You've Been Awake
As Ji Yunshu rushed over, Lang Po pulled her back.
"Teacher Ji, don't go over."
Ji Yunshu was extremely worried. She looked at the bandit holding Wei Yi hostage and pretended to be calm. "He's just a child. Even if you threaten him, it's useless. If you let him go, I promise you'll all be able to leave safely."
"Let him go?"
"As long as you let him go, I'll promise you anything!"
"I want your lives, and I want all the valuables you have on you."
Ji Yunshu didn't agree.
"Shu 'er, it hurts!" Wei Yi yelled.
Jing Rong dismounted his horse at the sound of the commotion. His face was calm, not a hint of emotion could be seen.
Everyone's gaze fell on him at once!
When the bandits saw him, they couldn't help but tremble in fear. They were completely frightened by Jing Rong's innate intimidation.
Jing Rong walked to Ji Yunshu and ordered in a low voice, "Go to the back."
"Wei Yi, he …"
"Leave it to me!"
Ji Yunshu trusted him.
Ji Wanxin, who had alighted from the carriage behind them, quickly pulled Ji Yunshu to the back.
Lang Po walked to Jing Rong's side. "Your Highness, what should we do?"
What should they do?
Of course it's nothing!
Jing Rong raised his hand, gesturing for Lang Po to move to the side. Then, he walked towards the bandits. His sharp eyes and thick eyebrows raised slightly.
The bandit was shocked. "Who … who are you?"
"It's better if you don't know."
"Let me tell you, our First Master is the overlord of Shanhuai County. You've killed so many of our brothers today. Our First Master will definitely take your lives."
Jing Rong smiled. "Fine, I'll wait for your First Master to come for revenge. But before that, none of you … should even think about leaving."
"Then I'll kill him!" The bandit tightened his grip on his knife, making the wound on Wei Yi's neck deeper.
Wei Yi cried out in pain. "Big Brother, they want to kill me! You have to save me!"
"Didn't you just ignore me?"
"I know I was wrong. I'm not angry. Brother, I won't be angry with you anymore. I won't be angry anymore …"
Jing Rong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but with a cold tone, he said to the bandits, "If you think you can live safely by threatening him, then you're delusional. If you want to kill him, then kill him. After all, there's no use keeping a fool by your side. If we can capture you and send you to the Shanhuai yamen, who knows, the magistrate might even reward you."
The bandit, who was already struggling for his life, knew that it was impossible for him to escape.
He made a final gamble. "Fine, since this silly boy is useless to you, I'll kill him now. At least I can drag him to the grave with me."
Before the saber in his hand slashed down, Wei Yi burst into tears and cursed Jing Rong.
"Punching bag, you're so cruel. I hate you, I don't like you anymore. If I die, I'll become a ghost and come to you every night to scare you to death …"
He began to chatter endlessly!
The mountain bandits had a headache from all the noise!
"Enough, I will send you on your way now."
At the end of his speech!
Ji Yunshu's loud cry of "No!" was heard.
Ji Wanxin could only helplessly pull her back, preventing her from rushing over.
The bandit's wrist was already raised, and the saber in his hand was raised a few inches. He was about to slash at Wei Yi's neck.
At that moment, something flew out from the carriage and hit the bandit's hand.
Because the force was very strong, the bandit's hand went limp from the pain, and the saber in his hand fell to the ground.
At the same time, Jing Rong quickly rushed forward. He pulled Wei Yi with one hand and ruthlessly slapped the bandit's chest with the other.
Seeing this!
Lang Po led his men and captured the remaining bandits. Those who resisted were all killed.
In the end, there were only two people left. They were forced to kneel on the ground and tied up.
The moment Jing Rong pulled Wei Yi behind him, he immediately threw himself into Ji Yunshu's arms.
Ji Yunshu hugged him and quickly brought him to the carriage. She found some medicine and applied it on his neck.
She gently blew on it. "After applying the medicine, don't touch it with your hands."
"Okay!"
"Also, don't touch water."
"Okay!"
"When you sleep at night, try to sleep with your head tilted to one side, understand?"
"Okay!"
Wei Yi enjoyed the moment she applied the ointment on his wound. He obediently complied with her instructions.
He was very obedient!
However, there were some tears in those big eyes!
Of course, he didn't forget to tell on her. "Shu 'er, Brother Jing just said that he wanted to kill me. Why did he do that? Did he become a bad person? "
Ji Yunshu touched his pouch. "How could that be? Don't let your imagination run wild."
"Okay!" He nodded and said, "Shu 'er, I'm tired."
"Then, you should rest."
"Okay."
Thereupon …
Wei Yi tightly held Ji Yunshu's wrist and rested his head on her shoulder.
He kept rubbing her head.
Ji Yunshu's neck was numb for a while.
After Wei Yi fell asleep, Ji Wanxin, who had been silent, gently nudged her and asked, "Have you ever thought that if His Highness really didn't care about Young Master Wei's life, then …"
"He's not that kind of person!"
"But at that time …"
Ji Yunshu immediately cut her off and said firmly, "He must have known that Mo Ruo would take action. That's why he said that. Everyone else can misunderstand him, but not me."
Ji Wanxin didn't feel comfortable.
She could only shut her mouth.
Outside.
After Lang Po and his men cleaned up the corpses on the ground, they tied the two captives to their horses. Then, he asked Jing Rong, "Your Highness, are we really going to send these two to Shanhuai County? But that man just said that their First Master … "
Before he could finish, Jing Rong coldly glared at him.
"Could it be that the imperial court only keeps idlers? To think that a dignified county magistrate would be controlled by a mountain bandit. This prince will also remove that black hat of a county magistrate like this. "
"Yes, this subordinate understands."
"Then let's hurry up and depart. I hope we can reach the inn in front before nightfall."
Lang Po asked, "What about Young Master Wei?"
Jing Rong glanced at Ji Yunshu's carriage and waved his sleeve. "Let him stay with Teacher Ji."
"Yes!"
Jing Rong immediately boarded the carriage.
Inside the carriage, Mo Ruo folded his arms in front of his chest and lay on the soft cushion.
He looked like an old drunkard.
Jing Rong didn't say anything and sat down. The carriage continued to move forward.
After a long time, Mo Ruo flipped over.
She closed her eyes and asked in a muffled voice, "If I hadn't done anything at that time, would you have let those people kill Wei Yi?"
Jing Rong stared straight ahead. "But you still made a move!"
"What if I really fell asleep?"
"As it turns out, you were awake the whole time."
