While Concubine Yu De and Qing He were talking about Li Sixu, Li Sixu, who was bandaging an old man's leg injury far away in Yizhou, Shu, yawned heavily.
There was a post house every thirty miles in the Tang Dynasty. From the time they left Chang'an, they kept walking and stopping all the way, and they traveled on the road for a full three months.
What she thought was the wind, food, open air, and thrills, none of it was there.
Just when Li Sixu felt that her days of treating a few patients along the way were boring, she and Princess Yuzhen finally entered the realm of Jiannan Road.
Looking around, the land of Shu is full of endless mountains. Along the way, there are mountainous scenery with overlapping rocks, cliffs and strange peaks.
There are many bandits in the mountains!
Li Sixu was gearing up, feeling that the thrill she was looking forward to was finally coming.
However, with Liu Yunying and her aunt's bodyguards around, except for picking up a few small robbers along the way, they made it to the border of Yizhou safely.
Yizhou is only a few dozen miles away from Qingcheng Mountain. Li Sixu was so bored that she yawned in the carriage. Even Dr. Sun was dragging her to study medicine and she couldn't get interested.
At this time, the cavalry suddenly stopped!
Hearing the faint cry of a child from outside the carriage, Li Sixu asked Liu Yunying: "Go and see what's going on?"
Liu Yunying went down and reported back soon.
"An old man rolled down the ravine while passing by the mountain road ahead. He didn't know whether he was dead or alive. His granddaughter was lying on the roadside crying. The eldest princess had already asked the guards to tie a rope and jump down the ravine to save her."
Li Sixu poked her little head out of the carriage, and sure enough she saw her aunt's escort tying the rope to a tree on the roadside, and wrapping the other end around their waists to climb down the steep mountain wall.
And her aunt, who was wearing a curtain hat, had been helped out of the carriage by Aunt Zhen, and was comforting the little baby who was crying sadly.
There are many strange and steep mountains here. Along the way, there are no tea shops or post houses on the roadside.
It was already very strange for an old man to pass by with a little baby in the wilderness.
What's even more bizarre is that there are cliffs everywhere on the roadside. A passing business traveler may accidentally roll down the cliff with his car, but the old man who slipped and fell was so lucky and rolled down a ravine.
Compared with the brainless thieves who robbed them as fat sheep, the situation in front of her was much more interesting. Li Sixu felt that the thieves who robbed them this time were brave and resourceful.
She suddenly became energetic, like a wild horse, leaving Sun Yizheng who was researching medicine.
"Old man, there seems to be something interesting. Sisi go down and have a look!"
Sun Yizheng, who was grinding medicine with a roller, pointed to the cliff not far away through the curtain of the carriage opened by Li Sixu.
Li Sixu followed his line of sight and saw a man in white, holding a book in his hand, leaning on a pine branch on the cliff. The mountain breeze mixed with cool water mist was blowing by the waterfall, and the man's clothes were blowing in the wind. Fei has a bit of an independent spirit.
"A mountain bandit with an air of immortality? Is this how you become a mountain bandit now?"
The cliff where the man lived was full of steep rock walls, but he was still as steady as a rock, holding the book and sitting on the swaying pine branches.
This look and appearance are really unique.
Li Sixu's eyes shone with excitement: "This bandit Sisi has taken a liking to him!"
Doctor Sun was about to remind her that he used the sad cries of the old man and the child who rolled down the cliff to lure the guards around Princess Yuzhen down the ravine to check. It was probably a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, leaving the female family members and him, the old man, easy to attack.
But thinking of his little disciple who was depressed and looking languid all the way, he immediately followed her.
If he doesn't pamper his own disciple, who will?
At most, he ended up falling into the trap of the thief, and he just spent some time on the newly developed poison!
Otherwise, Old Man Sun was knowledgeable. It turned out to be just as he expected. In a moment, Princess Yuzhen’s most skilled guard had already slid down the ravine with a rope tied to the tree and explored the old man. The breath.
"He lost consciousness, but he can still be saved."
The guard called from the ravine below: "I don't know if I have any internal injuries if I rolled down from such a high place. I can only tie him up with a rope and pull him up on his back. I have to have someone come down to help."
Just like that, when Li Sixu jumped out of the carriage and ran closer, another guard got out.
It was too late to stop her, so she had to take out the candied fruits in her purse and stuff them into the mouth of the crying little boy.
"It's dangerous, aunt, go to the carriage and take shelter!"
Before Li Sixu could finish her words, a scimitar that glowed coldly under the sun flew through the air. Fortunately, she had quick eyesight and quick hands to press Princess Yuzhen down. The knife grazed her ear, and she was tied with a rope with a bang. The tree fell down.
As a bird chirped, dozens of people suddenly poured out of the mountain col, holding bows and arrows in their hands, aiming at Li Sixu and Princess Yuzhen.
The two thieves led by them were riding on tall horses. One looked extremely vicious, and the other stared at Princess Yuzhen with a gleam in his wolf eyes.
He then sent Liu Halazi: "Oh, what a beauty!"
"I told you there was a beauty. When did I lie to you?"
The vicious-looking one said impatiently: "I have no interest in women. The money belongs to me, and the women belong to you."
"I'm not interested in this kind of thing, can you do that? Just by looking at the younger one, you can tell that the older one's face under that curtain must be stunningly beautiful."
Through the curtain, the thief sitting on the horse couldn't see clearly Princess Yuzhen's face, so he could only cast his eyes on Li Sixu and glanced at her: "She looks like she is eight or nine years old. She has been a delicate little beauty for several years. Son, this deal is not a loss."
She lured the masters who were guarding her aunt down the ravine to rescue people, thinking that she would have no worries. Looking at the thieves who regarded them as their prey, Li Sixu almost laughed out loud.
Those who dare to snatch the emperor's biological sister and the tenth most beloved princess have their heads pinned to their belts without even realizing it.
However, they were really sloppy in appearance and could not compare to the thief leader who was leaning on the pine branch holding a scroll as if no one else was watching.
The bandits in Shu are so bold and interesting!
The carriage they were riding in was surrounded by people, but Li Sixu didn't panic at all. Instead, she protected Princess Yuzhen and shook her head at the bandits who dismounted and came to snatch him.
"You can't do it, you're too ugly!"
Li Sixu pointed to the thief leader holding a scroll on the pine branch on the cliff: "Don't come to rob your aunt if you are ugly. I want the good-looking bandit to rob me."
Do you have to pick someone to commit robbery and murder?
Not to mention the bandit who robbed him was dumbfounded, even the bandit who said he only wanted money but not women was also dumbfounded!
Li Sixu's voice echoed in the valley. The man leaning on the pine branch holding the scroll didn't want to hear it. He finally raised his head from the scroll.
"The little beauty is quite interesting!"
As if he was tired from reading for too long, he stretched out lazily: "Since you and I are destined, I will reluctantly steal you for once!"
