Gourmet Red Chamber: A Chronicle of Baochai's Rebirth

Xue Baobao and his party were not as peaceful as Lin Daiyu thought. After finding the marks left by Beiqi and Yu Xin, they followed Beiqi's direction and headed west.

Beiqi was very attentive and left marks along the way. They even found the small fishing island where Yu Xin temporarily stayed to recuperate after falling into the sea, and got the exact news about Yu Xin.

Qian Biao, the leader of the Royal Forest Army sent by the emperor, received Baozhuang's instructions and advised, "Miss Xue, since we have confirmed that Lord Yu is safe, there is no need to follow him any further.

Otherwise, it will lead the way for those who hide in the dark and force Lord Yu to jump into the sea.

Moreover, with Master Yu's skills and the Beiqi guard Nan Xing said was more powerful than him, if they can't escape the pursuit of the people behind them, there is nothing we can do.

The current plan is to return to Beijing as soon as possible and wait for the imperial envoy sent by the emperor to thoroughly investigate the matter."

Xue Baobao knew that what he said made sense. Although he was still worried, he nodded, and the group turned around and headed towards the capital.

However, as soon as they left Chuting County, things began to change.

First, he encountered a very strict inspection when he left the city. The book Xue Baobao bought from Chu Ting was even opened by the guards guarding the door and turned page by page!

The guards wearing armor and holding spears were all thin and fair. They did not look like gatekeepers, but more like accountants who had never seen the sun all day long.

Not only did she turn through the pages of the book she bought, but she also twisted it with her hands, roasted it with fire, and dipped it in the book, as if she was trying to find a flower in the book she bought.

Seeing that half an hour had passed, they had only checked out less than ten books, while Xue Baobao bought at least a thousand books!

Nan Xing couldn't help but wanted to cut off those dirty hands several times, but Xue Baobao stopped him and said coldly, "Cousin, go talk to those people.

The books are left here for them to check slowly, and they will return them to us when they are finished.

Not only the books, but also all our luggage are left here for them to check, and they can check them as they want.

We don’t have to wait here in vain, leave a steward to be responsible for sending things back to the capital after they have checked them, especially those medical books, we must ensure that they are sent back intact."

Yu Xiu stepped forward to negotiate with the "guards", and the group left their luggage and left the city smoothly.

However, one night a few days later, when they were sleeping in the wild because they could not find a town to stay, they were attacked.

The opponent was obviously well prepared, and the people they brought were all armed with crossbows, and their numbers were overwhelming.

They surrounded Xue Baobao and his party, and in less than half an hour, they shot and killed all the guards hired by Xue Mansion and more than a dozen forest guards. Only Qian Biao, Nan Xing, and Awei were left to guard Xue Baobao and Yu Xiu.

This was the first time that Xue Baobao witnessed the large-scale bloodshed and fighting in the cold weapon era. His face turned pale with fright, and he clutched Awei's arm tightly to keep from screaming.

At this time, the dense and rapid arrow rain offensive has stopped, and the enemies holding crossbows are approaching step by step. The leader is grinning proudly.

"Miss Xue, don't be afraid, Master Yu. The head of the house just asks you two to hand over the things you shouldn't take, and then invites you two to come over and talk about it.

You two might as well ask your guards to put down their weapons, otherwise you will be injured and it will not be beautiful."

Xue Baobao and Yu Xiu, who did not know martial arts, had been protected at the center by everyone. Nan Xing and Awei were also nearby and were not injured.

But it is true as the leader said, if the fight continues, even Nanxing and Awei will not be able to guarantee their safety.

Qian Biao was not as skilled as Nan Xing and Awei. He was hit by an arrow in his shoulder and thigh. If his subordinates had not been protecting him desperately, he might have died.

At this time, he stared at the leader with a sinister look, and said fiercely, "I am the Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Forest Army, and I have been ordered by the Holy Spirit to escort Miss Xue and Master Yu here. Are you really not afraid of the crime of confiscating your home and exterminating your clan?"

In fact, he shouted these words at the beginning of the sneak attack, but the bandits didn't react at all.

Although he knew it was useless, at this critical moment, he couldn't help but say it again.

"Holy mandate? Are you talking about that poor guy who still has to listen to his parents at that age?"

The leader laughed, and the bandits behind him also laughed.

"Ouch, that's a sacred command, a sacred command! We are so scared! We are almost so scared that we surrender!"

Qian Biao's face turned livid with anger. The leader raised his hand, and the ridicule behind him stopped abruptly.

"Miss Xue, can you make up your mind? Should you follow us obediently, or should you be dragged away by us half-dead?"

"Amitabha, good is good!"

The compassionate and sweet Buddha's name suddenly sounded in the cold and silent night. The hair on the leader's body was rising, and he looked warily towards the source of the sound.

