Huaxi Chronicle

Yan Cong'an did not only bring treasure boxes and jade beads with him on this trip, but also another carriage.

There were four guards in the car, as well as the doctor Lan Yuan.

Xun Feibai got out of the carriage, reached out to help Yan Cong'an down, then stretched himself, rubbed his numb right arm, and walked towards the mountain stream.

She washed her hands in the stream, took out the handkerchief in her bosom, and wiped her face.After sitting in the car for a long time, Xun Feibai was already a little tired. After washing up, he regained some energy.

Xun Feibai walked back to the car, where Yuzhu was distributing food.Seeing Xun Feibai coming, he also gave her a share of dry food.

Xun Feibai took it after thanking her. She took the food in her hand and walked to Yan Cong'an's side, handed her the silk handkerchief that was wet by the stream, and said with a smile, "I just washed the silk handkerchief, you can wipe it off." , will be more comfortable."

"Thank you, Fei Bai."

Yan Cong'an took the silk handkerchief, raised his eyebrows and smiled at Xun Fei.

Seeing her wipe her face, Xun Feibai reached out to take the silk handkerchief and said, "I'll go to the stream to wash it again, and you wipe your hands again."

Yan Cong'an looked at the back of her leaving, his heart was filled with endless warmth, the exhaustion accumulated from the exhaustion of the morning's driving and horses, and because of this, most of the time was gone.

Xun Feibai handed the washed silk handkerchief to Yan Cong'an, and didn't talk to her again. She took the dry food that Yuzhu had just given her and started eating.

The food Yuzhu gave was baked pancakes, but the pancakes were not just noodles, there was a lot of minced meat in the middle.

The pancake was very big, not too small, but Xun Fei had been warming the books all the way, and now his stomach was really empty.After eating a piece of cake in one breath, he felt that it was not enough, so he wanted to get up and go to the carriage to find his own baggage.

When going out today, Lin Zhu also prepared a few single cakes for her, and eating another one now should be enough.

Before Xun Fei got up in vain, a white hand stretched out beside him, holding half a torn scone in that hand.

Xun Feibai followed this hand to look, Yan Cong'an was looking at her with a light smile, seeing Xun Feibai raised his head, he said: "I have a poor appetite, I wonder if Fei Bai can help me eat half of this pancake, so as not to waste it to eat."

Xun Fei smiled, took the pancakes from Yan Cong'an, and started eating again.

A group of people had eaten and prepared to get in the car and continue on their way.

Bao He raised his feet and walked towards the horses grazing by the stream, but before he got to the horses, he heard noisy hooves and footsteps from the road they had just come from.

She looked warily at the direction from which the voice came from.

Hearing the sound, the four guards behind him also stood up and looked over there.

I saw a big man riding a horse galloping from north to south on the road, and there were more than a dozen men running behind the big man.These dozen or so people were all wearing bunts and holding long knives in their hands, they looked very scary.

Seeing Yan Cong'an and his party, the big man on horseback stopped his horse, explained a few words to the men behind him, and then rode his horse down the official road and ran straight towards them.

Seeing such a scene, Bao He hurriedly drew a knife from the carriage board, turned around and ran to Yan Cong'an's side.

Seeing this, the four guards hurriedly turned around, drew their long knives from the carriage, and stood in front of them.

The leading man on horseback rode his horse and ran to stop in front of them, and first glanced at the four guards.Afterwards, he sneered, and said contemptuously: "Just because of the four of you, you want to stop our brothers. You really don't know how much you weigh."

After finishing speaking, the dozen or so men behind him burst into laughter.

The leading man drew out the long knife at his waist, pointed at the guards and said, "If you are sensible, get out of here, my lord, I will spare your lives."

The four guards were unmoved when they heard the words, and the leading guard said to the big man on horseback, "Who are you?"

The big man on the horse grinned, showing a row of yellow teeth, and said disdainfully: "You want to know who this king is, so get out of here quickly! If you get in the way, I'll kill you too! I only want money and women!" If you want to die, get out of here!"

The four looked at each other, and they all raised their long knives. Seeing this, the man on horseback yelled viciously: "Don't die, brothers, give it to me!"

The dozen or so men behind the man on horseback saw Yan Cong'an and the women, their eyes lit up and they were gearing up.Now when they heard the man's order, they all raised their knives and came towards several people.

Seeing such a scene, Xun Feibai also felt a little surprised.

All the way they walked, they practiced the official way, how could there be bandits robbing the way?

Before he had time to think about it, Xun Feibai got up and took two steps, standing in front of Yan Cong'an, protecting her behind him.

Yan Cong'an was slightly startled when he saw her move like this.Xun Feibai was a frail scholar with a slender body, only a head taller than himself.Facing more than a dozen men holding long knives, he dared to stand in front of him again.

Yan Cong'an looked at the not tall figure in front of him, but felt that this person was extremely stable and reliable.

The four guards fought with those men with more than one enemy.One of the men took advantage of the four people's unpreparedness and came straight to Yan Cong'an and the others. With a wicked smile on his lips, the man slowly approached them, but before he could reach them, he was stabbed to death by the treasure box.

Seeing this scene, the leading bandit was startled, got up and jumped off the horse, jumped over the fighting crowd, came straight to the treasure box, and fought with her.

