The prince spared his life! The lady has been reborn to save you

Night was approaching and dark clouds were hanging over the village. The village chief came out of the toilet and heard the dog barking a few times. He scolded the dog and the barking disappeared.

The village chief was a little surprised as to why he was so obedient today.

"Lots of wealth, lots of money"

A hoarse voice sounded, but there was no response. He staggered to the doghouse. A broken dog head, with its tongue sticking out, fell at his feet.

The village chief was startled and his eyes widened. Before he could even scream, blood spurted out of his neck as if he had lost air, and he fell to the ground with his eyes open.

The heavy sword, dripping with blood, entered the inner room and came out with more blood.

A group of people walked silently in the night with swift steps, slitting throats with a knife, letting the warm and smelly blood splatter on their bodies, without any care.

Niu Bao heard his grandmother's call and opened his eyes dazedly.

"Milk…"

Mrs. Liu had her eyes closed, with a big knife stuck in her chest. Niu Bao was stunned, with hot liquid dripping down his cheeks.

In the past, when he fell, his grandmother would roll a boiled egg around his face and the pain would go away after a while...

He looked up and saw a hideous and terrifying face smiling at him. A cold light flashed, and the white silk cloth was stained with dark liquid and sank tightly into his palm.

"Gone?! What do you mean!"

Chu Yizhao was struck by lightning, she stood up and walked out.

It was a hazy morning, the sky had not yet fully brightened, and there was an eerie chill.

Several guards surrounded the gate tightly, and there were two standing by her door. When they saw her come out, they immediately followed closely behind her.

At the gate, Uncle Liu sat on the ground and cried bitterly. Several men stood beside him, their expressions sad and angry.

"What's going on?" Chu Yizhao asked in astonishment

Chu Qi said, "At midnight, a group of bandits came down from Tiger Waist Mountain and looted the entire village."

"Aunt Liu...is also dead"

Aunt Liu is Uncle Liu’s wife, the woman who cooks delicious meals…

Chu Yizhao's eyes were sore.

These past few days, she has been taking care of the farm. Yesterday, she even asked Chu Yizhao if he liked to eat fish...

How come...

She choked up and said, "Let's report to the police first. I'll go to the village to see if there's still hope..."

Chu Qi stopped her and spoke reluctantly

"That group of people were ruthless. The villagers were injured in the throat and there is no chance of survival..."

He took out a bloody silver collar. Chu Yizhao's pupils suddenly dilated and all the blood in his body instantly froze into ice.

That child…

She took it tremblingly, and the cold collar was stained with dried dark blood...

Unconsciously whispering...

"Why... not even letting a child go..."

Such a well-behaved and clever child, with a chubby body, lying coldly in a pool of blood...

Suddenly, she held the collar in her hand. The collar of Liu's beloved son was solid. If he was robbed and killed by bandits, why did they leave such a large piece of property behind...

"Did anyone come to the manor last night?"

"No," Chu Qi replied, "We heard Uncle Liu knocking on the door this morning and learned about this. He took a few people to the fields to catch yellow wolves last night and escaped."

Liu Bo said in a crying voice

"No one usually lives in the manor. My wife and I live in the village... When I got back this morning, I saw her lying on the bed... Her head had been cut open."

There was also fear mixed in that sad cry. Aunt Liu must have died a very tragic death...

"Miss, you can't stay here anymore. For your safety, please go back home."

Chu Qi's face was cold and hard, and a little anxious.

His duty is to protect the young lady. The number and strength of this group of bandits are unknown, and their methods are cruel. It is really too dangerous.

A thunder sounded in the sky, like the roar of God, and dark clouds rolled in. The already dim sky was quickly covered by dark clouds, and the lingering clouds and smoke seemed to be filled with the resentment of evil spirits, hanging over the head.

"It's going to rain. Find a few people to help the villagers collect the bodies, and give them some money to buy coffins."

"The rest of the people will live in the village first."

"We will leave after the government officials arrive."

Chu Qi wanted to say something, but Chu Yizhao had already left with a cold face.

Wo Qiu followed Chu Yizhao timidly, "Miss, it's so scary here...how about we just..."

"Wow..." Chu Yizhao paused, his voice slightly hoarse, "Are there really bandits who only kill people and don't seek money?"

Wo Qiu looked at Chu Yizhao's back, not knowing how to answer.

Chu Yizhao didn't expect to hear the answer, she already had an idea in her mind.

Pushing the door open, Wei Xingche was half leaning against the bed, his brows furrowed, his face pale. Hearing the voice, he asked anxiously:

"Did something really happen to the villagers?"

"Um"

"These beasts!"

Wei Xingche cursed, his chest heaving, and he was very angry.

"If I could pick up a knife or a sword, I would cut him into pieces!"

"How did you get hurt?"

"I was also injured by the bandits. I wanted to ask the soldiers to come and suppress the bandits after I recovered from my injuries, but I didn't expect to be a step too late..."

Wei Xingche clenched his fists in annoyance.

Chu Yizhao closed her eyes and it was just as she had guessed.

Liu Bo said that Wei Xingche was kidnapped by bandits, but Chu Yizhao didn't take it seriously. Liu Bo didn't know Wei Xingche's identity, but she knew.

The prince of Prince Liang won a great victory in the southern border. After returning to the court, he was naturally given an official title and a higher rank. It was normal for him to be robbed and killed by various forces.

She suspected anyone, not even the bandits.

The knife and sword wounds were inflicted with neat and clean techniques, and even the distance to penetrate the vital points was just right. This was definitely not something an ordinary bandit could do.

If Wei Xingche hadn't been kicked by her horse, he would have almost died. According to the original plan, he was seriously injured and went to the capital, Chu Huai went home, took the Da Huan Dan to save people, and accepted the favor from King Liang...

They specialize in killing soldiers and passers-by. Which normal bandit would dare to rob and kill soldiers...

Were those waves of soldiers going to suppress bandits or do something else?

No wonder she didn’t see any villages or encounter any bandits when she was fleeing in her previous life.

Bandits are soldiers, and soldiers are bandits...

What a good plan.

But why did they kill people? The people in this village didn’t know the identity of the bandit.

The strangest thing is that no matter how great Wei Xingche's military achievements are, he is a member of the royal family after all, and the cousin of the prince. It is impossible for him to do anything fatal to the prince. He can only injure him physically.

Is it just to exonerate the second prince?

Why would he slaughter even his own tenants for such a trivial favor?

Chu Yizhao looked at Wei Xingche. What on earth did Prince Liang have that Chu Huai wanted so much...
