"Follow behind me." Han Ming Yi pulled Du Xiao Li over and said.

  Leng Yi and Leng Er guard over the two sides, so Han Ming Yi's pressure wasn't that big, but even so, there were still quite a few fish that slip through the net.

  Du Xiao Li stood behind Han Ming Yi, her heart suddenly warming. Someone like him wouldn't not know how dangerous it is to have his back exposed in front of someone else. He completely shielded herself behind his back without any misgivings, seemingly like an entirely different person from the one that had kicked her in the past.

  "Get---" Leng Er got stabbed in the right arm by an assassin, fresh blood very quickly soaked his clothes.

  Because the injury was on his right hand, Leng Er's fighting strength reduced quite a bit, and several assassins got through from his side, preparing to attack Han Ming Yi. Han Ming Yi was currently dealing with the assassin in front, and momentarily didn't sense the attack.

  "Careful." Du Xiao Li pulled Han Ming Yi backwards, avoiding the swords coming from the side.

  Seeing Du Xiao Li help Han Ming Yi dodge, those assassins turned their swords and directly stabbed towards her, forcing her to continuously move back to avoid.

  "F*ck, I'm really angry now!" Du Xiao Li was furious, squatting down to dodge the other party's sword sweeping across horizontally. Afterwards, she took a step forward, and stabbed her dagger into the other party's abdomen. When the dagger was pulled out, the intestines got pulled out along with the blood.

  "So disgusting." Du Xiao Li said in disgust, yet forgetting just who made such a disgusting mess.

  "Young master---"

  Leng Yi's voice suddenly came through, somewhat shaking. Du Xiao Li turned her head to look. Han Ming Yi was currently surrounded by two assassins, and behind him, there was someone rapidly charging towards him. Without more time to think, Du Xiao Li threw her dagger towards the assassin, stabbing it into his heart before he can reach Han Ming Yi.

  After taking care of the two in front, Han Ming Yi turned around, seeing that person on the ground, with Du Xiao's dagger stabbed in his back. He blanked.

  Did she save himself?

  "What are you blankly staring for, the enemy is coming!" Du Xiao Li roared towards Han Ming Yi.

  After getting yelled at by Du Xiao Li, Han Ming Yi finally continued fighting off the incoming assailants.

  Du Xiao Li ran over and had her own dagger pulled out, her gaze landing on the smooth pebbles on the ground.

  Right now, her body was still really small, and her martial arts was also just entry level. Killing those three all relied on pulling a fast one and catching them off guard. Fighting with these people, she simply didn't have any upper hand. However, she can try using other methods.

  She picked up two small rocks, aim at the people surrounding Han Ming Yi and swiftly shot them over. One person got hit in the right arm, and one got hit in the chest. Both their movements unknowingly slowed, and in that moment, Han Ming Yi had them killed off.

  Useful!

  Seeing this, Du Xiao Li picked up a few more rocks from the ground again, and threw them at the people attacking Leng Yi and Leng Er, all accurately hitting the target. Leng Yi and Leng Er also seized this opportunity, and had the enemies before them killed off.

  "Useless things!" The assassin in the lead cursed. Afterwards, he personally charged towards Han Ming Yi. And Du Xiao Li also got surrounded by two assassins.

  "Fifth prince, this servant will send you off to see King Enma right away!" The assassin leader came to Han Ming Yi's side, and striked his palm towards Han Ming Yi.

  After fighting for such a long time, Han Ming Yi's body was also somewhat unable to keep up. In addition to the assassin leader's martial arts being much higher than the others, in that moment when Han Ming Yi knocked down his sword, he didn't expect that he would attack with his palm. Han Ming Yi's entire body was sent flying, landing in the river behind them.

  "Young master!" Leng Yi and Leng Er wanted to go save Han Ming Yi, but were obstructed by the assassins.

  Du Xiao Li had gotten chased far away, so she didn't hear that person call Han Ming Yi fifth prince. However, she did hear Leng Yi's cries, and following which the sound of someone falling into the water.

