Game World: Am I a toy of the system?

Chapter 218: Fellow Villager in Danger

It wasn't just Xiaoli who got into trouble last night.

When the sisters finished the morning training course and had lunch and were resting, unlike the usual quietness, there were whispers everywhere and most people looked nervous.

In addition to Xiaoli who follows Chen Rong, there are two sisters who are united with Chen Lan, one person who follows Chen Muhua, and another sister who doesn't rely on anyone.

Just from last night to this morning, five sisters were murdered. Although they were not killed, their innocence was lost.

Chen Xi hid behind Chen Rong, trying his best to eliminate his presence. If Master Bai had not been there, six people would have been killed!

"That man didn't succeed this morning, but he might try again in the evening, or on my way home!"

"I must be careful, careful, and careful again!"

It was supposed to be rest time, but Chen Rong was not sleepy at all. She pulled two of her trusted confidants and whispered to each other, plotting something.

After the break, it was time to study the Six Arts again. Everyone was absent-minded, which made the tutor who was teaching the class so angry that he almost burst into cursing in the side hall.

After finishing a day's study, Chen Xi changed his clothes, picked up his bag, and followed Chen Rong and others out of the palace.

Because Chen Rong was still planning something with a few of her confidants, their group walked slowly and fell behind, giving Chen Xi just enough time to look forward quietly.

Five sisters got into trouble today at once, and everyone was very nervous, even Chen Lan, the instigator suspected by Chen Rong. It was not known whether she had great acting skills or was really being wronged, but in any case Chen Xi did not see any flaws.

After leaving the palace, everyone went back to their homes.

Not only were they nervous about what happened last night, but the families of the girls also sent more guards to pick up the children.

As for a nobody like Chen Xi, he had to either go home with sisters he had a good relationship with, or go back with the leader's team.

But Chen Xi has a different path from everyone else, so he can only walk alone.

Walking on the way home, Chen Xi looked extremely nervous. His big watery eyes kept an eye on the people on the street and he avoided them. He didn't dare to take shortcuts or walk in places with fewer people.

The way home from the palace was relatively safe. After all, she was surrounded by dignitaries. Even if they wanted to attack her, they would not do it here, unless they didn't want to live.

When we leave that quiet and spacious street, the streets become more crowded, more chaotic and more dangerous.

Chen Xi's nerves were tense. It was the first time she felt that the way home was so long. Crowded streets did not mean safety, but rather danger.

She is actually quite timid, but now she is facing a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, and you don’t know where it will jump out from and bite you.

Especially in such an era, if you are not strong enough, you will be at the mercy of others.

It was also at this moment that Chen Xi missed modern life very much. Even though there were a lot of darkness and injustice in that era, it was better than now!

Just when Chen Xi was missing modern life, the crowd in front suddenly shouted and ran to both sides.

A horse broke free with bloodshot eyes, and rushed towards Chen Xi quickly. Several guards were chasing behind it, shouting at the people in front to get out of the way quickly.

An old man who was carrying water was slow to dodge due to his inconvenient legs and the shoulder pole was swept away by the mad horse with just one sweep, and all the water in the pole was spilled.

Although Chen Xi was a little distracted, he reacted quickly. When shouts came from the front, he followed the crowd and ran to the sides.

Just at this moment, some wicked person tripped her, and then another person took advantage of her unsteady footing and pushed her hard, causing her to fall to the ground.

"Someone is trying to hurt me!"

This thought flashed through Chen Xi's mind in an instant, but when she wanted to get up from the ground and move away, it was too late.

Time seemed to slow down.

The sound of galloping horse hooves, one after another, was like the bell of death, knocking on Chen Xi's heart.

The screams of people around, the fleeting gloomy faces, and the snorting of crazy horses all rushed into his ears.

"Am I going to die?" Chen Xi murmured.

"No." A hoarse voice like tearing cloth sounded in my ears.

"What?" Chen Xi looked in the direction where the voice came from.

Then she saw a scene that she would never forget and was engraved in her heart.

Facing the charging mad horse, Yao Jun looked into its eyes calmly and held the hilt of the sword with his right hand.

When Crazy Horse rushed to within three steps of Yao Jun, a crisp sword chant was heard.

When the wind blows, it is the wind of swords. When the rain falls, it is the rain of blood.

No one knew that at that moment, Yao Jun threw out several swords. There was only the sound of swords singing in their ears. Everyone saw a flash in front of their eyes, and the swords had already returned to their sheaths.

I don't know if there were any drops of blood on the black linen shirt; the black color couldn't tell.

Yao Jun turned around and looked down at Chen Xi who was still sitting on the ground. He pressed the hilt of the sword with one hand, chuckled, and motioned for her to stand up quickly.

Chen Xi looked up at Yao Jun. Although he was still wearing a veil, his heart began to beat wildly uncontrollably.

She thought she must be sick. Just now she was cold all over and felt like she was in hell, but now she was hot and sweating and felt dizzy.

Seeing her flushed face and beads of sweat on her forehead, Yao Jun frowned, walked forward a few steps, squatted down and touched her forehead.

The little fellow villager didn't have a fever, she must have been frightened. However, it is easy to get sick when you are emotionally excited, so we should send her home quickly.

In this day and age, getting sick is no small matter.

Thinking of this, Yao Jun grabbed Chen Xi's arm, lifted her up from the ground, and then held her arm and was about to leave.

"Stop!" The guards who were chasing the crazy horse just now drew the daggers at their waists and surrounded Yao Jun.

"Who gave you the courage to kill a horse?" a guard shouted angrily.

Horses are very precious. Some people have even been awarded the title of nobility for their ability to raise horses. Now one has been killed in the street. No matter what the reason is, someone must be held accountable.

As for who is responsible, it could be Yao Jun, the person or thing that caused the incident, or it could be these guards.

Moreover, anyone who can bring guards out to play must have an extraordinary family background. But they did not check the almanac before going out today because they met Yao Jun, who is the least afraid of causing trouble!

If his throat had not been injured by the poison, Yao Jun would have argued with them for a while and waited for the horse's owner to come over. But now he was too lazy to talk to these soldiers. He kicked each of them away and walked away with Chen Xi in a swagger.

So cool! Chen Xi shouted in his heart.

When Yao Jun took her temperature, she came back to her senses, her vision became much clearer, and she was no longer dizzy.

It was just that because he had just experienced life and death, his body was still a little weak, especially his legs, which were as soft and weak as noodles, so he had someone to support him.

Secretly looking at Yao Jun beside him, Chen Xi felt that his face must have blushed. He just saved me, and I wonder if he is willing to repay me with his body.

As for being treated like a slave, Chen Xi did not consider it. After all, she was a human being, so it would be more appropriate for her to pledge herself to him.

Along the way, Chen Xi's mind was full of random thoughts. It was only when he returned home and saw his grandfather's concerned eyes that he came back to his senses.

"Xixi, what happened?" Seeing that his granddaughter was supported by Yao Jun and came back, Grandpa Chen asked hurriedly.

Yao Jun nodded to Grandpa Chen, then helped Chen Xi to sit down at the table in the shop, and turned to leave.

Chen Xi didn't have time to answer his grandfather's question, and hurriedly stood up with the help of the table, "Mr. Bai, thank you."

Yao Jun stopped, turned back and nodded, then walked out of the shop.

The little fellow is quite interesting, but he must not be harmed by anyone.

After leaving the shop, a sharp light flashed in Yao Jun's eyes, and he strode towards the vegetable market.
