Quick Transmigration: Leisure

For an instant.

Three guards, seeing that the thief was unharmed, surrounded him.

He made a gesture of respect, but didn't lower the knife in his hand. Xia Youmi was now unable to defend herself. She could only hope that he didn't intend to hurt her, but unfortunately, she had misjudged the situation.

Before Jia Qi, the fake guard connected to Dan Ruo, could make a move, another person beside him suddenly attacked.

The sharp tip of the knife was pointed directly at Song Ningqian's chest.

"The princess!"

"careful!"

puff--

"The Elixir!"

Xia Youmi didn't have time to appreciate Dan Guo's heroic posture before launching a sneak attack on the fake guards who had let their guard down.

This time it was real swords, and she could only withstand a few attacks.

But it's enough.

The heroes at the banquet finally realized what was happening. Those with some skill grabbed their weapons and charged forward.

The three thieves were held down firmly.

The situation was a little chaotic, with everyone talking at once. Fortunately, a doctor was on site and stepped forward to stop Dango's bleeding.

Dango risked his life to save others, but was slashed in the shoulder.

The princess was covered in cold sweat and helped her benefactor up.

"Princess, it's alright now."

Offer a few words of gentle comfort.

However, Xia Youmi dared not relax, fearing that the enemy might have infiltrated this group.

If it were her, she would do the same.

Leaving no way out.

"Little sister!"

A terrified cry came from behind him; it was Wang Shaoyan. He hadn't joined in the commotion and had remained at the table until he heard the familiar voice.

Wang Shaoyan strode forward and supported Xia Youmi's shoulder, and she slowly slumped down.

He made sure to look scared.

"Second brother!"

"What's going on here?" Wang Shaoyan glanced at the three frail women who seemed out of place at the banquet, and the three guards who were being held down.

Xia Youmi looked at the curious crowd and weakly spoke:

"The guards were bribed by a villain to assassinate the princess."

"Could you please ask some kind young man to go to the county government office and invite someone over?"

Her feigned frailty actually fooled several strong men who hadn't witnessed her fighting. They all agreed to go and report her to the authorities.

Those with some sense knew to fawn over the princess and inquire about her well-being.

Then, Xia Youmi's gentle and frail appearance was seen by Zhao Xin and the others who had arrived.

The group of constables who usually fought against her all stared wide-eyed.

Xia Youmi straightened up, about to step forward and question him.

"County Commandant Zhao, you've arrived very quickly."

Behind Zhao Xin were the two guards whose weapons she had disarmed, now lying limp and powerless.

"We caught up with them."

Zhao Xin pointed helplessly in another direction, to the place where they had just started preparing for their picnic.

"We couldn't find you anywhere, and we thought you had fallen down."

"Yes, if it weren't for the people searching this way finding these two cowards by the roadside, we probably would have had to go down the cliff to look for them."

The constable chimed in honestly, but that didn't stop Xia Youmi from rolling her eyes inwardly.

If we really have to rely on them, we'll probably have to go down the mountain to fish for them.

"Go back to the county office and tell them."

"Have you seen Danruo?"

Zhao Xin shook his head, somewhat regretful. He always seemed to be tripped up at the most crucial moments. If Xia Youmi hadn't been able to withstand a few blows, he would have truly been buried with her.

They had clearly made very thorough preparations.

It seems there's a mole involved.

Meanwhile, Danruo lured away several guards who hadn't been bribed. Waiting in vain for a signal of success, she could only send someone to lead the supplies up the mountain. She then knocked out the coachman, seized a horse, and fled.

Those few real guards even misled the constables about the direction of their support.

After relocating the carriage, someone was sent to escort the princess and Danguo back to the Song residence.

Xia Youmi comforted his second brother and then went to the county government office with Zhao Xin.

Both the real and fake guards were taken away for questioning.

The key point is the one who colluded with Danruo.

......

Qinrenfang, the county magistrate's office.

Zhao Xin slumped to the head of the table, speechless for a moment.