  "Big brother Yi!" Du Xiao Li had heard Niu Jing say that Han Ming Yi had grown up in the north, and simply didn't know how to swim. Seeing him fall in the water, she panicked inside.

  At this time, a few people came from the direction of the county seat, immediately fighting with the assassin when they arrived. Du Xiao Li was the first to get saved. She came to the river shore, and upon seeing Leng Er about to jump down, immediately pulled him back, yelling: "You don't know how to swim either, going down to look for death? Wait here on the shores!"

  After she finished yelling, she had her dagger and little satchel thrown on the ground, and dived into the water.

  The people that came from the county seat were precisely Han Ming Yi's bodyguards. As soon as they arrived, they started attacking the assassin. Once Leng Yi had the ones in front of him killed off, he quickly moved to the river shore.

  He and Leng Er both don't know how to swim. After learning that Du Xiao Li had gone down, he thus anxiously waited by the river shore.

  Seeing that their reinforcements have arrived, the assassin leader said to the remaining people, "Retreat!"

  Receiving the order, the assassins flew off in all four directions.

  Leng Yi saw that they wanted to chase after them and said, "Don't bother. Is there anyone among you all that know how to swim? Those that know how to swim, go down and save young master!"

  Two people with slightly short statures jumped into the water in succession, searching for Han Ming Yi in the water.

  After Du Xiao Li had jumped in the water, she had started swimming towards the place where Han Ming Yi fell in. This river's flow wasn't rapid, so Han Ming Yi shouldn't have been washed too far away. As expected, in a place slightly downstream, she found the already fainted Han Ming Yi.

  She hurriedly swam over, wrapping both arms around his underarm, swimming upwards along with him.

  'Splash---'

  The people on the shores only heard a splashing sound, and Du Xiao Li, along with Han Ming Yi, emerged onto the water's surface.

  "Quickly have young master and the girl brought up." Leng Er said to the two in the water.

  Du Xiao Li had already consumed quite of bit of energy from dealing with the enemies earlier, in addition to her current body still being too small, by the time she dragged Han Ming Yi to the water's surface, she was already a bit dizzy. Fortunately, those two bodyguards swam over, and had her and Han Ming Yi brought to the shore.

  Du Xiao Li laid Han Ming Yi flat on the ground. At the moment, he'd already fainted, with his head leaning to the side, and his complexion deathly pale.

  "Young master!" Leng Yi knelt down on one knee, continuously calling out to Han Ming Yi.

  "Young master has fainted!" Someone said.

  "Don't you two know about water? What are you still standing around for, quickly give your young master first aid!" Du Xiao Li sat to the side, and said to those two guys just now.

  Leng Yi had one of them dragged to Han Ming Yi's side and said, "Don't worry about anything else, save young master first."

  "Yes." Obtaining Leng Yi's orders, that person pressed his hand onto Han Ming Yi's stomach, pressing down with force. Very soon, he spat out two mouthfuls of water, but was still not waking up.

  "Why is he still not waking?" Leng Er anxiously said, using his hand to slap Han Ming Yi's face. Yet, he suddenly retracted his hand and said, "Young master's not breathing!"

  Leng Yi reached his hand out to check. Discovering that Han Ming Yi really wasn't breathing, he entirely blanked.

  Du Xiao Li came to Han Ming Yi's side, and sa
w that that person's techniques were also correct. Just, because Han Ming Yi had been in the water for too long, that's why he'd temporarily stopped breathing.

  "Give him mouth-to-mouth breathing!" Du Xiao Li said to the bodyguard.

  "Mouth-to-mouth breathing?" Not only did that bodyguard not know, Leng Yi and Leng Er didn't know either.

  (T/N: Okay, so I feel I need to clarify, the word for CPR in chinese literally translates to 'artificial breathing' so it would technically sounds less weird to them.)

  "Move aside!" Right now, Du Xiao Li didn't have the time to explain to them what mouth-to-mouth breathing was, and further didn't have the time to teach them. She pulled the bodyguard to the side. Immediately after, she pried open Han Ming Yi's mouth, seeing that the dirty things in the throat have already been spat along with the water. Then, she used her hand to pinch Han Ming Yi's nose, took in a deep breath, and leaned over to give Han Ming Yi mouth-to-mouth.

