Mrs. Zhao stayed in the Princess's Mansion for about half an hour, telling Du Shichu about the events of her father, the princess, and her concubine when they were young. Du Shichu listened with interest. When Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Hui left, She was a little reluctant to give up.
"Princess Princess, if you... want to choose a county horse, you'd better ask your Majesty to help you investigate. Your Majesty will never harm you. But for other people, you have to be more discerning. Sometimes, what you see... What you heard may be false, just what others want you to know. Also, blood and kinship relationships are not very reliable." Mrs. Zhao hesitated to speak when Du Shichu sent her out. Finally, he said this to her meaningfully.
"Thank you, Madam. I understand." Du Shichu thanked her sincerely. Madam Zhao could remind her like this because she obviously knew that many people were interested in her and was afraid that she would be deceived.
Mrs. Zhao finally nodded to her and left with Zhao Hui.
Du Shichu no longer has to observe filial piety, but sometimes she still goes back to the Huguo Temple on the outskirts of Beijing to offer incense and pray for her parents.
On this day, she was returning home from the Huguo Temple, and while passing through a relatively remote mountain road, a group of masked people suddenly appeared and rushed towards her carriage, yelling: "Robbery!" If you are wise, don’t struggle and don’t shout! Otherwise, our swords will not be polite!”
Du Shichu was startled. She never expected that someone would dare to rob someone on this road. Do these gangsters not want their lives? Although this section of road is remote and quiet, because it is the only way back to the capital from Huguo Temple, it has always been safe, with almost no accidents.
An accident that had not happened in the past hundred years actually caused Du Shichu to catch up. I really don't know if she was too unlucky.
"Everyone in the carriage, come out!" A rough voice shouted, and he raised the curtain of the carriage with the blade of a knife, "Don't wait any longer!"
Du Shichu grabbed Zhichun, who had turned pale with fright, and got out of the carriage obediently.
When the leading robber saw Du Shichu's face, he was stunned for a moment. After a while, he stammered: "You, take out all the valuable things on you!"
Du Shichu expressionlessly took off the hair ornaments on his head, the necklace, earrings and bracelets around his neck. Zhichun's hands were shaking because of fear, and he couldn't take off the earrings after a lot of effort. He was panicking and anxious. She almost cried, so Du Shichu had no choice but to help her pick it.
"I've given you all the valuables, can we leave?" Du Shichu, Zhichun and the carriage took out all their belongings and then said to the robbers.
Those robbers did not expect that Du Shichu and the other three were so agile and handed over all their belongings without any resistance. They were simply the most exemplary victims. Logically speaking, if they were just ordinary robbers who only wanted to steal money, If you don't want to go too far and cause the government to arrest you, you should leave happily now that you have obtained the property.
But these people did not leave immediately. After looking at each other several times, they stopped.
"Why don't you just take your belongings and leave? Are you afraid that we will report you to the official? Don't worry, we won't report you to the official. Moreover, since you are covering your face, we don't know your appearance at all. Even if you report to the official, it will be useless." Du Shichu tentatively said to them again.
After several robbers looked at each other for a few times, they seemed to have made up their minds. The robber in front suddenly looked at Du Shichu from top to bottom with evil eyes. He deliberately came in front of her and looked at her with lewd/evil eyes. He looked at her and said: "This girl is so good-looking. Suddenly we not only want to rob money, but also want to rob sex...hehe..."
Du Shichu's face suddenly darkened, his eyes turned cold, and he said, "Think carefully, if you just rob me of money, you can still leave with your life, but if you want to rob me of sex, you have to leave with your life." Plan to come down.”
"Haha! You little bitch actually said you could save our lives? How? Are you bragging with your mouth?" Another bandit laughed and mocked.
"Brothers! This girl is beautiful and has a fierce temperament. She is so delicious! We have really encountered a treasure this time! We must have a good taste of it."
"That's right! I haven't tasted the taste of these wealthy ladies! Damn, they all wear gold and silver, make slaves and call maids, just like the gods. Now it's better, the gods are in our hands. ,hey-hey……"
What the robbers said was so unbearable that Du Shichu lost his patience and instantly kicked out the leading robber in front of her. The robber didn't know whether it was due to his lack of martial arts or Du Shichu's superiority. It was so unexpected. Anyway, before he could react at all, he felt a pain in his chest, and then he spun around and flew several meters away.
"Brother! Let's fight with you! You bitch..." When the robbers saw their eldest brother being kicked away by Du Shichu, they exploded and rushed towards her.
Zhichun was trembling with fear, but he did not forget his duty and stood in front of Du Shichu to protect her.
Du Shichu took her by the collar and took her aside and said, "Just look after yourself, don't stop me from doing it."
Du Shichu thought that a war was about to start, but he did not expect that at this imminent moment, there was a sudden sound of horse hooves in the distance, and then a shout: "Stop! Who dares to block the road and rob here?" !”
Du Shichu squinted his eyes and looked towards the place where the sound came from, and saw Zhou Yizhu, who had not appeared in front of her for a while.
He was riding a horse, with many people behind him, and with a righteous look on his face, he galloped over.
"If you know what you are looking for, please leave immediately! Otherwise, you will even stay!" When the robbers saw the appearance of these people, they were still aggressive and not timid at all. They even sneered, "A few pretty boys, do you still want to be a hero to save the beauty?"
A hero saves a beauty? When Du Shichu heard these four words, his mind turned around a few times and he already figured out what the show was about today.
No wonder, she said that no robbers had dared to block this road for a hundred years, but there were them when she passed by. These robbers not only robbed money but also wanted to rob sex. This was too audacious and did not suit them. The principle of life preservation.
Of course, what made her most suspicious was Zhou Yizhu who happened to appear at this time and place.
Who is Zhou Yizhu? He is an unscrupulous person who never gives up and wants to use her as a ladder to climb up.
Du Shichu suddenly sneered and crossed his arms to see how they wanted to continue the scene.
Zhou Yizhu seemed to have discovered Du Shichu just now. He looked at her in "surprise" and said, "Cousin? Why are you here?"
