C78 Pure Heart

However, the strong man behind her did not seem to intend to give up on the fat sheep they were about to get. She only heard one of them say the word "chase," and then she only cared about pulling the man and running forward.

However, how could her and Xishan's feet be better than the four brawny men? Before they could run onto the road with more people, they were stopped again.

"Run! Didn't you run quite happily just now?" One of the brawny men, who had been tricked by Yunshu, walked in front of the two people who had nowhere to run without blushing or gasping and spat. "Two little brats! After I sell you to Mommy, you'll know how stupid escaping is."

Yunshu loosened her sleeve and shook the child's hand to comfort him. Only then did she realize that the other party's palm was covered in cold sweat. "Don't be afraid." As expected, the child was struggling just now.

Xishan nodded and held her hand back. "Don't be afraid, Sis Xin Xin. Even if you are really sold to that kind of place, I will still protect you."

Yunshu smiled gratefully. However, Xiao Heng's spies were all over the Great Liang. How could he possibly watch her be taken away by these people and destroy his plan to obtain the Netherworld Register? If her guess was correct, there should be people coming to save them sooner or later.

"Before selling them off, how about this young master send you to the yamen first?"

See, wouldn't the person who saved them come just like that? En... the voice seems to be slightly off.

Yun Zhu tilted her head and looked behind the brawny man who had just spoken. She saw a sword extend out of the black cloak and directly pressed against the brawny man's back. The person holding the sword was not the person Xiao Heng had sent to save her, but Jiang Xunyang.

Jiang Xunyang also saw Yun Zhu and said with a rare serious expression, "Miss Yin, you don't have to worry. I've already sent someone to inform the yamen authorities that someone is coming."

Yun Zhu wanted to say that she was not worried, but in the end, she did not say anything. The person who saved them had bad records. She subconsciously began to suspect that it wasn't a coincidence that she met Jiang Xunyang under such circumstances. However, it was also rare for her to investigate. Jiang Xunyang was just a passerby to her anyway. Furthermore, if she were to be more careful, he was just a passerby that she was a little annoyed with - although he was not as annoying as he was at the beginning.

Jiang Xunyang was alone. The other three people who had not been pointed at by the sword glanced at each other before starting to surround and attack Jiang Xunyang. Yunshu and Xishan, on the other hand, had the free time to watch the show.

Actually, when she saw that there were people fighting in front of her, Yun Zhu recalled the close combat techniques that she had learned from Xiao Heng's subordinates earlier. She also felt a little itchy in her techniques, but she could not do anything about it. The maid that she was acting in was a weak woman who did not even have the strength to truss a chicken. She absolutely could not make a move in front of them.

Therefore, other than pulling Xishan to a safer place to watch the show and wait for the soldiers to arrive, there was no other way.

"Ah, that's right!" Xishan, who was standing beside Jiang Xunyang, broke out in a cold sweat. Suddenly, she called out in a low voice, "I'll go and find the vegetables."

Since they were temporarily safe, there was no reason to leave the cart of food ingredients in the alley for others to benefit. After all, it was bought with money from the residence. If they lost it, wouldn't he and Yunshu have to pay from their own pockets?

"Then I'll go with you." Yunshu said and was about to leave with him.

Xishan shook her head and told her to wait here before turning around and running away.

However, in a short while, Jiang Xunyang gradually fell into a disadvantage. Three people fighting one person became four versus one. It didn't seem like an act at all. After all, both sides had large and small wounds on their bodies. The strong men even took out the daggers they carried with them and cut Jiang Xunyang's arm by four or five centimeters. The pink tender flesh was immediately dug out.

Yunshu anxiously stared at the stone by her feet. She hesitated to find a place to hide and secretly make a move.

Just as she was in a dilemma, a somewhat familiar male voice sounded. "Young Master! This lowly one will help you!"

She looked in the direction of the voice and saw that Kong Shengda had unknowingly arrived here. He helped Jiang Xunyang block one of the strong men's kicks with his bare hands, then dragged the strong man's raised foot and knocked him to the ground. Immediately, the strong man howled." He cried. Yunshu felt that his bones might have been injured.

When the remaining three brawny men saw that another person had come, as if they had made an agreement, the two of them led the brawny man who had fallen to the ground and one of them attacked Yunshu, who seemed to want to take her away.

Yunshu did not expect that these people would not forget to plunder benefits at the same time when they were about to die. For a moment, she did not have time to guard and was grabbed by the brawny man's neck. She immediately felt that her breathing became somewhat difficult.

"Let her go!" Jiang Xunyang angrily roared at the brawny man who was grabbing her neck.

"How can a duck that has its mouth be let go so easily?" When the brawny man saw that he was pinching the girl's neck as if he was holding onto the lifeline of the man who had just fought with them, he no longer feared the two people in front of him. Instead, he brought Yunshu along and retreated with the other three people.

When he saw them retreat to a carriage tied to a tree, Jiang Xunyang's brows knitted even more tightly. "Let her go, I'll give you two silver taels."

"That depends on how much you plan to give?"

"How much do you want?"

One of the strong men who was supporting the injured man stretched out his hand and made a "one" gesture. "This girl should be worth at least 100 taels of silver in the building, right?"

"No problem."

Seeing that Jiang Xunyang agreed readily, the other muscular man rolled his eyes and knocked down the finger of the person beside him. "But we didn't say that we would let her go if it was a hundred taels of silver. At least a thousand taels of silver."

Yunshu didn't expect that this group of people would ask for an exorbitant price. She immediately wanted to attack the person behind her and directly knock him down.

A thousand taels. It would be a ghost if Jiang Xunyang was willing to nod his head. Although she would not die and Xiao Heng would definitely save her, she did not know what kind of suffering she would suffer if she fell into the hands of this group of people for the time being.

However, to her surprise, Jiang Xunyang nodded his head. "Yes, but I don't have that much silver with me right now."

"Then hurry up and think of a way. See you at the east side of the city, Guanyin Temple, in an hour." As he spoke, the brawny man tied up Yunshu's hands with hemp ropes and planned to throw her into the carriage.

However, right when he turned around, a hand swiftly hacked at the back of his neck and he immediately fainted.

Before the people in the carriage could pull the prey in their hands into the carriage, they saw that the prey had fallen into someone else's hands. They immediately wanted to run, but they saw that not far away, someone had brought soldiers.

"Miss Xin Xin, are you alright?" Kong Shengda placed her on the ground and helped her undo the rope that was tied into a dead knot.

Being rescued by someone in her heart should be a very romantic thing, so now she should be staring at the person in her heart with infatuation. When Yunshu thought of this, she did as she was told and even smiled as she shook her head. "It's fine, thank you, Big Brother Kong. Your wound is bleeding. Shall I bandage it for you?" As she spoke, she took out her handkerchief and tied it to Kong Shengda's hand, which had a few small cuts made by the dagger.

Those who did not know the truth really thought that the man had feelings for his concubine.

Such a harmonious scene naturally attracted the attention of a certain person. A certain person walked in front of her and isolated Kong Shengda outside: "Return to the residence with this young master."

"But..." Xishan had not returned yet.

However, her following words were stared at by Jiang Xunyang until she did not dare to speak anymore.

Before Jiang Xunyang left, he glared at Kong Shengda. "Why are you here?"

"I was on vacation today, so I wanted to go home and take a look. I happened to pass by."

Jiang Xunyang sneered. "On vacation? You won't be able to take leave in the future. " He said those cruel words and pulled Yunshu away, leaving Kong Shengda alone in the cold winter wind. He blankly thought about why his young master wanted to take off his leave, but after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out.
