<h4>Chapter 991: Seriously Weren’t Picky</h4>
Xuan Hongyu put on the cloak. His body was fully wrapped up and his face was covered by the ck veil attached to the cloak’s hood.
“Where are we going?” Xuan Hongyu nced at Ning Shu through the veil.
“This subordinate had been nning to go to a town near Master’s fiefdom, but now that something like this has happened, this subordinate ns to take Master to search for a cure,” replied Ning Shu earnestly.
Xuan Hongyu fell silent. The ck veil covered his face, so his expression couldn’t be made out.
Xuan Miexiao who had been inside the carriage woke up, so Ning Shu carried him out of the carriage and fed him some food. Xuan Hongyu sat down at the other side of the fire in order to get a bit further away from Ning Shu and Xuan Miexiao.
“Master, it’s fine. In a bit, this subordinate will rub some mugwort leaf juice on the child’s skin so that it won’t be as easy for him to get infected,” said Ning Shu.
Xuan Hongyu just nodded.
“There’s no need to go look for a doctor. Let’s return to the capital,” said Xuan Hongyu.
Ning Shu: Pff...
This person was seriously...
“Why? Master, if you return like this, you’d only end up aughing stock. Right now what you need to do is cure the sy- pei! The leprosy. Master, you’ll definitely be able to make aeback.” There was no way Ning Shu would let Xuan Hongyu go back.
Xuan Hongyu didn’t speak, so Ning Shu just took it as agreement.
She rubbed mugwort leaf juice on Xuan Miexiao, then said to Xuan Hongyu who was standing to the side like a pir, “Master, let’s go.”
Xuan Hongyu didn’t enter the carriage and just sat down next to Ning Shu, so Xuan Miexiao was the only one inside the carriage.
It was clear that Xuan Hongyu was afraid of approaching Xuan Miexiao. He was worried about spreading this disease to the child.
Ning Shu swung the whip and drove the horse forward. She nced at Xuan Hongyu out of the corner of her eye, but the ck veil was covering his face so she couldn’t see his expression.
She had the feeling that under the veil was an all-hope-was-lost expression. She really wanted to see it.
“Master...”
“Be quiet.” Xuan Hongyu didn’t want to talk.
Ning Shu curled her lips in distant.
She drove the horse forward at a steady pace, so after a night, they were already quite far away from the capital.
As Ning Shu continued driving the carriage, she lifted the curtain to check on the kid. Due to the swaying of the carriage, Xuan Miexiao had fallen asleep again.
Swish!
A sharp wooden stick suddenly flew towards one of the wheels of the carriage. Ning Shu pulled on the reins, then swung her whip, catching the wooden stick and flinging it aside.
“Hand over all your valuables!” Several people had appeared by the road. They were all holding swords and looked violent.
They had encountered bandits.
“Oh, and there’s even a female. She’s a bit ugly, but at least it’s a woman.” A bandit nced at Ning Shu, then looked towards Xuan Hongyu who was covered from head to toe. He said towards his leader, “Boss, that person’spletely wrapped up, so it’s either a beauty or an ugly hag.”
“Capture them.” The bandit peeked at Xuan Hongyu with lust in his eyes. “Let this daddy have a taste first.”
Xuan Hongyu had a naturally lofty aura. Evenpletely wrapped up, he still gave people the feeling that he couldn’t be casually offended.
Ning Shu: ...
The hell? They thought Xuan Hongyu was a woman? Could a woman possibly have such arge frame? Or was it that they seriously weren’t picky?
The dangerous atmosphere outside caused Xuan Miexiao to be uneasy. He started wailing and crying.
“There’s even a kid.” The bandit leader licked his lips. The sight was quite terrifying.
Before Ning Shu could even make a move though, Xuan Hongyu had reached out to take the horse whip from Ning Shu. He got off the carriage, walked to the bandit leader, then started rapidly swinging the whip at the bandit leader’s head.
