Since this girl dared to break into the village alone in the middle of the night to inquire about the situation, she must have leverage and ability.
He also knew a little about the Three-Legged Cat Kungfu to defend himself, not to mention that he was thirsty and hungry now. He had been beaten after being caught, and he was very weak now, so he didn't dare to really take action.
What's more, when he thought about the hexagrams he calculated some days ago, he didn't dare to have any thoughts.
So he asked quickly before Jiang Zhiyue took action.
"Girl came from another world, don't you think about why?"
Jiang Zhiyue suddenly stopped and looked at Bai Yifeng with defensive eyes.
"Who the hell are you!"
She clenched the dagger in her hand again, already wary of Bai Yifeng, and planned to take action at any time.
Once her identity is revealed, it is inevitable that no one will have any thoughts to harm her, and she may even be treated as a goblin and burned to death.
She didn't want to live again and die in such a miserable way.
"My descendant is Bai Yifeng, a disciple of the former prime minister of the Wu Dynasty." Bai Yifeng bowed to Jiang Zhiyue seriously.
Why is he said to be the former prime minister? Of course it is because his master has requested to retire into seclusion.
Nowadays, the emperor advocates the art of alchemy, but he believes in the villain's slander and constantly attacks his master.
His master, the old man, resigned after being disheartened after many attempts to persuade him failed.
However, not long ago, when his master made another divination, he calculated that the purple energy of the Wu Dynasty was declining, and two new emperor stars actually rose.
His master said that there had never been two emperor stars in thousands of years.
Originally, the two emperor stars were shining brightly, but suddenly one of them weakened, and the situation looked extremely bad.
The other one is purple all over but is surrounded by a lot of black energy.
His master said that it would not be a good thing for the people if the emperor star surrounded by black energy succeeded to the throne, and the Wu Dynasty would still inevitably suffer the fate of the country's destruction.
However, the other emperor star is sometimes strong and sometimes weak, and there is also an evil spirit nearby. If there is no external force to suppress it, it will damage the foundation of the country.
This could hardly harm his old master. Will the Wu Dynasty be destroyed?
But just half a month ago, the master calculated that there was a person from another world who could suppress the Emperor Star and revive the country's destiny.
After calculating that a 'variable' appeared, he was sent here to look for someone.
But before anyone could find it, there was a locust plague and an earthquake.
When he went out, he took two boys with him and died trying to protect him, and he himself was caught here.
He could have escaped originally, but he calculated that the person who would produce a 'variable' that the master asked him to find would appear here, so he kept waiting for someone.
"The old man calculated that someone from another world would come here and change the fate of the declining Wu Dynasty. He specially asked me to come to find you, but there was something unexpected on the way..."
Jiang Zhiyue was a little surprised that someone could figure out that she was not the real Jiang Zhiyue here?
Does that mean there are other people who know her identity?
She asked coldly: "How many other people know about this!"
Bai Yifeng breathed a sigh of relief, just believe it.
Otherwise, it will not be easy for him to leave here even if the task assigned to him by his master has not been completed.
Now that he is protected by a lucky person who can even change the destiny of the country, then all problems will surely be solved.
"Girl, there is no need to panic. This is a serious matter. Originally, only my master and I knew about it, but now, girl, you are the one who knows about it."
Jiang Zhiyue put down the hand holding the dagger and said, "My name is Jiang Zhiyue."
"I am just an ordinary person. I have to flee with my family. I cannot change the national destiny of the Wu Dynasty. If Mr. Bai wants to find someone, he should look for him elsewhere."
Although she thought about using her unlimited space to help others.
But she was deeply unwilling to allow her to 'complicit' with the royal family.
When she first read the book, she couldn't stand the behavior of the emperor and the fourth prince, but she was a soft-spoken woman. In this era, women didn't have much say. She just wanted to protect the Jiang family and live a stable life.
Even if what Bai Yifeng said was true, she was not willing to help the fourth prince seize the throne.
"Miss Jiang, stay back. I know it's unfair to force this matter on you, but if the girl is unwilling to help the new emperor, the Wu Dynasty will never have peace." Bai Yifeng said urgently.
"New Emperor Star? Is he the fourth prince?" Jiang Zhiyue asked.
"No, there are two newly rising emperor stars. Master, the old man said that the fourth prince's emperor star is surrounded by black mist. If the Wu Dynasty is handed over to him, the people will still not be able to change the fate of the people, so the emperor I am talking about
The star is another."
What he didn't say was that another emperor's star was flashing back and forth alternately, making ginseng impenetrable. His master had not yet figured out where it was.
However, I figured out a while ago that someone came from another world. As long as I followed her and let nature take its course, I would be able to find this new emperor star.
So this is the main reason why he wants to follow Jiang Zhiyue.
"Who is that?" Jiang Zhiyue was a little curious.
The first thing she thought of was the poor villain in the original book, but she dismissed it when she thought of the ending in the book.
How could a mortal man be the new emperor of the Wu Dynasty?
Before Jiang Zhiyue refused again, Bai Yifeng continued: "I don't know who this new emperor star is at the moment, but the Wu Dynasty is suffering from internal and external troubles, and I hope Miss Jiang can help."
"I hope Miss Jiang can protect the wu dynasty and bring peace to the world!"
