Looking at the shining tip of the knife, the person behind the tree was obviously frightened. She only let out a very short cry, but when she felt that the opponent's tip of the knife was no longer making any progress, she timidly said, " It’s me, my benefactors, and I, the little girl, have come specially to express my gratitude to my benefactors.”
Wu Chengwei was frightened when he heard the woman's voice. He couldn't help but feel lucky that he didn't kill the other party directly, otherwise he would have killed an innocent person.
After realizing that the other party was a woman, Wu Chengwei couldn't help but put away the blade in his hand.
He scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "You don't need to thank us. We are also acting under orders. If you want to thank us, you should thank us, His Highness King Jin."
Hearing Wu Chengwei's words, the woman slowly walked out from behind the tree. She was a beautiful woman in her twenties and eight years. She was as beautiful and innocent as the pear blossoms with dew on the branches in early spring.
However, after what she had just experienced, this woman was obviously a little shaken. Her hair was unkempt, her clothes were not neat, and her hairpins were even scattered.
But even though she was in such a sorry state, she still had an air of weakness that made people feel pity for her.
"My benefactor." She just called out softly, and Wu Chengwei became a little at a loss.
Then Wu Chengwei took the initiative and said to the other party, "I'd better take you to see His Highness."
After saying this, Wu Chengwei didn't even dare to look at the other party, and then he walked forward as usual.
Fortunately, the woman followed him at this time.
Therefore, Wu Chengwei quickly led the other party to Zhao Yanzhen's carriage.
"Your Highness, the person who was rescued just now came to say thank you." Wu Chengwei obviously didn't know where to place his hands and feet, and when he said this, he seemed to feel guilty.
However, after listening to Wu Chengwei's introduction, the woman took the initiative and said, "My little girl was killed today. Fortunately, my benefactor took action, so I came here to express my gratitude."
Hearing what the other party said, Zhao Yanzhen had to lift the sedan curtain, but unexpectedly, his lifting of the sedan curtain shocked the woman's eyes.
The young master in front of him has a jade-like face, and is gentle and elegant, but with a hint of aloof nobility. He is wearing a snow-white round-neck robe embroidered with crane patterns, making him look like the moon in the sky, or a lone crane in the autumn sky.
Zhao Yanzhen didn't know how many twists and turns the woman's mind had turned, not to mention that he had always known that he was born well. There were so many people who looked at him like this, so his eyes towards this woman were already calm and calm.
If the woman could listen carefully to what he said, maybe he would be able to hear the frost in his words that would repel people thousands of miles away.
"There's no need to thank you. I didn't save you in the first place. My purpose was just to get rid of those bandits."
Hearing Zhao Yanzhen's words, the woman felt that he seemed to be saying that she was being sentimental. If an ordinary woman heard this, she would probably be a little embarrassed and leave on her own.
But although the woman looked weak and weak, she seemed to be very tough inside.
"Although the young master is just doing it conveniently, it is an indisputable fact that he saved Hui Niang. The young master may not care about this small effort, but Hui Niang cannot help but remember the young master's kindness."
Hearing that Hui Niang was still able to say such honorable words despite being in such a difficult situation, not to mention Zhao Yanzhen, even Jiang Nianjiao inside couldn't help but feel a little fond of this woman.
Zhao Yanzhen only said, "You are quite sharp-tongued."
Hearing this, Hui Niang only whispered, "Thank you for the compliment, Master. He is kind. Hui Niang is very grateful in her heart, but I don't know if Master can save people to the end."
Zhao Yanzhen originally thought that this woman was going to say something about her promise. After all, he had encountered this kind of trick since he saved the beauty.
Unexpectedly, the woman had not thought about repaying him, but wanted to continue to invest in him.
However, he could guess what the other party wanted him to invest in, and he had no intention of getting too entangled with the woman here, so he just said, "Sorry, I'm afraid I can't help" before the woman continued. You, if you listen to the advice and turn around, this trip, whether it is to Leiyang or Yunzhou, will be extremely dangerous. You can wait until the road is clearer before proceeding.
go. "
However, after hearing Zhao Yanzhen's words, the woman still insisted: "Master, I have to go to Leiyang for this trip, and I can't delay it. I have no other request, I just hope that the master can allow me to follow you." I will go on my own for a while. If there is any danger, I will take care of you. If I go to Yunzhou, I don’t need you to see me off."
At first, Zhao Yanzhen only thought that the other party was an ordinary female family member going to Leiyang City to visit relatives and friends, but now it seems that it is obviously not the case. After all, if it was just to visit relatives and friends, even though he clearly told the other party that the trip was dangerous, the woman still persisted. She wanted to go, and she said all the words for this reason. From this point of view, maybe she had to help the other party.
While Zhao Yanzhen was thinking this, Jiang Nianjiao, who was in the inner room, suddenly said, "Husband, we still have some seats left in the car, and we are going to Leiyang again. If you don't like us, let him ride with us." Let’s take a ride.”
