broad hand was stretched out in front of him, and Meng Ning gently placed his hand on it.
"Thank you, sir."
I stood up and tried to walk a few steps, and was surprised to find that my feet didn't hurt anymore.
"Young Master is really amazing!"
Facing the girl's bright eyes, Shen Yuanzhou felt a little embarrassed, "I'm glad that nothing happened to the girl. How do you want to deal with these people?"
The men on the ground were in so much pain that they couldn't stand up, and they were still lying on the ground groaning.
Meng Ning thought for a moment and said, "Sir, I would like to send them to the authorities, is that okay?"
"OK."
Shen Yuanzhou took the rope and quickly tied the people together, then looked at Meng Ning.
"Miss Meng, this road is difficult to travel on. It will take some time before we get to the city. You ride the horse, and I'll lead the others behind."
Meng Ning quickly declined, "That's inappropriate. You saved my daughter, and you're an adult. How can I steal your mount?"
Shen Yuanzhou scratched his head and said, "Let's put everything else aside for now. This place is not far from the bandit camp and it's not very safe. Let's go into the city first."
Upon hearing this, Meng Ning nodded in agreement immediately. He couldn't let himself be caught by the bandits again, but he couldn't guarantee that he would be so lucky as to have another hero to save him.
"Then I'll trouble you, sir."
Huoluo pulled the reins, stepped on the stirrup, and jumped onto the horse neatly.
Shen Yuanzhou was stunned to see such a delicate and weak person getting on the horse so smoothly. Soon, he came back to his senses when he saw the girl in front of him with a red face.
