Chapter 473 This man and little girl are really good-looking.
Not far away, a group of people were squatting around the caravan.
One of the women was standing at the front, holding a baby.
Little Su Bao had never seen them before, but at just one glance, the little girl felt a strange sense of familiarity.
Little Su Bao opened her third eye and glanced at them.
The women and children had a faint glow of merit, while the bandits were covered in an extremely dense aura of darkness.
Little Su Bao tugged at her father's clothes.
"Daddy, Su Bao... Su Bao is very capable. Can Su Bao go out and help that aunt?"
Little Su Bao looked at Tang Bugui expectantly, her face saying, "If you don't agree, I'll cry."
Tang Bugui was amused by the little dumpling's appearance.
"Okay, Daddy will carry you down to take a look!" Little Su Bao nodded immediately, her smile widening.
Little Su Bao's eyes lit up instantly, and she looked extremely happy.
With a smile in his eyes, Tang Bugui carried Xiao Su Bao and stepped off the carriage with his long legs.
The bandits over there had already noticed something was wrong here, and if their carriage hadn't looked so ordinary, they would have made their move long ago.
They received a big order today, which is why they haven't made a move yet.
Unexpectedly, these people actually ran into us...
"This man and this little girl are really good-looking!"
When the bandits saw Tang Bugui and Xiao Subao, their eyes lit up instantly.
In the Great Shang Kingdom, there were not only brothels, but also the Nanfeng Pavilion.
Tang Bugui is good-looking, especially because of her health condition, which gives her a sickly beauty look.
Little Su Bao wore a white cloak and had two fluffy rabbit fur pom-poms on her head.
That pretty little face, fair with a rosy glow, was exceptionally adorable.
"Men, seize this father and daughter!" The bandit leader squinted, revealing a sinister smile.
Little Su Bao, with a stern face, was about to speak when she heard the aunt holding the child shout, "You all need to leave quickly! These people are bandits!"
"You slut!" The bandit next to the woman was instantly enraged and raised his hand to slap the woman across the face.
Just then, Xiao Su Bao's face turned black.
"Big Yo-yo, go!"
Little Su Bao pointed at the bandits next to the woman with a fierce yet adorable expression and shouted.
Seeing Xiao Su Bao's appearance, the bandit felt he had met a good find, and his eyes lit up.
"Hahaha, look at this little girl, she thinks she's something..."
As the bandit was speaking, he suddenly felt something flying down from the sky.
Before he could react, a claw scratched his face.
"Watch out, Da Youyou!"
When Xiao Su Bao saw one of the bandits wielding a large knife and slashing at Da Youyou, she immediately tensed up.
Just then, Xiao Youyou appeared out of nowhere and darted over, bumping right into the eyes of the bandit holding the big knife.
"Ah! I'm going to kill you all!" The bandits were instantly enraged.
Tang Bugui raised an eyebrow, showing a growing fondness for the two peregrine falcons.
It looks so small, yet it's so fierce. If it's trained properly, it can protect Xiao Su Bao a bit.
Thinking of something, Tang Bugui lifted his foot and walked towards the bandits.
The bandit also sensed that something was wrong.
Tang Bugui was too calm.
Moreover, there were no footprints in the snow when he walked!
"Brother, don't come any closer. Let's keep to ourselves and part ways here." The bandit leader had become cautious.
He's been in this line of work for so many years; if he didn't have a sharp eye, he'd probably be dead long ago.
These two, father and daughter, are not to be trifled with, especially Tang Bugui, who was far too composed when he approached them.
But I felt a strange pressure.
"I'm afraid that won't work!" Tang Bugui glanced at them indifferently, his gaze falling on the bandit who had previously cursed his daughter.
Almost simultaneously, twenty bodyguards rushed out and wiped out the bandits in the shortest possible time.
It should be noted that these secret guards, even when placed in military camps, are capable of taking on a hundred men single-handedly.
Those who could be pulled out by Tang Bugui could not possibly be weak.
"What exactly are you trying to do?" The leader's face was grim, and he gripped his broadsword tightly in his hand.
If he could, he really didn't want to be Tang Bugui's enemy.
Tang Bugui didn't even glance at him, but instead looked at the little baby in his arms.
Little Su Bao looked at herself, then at the bad guys lying on the ground, and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
In the past, when the mute old woman and I encountered bad people, she always made me take the hit.
Although she was scared, she would always go up, and even if she was beaten black and blue, she never backed down.
The mute old woman said that the only person in this world who can protect you is yourself.
