1087 Shi Long Kingdom’s Border (2)

The crowd continued to move.

But it didn’t take long for them to be stopped by a group of bandits.

“We’re under attack!”

“Junior Sister Luo, stay inside the carriage!” Kuang Shen yelled as he instructed his men who were around to intercept the bandits. There were guards sent by the Imperial Family, but he didn’t completely trust them.

Not far from him, a young man in his early twenties also yelled, giving the order for the people around him to protect Luo Qing Wei. He used to be sickly, but after meeting Luo Qing Wei, it was as if he had seen miracle.

He was cured.

Perfectly at that.

Because of that, he vowed that he would protect Luo Qing Wei no matter what the cost would be.

As the second son of a duke in Shi Long Kingdom, he had a lot of power backing him. It would be more than enough for him to arrange for a lot of soldiers from his family members to come and protect Luo Qing Wei.

.....

“Second Young Master Lan, please stay at the back!”

Second Young Master Lan, Lan Zhi Wu, frowned but acknowledged. His martial arts were not that good, so he would rather stay at the back rather than courting death. He wanted to protect Luo Qing Wei, but wouldn’t it be a waste if he died in the process?

Everything would be for naught.

Thus, he stayed behind.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Inside the carriage, Luo Qing Wei could hear the clashing of swords outside. She was actually a bit curious because her maidservants never allowed her to see these kind of things. Not to mention, her senior brother was even stricter than them.

She preferred her tenth senior brother in terms of leniency, but her tenth senior brother left a few days after she first saw him. Traveling Doctor Liu said that he had his own path and will not stay in Shi Long Kingdom.

Luo Qing Wei was curious.

But she didn’t want to trouble others, so she stopped asking.

After that short meeting, she had to admit that she had never seen her tenth senior brother ever again. In fact, she never met with her senior brother or sisters aside from Kuang Shen and Shan Yu.

Only these two appeared from time to time.

Slash!

The battle didn’t last long.

“How are the casualties?” Kuang Shen asked.

Lan Zhi Wu glanced at Kuang Shen and then veered his eyes away. “There are only a few who are wounded. Let’s find a place to rest nearby so that you can treat them. Don’t let Doctor Luo work too hard.”

“I know.”

Kuang Shen laughed coldly and then turned around, instructing his men to clear up an area. He knew very well that Lan Zhi Wu was treating him as his rival and Kuang Shen accepted that challenge.

So what if the other party came with huge background?

He was not the type of person who would give up so easily.

As long as Luo Qing Wei didn’t personally admit that she wanted to be with Lan Zhi Wu, he hadn’t lost.

The soldiers rested.

And Kuang Shen busied himself to treat the soldiers.

Luo Qing Wei was staying near the campfire after distributing the medicines. And her caring attitude made the impression of the soldiers of her much higher. They liked her so much that it overwhelmed the young girl.

Thankfully, Lan Zhi Wu stepped in to stop them before they could make her more uncomfortable.

Swish!

Inside the forest, Nan Hua looked at the scene calmly. She had paced through here and could hear the sound of the metal clashing from a distance away. Thus, she stopped her horse and walked here silently.

She could see how much the people liked Luo Qing Wei at first glance.

It was as if she was someone who was born to be loved and that everyone would love her just after she had shown them the slightest bit of kindness. And with her already kind nature, Nan Hua knew that Luo Qing Wei was simply being genuine.

Genuinely kind and na?ve.

That was also why she could easily attract a lot of people to pay close attention to her.

From Kuang Shen, Lan Zhi Wu, there would also be the crown prince and some other passerby who would be attracted to her. Of course, aside from these three, there wouldn’t be any other notable people who would openly try to pursue her.

In this era where women’s position was low, Luo Qing Wei might as well be the very exception where the rule didn’t seem to apply.

A lot of people wanted her.

Be it because of her beauty, skill, status, personality, or whatever else.

But one person could never fulfill the wishes of so many people. A person’s time and attention was limited. There was no way that Luo Qing Wei could care for these three (supposedly four with Long Qian Xing) with all of her heart.

The one who should have won was Long Qian Xing.

Since he was already inside her heart from the very beginning.

But now that Long Qian Xing had decided to leave at the very first, the result would be vastly different.

Nan Hua had no interest in watching Luo Qing Wei took care of her suitors.

There were too many dramas.

And cliché.

She had no time to care about it either because she was actively participating in the war and would be busy soon enough. Glancing inside Luo Qing Wei’s carriage, Nan Hua knew very well that all of Luo Qing Wei’s belongings were there.

Without anyone noticing, she had crept closer.

And entered the carriage.

It was a luxurious carriage, the type that could only be used by those from Imperial Family. While Luo Qing Wei’s father was not part of the Imperial Family, her mother was the fourth princess.

This meant that she was still part of the Imperial Family.
