Traveled through time and became the darling of the whole family

"Li Qiu...something happened?" Ye Ziyu's voice trembled.

"Well, my people found out that Li Qiu should have been taken away by the bandits on Jing'an Mountain." Fang Jingxiu said.

"If she was taken away, she's still alive, right? Then let's go save her, okay?" Ye Ziyu's voice became softer. She suddenly remembered that Li Qiu was probably just a maid in their eyes. They probably wouldn't agree to it for a maid. Ye Ziyu looked lonely.

"Okay." Ye Ziyu's eyes lit up when she heard that. "Really?"

"Yeah." Fang Jingxiu nodded.

Because there were no inns to go back or forward where they were now, Fang Jingxiu ordered people to set up tents on the spot. Fortunately, the Ye Mansion's carriage was big enough that three people could sleep on it after they packed up their things and spread them out.

It was late at night, and except for a small group of people standing guard around, the rest of the people had already fallen asleep. Ye Ziyu got off the carriage and found an open space to sit down.

"What's wrong? Can't sleep?" A male voice sounded beside her ear. Ye Ziyu looked and it was Fang Jingxiu.

Fang Jingxiu sat down at an arm's length from Ye Ziyu and asked, "Are you worried about Li Qiu?"

"Ah."

"You seem to value this maid very much." Fang Jingxiu said.

"She may be just a maid in your eyes, but in my eyes she is a friend and a family member. She and Lixia are the first people I met here. They have been with me for the past six months, day and night. I'm afraid you will never understand that feeling." Ye Ziyu said dejectedly.

"Thank you, thank you for being willing to rescue Li Qiu." Ye Ziyu said.

"I understand." Fang Jingxiu said in a low voice.

"What?" Ye Ziyu didn't hear it clearly. She seemed to hear Fang Jingxiu say that he understood, but she looked at Fang Jingxiu uncertainly.

Fang Jingxiu looked into Ye Ziyu's eyes and blurted out the words he wanted to swallow, "I said I understand, I understand how you feel. They are not just servants, but friends and family. No one wants anything to happen to the people around them."

Ye Ziyu smiled slightly and said nothing else. She looked up at the sky again.

The next afternoon, Fang Jingxiu asked Ling Sichen to take the three female relatives and continue on their journey to the inn ahead to wait for them, but Ye Ziyu disagreed and wanted to go with them. She promised Fang Jingxiu not to cause trouble and followed them from a distance. Fang Jingxiu thought about it and gave up and agreed.

Ye Qingyin and Ling Bingqing originally wanted to follow, but it was a dangerous trip after all, so they thought about it and decided not to cause more trouble. After giving Ye Ziyu a few instructions and asking her to protect her own safety, they followed Ling Sichen and the rest of the attendants on the journey.

Fang Jingxiu and Qin Luoheng took a total of 10 guards to Jing'an Mountain. When they arrived at the foot of Jing'an Mountain, Fang Jingxiu did not take them directly up the mountain, but waited until it got much darker before entering the mountain.

Before reaching the halfway point of Jing'an Mountain, Ye Ziyu followed closely beside Fang Jingxiu and Qin Luoheng.

"We're halfway up the mountain." Qin Luoheng said.

"From now on, just follow us from a distance and don't get too close. If a fight breaks out, just hide. Mo Qing will be by your side to protect you." Fang Jingxiu said to Ye Ziyu.

"Okay, be careful and don't worry about me. I can protect myself." Ye Ziyu said.

After that, Fang Jingxiu and Qin Luoheng led their people to quietly walk up the mountain, and Ye Ziyu waited until they were far away before following them. Ye Ziyu did not follow very closely, just enough to see their figures from a distance.

"Miss, if we go any further we will enter the village. For your safety, you'd better not follow us. It won't be too late to go up after the master and the others have dealt with it." Mo Qing said from the side. Fang Jingxiu asked Mo Qing to protect Ye Ziyu's safety. Mo Qing felt that it was better to avoid any possibility of danger.

Ye Ziyu thought about it and decided that since she was the one who wanted to catch up, it would be better not to cause more trouble. "Okay, then shall we wait here?" Ye Ziyu asked.

"Yeah." Mo Qing didn't expect Ye Ziyu to ask for his opinion. In the past, he always did what his master told him to do.

Ye Ziyu didn't move anymore. She just squatted down and looked in the direction where Fang Jingxiu and the others left.

After a while, the sound of fighting was heard from above, "Mo Qing, they should be okay, right?" Ye Ziyu asked uncertainly. From the sound of fighting above, there were quite a few people in the bandit's nest, and Fang Jingxiu and his men only brought ten people.

