Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

After he left, Zheng Yue asked again: "Madam, what are you going to do? Why don't you take me to find a place to hide while the bandits have no time to pay attention to us?"

Shen Nankui looked back at the yard.

The bearded man's kung fu was quite good. He fought with the four bandits and was not at a disadvantage for the time being.

She nodded and said, "Okay, you two brothers are both injured, and we will only be in the way here. Let's find a place to hide first, and wait for the officials to arrive, and then come to help this hero!"

Hehua supported Shen Nankui and walked in front. Zheng Yue dragged his injured brother into the bushes in the garden and hid him, then followed closely behind. The three of them quietly left the yard.

Just as I reached the entrance of the alley, I met two figures head-on.

The first person came in white clothes and black hair, bathed in the moonlight. His radiant figure seemed like a god. It was Cai Ling.

"Mr. Cai?"

Shen Nankui was surprised and happy, and stood there in a daze for a moment.

She could never have imagined that she would meet Cai Ling again at this moment?

When Cai Ling saw her appearance, his brows knitted deeply and he asked hurriedly, "What happened?"

Seeing him at this moment, Shen Nankui felt an unprecedented sense of relief. He shook his head and said, "I'm fine, Mr. Cai. But why are you guys here again?"

Aren't they supposed to be in Suzhou?

Besides, the city gates had been closed for a long time, so how did they get in?

Cai Ling's eyes were filled with worry. "It's a long story. We originally went to Suzhou, but I heard that Yongzhou has been in turmoil recently. I was worried about your safety, so I came back. I entered the city at dusk, but I didn't expect that there would be a curfew as soon as I entered the city. I didn't know your current address, and I had to avoid the patrolling soldiers. I asked all the way here, and now it's time. Fortunately... I didn't come too late."

Looking at Zheng Yue's bruised and battered appearance, he felt extremely frightened and was extremely glad that he did not stay in the inn tonight but took the risk to come to find her overnight. Otherwise, if something really happened to her, he would never be able to let it go.

After learning the whole story, Shen Nankui calmed down and said hurriedly, "Mr. Cai, we were attacked tonight and were rescued by a brave man, so we were able to escape. I have asked Zhongshan to report to the authorities, but we don't know when the soldiers will arrive. I'm afraid that the brave man will have a hard time fighting four people alone. I wonder if Mr. Cai can go and help him?"

Cai Ling's eyes turned cold, "Now that I'm here, I naturally can't let go of those who dare to hurt you, but..."

He glanced at her bulging belly with some concern, "Can your body still bear it?"

Shen Nankui touched her belly, shook her head and said, "My child was very peaceful tonight and didn't cause any trouble for me as a mother. I can handle it!"

Cai Ling nodded, "That's good."

He had been practicing martial arts in the mountains since he was a child, and had always had sharp ears and eyes. He had faintly heard the sounds of fighting coming from not far away. He left Hei Niu to protect Shen Nankui, and jumped onto the roof, holding a sword and rushing towards the place where the fighting sounds came from.

He Hua, who had been nervous all night, finally relaxed at this moment. He patted his chest and said, "Great, with Mr. Cai here, we are completely safe!"

Seeing that her sleeve was torn, revealing a bloody scratch, Hei Niu quickly took out a small porcelain jar from his bosom, handed it to her and said, "Miss Hehua, your arm is injured. This is a golden wound medicine, which has the best effect of stopping bleeding and relieving pain. Please use some on the wound!"

He Hua asked happily: "You actually have such a good thing?"

It was rare to see her smiling at him. Hei Niu scratched his head and said, "When I travel with you, it's inevitable that we will encounter some bumps and bruises, so I always have medicine ready for injuries."

He Hua took the medicine and held it in his hand, then looked at him and said, "Brother Hei Niu, I won't be polite with you. I'll take this medicine first. Brother Zheng Da and Brother Zheng Er were both seriously injured, and Zhong Shan was also stabbed. This medicine should be used on them first."

Hei Niu looked at her still bleeding wound and wanted to say that he gave her this medicine specially. However, the knife wound on Zheng Yue's body was indeed several times more serious, so he did not say it and took the medicine silently.

"In that case, I will help Brother Zheng Yue apply the medicine first."

When Shen Nankui returned, the outcome of the fight in the courtyard had already been decided.

During the time they were away, the bearded man was fighting one against four people and was obviously seriously injured. At this moment, he was hiding behind Cai Ling, covering his bleeding abdomen.

Cai Ling is a martial arts expert, and with his joining, none of the four bandits on the opposite side can stand up.

He walked slowly towards the four people with a long sword in his hand. The coldness in his eyes frightened the four bandits who had fallen to the ground.

When the bandit leader saw him approaching, he shouted, "Your Excellency is a skilled martial artist. We are ashamed of ourselves. But do you know the identity of the person you are protecting behind you?"

Cai Ling didn't even pause, and looked at him as if he was looking at a dead body.

Seeing such a look, the bandit leader was horrified and said hurriedly: "He is a wanted criminal who has committed ten heinous crimes. It was him who killed the governor of Yongzhou!"

"Who he is has nothing to do with me." Cai Ling's voice was emotionless.

The bandit leader was panicked. "He killed the governor and committed murder and arson in the city. He did all kinds of evil. This kind of evil thief should be killed by everyone. I am also getting rid of harm for the people. How can you kill me because of him?"

Cai Ling said indifferently, "We are all in the same martial arts world. It has nothing to do with me who you want to kill and who you don't want to kill. But you are wrong in touching someone you shouldn't touch!"

He raised his knife and swung it down, and a thief was instantly silenced.

The bandit leader was seriously injured and could not move at the moment. Seeing that Cai Ling's next target was himself, he was surrounded by a huge sense of fear. In order to survive, he no longer cared about so much and shouted: "You can't kill me, I am..."

"You are an evil thief!"

The bearded man quickly added, "Although I have been accused of murder and arson, you all know who did these things. There are witnesses to what happened tonight, and you can't deny it even if you want to!"

Cai Ling stepped forward with his sword in hand and was about to attack when he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the entrance of the alley.

There was a curfew in the city at night. Except for government officials, no one dared to ride a horse on the street, which meant that the government soldiers had arrived.

His eyes flickered and he nodded at Shen Nankui, "They are here."

Then, he swung his sword and did not kill the bandit leader directly, but cut his tendons in his hands and feet. Then he slowly put away his sword and said coldly: "The soldiers are here. You are lucky. You can save your life today!"

But for some reason, when the bandit leader heard the soldiers coming, there was no fear in his eyes, but instead he seemed relieved.

When the bearded man heard this, he slowly moved.
