Chapter 213 Benevolent Doctor (3)

The assassins suddenly appeared, they came from all directions, blocking everyone's way in an instant.

The guard hurriedly reined in his horse and stopped, looking at the uninvited guests around him in a panic.The leading guard scolded angrily: "Boldly, you are a fool! Do you know whose car is being stopped?! You dare to stop people from the Xuanping Palace, and push them away quickly, otherwise don't blame us for being merciless!"

The words "Xuanping Prince's Mansion" fell down, shocking the scene.

Among the people blocking the way, someone had the intention of retreating: "Yes, Prince Xuanping's Mansion...Could it be, could it be that the person in the carriage is King Xuanping?"

The man's face turned pale: "People from the government are still relatives of the emperor, it's better for us not to provoke... No, why don't we just run away?"

"Fuck, why are you running? Have you forgotten our purpose this time? If we want to live, we can only grab it. If we can't grab money and food, you will die!"

The tallest and strongest man in the group gritted his teeth and said: "Think about it with your brains, they are clearly lying! - I have already asked about it, King Xuanping went to the Huaijiang Mansion to rescue soldiers, and right now Heading towards Nanhuai Mansion, how could it be possible to appear here?!"

The man stared at a pair of fierce eyes: "So, they are just bluffing! Don't be afraid, we are many and they are few, we are no match! Give me all! As long as we steal their car, we will have It's time to eat!"

"Okay, kill, kill!!!——"

The tall young man was the leader of the robbers.The young man just said a few words, and the robbers quickly regained their morale.

They held the long knives in their hands tightly again, their eyes were as fierce as wolves who had seen their prey.They roared, and rushed forward regardless of any rules and regulations, their posture was very terrifying.

"Escort, escort! Protect the princess!"

The guards responded immediately, and they were divided into two groups to protect Ban Xiyu's car at the same time.

At this time, Ban Xiyu was sitting in the carriage and could clearly hear the sound of fierce fighting outside.Qingshuang also held onto Ban Xiyu's hand tightly, feeling nervous for a while.

She also experienced a similar scene a few months ago - when she went north with the Ban family's wedding team, she happened to meet refugees on the way.

Qingshuang: "Girl, don't be afraid, with the guards of the palace, everything will be fine."

Ban Xiyu naturally knew that nothing would happen.Wen Jisheng was dealing with it outside, and it was expected that there would be no danger.It's just that she is puzzled that the Huaijiang and Nanhuai areas have always been the most peaceful——

She talked to Wen Jisheng through the gap in the curtain: "How could there be robbers?"

Wen Jisheng pressed Ban Xiyu's forehead with his fingertips and pushed the person back in, and then put down the curtain with his backhand.He said: "Leave it to me here, you can rest assured."

After all, hearing the sound of silence, he immediately rode forward.

The fast horse breaks through the tight siege, the Wujin umbrella comes out, and the sharp sword passes by, only to hear the buzzing of "clank", all the swords of the intruder will be broken!
"Wen guards, be careful! This group of people is difficult to deal with. They seem to be completely fearless of death. They are rampant, fierce and barbaric." While dealing with the turbulent mob, the guard said:

"Here we are standing up, guard Wen, why don't you escort the princess first. After we deal with these bandits, we will join you!"

Officials and bandits are fighting fiercely here. For safety reasons, it is indeed a wise choice to send Ban Xiyu away first.but……

"You don't need to be so troublesome." Wen Jisheng glanced around calmly, and said, "I can deal with these people, and please send the princess to Xunjiang Town to settle down safely."

This group of gangsters looks menacing, but if you look closely at them, they are in disarray.Wen Jisheng analyzed secretly, thinking that they were not like veteran bandits, but rather like mobs assembled temporarily.

And looking at the way they wield their swords indiscriminately, it is obvious that they are not proficient in martial arts, they just slash at random with weapons.

If the person here at the moment is a bandit who is doing all kinds of evil, it might be a bit tricky for a dozen guards to face forty or so bandits.But in the face of these rabble, Wen Jisheng alone is enough.

"Guard Wen, you, do you want to deal with these villains with your own strength?" The guard said in surprise, "This will not work, it's too dangerous, we should save some people to help you..."

There was no expression on Wen Jisheng's face.He jumped up with one hand supporting the saddle, and the long sword drew a beautiful arc in his hand:

"Stop rambling, quickly send the princess away!—"

After the words fell, he rushed into the crowd alone.

The black-golden umbrella unfolded suddenly in mid-air, and the icy hidden weapon was shot out, and the gangster fell to the ground within a moment.

