Although Xuanyuan Yi has a clear understanding of the preliminary situation of corruption in the officialdom of Jizhou, he is not in a hurry to return to Luo Capital because the crisis there has been resolved, and dealing with corruption is not an urgent matter at the moment. During his stay in Jizhou, An ling-Yao spends more time sightseeing and exploring the local customs and practices, while Xuanyuan Yi takes Liu Xuan to almost every county in Jizhou to gain a deep understanding of their specific situations. On this day, Xuanyuan Yi and Liu Xuan arrived at the eastern city of Qinghe County in the west of Jizhou, intending to take a break there and gather information.
Everything was going smoothly, but unexpected events can occur. Just as Xuanyuan Yi was traveling alone to the village, the assassins who had previously disappeared suddenly reappeared.
While Xuanyuan Yi was still immersed in the simplicity and tranquility of the countryside, a dark figure suddenly rushed out from the crowd, wielding a sword and heading straight for Xuanyuan Yi.
Although Xuanyuan Yi was skilled in martial arts, their lack of combat experience quickly led to defeat. Seeing the situation was not in their favor, Xuanyuan Yi could only fight and retreat until they reached the riverbank.
Xuanyuan Yi The assassins in front looked around and immediately understood Xuanyuan Yi's intention. They began to mock, "It seems that the prince has found a good resting place for himself. But we are not indiscriminate killers after all. Our master has ordered that as long as you, Your Highness, can hand over what you have, we can spare your life."
Although Xuanyuan Yi was covered in wounds, he still tightly gripped the precious sword in his hand and angrily retorted, "You are just a bunch of lackeys for corrupt officials! You think I will give up like this? Dream on! When I return to Luo Capital, I will make sure to tear you all to pieces!" With that, he advanced to engage in combat with them.
However, the enemy was numerous and Xuanyuan Yi was already injured, causing him to gradually fall into a disadvantage. Seeing that he was no match, Xuanyuan Yi glanced at the river. In the end, he had to take a desperate move, leaping into the river. The assassins wanted to pursue, but due to the swift current, they were unwilling to take the risk and could only watch as the river carried Xuanyuan Yi away.
When Xuanyuan Yi woke up, he found himself in a strange wooden house. His injuries had already been treated. Just then, the door of the wooden house suddenly opened. Xuanyuan Yi turned his head and saw a young woman in simple clothes. When the woman saw Xuanyuan Yi awake, she approached with joy and said, "You're awake. How do you feel? Is there anywhere that still feels uncomfortable?" Xuanyuan Yi struggled to sit up, intending to thank the girl, but accidentally pulled at his wound, causing him intense pain.
The girl, seeing the situation, hurried forward to help Xuanyuan Yi lie down, saying, "Young master, there's no need for such formality. At the time, I was washing clothes by the river and happened to see you faint by the riverside, seriously injured. I couldn't bear to leave you there, so I saved you."
Xuanyuan Yi expressed his gratitude, "I am truly thankful to the girl! If it weren't for your help, I would have been at the mercy of fate. By the way, may I ask for the girl's name?"
"My name is Muzhi. If young master doesn't mind, you can call me Xiaozhi," Muzhi replied.
"I dare not, so I will still call you Miss Mu. May I ask, Miss Mu, where are we?" Xuanyuan Yi asked Muzhi.
Muzhi replied, "This is Taoyuan Village, a small village located in the Jizhou Plain Prefecture."
The Jizhou Plain Prefecture? I actually ended up in the Jizhou Plain Prefecture following the river. Fortunately, it's not too far from Wei Commandery, just a day's journey back and forth, Xuanyuan thought to himself.
In Wei Commandery, upon learning that Xuanyuan Yi had been attacked and had jumped into the river, Liu Xuan became extremely anxious. He quickly dispatched personnel to search along the river in the surrounding counties, determined to find Xuanyuan Yi's whereabouts. At the same time, he ordered the news to be blocked, most importantly to prevent An ling-Yao from learning about Xuanyuan Yi's attack.
However, the news of Xuanyuan Yi's attack eventually reached An ling-Yao. Upon hearing this, An ling-Yao became very worried about Xuanyuan Yi's safety and immediately decided to go to Qinghe County to search for him.
Han Ze, seeing An ling-Yao risking herself, quickly tried to dissuade her, saying, "Miss Mo, you cannot go to Qinghe County. His Highness's life and death are uncertain, and there are no clues about the assassin. If you go rashly, and something happens, we will be to blame. Please, Miss Mo, think twice." After speaking, he quickly knelt down. The others also knelt down and pleaded together, "Please, Miss Mo, think twice!"
An ling-Yao saw the situation and instead of getting angry, she smiled and said, "Alright, alright, alright! So now all you slaves can come and threaten me, huh? I really want to see, when I go out today, who dares to stop me!" As soon as she said this, there was silence below, but they still stood in front of An ling-Yao.
Han Ze responded with a bow, "I dare not. I am only worried about Miss Mo's safety. After all, His Royal Highness said that I should protect you."
An ling-Yao became even angrier upon hearing this, and a book was thrown at Han Ze's face. She angrily rebuked him, saying, "So you listen to the Crown Prince, huh? But you don't care about his safety. If something happens to the Crown Prince, wouldn't that be your fault? Answer me!"
With these words, Han Ze was left speechless. However, he remained firm in his decision, remembering what Xuanyuan Yi had said. He was determined not to let An ling-Yao take any risks. Before leaving, Xuanyuan Yi had told him that if An ling-Yao ever asked Han Ze to save him when he was in danger, he should not listen. Han Ze's only task was to protect An ling-Yao.
After a long silence, Han Ze slowly said, "I'm sorry, but the Crown Prince's only task for me is to protect your safety. I cannot abandon my duty."
An ling-Yao saw Han Ze standing outside the door, sighed helplessly, and then looked worriedly into the distance. Han Ze did not insist on going out, which finally relieved him, and then he returned to his own position. After all, if An ling-Yao really insisted, Han Ze wouldn't dare to do anything to her. Han Ze didn't give an inch and An ling-Yao could only angrily turn back to her room and forcefully close the door.
The evening sun still hangs high in the sky outside the window, and from time to time, the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves can be heard...