Don't rely on others...
Little Su Bao looked at her father, then at the people around her. She really wanted to tell Grandma the mute that Grandma the mute was wrong!
Su Bao, now Daddy can protect you!
"Daddy, Su Bao loves you so much!"
Little Su Bao nuzzled against Tang Bugui's neck, a sweet smile spreading across her face.
Tang Bugui's smile was so radiant that it outshone the surrounding snowy scenery.
The caravan members nearby looked at each other in disbelief, never expecting that they would have a chance to survive such a disaster.
The woman, holding the child, slowly walked towards Xiao Su Bao and the others.
"Hello, thank you for saving our Qian's Trading Company's caravan!"
The woman bowed to Xiao Su Bao and Tang Bu Gui.
She looked at the little baby in her arms; the baby's big eyes were blinking, making the little one look exceptionally cute.
He was crying, but when he saw Xiao Su Bao, he stopped crying and instead reached out his arms as if he wanted Xiao Su Bao to hug him.
The woman was stunned. She glanced at Xiao Su Bao, then at her own child.
"Does Xiao Yi'er really like this pretty older sister?" The woman looked at her child, her face softening with tenderness.
Little Su Bao shyly hid in Tang Bugui's neck, but couldn't help taking another look at the little boy.
What an adorable appearance...
Tang Bugui remained silent for a long time, unsure of what to say.
If I'm not mistaken, this Qian family business must have been established by Qian's father.
He saw the Qian family's logo on the caravan's wagons.
The carriage that Qian Wangwang and his men brought to the Qian family always had this mark on it.
"Is your father-in-law named Qian Wangwang? Is your husband named Qian Chaoduo?"
Tang Bugui suddenly asked.
Little Su Bao was initially shy, but upon hearing her father's words, she instantly perked up.
Her little head looked around at the woman and child, and finally she found a sense of familiarity.
"Brother Qian Manman, do you know each other?" Xiao Su Bao couldn't help but ask, looking at the woman's face, which resembled Qian Manman's.
Ma was slightly taken aback, but became even more vigilant.
Because of some troubles at the Qian family business, almost everyone in the family who was able to move around was out running around.
Judging from what my husband and the others said, someone must have plotted against them this time.
Could the man and child in front of me also be like that?
"Who exactly are you people?" Ma took a step back, and the child in her arms, seeing that he was getting further and further away from the pretty lady, suddenly burst into tears.
Hearing her younger brother crying, Xiao Su Bao felt a pang of sadness.
"We are from Tangjia Village, people of the Tang family!"
Tang Bugui glanced at the woman and said directly.
He then took out a plaque from Qian's Trading Company that Qian Wangwang had given him.
Ma was taken aback, and a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes.
Few people know about the relationship between Tangjia Village and Qian's Trading Company.
Moreover, this brand is only available to family members.
"I'm sorry, you just saved us, and I still..." Madam Ma's cheeks flushed slightly as she was about to bow to Tang Bugui.
Tang Bugui waved his hand and said, "No need for formalities. You all pack up and we can talk about it later!"
"Yes, thank you!" Mrs. Ma said gratefully.
After Tang Bugui finished speaking, he picked up Xiao Su Bao and was about to return to the carriage.
But suddenly, Xiao Su Bao grabbed her father's clothes on the shoulder and said, "Daddy, I want to go help. Someone on their team is injured!"
Tang Bugui was taken aback, then looked at his daughter.
"Okay!" Tang Bugui turned around again, picked up Xiao Su Bao, and walked towards the convoy.
Many people here were injured, and everyone was busy helping out.
Those bandits had already been taken away by the secret guards.
Little Su Bao looked around, and her eyes suddenly fell on one of the people.
The man's shoulder had been slashed, and he looked extremely miserable.
Little Su Bao frowned and tugged at her father's clothes: "Daddy, that person is a bad person!"
The little dumpling whispered in Tang Bugui's ear, and Ma Shi, who was not far ahead, also heard what the little dumpling said.
She followed Xiao Su Bao's gaze and saw the head steward who had come with her this time!
This head steward has been following me around; he can't be a bad person, right?
But Xiao Su Bao's words made Ma Shi feel a little more nervous.
"Miss Tang, how do you... know if he's good or bad?" Madam Ma looked at Xiao Su Bao with a hint of doubt in her heart.
She instinctively still believed in Xiao Su Bao.
Little Su Bao glanced at Madam Ma, thought for a moment, and then said, "He's a bad person..."
