Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 96

Chapter 096 The Three Strong Men of the Broken Temple
Bai Junzhuo originally thought that Yin Xun was just joking. After all, there were many places that weren’t properly packed, but he didn’t expect that he would really leave as soon as he said so, forcing her to ride away with him.

Shortly after leaving the city, layers of black clouds gathered on the horizon, and thunder exploded, causing a torrential rain to fill the sky.

Bai Jun wiped the rain off his face and complained angrily, “It’s all your fault. If you’re in such a hurry to leave, you should at least bring an umbrella with you. What should we do now?”

Yin Xun did not answer her. He raised his eyes and looked ahead. There was an abandoned thatched cottage not far from him. He walked straight towards that cottage, and Bai Junzhuo immediately followed.

When they pushed open the door and entered, the two of them were drenched. Yin Xun sized up the room and turned to Bai Junzhuo. “Let’s wait here until the rain stops.”

As Bai Junzhuo wiped the water off his hair, he muttered, “I really don’t know why you’re in such a hurry. The journey from Luoyang to Nanyang City is at least five to six days. It’s quite a short time. After careful consideration, there must be a lot of places to prepare.”

“So much nonsense.”

“How much nonsense do I have? You’ve done something wrong, aren’t you going to let people talk about it?”

Yin Xun glanced at her indifferently, “Remember that I am your master. If I have any decision, you can do it. Don’t resist or question it.”

Bai Junzhuo rolled his eyes and said, “You are the evil Huang Shiren. You know how to exploit and oppress me. It’s simply unreasonable!”

Yin Xun didn’t understand her words, so he simply didn’t listen. He stood at the door and looked outside. He muttered, “After all, it’s early autumn. The rain won’t stop for a while, and it’s getting dark. Why don’t we start tomorrow?”

What? Do you really want to spend the night alone?

Bai Junzhuo remembered many scenes from ancient costume dramas, and his face immediately turned red to the root of his neck.

Yin Xun turned his head and asked her, “Do you have a torch?”

Bai Junzhuo shook his head, “They say you left too quickly. I’m not prepared for anything.”

Yin Xun suddenly laughed and said, “I brought it.”

Bai Junzhuo was very surprised. He didn’t expect this person to be quite reliable. Then, he said softly, “There are some pieces of wood over here. Hurry up and start a fire. Let’s roast our clothes clean.”

Yin Xun took out a torch from his bosom and spread out his hands, “It can’t be lit. It’s wet from the rain.”

Bai Junzhuo “…”

Sure enough, she shouldn’t have any hope for him!

Just as she was about to continue complaining, she heard footsteps coming from the door. The duo turned around and saw that there were three sturdy men. They were all over forty years old with pheasants and rabbits in their hands.

There was a small hill nearby, and these three people were probably hunters on the hill.

The three of them only looked at Bai Junzhuo and Yin Xun for a moment, then walked to the side, picked up the flint on the ground and lit a fire. The three of them sat down around the fire, then began to skin the prey and roast it on the fire.

The three of them should also be spending the night in this thatched cottage, wouldn’t that ruin their night of loneliness? It’s so strange, why do you feel so disappointed in your heart …

Bai Junzhuo glanced at Yin Xun and whispered, “I can start a fire with any stone!”

Yin Xun also whispered, “What’s the use of saying this now? Go and borrow a light from them.”

“I shouldn’t have brought you out alone. Your ability to survive in the wild is simply zero.” Bai Junzhuo said, hesitating whether to go over. After a while, the fragrant smell of roast meat came from over there. Bai Junzhuo swallowed his saliva and walked over to the three men. He said to them, “Brothers, we are passing by here to hide from the rain.”

The three of them turned to look at Bai Junzhuo and looked at Yin Xun behind her. Seeing that the two of them had extraordinary bearing, they immediately replied, “Young lady, you’re too polite. This room was originally meant for passers-by to rest in.”

Another person took his words and said, “I can see that both of you are soaked. Why don’t we come over and roast the fire together?”

This was what Bai Junzhuo was waiting for. He immediately walked over excitedly. Yin Xun grabbed her and the two of them were almost close to each other. Bai Junzhuo glared at him and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, “What exactly are you trying to do?”

“Protect you.” Yin Xun replied in a low voice. It was raining heavily outside, and the hunter did not hear what they were saying. He walked with her to the hunter and sat down.

The three hunters glanced at each other, exchanged glances, and then politely said to the two of them, “Are you hungry? Do you want to eat together?”

Bai Junzhuo took the rabbit leg from the hunter and said with a smile, “Thank you, big brother!”

Yin Xun frowned and looked at her. You dare to eat something from a stranger?

Bai Junzhuo lowered his head and sniffed at the rabbit leg. He smiled at Yin Xun and said, “Don’t worry, it’s not poisonous.”

As the two of them exchanged glances, someone handed a pheasant leg to Yin Xun. “This young master must be hungry too. You’re welcome to eat. Everyone is outside, so it’s only right to take care of each other.”

Yin Xun hesitated for a moment. He took the drumstick and smiled faintly. He took out a silver note and handed it to him, “We can’t eat your food for free. Take this money.”

The man was stunned, and then he hurriedly waved his hand, “Even if we buy all the prey in our hands, we still can’t find it.”

“There’s no need to look.” Yin Xun stuffed the silver note into that person’s hand.

Bai Junzhuo looked at him while biting the rabbit meat.

