Love Addict

chapter 5

At Maoshi, the battalion is fully assembled and ready to embark on the road.

"What was the result of the two assassins' interrogation last night?" Zhao Yunyan asked as soon as he saw Baguda.

"I'm sorry, the two assassins poisoned themselves as soon as they woke up."

"What?!" Zhao Yunyan looked at his two younger brothers. "That means the danger still exists. My sister could be attacked at any time!"

"Don't worry, three young masters. Our prince has sent two guards to protect Princess Qinxin closely." Baguda waved, and Yelv Zhenxi and Nurzha came to the side of the sedan chair.

Zhao Yunyan and Zhao Yunying were slightly surprised in their hearts, looking at the disguised Zhao Yunying. These two were beyond their plans!

"Lord Baguda, our three brothers are all martial arts experts. We appreciate Prince Jin's kindness," Zhao Yunying lowered her voice and politely declined the stinky prince's henchman. "Besides, my roommate is currently too frightened and I'm not sure if strangers are approaching. To be more realistic, we're not sure if we can trust the person you sent. The same incident is not impossible to happen again. To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, we'll take care of my roommate's work ourselves."

"This is the order of the prince," Baguda said as the saying goes, and then he arched his hand at Yelv Zhenxi and ordered to set off at the front of the team.

Zhao Yunying raised her eyebrows. Why, is this man wearing a bamboo hat higher in status than Baguda? Otherwise, why would Baguda bow to him alone before leaving?

"Big brother and second brother, since it's the prince's kindness, let's stick to it. The left side will be guarded by two older brothers, and I and these two adults will guard the right side." She immediately made a decision.

"Third brother, are you... okay?" Zhao Yunyan asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, big brother, little brother, there's no problem," she assured. This person's origin is unclear, so we cannot let the irritable older brother and the rectal second brother have too much contact with him.

The wedding procession marched forward in a grand manner, and Nurzha was sent by Yelv Zhenxi to guard behind the sedan chair. He was on par with Zhao Yunying and did not look at her, nor did he take the initiative to speak. He believed that she would not endure for too long.

Sure enough.

"Ah, what's your name?" Zhao Yunying turned her head to look at Yelv Zhenxi, intending to start a "casual chat.

Yelv Zhenxi turned his head and gazed at her from under the bamboo hat. Facing her so close for the first time shook his heart greatly. She... was really beautiful!

"What's wrong? Don't you speak Chinese?" She asked, lowering her head and approaching him, then seeing his blue eyes in surprise. "Your eyes..."

He turned away his face, raised his hand and lowered his hat, greedy for her results, which exposed his own appearance.

"I'm still thinking, why are you the only one wearing an ugly hat? It's because of your eyes!" She suddenly realized.

He quietly observed her reaction. Han people were very strange. When they saw someone with black hair and eyes, they would say it was a demon. What about her? Are you afraid?

"I think your behavior is strange. Why use that ugly hat to cover your beautiful eyes?"

pretty

Yelv Zhenxi frowned. He had not heard this adjective used on him for over a decade, and in fact, he had only heard it once, which was what his master's mother said fourteen years ago.

"It seems that you really don't know how to speak Chinese, sigh!" Zhao Yunying sighed lightly, still wanting to speak Khitan to him?

"I will," he whispered.

She looked at him in surprise and said, "Really, since you know Chinese, why did you let me talk to myself for so long?"?

"Sorry," he unconsciously apologized.

She smiled slightly and said, "As long as you tell me your name, I'll forgive you."

"Yaozhi." Yelv Zhenxi, styled Yaozhi.

"Yao, Zhi?" She turned her head to look at him, raised his hat, and met his astonished blue pupils. "You're very impolite. I'm used to talking to people and looking them in the eyes."

She was really beautiful, not only that, but also full of vitality and energy. He found that his heart was uncontrollably swayed by her, and when she stared directly at him, he couldn't help but feel excited.

"Is that right?" He simply took off his bamboo hat and then heard the gasping sound of Nurpu coming from behind.

Seeing his true face, Zhao Yunying was completely stunned. Oh my goodness, he is such an extraordinary and handsome person!

Facing his overly eager gaze, her heart trembled and she involuntarily avoided his gaze, trying to remain calm.

Oh my goodness! What's wrong with her? Why is her heart beating so fast?!

"What's wrong with Third Young Master?" he deliberately asked, feeling quite excited in his heart. It seemed that she also had feelings for him.

"It's nothing." She calmed down and had to restrain any feelings she had towards the man beside her, because she was the fianc é e of Prince Jin. "May I ask you a question, is Prince Jin here?" She changed the topic.

He was slightly surprised, "How could you think so?"

She glanced at him and said, "Because of what happened last night, the two of you were added early this morning. Baguda also emphasized that it was the prince's order, otherwise it would be impossible."

