Be Careful, Black-bellied Prince - C77
Although he was facing off against six bandits, Sheng Yan still had some confidence. As long as he could take out the medicine in his bag, he could solve the problem.
But the current situation was a little urgent, so Sheng Yan was not given the chance to do so.
Seeing the bandits rushing over one by one, their eyes shone brightly.
Of course, Sheng Yan was anxious too, but after all, there were only her and Lan Qin here, so this wasn’t appropriate.
Just as he was feeling anxious, Lan Qin had already started fighting with the bandits.
Sheng Yan only needed to use fancy martial arts to catch him off guard.
“Yo, young master’s hands are so thin.”
“None of your business, let go of me.”
Sheng Yan used a bit of strength. After all, his hands were also skill-based, how could they be dirtied by this kind of person?
However, due to the sheer force exerted on his body, when he leaned to the side, he tore off one of his sleeves, revealing the snow-white arm underneath.
Furthermore, her snow-white skin was extremely dazzling under the sunlight.
Sheng Yan saw that there was nothing on her arms, but she was not at ease. It was as if she had killed red eyes, and directly kicked the two bandits flying.
He rushed in Sheng Yan’s direction, but what made Sheng Yan stay the most was that Lan Qin actually let out a loud shout.
“Miss, I’ll save you.”
Sheng Yan really wanted to cover her face and sigh, but the current situation did not give her any time to think, she immediately threw out the bundle behind her, causing all her clothes to fall out.
Actually, these were not the main points, because Sheng Yan already had her own thoughts.
He had made himself a medicine that was comparable to a sweat medicine. Moreover, he did not need to rely on food, but rather, air. It was the same as the hallucinogen, but this medicine could temporarily paralyze people.
The four muscular men near Sheng Yan immediately fell to the ground.
Amongst the two people that were sent flying by Lan Qin, one of them was the leader. Seeing that Sheng Yan did not even need to come into contact with them, and could beat them, this kind of person was either extremely strong in terms of inner strength, or an expert who knew how to use medicine.
Seeing that they could not get anything good from him and were still losing troops, the two of them hurriedly rode their horses and ran away.
Seeing the mess in front of them, Sheng Yan and Lan Qin could finally heave a sigh of relief.
“Why did you call me Miss just now, you scared me to death.”
“Miss, you’re so powerful.”
“What’s there to be proud of? Let’s hurry up and go. This is only a medicine to cover one’s face. They will wake you up soon.”
Hearing that, Lan Qin realized that the situation was not as tense as it should be, and it was getting dark, so they needed to go through the ravine and find an inn to rest.
So riding two horses, whether they were going to or not, felt that running away was more important.
The sky was completely dark, and they were unable to find their way to the mountain. Furthermore, they hadn’t eaten for a long time, so the two of them were feeling extremely hungry.
Sheng Yan looked at her surroundings. It was not like she was living in poverty, and she did not need to be nervous. What she needed now was to find a windswept cave, and then find firewood and get herself something to eat.
The heavens didn’t disappoint those who followed. After two hours, the two finally found a well-hidden cave. Moreover, the cave was covered by vines and the space inside was extremely small. They couldn’t use these two horses anymore, otherwise, they would be discovered by bandits.
After drilling wood for fire, the interior was still relatively clean, with only two people inside.
However, this was enough. The smaller the target, the safer it was. After all, the target wasn’t that big.
After they let the two horses go, the two of them broke some branches and reinforced the area they were hiding outside.
After arranging everything, he could only eat the leftover rations. Fortunately, he still had some snacks in his pocket, which could be considered an attack.
At night, the two slept in each other’s arms, covering their clothes like blankets.
Sure enough, it was right to reinforce the door, because it was actually raining in the middle of the night.
The night passed, and the sun of the second day shone in.
Sheng Yan rubbed her sleepy eyes and realized that Lan Qin was no longer by her side. She must have gone out to find food and water, because sshe had some common sense in the ancient times. After all, he had participated in every field expansion training organized by the school, but when it came to places like Gu Yan, she found herself to be an ignorant baby, and could only sit and wait for the benefits that others offered him.
After he had tidied up his clothes, he went out to get some fresh air.
The air here was indeed fresh, and they were about to enter the city today, so they didn’t need any men’s clothing.
“Miss, you’re up. I’ve plucked some fruits, let’s deal with this first.”
“Mmm mmm, it’s fine. Go and change into your daughter’s disguise to get rid of yesterday’s bad luck. When we meet a passerby, we’ll follow along.”
Lan Qin nodded, and she estimated that she was not far from the next town, when she reached the town, she would need to hire a carriage, if not the two of them would walk to Hangzhou, and if they did not have a broken leg, they would probably be robbed and thrown into the wilderness.
After eating the fruit, Sheng Yan felt that she was filled with power again, so she tried to leave. After all, according to the direction of the sunlight, they would definitely walk the right way, but this place was filled with wild mountains, and climbing back up was extremely difficult.
If he were to meet a bandit …
At this moment, he saw two aunts carrying baskets towards him.
Sheng Yan thought, they must be entering the city.
“Are the sisters going into the city?”
“Yeah, you two ladies as well?”
“Yes, we were just passing by, so we wanted to be companions with the two sisters.”
In her mind, she hated chatting with people that were on the level of aunts. Especially the aunties of this era, she was fine with talking about family matters, but she actually asked how old they were when she was young and pretty.
This kind of situation should be avoided, but now that the bandits were rampant, he could only feel wronged.
All along the way, they did not even know whether they were divine horses or not. In short, Sheng Yan’s head was buzzing.
When they arrived at the small town, they finally felt relieved.
The two quickly found a clean restaurant and prepared to hire a horse carriage. However, there would be continuous mountain roads in this area, so when that time came, it would be inevitable for the two of them to be robbed.
Instead of this, take the boat.
When he had that thought, he discovered that there was a team of Shangguan family heading towards the Hangzhou.
Actually, Sheng Yan had a thought, was it possible to mix in with these people and move forward?
Of course, this was only on the basis of the other party’s agreement. Moreover, he didn’t know who this team of officials was carrying. If it was someone he was familiar with, it would be better if he didn’t participate.
After a simple packing of his luggage, he wanted to smile as he approached the Guan family’s driving team, but he found that the carriage in the middle had stopped and opened the curtain.
The person inside looked like they were about to get out of the car.
Sheng Yan quickly pulled Lan Qin to hide in a small corner, in order to be able to observe the situation inside the carriage.
At this moment, a horse came running over. The person on top seemed to be a guard general, giving off a dignified air.
A black figure walked out from the brown carriage and Sheng Yan stared fixedly at the savior who was about to bring him out of her predicament, wanting to know his background and appearance.
