Transmigration: I, the Dragon Overlord, start by protecting my beautiful bride!

These spheres landed at Jiang Beichuan's feet and exploded with a "bang" before he could react. This time, however, it wasn't a sleeping potion, but a burst of dazzling light!

He was so blinded by the glare that he couldn't open his eyes, and his ears were ringing.

Seeing that the black-clad assassins inside the Xuanhuang Temple, along with the assassins hidden among the villagers outside, were about to work together to capture Jiang Beichuan, who had no chance of escape.

At the critical moment, Long Aotian, his face covered, arrived on horseback. He charged straight at one of the men, knocking him over, and then, holding up Dong Fuguang's waist badge, shouted, "Dong Fuguang, the Left Commander of the Huayi Prefecture, is here! You thieves, why don't you surrender?!"

Upon hearing the name of Dong Fuguang, the Left Commander of the Huayi Mansion, the thieves were visibly taken aback.

Jiang Beichuan, who was inside the Xuanhuang Temple, recognized Long Aotian's voice. Taking advantage of their momentary daze, he grabbed the little doctor's hand and ran outside!

He fought his way through the battles with the little divine doctor, and finally managed to get on another horse brought by Long Aotian. The three of them rode away in a long gallop.

The thieves chased after them, but seeing that Long Aotian and his two companions had already gone far away, and then glancing at the villagers who were watching the show from the sidelines, they quickly drew their knives and left...

"call……"

The three rode their horses all the way and soon hid near the west gate of Qianzhou City.

This place is only a hundred paces away from the West Gate. If anyone dares to commit violence here, the soldiers guarding the gate will immediately wipe them out!

Long Aotian dismounted in front of a tea stall, rubbed his backside, and said, "Riding a horse is completely different from what I imagined. It's so bumpy..."

Jiang Beichuan also dismounted with the little divine doctor and sat down next to Long Aotian.

"Sir, aren't we going back to the Town Night Guard?" Jiang Beichuan looked around worriedly and said, "What if the thieves come after us again...?"

Long Aotian waved his hand and said, "If we go back now, it will definitely attract attention. Besides, we are not far from the city gate guards. If those thieves really dare to make a move here, then I will respect them as men of courage."

Hearing Long Aotian say this, Jiang Beichuan and the Little Divine Doctor reluctantly sat down.

The three of them ordered a pot of tea and some fried dough sticks.

"I am truly grateful to Lord Shen and Lord Jiang for saving my life today." The young doctor looked at Long Aotian and Jiang Beichuan.

"How do you know our names?" Long Aotian asked, somewhat surprised.

The young healer didn't say anything upon hearing this, but silently removed the veil she was wearing.

When the veil was removed, revealing the little doctor's true face, both Long Aotian and Jiang Beichuan were startled.

"Miss Shi, how could it be you?" Jiang Beichuan looked at Shi Yiguang and asked in surprise.

"I see. So the disciple of the Medicine Saint that those thieves mentioned is Miss Shi, who went out to study medicine with her master when she was young."

“Lord Shen is right. My master is an old friend of the Shi family,” Shi Yiguang said. “Later, my family fell into decline, and my father had no choice but to send me to my master to learn medicine. Firstly, it was because it was not very convenient for a girl like me to go anywhere in Qianzhou City. Following my master would allow me to learn skills and live more freely. Secondly, it was also because I had talent in this area, which is why my father chose to send me instead of my sister.”

Upon hearing this, both Long Aotian and Jiang Beichuan nodded.

"But please keep this a secret from my sister," Shi Yiguang continued. "She doesn't actually owe me anything..."

"Don't worry, we'll keep it a secret." Long Aotian and Jiang Beichuan immediately agreed.

"Thank you." Shi Yiguang smiled slightly, then frowned, asking with lingering fear, "By the way, could you two tell me what exactly happened today? Why did those guys try to kill me..."

“This…” Long Aotian and Jiang Beichuan exchanged a glance. In the end, Long Aotian spoke first and asked, “Actually, our appearance at the Xuanhuang Temple was not a coincidence. I wanted to ask you about the Seven Star Grass.”

"Seven-Star Grass?" Upon hearing this name, Shi Yiguang's expression clearly changed.

"What's wrong?" Long Aotian asked. "Is it something you, Miss Shi, don't want to reveal?"

"I... that's not it. I just wanted to ask first, how does Lord Shen know about this Seven Star Grass?"

"Because someone asked me to find this herb." Upon hearing this, Long Aotian did not hide anything and directly told Shi Yiguang the whole story.

"So that's how it is..." Shi Yiguang frowned even more deeply upon hearing Long Aotian's words.

Long Aotian and Jiang Beichuan watched her from the side, without urging her on.

“Since that’s the case, then I won’t hide it anymore.” Shi Yiguang thought for a while and finally decided to tell the truth. “My master is over fifty years old and originally planned to retire from the martial world in the mountains of Suzhou and Hangzhou.”

“But just half a month ago, my master suddenly received a letter. I don’t know the contents of the letter, but the next day my master packed his bags and said he was going to meet an old friend, and asked me to follow him on my journey to practice medicine and save lives.”

“However…” Shi Yiguang said, “Although I didn’t see the contents of the letter, judging from what my master brought, I think it was for treating someone’s illness. Now that I’ve heard what Lord Shen said, perhaps the only one who can persuade my master to come out of seclusion is the current emperor of this dynasty…”

"And what about your master?" Long Aotian asked. "Is the Seven Star Grass on him?"

“Master said this was his last time leaving the mountain, so we’ve been visiting his old friends along the way,” Shi Yiguang said, his face already frozen. “But near Qianzhou City, I suggested I come back to see my family, and Master let me stay here for a while so I could use my skills to repay the people here, while he himself went ahead to Jingcheng…”

“Since these people want to kill you, your master must also be in danger.” Jiang Beichuan immediately stood up and said, “In that case, we need to set off as soon as possible!”

“We don’t know the exact whereabouts of Miss Shi’s master right now. If the three of us go there rashly, it will probably take us forever to find her.” Long Aotian grabbed Jiang Beichuan and said, “Besides, we are officials of Qianzhou City. How can we just cross state borders to investigate cases?”

"So what should we do now?" Jiang Beichuan listened to Long Aotian's words and knew that he made sense, so he sat down again.

"Miss Shi, you said that the Seven Star Grass is on your master?" Long Aotian looked at Shi Yiguang and asked again.

"Yes," Shi Yiguang nodded. "Lord Shen, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing. Don't go back to the Shi family today. Come to my house and stay with my wife," Long Aotian said. "We'll talk about it after tonight."

"No, Lord Shen, how can this be?" Shi Yiguang quickly waved his hand in refusal. "Although I don't know why, those assassins were clearly targeting me. If your wife is implicated because of me..."