"No, we were both sent by the prince to protect Princess Qinxin from the beginning."

"Why did Prince Jin specially send you two to protect my sister?"

"Because there is a three no matter zone on the border where bandits are rampant, the welcoming procession is bound to pass by. The prince highly values you... In case of any unforeseen circumstances, this is a safety measure." In fact, he was ordered to annihilate the bandits, so he simply used the welcoming procession as bait and prepared to invite the emperor into the urn.

"I see." It seems that she had a petty heart to conquer the belly of a gentleman. "Yao Zhi, what kind of person are you, Prince...?"

"Individuals have different subjective opinions, so this question will be left to the third young master to personally contact the prince before drawing his own conclusions." He weighed a thousand pounds and couldn't boast about himself, could he!

"Can't even give a rough idea?" Really, why do you keep your mouth so tight?

"This is to avoid the Three Young Masters' preconceptions."

"Okay! You just guard your shameless prince! I won't force you," Zhao Yunying said unhappily.

Yelv Zhenxi raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly.

Should he remind her that she doesn't look like a man at all now?

During lunch break, Zhao Yunying brought lunch into a sedan chair for Zhao Yunxiu.

"I can't stand it anymore, find a chance to exchange it." Zhao Yunxiu grabbed her hand and didn't let her out of the sedan.

"No, Third Brother. We have two more 'close guards' now. I've been chatting with him all morning, but if we switch back now, he will definitely notice something is wrong," she whispered.

"Damn it, is it difficult for me to hide in this sedan chair for the next few days?!" was designed!

"If Third Brother is not worried about being exposed, let's exchange it back!"

He gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it!" He accepted his fate, but he could only endure for a few days.

So, the welcoming procession walked for four days and arrived safely at the border.

At noon, after a brief rest, they planned to enter the city before nightfall, but to their surprise, after only two miles, each horse had softened its feet and knelt on the ground motionless.

Fortunately, everyone reacted quickly and no one fell off their horse as a result.

At the first moment, Nurzha came to Yelv Zhenxi's side and carefully observed the surroundings. The other twelve guards quickly secured the sedan chair, placing the sedan chair and Yelv Zhenxi in the center, while the remaining guards prepared to fight.

"Don't come out, 'Ying Mei'!" Zhao Yunying immediately stopped Zhao Yunxiu from wanting to get out of the sedan chair. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the raised corner of the sedan curtain being lowered.

"What's going on?" She asked Yelv Zhenxi beside her. Just by looking at the formations of these Liao people, she knew something was wrong, and her intelligent head made her notice another thing. These guards acted so calmly and without any confusion towards such a sudden event, as if... they knew something was going to happen long ago. They were well-trained, or

"It's a bandit," Yelv Zhenxi gazed at the nearby mountain. "Lord Baguda, it seems that we are surrounded."

Baguda couldn't adapt well to being summoned as an adult by the prince, with a slightly uneasy expression on his face.

"These horses... have been poisoned?" Zhao Yunying pondered, looking at the horses that had collapsed on the ground.

"But... how did they poison her?" Zhao Yunyan approached his sister and glanced at Yelv Zhenxi before turning his gaze back.

"That grassland," Yelv Zhenxi said indifferently, this is already the usual technique of those bandits.

"Ah! I see!" Zhao Yunying on the other side realized.

"As long as the three young masters guard the princess in the sedan chair, we can handle everything else." Yelv Zhenxi finished speaking and looked at Zhao Yunying, "You stay here obediently, don't show off."

Zhao Yunying looked at him in surprise, but his words seemed to

There was no chance for her to make more speculations, as the group of bandits, many in number, had already approached with great force.

"Kill - Kill -"

The earth shattering roar and the galloping horses shook the ground. Zhao Yunying saw this scene for the first time, with a hint of grayish white on her face,

"Don't worry, a group of rabble is vulnerable to a single blow," Yelv Zhenxi seemed to see her fear and bent over to her ear, whispering softly.

Judging from his relaxed and worry free demeanor, she somehow believed him.

"Bakuda, those people will be handed over to you," Jerv Zhenxi said.

"No problem, brothers have been sitting there for too long. I've been wanting to move my muscles and bones for a while."

Baguda laughed bloodily, it was true that they were the most elite team under Prince Jin's command. The twelve guards guarding the sedan chair were also the prince's close attendants. The elites among the elites, whether they were serving as the wedding escort team or suppressing this group of bandits, were all considered overpowered.

A great war unfolded before Zhao Yunying's eyes. No, it was not a war, but a m******e - the m******e of bandits by the escort team. Baguda only used half of his guards, but from beginning to end, no bandit had a chance to break through the outer defenses, nor did a stream of arrows have a chance to approach them. In less than an hour, nearly a hundred bandits were annihilated one by one.

"So cruel..." Zhao Yunying murmured softly, the strong smell of blood making her nauseous.

