The Time Traveling Anchor and Her Eight Hundred Fence-Sitters

The black bear didn't know who hit it. It turned around with its teeth bared, and looked angrily at the big tree where Li Peiyan and Zhao Mianmian were hiding.

At this time, Zhao Mianmian was taking off her other shoe and handed it to Li Peiyan with trembling hands.

"There's only this one left, use it sparingly..."

Zhao Mianmian muttered softly.

She glanced at the Nanzhu on the shoes, and saw two system prompts flashing on the public screen, her face full of pain.

I thought to myself that I had finally earned 200 gold coins, and now I lost them all. It was really... a huge loss!!!

The audience in the live broadcast room saw it and laughed at her in the comments:

[Hahahaha, anchor, you made a hundred taels from Liang Yuanzhao, and then you put another two hundred gold coins in. You are doing really good business!]

[What's the loss? Liang Yuanzhao's life is not worth two beads? Besides, you saved Liang Yuanzhao, and the Ning Wangfu will give you a thank-you gift. It must be more than the gold coins you exchanged for these two beads! ]

[Forget it, the anchor only gave out two shoes. The one who saved the man was Li Peiyan. This thank-you gift cannot be given to her! ]

[Wait, let’s not talk about the thank-you gift for now. What do you think will happen if the host’s father knows about what happened today…]

[The anchor’s living father? ? ? Ah? Who is it? ? ]

[Master Xiao of Xiao Haizhou, didn’t the anchor call him dad last time? Tsk tsk, one wants to kill, the other wants to save, I’m afraid this feud is going to get bigger in the future! ]

Zhao Mianmian:

【…】

Zhao Mianmian had just lost two hundred gold coins, and after hearing what was said in the barrage, he regretted even more that he had coveted the jade today.

But it's already this time, there's no use regretting, I can only bite the bullet and deal with the black bear first.

After Zhao Mianmian handed over the shoes, Li Peiyan made a gesture to Wu You and Ji Ruanping.

Li Peiyan's aim was very good. He first used one shoe to lure the black bear to turn its head, and then he used all his strength to smash the second shoe out.

The second shoe hit the black bear's eye squarely.

Although it had no lethality, the black bear was furious. It threw Liang Yuanzhao aside and ran towards the big tree where the two were, making a "bang bang bang" sound.

Wu You and Ji Ruanping saw the opportunity, quickly slid down from the small tree, rushed to the boulder as fast as they could, then each of them carried Liang Yuanzhao, whose legs were weak, and took him out of the black bear's attack range.

The black bear had lost his "home" and was hit twice in vain, but in the end, he didn't catch the "murderer". He was so angry that he ran around in the woods.

Wu You and Ji Ruanping finally managed to get Liang Yuanzhao onto the tree. They were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe. They could only hold on to the branches tightly and wait for it to finish its fire.

Finally, after half an hour, the black bear let out its anger and slowly moved its huge body towards the depths of the woods.

Only when the black bear disappeared from their sight and would never appear again did they breathe a sigh of relief and smile bitterly, feeling relieved that they had survived a disaster.

In the darkness, someone said:

"I will never come to Yiping Mountain again!"

**

Zhao Mianmian and Li Peiyan stayed in the tree all night. When it was just dawn, someone finally came to find them.

The first to find the few people were the Jingji Guards.

After the Jingjiwei confirmed that the five children were all fine, they fired two flares into the air.

The sound of the arrow pierced through the night sky. It was extremely harsh, but it gave people an inexplicable sense of peace.

The Jingji Guards acted quickly and brought a guide with them. They got everyone out of Jiping Mountain in less than an hour.

Although Ji Ruanping and his companions felt that they did not walk very far, the terrain in the mountains was complex and uneven, so it was easy to get lost.

No one expected that a few half-grown children could bypass the forest area and walk into the sparsely populated hinterland of Jiping Mountain.

