Chapter 308: The Story of the Western Regions
"Don't talk nonsense, sit down quickly, although you are only a small injury, but if you don't deal with it in time, it will not work." Yang Yanxi twisted his eyebrows and pressed Zhang Erniu to sit on the chair next to him, and said with a serious face.
At this time, Bai Yu, who rushed to the outer hall, saw the guest that Lu'er was entertaining.
The man looked like a Gentile and was dressed markedly differently from the people here, with a veil on his face. And he looks like a relatively wealthy person, and the materials used in the clothes on his body are particularly noble.
"Girl, our shopkeeper is here, if you feel uncomfortable, just tell our shopkeeper directly, and she will help you diagnose carefully." After Lu'er finished speaking, he retreated first.
Bai Yu simply said hello to the other party, and knew that her name was Natasha, and she came from a country far west. It was the time when the plague was in power, and the people were struggling to make a living.
"So you're here to take refuge?" Bai Yu was a little surprised by Natasha's experience, a woman from the Western Regions who could escape here on foot must have a perseverance that was different from ordinary people.
Natasha sighed, remembering the time before she left.
Rewind to a year ago, Natasha came to a dilapidated mansion, the family had been the owner of food and clothing, but now because of the plague, the family wealth has long been ruined, and it looks like a bleak place.
"Who are you looking for? I don't have the person you're looking for here. Natasha stood outside the courtyard gate for a while, and a stocky-looking woman came out of it, glanced her up and down suspiciously for a while, and said unceremoniously.
This person looked at her decently dressed, and her eyes were full of jealousy, in this troubled world, the only people who can be alone are those shameless and corrupt officials who rely on the mountains to eat the mountains.
When the mother-in-law thought about it, she hated Natasha thoroughly with her preconceived idea, stretched out her dirty hand and pushed her out of the courtyard gate, watching her fall to the bottom of the steps.
"Madame misunderstood, I am the daughter of the Protector of the Western Regions, and today I specially found a way to cure the plague for Madame's family......" Natasha covered her face with her sleeve, the smoke was very large, and she coughed incessantly.
Hearing that the other party was really the daughter of an official family, and the more she heard about it, the more familiar she became, the mother-in-law glanced at Natasha on the ground with bad intentions, but she remembered where she had heard this name.
"Yo, isn't this the famous Bodhisattva who saves the country? Why, didn't you save the plague before? Today I deliberately used silver taels to shut my mouth, so that I would not talk about my son's tragic death everywhere, so as not to ruin your reputation? The mother-in-law said loudly at the top of her voice.
The voice was not loud, but it was heard clearly by people who were a few streets away. It didn't take long for the suffering people to gather around to see the excitement.
Natasha in the center of the crowd was quickly drowned out by the chatter, and she tried hard to explain, but no one wanted to hear her.
At this moment, she was like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, looking at her eyes, all around her were staring at her.
"Aren't you a living heal of the plague? Didn't you say that the plague was all cured? What's going on now?! ”
"With so much money and money rewarded by the emperor, why don't you see how much you take out to help the people?"
"It's really a heinous thing to use money and silver to think about sealing the truth."
……
These poor people are already at the bottom of society, and they have no anger to release on weekdays, and even if they catch Natasha, they will naturally not give up.
As he spoke, someone even moved his hand and kicked Natasha.
"Miss! Daring! How dare you be disrespectful to my young lady? My young lady is the daughter of the adult, how can you afford to be lazy?! Renzi squeezed out of the crowd and protected Natasha, blocking the kick alive.
Seeing the appearance of Lianzi enduring the pain and arguing with reason, Natasha's expression was complicated.
It's bad, I'm afraid it's a bureau.
As soon as she figured it out, she felt a clear murderous aura from the crowd. It's not good, it's not good to stay here!
I'm afraid that someone came here to take her life, but as for whose order it was, I think it should have nothing to do with the Eighth Prince. She quickly sorted out the situation and pressed the lotus seed who wanted to get up and argue.
She whispered a few words in Lianzi's ear, and Lianzi's face turned white with fright.
"Miss, just run away, even if I sacrifice my life here, I will protect Miss for Lord Duhu!" Thinking that there might be a parting of life and death later, Lianzi said with tears in her eyes.
At this time, the crowd poured in again, and they were like two rabbits trapped in a cage, which could only be slaughtered by others, and they had no power to fight back.
Renzi pushed away a few people who looked thinner, opening up a way for Natasha to escape.
"Miss, run away!" She shouted at Natasha on the ground, so she looked at death as home, Natasha was also stunned, and tears fell like rain.
Knowing that she couldn't resist for long, Renzi delayed as much time as possible so that Natasha would have enough time to escape.
Unexpectedly, the target of the crowd seemed to be Natasha from the beginning, and she didn't run a few steps before she was surrounded by a human wall.
"Don't let this bewitch run away! My son's life, I will make her pay for it with blood! "The leader is the mother-in-law just now, and as soon as she opens her mouth, she is the master of the plague of sentient beings.
The emotions of the crowd were aroused by her, and they all shouted to sanction Natasha.
"I didn't, I didn't ......" Natasha covered her ears a little helplessly, slowly crouched on the ground, and muttered in her mouth.
At this time, she knew that no matter what she said, these people would not listen.
No matter how smart the envoy is, he still has taken a dead move today.
Lianzi was beaten badly, and those people took her as a target for venting, punching and kicking her, but she didn't say anything, just bit her chin tightly, and kept looking out of the crowd, wanting to know if Natasha had escaped.
Suddenly, a sharp blade stabbed through the gap in the crowd, and with a piercing cold, it was straight towards Natasha.
By the time Natasha reacted, the blade was already close to her neck, and she quickly dodged back, but the man still wrapped around her.
The onlookers smelled the danger, and naturally immediately dispersed, and on the huge street, only Natasha's master and servant, as well as the masked man with the knife, were left.
"Who are you? Dare to assassinate the capital, the daughter of the capital protector ......" Lianzi crawled in front of Natasha and glared angrily at the person in front of her.
Oh no, that man is a dead man! Natasha had already noticed it just by looking at the knifeman's eyes.
"Die!" The swordsman took to the air in three or two steps, swung his long knife and stabbed at Natasha.
Between the lightning and flint, a figure in a luxurious purple robe suddenly flashed.