The guards stared blankly in astonishment: "...Okay, what a great effort!" Then they came back to their senses: "I heard that after the guards are broken, I will escort the princess to retreat first!"

Wen Jisheng turned around and glanced at the direction of the carriage that Ban Xiyu was riding in, and immediately made a way out.All the guards covered at the same time, and Ban Xiyu's carriage retreated safely.

"He, they ran away, hurry up!"

The villains shouted loudly and hurriedly chased Wen Jisheng out, but before they could rush out of the official road, Wen Jisheng jumped into the air on the other side.

He swept across with his long sword, and the sword energy passed by, and the thick tree they hugged fell down!The dense canopy of trees lay across in front of the villains, completely blocking their way.

The villains turned their heads, but they saw Ji Sheng holding an umbrella and standing tall under the setting sun.The sword light reflected the scorching sun, but it suddenly sent chills down the spine.

Wen Jisheng: "Rooting in broad daylight is not something worthy of praise. Today, I can only ask you to stop here."

*
Seeing the distance between them and the group of villains, the guard slowly slowed down.When they came back to their senses, they immediately found that the road in front of them became narrow.

"Reporting to the princess, we seem to have deviated from the official path." The guard reported back.

Ban Xiyu was already mentally prepared for this, and asked: "Since you are walking outside with the prince, are you familiar with the route to Xunjiang Town? If possible, please take a shorter route, even if you don't take the official route. It's okay to say."

"Your subordinate understands." The guard said: "There is indeed a shortcut on the southwest side, but it is more rugged than the official road. If the princess doesn't mind, let's go there."

Ban Xiyu didn't care about these little things: "Yes. Let's go."

The guard got the order, turned his head and changed direction.

As they say, taking a shortcut is indeed more bumpy than taking the official path.The carriage ran over countless stones along the way, and Qingshuang wobbled in the carriage, hitting her head several times.

"Gu, girl, this road is too rough, can you bear it?" Qingshuang looked at Ban Xiyu with a frown, and said, "You'd better use the cushion to lean on, don't get hurt."

Ban Xiyu gave a "hmm", then stretched out her hand to Qingshuang: "Come here, sit next to me."

"Eh."

Qingshuang nodded and was about to pass, but at this moment, the carriage suddenly shook violently!
Both of them were unprepared, and they slammed to the side at the same time!
The moment Ban Xiyu hit the door, there was an exclamation from outside the carriage: "Rein in, there's a snake!—"

After a period of chaos, the driver pulling the horse was forced to stop.At the same time, the horses also raised their hooves and neighed.The coachman gripped the reins tightly and said in panic:

"No, no, the horse is frightened!"

Ban Xiyu heard the coachman's exclamation, before he had time to respond, he fell down at the same time as Qingshuang in an instant.The two bumped and fell in the carriage, and almost fell out of the carriage in a short moment.

"No, it's not good, Princess Wangfei..."

Ban Xiyu propped up her upper body from the overturned carriage: "Qingshuang, how are you?"

Qingshuang sat up beside her: "I'm fine, girl, are you injured?"

Ban Xiyu moved her arms and wrists, only feeling pain in the places where she was hit.She tried her best to hold on to the board, trying to get out of the broken carriage first.But her body was in severe pain, and she couldn't use her strength for a while.

She frowned and said, "Fortunately, I..."

Before he finished speaking, the light in front of his eyes suddenly dimmed.A hand stretched out in front of her eyes, accompanied by a strange man's voice: "Miss, are you okay? If you don't mind, why don't I pull you out now?"

Ban Xiyu was surprised for a moment, then raised her eyes to look——

A young man in front of her bent over to block her, and the sunlight on the west side of the horizon was completely blocked.The young man maintained the posture of reaching out, and when he looked down, he had a gentle smile on his face.

I don't know if it is because of the change of light, the skin of the man in front of him is surprisingly white, his dark clothes form a clear boundary with his fair palm.

"Miss?"

The man yelled softly, and Ban Xiyu came back to his senses: "Sorry, I lost my temper."

While speaking, she raised her arm, and the man grabbed her forearm through the clothes, and immediately pulled her and Qingshuang out of the carriage.

"My lord, my lord, are you alright?"

"This subordinate deserves to die. It's the subordinate's lack of protection that's why you were shocked. This subordinate deserves to die. Please forgive me!"

"Princess please come down!"

All the guards knelt down and pleaded guilty, but Ban Xiyu just waved his hands: "It's okay. It's an accident that the horses were frightened, so it's no wonder you..."

The guard said: "If the snake didn't appear suddenly, our horses wouldn't be startled all of a sudden—it's strange, why did the snake suddenly chase us?"

