Master and Bandit Commander

Chapter 3

"What day is this?" Ye Changsheng lowered his head and played with his fingers boredly, and asked the other people in the car. They were on their way all day and night, so they couldn't tell how long it had been.

The big maid Qin Xiang who came out this time pursed her lips and smiled, took out a small plate of snacks from a small cabinet on the side, and replied softly: "Master, we have been out for the fourth day."

The dish is filled with his favorite candy, but no matter how delicious it is, it depends on the mood.Ye Changsheng glanced lazily, without any desire or desire to eat, frowned and muttered: "Why is it only the fourth day? Is Pingzhou really so far away?" , I just thought that after walking for three or four days, it must be a very far away place.

Hearing his words, the little book boy Shumo who was sitting on the side nodded hurriedly: "That's right, young master, I also feel that it's so far away! When can we go back?"

"I heard that we have to go for a few more days. We won't get half of the journey." Another maid Huaping answered, and then pushed the dim sum plate in Qin Xiang's hand forward: "Master, let's eat a little." Well, I don’t know if there is an inn or restaurant up ahead, so at least I can eat something to fill my stomach.”

These people had followed him from childhood to adulthood, and Ye Changsheng listened to these two maids very much, so even though he didn't have much appetite, he still stretched out his hand to squeeze a few pieces, and let them divide the rest among themselves.

The journey was originally boring and peaceful, but when Ye Changsheng dozed off with his eyes closed in the car, he was suddenly awakened by the violent shaking of the carriage.

The two guards driving outside opened a corner of the carriage door curtain and reported: "Master, we have encountered an assassin, and my subordinates will run faster with the carriage. You can sit still!"

Before Ye Changsheng understood what was going on and asked, the carriage started running at a fast speed, and he was shaken so hard that he was bumped back and forth in the car. If it wasn't for Shumo holding him tightly, everyone would have flew out.

Ye Changsheng didn't know who was chasing him outside, but he heard the sound of horseshoes rattling behind the carriage, and judging from the sound, there should be many people following behind.He covered his mouth with a pale face, not letting himself spit out in the bumpy carriage.

The sound from behind was getting closer, and the crisp sound of swords colliding was faintly heard. It was obvious that the enemy had chased them and started a war.

The bodyguards sent by his elder brother counted to six people, and I don't know if they can handle it.

One of the two guards outside the door suddenly opened the curtain again, with an anxious expression on his face: "The horse can't run anymore, young master, get out of the car quickly, we will take you away!"

Before he finished speaking, one of the horses pulling the carriage fell down, and the desperate running just now had exhausted its last bit of strength.As it fell, the originally balanced carriage also fell down, and several people inside also fell out.

The guard who was talking to him just now grabbed Ye Changsheng's hand: "Young Master, come with me!"

Ye Changsheng was caught by him and couldn't move, he turned his head and shouted to the back: "Shumo Qinxiang! You come quickly!" Then he turned his head and said, "Wait a minute! There are also Shumo and the others, we can't leave their .”

"Master, we are only responsible for protecting your safety." He ran with Ye Changsheng without looking back, not daring to stop for a moment.

Unable to break free from his hand, Ye Changsheng tried his best to look back at the direction behind him, and saw a group of men in black and masks fighting with his guards, and Shumo and the others were running in his direction come over.

Seeing them follow, Ye Changsheng heaved a sigh of relief and was about to say something, but was caught under the arm of the guard and started to run away.

The wind whizzed by his ears, Ye Changsheng could only hold onto his clothes tightly to make himself a little more comfortable.I don't know how long they ran like this, until they ran into a dense forest, the guard dared to slow down.

When they finally stopped, Ye Changsheng had already exhaled more than inhaled.

"Master? Are you okay, Master?" The guard immediately helped him to sit down gently, and asked nervously.

Ye Changsheng closed his eyes and recovered his breath for a long time before he managed to speak: "I'm fine... Shumo and the others, are you following?"

Hearing his words, the guard was relieved, but the content of his question made him very embarrassed: "The subordinates didn't pay attention to them."

Hearing such an answer, Ye Changsheng struggled to move: "Then what should we do? Will those people hurt them?" His eyes turned black, but he still wanted to stand up and look for someone.

The guard hurriedly pressed down on him, and coaxed him: "Those people are just here to catch the young master, and they will definitely not pay attention to people who have nothing to do with it. Miss Qin Xiang and the others will be fine. Other people will also bring them to find our."

Ye Changsheng looked at him upon hearing this, and asked softly, "Is it true?"

Being stared at by his master like this, the guard blushed a little, but still nodded firmly: "Of course it's true, so you just need to take care of yourself, young master."

