Chapter 977 Chapter 977, Calm Little Rice
"Princess, it's bad, the old man is injured!"
Daohua was talking to the housekeeper when she saw Guyu rushing in. She couldn't hide her panic and asked hurriedly, "Who's hurt?"
Guyu said anxiously, "It's the old man. Dongli came back from outside, carrying the old man covered in blood. He said he encountered sand bandits. Young prince, young prince."
Daohua stood up suddenly, her heart suddenly in her throat: "What's wrong with Rice?" Her voice trembled as she said this.
Guyu: "The young prince was captured by the sand bandits!"
Hearing this, Daohua breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was just caught. Then, she ran out of the house like a gust of wind and headed straight for Gu Jian's yard.
“Master!”
Seeing the pale man lying on the bed with an arrow stuck in his back, Daohua couldn't help but sway: "Quick, go inform the prince and bring Doctor Ge back to the palace from the Dusi."
When Gu Jian saw Daohua, he ignored his injuries and sat up with gritted teeth, his face and eyes full of anxiety: "Daozi, go save Daozi!"
It was his fault that he didn't take good care of the rice. If anything happened to the rice, even his life would not be enough to save it.
Seeing blood oozing from Gu Jian's back again, Caiju's face was full of anxiety.
Daohua calmed herself down, forced herself to calm down, and quickly went forward to help Gu Jian lie down, saying soothingly: "Master, I have sent someone to inform Xiao Yeyang, Daozi will be fine."
Gu Jian's face was filled with regret. He pounded the bed and blamed himself, saying, "I shouldn't have taken the rice out of town. I shouldn't have!"
Daohua was worried that Gu Jian might get hurt, so she signaled Caiju to hold him down. Thinking of what Xiao Yeyang had told her last night, she quickly said, "Master, don't worry. Daozi will be safe for the time being."
"Really? The Sand Bandits don't dare to confront the palace. They probably took away the rice just to rescue the people captured by the Dusi. Don't worry, Xiao Yeyang and I will definitely rescue the rice."
Gu Jian calmed down a little. Not long after, Xiao Yeyang, who had received the news, arrived with a breathless Doctor Ge.
Looking at Daohua, whose eyes were red with anxiety, Xiao Yeyang gave her a reassuring look, and then asked Doctor Ge to treat Gu Jian first.
Doctor Ge used Ma Fei San, and Gu Jian fainted in a short while.
Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua and said, "Don't worry, don't be anxious. I will immediately take the cavalry to Wuhuzhai to rescue my son. I will not let anything happen to him."
At this moment, Daohua couldn't help herself any longer. Tears welled up in her eyes and she choked up as she said, "Then go quickly. I'll be watching over Master. You must bring your son back safely."
Xiao Yeyang nodded solemnly, and after Doctor Ge successfully removed the arrow from Gu Jian's back, he turned and walked out.
"I'll go with you. I heard that the Five Tigers Stronghold is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If I go there, maybe I can help."
Chu Lang stood up and handed the frightened Guo Ruomei to the maid for support.
Xiao Yeyang nodded and said, "Thank you."
Chu Lang: "Okay, saving people is the most important thing."
After watching the two people leave, Daohua looked at Dongli who was kneeling in the yard.
Dongli had many wounds on his body, and his clothes were stained red with blood, but he did not seek treatment. Instead, he gritted his teeth and insisted on kneeling in the yard.
Daohua: ".What's going on?"
Dongli quickly told what had happened.
"This afternoon, the old master saw the young prince enjoying his horseback ride and became interested in going for a run outside the city. It was my subordinate's negligence. I thought as long as I didn't go too far outside the city, I would be fine, so I didn't return to the palace with guards."
"Not long after we left the city, we were surrounded by sand bandits. There were over twenty of them, and my subordinates were entangled. When the old man was escaping with the young prince, he was shot and fell off his horse."
"It was at this time that the young prince was captured by the sand bandits."
"Princess, it was my incompetence that allowed the young prince to be captured by the sand bandits."
At that time, the old master asked him to go and save the young prince, but when he saw that the old master was seriously injured, he was worried that something might happen if he didn't get timely treatment, so he took the old master back home first.
Daohua took a deep breath, waved to Dongli to go downstairs to heal his wounds, and then went into the house to check on Gu Jian's condition.
"Doctor Ge, is my master okay?"
Ge Xun: "Fortunately, the wound is not deep and has not hit any vital parts. However, the old man is old after all, and I am afraid he will need to recuperate for a while after this injury."
Daohua: "Please, Doctor Ge, stay at the mansion for a few more days."
Ge Xun nodded: "That's what I should do."
That night, Daohua stayed at Gu Jian's side all night. After making sure that Gu Jian's condition had stabilized, she returned to the main courtyard. As soon as she returned, she asked someone to find Yan Shouhou.
