Chapter 468, Jinling Guard
Hearing Daohua's words, Xiao Yeyang was a little amused and helpless. Just as he was about to say something, he felt the hand holding Daohua was a little wet. He looked down and found that his hand was covered in blood. He immediately asked anxiously, "Are you hurt?"
Daohua was still a little dazed. Her nerves had been highly tense these days. Because of the space, she was not too afraid of the man in black, but she was scared to death by Xiao Yeyang just now.
Xiao Yeyang carefully helped Daohua sit down, then quickly took out a handkerchief to bandage her. As he bandaged her, he asked, "Apart from your arm, are there any other injuries?"
Seeing Daohua standing there in a daze without saying anything, Xiao Yeyang became extremely anxious. He touched her hands and felt that they were very cold. He quickly took off his cloak and put it on her. After saying something to the secret guard, he picked her up horizontally and walked quickly out of the cave.
The rice flowers were extremely quiet along the way. When he passed by the stone cave where a fight broke out between villagers and men in black, he finally came to his senses when he saw Yongwang squatting at the entrance of the cave with his head in his hands.
Xiao Yeyang felt his shirt tighten on his chest. He looked down and saw Daohua looking at him anxiously, with a hint of fear in her eyes. His heart softened and he asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Daohua looked at the villagers in the cave and said, "Xiao Yeyang, many of the villagers here were captured. Please don't make things difficult for them."
Xiao Yeyang nodded: "As long as they don't do anything reckless, my people won't touch them."
Daohua breathed a sigh of relief, then thought of something and hurriedly said, "Xiao Yeyang, quickly send someone to look for it. There is a passage leading to the outside. Those men in black are trying to transport the weapons out. Don't let them escape."
Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang's face suddenly became serious. He glanced at Defu who was following closely behind him and said, "Go tell An Yi to lead people to look for him personally."
Defu nodded, turned around and left quickly.
As soon as the man left, Daohua spoke again: "Xiao Yeyang, I'm fine. Put me down and go do your thing."
Xiao Yeyang glanced at the person in his arms. The former brightness and vitality were gone from his pale face. Instead, fatigue and lingering fear replaced it. He frowned and said, "You're still stubborn. If I put you down now, can you stand steadily?"
Daohua was silent. At this moment, her hands and feet were weak. All her strength was almost exhausted when she was fighting with the man in black. Then she was frightened by Xiao Yeyang and was completely paralyzed.
Seeing her listless look, Xiao Yeyang softened his voice: "Don't worry, you've already taken down most of the people. I don't need to deal with the rest myself."
After hearing what he said, Daohua didn't say anything more and let him carry her out of the stone tomb.
After leaving the stone tomb, he changed to carrying it on his back.
Afterwards, the secret guards walked in front with torches, and Xiao Yeyang walked carefully behind with Daohua on his back.
The mountain road was difficult to walk on, and it was night. Xiao Yeyang was highly focused, fearing that the person on his back would fall. Before long, a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.
Daohua saw it, wiped the sweat off his face with her sleeve, and then couldn't help asking, "Am I very heavy?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang's expression relaxed. He was in the mood to talk about this. He must have recovered from the shock. He smiled and asked, "What do you think?"
Daohua curled her lips: "I'm asking you?"
Xiao Yeyang smiled and shook the rice flowers: "I think it's okay!"
"What do you mean okay? Heavy?"
"I want to go!"
"I definitely feel like I'm not heavy."
"Then it's not heavy."
"Tsk, you're such a clueless person."
"Isn't that heavy?"
"I don't want to bother with you."
"Just lie down and relax. I can carry two more of you."
When Xiao Yeyang carried Daohua down the mountain, Daohua was already drowsy.
At this time, Yan Wentao had already taken control of the village with his men, and the men in black were either killed or captured. Seeing the rice flowers on Xiao Yeyang's back, he hurried over.
"What happened to Rice Flower?"
Xiao Yeyang made a gesture to keep quiet, then whispered, "She's injured. Hurry and find a clean room so we can apply medicine to her."
Yan Wentao immediately said, "I know you might not be able to leave tonight. Dexi has already prepared a room for you. Let's go there!"
Xiao Yeyang nodded, and then followed Yan Wentao into the house.
“Be careful!”
Daohua was put on the bed by Xiao Yeyang and woke up immediately. When she saw Yan Wentao, she immediately smiled: "Third brother, you are here too!"
Yan Wentao looked at Daohua and saw that her hair was disheveled and her arm was injured. He was immediately distressed: "Yes, the third brother is here, and the fourth brother is also outside. You don't have to be afraid anymore."
Daohua smiled and nodded, raised her hand to sit up, but pulled the wound and took a breath.
Xiao Yeyang quickly helped the man up: "Don't move, don't you know you are injured? Besides the wound on your arm, do you have any other injuries?"
Daohua shook her head: "No more."
Xiao Yeyang breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll ask someone to boil some water and apply the medicine to you right away."
At this time, a secret guard came to report that a disguised killer was found among the villagers.
