The naughty and cowardly little crybaby sold himself out

Chapter 98 What are your principles and bottom line?

After Chi Mei returned, he conveyed Chu Jian's request, but Fu Sang said that her internal injuries had not yet healed and it was not convenient for her to travel long distances, so she should wait for more news. If there was no news, he would personally send her back to Lingyin Country after he had finished the things on hand. Chu Jian agreed.

Several days passed like this, and her injuries were almost healed, but still no news reached her and no one came to pick her up. Chu Jian became more and more panicked.

There was no way Jing Muyang would not come to find her, unless something unexpected happened. Did he really think that the unrecognizable corpse was her?

It seemed that she had no choice but to go back by herself.

That day, Hatsumi made this request again, and Fuso agreed.

"Miss Chu, I know you are eager to return home. I have almost finished my work here. I will let Chi Yun make the arrangements today and leave tomorrow. I will definitely take you home." Fusang stood up and walked out. "You stay in the pharmacy. I will go to check the situation in the quarantine area. There are still some matters that need to be handled."

"Okay." Chu Jian finally relaxed and went back to the room to start packing.

In fact, she didn't have much to pack, except for a few sets of spare clothes and a few pearl hairpins that Fusang had people buy for her, and some pills that she had specially made for herself these days. Although her internal injuries had basically healed, she still had to replenish her body and strengthen her body. After she returned, she had to give birth to a little prince with Mu Yang. When she thought of this, she couldn't help but blush and smile.

On the second day, they really set off, but they did not take the water route. It was the flood season in Qingshui Town, and there were too many driftwood and debris floating down from upstream in the river. It was easy for boats to collide and cause accidents. Moreover, the river was rushing too fast, so it was very slow to go upstream.

Fuso arranged a comfortable carriage to cross the border from Qingshui Town to Nan'an, but this section of the road is rather roundabout, and there is a section with few people, and there are many bandits on the border, so it is not very safe.

But these could not stop Chu Jian's determination to return to Lingying Country. She prepared several kinds of poisons and kept them tightly in her hands to save her life at the critical moment.

As the saying goes, there are unexpected changes in the weather and people are subject to misfortunes and blessings at any time.

Some things are lurking there before you even notice them, just waiting for you to show up and hit you.

When she first met him, she would never have imagined that there would be many hardships waiting for her in the future.

In addition to Chi Mei and Chi Yun, Fuso also brought ten people and formed a escort team to set off.

On the way from Qingshui Town to the border, we encountered the first wave of bandits. The bandits robbed us and the fighting was quite fierce. I regretted not waiting a few more days at first sight. If Jing Muyang was there, we would definitely not be attacked so easily.

Then they encountered the second wave of bandits. There were more of them, so Fuso had to leave the escort behind for safety and finally let them go.

Afterwards, they crossed the border and arrived in Nan'an. They were in a good mood when they first met Shun. She remembered the loss of Fuso and she would repay it when she returned to Beijing.

But the nightmare began after entering Nan'an.

Wave after wave of attacks kept them pinned down near the border.

"Fuso, what's going on? We're not that conspicuous. We've even changed our carriages. Why are you always chasing us?"

"I don't know. Let's take a rest first. It seems we can't enter the city today."

There were only seven left in Fuso's team of fourteen. He was thinking in his head that those bandits, especially the last few waves, did not look like bandits, but assassins, and they seemed to be coming for Miss Chu.

What is the identity of this girl? If she is just the daughter of a pharmacy owner, is it necessary to send people to hunt her down?

The seven people hid in the woods. The fight just now was too horrific. However, Chu Jian also found that the kung fu of the people led by Fuso was also strong, especially Chi Mei and Chi Yun, who were completely comparable to Qing Lin and Qing Ye.

In addition, he arranged things so smoothly in Qingshui Town, and was specially hired by the government. What is Fusang's identity? Is he really just an ordinary medicinal material merchant? Could he be an imperial merchant?

Both sides are speculating.

However, they did not have much time to guess, as soon another wave of people attacked. Every move they made was deadly, and the Fuso people could not withstand it.

Chi Mei and Chi Yun delayed their opponents, while Fuso dragged Chu Jian into the depths of the woods.

She had just recovered from a serious injury and had just survived several rounds of ambushes. Moreover, it was difficult to move in the woods, so she really couldn't run.

"Rest, rest, I'm out of strength!" Chu Jian panted and stopped at a turning stone wall.

"Okay." After Fusang pulled her into the vines on the stone wall, she found that the dense forest in the south had this good point. There were ancient and tall trees everywhere, and dense vines grew wildly everywhere, making many places a hiding place.

"Fuso, will they catch up with us?"

She was scared when she first saw them, she could feel that those people were coming for her.

"I don't know." There was only a small depression behind the vine, and the two of them sat down close together to catch their breath.

"Miss Chu, can you tell me who they are and why they are chasing you?"

"I don't know either." Chu Jian lowered his head and didn't dare to look into his eyes.

"Then tell me who you are?"

Fuso kept staring at her, this woman was no ordinary person, but he hadn't fully thought of who she might be. Although he had some doubts, her behavior was not worthy of that person.

"Tell me who you are first?" Chu Jian looked up and met his eyes and said in a low voice.

Fuso looked at her frightened eyes, weak and helpless.

"Forget it. No matter who you are, I will save you because you have saved thousands of Nanbang people."

"Thank you!" Chu Jian then said, "I'm sorry, I got you into trouble. Don't worry, I will definitely repay you when I return. As long as it doesn't touch my principles and bottom line, I can agree to anything you want."

Fuso looked into those shining eyes. This was her very solemn promise. He knew that once she made a promise, she would definitely do it.

"What are your principles and bottom line?"

"It means not violating morality, not violating laws, not violating human ethics, and not forcing me to betray. That's probably it." Chu Jian said in a general way.

"It seems that you are a very kind person." Fuso almost laughed when she first saw his serious look.

"Okay, I didn't expect anything from you in return, but now I'm looking forward to it."

"Well...that requires me to be able to deliver and do it. You can't make some vague requests." Chu Jian quickly added.

"Haha, good! I won't make it too difficult for you."

This was the first time Fuso saw her with such an attitude, which was a bit playful and cute, a little different from her previous cautious attitude.

The two of them rested for a while and then continued walking into the woods, leaving some marks from time to time to make it easier for Chi Mei and Chi Yun to find them. At the same time, they also wanted to see if they had left any marks.

However, he didn't find the Red Demon, but he encountered two assassins. It seems that there are quite a lot of assassins in this forest.

"Hide!" Fuso pushed Chujian aside and then started fighting with the two men.

After looking around at first sight, she found quite a lot of places to hide. After she crawled into a dense vine, she could still vaguely see the situation outside.

Although Fuso's martial arts skills were not as good as Chimei's, they were still pretty good. It didn't take long for him to deal with the two men. However, he heard the sound of many people coming this way. He looked back at where Chujian was hiding, and resolutely ran in another direction.

Chu Jian watched him go away from behind the vines. In just four or five breaths, seven or eight people chased after him. She was so scared that she covered her mouth tightly to prevent herself from crying out loud.

She knew that Fuso was leading those people away and facing the assassins alone, but those assassins were clearly coming for her.

She just said that she would repay him. If Fuso died, then there would be no point in her repaying him!