After getting the guarantee, Ye Changsheng was finally a little relieved. He leaned against the big tree behind him and took a few more breaths before he felt much better. He didn't have the almost suffocating feeling just now.However, they didn't rest for a long time. In order to prevent the pursuers from finding this place, the guards took him on the road.

Ye Changsheng still felt that he hadn't slowed down, but he also knew that this was not the time for him to be coquettish, so he followed behind him enduring his fatigue.

"Why don't the subordinates carry you?" Seeing his discomfort, the guard suggested for the third time to carry him.Ye Changsheng raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat off his forehead, shaking his head and refused, "It's okay, I just walked a little, I'm fine."

He looked at him hesitantly for a long time, confirmed that Ye Changsheng really didn't need his back, and continued to walk forward, but slowed down a lot so that he could keep up with him.

After walking for a while, Ye Changsheng looked up at the tall young man walking in front of him, thought for a while and then asked, "Well... I don't know your name yet."

The guard who was walking in front paused, as if he hadn't thought that he would suddenly ask this question. He turned his head and looked at Ye Changsheng who was also looking at him. He took two steps back and saluted respectfully: "My subordinate called Tianjia."

Knowing his name, Ye Changsheng nodded slightly, and then obediently followed Tianjia, "Tianjia, why haven't I seen you before?"

"This subordinate is the shadow guard of His Highness the Crown Prince, so naturally the fifth young master has never seen him before."

"Oh... so, what do the shadow guards do? Are they the same as ordinary guards?"

"It's about the same."

"Then why are you called Tianjia? Does it have any meaning? Just like my name?"

"No, because his subordinate ranks first among the shadow guards, so he is called Tianjia."

"Ah?" Ye Changsheng became a little interested, "Is there still Tianyi Tianbing?"

"Tianyi is the one who carried out this task of protecting you with his subordinates."

"So there really is, so what's your real name?"

"Subordinates have no names."

"No name? What's your last name?"

"No surname, no word."

"Hey?" Ye Changsheng stopped in his tracks and widened his eyes slightly, then asked in surprise, "Why not? It's fine if you don't have a name, but how can a person not have a surname?"

At this moment, Tianjia was swinging his sword in front of him and cutting away the dead trees and branches blocking the road, and answered him without turning his head: "Your highness has taken in me as a shadow guard since I was a child, and I don't know where my parents are. Whoever it is, naturally doesn’t know what their surname is.”

Hearing his answer, Ye Changsheng fell silent.He was a little sad to hear Tianjia say this casually.In his view, a person who does not have his own surname means that he has no family, and if he dies in the future, he will not be able to enter the ancestral grave.

He followed Tianjia silently, and walked a long way in a muffled manner.

Tianjia seemed to have sensed the sudden silence and inexplicable sadness of the people behind him. After thinking about it, it should be because of what he said just now. He was not very good at words, and he comforted him clumsily: "Actually, my subordinate...is not I am very concerned about this."

When he said this, Ye Changsheng felt even more sad.

Seeing that what he said not only did not comfort people, but also made him even more unhappy, Tianjia scratched his head and had no choice but to change the subject: "Master, if you go any further, it will be dark, and it is not safe to continue walking in this dense forest." , why don't we find a place to rest?"

Ye Changsheng looked up at the darkening sky and nodded, "Okay, then let's find a place to rest and leave tomorrow."

So the two wandered around in the woods for a while before finding a relatively safe place, surrounded by big trees and bushes, and the ground was piled with dry fallen leaves.Tianjia looked around, and after confirming that there were no poisonous snakes or insects, he left Ye Changsheng here. He planned to pick up some dead branches and start a fire later.

"I can also help, picking up branches." Ye Changsheng disagreed, he felt that he was not so fragile yet, and he could help with some things.

Tianjia turned around and saw the young master's determination, amused and worried: "Does the young master really want to help?"

"Of course, there's no problem picking up branches!" Ye Changsheng said firmly, "Anyway, it's just branches, right?"

Hearing this sentence, Tianjia shook his head amusedly, and said that the young master was pampered, how could he have done such things. "Young master, you must find that kind of dry branch, otherwise you won't be able to light a fire."

Ye Changsheng didn't understand what he heard, Tianjia continued to shake his head and smiled: "Forget it, if the young master wants to follow, you can follow, it's safer this way."

With permission, Ye Changsheng was very happy. He followed Tianjia step by step, imitating his appearance not far from him, squatting on the ground to study those dead branches and leaves, and then hugged him in his arms. He didn't mind that those dead branches would stain his brocade robe.

Tianjia observed secretly, and found that the young master was not here to make trouble but was actually picking up branches, so he couldn't help but feel a little warm.

The young master is really a good boy.
