Chapter 85: Chapter 81: Well, Well, Start Fighting!

The kidnapper behind Shen Jingxian, number nine, couldn’t hold it any longer when he heard this. He rushed forward and pushed aside the big brother he had just been so respectful to, with a look of grief and indignation, “A friend’s wife cannot be bullied! Big Brother, I really misjudged you!”

The big kidnapper also looked sorrowful, “Old Nine, you’ve been obedient since you were a child, and now you’re fighting with Big Brother over a woman!!”

The words were so sincere that if Shen Jingxian were not the person involved, her tonsils would want to pop out and offer some simple inflammation.

“Big Brother! I’ve been devoted to you for so many years! Now I only hope Big Brother can fulfill us!!”

“If Big Brother fulfills you, who will fulfill me!”

The two expressed their feelings to each other a few more times, realizing that the soft approach didn’t work, so they decided to solve the problem in a more manly way.

“Draw your sword!”

“Exactly my intention!”

The two of them started fighting with loud clangs, immediately attracting others.

The carriage had stopped at some point, and those at the front hearing the commotion went to check at the back, only then did Shen Jingxian realize that there was more than one kidnapper.

She roughly counted about more than 10 people.

“Big Brother, Old Nine, what are you doing?!”

“Old Three, step aside, this is a battle between men, we are fighting for the woman we love!”

The kidnapper called Old Three was about to say something when he saw Old Five beside him also drawing his sword.

“Old Five, what are you doing?”

Old Five looked at the fighting Big Brother and Old Nine and said indifferently, “Joining the men’s battle.”

The three of them exchanged glances, seeing something in each other’s eyes, not saying more, turning the two-man fight into a three-man battle.

Later the number gradually increased, turning into four, five, six… ten!!

Song Yan woke up when everyone was in a melee. She tried to move her body but found herself tied up. Just as she was about to struggle, someone was approaching her with heavy footsteps, but with a light physique, likely a woman without martial arts training.

“Your Highness?”

With the sack still on Song Yan’s head, she couldn’t see anything, so she tentatively spoke.

“Mm, don’t be afraid.”

The gentle reassurance made Song Yan’s heart quiver. How long had it been since anyone said those words to her?

She sensed the princess coming closer, something on Song Yan’s head was removed, but before she could open her eyes, they were covered again by a warm palm.

She could distinctly smell the milky scent emanating from the princess, the same sweet milk the princess had just fussed about drinking.

“You can’t open your eyes right away, it’ll be uncomfortable, take your time.”

Song Yan blinked; the princess’s hand was small, just able to cover her eyes. Even now, when she opened them, she could see the red tint of the light filtering through her fingers.

Pretty.

“Sister Song Yan, I’m going to let go now.”

Song Yan made a sound of acknowledgment, blinking again.

Before releasing her hand, Shen Jingxian felt a tickle in her palm.

Then Shen Jingxian brought over tools to free Song Yan’s hands and legs from their restraints.

Shen Jingxian didn’t explain the situation to Song Yan; she just wanted to run while ’that person’ was still unresponsive.

Looking at the ongoing situation, still heated, Shen Jingxian quietly said to Song Yan, “Let’s get going.”

Song Yan nodded, about to get up, but her face changed color.

Shen Jingxian noticed Song Yan hadn’t followed and went back, “What’s the matter?”

Song Yan’s face wasn’t looking good, but she tried her best to stay calm, saying, “My leg is broken.”

Broken?

Looking down, Shen Jingxian saw Song Yan’s leg twisted at an odd angle.

What to do?

If Song Yan’s leg was broken, they couldn’t escape.

Wait, couldn’t Song Yan practice medicine?

Shen Jingxian suddenly recalled that in the original text, Song Yan couldn’t fight but had an excellent hand at poison and was very skilled in medicine. Now…Song Yan can fight?

Did she change Song Yan’s choice?

Shen Jingxian stifled her thoughts, testing Song Yan, “Sister Song Yan, what do you feel about your leg right now?”

“It probably broke not long ago, I still have sensation.”

The most ordinary feeling they spoke of.

“Do you have a way? What should I do to help you now?”

If Song Yan had studied medicine, she should tell her emergency methods now so she could hold on until their rescuers arrived.

But Song Yan shook her head, “I’ve studied human meridians and bones, but I only know basic realignment, and I’m afraid my leg bones are shattered now. Recklessly realigning them would only make things worse.”

In her heart, Shen Jingxian felt some unease, wondering why she felt that Song Yan experienced this because of her.

Song Yan didn’t see Shen Jingxian’s thought process and sighed, “Your Highness, you should go, don’t mind me.”

Shen Jingxian looked at Song Yan and said word by word, “What will you do if I leave and don’t come back?”

Song Yan looked back at Shen Jingxian, her eyes no longer showing the disgust and indifference as at first sight, but warmth instead.

“If Your Highness doesn’t come back, then it’s fate for Song Yan.”

Shen Jingxian thought that since she woke up, many things really had changed.

Not only had Wen Ranchen changed, but now Song Yan had too.

Shen Jingxian had a vague feeling that Song Yan’s broken leg might be due to her not following the original plot to study medicine but instead martial arts.

And the broken leg might very well be the plot’s way to correct Song Yan.

With a broken leg, unable to practice martial arts, she would naturally turn to medicine.

If that was the case, she was even less likely to leave Song Yan alone.

Shen Jingxian didn’t leave, instead smiling softly at Song Yan, “Don’t worry, your leg will be fine.”

Under Song Yan’s curious gaze, Shen Jingxian addressed the still fighting kidnappers, “When do you think fighting like this will give results? I have a suggestion for you, would you like to hear it?”

These people started fighting because of Shen Jingxian, and now hearing their beloved speak, they put down their swords and timidly gathered around Shen Jingxian, “Dear… What suggestion, have you finally decided to come back to my hometown with me?”

“Back to the hometown of your mom selling twists, she’s my woman!”

“Zhang Lao Er! You have some nerve, considering what a pig you are, and daring to covet my woman?!”

“To hell with you, Wang Lao Ba, I’m the only handsome man worthy of her!!!”

“My wife!”

“My beloved!”

“My dame!”

“My lady!”

…

Seeing that another argument was brewing, Shen Jingxian immediately stopped them, “Stop!”

Though her voice wasn’t loud, all the quarreling men looked over, though a friendlier look would have been nice.

“I don’t like coarse men who only know how to wield swords; I like smart ones. Now, my close friend’s leg is injured; whoever finds the doctor who can heal her first, I’ll choose.”
