Agent Abandoned Concubine: Tyrant, beg for favor

Chapter 42 Distress
In the early morning of the next day, according to the previous agreement, Yunxi packed up early in the morning, dressed in simple clothes, and planned to go out early, and inquire about the situation in Moyou Valley in advance.

As soon as Yun Xi opened the door, she saw Su Xuyuan waiting in front of the door: "Why is it so early?" It's not the appointed time yet, and someone is more impatient than herself.

"Is it early?" Su Xuyuan's gentle smile flashed a hint of playfulness, "Didn't Yun Xi also wake up early as well?"

"As a crown princess, I have been guarding against this side concubine trying to harm me, and that master trying to overthrow me. How can I live a stable life?" Yun Xi spread her hands pretending to be profound, "So, I am used to getting up early."

Seeing Yun Xi's appearance, Su Xuyuan couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect the life of the Crown Princess to be very hard."

The two chatted in front of the door like this, and after a quarter of an hour, Wan Qing and Jier walked over rubbing their eyes, saw that the two had gotten up early, and hurried over: "It's the servant who was late and delayed the master's affairs. "

Yun Xi smiled lightly, and Li Xuan was charming on her lips: "Okay, just change it now, and 'servant' left and 'servant' right, don't talk about these, let's go as soon as possible."

Along the way, Yun Xi just thought silently.Although Moyou Valley is said to be the treasure place of the Xia Kingdom, Jing Yushi's whereabouts have been unknown. If this time it was lost again, and the Xia Kingdom's royal family has no news of Jing Yushi, where should they go to find it?
Yun Xi turned her head and looked at Su Xuyuan's hazy profile. It was perfect, gentle, and neither sorrow nor joy... Then, why did he help the unfavored princess and concubine of Yun Kingdom over and over again?
As if sensing something, Su Xuyuan turned his face to meet Yunxi's puzzled gaze: "Yunxi, what do you want to ask?"

"I..." Yun Xi came back to her senses, and subconsciously looked away to hide her doubts in her heart, "Hey, I was just wondering if what the treasurer Qian said was the truth, if it was the truth—"

Su Xuyuan nodded slightly and lowered his eyebrows, and swayed his long fingers in front of Yunxi: "You don't have to think so much, so what if it's true, or... Yunxi is still worried about other things."

Yun Xi seldom saw Su Xuyuan look so lively, and couldn't help reaching out and knocking down the hand in front of him: "It's just a question, it's not a big deal."

Behind Yun Xi, Wan Qing and Jier watched their master's movements and looked at each other for a long time. Jier smiled meaningfully, but Wan Qing was still confused and couldn't find the point.

Due to the bumpy road to Moyou Valley, among the four people, only Su Xuyuan brought a follower and prepared a horse.

This time to test the waters, one is to see if the said Moyou Valley is occupied is true, and the other is to see if the Moyou Valley is as magical as the rumors say, is Zangjin Nabao serious?
But Yun Xi was still sweating. Even if there were no such treasures as Jing Yushi, the terrain of the Moyou Valley was steep and full of dangers. If you don't pay attention, you may lose your life, let alone treasure hunting, and...for the time being It's not yet possible for Su Xuyuan to know the real purpose of his trip.

Just after walking three miles away, Su Xuyuan frowned and stopped, his usual gentle face showed a trace of sternness, he carefully caught every trace of suspiciousness in the air.

Yun Xi also noticed that something was wrong, and moved her footsteps in the direction of Su Xuyuan, holding the cold blade in her sleeve with her right hand, and looked around vigilantly.

Wan Qing and Jier were still chatting and laughing quietly, completely unaware of the tense atmosphere of the two people in front of them.

Suddenly, a few shadows appeared on the originally spacious mountain road, and the person in the lead looked a little familiar... It looked like the gang of bandits I met a few days ago.

Apart from the tense form now, Yun Xi just wanted to feel that bandits are like this now, stubborn, shameless, lingering, and relentless in pursuit.

"It's a bandit from Black Cliff Mountain." Su Xuyuan stared cautiously at the surrounding woods, "This time he brought reinforcements."

The bandit headed opposite pointed at Yunxi, and commanded to the bandit next to him meanly: "Did you see that handsome little lady? Take her back and make the boss his wife. This time, I can't miss it again. As for the latter... I will accept it for my brother!"

I haven't seen you for a few days, and my zealotry only increases...

Yun Xi immediately pushed Wan Qing and Ji Er back: "Let them go first, I won't get into trouble with these bandits."

Before Su Xuyuan could say anything, Yunxi threw the cold blade in his hand, and the bandit closest to Su Xuyuan fell down.

Su Xuyuan immediately asked his entourage to take the two maidservants away first, and flew to Yunxi's side, protecting Yunxi by his side without any explanation, blocking all attacks, agile and without delay, even Yunxi An old fritter in the secret service world like Xi looks at him with admiration.

But for the passive situation at this time, Yun Xi said that it was not very useful, blindly hiding under the protection of others, and in the end she was just a coward.

Su Xuyuan grabbed Yun Xi, dodged, and immediately swung the long sword in his right hand. The blunt sound of the weapon's bleeding sounded. Yun Xi moved to the blind spot behind Su Xuyuan, and stabbed a bandit in the chest with the dagger accurately.Su Xuyuan spun with his strength, splashing blood, and the bandit in front of him fell slowly.

The bandit, who was still clamoring before, saw the helpers fall one by one, couldn't bear it anymore, and ran towards Yunxi with a long knife. Anyway, today is a lost day, so it's better to kill this bitch to get discouraged.

Yun Xi had just killed the last bandit, so she didn't notice the abnormality behind her. When she noticed, the long knife had already stabbed down, and it was too late to dodge.

There was a sound of silk tearing——Su Xuyuan's sword had crossed the bandit's neck... The bandit's knife also cut on Su Xuyuan's shoulder.

The bandit fell down in disbelief, and Su Xuyuan put down his sword in pain: "But did you get hurt?"

Yun Xi panicked in a rare way: "Of course I'm fine, how is your injury?"

Su Xuyuan forced himself to swing his sword again, and smiled comfortingly: "It's just a skin injury, nothing serious, let's go back first, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time."

Although Yun Xi was worried, Su Xuyuan's words were not unreasonable, so she simply wrapped a cloth towel to stop the bleeding, and had to postpone the water test.

Back at the inn——

Yun Xi took out the wound medicine and clean bandages prepared before leaving the palace, and bandaged Su Xuyuan.

"I'll just do it myself, Yun Xi can go and rest." Su Xuyuan couldn't bear to look at Yun Xi's tired face.

Yun Xi carefully disinfected the wound and applied the wound medicine. She was so serious that she didn't raise her head, she didn't see the warmth in Su Xuyuan's eyes: "I hurt you, so I can't let this hurt go unnoticed."

Yun Xi's serious appearance moved Su Xuyuan for a while.

While Yun Xi was carefully treating the wound, she felt warmth on the back of her hand—the hand with well-defined knuckles raised her head to meet Su Xuyuan's eyes.