After Xiao Su Bao finished speaking, she hugged Tang Bu Gui tightly.
Ma wanted to say something, but Tang Bugui walked directly to the head steward.
He reached out and grabbed the head steward by the throat.
"Tell me, why did you attract these bandits here?" Tang Bugui also noticed that something was wrong with the head steward.
The head steward's wounds didn't look like they were inflicted by someone else; they seemed like he had injured himself!
Moreover, when Tang Bugui and the others looked over, the head steward, though pretending to be calm, unconsciously touched his wound, as if reminding others that he was injured.
More importantly!
Tang Bugui would not doubt Xiao Su Bao's words in any way.
"Ah... what are you doing? Young Madam, save me!" The head steward instinctively looked at Madam Ma.
Ma's expression changed slightly; she wasn't actually sure what Xiao Su Bao was saying.
She tried to say something, but her son slapped her across the mouth.
Tang Bugui had slowly begun to exert force.
His grip was like a giant pair of pincers, making the head steward feel suffocated.
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you... someone... gave me... money... to... do this!"
Tang Bugui casually threw him on the ground.
The head steward's face turned extremely ugly. He wanted to retort, but when he saw Tang Bugui's eyes, he felt a strange chill.
Adding to what had happened before, he hurriedly begged for mercy, saying, "I didn't want to either, but they gave me too much, and they... cough cough, they even kidnapped my wife and children. I can't disobey them!"
The head steward knelt before Madam Ma, weeping bitterly.
Madam Ma's face turned extremely ugly. She had never imagined that the head steward would betray them!
After all, we've been brothers for ten years!
"You...you...that's enough. I will send you to the authorities!" Although Madam Ma felt a little sad, this head steward was someone she had brought from her maternal home.
now……
"Young lady, please... forgive me this time!"
He kowtowed to Madam Ma, begging for forgiveness. If he were given another chance, he would definitely not choose to betray her!
However, there was no choice at all.
Tang Bugui saw Tang Si's ugly face and threw the person in his hand directly at him.
"Go and deal with him!"
After Tang Bugui finished speaking, he seemed to remember something and added, "Also, be careful one last time, don't get scammed!"
"After all, you can't see into someone's heart!" Although Tang Bugui was talking to Tang Si, Ma Shi felt her face burning and her heart aching.
Ma gave Tang Bugui and Xiao Subao a deep look before dealing with other matters first.
Little Su Bao glanced at her father standing not far away, then ran over to Madam Ma.
The little dumpling looked at Madam Ma and whispered, "My uncle and Brother Man have talked about you!"
Little Su Bao glanced at Madam Ma secretly, and when Madam Ma looked at her, Little Su Bao said, "They said you're very good!"
Mrs. Ma knew that this matter had nothing to do with Xiao Su Bao; she was just upset on her own.
Are you Little Su Bao?
Ma asked Xiao Su Bao.
The little dumpling's eyes lit up instantly, and he looked at Madam Ma with a face full of curiosity.
Ma laughed, and then said, "I've heard my husband and Qian Manman talk about you..."
Thinking about what her son had said, Ma felt incredibly lucky to have met Xiao Su Bao at this time.
If it weren't for the little girl, perhaps something bad would have happened to me and my youngest son!
"Can Su Bao call you Auntie?" Little Su Bao rubbed her hands, a little nervous.
She liked her aunt, who looked very cool and capable.
The little dumpling instinctively felt that the aunt in front of her was a good person.
"Of course, Kai!"
Mrs. Ma squatted down and reached out to pat Xiao Su Bao's head.
The little dumpling grabbed Ma's hand directly.
Before Mrs. Ma could react, the little girl quickly took out the powder from her bag.
You're injured!
Little Su Bao looked at Madam Ma nervously and said...
Mrs. Ma was taken aback. She then looked at her hand and, sure enough, a trickle of blood was flowing out.
Looking at the busy little Su Bao, Ma felt a pang of tenderness in her heart, but then the pain in her arm returned.
She frowned slightly.
Just then, her youngest son reached out and grabbed the gauze from Xiao Su Bao's hand.
"Be good, little brother, don't make a fuss!"
Little Su Bao looked helpless, her pretty brows furrowing slightly.
Seeing this, Ma said to Xiao Su Bao, "Xiao Yi'er likes you very much!"
Little Su Bao's cheeks flushed slightly, and the corners of her lips curled up.
"Xiao Yi'er is great, and Su Bao likes him too!"
