slender.
In particular, his face was feminine and handsome, and with the powder on his face, it was hard to tell a man from a woman.
With his feminine wedding dress and gentle bun, no one would suspect that he was a man.

“The princess has a maid to accompany her, and when the beauty is offered to the lord of the fortress, the maid will surely be given to us, brothers.”

The heroine had a straight temper and had long been furious at the bandits who coveted her and Gu Xiyu.
Hearing them spout further disrespectful words and seeing that the battle was not going well on either side, she took the longsword from the dead guard beside her and confronted them head-on.

This made it difficult for the bandits who wanted to sneak over and take them captive to get close.

But even if the heroine was powerful, she was still just a young girl, and it didn’t take long for her to start losing her strength against so many powerful adult men, and she even received a few bruises on her body.

Gu Xiyu’s heart skipped a beat as he watched, and he pulled her back just when she wanted to continue to charge forward: “You’re injured.”

He had always been relatively calm in the execution of missions in the previous worlds because he still had his strength, so the people in those worlds were unable to bully him.
In this world, the system had not repaired his body in order to maintain the original owner’s sick and weak persona, so even if he wanted to join the fight, he would not be able to use even half of his original strength, let alone lift the sword that the heroine held in her hand.

Murong Qingwan didn’t act impulsively anymore.
She took a few steps back with him, then suddenly jumped onto the horse with him and galloped away in another direction.

“Quick, don’t let them get away!”

“I really underestimated these two.”

Murong Qingwan sat in front of Gu Xiyu, and the hand around her felt a growing wetness.

The heroine was bleeding! She had suffered a considerable injury, and if she continued her strenuous activities, her injury would become more and more serious.


In his mind, he asked the system, “In which direction is the nearest town from here?”

The intelligent system had not yet come online, and it was the main system at the central station that finally answered him: [[Because of your good performance in the previous world missions, I will give you a hint.]]

[[Go southeast, and after ten miles, you’ll be within the boundaries of Ningan Town.
It’ll be much safer there.]]

“Won’t the bandits enter the town?”

[[Not really, but there is a greater chance of meeting some kind people within the town.
The people of Tianyun Zhai are not afraid of anything, so they may break in, but at least there will be more sheltered places to hide.]]

Gu Xiyu’s expression was serious, and he didn’t ask any more questions, only saying to Murong Qingwan, “Go southeast.”

Murong Qingwan glanced at the sun in the sky and maneuvered the horse beneath her to turn in a different direction.
Her injuries were still spilling blood, her lips were turning paler, and a cold sweat was breaking out on her forehead from the pain.
But her eyes were clear, and there was a stubborn look of defiance in them.

Gu Xiyu estimated the distance, and when they began to approach the boundaries of Ningan Town, he told Murong Qingwan to stop.

“Imperial brother, what’s wrong?” It was hard for Murong Qingwan to say more than a few words to him now.

At the yellow sand path ahead, a rather flashy carriage leisurely drove up.
When the curtain of the carriage was lifted by the wind, Gu Xiyu managed to see who was in it – it was a few nuns.
The carriage swayed as it moved along the road, but the nuns inside still looked very calm and composed, with warm, light smiles on their faces, which were extremely attractive.

Gu Xiyu helped the heroine off the horse and came to the carriage to ask if they could give his injured sister a lift to Ningan Town.

The Buddhist nuns were compassionate and seeing how badly Murong Qingwan was injured, they did not ask the reason behind it, but put their hands together and said, “It is fate that we’ve met the two benefactors, please come in.”

Perhaps because she had seen her savior, Murong Qingwan’s tense body finally relaxed a little, but thirst and dizziness followed.
She was helped into the carriage and waited for Gu Xiyu to enter, but to her surprise, the young man in the big red wedding dress took off all the accessories on his body, including the phoenix hairpin on his head, leaving only a little silver on himself and giving the rest of the valuable ones to her.


“You ……”

Gu Xiyu took a step back and calmly said to Murong Qingwan, “I am their target, this place can take you in, I don’t want it to be implicated.”

He raised a hand to his mouth and coughed a few times, his frail body like a candle in the wind.
The pallor on his face could hardly be hidden by the makeup.
But he turned and mounted his horse with such determination, his red wedding dress fluttering as he ran off towards the road they had come from.

Murong Qingwan was so anxious that she wanted to get off the carriage and intercept him, but her injuries did not allow her to do so.
The nuns accepted Gu Xiyu’s request and did not let her out, but sighed and took her back to Ningan Town.

As the curtain slowly fell to block Gu Xiyu’s distant figure, Murong Qingwan gritted her teeth in anger and said to herself: ‘Imperial brother will be lucky, he will be fine.”

When she recovers from her injuries, she will definitely look for him!

Gu Xiyu’s advice these days was still lingering in her mind.

—-“If you meet a man called Yuchi Rong, you can feel free to befriend and cooperate with him, he is a trustworthy person.”

She heard that this man was the fourth prince of the Yao Kingdom, and since her imperial brother wanted to marry the third prince, would she be able to reunite with her brother if she went straight into the imperial city of the Yao Kingdom to look for this fourth prince?

As she thought about this, her heart tightened slightly again.

First, her brother had to survive this calamity.

Gu Xiyu left the path to Ningan Town on the horse to keep the bandits chasing him from disturbing the peace of the townspeople.
He saw the men coming after him run down the steep slope from a distance and pulled the reins to continue his run in an unknown direction.
In ancient times, there was a lot of unexplored land, and the terrain off the main road was complicated and mainly wilderness.

With a little ingenuity, he took advantage of the terrain to throw the bandits off his back.

But before he could relax, a flying arrow came from nowhere just as he was passing a rugged road lined with sand and gravel, and shot straight into the back of his left shoulder.
The shock of the pain hit him so hard that he lost his grip on the reins and fell off the horse.

His palm was scratched by the rough road, and drops of blood immediately coalesced from the wound.
