Awesome masterpiece

  "I understand, thank you, Miss Fang."

  He also saved my life, so this matter is evened out.

  Linglong suddenly came back to her senses, hastily went forward to support Ruxiang, and Xiangxiang cried with a sad face. "Miss, how can you use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to save someone? If this gets out, what will happen?"

  "Is there any other way?" If Li Xiao died, she would be miserable. "Forget it, anyway you won't say, I won't say, everyone will keep the secret, and no outsider will know."

  "But there is no wall in this world that doesn't let wind through." Linglong was worried about this too.

  With great difficulty, she lifted her head, having just jumped off the horse carriage, and then ran away again, and then had another fierce battle with the villain, and then was submerged in water for a while, and then saved Li Xiao, she had already exhausted all her strength, at this time, she didn't even have the energy to open her mouth.

  "This is also an unavoidable thing." If it really came to that, she would either break off the engagement with the Wei family or marry far away. She couldn't stay in Shanxi, nor could she stay in the capital city, but there must be a place where she could settle down.

  Even marrying into a humble family is better than being beaten or drowned to death.

  Chen Xiang nodded with tears in his eyes, "It's all my fault, I'm useless, and I've dragged you down, miss."

  As if panting for breath, "Normally you look calm and composed, but when it comes to a critical moment, even Linglong can't compare with you."

  Chen Xiang's face turned red with shame, "It's all because I'm useless." Yu Qin, who was beside her, also crawled forward, "Miss, it's all because I'm incompetent and implicated you."

  He looked at her with a mixture of emotions and slowly shook his head, "Forget it, after all, the matter has already passed. This thing is also my fault, if I didn't go out, this wouldn't have happened."

  Li Xue also woke up at this time, having just gone through a fierce battle and rushed to save Ru Qing. Due to cramps and drowning, he was almost out of strength. After resting for a while, he recovered about 30% of his energy and learned that he had been saved by Ru Qing's spell. With the support of the guards, he got up and walked towards Ru Qing.

  "Miss Fang, are you okay?"

  As soon as she saw Li Xiao, her heart panicked. With the help of Chen Xiang's support, she barely got up and smiled gratefully at Li Xiao: "I'm fine, thank you, Your Highness, for saving me. I will never forget your great kindness."

  "Saving one life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, Miss. You're being too polite."

  Later, Yu Qing learned that Li Xiu had finally defeated the Tartars and was originally going to support Liu Daqiang and others, but Liu Daqiang let him save Yu Qing. Then Li Xiu brought his remaining guards all the way to chase and rescue Yu Qing and her four servants.

  Linglong also simply recounted what had happened, and then she bowed to Li Xiaofu once again, this time with utmost sincerity.

  Li Xiao waved his hand and said, "Miss, you don't have to thank me. Your brother and I are fellow disciples and brothers who have been friends for many years, so it's only natural that we help each other out of both affection and duty. But Miss, you're quite impressive too - a delicate and weak woman like yourself was actually able to deal with those brutal and cruel Tartars. How did you manage to do it?"

  As if feeling embarrassed, she suddenly felt very awkward and wanted to gloss over it with a few words, but unexpectedly, Linglong had already blurted out the whole thing.

  Li Xiao and others heard a loud shout, looked at Ruhua again, and then looked at Linglong, "Are you saying that your family's girl let each of you deal with one person, specifically targeting the weak points?"

  Lingling mistakenly took Li Xiao's stunned expression as a sign of praise, and said with flying eyebrows and colorful language, "Yes, let's divide our work. You and I will take care of one each. I was lucky, my opponent was not very strong, and I kicked him when he wasn't paying attention, right in the ***, then continued to attack, picked up a stone and hit him hard, haha, this guy was taken down by me." Lingling was young, but she was an old fan of gossip, and under the influence of Ruoxi, her vocabulary was quite rich. With exaggerated language and gestures, she spoke with ups and downs, drawing people in. Finally, she talked about how Ruoxi single-handedly took care of two bad guys, making him sound incredibly brave and fierce.

  Li Xiao's face almost fell off, "Specialty is kicking people to death?" He looked at Ru Qing with a smile that was not quite a smile, unsure whether he should admire or fear her, "Miss is really formidable, knows the principle of hitting the snake at seven inches, Li Xiao admires."

  "Your Majesty is overpraising me. As a weak and delicate woman, if I were to match strength with someone, I wouldn't be a worthy opponent, so I had to resort to cunning tactics." She didn't want to continue this topic anymore, as ancient women couldn't be too strong-willed, which would also put pressure on the husband's family. Ru Qing hastily changed the subject, "Uh, did Your Majesty send someone to inform my brother? I'm feeling really unwell now and just want to return to General's Manor." She was in pain all over her body, and her lungs were also aching terribly, probably due to inhaling water.

  Li Xiao suddenly realized, "Oh no, I was so focused on rescuing the young lady that I forgot to send someone to inform Zhiyi. But don't worry, young lady, I will ensure your safe escort back to General's Manor."

  Ruyi smiled brightly and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Your Majesty."

  Li Xue looked at her deeply, and found that her hair was disheveled and stuck to her cheek. Her face, a mixture of mud, water, and blood, still looked touching. He hastily asked: "Are you injured?"

  Ru Jing touched her face, only to realize that the left half of her face was numb and swollen, with a slight fishy smell in her mouth and oral cavity. She couldn't help but smile wryly, guessing that she had broken the skin. But she still shook her head, "It's just a minor injury, it doesn't matter. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."

  Suddenly, I found that this man wasn't too bad after all. At least when he was in a difficult situation himself, he still thought of coming to rescue me. A sense of guilt suddenly arose, and I decided that later I would definitely take the small wooden doll from under the bed and burn it.

  Li Xiao found Ruo Qing shivering with her whole body wet, and ordered one of the guards to take off his cloak and hand it over to Ruo Qing, "Put it on, don't catch a chill."

  Ru Jing took over the cloak with mud and blood stains, as well as many scratches, and smiled gratefully at Li Xiao, "Thank you, Your Highness." He also thanked the guard.

  Li Xiao wrapped himself in a tattered and worn-out cloak that didn't match his physique, and ordered his subordinates to drag back the corpses of several Tartars to bury them. When the guards were dragging one of the corpses, they let out an exclamation of surprise. Li Xiao heard the sound and went forward to investigate, only to see that this person's death was extremely tragic, with their head and face completely smashed into a bloody pulp, especially the lower body, which was too gruesome to behold.

  Several guards looked at Ru Jing and others subconsciously, thinking to themselves that it was hard to tell, these girls looked so delicate and weak, but unexpectedly had such good skills.

  Li Xiao's lips curled up with a hint of a smile, his eyes swept across Ruo Xue's face, and he chuckled: "Dying in such a miserable way, I wonder whose masterpiece it is."
