Nineteen years ago.

At that time, she was the eldest daughter of the Taifu Mansion, a rich and beautiful girl who was raised in the care of her parents.

In ancient times, getting married was a woman's second life. As the apple of Mrs. Yun's eye, she naturally hoped that her daughter would marry well and live a good life.

After coming of age, Yun began to discuss marriage.

She came from a good family, had a gentle and quiet temperament, and was beautiful. She enjoyed a very good reputation among the noble ladies in the capital.

Therefore, there was an endless stream of wealthy and aristocratic families coming to the Yun family to discuss marriage.

Yun is a traditional good girl, and her marriage is entirely decided by her parents.

At that time, the marriage fortunes from Ling'an Temple outside the city were excellent and very effective, and were very popular among the noble ladies in the city.

She was also the youngest daughter who dreamed of a happy marriage, so she wanted to give it a try and pray to the Bodhisattva for a good marriage.

She still remembers that day, it was the sunny spring day of April, the most beautiful time of the year.

In Ling'an City, the Bodhisattva gave her a very good fortune as she wished, saying that her true husband was a man of extraordinary talent and appearance, extremely rich and noble, and that they would live in harmony and love until the end of their lives.

She was very satisfied. On the way back to the city, she kept repeating the words on the fortune stick, immersed in a dreamlike happiness.

But the Bodhisattva played a big joke on her. She was fine when she left, but encountered an accident when she returned.

Not long after they came down the mountain from Ling'an Temple, they encountered bandits who were robbing them on the way.

"It's strange. I haven't heard of any bandits on this road."

The coachman grumbled that he had walked this road many times, but had never heard of it, nor had he ever encountered it.

Following the principle of losing money to keep safe, Yun ordered her personal nanny and followers to give away all the money. She only hoped that the bandits would take the money and let them go safely.

But she never expected that after seeing her beautiful face, the two bandits would have evil thoughts and even want to rob her.

She was so scared that she huddled in a corner of the carriage and cried.

The servants swore to defend them till death, but two servants were no match for those bandits. After a few moves, one of the two servants was killed and the other was injured.

"No, no, no, I've given you all the money, please let me go. If the money is still not enough, I'll get more silver from you when I get home, lots and lots of silver, please, gentlemen..."

Yun knelt down and begged for mercy, promising to give them a lot of silver, hoping that they would let her go for the sake of the silver.

But she didn't know that her crying and beauty made the two bandits even more lustful.

"Don't be afraid, beauty. I want both money and life. It would be a pity if I let you go!"

"That's right! To die under the peony flowers is to be a romantic ghost. This time, I, Old Cheng, will be a romantic ghost even if I become a ghost."

The two bandits cursed her with foul language, but their evil claws were not idle either, reaching out to her one after another.

At that time, she was extremely scared. Just when the devil's claws were about to touch her, she suddenly heard a light shout outside the carriage.

"stop."

The two bandits stopped their attacks temporarily after hearing the shouting, but their expressions became even more ferocious.

She glanced over and saw that the person who stopped the bandits was a handsome young man in brocade clothes.

When the two bandits saw the righteous man, they burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, I thought you were some hero, but you turned out to be just a little chicken. Look at your bean sprout-like body, and you still want to ruin our good deeds. Go away and stay where you are."

The two bandits didn't take the young man seriously at all and raised their hands to chase him away.

But the young man took the opportunity to stand in front of her, trying his best to prevent the two bandits from touching her.

A big bandit grabbed the young man and threw him away.

Yun hid in the carriage, not daring to look outside. All he could hear was the sounds of punching, kicking, and weapons being drawn.

The young man then let out a series of screams.

"You two bandits, give up on that idea today. Even if I die, I will protect the innocence of this girl, ah~~"

The scream pierced her heart. She mustered up her courage and crawled to the front of the carriage.

Just one look and she almost fainted from fright.

The young man's hands and hips had been chopped, and his chest had been stabbed. The bright red blood had soaked his brocade clothes, making them all red.

Even his fingers were still dripping with blood.

She was frightened and sobbed, asking with the last bit of rationality left in her.

"My benefactor, may I ask your name? Could you please tell me Yunniang? Even if I become a ghost, I will remember this kindness. I will find you in my next life to repay you."

She thought that she would not survive what happened today. She would rather commit suicide than let the bandits destroy her.

The young man's mouth was bleeding. He gasped and said, "No, no, you will be fine. I am from the Loyalty Marquis Mansion, Xiahou Wenyuan."

Xiahou Wenyuan.

Yun felt unfamiliar with the name, but she secretly memorized it in her heart.

Seeing that Xiahou Wenyuan was so tough and defended the Yun family to the death, the two or three thieves admired his courage and did not kill him.

At this time, a white horse came galloping, followed by several servants.

"Sister, sister, are you okay?"

The person who came was Yun’s eldest brother, Yun Xianxi.

Yun Xianxi was worried about Yun going outside the city to burn incense, so he estimated that the time was about right, so he ordered a few servants to go outside the city to meet her.

As soon as he arrived outside the city, he happened to meet the maidservant of the Yun Mansion who had escaped. When the maidservant saw him, she hurriedly said, "Master, you are here. The young lady has met bandits. Hurry, hurry, hurry and save her."

When Yun Xianxi heard this, he was shocked. He whipped his horse and rushed to Yun's place.

The two bandits saw someone coming on horseback with people, and they knew that they would not get away with it today. They looked at each other, said a few harsh words, and fled.

Afterwards, Xiahou Wenyuan recovered from his injuries and went to the Yun Mansion to propose marriage.

Yun was grateful for his help, and he was also handsome, with all his facial features suiting her aesthetic taste.

Yun fell in love with him at first sight and was determined to marry him.

……

After many years, the bearded man standing at the entrance of the mountain stronghold was one of the bandits who wanted to rob and kill her that year.

Yun pointed at Cheng Dazhuang standing on the gate of the village wall.

"I know that man. He robbed me when I went up the mountain to worship the Buddha that year."

King Cheng frowned slightly when he heard this. It turned out that it was this group of bandits who had made Xiahou Wenyuan save the beauty.

After he became king, he thought of this incident and felt that it was a bit strange. He sent out secret guards to investigate the matter, but after so long, he did not find anything.

Seeing that Xiahou Wenyuan treated Yun very well and she was living a good life, he let the matter go and stopped investigating.

Seeing Yun pointing out the culprit, King Cheng suddenly had an inexplicable thought.

He appeased the Yun family, but secretly gave orders to Jiao Qingchuan and the veteran soldiers to capture Qingfeng Village and capture the bandit leader alive.

He wants the bandit leader alive.
