Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

"Second Master!"

When Ye Zhen took the first step out of the barrier, she nearly fell because her legs were weak and she stepped on her skirt.

It felt like the wound in my heart had just stopped bleeding, and before I had time to breathe, I was stabbed again.

What's even more terrible is that the person coming from Hanzhou is not Yao Lingchuan, but Yao Zhaoan's master with a team of soldiers, pointing at Ye Zhen from a distance, "Master wants her head."

Yun Zhui and two Taoist boys blocked the way while Ye Zhen set up the carriage and took Li Xuan away, taking out the flare from him.

When the purple fireworks exploded, the master's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. "If we can't kill her, we have to kill the master's attendant, otherwise the master will be finished!"

The sounds of fierce fighting behind him were gradually replaced by the sound of the wind. Ye Zhen's hands holding the reins couldn't stop trembling. The dark road had no end and no direction.

The cold wind rushed into my throat, cutting my flesh like a knife, and it hurt so much that I even found it difficult to breathe.

After running for an unknown amount of time, the horse was too tired to move and the wheels were stuck by stones. Ye Zhen held Li Xuan'an's head tightly, fearing that he would bump into something.

Fortunately, the official road was wide and the horses were parked on the side of the road, so there wasn't much shaking.

But Ye Zhen still felt something warm on the back of her hand. Her first reaction was that it was Li Xuan's blood. She looked carefully at his cheek in the moonlight and saw no blood. Then she realized that she had cried without knowing when.

In his previous life, he was tortured to the point of being ruined, and was even strangled to death by Li Chengge, but he only felt unwilling and resentful, and never cried.

At this moment, she was holding Li Xuan, her heart and eyes were filled with unknown anxiety. She had no other choice but to cry.

After a while, Ye Zhen wiped away her tears and checked Li Xuan'an's body again. She found two small cuts on his waist. It must be because he applied blood in time that no large amount of blood seeped out.

She had to find a place to treat his wound. There were medicine and gauze in the carriage!

Ye Zhen got out of the car and looked around. It wasn't completely uninhabited, but there was a small temple not far away. Even with only a few lights, it gave her hope.

She drove Li Xuan along the narrow path for about half an hour before reaching the small temple.

However, after entering the room, she met a pair of terrifying eyes and shuddered subconsciously, "This..."

She wanted to call him Taoist, but which Taoist has scars and lingering blood on his face, and there is some kind of meat roasted on the fire in front of him that is still bleeding...

There was still some mud-colored Taoist robe left in the fire.

Ye Zhen's face turned purple, and she avoided the man's gaze, "Sorry, I won't bother you anymore, I'll leave now."

The knife in the man's hand immediately stabbed into the flesh, "Wait!"

Ye Zhen's palms were sweating, but she remained calm as she helped Li Xuan sit down by the door.

The man held a candle and deliberately shone it in front of her for a long time. When he saw Ye Zhen's face clearly, the lustful aura on his face suddenly emerged, "Young lady, this... half-dead man is your man?"

Ye Zhen was even more displeased when she heard this word, "Yes."

The scarred man stroked his beard and said, "The pretty boy is not in good health. It's fate that we met. Why don't you follow me? It's better than being with this sickly guy."

He almost treated Li Xuan as a dead man, and raised his hand to touch Ye Zhen's face, but she easily dodged him.

The scarred man immediately turned cold, "If you behave yourself, we can talk it out. If you refuse to serve me, you will suffer."

Ye Zhen's eyelashes trembled violently and her shoulders trembled. She wanted to run but didn't dare to, and wanted to scream but didn't dare to. This was exactly the reaction of a good girl falling into the hands of a bad guy.

The scarred man became more excited when he saw her like this. Although his stomach was growling with hunger before, now he just wanted to eat this young lady first.

"Don't be afraid. It's so late. You must be hungry dragging a half-dead person here."

Ye Zhen pretended to glance at the greasy meat behind him.