After Xiao Su Bao finished speaking, she quickly tied a bow on Ma's arm.
Looking at Xiao Su Bao's familiar and skillful movements, Ma couldn't help but say, "You're only five years old!"
Little Su Bao wiped her hands and then nodded.
The little girl looked at the little brother in front of her, when suddenly, Xiao Yi'er grabbed her hand.
Little Su Bao was a little nervous; those soft little hands looked so nice to touch.
"Can I... touch your little brother?" Little Su Bao asked Ma cautiously.
Mrs. Ma was taken aback, but quickly smiled.
"Of course!"
Little Su Bao happily touched her little brother's face; it felt so good!
Just then, a woman rushed over from behind.
"Big sister, are you alright?"
The woman looked to be in her early twenties and was very beautiful, but she wore a mask on half of her face.
When Xiao Su Bao looked over, she blinked.
"I'm fine!"
Ma looked at the woman in front of her and shook her head slightly.
She seemed to have thought of something, and then took the woman's hand and said to Xiao Su Bao, "This is my younger sister. Everyone calls her Second Mother. If you'd like, you can call her that too!"
Ma Erniang glanced at Xiao Subao, and remembering the news she had just received, immediately clasped her hands in a respectful greeting to Xiao Subao.
"Thank you so much for saving my sister!"
Ma Erniang had actually been following their caravan the whole time, but they were delayed halfway there and couldn't catch up in time.
By the time they arrived, the fighting here was over.
If Tang Bugui and his group hadn't come, these people would probably have been killed by the bandits long ago.
And they certainly can't keep these goods either!
"No need to thank me, Auntie!" the little girl quickly waved her hand, her face showing an embarrassed expression.
Seeing Xiao Su Bao's appearance, Ma Er Niang smiled.
She was a widow; her husband died just a year after their marriage.
Later, her husband's family felt that she was unlucky and sent her back to her parents' home.
The Ma family also looked down on her, so it was her older sister who took her in.
Ma Erniang also had a daughter, but she died young.
When she looked at Xiao Su Bao, she couldn't help but think of her own daughter. If her daughter were still alive, she would probably look just like this!
Ma Erniang was staring at Xiao Subao in a daze when Tang Bugui came over.
Seeing her father approaching, the little girl hurriedly ran over.
"Father!"
Little Su Bao called out to Tang Bugui in a sweet, babyish voice.
Ma Erniang glanced over instinctively, and froze instantly when she saw Tang Bugui.
Isn't this the person who saved me?
"benefactor!"
Ma Erniang rushed in front of Tang Bugui, but dared not get too close.
Tang Bugui took two steps back while holding Xiao Subao, looking at the woman in front of him warily.
"Who are you?" Tang Bugui had no memory of the woman in front of him, and his gaze towards Ma Erniang was even a little cold.
“Three years ago, you passed through a village where a house was on fire, and you rescued my daughter and me…”
Ma Erniang hurriedly said, her eyes filled with gratitude.
Tang Bugui was taken aback, but he quickly remembered what happened back then.
However, so many years have passed that he has almost forgotten about it.
"Mm!" Tang Bugui responded.
Before Ma Erniang could say anything more, Xiao Subao said, "Father, this is Erniang Shen Shen, my aunt's younger sister!"
"If you're all packed, let's set off!"
Tang Bugui glanced at Madam Ma, and gave Ma Erniang a slight nod as a greeting.
Ma Erniang wanted to say something, but her sister pulled her back.
"We've almost packed. We're heading to the capital this time. Would you like to come with us?"
Ma looked at Tang Bugui and asked him a question.
They can now travel alone, but she is still somewhat worried about the bandit incident.
"Um!"
Tang Bugui nodded, which was considered his agreement.
After saying that, Tang Bugui carried Xiao Su Bao back to his carriage.
Little Su Bao waved to the Ma family.
Once they were out of sight, Madam Ma pulled her younger sister into her carriage.
"You...you like Young Master Tang, don't you?"
Ma asked, looking at her younger sister.
Ma Erniang blushed, but quickly said, "Sister, look at my face, how could I like someone else? Besides, I'm not a virgin anymore!"
Ma felt a little sad and wanted to say something, but seeing her sister's appearance, she ultimately remained silent.
"You know that this Young Master Tang is no ordinary person, so you'd better not provoke him!"
Thinking about some things she had learned from her husband, Ma was still somewhat worried about her younger sister.
It's hard not to like an outstanding man, especially one who saved his second sister's life.