The moon was bright and clear, and the color was like jade. The noble prince with a jewel hanging on his head was like a Buddha holding a flower and smiling. He approached slowly and slowly. He stood at a just right distance from the leader, not too far but not too close, and put his hands together towards the bandits. A salute, "Dear donors, it is better to listen to the advice of the poor monk.

As the so-called "put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately," as long as the donors put down the butcher's knife and repent sincerely, the poor monk will definitely recite the "Rebirth Mantra" for the donors, so that the donors can enter reincarnation early and avoid the suffering of hell."

Reborn curse?

The bewilderment caused by the extreme beauty and temperament disappeared, and the leader became furious.

He was the only one who saw that Baozhuang's clothes were luxurious and his appearance and bearing were excellent. He was afraid of offending someone he shouldn't offend, so he said cautiously, "Young Master, we are dealing with a personal grudge. We are no strangers to you. Please leave quickly." .

Baozhuang smiled slightly, "You have misunderstood this donor, how can your personal grudges be the same as those of a poor monk?

After all, the one you want to kidnap is the poor monk’s sister, and the one you want to scold is the poor monk’s royal brother! "

The leader was stunned for a moment and suddenly realized.

This year, because the Seventh Prince returned to Beijing, the Supreme Emperor and Queen Mother Yang specially extended the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival to three days.

The news that the tallest lighthouse in the history of the Great Xiao was built to celebrate had already spread to every corner of the Great Xiao, and they even heard about it in Chu Ting.

It seems that the seventh prince was indeed sent out of the capital by the Supreme Emperor and the Queen Mother because he was weak since he was a child. He often accompanied him in front of the Buddha for protection.

The leader was frightened and frightened. If this was really the seventh prince, and he had to protect Yu Xin's sister and cousin, it would be difficult.

It doesn't matter if you kill a few imperial guards. If the seventh prince also dies here, I'm afraid the head of the family won't be able to bear the wrath of the Supreme Emperor and Queen Mother Sheep!

While he was wondering, Baozhuan smiled and clasped his hands again, "It seems that the donors are unwilling to repent.

Forget it, that poor monk will not recite the "Rebirth Mantra" to you. I hope you can find repentance and kindness in the hell of existence."

As he spoke, he walked slowly in the direction of Xue Baobao and others, exposing his back sharply to the bandits behind him.

The bandits were attracted by his appearance and demeanor, and by his identity, but no one dared to move.

The leader watched helplessly as Baozhuang walked up to Xue Baobao, gritted his teeth and said, "There is no way he is the seventh prince! How could the seventh prince call Miss Xue his sister!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Baozhuang said softly, "Nan Xing, kill them all."

Ever since he appeared, Nan Xing had been in a strange state of excitement. When he heard him speak, he suddenly stood up and rushed towards the group of bandits.

Ah Wei shouted anxiously, "When Nan Xing comes back, the most important thing is to protect the girl!"

Nan Xing paid no attention to it, and shouted loudly and rushed towards the leader. The leader was about to raise the crossbow, but was unable to lower his hand, and the crossbow fell to the ground with a bang.

<divclass="contentadv">He raised his head and stared at Nanxing in disbelief, "You, what did you do-"

Before he finished speaking, Nan Xing's blade was already in front of him. His last sight in the world was of Nan Xing's raised blade reflecting the moonlight.

Nan Xing beheaded the bandit leader with one strike. Like the bandit leader, the gangsters who were still aggressive just now were all possessed by unknown evil. They didn't even raise their crossbows to resist in a symbolic way. In the blink of an eye, Nan Xing chopped them down like watermelons. , and cut off their heads one by one.

Qian Biao and Ah Wei opened their eyes in disbelief, then suddenly came back to their senses and looked at Baozhuang.

Baozhuang stood next to Xue Baobao, holding Xue Baobao's wrist tightly through his sleeve with one hand, and covering her eyes with the other hand. He was smiling and watching Nan Xing show off his power, and said to Xue Baobao warmly, "Sister, don't look. , I will have nightmares at night, we just need to know that the bad guys who want to capture my sister are dead."

His mood was casual and his tone was soft, as if the whole thing had nothing to do with him.

But if Nan Xing is really that powerful, he will never bear to "show off his power" until now. The prince must have done something!

Qian Biao thought and suddenly knelt down. He was already injured. By this time, the crisis might have passed. He felt that his whole body had lost all strength and he could not even stand firmly.

"Master, two people are left alive, and the others are dead."

Nan Xing's excited voice sounded, and the night wind blew, and the smell of blood filled everyone's noses, mouths and throats.

"Ask who the messenger is."

Baozhuang's voice was as gentle and melodious as ever, and his hand was still firmly in front of Xue Baobao's eyes, "Sister, the smell here is too pungent, let's find another place to rest."

