"Whoa~~"
Wang Er reined in the horse.
The horse neighed and stopped.
"Leave your belongings, and you may leave."
The sound came from outside the carriage. They had been robbed. Qi Nuan thought to herself, what bad luck they had to be robbed right after buying things.
"Get out of my way, I won't hurt you."
Wang Er cursed at the burly man in front of him. Ever since the bearded man taught them some things, they had been making a living through their own skills. Now, encountering these lazy good-for-nothings, he was very displeased.
Besides, these three big men are able-bodied and very tall; why would they choose to commit robbery?
"Damn, he's got a tough customer, isn't he?"
"Since that's the case, then don't blame us for being impolite, brothers, let's go."
The burly man at the head of the group shouted and charged forward, but Wang Er ignored them and said to Jiang Yu and the others, "Little Mud, hold on tight."
After saying that, he lashed the whip hard, and the horse, in pain, galloped forward at full speed.
The group quickly moved aside, and the burly man exchanged a glance with the young man in a blue robe standing to the side.
The big man immediately leaped up, stepped over the top of the carriage, and kicked at Wang Er, who blocked it with his hand.
The two jumped to the ground and started fighting.
Soon, the big man's accomplices joined the battle. Seeing that Wang Er was losing, Jiang Yu got up and kicked the two of them to the ground.
"Wait a minute."
Just as Jiang Yu was about to deliver the fatal blow, he heard the young man's voice. Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Yu broke the big man's hand.
The big man cried out in pain.
He called out to the young man, "Strategist."
The young man ignored the big man and instead apologized to Jiang Yu and the others.
"Brothers, please have mercy. We mean no harm and only wish to borrow your carriage. We have offended you greatly. Here is a thousand taels of silver. We hope you will accept it."
A thousand taels? How much money is that? Wang Er was surprised and looked at Jiang Yu.
"With a thousand taels of silver, why would you even bother with our dilapidated carriage?"
Jiang Yu didn't look at the young man's silver notes, and kept his feet on the big man.
"To be honest, we are from the capital and came here to do business. We were unexpectedly robbed on the way, and now only a few of us are left. The young master is seriously injured and urgently needs medical treatment. We had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure."
The burly man quickly chimed in, "Please, you two heroes, save my young master!"
Wang Er felt a little soft-hearted and looked at Jiang Yu, saying, "A-Yu?"
Jiang Yu didn't look at Wang Er, but took the silver note from the middle-aged man. "Where is he?"
The burly man was overjoyed and said, "I'll take you there."
The young man was slightly taken aback, then let it go.
Ignoring the burly man's delight, Jiang Yu continued, "We will only escort the person to the outside of the city."
Upon hearing this, the young man felt somewhat helpless, but he had no choice but to agree.
So he led the way.
Jiang Yu was worried about leaving Qi Nuan alone in the carriage, so she held Qi Nuan in her arms. The carriage was a bit bumpy, and Qi Nuan wasn't very comfortable sitting there, but she could still bear it.
She was overjoyed to see Jiang Yu come over and hug her.
The young man and the burly man were both surprised to see a three-year-old child, but they were not the type to talk too much.
They had only walked for about ten minutes when they saw a campfire burning under a big tree.
An old man and a young man in his twenties were taking care of a young man by the campfire.
The young man lay on the ground, dressed in fine clothes, with an arrow stuck in his chest.
This is clearly the young master they were talking about.
Seeing them return, the old man immediately came to greet them, "How was it? Did you find the carriage?"
"Found him! Quickly help the young master into the carriage. How is he?"
The young man replied.
"Things don't look good," the old man said with some concern.
The wealthy young man was pale and weak, and blood kept flowing from his wound. Although they had applied wound medicine, the wound was too deep and it was of little use.
Seeing the young man, his helpless eyes seemed to see a savior.
"Zhang Liao, have you found a doctor yet?"
"Young master, we've found the carriage. We'll take you to get medical treatment."
Upon hearing his words, a deathly stillness flashed in the young master's eyes. There was no doctor, no doctor. He knew he was going to die.
No, how could he die? He'll live. He doesn't believe he'll die in this remote, impoverished place.
"If I die, none of you will escape. Zhang... Zhang Liao, it was you who killed me. Father will not let you get away with this."
Upon hearing this, the old man and the big man were greatly surprised, while the young man felt a bitter taste in his mouth. He felt that he was very talented and had heard that Prince Yu treated scholars with respect.
He went to the young master's house to recommend himself, but because of his commoner background, he was not given important positions. He was finally assigned to the young master's side, but the young master was arrogant and complacent and would never listen to advice.
Now that he has suffered this misfortune because of his own stupidity, how can he possibly escape it?
Qi Nuan, who was standing to the side, was already stunned. Zhang Liao, wasn't he just the villain's strategist?
It seems that the young master in front of us is the young master of Prince Yu. After the young master died, Prince Yu was furious and ordered his men to hunt down Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao thus lived in hiding until he was rescued by Jiang Yu and others during a famine, at which point he stopped fleeing.
It seems that the young master died at that time.
Qi Nuan wondered if he could be saved because of their existence.
However, she didn't say anything; if she could save a life, it would be a life after all.
We leave everything to fate.
Zhang Liao and the big man carried the person into the carriage, and the old man went in to take care of him.
The two who remained silent were both bodyguards sent by Prince Yu to serve the young master.
Just like a person who can see through the air.
The old man had been taking care of the young master since he was a child, while the big man was a guard in the mansion. If you really want to talk about it, only Zhang Liao can be considered an outsider.
If something happens to the young master, they will all die, but they have family members in the manor, so escaping is impossible.
Zhang Liao, however, is different.
Although they knew that Zhang Liao was not to blame for the young master's accident, they couldn't help but have some thoughts after hearing what the young master said.
Because of the young master's injury, they dared not let the carriage go too fast.
They walked slowly along in the carriage.
The atmosphere was somewhat heavy.
On the way, Qi Nuan secretly observed Zhang Liao, thinking about how to abduct him.
But that's definitely not possible now.
"What's so interesting about it?"
Jiang Yu asked.
Qi Nuan whispered a few words in Jiang Yu's ear, and Jiang Yu looked at Zhang Liao thoughtfully.
They arrived at the city gate, which was already midnight. The gate was closed, so the big man stepped forward and knocked on it.
Jiang Yu didn't care at all how they got in; she told them to carry the people down and that was how they planned to part ways.
Remembering what Qi Nuan had said, Jiang Yu looked at Zhang Liao and said, "You can come to me if you have any difficulties in the future."
After saying that, he handed Zhang Liao a piece of paper.
Zhang Liao did not refuse. Watching the carriage disappear into the night, his face and mood were both very heavy.
He already had a premonition that his life from now on would not be so peaceful.
The horse-drawn carriage sped freely through the night.
Qi Nuan asked, "Ayu, what did you give him?"