"Cruel? San Gongzi's words are not right. Do you know how despicable these bandits are? They killed more than a thousand people under their command, including several migrating tribes. All the old, weak, women, and children died under their swords." Nurza said angrily.

"Alright, Nurzha." Yelv Zhenxi calmly stopped him.

He closed his mouth and stepped aside.

Because one of the tribes is a relative of Nurza, his temper is

You're a little older, Third Young Master. Don't take it amiss. Yelv Zhenxi explained to Zhao Yunying,

Shaking her head in silence, she was talkative and had no right to speak.

Suddenly, Baguda's eyes widened and he shouted, "Be careful behind!"

He quickly drew an arrow from behind, hitched the bow, and the arrow shot out quickly, passing by them. No one was far away from the chest of the raiding robber, but it was already one step slower. The robber's arrow had already left the bow

"Be careful!" Nurzha turned around and swung his knife to cut off the arrow that had been shot hastily. The arrow was broken, but unexpectedly, with this deviation, the broken arrow shot towards Zhao Yunying.

Yelv Zhenxi was shocked, too close to stop in time. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and leaned back, narrowly brushing her clothes with a broken arrow. With a thud, she hit the sedan chair.

"Yunying!" Zhao Yunyan and Zhao Yunying, feeling anxious, called out Zhao Yunying's name.

"Are you okay?!" Yelv Zhenxi anxiously approached her.

She slowly straightened her waist and shook her head.

"I'm fine."

Did he hear his older brother and second brother calling her name?

Yelv Zhenxi breathed a sigh of relief and turned to the two brothers Zhao Yunyan.

"The eldest and second young masters don't need to worry, the arrow just hit the sedan body, and the Qinxin Princess in the sedan will be fine." Of course, he heard it, but he didn't intend to expose it, so he kindly spoke up for them.

"I'm fine, brothers don't have to worry," Zhao Yunxiu pretended to be a female voice in the sedan and said softly.

The three siblings looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

"As long as it's okay, as long as it's okay," murmured Zhao Yunyan.

"Lord Baguda, we can continue on our journey now."

Zhongjing

Here, it is much livelier than Zhao Yunying had imagined.

According to Ba Gufeng's explanation, because the team arrived earlier than the scheduled time, the Prince Jin had not yet arrived in Zhongjing. He had already sent a letter to inform the Prince that they had arrived in Zhongjing.

The three older brothers felt angry and thought they were not respected, but she didn't care and was actually very happy.

Prince Jin has a separate mansion in Zhongjing, where the wedding procession temporarily resides.

Once properly placed, Zhao Yunying regained her daughter's body, wearing a veil on her face, and began planning how to make use of these few days.

After politely rejecting Baguda's request to send another maid and resting overnight, she suggested going out for a stroll, and Baguda immediately replied with a ticket.

"Sorry, Princess Qinxin, the prince hopes the princess stays in the palace," he said respectfully, feeling quite surprised in his heart.

Along the way, Princess Qinxin was so quiet that she didn't even make a sound. If it weren't for the three young masters of the Zhao family not responding, he would have thought she had died in a sedan chair. But why did she even request to go shopping when she arrived in Zhongjing, as if she had changed her personality.

"Since it's the prince's intention, then this palace can only comply." Her eyes flickered, and then she smiled faintly. "By the way, Baguda, Yao Zhi, and Nurzha people? How could they disappear as soon as they arrived?"

His eyes flickered and he lowered his eyelids.

"They have other important matters to attend to, and they won't appear until before the chapel." They returned to the capital to see if there was any way to uncover the main envoy of the two maids who assassinated the princess.

Zhao Yunying felt a bit disappointed in her heart, but she didn't show it.

"Is there anything the princess wants from them?"

Baguda asked a rare and talkative question.

"It's nothing, just ask casually." This is also good to avoid any worries.

Returning to her temporary residence in Changchun Palace, she sat in the hall and pondered for a while. Her eyes turned, and she stood up and stepped out of the dormitory.

"Where is Princess Qinxin going?"

The guard outside the door immediately stopped her.

Tsk! Without a maid, there are more guards.

"Where are we going from this palace? Do we still have to report to you?" Her voice was indifferent, but with a noble aura.

"I dare not, we are ordered to protect the princess. For her safety, it's better to be careful."

"Alright! I'm going to find my elder brother in the palace, just follow me." She crossed over them and arrived at the "Qinghe Palace" where the three brothers were temporarily staying.

"You stay outside the door without summoning, don't come in and disturb." She gave a faint order, pushed the door and closed it with her back hand.

Upon hearing the sound, Zhao Yunyan walked out and was a bit surprised to see that it was a girl.

"You're here again, what do you want to do this time?"

"Big brother, where are the second and third brothers?" She took the veil and smiled slightly at her brother.