Seeing that Yin Xun was like this, the hunter no longer refused. He took the silver note and turned the pheasant on the shelf over. “Are the two of you from Luoyang City?” He asked casually.

Bai Junzhuo nodded. Just as he was about to speak, Yin Xun said, “No.”

The hunter carefully listened to Yin Xun’s accent and said, “Young Master is from the north, right?”

“Yes.” Yin Xun nodded.

“Where are you two going?” Another hunter asked with a smile.

“Go to Nanyang City.” Bai Junzhuo believed that these people weren’t bad people, so he answered them honestly and asked, “We went out in a hurry this time. We didn’t bring anything. I wonder if the three big brothers could sell us a few more wild rabbits.”

“Of course. Young Master just gave me too much money.” The hunter answered her straightforwardly.

“Thank you everyone!” Bai Junzhuo thanked him happily.

“From the girl’s accent, it sounds like a native of Luoyang. Aren’t you from the same place as Young Master?” One of the hunters asked curiously.

Just as Bai Junzhuo was about to reply, Yin Xun said coldly, “Everyone seems to have asked a little too much.”

The hunter who asked hurriedly apologized, “Sorry, I was just casually asking.”

The other two hunters exchanged a strange look. Bai Junzhuo did not see it, but it fell into Yin Xun’s eyes.

These three people definitely had ghosts!

The atmosphere immediately became somewhat awkward. The few of them silently ate something. Another hunter said, “Since the girl is from Luoyang City, do you know that many major events have happened in Luoyang City these past two days?”

Bai Junzhuo had been guarding Madam Zou’s side for the past two days. Before leaving the Bai Manor, he shook his head and said, “I don’t know, what happened?”

“I heard that there were monsters in Luoyang some time ago. Many rich families’ children had strange diseases. Lord Cha of the prefecture put all those who had strange diseases in prison,” said the hunter. “But yesterday, I released them all. I heard that they have recovered from their illnesses.”

What? Cha Jinzhi released all the detoxified youths? How could that group of people get rid of the drug so quickly? What the hell was he doing? Why didn’t he tell her?

“Also, have you heard of Miracle Doctor Bai being killed a few months ago?” Another hunter asked.

Bai Junzhuo hesitated for a moment before nodding, “I’ve heard of it.”

‘”Of course I have. Miraculous Doctor Bai is a world famous Miraculous Doctor. I heard that when he died, the Bai Clan was on the verge of collapse. Miraculous Doctor Bai’s inconspicuous little daughter suddenly walked out of her boudoir and saved the Bai Clan. But ah, since then, the Bai Clan has been devilishly killed one after another. Isn’t that right, Second Master of the Bai Clan is also dead?”

“How did you know that the Second Master of the Bai Clan was dead?” Bai Junzhuo immediately asked. If Cha Jinzhi hadn’t found out who killed Duke Bai, he wouldn’t have made Bai Gongyuan’s death known throughout the world. What the hell was he doing?

“The whole city knows,” replied the hunter. “I went up to the city to sell things today and saw the notice posted. It said that the Second Master of the Bai Clan killed Miracle Doctor Bai and committed suicide in prison.”

“What?” Bai Junzhuo asked in surprise, “The reason why the Second Master of the Bai Clan died was because he killed Miracle Doctor Bai and committed suicide, not because of Han Shisan?”

The three hunters looked at each other and asked, “What is Cold Food Powder?”

It seemed that Cha Jinzhi had deliberately concealed the matter of Han Shi San. Bai Junzhuo could understand why he didn’t tell the people the purpose of Han Shi San, but she didn’t understand why he wanted Bai Gongyuan to bear the blame for killing Bai Gonglu. The murderer was clearly not him!

Yin Xun lowered his head to look at Bai Junzhuo and patted her on the back as if he was comforting her.

When the three hunters saw that Yin Xun’s gaze was on Bai Junzhuo, they exchanged glances. They suddenly pulled out three small crossbows from beneath them and stabbed at Yin Xun.

Almost at the same time, Yin Xun could already feel a killing intent. He subconsciously moved aside, and the arrow behind him flew towards Bai Junzhuo’s face. Without further thought, he raised his hand to block in front of Bai Junzhuo, and the short arrow pierced straight into his palm.

“You” Bai Junzhuo exclaimed.

Yin Xun used his uninjured hand to burn Bai Jun behind him. He raised his foot and kicked over the firewood. The broken wood flew towards the three burly men. Its strength was no less than an arrow, and it flew straight towards the important acupoints. Immediately, it knocked the three burly men to the ground.

“You’re injured” Bai Junzhuo looked worriedly at his palm.

Yin Xun frowned slightly and pulled out the short arrow. Blood immediately gushed out. Bai Junzhuo immediately pulled out the hemostatic powder from the small bag and took out a gauze to skillfully bandage his wound.

As soon as they were wrapped up, Yin Xun looked coldly at the three men, his face covered with killing intent. “It’s best to tell them honestly, who sent you to kill me?”

The three of them didn’t say anything. They looked at Bai Junzhuo behind Yin Xun and even winked at her.

Bai Junzhuo was puzzled. What did these people want to imply to her?

Yin Xun also noticed the expressions in the three people’s eyes and felt very strange in his heart. He said coldly, “It’s best to answer me quickly. I’m not a very patient person.”

The three of them were unable to move and all looked at Bai Junzhuo.
