Some of the timid ones were so scared that they cried out loud, but they did not dare to cry too loudly for fear of disturbing the young marquis.

Looking at the villagers kneeling down, Liu Yuner straightened her back proudly, and looked at Luo Zhitao proudly like a peacock.

Seeing Luo Zhitao and Yu Jingling both kneeling on the ground with their heads down, he looked at them a few more times with satisfaction.

If Liu Yun'er hadn't been worried about displeasing the young marquis, she really wanted to take the opportunity to mock Luo Zhitao.

Watch it!

You are like a frog in a well, forever curled up in this small mountain village, and will never be able to appreciate the prosperity of the capital until you die.

But I am different from you. In the future, I will become a superior person, with fine clothes and delicious food, and wealth and honor.

I am above the clouds, but you... can only be like an ant, looking up at me and envying me!

Liu Yuner was so ecstatic that her mouth corners widened wider and wider, looking a little ferocious.

Liu Xuan'er, who was standing by, gently pulled Liu Yun'er, and she stopped smiling.

"Young Marquis..."

Liu Xuan'er called Wu Zexing cautiously, her body still trembling slightly, her eyes full of fear.

Unlike her sister, she had never seen such a bloody scene.

If her sister hadn't supported her, she would have collapsed to the ground.

"Let's go!"

Seeing Liu Xuaner so frightened and her face pale, Wu Zexing helped Liu Xuaner into the car with some heartache.

Leaving behind a few guards to handle the aftermath, the young marquis and his entourage set out on the journey back to the capital.

As soon as the young marquis left, several guards' faces darkened and they arrogantly scolded the village chief, asking him to arrange for someone to throw He's body into the back mountain, and then went to He's house.

After watching the guards leave, the villagers dared to get up one after another and discuss in low voices what had just happened.

Luo Zhitao and Yu Jingling did not join the crowd. They stood up, brushed the dust off their butts, and took their two children home to avoid the spotlight.

Of course, the two men would not kneel down to Liu Yuner. They just took advantage of the crowd to sit on the ground.

Even if other villagers saw them, they would just think that the two were so scared that their legs went limp and they were not kneeling properly.

He Ergou became a fool and lost his voice without much struggle.

He was thrown onto the mountain along with his mother.

Some people in the village felt really sorry for the mother and son who were found dead in the wild. After the guards left, they wanted to dig a hole to bury them, but their family members strongly dissuaded them.

The young marquis and the guards were gone, but the Liu family was still there.

If this gets to the young marquis's ears, their whole family will be in trouble.

Luo Zhitao and Yu Jingling were not afraid of the young marquis's revenge in the future, but the mother and son of the He family had nothing to do with them, and they were the enemies of the original owner, so the two of them did not interfere and, like other villagers, turned a blind eye.

In the end, no one dared to stop the mother and son of the He family, and they were eaten by wild beasts in the mountains, and no trace of their bodies was left after their death.

...

Because the young marquis's injury had not yet healed, the convoy was not moving very fast.

Every two hours of walking, you need to take a break.

After walking and stopping many times, it has been four days since we left Xiaoxi Village, but we have only walked more than a hundred miles.

At this rate, the journey that originally took two and a half months would at least double in time.

"Young Marquis, the Marquis sent us a letter asking us to return before the Mid-Autumn Festival..."

When the young marquis was about to stop to rest again, the head guard hesitated for a while, but still stepped forward cautiously to remind the young marquis.

Wu Zexing glanced at the head guard with dissatisfaction and said nonchalantly.

"Don't worry, my father knows that I'm injured and he won't blame me."

The chief guard didn't dare to say anything more and quickly ordered his subordinates to find a comfortable place for the young marquis to rest.

"I'm so tired! How long will it take to get there?"

Liu Xuaner's expression has not changed since leaving Xiaoxi Village.

She was still a little pale, which made Wu Zexing feel even more pity for her, and his voice became a little gentler when he spoke to her.

Liu Yun'er felt jealous, but she could only maintain her sisterly love on the surface so as not to let the young marquis realize her true thoughts.

"It's still early. It will take at least two more months."

"Two months?!"

Liu Xuaner was about to cry, she regretted it so much that her intestines turned green.

Why did I go to the mountain to find my sister at that time that day?

Why didn’t you go out to find food with your sister that day?

Why was she the one who lost her virginity to the young marquis?

The journey to the capital is long and the mountains are high. I am afraid I will never be able to return to my hometown in my lifetime.

She had never left her hometown, but as early as the first day, she began to miss her hometown madly.

But this kind of longing will accompany her for the rest of her life.

"We will be in Yingcheng tomorrow. There is a restaurant there that serves delicious three-fresh duck. When we get there, I'll take you to try it."

Seeing that Liu Xuaner was homesick, Wu Zexing used delicious food to alleviate her homesickness.

"Thank you, young marquis."

Liu Xuan'er forced a smile and accompanied the young marquis to the resting place.

shhhhh!

Several sharp voices suddenly rang out.

The two guards beside Wu Zexing fell to the ground instantly, with a sharp crossbow arrow stuck in each of their chests. Blood continued to ooze out of the wounds, and they soon died.

"Hurry and protect the young marquis!"

The chief guard was extremely anxious and quickly rushed towards the young marquis.

However, the speed of the crossbow arrow was as fast as lightning, catching him off guard. As soon as he raised his leg, Wu Zexing let out a shrill scream.

"Ahhh!"

"Little Marquis!"

The crowd suddenly became chaotic, like a swarm of disturbed bees.

Taking advantage of the crowd's panic, the assassin fired a few more crossbow arrows before quickly leaving.

"Chase! Chase quickly! I'm going to chop him into pieces!"

Five crossbow arrows were stuck in Wu Zexing's body.

There are two on the chest, and the remaining three are located on the right hand, left leg and right buttock.

Wu Zexing was sweating coldly from the pain and angrily ordered his guards to chase the fleeing assassin.

"Young Marquis, are you... okay?"

Liu Xuan'er wanted to touch Wu Zexing with trembling hands, but was afraid of hurting him.

Although she didn't love Wu Zexing, she was already Wu Zexing's woman. She didn't want to become a widow before she even got married.

"Quick! Send the young marquis to Yingcheng!"

Several guards stepped forward quickly and carefully carried the young marquis onto the carriage to send him to Yingcheng for treatment.

But Liu Yuner spoke up to stop him at this moment.

"No! The road is bound to be bumpy, and I'm afraid the young marquis can't stand any more bumps now."

Once the crossbow arrow is taken out, the wound will continue to bleed.

There was no one in the group who knew medicine, and no one brought any medicine to stop the bleeding.

If the bleeding cannot be stopped in time, the young marquis will die from excessive blood loss.

But if you don't take it, the bumpy road may make the injury worse.

"Sister! You are injured too?!"

Only then did Liu Xuan'er notice that there were also two crossbow arrows stuck in Liu Yun'er's arms.

His face was pale with pain, but he endured the pain and directed a few confused guards to help the young marquis deal with his wounds.

"I have a few packets of golden wound medicine here. Give them to the young marquis first."

Liu Yuner took out a few packets of medicine powder from her arms and felt lucky that she had prepared some. Otherwise, where would she find medicine in this wilderness?