Bai Yifeng persuaded him a lot, and finally, Jiang Zhiyue took the person back out of a little compassion in her heart.
Jiang Zhiyue walked back along the original path, followed by Bai Yifeng who was walking a little slowly.
Jiang Zhiyue turned to look at him, frowned and asked, "Why are you so weak that you can't even keep up?"
Bai Yifeng explained in embarrassment: "I haven't had a drop of water in two days, and my body is a little weak, which has caused trouble for Miss Jiang."
Not to mention that the robbers had no intention of giving him food. Even after he was able to move freely, he saw that those people were eating human flesh.
Out of instinct, I naturally felt that the water they had was not clean, so I didn’t drink it.
There was even less food, he couldn't make a fire to cook, and the dry food he carried was also taken away, so he could only starve.
Jiang Zhiyue didn't say anything more, but just slowed down a little.
Bai Yifeng noticed this and became even more convinced that she was the person he was looking for. He was indeed a beautiful person with a kind heart.
Although he said something unpleasant, he still didn't really leave him behind.
If she knew what he was thinking, Jiang Zhiyue would definitely tell him with disdain: Aren't you the one who wanted to follow me because you were so shameless?
By the time Jiang Zhiyue returned to the team with Bai Yifeng, three hours had passed, and it was already the beginning of Yinshi (three o'clock in the morning).
The people watching the night have changed. Now it is his father and eldest brother who are keeping watch. Not far away, the people watching the night in Jiangjia Village are falling asleep.
When they saw Jiang Zhiyue coming back, before the two of them could even ask a few words, they saw someone else behind them.
"Daughter, who is this?" Jiang Yuchao asked looking at the man appearing behind Jiang Zhiyue.
At this time, Bai Yifeng also walked up to Jiang Yuchao and Jiang Dalang.
He smiled and said: "Hello, uncle, my name is Bai Yifeng. I was kidnapped by robbers and taken to the village a few days ago. Thanks to Miss Jiang, I was rescued from the bandit's den just now."
Jiang Yuchao and Jiang Dalang looked at Jiang Zhiyue and were relieved when they saw her nodding.
But even though I was saved, why did I bring it home?
It's not like his daughter/sister's style.
The two of them couldn't help but look at Bai Yifeng a few more times.
Hmm~ He's tall, but he looks a bit thin, and he looks weaker than them, so how can he do that!
Jiang Zhiyue walked to the bullock cart, took down two steamed buns from it, took his water bag, added some water to it, and handed it to Bai Yifeng.
Bai Yifeng thanked him, took it and ate it.
I haven't eaten for two days, and now I feel that the dry steamed buns are so delicious.
"I will explain his matter after dawn. I will take a rest first," Jiang Zhiyue said.
She had been running for so long tonight, and seeing those people's "extra meals", she was already exhausted physically and mentally.
Jiang Yuchao gave her a distressed look and said, "Okay, go and take a nap quickly. When Mr. Bai finishes eating, let him lie down with us and take a nap."
…
Early the next morning, people woke up one after another.
I had enough rest yesterday, so I wasn't that sleepy in the morning.
Jiang Zhiyue also opened her eyes after hearing the movement. Although she had only rested for less than four hours, she was not that tired anymore.
Everyone saw the extra Bai Yifeng as soon as they woke up.
Bai Yifeng greeted each of them politely. He didn't know who they were yet, so he could only call them based on their age.
Jiang Yuchao explained to everyone that this person was rescued by Jiang Zhiyue from the bandits last night, and asked them to make an extra portion when making breakfast.
So as soon as everyone saw Jiang Zhiyue woke up, they asked out of curiosity.
"Sister, who is he?" Jiang Sanlang came up and asked.
Jiang Zhiyue then told her as much as she could about how she went out yesterday to inquire about information and how Bai Yifeng came back.
Then he added: "Mr. Bai said that he was separated from his servants at home, and he happened to be going south. We will give him a ride, and he will pay us the 'escort fee' when we get there."
After saying that, Jiang Zhiyue looked at Bai Yifeng with a smile and asked, "Is that what I said, Mr. Bai?"
Seeing Jiang Zhiyue smiling so kindly, Bai Yifeng didn't dare to say it wasn't the case.
He said warmly: "Miss Jiang saved me from the robbers. It was a great kindness. I will definitely thank you again when I get to the south."
The smiles of others became obviously more sincere after hearing this sentence.
Isn't it just to bring one more person? As long as the money is in place, everything will be easy.
After breakfast, someone came to ask when the Jiang family left.
Seeing that the Jiang family refused to leave, they did not dare to act, for fear that they would encounter robbers again and no one would protect them.
Jiang Zhiyue couldn't stand their behavior of seeking protection.
Among the people in Jiangjia Village, not counting children and the elderly, the number of men was 60 to 70%. However, they only wanted to walk behind them to seek protection but did not know how to improve themselves.
After all, this kind of behavior of being forced to protect others is really unpleasant.
Jiang Zhiyue's face turned cold. Originally, she planned to take her family to take out the bandit's den sometime.
She then looked at the Jiangjiacun team with more than a hundred men over there. With such good manpower, wouldn't it be a pity not to use them.
Jiang Zhiyue gathered the Jiang family and talked about the situation they found out last night.
