The doctor concubine who broke off the engagement was forced to rush to the wedding, but became the

The group rode at full speed for about ten days and finally entered Ci County in the Jiangnan area.

After three days of following, the King of Qin began to complain that he could not bear it any longer. Riding a horse was too tiring, and changing to a carriage was too bumpy and uncomfortable. Pei Yi took the opportunity to ask him to take the water route instead, and sent a hundred guards to accompany him for protection, and secretly asked He Ying to send twenty people to watch over him along the way.

When we entered the woods outside Cicheng County, it was already dark.

The official road along the way was quite damaged and some places were too muddy. We underestimated the speed of travel and should have reached the post station before dark, but now it seemed we could only spend the night in the mountains.

Pei Yi ordered everyone to set up camp in the forest. They lit a fire to prevent wild animals from approaching, and a thousand soldiers were divided into three groups to take turns to keep watch.

The carriage stopped in the woods. Xie Zhichan rubbed her neck. Although she was riding in a carriage, it was traveling too fast and the conditions of the ancient official road were limited. She still felt a sore back from the bumpy ride.

Pei Yi lifted the curtain and got in the car. Seeing her like this, he couldn't bear it and said, "Ayuan, you shouldn't have come with me."

Xie Zhichan rolled his eyes at him and asked, "Who was it that acted like a spoiled child with me and asked me to protect him?"

Pei Yi touched his nose and thought to himself that he would be in Jiangnan for at least a month, and at most two or three months. He was worried about leaving A Yuan alone in the capital, not to mention that Lu Xiuzhu was still eyeing A Yuan, which made him even more worried.

He squatted beside Xie Zhichan and massaged her shoulders and back, but as he massaged, his hands gradually moved to her waist and lingered around her waist.

Xie Zhichan turned around and glared at him: "We are in the wilderness, don't add fuel to the fire."

Pei Yi smiled and said, "If I stir up trouble, what will Yuan do?"

Xie Zhichan just stared at Pei Yi without saying anything, his eyes meant: "Be serious!"

Pei Yi saw that Xie Zhichan was silent, so he said, "Lie down, I'll give you a proper massage."

Xie Zhichan looked at Pei Yi suspiciously: "Really?"

Pei Yi knew what she hadn't finished saying: "You don't want to do anything else, do you?"

Pei Yi smiled and said, "Really. As a husband, I can't bear to see you traveling thousands of miles with me, so I will take good care of you."

Xie Zhichan believed him for the time being and lay down on the small couch in the carriage. She felt Pei Yi's palms pinching her back and massaging her sore muscles. He was really massaging her, and his technique was quite good.

She felt that if Pei Yi really wanted to add fuel to the fire, then it would not be a bad idea to just start the fire.

But this desolate mountain was not memorable enough as a place for a wedding night, so she said nothing, otherwise Pei Yi would pounce on her like a hungry wolf.

Pei Yi's hand on Xie Zhichan's back suddenly paused. Xie Zhichan instinctively felt Pei Yi's alert reaction. She turned her head to look at Pei Yi. The two looked at each other, and the tacit understanding in an instant made them need no words: they had waited carefully all the way, and what was supposed to come finally came.

It turns out that the prince's plan was to rob in the name of bandits.

Pei Yi drew out the Autumn Water Sword from his waist, and Xie Zhichan also took out the sleeve crossbow and scalpel from the space.

Soon, they heard the sound of fighting outside the carriage. Pei Yi said to Xie Zhichan, "You stay in the carriage. I'll let Dan Feng and Yue Yan guard you. Don't come out!"

As Pei Yi finished speaking, Xie Zhichan had already rushed out of the carriage.

"I didn't have a good time in the last summer hunt! This time I can have a good time!"

Pei Yi had no choice but to order Dan Feng and Yue Yan: "Protect the Crown Prince's Consort!"

Dan Feng and Yue Yan did not dare to be careless, even though they knew that the Prince's wife's knife was very sharp. Now that she had learned Qinggong and a set of boxing taught by the Prince, coupled with her own unique close combat skills, she could often achieve unexpected results and could be considered a master. The two of them still guarded Xie Zhichan's back.

During the fight, some bandits knocked over the boxes on the convoy, but to their shock, what came out of the boxes was not the expected silver, but a pile of stones.

"Stones! They're all stones! We've been tricked! Retreat!" a bandit shouted to the leader.

Liu Yousi shouted, "Since you're here, why are you leaving? Come on, don't let any of these thieves go!"

As soon as Liu Yousi said this, the bandits who wanted to escape seemed to have their will to survive ignited, and their fighting power became even stronger.

Dan Feng and Yue Yan were both busy protecting Xie Zhichan from behind, but an arrow shot from the front of Xie Zhichan. It was not clear in the dark, and when they both noticed it, Xie Zhichan only had time to turn sideways to avoid the vital parts, and the arrow still hit her shoulder.

"Ayuan!"

When Pei Yi saw Xie Zhichan was injured, he instantly became furious.

Seeing that Xie Zhichan was injured, Xiao Liu'er no longer cared about anything else. He quickly dealt with the enemy in front of him and rushed to Xie Zhichan's side.

The bandit leader noticed Pei Yi's concern for Xie Zhichan and shouted to his men, "Catch that woman. If we catch her, we can save everyone's life!"

In a short time, hundreds of bandits swarmed towards Xie Zhichan.

Xie Zhichan's two fists were no match for four hands, and her shoulder injury affected her movement speed. As soon as she slowed down in reaction, she was caught by a bandit on horseback.

Before he could react, Pei Yi had already appeared before him.

In panic, the bandit threw Xie Zhichan onto the horse beside him and cut the horse's butt with a knife. The horse neighed and ran madly into the woods carrying Xie Zhichan.

Pei Yi was afraid that the incident of falling off the cliff last time would happen again. Although he knew that Ayuan would not be hurt if he fell down, what if there were a group of ferocious beasts under the cliff, or he couldn't find a way up?

He didn't have time to call Zhuiyun, so he just grabbed the nearest empty horse, got on it and chased after Xie Zhichan.

The melee in the forest was still going on. When Xiao Liu'er saw that Xie Zhichan was in danger, she rushed forward without even noticing the arrow shot at her. She only heard a voice saying "be careful" and someone threw her to the ground. Her head hit a stone and she fainted instantly.

The horse chosen by the bandits who kidnapped Xie Zhichan was a good colt. It was stabbed and its tail was in so much pain that it kept running forward desperately. Pei Yi rode the horse until his whip almost broke before he caught up with Xie Zhichan and captured him.

Pei Yi held Xie Zhichan and sat down on a large flat rock. He immediately checked her injuries and saw that the arrow had pierced her shoulder. The blood had soaked her clothes on her chest. She had fainted and no one knew when she fainted.

Xie Zhichan had exhausted all her strength holding the reins along the way. When she heard Pei Yi's "Ayuan" and smelled the familiar pine scent on him, she immediately fainted.
