With the cannon fodder script in hand, it is easy for the king to change his fate

Xiao Qing was speechless, because the man who had just been chased was refusing to leave the convoy, and his reason was quite high-sounding.

Firstly, he felt indebted to the man who saved his life and couldn't just leave; he wanted to stay and repay him. Secondly, the other party was now seriously injured, and he feared that the men in black who had been chasing him earlier might not have gone far and that the man might not have survived if he had broken away from the convoy.

If it were Xiao Qing herself, she would definitely leave immediately and ignore this shameless person.

but……

“Miss, I really have no choice but to follow your caravan. I will never forget your kindness today.” Mo Ying looked weak, his handsome face was bloodless, and he seemed about to faint at any moment. “I still have some skills. If you don’t mind, I am willing to stay by your side as a guard after I recover, and protect you with my life.”

Mo Ying had set up this whole thing himself, so he naturally didn't think that the client had actually saved his life, and repaying the debt was out of the question.

Besides, he's a cold-hearted person by nature. He might feel some gratitude towards those who help him, but that gratitude is insignificant compared to his own interests.

But the client didn't know any of this; she genuinely believed that Mo Ying was desperate and had just stumbled upon the convoy by sheer luck.

She was worried about going to the capital alone, not knowing what would happen in the future. Mo Ying's words moved her. Thinking that she had been saved by him and that Mo Ying was skilled, she might really need his help in the future, so she decided to keep him.

Little did they know they had left behind a scourge.

Having a man who has injured himself while practicing martial arts by your side, and being his only antidote, is incredibly dangerous.

“Guard Xiao, why don’t we leave him in the caravan? If those men in black haven’t gone far, he’ll probably be hunted down soon if he leaves the caravan,” A-Zhen said. “Those men in black kill anyone they see; they’re probably not good people.”

"Yes, Miss Qin." The man in black was no match for their group, so Xiao Qing was naturally unafraid. Since Qin Zhen had already spoken, he said no more. His master had instructed him to listen to her on the journey. He just didn't really want to bring anyone with him; it wouldn't be much trouble anyway.

There was only one carriage, but Mo Ying didn't get in. Instead, he sat next to the coachman, which seemed quite sensible. Xiao Qing let him be.

“I have some herbs here for external injuries; Young Master Mo should find them useful,” A-Zhen said, handing over the herbs.

Mo Ying accepted the gift: "Thank you, Miss Qin. I am now your bodyguard. You can just call me Mo Ying."

Holding the herbs, he couldn't help but recall the time in his past life when she distributed porridge to the poor. She was always a very patient person. She never showed the slightest disgust towards anyone, whether it was those around her or a down-on-his-luck beggar like him.

He had secretly observed her before. This noble official's wife had been very capable and lived a glamorous life in her previous life, envied by countless people. But such a person, when no one was around, had a face full of sorrow.

In this second life, she is not yet married. He will do everything he can to bring her back to Wuyinglou, away from the troubles of the capital.

The rest of the journey went smoothly without any further incidents.

Mo Ying's injuries have healed well, and he has indeed been working diligently as A Zhen's bodyguard, doing his best in every way. Even Xiao Qing couldn't find a single fault with him.

Seeing that Miss Qin acquiesced, he said no more and planned to report the matter to his master after returning to the capital.

Regardless of anything else, Miss Qin is the master's savior, and no matter what the master thinks, he must protect her.

We've arrived in the capital; it's indeed much more prosperous.

Pei Hui had his own plans, but he didn't let Azhen move directly into the Seventh Prince's residence, because he knew his client's personality—he couldn't tolerate any dissent. Unfortunately, as a prince, even though he hadn't yet married a principal wife, he still had several concubines by his side.

"This is a residence specially prepared for Miss Qin by the master. If there is anything you are not satisfied with or if you need anything, please feel free to give your orders." The speaker was the steward of the residence, with a kind and gentle expression.

"Master is away on business today, he will come over when he is done." Azhen nodded and walked into the courtyard.

Pei Hui has indeed been quite busy lately, and hasn't even been to the backyard yet, probably because he just returned from his rebirth and needs to make arrangements.

But that's bound to happen sooner or later, she's not in a hurry.

For Pei Hui, not having an heir was her biggest regret. Now that everyone has been brought back, they will surely come looking for her soon.

This mansion also has many guards, but Xiao Qing left after dropping Azhen off here. He is Pei Hui's capable assistant and would certainly not stay in this small mansion to guard her.

"I never expected this to be the Seventh Prince's entourage." After everyone had left, Mo Ying remarked with a sigh, "How did Miss Qin get involved with the Seventh Prince, and now she's been arranged to stay in this mansion?"

At this point, worry appeared on his face, but he was very puzzled inside.

He was unaware of many things in the capital, but he was certain of one thing: Qin Zhen had never had any connection with the Seventh Prince in his previous life, and it could be said that the two had never even met face to face.

Azhen briefly recounted how she saved Pei Hui, causing Mo Ying to ponder deeply, unsure of what had happened.

Just because we haven't met publicly doesn't mean we haven't had contact in private.

Even after living a whole life, he still didn't know Qin Zhen's life trajectory in her previous life. He only knew that she was Ji Qing's wife and a shrewd businesswoman.

"Miss Qin must be tired. Why don't you rest first? If you want to go anywhere later, just call me."

Azhen asked, "Don't you have anything to do? It was Guard Xiao who saved you before. I didn't do anything. You don't need to stay by my side."

“But it was Miss Qin who was willing to let me stay in the caravan. If it weren’t for you, I might have been killed by those men in black long ago,” Mo Ying said, then added sadly, “I am now all alone and have nothing to do for the time being. I promised to be Miss Qin’s bodyguard, so I can’t go back on my word. Besides, Miss Qin is now involved with the Seventh Prince, so I can’t just leave like this.”

"I really don't know what the Seventh Prince is thinking by leaving Miss Qin here like this. I'm worried about him."

As a man himself, he had some suspicions. What could be the intention behind bringing a woman back from so far away? If it were truly to repay a life-saving debt, it certainly wouldn't be like this.

Mo Ying was not happy; she felt as if her possessions were being coveted.

Sometimes I even think about just kidnapping them.

However, due to his past life experiences, he felt somewhat grateful to Qin Zhen. At this moment, he was still thinking about winning Qin Zhen's heart, and it would be inappropriate to forcibly abduct her.

There was also the Seventh Prince, and he believed there would always be a chance to make Qin Zhen willingly follow him.

Seeing the woman in front of him remain silent, Mo Ying said, "Miss Qin, don't worry. If anything happens, I will definitely protect you."

The client actually believed it.

She thought that Mo Ying would really help her out of gratitude for saving her life.

So when they discovered that Pei Hui was not a good person and wanted to escape, they immediately discussed it with Mo Ying.

Little did she know that after escaping the wolf, she would encounter a tiger. (End of Chapter)