"We're here," Zhao Yunying and Zhao Yunxiu also walked out.

"Go to the third brother's room, I have something to discuss with you."

After almost speaking with dry lips and swearing to pledge, Zhao Yunying and Zhao Yunxiu changed their identities and disguised themselves as handsome scholars again, holding a long flute and dressed as Confucian scholars. They confidently slipped out of the palace and went shopping.

There are many vendors gathering on the street, with a large number of people coming and going. Most of them are Liao people, and there are also a few Han Chinese business trips. The atmosphere is lively, and the interaction between Liao people and Han people is relatively peaceful.

Of course, this refers to the respectful attitude of the Han people.

She temporarily resided at an inn in the north of the city and lived a carefree life for four days. Today is already the last day agreed upon with her brothers.

"Shopkeeper, please be kind and give me the medicine on credit. My mother is waiting for this medicine to treat her illness!"

A mournful female voice outside the pharmacy on the street caught Zhao Yunying's attention. She followed the sound and saw a little girl about twelve years old kneeling on the ground, her hands seemingly slightly stained with dirt, pleading with the pharmacy owner's hem.

"No way! My mother can't wait that long," cried Ah Gui with tears streaming down her face.

"That's not our business."

"Wuwu... please..." She climbed up to the door, but was kicked out by her buddy again.

Zhao Yunying shook her head and stepped forward to help her up.

A doctor without a benevolent heart is just a pure businessman.

"Little girl, take me to see your mother!"

"Huh?" Agui looked at the young master in shock, who looked like a celestial being in front of him.

"I know medical skills. Let me take your mother's pulse and then come back to take medicine," Zhao Yunying explained.

"Ah? Thank you, thank you."

"Let's go! Saving people is like putting out a fire, don't delay," she urged.

"Please follow me, Engong."

Agui led her through the neighborhood to a remote suburb where a thatched cottage was located not far away.

"Please come in, Engong."

Zhao Yunying felt a slight sympathy as she saw the room. She followed in and saw a thin and pale woman lying on the kang in the corner of the room.

"Mother, mother, Ah Gui has invited the doctor to come back and see you." Ah Gui rushed forward and whispered in her mother's ear.

"Agui..." The woman opened her eyes and weakly called out. "Mother... no need... doctor, please hurry up and let them go back. Don't waste any money..."

"Auntie, it's okay. I don't want any silver on this trip, but I'll also give you medicinal herbs," Zhao Yunying said gently as she sat on the edge of the bed.

"But... but..."

She smiled faintly and took the woman's hand to feel her pulse. Her focused expression made Ah Gui and the woman shut their mouths, afraid to disturb her again.

After a while, she put down the woman's hand and said, "Agui, give it to me..." She thought that there could be no paper or pen in this place. "Forget it, Agui, you stay at home and take good care of your mother. I'll go help her get medicine and come back soon."

"Oh, my lord..." Agui looked at her anxiously, hesitating to speak.

Zhao Yunying smiled as she understood. "Don't worry, I will definitely come back," she patted Agui's head. "Also, don't call me 'Engong'. I am a woman with the surname Zhao, Yunying. You can call me Sister Ying."

She widened her eyes in surprise and said, "Female?!" She's so amazing, she's actually a female doctor!

"Yeah! Call Sister Ying to listen."

"Sister Ying," she said with a shy smile

"So well behaved." She's the youngest daughter and hasn't been called sister yet! "I'm leaving."

Agui watched her leave and asked, "Could it be Daddy who appeared and sent a fairy to help us?" She only went to Daddy's grave a few days ago to pay respects and pray for his blessings. When several Zhengshan were in dire straits, Sister Ying appeared to help. It must be Daddy who appeared.

In less than half an hour, Zhao Yunying returned.

"Agui, here is a medicine for ten days, twice a day. Boil four bowls of water into eight parts and take it after meals," she explained.

"Okay, I remember." Taking the large bag of medicinal herbs, Agui's throat choked slightly and her nose turned sour.

"Also, this is a prescription." She handed a folded piece of paper to Agui, "Your mother's illness requires long-term recuperation, so when the medicine is finished, you can follow the prescription to the pharmacy to take the medicine. Don't go to the previous one, go to the north of the city's Medicine Hall, where the medicinal herbs are better."

Agui nodded. She knew about Yaoshantang, but she dared not say that she had no money to buy medicine.

"Agui, keep this bag of silver, I have replaced it with broken silver so that you can use it conveniently." Zhao Yunying smiled at her.

Agui opened her mouth and tears filled her eyes. Excitedly, she knelt down and kowtowed fiercely to Zhao Yunying.

"Sister Ying is very kind and generous. Ah Gui will definitely repay her someday."

"Okay, I'll wait for you, but before that, you must grow up well." Zhao Yunying smiled and helped her up. "Hurry up and decoct the medicine, your mother is still waiting."