"Oh, it's really scary. The snake doesn't know whether it is poisonous or not. Just now one of our brothers was bitten by it." Someone said.

"You don't have to worry about this, I have asked my followers to look for it just now, and it is estimated that the snake will be found soon."

Hearing this, everyone immediately turned their heads to look.

Looking at it, I found that the person who spoke was the young man who helped Ban Xiyu and Qingshuang not long ago.

Only then did Ban Xiyu seriously scrutinize the other party.And this time, she realized that the young man's appearance and temperament were particularly outstanding.

He looked to be in his twenties, and he wore a hair crown inlaid with dark rubies. The color matched the clothes he was wearing very well—it was also at this time that she saw that the clothes of the other party were actually dark red.

It was also the color of the material that made his skin look sickly white.And this whiteness also showed his somewhat frail temperament, like an elegant scholar.

Seeing that his demeanor is not at all sick, upon closer inspection, one can only feel that his facial features are delicate and beautiful, his eyes are slender, and there is an obvious small mole under the corner of the left eye.

Ban Xiyu thought to herself, in all these years, she has never seen someone as special as the man in front of her.

Doesn't it mean that he is particularly handsome, but even Wen Jisheng and Fu Guan are handsome.But the person in front of him is not so much handsome as beautiful.

If I had to describe her in one word, it would probably be "a pretty girl".

Ban Xiyu: "Thank you for your help, young master. It's just that I don't know your name? We should also thank you for your kindness this time."

Hearing this, the young man waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's just a small effort, so why should I say thank you? Besides, King Xuanping is now in the Nanhuai Mansion to restore floods and epidemics for the people. Right now, I'm just helping you, the princess. It’s nothing, you don’t have to be polite, Princess Wang.”

Ban Xiyu was not surprised that the other party knew her identity.She raised her eyebrows, smiled immediately, and asked: "Looking at the young master's conversation, he is not like ordinary people, and he is also a person who has read a lot of poetry and books. I don't know where the young master is from? How did he end up in this wilderness?"

"My concubine praises me, I'm not a learned literati, I'm just a stinky businessman who can read a little bit and smells like money." The young man said:

"My surname is Qi, with a single name of Lian. I am from Guicheng. My family has been a businessman for generations, and my business is medicinal materials. Because the business has done well a few years ago, my father had the idea of ​​​​opening a medical center and a pharmacy in the capital. , so this time I was ordered to go to the capital to make some arrangements."

A drug dealer from Guicheng?

Ban Xiyu nodded slightly, and said calmly: "So that's the case. However, Nanhuai Mansion is not the only way to go from Guicheng to Daxuan Capital. In terms of the most convenient way, it should be across Shizhou City and Guhuai Town. The straight line from the central and western directions to the east is correct.”

She said: "Mr. Qi, why did you choose the long way instead of taking the shortcut?"

This question was not very polite to ask, but Ban Xiyu felt that something was wrong.She couldn't tell what was wrong for the time being, so she had to suppress that weird feeling secretly.

However, Qi Lian didn't seem to care about this issue.He clapped the folding fan in his hand, and replied: "Well... because on the way, I heard that something happened to a merchant that had business dealings with the Qi family in the past years, so I turned to take a look, which wasted time and had to change the itinerary. "

"That's really unlucky." Ban Xiyu sighed: "The Nanhuai Mansion ahead is experiencing an epidemic, and the epidemic is highly contagious. In order to keep it safe, I'm afraid Mr. Qi still has to take a detour."

Qi Lian nodded: "I already know this. To be honest, not long ago, I came from Nanhuai Mansion." Speaking of this, he sighed and said:

"The epidemic was really terrible at that time, but in just a few days, more than half of the people in Nanhuai Mansion were infected by the epidemic, and the people suffered unspeakably."

At this moment, the servant next to Qi Lian suddenly interjected: "It's not only terrible, it's simply horrible, when we go outside the city, the common people won't even be able to take medicine.

"If it wasn't for the kindness of our son, who first appointed our doctor to help, and also sent his own medicinal materials to supplement it, otherwise there would be many casualties at this moment."

These words surprised everyone.

Ban Xiyu: "Oh? During the epidemic in Nanhuai Mansion, it was Mr. Qi who extended his hand to help. You are really righteous."

Qi Lian acted very modestly: "No, it's just a matter of duty."

While speaking, the followers of the Qi family over there ran over quickly.The entourage held a wooden stick in his hand, and a long gray and black striped snake happened to be carried on the stick:

"My lord, my lord! I caught a snake!"