"Send someone to find out about the Five Tigers Village immediately. The more detailed the better."
Yan Shouhou did not dare to delay and quickly retreated.
Snakes have their ways and rats have their paths. Over the years since he came to Xiliang, as the number one steward beside the princess, he has also made friends with many people in the underworld, so it is easy for him to get information.
At the same time, Wuhuzhai.
The first boss was discussing with the other leaders in the village in the meeting room how to rescue the third and fourth bosses when he saw the second boss striding in carrying a chubby little boy.
The eldest boss frowned: "Second brother, where have you been? Who is this child?"
The second in command threw the rice to the ground. The rice felt a little hurt, but it gritted its teeth and didn't make a sound.
"King Weiyuan's seed!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the conference room changed color.
The eldest leader stood up with a bang, looking at the second leader with anger. "Who told you to do this? Capturing King Weiyuan's son? Are you dissatisfied with the Five Tigers' Camp not being destroyed quickly enough?"
The second in command didn't care much: "Brother, even if I don't catch this brat, will King Weiyuan let us go? In the past, the imperial court ignored Xiliang, so we were able to grow bigger and stronger."
"But when King Weiyuan arrived, he reorganized the garrisons and built a palace. Will he let us bandits go?"
The eldest leader took a deep breath and said, "Even so, you shouldn't confront King Weiyuan head-on. The people of Western Liao were all defeated by King Weiyuan and surrendered. The few people in our village are not even enough to fill their teeth."
The others also looked at the second in command with disapproval.
The second in command was a little annoyed: "I don't want to confront King Weiyuan either, but the third and fourth brothers have been captured by him. How can I save them if I don't think of a way?"
The eldest boss gritted his teeth and said, "If you hadn't acted on your own before, how could the third and fourth brothers have been arrested?"
The second in command glared and said angrily, "Brother, it's meaningless for you to say that. Who am I doing this for? I just want my brothers to have a good meal, right?"
Seeing the first and second bosses grabbing things, the fifth boss quickly spoke up to dissuade them: "Big brother, second brother, it's pointless to talk about this now. Let's think about how to solve the current problem first."
The boss calmed down and looked at the little boy who was sitting on the ground quietly without crying.
Although there was obvious panic in the little kid's eyes, his face remained calm.
The big boss sighed in his heart, he is indeed worthy of being the offspring of King Weiyuan, at such a young age his face turned pale as if he was faced with a crisis.
If it were any other child, they would have burst into tears out of fear.
The eldest brother walked up to Daozi, looked at the little fellow curiously for a while, and asked, "Why aren't you crying? Aren't you scared?"
The second in command also looked over. Apart from the fierce resistance at the beginning, the little kid was very well behaved all the way back.
Daozi opened her dark eyes and looked at the boss, pouting, "If I cry, will you let me go?"
The eldest boss didn't expect Daozi to ask him a question. He was stunned for a moment before shaking his head: "No."
Daozi curled his lips, as if he knew it would be like this: "Since crying is useless, why should I cry?"
The story his mother told him said that the gap between us and the enemy was too big, so we had to know the situation.
Every time his mother got angry, he never confronted her.
This answer surprised the bandits in the meeting room. Even the second in command couldn't help but say, "You little brat are quite brave."
Daozi ignored the second in command and looked straight at the boss. He realized that the person in front of him was the one in charge.
My mother told me a story that said to catch a thief, you must first catch the leader.
"Uncle, can I ask you a question?"
The big boss raised his eyebrows and looked at the little kid sitting on the ground: "What do you want to ask?"
Daozi frowned and asked in confusion, "Why are you arresting me?"
The big boss looked at the cute and adorable Daozi and said with a smile, "Because your father arrested our people."
Daozi frowned and said, "Since it was my father who arrested your people, then you should go find my father. Every wrong has its perpetrator, so why did you arrest me?"
"I'm still a child, and there are so many of you, all adults. You're bullying the weak and outnumbering the few. This is a bit unfair and goes against the rules of the underworld."
The boss and others: "."
Everyone looked at Daozi in surprise as he sat on the ground and argued with the boss.
"My goodness, are all the children from wealthy families so smart? He's only a few years old, and he's already embarrassed me."
"You still talk about the rules of the underworld? This little kid is too funny."
The eldest boss glanced at the person who spoke, then smiled at Daozi and said, "Uncle doesn't want to arrest you, but your father is too strong. Uncle's brother was arrested by your father, and he wants to use you in exchange. Do you think this is fair?"
Daozi spread his hands and said, "I am the fish and you are the knife. If you say it is fair, then it is fair." He looked helpless.
The eldest boss laughed loudly and picked up the rice. "If you weren't the son of King Weiyuan, I would really like to adopt you as my adopted son."
