Rumor Has It That I’m Pregnant with His Highness’ Child - Chapter 200
200 Mountain Bandits
Shen Xu was so agitated that he could not control his voice. His shout immediately attracted the attention of the people around him.
Before Yu Niaoniao could do anything, the Eagle Guards were already unhappy. They glared at Shen Xu angrily.
Lo Pingsha rode close and spoke in a low voice.
“Prince, please be more respectful to our Princess. Don’t think that we won’t dare to do anything to you just because you’re the Prince. If you dare to bully the Princess, the Justice Department will definitely not let you off.”
!!
These words were echoed by the rest of the Eagle Guards.
“Lord Lo is right! Don’t bully our County Princess!”
Shen Xu was even angrier. He was clearly the one being bullied!
Faced with Lo Pingsha’s threat, Shen Xu was a little afraid. However, if he compromised in front of so many people, wouldn’t he be embarrassed?
He gritted his teeth and shouted.
“Who do you think you are? What right do you have to speak to me like this? Not to mention that I didn’t bully her, even if I did, what can you do?!”
A voice spoke behind him.
“Who did you bully?”
The voice was recognizable, deep and harsh, like a knife blade scraping across an eardrum.
Shen Xu immediately felt his scalp tingle. He turned stiffly and saw Duke Lang on horseback.
Xiao Juan rode his horse closer to Yu Niaoniao and asked in a low voice.
“Were you bullied?”
Yu Niaoniao shook her head. “No.”
Xiao Juan was relieved. “That’s good.”
While they were talking, Shen Xu rode away.
Shen Xu returned to his carriage. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He had clearly been played by Yu Niaoniao, but the others were still speaking up for her.
Those guys did not take him seriously at all! Shen Xu clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
“Just you wait! When I find an opportunity, I’ll definitely teach Duke Lang and the Princess a lesson!”
Three days later, the convoy left the official road and entered the mountains.
The mountain road was uneven and the carriage was jolting.
Yu Niaoniao simply gave up on taking the carriage and chose to ride a donkey the entire day.
Gray might be small, but it was especially strong. He insisted on walking at the front of the group. Those who didn’t know better would think it was the leader of the group.
Yu Niaoniao held a cucumber in her hand. She ate half of it and gave the other half to Gray.
Gray was happily chewing a cucumber when its ears flicked. He stopped and raised his head, letting out a high cry.
Then, the entire team stopped.
Xiao Juan sensed movement in front and sent an Eagle Guard with good movement techniques to check the situation.
The Eagle Guard returned quickly.
“Your Highness, there’s a group of bandits robbing in front. They’ve blocked the mountain path. I’m afraid we won’t be able to pass through for a while.”
Since that was the case, Xiao Juan did not hesitate and gave the order.
“Little Lo, stay behind to protect Niaoniao and Prince Ming. I’ll bring our men to eliminate the bandits.”
Lo Pingsha replied, “Yes, sir!”
Yu Niaoniao reminded him, “Be careful and protect yourself.”
Xiao Juan nodded. “Yes, I’ll be back soon.”
He flicked the reins and urged the dark cloud forward. The other Eagle Guards followed.
Yu Niaoniao watched them disappear around the bend in the mountain path.
At this moment, Prince Min and his father could not sit still anymore. They got out of the car one after another.
Prince Min frowned and said, “Why are there bandits in this place? Is it a trap?”
Shen Xu pursed his lips and said sarcastically.
“Duke Lang is so powerful. Even a trap definitely won’t stump him.”
Prince Min glared at him. “Shut up!”
Although he did not like Duke Lang, he did not want anything to happen to him. After all, this place was very remote. If the mountain bandits became ferocious, they would definitely not be able to escape.
Shen Xu rolled his eyes and saw that the Eagle Guards were not around. There was only a maidservant and Lo Pingsha beside Yu Niaoniao.
This was a good opportunity. He had to teach Yu Niaoniao a lesson.
He wanted this woman to understand that he, the heir, was not someone to be trifled with!
Shen Xu walked towards Yu Niaoniao. However, he had only walked halfway when he saw Yu Niaoniao take out a bow and arrow from her side pocket.
Although she felt that a mere group of bandits would definitely not be a problem for Duke Lang, she still had to be ready to fight.
Yu Niaoniao nocked an arrow and drew her bow. She turned left and right, wanting to adjust her aim.
When the arrow swept past Shen Xu, he was so frightened that his face turned pale. Then, he scrambled back to the car.
Seeing this, Yu Niaoniao was confused.
She lowered her bow and asked, puzzled.
“What’s wrong with the prince? Why does he look strange?”
Lo Pingsha saw Shen Xu’s actions just now and could naturally guess what he was thinking. He cursed in his heart, but his expression remained indifferent.
“He probably ate something bad and was in a hurry to settle it.”
Yu Niaoniao understood. “I see.”
The sound of hooves came from ahead. Yu Niaoniao immediately turned her head to look ahead and saw Meng Xizhou riding over.
When he was in front of her, Yu Niaoniao asked impatiently.
“How is the Duke?”
Meng Xizhou quickly said, “Princess, don’t worry. We’ve already wiped out all the bandits. None of us died.”
Yu Niaoniao felt relieved. That was good.
Meng Xizhou continued, “His Highness saved a family. Someone was injured and needs treatment.”
He looked at Lo Pingsha. In their team, only Lo Pingsha knew medicine.
Yu Niaoniao put away her bow. “Then let’s go over quickly.”
They walked along the mountain path and soon saw Duke Lang and the Eagle Guards.
On the ground beside them were the corpses of more than ten bandits.
In order to avoid blocking the mountain path, the Eagle Guards picked up the corpses and threw them into the forest.
On the edge of the mountain road was an overturned carriage.
Sitting on the ground beside the carriage was a family of three. It looked like a middle-aged couple with a daughter.
They were the ones who had been robbed by the bandits.
Fortunately, the Eagle Guards appeared in time and killed the bandits. Otherwise, they would have been captured by the bandits.
The middle-aged man’s shoulder was injured and was in extreme pain. His wife and daughter were crying with anxiety.
Lo Pingsha walked over and examined the middle-aged man’s wound.
The wound was deep and there was a lot of blood. Fortunately, no bones were broken.
Lo Pingsha took out the medicine he carried and bandaged the middle-aged man’s wound.
The bleeding was quickly stopped.
Lo Pingsha stood up. “Rest well for the next period of time. Don’t let your wounds get wet. Don’t move your arms until they’re healed. Take this bottle of medicine and change the dressing twice every morning and night.”
He threw the pill bottle at the middle-aged man.
Without waiting for the other party to express his gratitude, he turned around and left.
He did not even look at him the entire time. His cold appearance was a stark contrast to his slightly childish baby face.
