She picked up the young prime minister while fleeing famine

Overwhelmed with grief, he realized that he was responsible for the deaths of his grandfather, parents, uncles, and aunts.

Because of the legend of the son of the Qilin, he caused the death of his entire family.

Lian Chengmo was overwhelmed with self-blame and did not notice the vicious look that flashed across the face of the guard leader after he cried out. He groped around in the shadows with one hand, grabbed something, and shot it fiercely at Lian Chengmo.

"Lian Chengmo, be careful!" Banxia rushed over without thinking.

She was just breathing a sigh of relief, celebrating her narrow escape, when she heard Lian Chengmo drop a bombshell. When she looked up and saw the head guard's actions, she instinctively wanted to push Lian Chengmo away.

"Ah!" A childish cry, unique to girls, escaped Banxia's lips. She clutched her shoulder and cried out in pain before collapsing to the ground.

Lian Chengmo turned around and saw that Banxia had a dagger stuck in her shoulder.

The two were not much different in height, so after Lian Chengmo was pushed away, the dagger that was originally aimed at his heart missed its target and instead stabbed Banxia in the shoulder.

"You deserve to die!" Lian Chengmo's pupils widened in disbelief at first, but when he came to his senses, he pulled out the knife from the head guard and slashed fiercely at the man's neck.

one more time.

Before long, the head guard was decapitated and left without a trace of life.

"Quickly, Banxia is injured! Take her back to see Doctor Li!" Yao Dazhuang and Yao Daniu rushed over.

"Lian Chengmo, Lian Chengmo, calm down. Let's go back first. It's not safe here." Banxia called out to the seemingly crazed boy even as Yao Dani picked her up.

Seeing that Lian Chengmo was completely ignoring him, Yao Dazhuang rushed over to pull him away, only to be met with Lian Chengmo's scarlet, murderous eyes and the long sword that he had half-swung but barely managed to stop.

"Young master, it's me..." Yao Dazhuang froze. Good heavens, the young master's eyes looked like he wanted to devour him.

"Go!" Lian Chengmo almost accidentally injured Yao Dazhuang. After regaining his senses, he sheathed his knife, picked up the guard leader's sword, and turned to leave.

Afraid of delaying Banxia's treatment, Yao Daniu had already carried her back quickly, and Lian Chengmo pursed his lips and hurried after him.

On the contrary, Yao Dazhuang, now that he had no cover, clearly saw the dead body of the guard leader. He shuddered and quickly turned to chase after the main force.

Banxia was chased down the mountain to almost the back of where she had come up, so Lian Chengmo found her when he heard the noise during the chaos, once the situation had stabilized a bit.

There were no roads here, and it was difficult to walk, but that was precisely why Banxia was able to survive in such a perilous situation under the guards' leader. If it were a flat, open place, she would have been dead long ago.

By the time the group had made their way back to camp through the bushes and weeds at the foot of the mountain, it was already pitch black. The few refugees around had long since left, leaving only Yao Li Village with several bonfires burning brightly.

"Where is Doctor Li? Quickly, take a look at Banxia!" Lian Chengmo ran ahead of Yao Daniu and shouted towards the camp.

"Here, here, I'm here!" Upon hearing this, Doctor Li hurriedly dropped the wounded man he was holding and ran towards the outer perimeter.

Just now, Yao Lizheng immediately chose to help Lian Chengmo after a moment's thought. He asked all the able-bodied men in the village to come forward and help, while the women and children retreated in groups.

So, although the thirty guards sent by the Liancheng family were very powerful, they were no match for the master. The Yao Li Village had a large number of people and great strength, and with Lian Chengmo shooting the poison arrows, they killed all thirty men in no time.

However, Yao Li Village's fighting strength was lower, and their weapons were not as effective as the enemy's, so they suffered some losses. Fortunately, they were all external injuries, and no one lost their life.

Originally, those people could only kill Lian Chengmo with one blow when he got close, but they did not expect that Lian Chengmo had a poisoned arrow that could kill instantly, and that the people of Yao Li Village would fight to the death to protect him.

Even in death, the guards couldn't understand why.

They couldn't understand why Yao Li Village, a village of military households, had finally escaped their place of service and only wanted to live a good life so that their descendants wouldn't suffer.

But right now, neither Vietnam Prefecture nor Hoa Duong Prefecture is safe to go. Several self-proclaimed kings are fighting against the court, and there seems to be no safe place anywhere.

Therefore, Yao Lizheng was still hoping that Lian Chengmo would lead them to find a secluded place to survive, choosing the lesser of two evils.

Since they didn't want to live outside anyway, they might as well go all the way and rescue the young master first.

Not long after, when Yao Lizheng saw the place Lian Chengmo had chosen for him, he almost burst into tears. Of course, that's a story for later.

In short, Yao Lizheng made the right decision. After confirming that there was no risk among the few remaining people, Lian Chengmo hurriedly went to find Banxia.

Fearing something might happen, Yao Dahe sent his younger brothers, Yao Dazhuang and Yao Daniu, to go with him.

Lian Chengmo remembered the direction of Banxia's faint voice and immediately chased after it.

After circling around half the foot of the mountain to the place where Banxia was chased down the mountain, he followed the trail there.

At that time, Banxia was frantically trying to escape the pursuit of the head guard. It was Lian Chengmo who remained calm and slowly approached the two of them, which allowed him to deliver a fatal blow at the crucial moment and save Banxia.

Unexpectedly, the person had hidden a dagger, and Lian Chengmo almost fell victim to it.

Lian Chengmo helped Banxia sit up, carefully letting her lean against him. Watching Doctor Li remove the knife from Banxia, ​​he felt extremely guilty. How could he have been so absorbed in his past mistakes and lost his focus?

His grandfather and the others are no longer here, and no matter how much pain he suffers, he can't bring them back. If he loses his life, how can he avenge them?

And the little girl, she actually risked her life to save him, how could she be so reckless?

He doesn't deserve it at all...

Lian Chengmo was overwhelmed with mixed feelings. He could only clench his fists tightly, his nails digging into his soft palms, unaware that drops of blood were falling into the soil beneath his feet.

His shout startled Qi Sanshui's family and several children. Ignoring the adults' attempts to stop them, they all rushed over to check on Banxia's injuries.

Even Qi Lei was carried over by his father to watch from the outside.

"May Buddha protect us, please don't let anything happen to Banxia!" Wu silently shed tears, clasping her hands together in prayer to the heavens.

The Qi brothers all squatted in front of Banxia, ​​looking at their eldest sister/cousin with teary eyes. They were all on the verge of crying but dared not make a sound for fear of disturbing the doctor's treatment.

First, Physician Li examined the wound, and was so shocked that he hissed in surprise. After confirming it several times, he began to prepare to draw his knife.

"Banxia, ​​it will hurt a lot in a while. Bite down on this handkerchief so you don't hurt yourself," said Doctor Li, taking out his own handkerchief.

Banxia looked at the handkerchief and hesitated to take a bite.

"Bite my arm." Lian Chengmo quickly offered his arm, knowing that the little girl was actually very clean.
