A bandit related to the Liang family? !
Liu Sheng suddenly thought of something, jumped up, and ran out like the wind.
"Shihu, follow me."
Liu Sheng found the Jinyiwei deployed in the city and learned that Xia Xuejian had entered Yuqing Temple this morning and had not come out since. His brows frowned even deeper.
"Something bad has happened."
"Sir?" Shi Hu was confused: "Sir, are you worried about Miss Xia?"
"I'm worried she won't die."
I am so fed up with the fact that she is just the concubine's daughter of a fifth-rank official.
There was a strong murderous intent brewing in Liu Sheng's eyes.
The corner of Shihu's mouth twitched. Why did he feel something was wrong? His son had a very good impression of Miss Xia before, so why did he suddenly...
Liu Sheng didn't explain to him and went straight out of the city.
According to Ye Qingwan, Xia Xuejian would follow the bandits out of the city, and he had to find her before Xia Xuejian followed the bandits to their destination.
There is a secret passage in the backyard of Yuqing Temple, leading directly to the mass grave outside the city.
Liu Sheng brought Shihu and some secret guards and rode at full speed to the mass grave.
He happened to meet Xia Xuejian, who had just come out of the secret passage, and was quietly following the two bearded burly men in front of him.
The secret guard asked if they needed to be dealt with. Liu Sheng shook his head, dismounted and followed quietly.
He wanted to see what Xia Xuejian was trying to do.
Xia Xuejian followed the two people in front of her carefully, without realizing that there was someone behind her.
Until we came out of the grove and came to a very unfamiliar cliff.
Xia Xuejian knew that their lair should be nearby and had no intention of continuing to chase them.
She felt something hit her calf and screamed in pain.
The noise alarmed the people in front, and Xia Xuejian realized that something was wrong and wanted to run away immediately, but her way was blocked by two strong men one in front and one behind.
"Who are you?"
Xia Xuejian then realized that something was wrong and tried to cover it up by saying that she was out for a trip and got lost.
But the two looked at each other, clearly unconvinced.
"That girl is quite good at getting lost. She got lost all the way from the cemetery to here."
Xia Xuejian's face turned pale, and she stepped back in fear until her back was pressed against the cliff, with no way to retreat: "What do you want to do?"
Seeing her like this, the two men suddenly became excited, touching their chins in an obscene manner and looking her up and down.
"I didn't expect to come across such high-quality goods in this remote area."
"Little sister, don't be afraid, let your brothers take good care of you."
"You have been following your brothers for so long, don't you just want to go home with your brothers and become their wife?"
"Hahaha……"
The two kept swearing at each other, and Xia Xuejian secretly took off her hairpin, suddenly rushed out, and fiercely stabbed one of them in the neck.
The man screamed immediately and covered his neck.
Xia Xuejian took the opportunity to rush out, but was kicked hard in the waist and fell heavily.
At this time, the person who was stabbed by her came over, sat on her, and slapped her in the face.
"How dare you hurt me, you bitch."
Xia Xuejian was slapped in the face and felt dizzy, and had lost the ability to resist.
The man pushed Xia Xuejian apart and untied his belt while cursing.
"See how I deal with you."
Xia Xuejian saw his actions in a daze and tried to push him away with difficulty, but was slapped again.
Then a pair of rough hands began to tear her clothes. She wanted to scream, but she couldn't and could only cry helplessly.
Just when she was about to bite her tongue to commit suicide in despair, the man riding on her suddenly screamed and fell out.
By the time she reacted, the two men had already been captured by the soldiers.
A tall young man walked towards her, took off his light blue cloak and picked her up with her disheveled clothes.
"Miss Xia, are you okay?"
"Ninth Prince..." Xia Xuejian's eyes were filled with tears. She instinctively hugged the Ninth Prince tightly, her body still shaking slightly.
"Your Highness, these two men are the bandits wanted by the government three years ago." Youwei came back to report.
"Take it back first."
As soon as the Ninth Prince finished speaking, two sharp arrows accurately pierced their throats. They died without even a scream.
At the same time, the third arrow flew towards Xia Xuejian's forehead.
The Ninth Prince was quick-witted and rolled to the side while holding her, and the two of them escaped the disaster in a miserable state.
"Be careful, my lord."
Youwei and his guards blocked the Ninth Prince behind them.
At this moment, Liu Sheng, who was far away, put away the bow and arrow in his hand and handed it to Shihu, saying coldly.
After the two bandits died, the murderous intent in Liu Sheng's eyes subsided slightly.
He guessed that the two bandits suddenly appeared in Yuqing Temple and were met by Xia Xuejian by chance, so they followed him out, not because Xia Xuejian had found out anything.
A heroine who always has to rely on the hero to save her is not that smart.
This is also the reason why he was willing to let Xia Xuejian go this time.
But will he really fall in love with a woman like this in the future?
She is stupid, reckless, and loves to cause trouble, always needing others to clean up the mess. How could such a woman be worthy of his love?
And the number one lackey? !
If he had to clean up this woman's mess every day, he would go crazy.
Liu Sheng was deep in thought when Ye Qingwan's subtitles appeared in front of him again.
"I forgot to complain. The bandit the heroine was chasing was related to the old master. The old master was scared to death and brought people to kill the heroine. But when he saw the heroine being bullied by two bandits, he suddenly softened his heart."
"Her eyes were empty, her messy hair stuck to her cheeks, and her tears rolled down like pearls. At this moment, she was so helpless that Liu Sheng felt like his heart was stabbed hard, and the pain made him unable to breathe."
"It was at this moment that he realized that he had been deeply attracted to this strong, yet fragile woman... He wanted to protect her forever, become her guardian angel, and not let anyone bully her in the slightest..."
Liu Sheng looked at those words and veins popped up on his forehead.
It was as if Ye Qingwan was standing in front of him, reciting these embarrassing lines in a joking manner.
This is not him, no, Ye Qingwan must have made a mistake.
How could this be him?
impossible!
Liu Sheng suddenly pulled the reins and was about to turn the horse around to kill Xia Xuejian.
What kind of crappy novel is this? I won’t read it anymore.
screw you.
"Sir."
"Let go, I'm going to kill her."
"Young Master, calm down. The Ninth Prince is there. If we go out, we will be exposed."
Liu Sheng finally calmed down a little, but his chest was still heaving violently.
After adjusting his mood a little, he ordered: "Clean up all traces. We have to keep our departure from the city secret and no one can know about it."
"Yes, young master."
The secret guards began to act, and Shihu wanted to send him back home.
"No, we're not going back home."
"Where are we going?"
Liu Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a dangerous cold light.
"Go to Yingxuetang."
Shihu was confused. Isn’t Ying Xuetang... a medicine shop?
Sir, are you feeling unwell?
