Koi Fubao: Being loved by everyone on the road to escape from famine

Xiao Yuze sighed helplessly: "Oh, it's really troublesome. You insist that I use the precious medicinal materials given by Sister Yan. I can't bear to use them."

Xiao Yuxun interjected, jokingly saying, "Okay, don't waste time. Let him confess quickly. The prince's safety cannot be delayed."

Xiao Yuze no longer hesitated and forced a pill into the man in gray's mouth.

The man wanted to spit it out, but found that the pill melted at the touch of a finger, and he was unable to resist its effect. He could only watch his will gradually become blurred under the effect of the drug, and finally he powerlessly revealed the truth...

About a quarter of an hour passed quietly, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the two of them. Xiao Yuxun and Xiao Yuze were agile and jumped onto the horses that had been prepared long ago. The sound of horse hooves came one after another, and they galloped away like arrows along the winding path they came from.

They passed through dense bushes and gurgling streams along the way, quietly approaching a small village hidden in the mountains.

The village is peaceful and tranquil, with smoke rising from the chimneys, creating an idyllic scene.

The Xiao brothers carefully tied the horses in a hidden forest to avoid attracting the attention of the villagers.

Then, under the cover of dusk, they infiltrated into the village silently like two gentle breezes.

The information provided by the gray-clothed man was accurate. It was said that the group of enemies who intended to take revenge were hiding in a nearby corner. Their arrest of Fan Yanmu was a revenge for the heavy losses they suffered in their previous failed rebellion by assisting Prince Huai.

During that operation, Xiao Zhixue seemed to have an impenetrable protective shield around her, and none of the eleven warriors sent out survived, which made the enemies hiding in the dark feel resentful.

After learning that Fan Yanmu would pass through here on his way to Linzhou, they carefully set up a tight net, vowing to avenge their previous humiliation.

They used the most cunning method in the underworld - a colorless and odorless drug, which made Qingming, Fan Yanmu and others fall into coma without realizing it.

However, their plan ultimately failed to escape the Xiao brothers' keen insight.

After careful planning, as the night deepened, the two brothers decided to take action.

Xiao Yuze was responsible for creating chaos on the periphery, using his extraordinary martial arts and strategies to attract the enemy's attention, while Xiao Yuxun, like a wisp of smoke, quietly penetrated into the enemy's nest, aiming directly at the trapped Fan Yanmu.

Inside the capital city, the night at Prince An’s Mansion was equally heavy.

After noon, Xiao Zhixue's mood was like ripples on a lake caused by a stone thrown into it. An inexplicable sense of anxiety and foreboding enveloped her heart.

As the night deepened, she lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep and having nightmares one after another, as if some unknown force was tugging at her mind.

"Anlan, are you there?"

She called softly, her voice tinged with uneasiness.

"My lady, I am here. Do you need to get up? Please wait a moment. I will help you up."

A gentle voice responded, followed by the sound of light footsteps.

Xiao Zhixue shook her head gently, with a hint of sadness between her brows: "No, I just can't sleep. Since the afternoon, I have felt extremely irritated and uneasy. I am worried that the prince has encountered some trouble."

Seeing this, An Lan quickly comforted her, "Princess, perhaps you are too worried and have too many fantasies. With the protection of Lord Qingming and many masters, the prince will be safe."

Although these words were gentle, they did not seem to completely dispel the haze in Xiao Zhixue's heart.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Zhixue said softly: "Maybe I am too worried, that's why I am like this. Go and see if He Xiang has fallen asleep. If not, ask her to come and talk to me."

As An Lan's footsteps faded away, Xiao Zhixue's anxiety grew stronger, as if there was a force pulling at her heart, making it difficult for her to calm down.

At the same time, on the battlefield, Xiao Yuze was brave and fearless, his sword was as sharp as a dragon, and he fought one against three enemies, forcing them to retreat again and again and fall to the ground seriously injured.

On the other side, Xiao Yuxun had successfully escaped from the village with the rescued Fan Yanmu. Fortunately, as soon as they stepped into the forest, they unexpectedly met the reinforcements led by Qingming and others, and the crisis was finally resolved.

After ensuring Fan Yanmu's safety, Xiao Yuxun did not stay for long. He turned around and rushed back to the village to help Xiao Yuze clean up the mess.

After a fierce battle until late at night, everything was settled. Relying on their tacit understanding and strength, the Xiao brothers defeated all the enemies without leaving any behind.

After a long wait, Xiao Zhixue's anxiety was finally relieved at the middle of the hour of Chou.

The intense feeling of uneasiness deep in her heart gradually dissipated, which meant that Fan Yanmu's danger had been resolved and he was safe and sound.

Back in the dense forest, Xiao Yuxun, Xiao Yuze and Qingming reunited.

Qingming bowed with gratitude and said earnestly: "If it weren't for Master Han and Master Zhan's help today, it would be hard to predict the safety of the prince."

Xiao Yuxun still maintained his stern expression, while Xiao Yuze greeted him with a smile: "Of course not, we also received news that someone intended to intercept the prince, and it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who ordered us to come to his aid and escort the prince to Linzhou."

Qingming still had doubts in his heart, and asked: "Do you know which force dared to attack the prince?"

Xiao Yuxun slowly said, "Have you ever heard of the mysterious 'Anshun Villa' in the martial arts world?"

"I have heard of Anshun Villa, but I know very little about it. I only know that they have never intervened in court disputes. Why did they intervene this time and help the tyrant to commit atrocities?"

Everyone looked at each other, confused as to what he meant.

Xiao Yuxun revealed the secret: "Not long ago, something happened within the Huai Wang faction. They sought help from the ten great masters of Anshun Villa, but were defeated by our brothers and the princess. Obviously, this was their act of revenge."

Upon hearing this, Sizhu couldn't help but feel ashamed. As the prince's guardians, they were unable to directly protect his safety, and in the end they had to rely on the princess's two brothers to come to the rescue. This self-blame made his face slightly red.

Fan Yanmu held the letter tightly in his hand, a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and then he returned to calmness.

Yes, they succeeded. Fortunately, Xiao Yuxun and Xiao Yuze were sent, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Fan Zikun looked at the prince's father worriedly and asked, "Father, is my uncle okay?"

Fan Dening nodded with relief: "It's all right now, otherwise your cousin would be worried and unable to sleep at night. Is she about to give birth in the next few days?"

At this time, the Crown Princess Qu walked into the room with a smile on her face: "Well, father and son, come and try the newly brewed Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup to relieve your internal heat."

Upon hearing this, Fan Zikun's face suddenly blossomed with childlike joy: "Oh, it's been a long time since I had the Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup cooked by my mother!"

While savoring the hot rice porridge, Fan Dening casually said to Fan Zikun, "Qing'er, your Yue family seems to be a little restless recently. Find a chance to ask your wife to go back and tell them something."

Fan Zikun was slightly surprised when he heard this: "Father, what are they doing now?"
