Chan Yi was pushed out by the surging crowd and was about to fall to the ground. She quickly grabbed a tree by the roadside and was saved from being tripped by those who were fleeing.

When she stood up hurriedly, she found that her palms were burning with pain. It turned out that the skin on the palms of her hands had been scratched by the rough tree trunk.

"Sister, sister." Xiao Che shouted anxiously when he couldn't find his sister.

Chan Yi poked her head out from behind a tree and waved her arms at him.

"Oh no, oh no, my young lady has been held hostage! Please save my young lady, please save my young lady." The maids' cries came from the other side.

Oh no, Lu Jingqiu was held hostage by the thieves! Chan Yi was shocked. Her guess was right. Those men who were hiding their heads and covering their faces in the crowd were the rebels. They must have seen through Lu Jingqiu's identity and took her hostage in the chaos.

Several maids began to cry loudly. Chan Yi looked over there and saw the two strong men dragging Lu Jingqiu away to the other end of the alley like an eagle catching a chick.

Lu Jingqiu should be fine, right? I hope she can come back safely. But for an unmarried noblewoman to be held hostage by a man in public must be a big blow to someone like her, right? Chanyi couldn't help but worry about her.

"Brother, hurry up and take people to chase them!" Chan Yi saw it clearly and shouted loudly, "They ran to the alley."

Before Xiao Che could gather his guards, a team of soldiers at the gate of Jingzhao Prefecture Government Office had already rushed over there like an arrow. The figure leading them was very familiar, who else could it be but Pei Jin.

"Sister, some soldiers are going to rescue her, let's go." Xiao Che supported Chan Yi's body and suddenly found that her palms were covered in blood. He shouted in shock, "Sister, you are injured."

"It's okay." Chan Yi didn't feel any pain at all, and waved her hand and said, "It's just a little dirty, I need to clean it."

"Sister, wait a minute, don't run around. I'm going to the Jingzhao Prefecture government office to get some warm water and ointment. I'll be back soon." Xiao Che helped her sit down on the curb opposite and said while looking at the Jingzhao Prefecture not far away.

Just now, Chan Yi ran quite far along the crowd and was still some distance away from her own porridge stall, but it was close to Jingzhao Prefecture.

"Okay, second brother, I'll wait for you here, don't worry." Chan Yi nodded.

"They caught them! They caught them!" Someone ran over and shouted happily, "General Pei is really good at fighting. He can defeat two rebels at once and rescued the eldest daughter of Marquis Wuyang unharmed."

Chan Yi stood up curiously and looked over there, but unfortunately she didn't see them.

"Oh, you don't know that General Pei is a hero saving a beautiful woman this time. The eldest daughter of the Wuyang Marquis's Mansion was engaged to General Pei. They are a perfect match." A middle-aged man beside her said, "My relative is the purchasing agent of the Wuyang Marquis's Mansion. He heard it from the housekeeper. But later, for some unknown reason, the marriage between the two families was no longer counted."

The crowd immediately gathered around and started talking about it. Gossip is human nature. Look at those ragged victims. When they heard this, they immediately perked up and looked curious.

"I think, this time it might be a good thing." Seeing that people were surrounding him, the man became more and more interested, and his saliva splashed on Chan Yi's face.

Chan Yi pursed her lips and moved aside. The figure of Doctor Hu suddenly flashed in her mind. If he was there, he must be a soulmate of that person. Thinking of this, she didn't know what to feel.

She finally got out of the encirclement and looked down at her palms. The blood had already coagulated. She sighed softly and stood on tiptoe to look towards Jingzhao Prefecture.

"Are you okay?" A low and concerned voice came from behind.

Chan Yi looked back and saw Pei Jin standing behind her, his dark eyes showing an ambiguous meaning.

No way, she was wearing men's clothes, how could he spot her at first sight? Chan Yi looked at him in disbelief.

"Are you stupid?" There was a hint of laughter in the man's voice, and he reached out and rubbed her head.

Chan Yi glared at him and dodged.

That's not right. Didn't he just save the girl? In the movie, the hero and heroine usually hug each other and talk about their feelings. But why did he come back so soon? Oh, I missed a good opportunity to enhance our relationship.

She couldn't help but point to the crowd to tell him that they were gossiping about him.

Pei Jin bent down slightly as if he didn't hear anything, pulled up Chan Yi's sleeve, grabbed her hand hidden in the sleeve and looked at it.

"Your hand is bleeding!" Pei Jin saw red blood oozing out from the cut on her palm. The weather was cold, and the blood and the dirt on the tree trunk had already solidified into a black mass on her palm.

"I'm fine, just a little scrape." Chan Yi pushed his hand away and forced a smile, "Go quickly, don't let anyone find you."

She had just stood there for too long, and her feet were already numb and painful from the cold, and she staggered as she was pushed and shoved.

"Chan Yi, what's wrong with your feet?" Pei Jin squatted down and touched her shoes, frowning and said, "What's wrong? Why are these shoes so thin? Those servants are really unreasonable. Why would they let you wear such shoes?"

"None of your business." Chan Yi turned her head away, not wanting to pay attention to him. "Go away. I don't want to argue with you on the street."

"Chan Yi, don't be like this, I just care about you. Your hands are bleeding. It must be very painful for you who is so afraid of pain. Don't be afraid, I will carry you to Jingzhao Prefecture to apply medicine." Pei Jin looked at the blood on her white and tender palms, half-hugged her shoulders with heartache, and picked her up without thinking.

"Hey, hey, put me down quickly." Chan Yi struggled and said, "Everyone is watching!"

Pei Jin said slowly and in a low voice, "Don't shout, if you shout, more people will come to watch."

"You... I just hurt my hand, not my leg! Put me down quickly. My second brother went to Jingzhao Prefecture to get medicine. He will be back soon. Be careful or he will beat you up." Chan Yi patted his chest and threatened.

"Don't move. Your hand is still injured. I just want to apply medicine to you." Pei Jin held her firmly around the waist with one hand and held her restless hand with the other hand. "Your feet are frozen. Don't you know it?"

"Hey, look, isn't this General Pei? Could it be that he prefers men?" The onlookers stood on the steps, picking their teeth and watching the fun.

"They are hugging each other in public like this. I wonder which mansion this young man is from. Maybe he's from a brothel. Look at him, he's so delicate and tender. I feel sorry for him." Another one echoed thoughtfully, "It seems that General Pei wants to grab both the beauty and the handsome man!"