Ma Erniang clenched her fists, a hint of self-mockery in her eyes: "Eldest sister, I know, I'm not good enough for him, I won't even think about it!"
"You..." Madam Ma wanted to say something, but Ma Erniang said, "Alright, sister, I still need to check the surrounding area, so I won't go with you!"
After saying that, Ma Erniang jumped off the carriage.
Mrs. Ma held her son, watched her younger sister's retreating figure, and sighed inwardly.
On the other side, Xiao Su Bao looked at her father, her eyes blinking.
Tang Bugui felt somewhat helpless under his daughter's gaze and could only lower his head and ask, "What's wrong?"
"Father, does that second aunt... like you?"
Little Su Bao's senses are too sharp.
The moment Tang Bugui appeared, the second aunt's eyes changed, and she even saw the red string on the second aunt's head trembling incessantly.
Only Father's red rope remained motionless, looking as if he were dead.
Tang Bugui listened to his daughter's words and reached out to flick the little tuft of hair on her head.
"So many people love Daddy, and Daddy has saved so many people!"
Tang Bugui hadn't actually thought of that woman at first.
Even when I remembered it later, I still didn't have any thoughts about it.
In his entire life, he only ever loved Lan Shuyu. As for other women, apart from his family, he would hardly give them a second glance.
“But Daddy, I think Mommy will come back!” Little Su Bao suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, Tang Bugui's body visibly trembled slightly.
He looked at his daughter, a strange look in his eyes.
"I also think your mother will come back!" Tang Bugui said, then closed his eyes, seemingly reminiscing, or perhaps truly falling asleep.
As we approached the capital, the number of villages around us increased significantly.
There were many people selling food along the official road.
"Young Master Tang, my wife asked me to ask if you two would like to come down and rest. There's a tea stall up ahead that sells food."
A servant rode over on horseback and asked.
Xiao Su Bao subconsciously swallowed, then looked up at Tang Bugui.
These past few days I've had barbecue and similar things, and Xiao Su Bao feels like she wants to eat something else.
Tang Bugui seemed to sense the girl's thoughts and said, "Yes, that's fine!"
Little Su Bao looked at her father happily.
The convoy stopped, and Ma sent someone to the tea stall to get them some steamed buns.
The boss also had wontons and noodles, and Ma asked them to make them.
Tang Bugui carried Xiao Su Bao off the carriage.
Tang Si quickly walked to their side.
He was now dressed in a tight-fitting black robe, which made him look more like a young general.
The group walked over to the tea stall, from where they could already see the walls of the imperial city.
Little Su Bao looked at the distant imperial city, seemingly somewhat dazed.
"What's wrong?" Mrs. Ma happened to see the dazed little dumpling and couldn't help but call out.
Little Su Bao snapped out of her daze and looked up at her aunt.
"It's nothing!" Xiao Su Bao shook her head, suppressing the strange emotions in her heart.
Now it seems like a lot of things have changed!
The little girl pursed her lips and stopped talking.
Tang Bugui rubbed Xiao Su Bao's head, and Tang Si ran over with a basket of steamed buns in his arms.
Ma, who was standing nearby, also placed a bowl of wontons in front of Xiao Su Bao.
Little Su Bao's mood instantly improved a lot.
She ate happily, her eyes narrowed.
"These wontons and steamed buns are so delicious!" Little Su Bao ate three bowls of wontons and five big steamed buns.
This was only because they had eaten a lot of barbecue earlier, and Xiao Su Bao wasn't very hungry.
Looking at Xiao Su Bao, Ma couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Just as she was about to say something, a sudden commotion arose around her.
"General Su is back!"
Someone shouted.
Immediately afterwards, many people looked towards the official road.
From afar, one could see figures slowly approaching the capital.
Tang Bugui narrowed his eyes, thinking of someone!
Shouldn't they be at the border?
Why did you suddenly come back?
Tang Bugui didn't say anything, just stood in the crowd holding Xiao Su Bao and watching.
From a distance, you can see an elephant walking at the very front.
A person is sitting on the elephant.
Tang Bugui frowned, as if he had thought of something.
The Su family guarded the west side, beyond which lay the Western Regions.
The Western Regions are most famous for their elephants and camels.
When Xiao Su Bao first saw an elephant, her eyes widened instantly.
The elephant that was originally at the front seemed to sense something, and its originally slow and leisurely movements suddenly became a few degrees faster.
"What's wrong with Sina? She seems really excited!"
The woman on the elephant suddenly spoke, her eyes filled with curiosity.
