The girl's eyes were sharp, and Wei Xingche felt uneasy.

The commander who was so decisive on the battlefield was actually stared at by a little girl and felt his whole body numbed.

"Miss Ah Ming, don't be afraid. My guards will be here soon. They are all very skilled and can fight one against a hundred. They will definitely eliminate the evildoers and protect you."

"Miss!" Huaichun ran in holding a letter. "Miss, there's a letter from the bandits."

Huaichun was trembling all over as she held a purse in her hand, and dark red blood had stained the white brocade.

You can vaguely see a few columnar fingerprints on it, small and round.

Sad sobs escaped from Huaichun's mouth.

Chu Yizhao recognized that this was the purse containing the reward silver. The clothes of the women of official families were not allowed to flow out casually, and the purses used for rewards were all white silk without any marks.

After she arrived at the farm, she only rewarded one family.

She took the silk cloth. The bloodstains had already dried and there were a few wrinkles next to the fingerprints, as if they were formed by someone tightly grasping them. Chu Yizhao's nose felt sore and tears welled up in her eyes.

The border was turbulent and people were living in poverty, but the villagers were hardworking and kind, and they finally lived a few years of peace.

They didn't provoke anyone, they just wanted to live a peaceful life, but they were strangled to death in their sleep.

The sun gradually rose, but the dark clouds had not yet dissipated, blocking the scorching sunlight, and the sky flickered.

Amidst the lush green, frogs croaked constantly. Something was missing in the fields, leaving only the rice swaying gently.

After Chu Yizhao finished reading the letter, anger burned in his heart, and a few crystal tears, carrying the anger of their owner, trembled and fell.

"Miss Amin, what's written in the letter?"

Chu Yizhao handed the letter over. Wei Xingche took it and his eyes fell on the woman's red eyes. He moved his fingers slightly and lowered his eyebrows to read the letter in his hand.

Lines of words fall into my eyes.

At three quarters past the hour of Xu, someone will come to take the life of any fish that has escaped the net. All bystanders, please leave immediately.

After a while, the elegance and gentleness gradually faded away, his eyes were dark and captivating, and his tone was low.

"Extremely arrogant"

There are reasons for being arrogant. Chu Yizhao wiped his eyes. This place is remote and it takes two days to go to the capital and back. Even if the government sends troops urgently, they will not arrive until tomorrow.

It would be better to rely on the people from Prince Liang's Mansion, but I remembered that I ate too much yesterday and had diarrhea, so I set out at 11:00 p.m. No matter how fast the people from Prince Liang's Mansion are, it will be difficult for them to arrive at 11:00 p.m.

With the help of her guards and a few surviving villagers, King Liang was able to collect their bodies when he arrived.

Chu Yizhao held the small purse in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking. Incense was burning in the room, and the faint scent of medicine was mixed with the cries of a girl in love.

"Amin Girl"

Chu Yizhao tilted his head.

"Miss Ah Ming, although Che is disabled, he is a martial arts master. He has fought against these bandits for three days. You should take those people away. Che still has some accounts to settle with them."

The tone was nonchalant yet frivolous. Even though his face was pale and he looked frail, Wei Xingche still stood straight with his brows raised proudly.

Wei Xingche thought that these people were coming for him, and as long as he died, the others would live...

The incense burner was between Chu Yizhao and Wei Xingche, with the smoke curling upwards. In the dimness, Chu Yizhao seemed to see a young general galloping on the battlefield under the beacon fire...

Full of vigor and unstoppable.

Chu Yizhao withdrew her gaze. She had great confidence in the commander's ability to fight a hundred people alone, but now he had difficulty holding chopsticks, let alone lifting a sword to kill someone.

Niu Bao’s matter made her extremely upset, so she decided to stop causing trouble for him.

She said impatiently, "Just lie down obediently, patient. I spent so much effort to save you, not to send you to death."

He knew very well how badly his body was injured. He had stepped into the underworld and was pulled back. Now he was going to die so easily. It would be unfair to the doctors.