Hearing a woman's voice inside, the woman was just startled. She didn't expect that there was someone else inside. Moreover, when she heard Jiang Nian's tender call for husband, it sounded like this handsome young man already had a wife.
Hearing the calls of the two men, the woman felt a sense of loss for no reason.
But she didn't have the heart to think about that much at the moment, so she just continued to wait for Zhao Yanzhen to save her.
Zhao Yanzhen was wary. Although he felt pity for this woman and had a good impression of her, these were not enough factors for him to definitely help him.
So he just said, "What's your name? Where are you from? What are you doing in Leiyang?"
The woman originally thought that Zhao Yanzhen would be soft-hearted towards her, but she didn't expect that Zhao Yanzhen would only ask such a series of questions.
At the moment, his words didn't sound like a kind-hearted person, but like a household registration checker.
However, after a brief moment of surprise, the woman realized that she was asking for something from someone and had to lower her posture. Not to mention asking someone to check her household registration, even if the person in front of her asked for money, she would have to give it to him with both hands.
"The little girl's name is Shen Fanghui. She is from Luoxi Town, Zhejiang Province. She came to Leiyang for medical treatment for her old grandmother who was on the sick bed. She suffered from frequent high fever and convulsions. The family had invited famous doctors, but her condition was not stable. Instead of getting better, her life is in danger. The slave family heard that there is a miracle doctor in Leiyang who is good at treating all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases. Therefore, they want to go to seek treatment in person. If there is any delay on the way, I am afraid that my grandmother's life will not be saved. "
After saying this, Shen Fanghui only looked sad. She was naturally beautiful and weak, and when she became pitiful, she felt even more pitiful.
If he were an ordinary man, he would probably just sigh that this woman is so weak and yet so pure and filial.
However, Zhao Yanzhen was not an ordinary man. When the woman looked pitiful, Zhao Yanzhen only said with a gentle voice, "She is a filial granddaughter, but aren't your parents worried that it is not safe for a daughter of yours to go out to seek medical treatment?"
After hearing the first half of Zhao Yanzhen's question, the woman wanted to be humble, but the second half of Zhao Yanzhen's question was obviously the focus of his words.
Shen Fanghui was only embarrassed for a moment, and then suddenly lowered her head and said, "Fanghui's parents have passed away long ago, and Fanghui only depends on her grandmother. If her parents are here, Fanghui naturally doesn't have to worry about this."
Hearing this, the people present could not help but sympathize a little more with this beautiful but unfortunate girl.
However, Zhao Yanzhen still said unreasonably, "I see, but I see that there are many servants and men in your family. Leiyang area is also famous for its large number of bandits. It would be inappropriate for you to go there as a female family member. What's more, Why don't you ask your own male servant to go and ask for the doctor?"
Upon hearing Zhao Yanzhen's question, the woman was immediately speechless. She really didn't know what to say in this situation.
Zhao Yanzhen then continued, "I hate being deceived by others the most in my life. If a girl still wants me to take her for a ride, she'd better tell the truth. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless. I don't want to deal with people who don't know the truth. It's also for myself." Safety considerations."
Zhao Yanzhen said this, what else did the woman have to say?
She could only whisper, "I came to Leiyang to get married. I came to marry the eldest son of the Luo family in Leiyang."
I heard a woman mention Leiyang Luo
At home, Jiang Nianjiao only said, "I have heard about the Luo family. The eldest son of the Luo family is indeed not married yet, but I haven't heard him say that he has any engagement."
On the other side, Zhao Yanzhen was obviously more familiar with the eldest son of the Luo family than Jiang Nianjiao. After all, he had cooperated with the eldest son of the Luo family many times, not to mention the previous partnership with him in rescuing people at Yanle Lake. In the recent clearing of Yunhu Mountain, the eldest son of the Luo family was also heavily involved.
Zhao Yanzhen quite admired this person, and the two of them were naturally relatively close, and according to the information he got from Mr. Naluo, he knew.
This Mr. Luo is unmarried and has no engagement. He is a very pragmatic person. What worries him now is that he is pursuing Cui Lingwei. However, Cui Lingwei is devoted to the ignorant Du Zechi.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Du Zechi was Jiang Nianjiao's cousin, and Jiang Nianjiao was very fond of Cui Lingwei, he would be happy to help the eldest son of the Luo family and Cui Lingwei.
After all, the eldest son of the Luo family is also a talented and intelligent man, and Cui Lingwei's brother is also a very outstanding capable official. It would be a good thing if these people can be connected by marriage.
Therefore, he became even more impatient with the woman's last lie. He was too lazy to continue the conversation with the other party. He just said expressionlessly "Let's go!"
When she saw that Zhao Yanzhen was about to put down the curtain and leave, the woman panicked. She quickly said, "Young Master, I say, I say everything. I just ask you not to abandon me."
Zhao Yanzhen said nothing and did not open the curtain again, but he did not start the car immediately.
The woman knew this might be her last chance, so she just took a deep breath.