Xia Youmi didn't tolerate him. While recounting what had happened, she harshly criticized their delay.

"I was negligent."

Although there were many reasons, Zhao Xin didn't argue further. If Dan Guo hadn't taken the blow, the consequences would have been unpredictable.

"You should also bring some people with you."

"Sneak attacks can't always be successful."

Xia Youmi has lost her proper sitting posture.

He responded in a low voice, realizing he had already been drawn into the situation and should indeed prepare more ways to protect himself.

"Let's go back first and check on the injury."

"It won't be completed in a short time."

"it is good......"

Xia Youmi bowed and withdrew, and just as she turned around, she saw Song Heng walking over. He must have rushed back to find out what was going on.

When you meet someone important, you can only bow and greet them before waiting for their decision.

"Take it."

Unexpectedly, Song Heng handed over a porcelain bottle.

"Go back and rest first."

"The coachman is waiting outside the county government office; we'll talk about the rest tomorrow."

He paused for a moment, then accepted it with both hands. It was a top-quality wound medicine. He didn't have time to thank it.

Seeing her dazed expression, Song Heng didn't say anything more. He turned and began questioning Zhao Xin.

Xia Youmi made a swift exit.

Hehe, I was still riding in a horse-drawn carriage.

Until she got home, until her mother cried incessantly, until she saw her own reflection in the bronze mirror.

Only then did I understand why the wound medicine had been bestowed upon me.

Several fine cuts were crisscrossed on her face. In her opinion, these small cuts would have healed on their own if they hadn't been treated any later.

But in Mother's eyes, it was a matter of utmost importance!

She could only try her best to comfort her crying mother, who was applying medicine, while whispering that she was fine and not seriously injured.

In other words, her foot was a little swollen, her hand was sprained, she had a few minor knife wounds, and some small scrapes from her own body.

He fell asleep while talking.

Wang Xiu gently stroked her daughter's hair, overwhelmed with emotion. If she let her be, she might not be able to protect her. If she found her a husband, she feared it would only trap her.

Being a loving mother is difficult.

A dreamless night.

Xia Youmi woke up feeling incredibly satisfied. Upon examining her wounds, she suddenly realized she had overused the wound medicine. It was truly effective; it even helped her sleep.

Seeing Wu Zi chopping firewood in the courtyard, he realized that Wu Zi was nimble and it was time for him to graduate.

My second brother did not return home last night, so I did not explain what happened to him.

After we finished eating, I went to the county government office with my uncle.

Zhao Xin was nowhere to be seen at the county magistrate's office. Xia Youmi sat down at the desk and began her painting project.

First came the five thief guards, Danruo Danguo, the coachman, the guards who had been lured away, and some people from the banquet.

She made a list.

Then, according to their importance, they quickly put pen to paper.

Since she began teaching herself to draw, besides regular meticulous brushwork, she has practiced figure sketching the most. Using a special charcoal pencil, efficiency is key. Not every case can afford to wait for detailed depiction.

In addition, it's about practicing speed.

Zhang Gong once expressed his dissatisfaction, saying that it would be difficult to make progress by learning in this way.

However, circumstances are beyond our control.

At noon, I had a simple meal of steamed buns, and my hand was basically still holding the pen.

Xia Youmi has one great advantage – she knows how to adapt to changing circumstances.

Yesterday, she should have started working immediately after returning to the county government office. However, Zhao Xin and Song Heng clearly showed some consideration, and they are probably still running around right now.

Sure enough, it was early Shen Shi (3-5 PM).

They finally met Zhao Xin, whose face was covered in dark energy. He was still dressed as he had been the day before, exuding an aura that made him unapproachable.

He probably spent the night in the interrogation room.

"how?"

“He refuses to admit it to the death. Jia Qi denies the crime of assassinating the princess.”

"Were the guards he bribed?"

"Yes."

"Then they turned the tables on us. They used the pretext of participating in the kidnapping to take advantage of the situation and carry out a dirty trick."

"They are suicide soldiers."