Wei Xingche's eyes dimmed, and he felt a little guilty.

"Miss A-Ming, I will never forget your life-saving grace, but I don't want to kill any more innocent people."

"Take your people and leave quickly. Xing Che will write a letter to you to ensure that you will be rich and prosperous in this life.

Wei Xingche looked at the woman's slender figure, lowered his head, and squeezed out a few words from his throat.

"If there is an afterlife..."

Chu Yizhao didn't want to listen to his nagging about his past and present lives, so he took a few quick steps and, in front of Wei Xingche's surprised eyes, slapped him on the back of the neck.

The man groaned in pain because he didn't control the strength well and fainted on the bed.

Chu Yizhao wanted Huaichun to stay, but the little girl refused and insisted on following her, so she had to tell her Wei Xingche's true identity.

"The prince is dead, and we are all responsible. In this manor, you are the one I trust the most. You must stay with him all the time, understand?"

Huaichun held the handkerchief tightly, with a look of shock on her face. After hearing this, she nodded heavily with tears in her eyes.

"I will definitely live up to your trust"

Seeing that she was obedient, Chu Yizhao breathed a sigh of relief, strode out and locked the door from the outside. Wei Xingche died, so did he. But if someone threatened her with Huaichun, she would have no choice but to surrender.

"Miss, otherwise...Miss, you must be careful."

Huaichun's words were on the tip of her tongue, but she changed her tune. She had been serving Chu Yizhao since she was a child. Although the young lady looked gentle and kind, she was actually like a water buffalo. She was determined to do something and no one could pull her back. Now that Liujia Village had suffered such a disaster, she would never abandon the villagers and run away.

"Well, no lights at night, no noise, and don't listen to anyone except me."

Huaichun felt a little weird, but the young lady's decision must be right.

"Yes, I understand."

The guard who was assigned to take care of Wei Xingli followed behind Chu Yizhao silently.

Chu Yizhao shook his sleeves and held his breath. He heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. He turned around, pulled out the guard's belt, tied the man up, took off his hat, rolled it up and stuffed it into his mouth.

She moved quickly, and after finishing, she walked out the door. There were a few guards at the door, and when they saw her leave, they immediately followed her closely.

The inner courtyard of Liuzhuang is divided into the main courtyard and two side courtyards, each with its own gate and courtyard. After Wei Xingche was injured, he had been living in the side courtyard to the right of the main house.

Chu Yizhao stood at the gate of the main courtyard. Woqiu was packing things in the inner room. She was about to go in to stop him, but then she thought better of it and turned around to go to another side courtyard.

This is her makeshift pharmacy.

There was an unpleasant, pungent smell in the pharmacy. A few days ago, she made some strange powders and ointments according to the book left by her master.

Good medicine is difficult to prepare. After much effort, you can only get a small pill. But this kind of shitty medicine requires a whole pot of preparation.

It was noon and Chu Yizhao was huddled in the pharmacy. The room was filled with thick fog and it was so grey that he could not see the sky clearly.

Chu Qi's voice came from outside.

"Miss"

"Come in"

As Chu Qi entered the room, a strange smell rushed into his nose, and his throat tightened and he almost vomited.

Fortunately, he was strong and managed to hold back. He tightly grasped the sword in his hand and walked in.

"What's the matter?"

Chu Yizhao was standing in the smoke. Chu Qi couldn't see her clearly, but could hear her voice.

"The bodies of the villagers have been collected, and I have given Uncle Liu some money."

He lowered his head and said hesitantly, "Miss, we must set off as soon as possible."

"Set off? Didn't you say you would wait until the government officials arrived before leaving?" Chu Yizhao asked impatiently.

Chu Qi was stunned for a moment. "Miss, don't you know that I asked Miss Huaichun to deliver the bandit's letter?"

"How dare you give the bandit's stuff to my personal maid? You are so bold!" Chu Yizhao scolded fiercely