After learning that several children were missing, the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not dare to delay and immediately reported the matter to Grand Tutor Xiao. Grand Tutor Xiao then asked the emperor for instructions, and only then did he receive an oral order, allowing the Jingji Guards to go into the mountains to search for people.

After almost a whole day and night of hard work, they finally found Ji Ruanping and the others and brought them out of Jiping Mountain.

When Zhao Mianmian followed everyone out of the forest, there were already many people waiting outside.

Among them, the Ning Wang Mansion has the largest presence.

Prince Ning, Princess Ning, even the Crown Prince's Consort Su Ruoyao and Princess Jingyang Liang Yufu, who seemed to be at odds with each other, were waiting there, looking haggard and as if they had not slept all night.

Many people were also dispatched from the Mansion of the Marquis of Chengyi and the Ji family of the Minister of Zongzheng Temple. Almost all of them were waiting for the Jingji Guards to bring the people out of Jiping Mountain.

However, not many people came to Li Peiyan's house, except for a housekeeper and the servant boy he usually brought with him.

But this is understandable, as Li Peiyan's identity is special.

His parents and brothers were far away in the southwest, and his nearest aunt was also in the palace.

Not to mention that Concubine Li was out of touch with the news in the palace, she might not even know about Li Peiyan's disappearance from Jiping Paddock.

Even if she knew, what could she do? She couldn't be like the Wu family and the Ji family, who could appear whenever Li Peiyan needed them and support him.

Li Peiyan was used to such things and did not feel lost.

He just smiled, glanced at Zhao Mianmian who was being hugged and coaxed by Qin Shuyu, then put on the cloak brought by the butler and walked towards the carriage parked outside in silence.

However, before Li Peiyan could board the carriage, he suddenly heard someone raise his voice in the crowd, questioning:

"Aren't you guys in the small enclosure? Why did you go to the depths of Jiping Mountain for no reason?"

Zhao Mianmian didn't know who was speaking. She only knew that as soon as that person said that, the noisy surroundings suddenly became silent, and even a pin drop could be heard clearly.

Ji Ruanping was stunned by Ji Geng's question. He looked at Wu You, then at Liang Yuanzhao, and was just about to tell the truth.

The young lady of the He family, who had looked calm just now, suddenly fell to the ground and started howling without caring about anything.

“Wow~~~~~~~~”

"Brother Yuan Zhao lost, he cheated and insisted on taking us into the woods!!"

"Wow, wow, the little bunny is gone, the little lamb is gone, there are only trees! How scary!!!"

"woo woo woo woo……"

Zhao Mianmian's crying voice resounded through the sky, shocking Ji Ruanping and Liang Yuanzhao.

Especially Ji Ruanping, who knew he almost said the wrong thing and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Although these little kids are young and don't have any skills or common sense to save their lives, they still know what they can and cannot say through what they have been exposed to.

The black-clad man that the few people met in the small enclosure had an unknown origin and his behavior was too strange.

No one can tell whether they really want to kill people or have some ulterior motive.

But no matter what the other party's purpose is, exposing the matter in front of everyone at this time will undoubtedly cause a bloody storm in this capital city.

By then, the political situation will be turbulent and everyone will be in danger. The consequences will be beyond their imagination!

Thinking of Ji Ruanping and Liang Yuanzhao, I felt scared again.

When Liang Yuanzhao saw Zhao Mianmian crying in grievance, he whispered a few words in King Ning's ear. After getting King Ning's approval, he simply admitted his "mistake".

Liang Yuanzhao walked over with a red face, took off the jade pendant he was wearing, stuffed it into Zhao Mianmian's palm, and said hesitantly:

"Okay, okay, it's all my fault. Don't cry anymore. I'll give you the jade as compensation."

A huge system prompt popped up on the public screen:

【Gold Coin+5000】

Zhao Mianmian stopped crying upon seeing this, and hid behind Qin Shuyu with a smile on her face while wiping her nose.