Xue Baobao hummed lowly and lowered his eyes.

As she moved, her long eyelashes brushed across Baozhuang's palm, tickling slightly.

Baozhuang's heart skipped a beat inexplicably, and his slightly itchy palms also felt hot.

He didn't know what was wrong with him, but he subconsciously hid it and urged again, "Let's go."

Xue Baobao obediently followed his support and turned around. Baozhuang then put down the hand covering her eyes, but he did not let go of the hand holding her wrist.

Xue Baobao took steps slowly, feeling the sudden weakness in his body.

Her brother once told her that after he saw Baozhuang, he suddenly felt weak for some reason and could not even reach the entrance of the yard to gasp for air.

And she was obviously not as good as her brother. Let alone walking to the entrance of any courtyard, if it weren't for the support of Baozhuang, she would have collapsed on the ground at this time.

Qian Biao had already fallen down, and Awei also screamed in shock.

Xue Baobao did not look back, and Baozhuang's helpless laughter rang in his ears, "Sister, please forgive me, but I actually don't have many people with me.

I'm afraid that you might be in danger because the medicine I used is a little too heavy, and you're not immune to all poisons like me and Nan Xing."

Xue Baobao hummed, and Baozhuang looked at her expression and said cautiously, "I'm afraid Awei won't be able to ride a horse now. Can I take you?"

Xue Baobao snorted again. Normally she could get on the horse by holding on to the saddle, but at this time, she had to support Baozhuang's arms and it took a long time to climb up.

"Sit tight, sister."

The next moment, Xue Baobao felt a weight behind her, and the next moment, she was wrapped in a thin but warm embrace.

"Nan Xing follows, the others stay behind, and then follow after clearing the tail."

After Baozhuan finished speaking, he pulled the reins of the horse, and the horse neighed and started running.

Perhaps the horse was too bumpy, or perhaps the effects of the medicine were beginning to take full effect. Xue Baobao felt less and less weak, and he slumped limply in Baozhuang's arms.

Baozhuang was obviously not used to being so close to others, and his body kept leaning back subconsciously. Xue Baobao was really afraid that a bump would break his waist.

However, perhaps seeing Baozhuang being so uncomfortable, Xue Baobao felt much more at ease and said, "If the prince is not used to it, just ask Nanxing to take me."

Baodang, whose body was almost leaning back at an angle of 130 degrees, immediately sat up straight, pursed his lips and said, "I'm very used to it."

Xue Baobao, "...Then the prince will change when he is tired -"

Baozhuang interrupted her, "I'm not tired."

Xue Baobao tried to change the topic, "Why did the prince come suddenly?"

Seeing that Xue Baobao was no longer focused on the substitution, Baozhuang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "I've been following you. I'm afraid you'd notice, so I didn't dare to follow you too closely."

Xue Baobao, "...Then why does the prince keep following me secretly?"

Baozhuang was silent and then said, "I, I'm afraid you won't allow me to follow."

The fear of Xue Baobao's disapproval was one reason, but more importantly, he was afraid that seeing Xue Baobao working hard to find Yu Xin, even risking his life, and losing his mind with jealousy would make Xue Baobao see her, and make her suspicious and even disgusted. .

The queen mother was right, he shouldn't argue with a minister, but he couldn't help it, he couldn't help being jealous, and he couldn't help being sad.

I'm even more afraid that I can't help but slander Yu Xin in front of Sister Xue and make Sister Xue disgusted!

Xue Baobao exhaled and smiled bitterly, "Thank you for coming."

Otherwise, she would be a fish on the chopping block. Just as Yu Xin escaped from danger, he would be in danger again and come back to save her.

In the moonlight, the corners of Baozhuang's lips that were tense because he told a "little" lie quietly curled up again.

My sister praises him!

Xue Baobao breathed out silently, "My cousin brought ten nursing homes from the Xue family, as well as more than 30 bodyguards from the bodyguard bureau, and more than a dozen Imperial Guard soldiers, all of whom are dead——"

Baozhuang paused slightly in his movements on the horse, exhaled, and lowered his voice to the softest level, "It's because people are greedy and it has nothing to do with you.

Don’t worry, I will recite the Purana Sutra for them, and they will enter reincarnation soon.”

Xue Baobao gave a bitter smile and said nothing more.

Baozhuang pursed his lips. Although he felt uncomfortable, he calmly adjusted his posture and tried to bring his arms closer to Baby Xue as naturally as possible.

My sister said that he has the scent of sandalwood accumulated over many years, which makes people feel peaceful, so he should get closer.

Why should his sister be sad for those damned crimes?

Sooner or later he will find the culprit and throw him into the snake mint to raise a foot!
