Thinking of this, the butcher gang became fierce. Just as they were about to gather their strength and kill everyone, they suddenly heard a loud shout outside the courtyard gate: "Go in, don't let a single bandit go."
The momentum that the Dog-Slaughtering Gang had just gathered was immediately lost. When they turned around, they saw a group of people who looked like security guards rushing in, about eighty or ninety people, led by a handsome young man. He was probably shocked by the scene when he first came in, and he just stood there motionless. It was not known if it was him who was shouting just now, and looking at his silly look now, it was probably not him. So who was the leader?
Duan Erye looked at the "battle" in the courtyard in a daze. To be specific, he looked at the woman who was "unstoppable" among the bandits in a daze and fear. The woman was none other than the sister-in-law who could turn stones into gold, whom he was both afraid of and liked. Although he had known that Su Nuannuan was fierce, the fact that she was so fierce and could move freely among a large group of bandits was beyond Duan Erye's cognition.
Just as he was at a loss, he saw a figure flying past him. Duan Erye thought he was dazzled, but the next moment, he saw that the bandits who were already in a weak position suddenly fell down in a large number, especially around Su Nuannuan, who was instantly cleared. He looked carefully: Oh my god, why is the boss here? Isn't he guarding the prince in the East Palace? Could he abandon the prince when he heard that his wife was in trouble? No matter how favored he is, he is still a minister of Daxia. He can't do such a selfish and shameless thing, right?
"Duan Tingxuan?"
Su Nuannuan was shocked and stopped. She was a woman after all, and she was panting with exhaustion. She didn't see who came to rescue her because it was just a shadow. However, she knew very clearly that it was Duan Tingxuan, who was usually so lively and unreliable. But he was actually the most reliable and powerful young marquis, her nominal husband.
Although Duan Tingxuan was usually lazy, greedy, and loud, he was silent at the critical moment. He just fought and killed without saying a word. He took into consideration that this was a Buddhist holy land and blood was not allowed to be seen. He also didn't want Su Nuannuan to see his hands covered in blood. So the young marquis didn't use a sword, but a folding fan in his hand, which was invincible when it was opened and closed.
Duan Tingxuan stopped until there was no more standing bandits in the yard. He turned around and looked at his wife who was still standing there with a rolling pin in her hand. Judging from her posture, she was really majestic and heroic. She was definitely a heroine who was no less brave than a man. However, a closer look revealed Su Nuannuan's true state.
A warm feeling surged in the young marquis' heart. The heart that had been cold due to fear since he heard the news finally came back to life. He walked to Su Nuannuan in two or three steps. Regardless of so many people watching, he hugged his beloved wife in his arms and said in a trembling voice: "Nuannuan. You...you scared me to death."
"You're the one who scared me to death." Su Nuannuan muttered absentmindedly, obviously still in some kind of shock and hadn't recovered yet.
"It's okay, it's okay. We are not afraid. When your husband comes, he will never let you get hurt again." Duan Tingxuan thought his wife was frightened and incoherent, so he kept stroking Su Nuannuan's back to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
"I'm not scared. If I were, would I still be able to handle this?" Through her husband's shoulder, the grandmother saw the servants staring in amazement, the monks bowing their heads and chanting Buddha's name, and Master Duan, who had regained consciousness, looked around and coughed heavily. Even with his thick skin as a foodie, he couldn't stand it anymore and pushed Duan Tingxuan away desperately: "Why are you here? How is the prince?"
"The prince is fine." Duan Tingxuan frowned, "I'll tell you the details later. But Nuannuan, how are you? Are you injured? Let me take a look."
Su Nuannuan was extremely nervous before, and she was only thinking about whether she could kill the two gangsters. At the very least, she wanted to make sure that this time-travel journey would not end so hastily and miserably. Therefore, she did not feel the pain in her body. Only when Duan Tingxuan reminded her of this did she feel a burning sensation in her back and arms.
Sure enough, when Duan Tingxuan saw it, his face immediately became gloomy as if water was about to drip out. Several red marks on Su Nuannuan's back and arms were already swollen. These were probably caused by the bandits hitting her with the back of their knives. He couldn't imagine what would have happened if the other party hadn't wanted to capture Su Nuannuan alive and used a knife... When he thought of this, the fear almost suffocated him.
"Amitabha, Master Duan, don't worry. Madam's injury is not serious. I will go get some ointment for treating injuries. Apply it on her and she will be back to normal in two days."
The abbot had no martial arts skills, but just now in order to protect the servants of Anping Marquis' Mansion, he rushed out and fought with the bandits. Fortunately, he practiced Buddhism diligently and exercised every day. Although he was injured, he did not lose his life. Seeing that Duan Tingxuan was worried about Su Nuannuan's injury, he hurriedly limped over to comfort the young marquis.
"Thank you very much, Master." Duan Tingxuan bowed and thanked him quickly. He was not an unreasonable person. Although the incident happened in Pushan Temple, if it weren't for the monks who risked their lives to protect him, his whole family would be trapped here. By then, even if his willpower was ten thousand times stronger than Mount Tai, he would still go crazy.
He looked around and saw that the maids in the mansion were all staring at him in shock. They were still shocked and confused. Duan Tingxuan rushed in and started killing people. With his speed, who else could see clearly except Duan Tingye who hated him and Su Nuannuan who was in tune with him? He felt as if he was helped by God. All of a sudden, all the murderers fell down. Then the young marquis seemed to appear out of thin air. How could he not be shocked? How could he not be confused?
However, after Duan Tingxuan's look, everyone immediately shuddered, and after coming to their senses, they all knelt down. Some of them started crying because they were just now afraid of what would happen, while many others could barely keep calm and call out "Prince", and began to think deeply about whether they could get some credit in this major event, or whether they would be punished.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Duan Tingxuan say calmly: "Everyone has worked hard. Fortunately, your lives are safe. Otherwise, I would not be able to explain to your families."
This one sentence instantly warmed the servants' hearts as if they were in a furnace. Suddenly, Duan Tingxuan raised his head and said to Duan Tingye at the door: "Second brother, let our people tie up all these thugs. The Imperial Guards will be here soon. You can hand them over to them when the time comes."
"Oh." Duan Tingye came back to his senses, thinking, why do you want me to hand over? This matter is not my responsibility. I just asked my grandmother to send me here to rescue people, okay? You never do these official things. You are a court official. What are you doing now if you don't do your job?
