After escaping with her bestie, she became the white moonlight of the crazy prince

Sitting in front of the carriage, Yun Shu's expression changed slightly when he heard Shen Chu's words. He tightened his grip on the scabbard, then loosened it.

Your Highness won't care about this.

He doesn't need to care.

Goudan was not surprised to hear Shen Chu's answer. He had already guessed it when he saw how the two of them got along.

They must be husband and wife, otherwise they wouldn't be so close.

If they are not husband and wife, they are people who love each other.

Goudan smiled sincerely and gave his blessing from the bottom of his heart, "I hope my sister and brother-in-law will live happily ever after!"

Shen Chu, who was sitting in the carriage, found this a little funny, but he did not refute the child. He just chuckled and said, "Thank you for the blessing, Goudan."

After that, Shen Chu closed his eyes and took a nap, not knowing what happened next.

Until a noisy sound came from outside and woke her up from her sleep.

Her brows furrowed subconsciously, she lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out.

After seeing the scene outside clearly, Shen Chu frowned even more tightly and immediately lowered the curtain.

Then he asked, "Yun Shu, what's going on outside?"

What she saw just now was full of people, and surrounding them were soldiers in armor.

The soldier held up his sword and whispered threats to the crowd that surrounded him.

Outside the soldiers were people in tattered clothes, arguing and talking about something.

Shen Chu didn't hear a single word.

One can only judge from the expressions of these people that what they said was probably not good.

After all, the expressions on their faces were ferocious, as if they wanted to tear these soldiers to pieces.

But they had no tools in their hands, so they could only shout and shout loudly, trying to vent their anger through roaring.

Hearing Shen Chu's words, Yun Shu answered her, "There are disaster victims blocking the road."

what?

Disaster victims?

Didn’t they say there were bandits before?

Instead of encountering the bandits, I encountered... the disaster victims?

Shen Chu's expression was not very good. Just as she was about to say something else, a hard object came from outside and hit her nose. If it was a little closer, just a little bit closer, a blood mark would appear on her face.

"Miss Shen!"

Shen Chu's expression was a little dull as he watched the mud-covered stone fall to the ground with his eyes open.

What's happening here?

She came back to her senses from her daze and responded to Yun Shu's call, "I'm fine."

Although her voice was a little uneasy, it didn't sound like anything was wrong.

Yun Shu pulled open the curtain of the carriage and met Shen Chu's somewhat panicked eyes. The sword that had been unsheathed was immediately drawn out.

"If you do it again, don't blame me for being rude."

The cold and shiny sword blade reflected a cold light, and Yun Shu's expression was extremely ugly.

After these words were spoken, the noisy crowd finally quieted down a bit, their eyes fixed on Yun Shu who was sitting in front of the carriage.

What really made these people stop was not the words Yun Shu shouted loudly, but the long sword he drew.

These people are afraid of death.

But this is not accurate.

Because there was no fear in the eyes of these people, only silence.

The reason they stopped suddenly was probably because they didn't want Yun Shu to ruin their goal.

Shen Chu picked up the stone that fell into the carriage, lifted the curtain again, and looked out.

This time, the scene she saw was no different from before.

These people were still staring at her, their silence chilling.

Xie Ming in front also encountered the same situation as Shen Chu.

His face was cold, and his sinister gaze swept over the people around him one by one. His voice was also terribly cold, "What do you mean by this?"

Perhaps guessing that Xie Ming's identity was unusual, these disaster victims did not dare to shout and yell like they did to Shen Chu and the others. They just looked at Xie Ming in silence. After a long time, someone took the lead and said, "Can you give us something to eat?"

Even though he had already guessed the purpose of these people, Xie Ming couldn't help but frown when he heard these words coming out of their mouths.

Is the situation already so critical?

Do even ordinary people have to rely on robbery to get food?

Xie Ming didn't speak for a long time, but finally he sighed and ordered the stored food to be distributed to these people.

Seeing that they really had something to gain, the people who had been expressionless before showed expressions of ecstasy. They did not even wait for Xie Ming's people to hand the things to them, and started to grab them directly.

He wished all the distributed food could go into his own pocket.

Seeing this, Xie Ming's expression became even uglier. He stared at the scene in front of him in silence. After thinking of something, he got off his horse and walked to the back.

Then he saw Shen Chu's carriage surrounded by disaster victims.

Seeing this scene, Xie Ming's pace immediately quickened and he called out Shen Chu's name:

"Chu'er!"

Hearing someone calling him again, Shen Chu walked a few steps outside, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and stuck his head out.

Although she had recognized Xie Ming's voice, she was still a little surprised when she actually saw him.

She opened her mouth, her voice so soft that only she could hear it.

"Your Highness..."

Why is Xie Ming here?

Why did he come here?

Shen Chu's heart was full of doubts, but after seeing the anxious expression on Xie Ming's face, it seemed as if everything had been answered.

Because I was worried about her.

Xie Ming came to the rear because he was worried about her.

Holding the curtain tightly, Shen Chu spoke again, "Your Highness, why are you here?"

Yunshu is here, so nothing will happen to her.

Xie Ming looked at her with a serious expression, "Did they do anything rash?"

Hearing this question, Shen Chu subconsciously wanted to say no, but Yun Shu spoke before her.

"Someone threw a stone, but it probably didn't hit Miss Shen."

Otherwise, they wouldn't be in such a tense confrontation now, but would just draw their swords against each other.

Xie Ming's expression was already ugly, and after hearing Yun Shu's words, it became even uglier. He looked at the people gathered in front of him with cold eyes and asked word by word, "Who lost it?"

The atmosphere was extremely quiet. No one spoke, only the interweaving sounds of breathing of varying lengths could be heard.

After an unknown amount of time, someone finally spoke.

"I lost it."

He was an old man with white hair and even his beard was gray.

He walked up to the crowd holding a tattered branch, stood in front of Xie Ming and looked into his eyes.

"If you need anything, just come to me."

His voice was old, and his cloudy eyes looked back and forth between Xie Ming and Shen Chu who had stuck his head out.

There was no sign of fear.

Xie Ming snatched the sword from Yun Shu's hand, suppressing his anger in his voice, "Aren't you afraid of death?"

"Old man, my son was trying to repair a collapsed house and was crushed to death by a broken beam. When my daughter-in-law learned about this, she became depressed and eventually died."

"My grandson has nothing to eat and is dying of starvation. There's no point in leaving me, an old man, alive. I'll just die."
