GTB Chapter 55
by VolareChapter 55: Is it a man or a woman?
Jiang Jiuchu knew that whatever she said was useless. While retreating, she quickly pulled out the peach blossom hairpin Song Fuge had given her from her sleeve.
But looking at the seven or eight subordinates behind the man, she dared not act rashly.
Thinking about it, this person brings so many subordinates when going out, it seems that he usually does a lot of evil deeds, and has never done less to rob women and men.
“Yo! Still a chaste and faithful woman.” The short and thin man looked at the hairpin in Jiang Jiuchu’s hand, thinking she wanted to threaten him with death to resist.
“Don’t be impulsive! It’s a pity to die. As the saying goes, it’s better to live than to die. Besides, this young master will let you eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks, what’s not to like?”
Looking at the woman in front of him, his desire to tie her back became even stronger than before.
Jiang Jiuchu wouldn’t be stupid enough to force death, how could such a person cherish the lives of others.
She pointed the hairpin at the person in front of her and said, “Don’t blame me for not reminding you, if you take another step forward, you’re done for.”
Jiang Jiuchu threatened while retreating, constantly calling out for Brother Fu in her heart, hoping he could come quickly.
Suddenly, a carriage slowly drove onto the Magpie Bridge in the distance. Jiang Jiuchu’s eyes turned, and she immediately shouted loudly, “My big brother is here to pick me up.”
The short and thin man was stunned when he heard this, and looked back along her line of sight. He saw a luxurious carriage slowly approaching. There were also two guards with swords riding horses in front of the carriage.
After Jiang Jiuchu shouted, taking advantage of the man’s stunned moment, she quickly raised her foot, bypassed the few people, and ran towards the carriage.
Seeing that their master hadn’t spoken, the few subordinates didn’t take the initiative to stop her. They just watched the woman in front of them run past them like the wind. The main reason was that they knew martial arts and could see that the two guards in front of the carriage didn’t look simple.
After the short and thin man reacted, he immediately shouted, “Are you all blind! Didn’t you see the person running over? With so many of you, are you afraid of two guards? Quickly bring the person back to me.”
He wasn’t afraid at all. His cousin was the Second Prince. In this Kyoto Imperial City, who would dare to oppose him, it would be opposing the royal family.
“Yes.” The few people responded in unison and quickly chased after Jiang Jiuchu.
Seeing that the people were still following, Jiang Jiuchu quickly shouted towards the carriage in front, “There are assassins, there are assassins…”
She didn’t know who the owner of this carriage was, but the carriage was luxurious and expensive, definitely not an ordinary person. Moreover, the black-clothed subordinates in front of the carriage had swords at their waists and cold, hard faces, looking as powerful as Leng Da, Brother Fu’s subordinate.
As for whether the person in the carriage was a human or a ghost, whether she would offend them, she couldn’t care less. After all, the people behind her wanted to forcibly take her away, could there be a worse outcome?
Mu Feng and Mu Huo, who had just experienced a wave of assassination outside the city, frowned when they heard this. They immediately pulled the horse’s reins, drew their swords from their waists, and looked at the people running towards them.
Jiang Jiuchu’s footsteps were fast, and the distance wasn’t too far. When she was about to be caught, she directly blocked the carriage.
“There are assassins, there are assassins, they want to kill people.” After she shouted, she immediately ran behind Mu Feng and Mu Huo.
However, Mu Feng and Mu Huo seemed to see that these people were not coming for them. The swords they drew did not move at all, but looked at them coldly, suspiciously, and vigilantly.
Seeing this, Jiang Jiuchu became anxious, and immediately stepped onto the side of the carriage with one foot, and was about to get inside.
At the same time, Shí Yan, who was awakened in the carriage, rubbed his temples, and just reached out to move the car door, wanting to see the situation outside.
As a result, as soon as the car door opened, a person instantly pounced in.
“Ah!”
Jiang Jiuchu exclaimed in surprise. The hand that was about to push the door open suddenly pressed into the air. Most of her body directly and inertially fell into the carriage.
Her forehead directly hit the coffee table in the carriage, making a loud noise, causing Shí Yan, who was leaning against the wall of the carriage, to frown.
“Master.” Mu Feng’s voice was a little weak. He had come in time to stop her, but he didn’t expect this girl to pounce in directly. His outstretched hand grabbed empty air.
Shí Yan looked at the harmless person who was lying on the ground and couldn’t get up for a long time… a disheveled person who was neither male nor female, and coldly ordered, “Why don’t you drag her out?”
Jiang Jiuchu, who was in so much pain from the collision, heard the man’s voice in the carriage, and quickly retracted her feet that were still exposed outside the carriage. She tilted her head and said to a pair of black brocade boots that came into view: “Don’t, don’t, don’t, there are bad people outside.”
She covered her forehead and quickly got up, “Saving a life is better than…,”
Jiang Jiuchu stopped halfway through her words, and in the light of the candles in the carriage, she clearly saw the man’s face, which was as handsome as a sculpture.
She paused, ignoring the sense of familiarity that seemed to have been seen somewhere, and continued quickly:
“Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Please save me, young master, and I will definitely thank you handsomely afterwards.”
Shí Yan looked at Jiang Jiuchu’s face, and a trace of surprise suddenly rose in his pupils. Then he turned to Mu Feng, who had stepped in with one foot, and said, “Wait.”
Mu Feng was stunned when he heard this. After receiving his master’s gaze, he responded and retreated.
“Thank you, young master.” Jiang Jiuchu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. If she was thrown down, she would probably be caught by that person who liked both men and women.
Shí Yan suppressed the exploration in his eyes, leaned back on the inside, in a lazy posture, looking up and down at Jiang Jiuchu, and then said lightly: “Is it a man… or a woman?”
Jiang Jiuchu’s eyes widened when she heard this, and she looked down at her scattered black hair, thinking, she’s like this, can’t you tell if she’s a man or a woman? Could it be that she looks like a man?
“It’s a woman.” She decided to obediently answer this young master with bad eyesight, after all, she still needed his protection at this time.
“Oh! Since it’s a woman, why is she dressed like this?” Shí Yan said, looking at the package she had dropped aside, “Carrying a package in the middle of the night, is she… running away from home?”
He looked at Jiang Jiuchu’s face, thinking, could it be that his imperial sister… was not talking nonsense? Or is it just that this girl looks alike?
Seeing this, Jiang Jiuchu quickly picked up the package, “No… no, I’m visiting relatives, yes, visiting relatives.”
At this time, the short and thin man outside the car ran over panting. Seeing that his seven or eight subordinates couldn’t beat the two guards, he immediately threatened the carriage loudly:
“I am the cousin of the current Second Prince. If you dare to oppose me, I’m afraid you think you’re having too easy a time. Why don’t you obediently send the girl in the carriage out to me.”
However, the reply that came into his ears was a cold “Spare no one.”
When Mu Feng and Mu Huo heard this, they didn’t care about anything and started fighting directly. In a moment, they beat the seven or eight people to the ground, wailing. Even the short and thin man was beaten until he was barely breathing.
Jiang Jiuchu poked her head out and looked at the scene outside the car. Seeing the two subordinates who were slightly injured, leading the short and thin man away as if they were fleeing, she couldn’t help but snorted coldly, feeling very relieved.
She turned her head and thanked Shí Yan in the car: “Thank you, young master, for your rescue, sorry for the trouble.”
After she finished speaking, she raised her hand and touched her forehead, which was still aching, and planned to get out of the car and leave.