"As long as you listen to me, I'll give you enough meat to eat!"

The scarred man grabbed Ye Zhen's left wrist and pulled him in. Ye Zhen stared at the back of his neck exposed to the air, his murderous intent revealed.

The other party could never have imagined that such a delicate and weak woman would dare to kill someone. Therefore, after the scarred man was stabbed in the spine, he did not collapse to the ground instantly, but turned his head stiffly.

Ye Zhen thought that her strength was not enough, and suddenly all the hairs on her body stood up. She broke free from his hand and tried to escape.

"stop!"

The scarred man snorted coldly and tried to pull out the thing on the spine, but his arm was injured when he killed someone just now, so he couldn't pull it back. At the same time, his body began to lose strength, which made the scarred man both frightened and angry. He waved his arms and smashed the temple platform to pieces, even scratching the statues.

Ye Zhen stood outside not daring to breathe. She wanted to run, but her legs were weak. Not to mention running, she didn't even have the strength to help Li Xuan up. Her right hand tightly grasped the remaining silver needles, shaking like a sieve.

Gradually, the scarred man lost control of his limbs and stumbled towards Ye Zhen. The paralysis of his spinal nerves prevented him from making an expression of hatred, only a face that was distorted to the extreme.

He had barely moved half a step when his huge body fell into the fire.

He couldn't even scream, only his hands and feet kept twitching. Ye Zhen felt his stomach churning as he watched this scene, and he vomited for a long time but nothing came out.

The fire was partially extinguished when the scarred man smashed it, but the fire was also burning because the flesh fell into it and the oil and water moistened the sparks for a while, but in just this short moment, half of the scarred man's face was burned.

Ye Zhen really didn't have the energy to clean up the situation. She first treated Li Xuan'an's wound, then found a bowl of water on the altar and moistened his lips with her fingers.

The Jinyiwei should be here soon.

Ye Zhen didn't know that Li Xuan was secretly bringing the Jinyiwei with him. It was when she was looking for clean clothes for Yao Zhaoan at his house that she saw the flare in the closet.

Fortunately she saw it.

Li Xuan slept relatively soundly. Ye Zhen planned to return the bowl and thank the gods at the same time.

However, when I got closer, I saw clearly that the statue was Li Xuan'an! It was not exquisite, but the spirit was well done. Unfortunately, the robe was scratched by the scarred man.

She took a look around and found that the temple was really small, with only one room, an open-air stove and a simple thatched hut next to it.

Ye Zhen felt sad when she thought of the Taoist robe in the ashes.

When I turned back, I saw a few lines of crooked words on the wall next to the statue. I learned that the person who built the temple and the statue was called Li Tao. Three years ago, he fell ill and was driven out by his wife and daughter. When he was waiting to die on the roadside, he met Li Xuan and escaped from death.

However, when he returned, he found that his wife had remarried, his daughter had changed her surname, and the family property had been taken over by another man. In a rage, he killed his wife, daughter and the adulterer. After escaping, he felt guilty about the national master's rescue, so he spent all his family wealth to build a small temple, sculpted a statue of the national master, and burned three incense sticks every morning and evening to repent.

Unfortunately, he couldn't escape the retribution of sudden death in the end.

Ye Zhen sighed as she watched, all living beings suffer and all seek help from the Imperial Master.

But who can relieve Li Xuan’an’s suffering?

Who was that Taoist priest just now? Why did he make the usually calm and indifferent Imperial Master look so hateful and murderous?

What about the robbery and murder that happened to him when he was twelve years old?

Ye Zhen stayed with Li Xuan, wrapped him tightly with the thin blanket in the carriage, looked at his delicate and pale face, and murmured, "Second Master, I have a lot of questions to ask you, but I think you would rather I know nothing."

"How can I help you if I don't know anything? How can I help you?"

"You protected me from disasters, but you were often hurt because of me. I..." She leaned gently on Li Xuan'an's shoulder, "Let me help you, okay?"