"The people the master brought with him are all good at martial arts." Mo Qing said.

"Who is it?" A shout came from behind the two of them.

Ye Ziyu turned around and saw a group of people dressed as bandits. "Oh no, let's run." Ye Ziyu pulled Mo Qing and started running.

"Chase." The man who came was Wang Er, the second in command of the bandit camp. They had just gone down the mountain to rob today. Unexpectedly, before they succeeded in robbing, they saw the signal from the village and knew something had happened, so they hurried back. The second in command had good legs and feet, and so did two people around him, so the three of them rushed back first, and the rest were still behind.

Just when they reached the halfway point of the mountain, they saw two people squatting stealthily in the bushes. They turned out to be two women. Wang Er immediately ordered his men to chase them. They were probably hiding there and had something to do with the people inside.

Ye Ziyu ran as fast as she could, and looked back to see the three people chasing her closely. "This is really out of control. No matter how hard we try to hide, we will be discovered."

"My apologies, young lady." Mo Qing said, then stopped, put one hand on Ye Ziyu's waist, and then pulled hard. Ye Ziyu was lifted up. Ye Ziyu felt like flying, and was quickly taken to another haystack by Mo Qing.

Mo Qing led Ye Ziyu to squat down. Ye Ziyu was still a little frightened. "This feeling of weightlessness scared me to death." Ye Ziyu hadn't reacted at all when Mo Qing stopped. If she reacted in that time, her shouting would probably echo throughout the mountain. What Ye Ziyu feared most was the feeling of weightlessness.

"Miss, are you okay?" Mo Qing saw Ye Ziyu standing there in a daze.

"Where are the people? How could this damn woman run so fast?" Wang Er quickly caught up with them, but because the surrounding environment was too dark, Wang Er scanned the area with his torch but did not see any trace of the two people.

"Second in command, let's go up and rescue the boss." Someone next to him reminded.

"It's their good luck. Let's go." Wang Er took the two of them and ran up the mountain again.

After making sure the three people had left, Mo Qing asked Ye Ziyu again.

This time Ye Ziyu came to her senses, "Ah, it's okay, luckily you're here, otherwise we would definitely be caught." Just because Mo Qing had just taken her and fled like the wind, it didn't take long for these three men to arrive. It was known that these three men were extremely fast. Judging from the speed at which Ye Ziyu pulled Mo Qing to run, they would be caught in minutes.

"These bandits still have people supporting them. Are they really okay? Why don't we go find some support for them?" Ye Ziyu asked worriedly.

She didn't want to cause so many people to lose their lives in order to find Li Qiu, not to mention that Fang Jingxiu and Qin Luoheng were also among them.

Mo Qing was not worried. His master was always thorough and would not fight an unprepared battle. "The master didn't say that."

"???" Ye Ziyu was confused by this sentence, "Your master is not a god, so he probably didn't expect that someone would support him..."

Seeing that Mo Qing didn't move, Ye Ziyu wanted to find someone for support but didn't know where to find him.

"The government." Ye Ziyu thought of something. "I heard that the government had suppressed bandits before, so we went to find the government."

Mo Qing glanced at Ye Ziyu. Did Miss Ye really not know the distance? "It would take several hours to report to the authorities and wait for them to arrive."

"..." Okay, Ye Ziyu really didn't know the distance. Now Ye Ziyu could only pray for them in her heart, hoping that nothing would happen to them. If something went wrong, saving their lives was the most important thing.

Ye Ziyu heard people rushing up the mountain not far away. Hearing such urgent footsteps, Ye Ziyu became worried again, "It seems that this bandit has a lot of reinforcements."

Ye Ziyu: No, since the previous bandit suppression was successful, even if they were small minions, there wouldn’t be so many of them. Could it be that the government report was false? They didn’t succeed in suppressing the bandits, or did they reach an agreement with the bandits? ! ! ! No wonder, no wonder the shopkeeper had such an expression on his face after hearing the report to the government, and no wonder the government took the people away without even a trial, it turns out…

"Mo Qing, go up and help quickly. These people may not just be bandits. There may also be government officials. Don't worry, I'll just stay here and nothing will happen. Go up and help your master quickly. If the situation is not right, tell them to retreat quickly." Ye Ziyu grabbed Mo Qing's arm.

Mo Qing hesitated.

"Don't hesitate. If you continue to hesitate, I will be worried..." Ye Ziyu didn't say anything else.

"Then you hide well. This is for you. If you encounter any trouble, just send a signal." Mo Qing handed a signal pole to Ye Ziyu.

"it is good."

After Mo Qing made sure that Ye Ziyu was hiding well and would not be discovered, he rushed towards the mountain.