When Xun Feibai saw that the treasure box cut off the man's head with one blow, he was extremely shocked, never thought that the treasure box could know martial arts, and his skills were so good.

Thinking of the experience of the day when the temple was destroyed, a trace of embarrassment flashed in my heart.

But in the current scene, she couldn't afford to think about it too much. She was still standing straight in front of Yan Cong'an, her eyes fixed on the fighting crowd, not daring to relax for a moment.

On the other side, the four guards had killed three or four men, but there were still seven or eight people fighting with them.The man on horseback turned around and saw the corpse lying on the ground, and cursed.

While wrestling with the treasure box, he distractedly glanced at Yan Cong'an's direction, pretended to raise his knife and slash at the treasure box, but when he saw the treasure box raised his knife to resist, he quickly retracted his posture and rushed towards Yan Cong'an .

The treasure box couldn't react in time, and when it discovered its intention, it was too late, and it fell behind and chased after it.

Seeing such a bloody fighting scene for the first time, Xun Feibai looked tense and observed the movement around him.Seeing a flash of white light, a long knife cut at Yan Cong'an's side, Xun Feibai pushed Yan Cong'an away, stretched out his hand to stop her, the knife was so straight that it brushed against her upper arm.

The man on horseback saw that he hadn't won, and he didn't want to fight, so he turned around and ran back to his horse, stepped on the horse with big strides, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, retreat!" Then he whipped away.

When the rest of the men heard this, they all put away their knives and ran away behind his horse.

Just now when I saw the leading man's knife slashing straight at Yan Cong'an, the treasure box turned pale with fright, but fortunately Xun Feibai pushed Yan Cong'an away in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

She glanced at Xun Feibai gratefully, then ran to Yan Cong'an's side.

Yan Cong'an was pushed hard by Xun Feibai and nearly fell to the ground, but fortunately he was supported by Yuzhu, so that he would not be too embarrassed.She stabilized her body, but before she got up, she saw Xun Feibai's anxious face again: "Are you injured? I was in a hurry just now, so I used more force."

Yan Cong'an shook his head, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of her injured left arm, with blood seeping from under her clothes.His complexion changed, and he said anxiously: "Your right arm is injured!"

Hearing her words, Xun Feibai was anxious, looked at his left arm, and said comfortingly: "It's not in the way, it's just a little scratched, it's not serious."

At this time, the thieves had all fled, and the guards did not catch up, they all walked to Yan Cong'an and the others.

Just now they had many enemies with few, and the four of them were more or less injured.Seeing this, Lan Yuan got up and went back to the carriage, taking her medicine box.She walked up to Xun Feibai first, and said jokingly, "Why do you always get hurt every time I see you?"

Xun Feibai was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to respond.But her words dissipated the tense atmosphere just now.

Lan Yuan found a bottle of wound medicine and a white cloth belt from the medicine box, but she didn't hand it to Xun Feibai, but to Yan Cong'an: "There are all men here, it's inconvenient, you take her to the car Internal medicine."

Yan Cong'an took the medicine bottle and white cloth, and said to Xun Feibai, "Follow me into the carriage, and I'll give you the medicine."

Xun Feibai could vaguely feel the pain coming from his arm, and he followed her into the carriage without refusing.

Inside the carriage.

Since Xun Feibai injured his left arm, if he wanted to apply medicine, he had to take off his outer shirt first.Thinking of this, she felt a little shy, and said, "Give me the medicine from Cong'an, and I can take it myself."

Yan Cong'an glanced at her lightly: "You hurt your left arm, it's too inconvenient to apply the medicine by yourself, I'll help you."

"Don't refuse anymore. You were injured for me, so why not help me with the medicine? Besides, you and I are already engaged, so there is no need to avoid suspicion. Fei Bai should not be coy and delay the injury."

Seeing her insistence, Xun Feibai couldn't help it. She stretched out her hand to untie the skirt, but she didn't take off the outer shirt directly, but pulled down the collar, exposing her injured left arm.

When Yan Cong'an saw the wound on her left arm, although it was not deep, it was more than an inch long, and his heart was both moved and distressed.At such a critical moment, this person is still standing in front of her, how can she not be moved by him.

Resisting the wetness in her heart, she sprinkled the medicine powder on Xun Feibai's wound, and couldn't help but blame: "It was so dangerous just now, if you are not careful, your left arm will be cut off by him in its entirety. Why are you so stupid?" As he spoke, he felt a lump in his throat, unable to continue.

"If I hadn't pushed you just now, the knife would have slashed straight at you. Your life is much more important than Fei Bai's arm."

Looking at Yan Cong'an's reddened eyes, Xun Feibai couldn't help but comfort him softly.

Although the truth is so, very few people are willing to exchange their own arms for other people's lives.What's more, Xun Feibai is different from others. If he loses an arm, how can he enter the imperial examination and become an official? I am afraid that his future will also be ruined.

It is really reckless to act like this.

Xun Fei's pale face was reddish because of the open skirt, but when she saw that Yan Cong'an was worried for her, she could only smile and comfort her softly.

Yan Cong'an looked at the person in front of him, with a warm and brilliant smile on his face, which was imprinted directly in his heart, causing waves of ripples that could not be calmed down for a long time.