Xiao Yeyang listened and looked at Yan Wentao. "Although we arrived unexpectedly, the assassins here are well-trained. There's no guarantee someone has infiltrated the villagers. Take your men and interrogate everyone in the village to prevent any accidents. Nothing in this village can be leaked to the outside world before reporting to Uncle Huang."
There is actually a large iron mine in this village, and Prince Duan's people are secretly smelting iron and casting weapons here. This is a huge matter.
Yan Wentao knew the seriousness of the matter and nodded, but was somewhat reluctant to leave.
Seeing Yan Wentao looking at the rice flowers, Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm watching over the rice flowers."
Yan Wentao's face stiffened slightly, and he thought to himself, "It's because of you that I'm worried." "How about I go to the village and ask a woman to come and look after the rice flowers?"
Xiao Yeyang glanced at Yan Wentao, thinking, "You little brat, you don't believe me." However, he didn't refuse: "Okay, go ahead and find her." Daohua was a girl, so it was indeed inconvenient for him to do some things.
However, Daohua refused: "Third brother, there is no need to ask anyone to come over. I can take care of myself. You should go back to your work."
Yan Wentao was choked and ignored Daohua's words. He turned around and left the house. Anyway, he had to find a woman to come over.
As soon as the others left, Dexi came in with hot water.
Xiao Yeyang helped Daohua sit at the table, took out the medicine and began to bandage her wound.
Rolling up his sleeves, a bloody knife mark appeared in Xiao Yeyang's sight. Suddenly, Xiao Yeyang felt his heart twisted and looked at Daohua with pity: "Does it hurt a lot?"
Daohua didn't want to look at the wound and turned her head to the side: "I didn't feel any pain before because I was paying attention to the man in black, but now it hurts a lot."
Xiao Yeyang picked up the handkerchief and wiped the wound carefully: "Just bear with it."
Daohua bit her lip and nodded. The wound was quite deep. When Xiao Yeyang applied the medicine on it, the pain made sweat break out on her forehead.
Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang's heart ached. In order to divert Daohua's attention, he took the initiative to talk about other things: "Miss Dong and the others are now in the inn at Fenxi Wharf. I will take you to meet them tomorrow."
Daohua endured the pain and asked, "Why didn't they go home?"
Xiao Yeyang said calmly, "Since you four came out together, you should go back together." Thinking about the suffering Daohua had suffered because of the Jiang and Chen families, he couldn't help but feel a little angry.
Daohua was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it for a while, she understood Xiao Yeyang's intention.
If she stays out for a few more days, and this matter gets out in the future, it will be very detrimental to her reputation.
Xiao Yeyang added: "Your fragrant pills are very useful. When you recover from your injury, prepare some for me."
Daohua nodded. "Okay. Honestly, I didn't expect you to find me so soon." He paused for a moment, then looked at Xiao Yeyang curiously. "There are quite a few assassins in this village. How many people did you bring with you to capture him?"
Xiao Yeyang smiled faintly: "Not many, in addition to my secret guards and bodyguards, there is also a thousand-household unit of soldiers."
Daohua looked surprised: "Can you mobilize local troops?"
Xiao Yeyang smiled, took out a token from his waist and handed it to Daohua.
He had found two gold mines before, and his uncle the emperor also gave him a reward. Jinlingwei was a fourth-rank pacification envoy, and if he discovered important intelligence, he could dispatch local troops as appropriate.
Of course, not many people know about this.
Daohua looked at the token. On one side of the token was written the word "Jin" and on the other side was written the word "Zhen". She asked in surprise, "Are you a Jinling Guard now?"
Xiao Yeyang smiled and nodded: "Yes, I am no longer the little prince who is nothing but a nobody in Prince Ping's mansion." He lowered his voice and said, "Your third and fourth brothers are also Jinling Guards!"
Daohua's face lit up with joy: "Really?" Jinling Guard was directly under the command of the emperor. For his two brothers who were learning martial arts, it was a very good starting point for their job.
Xiao Yeyang nodded again: "However, they haven't been graded yet."
Daohua didn't really care about this: "It doesn't matter. They are still young and will have plenty of opportunities to make meritorious deeds in the future." After saying this, she paused and glanced at Xiao Yeyang, "Well, you didn't even tell me. You kept it a secret for so long."
Xiao Yeyang: "Isn't it because we haven't found a suitable opportunity? Don't tell anyone. Jinlingwei is responsible for intelligence gathering. The more secretive, the better."
Daohua nodded quickly: "Don't worry, I won't tell." After hesitating for a moment, she asked again, "Can't I tell my family too?"
Xiao Yeyang: "Your father and your elder brother should know."
Daohua was stunned for a moment: "I didn't even notice it at all."
Xiao Yeyang smiled: "Your father is the head of a government office after all, and he has been in the officialdom for many years. It is not difficult for him to hide something from a little girl like you. As for your elder brother, he is also a fox who keeps quiet."
Daohua nodded, agreeing with Xiao Yeyang's words, but then said, "That's not right. You don't need to bring so many people to save me alone, right?"
Xiao Yeyang smiled mysteriously: "When I found the cave in the valley, which was so well hidden, I knew it was something special. I immediately sent people to recruit troops from the nearby Qianhu Suo."
Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang and said, "You are very good at seeing things from small details."
