Chapter 160
160 Xie Changsheng
Murong Run had to rush back to Tonghua County from Nanhe Town. He was only halfway there after travelling in a carriage for more than a month.
Fortunately, when he came here, he had stopped along the way to find delicacies.
There was no need to go through so much trouble when he returned.
“These fruits are quite good. I thought that half of them would break halfway, but when I checked just now, not a single one was crushed.”
They stopped along the way to rest. The servant had gone to check on the expensive fruits. The fruits were placed in brocade boxes and stored separately. After checking them one by one, they were all intact.
Hearing this, Murong Run smiled.
“It means that the family didn’t lie to me. This is indeed good stuff. It’s worth me spending so much money.” Murong Run unfolded his fan and fanned it slightly. He was finally in a better mood.
Traveling for so many days was not a comfortable thing.
At this moment, a commotion suddenly came from outside.
“Help, help!”
“Can anyone save me!”
The panicked voice sounded like a young girl.
Murong Run’s expression froze.
Why was there suddenly a girl’s voice in this wilderness?
Could it be that he had bumped into a ghost?!
His expression was a little unnatural as he urged quietly, “Are you done loading? Let’s set off quickly. Grandpa is still waiting for us.”
The servant also heard the voice, but the Young Master did not ask him to be nosy. Of course, he listened to the Young Master.
Murong Run did not like others serving him. The servant had brought a carriage along, and he was both a servant and a coachman. He was not in the mood to help others.
However, the girl seemed to know that there was someone here. As she shouted, she rushed over.
“Save me!”
Murong Run: “Let’s go.”
The servant cracked his whip in the air and the carriage moved.
“I’m the Second Miss of the Xie family in the eastern neighboring county. Please save me. I’ll definitely repay you heavily later!”
The servant did not stop at all, as if he had not heard the woman.
“Please!”
However, no matter how much she begged, the carriage still left heartlessly.
Xie Changting never expected to encounter bandits along the way. She had only brought the female lead out to play and wanted to take this opportunity to rope in the female lead.
Although she had already taken advantage of the chaos to push the female lead to the bandits, those bandits were still not satisfied and even sent people to chase after her!
While she was panicking, the bandits caught up.
“Quick, quick, quick. Over there, catch her!”
“Damn it, she actually dares to play with us brothers. I’ll capture her today and teach her a lesson!”
“Stinky b*tch, disgusting and cheap thing. Send her to a brothel after playing with her!”
As the bandits spoke, they walked towards Xie Changting, cursing and saying dirty words.
Xie Changting’s face turned pale.
No, no, no, how could she have encountered such a thing?!
This shouldn’t be her script!
The servant had already driven the carriage away from the area, but he could still hear the bandit’s words.
“Stop.”
Murong Run’s voice came from the carriage with an indescribable coldness.
“What I hate the most in my life is people scolding women with rude words. Were you not born by your mother?”
When the bandits saw the carriage return and heard a kid’s voice inside, their expressions turned unfriendly.
“I advise you to mind your own business. I’m not in the mood to deal with you today. Get lost!”
The leader of the bandits stabbed the saber in his hand into the ground. Half of it was buried in the ground, and it was especially heavy.
When Xie Changting saw the carriage return, she could not help but feel a wave of hope.
Especially when she heard the particularly pleasant voice in the carriage, she immediately thought that he had probably secretly opened the carriage and seen her appearance and was mesmerized by her.
Of course, it was impossible to marry him. He would just be a spare tire.
In the future, she would marry a Lord at the very least. An ordinary Young Master would definitely not catch her eye.
Although she had thought about it in her heart, Xie Changting did not show it. Instead, she tried his best to show her soft and weak side as she approached the carriage.
“Don’t come over! My brother is here to save me. He’s skilled in martial arts. You’re definitely not his match. Hurry up and retreat!”
Xie Changting said to the bandits, “My brother can fight ten trash like you alone!”
She thought to herself that if the people in the carriage were indeed skilled in martial arts, she would be flattering them.
If they were just embroidered pillows, she would only use them to attract enemy attacks. When the time came, the bandits would definitely attack the two of them and she would be able to escape in the chaos.
As expected, the bandits were furious. They raised their sabers and were about to slash over when Xie Changting screamed.
Oh my god, am I going to die now?!
The servant did not even look at Xie Changsheng. He only turned his head and asked Murong Run, “Young Master?”
Murong Run: “End this quickly.”
The servant said, “Yes.”
The servant raised the horsewhip in his hand and flew towards the bandits.
He quickly entered into a battle with the bandits.
“Busybody, I’ll take your life today!” The bandits waved their sabers, wanting to kill the servant on the spot.
However, in less than ten minutes, all the bandits fell to the ground and wailed. They had either broken arms or legs. The scene was very bloody.
Xie Changting saw that they had dealt with the bandits and thought that she had made the right bet.
She immediately swept his hair behind his back and tidied his wrinkled dress slightly. Then, she climbed into the carriage in two or three steps, her appearance still soft and weak.
“May I know your name? I have nothing to repay you…”
Before she could finish speaking, a palm wind attacked. Xie Changting was sent flying dozens of feet and smashed into the grass at the side.
Murong Run’s voice was emotionless. “Get lost.”
The servant took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood off the horsewhip. At the same time, he said to Xie Changting, who was grimacing beside him, “Little girl, our Young Master has a bad temper. Don’t get too close to him lest you get injured.”
With that, the servant jumped onto the carriage and raised the horsewhip again. The carriage sped away without looking back.
After Xie Changting got up, she cursed in the direction of the carriage.
After cursing for a long time, Xie Changting looked at the bandits who were still wailing in pain. Her anger had reached its peak.
She picked up a large saber that the bandits had thrown to the ground.
She lifted the saber with great effort.
The bandits looked terrified.
“What are you trying to do?! Don’t come over!”
“Pfft-”
The saber pierced into his flesh, and blood splattered.
“Ah!”
Xie Changting wiped the blood off her face and said fiercely, “You actually dare to use such disgusting words to scold your ‘Great-aunt’. You have to be prepared to die!!”
Half an hour later, a group of people rushed over and saw Xie Changting sitting on the ground.
“Second Miss, are you alright?” When the group of people rushed towards Xie Changting, they saw the bandits on the ground. Not only were they missing limbs, but their heads had also been cut off.
“Urgh-”
On the spot, someone could not take it anymore and ran to the side to vomit for a long time.
Xie Changting’s face was filled with tears as he said with a trembling voice, “You’re finally here! If not for the rescue of a benefactor, I would have been killed by these bandits!”
When everyone heard this, they realized that someone had saved the Second Miss.
However, the person who saved the Second Miss was too cruel.
After Xie Changting was taken back to the residence, she was quickly called over by her father for questioning, mainly to ask if she had been defiled by the bandits.
If she was tainted, there was no need to keep her alive.
Xie Changting said, “Father, you know that I’m a strong-willed person. If my body is really impure, I’ll bite my tongue and commit suicide on the spot. How can I have the face to come back to see Father!”
At this point, Xie Changting’s eyes were filled with admiration as she whispered, “It’s just that some servants came to look for me at that time. They saw me in a sorry state, I was a little afraid that they would spout nonsense…”
Killing intent flashed across the middle-aged man’s eyes. “Good daughter, don’t worry. They won’t have a chance to spout nonsense. Father will protect your reputation.”
Xie Changting smiled calmly.
She just didn’t know how the female lead was doing. Most female leads had the aura of a female lead. Even if they fell into a bandit’s nest, they definitely wouldn’t die.
She had to think carefully about how to explain it to the female lead when she returned.