  "What is she doing?" A bodyguard from behind saw Du Xiao Li's movements, and sucked in a breath.

  "Yi, she...." Someone, seeing that Leng Yi didn't interfere, shouted.

  Leng Yi waved his hand to interrupt that person's words, and everyone thus quietly watched Du Xiao Li breath air in and spit air out.

  "Ugh....." A moment later, Han Ming Yi faintly opened his eyes, seeing a pair of bright eyes, seemingly like the night stars, suddenly flashing into his heart.

  Du Xiao Li didn't think that Han Ming Yi would wake up this quickly. Her lips were still tightly pressed onto his. There was still a soft sensation on her lips. And his eyes were like the vast ocean, letting her instantly lose herself.

  Just like this, the two stared at each other, forgetting to get up.

  "He's awake, he's awake, young master has awoken." Leng Er saw Han Ming Yi open his eye and said in rejoice.

  Du Xiao Li got up from Han Ming Yi and said, "I saved you again. This time, need to increase the price."

  "Young master, how are you?" Leng Yi helped Han Ming Yi up and asked.

  "What happened just now?" Han Ming Yi asked.

  "Young master had drowned just now, and had already stopped breathing. Unexpectedly, this little miss uh did that and that, and had you brought back to life." Someone said.

  Their master has never been close with a woman. All those beauties in the capital, not one did he fancy. Yet, unexpectedly, he lost his first kiss today.

  Han Ming Yi thought of the soft sensation on his lips just now and his gaze flickered. Afterwards, he stood up and asked. "Why is there just the few of you?"

  "Replying to young master, as soon as we saw the signal bomb, we hastily rushed over. But on the way, we came across assassins blocking the path. They covered for us while we came over first." The one that gave Han Ming Yi first aid just now said.

  Just then, another group of people came from the county seat. Quite a few of them had injuries on their body. With one look, one could tell that they'd gone through an intense battle just now.

  After those people arrived, Du Xiao Li went over to the shore to collect her little satchel. Afterwards, she walked over to the river to clean off the blood on her dagger. Thinking back to that sensation of stabbing the dagger into someone's heart earlier, Du Xiao Li felt that in that moment, she seemed to have returned to her past life again.

  "Young master, Leng San, he....." The bodyguards came before Han Ming Yi and knelt down. One among them even carried on his back a heavily injured and unconscious guard. The fresh blood flowed down from his body and dripped all the way here.

  "Why is he bleeding this much!" Leng Er saw Leng San and asked.

  "In order to let them be able to leave quicker, San blocked off those people with all his might. There were too many of them, so......" The one carrying Leng San said.

  "Young master, please allow us to take Leng San to go find doctor Niu first." Leng Shi, who was kneeling to the side, said.

  The brothers with the starting character 'Leng', there were seven of them. These seven were as close as real brother. Right now, seeing Leng San on the brink of death, everyone were all very distressed.

  "Alright, you all....."

  "No matter how good your qinggong is, before even reaching grandpa Niu's place, he would have already died!" Just as Han Ming Yi nodded, Du Xiao Li came over after she'd finished washing her dagger, and said.

  "Who are you? For what reason are you saying this!" Hearing Du Xiao Li's words, the bodyguards that had rushed over just now all got angry.

  "He's already lost that much blood. Although you all bandaged his wounds for him, he still continued to bleed, meaning that he's injured an artery. Moreover, it's even a very important place. That's why it's useless to bandage." Du Xiao Li said, "Going back from here, no matter how fast you all are, you would still need approximately a cup of tea's time*. This is more than enough for him to die from excessive blood loss. Furthermore, if you're carrying him on your back, when you're flying, you'll even press on him. Even if he won't bleed to death, he'll still be tossed and turned to death."

  (*T/N: Roughly 10 minutes)

  Leng Er came to Du Xiao Li's side, putting both hands on her shoulders, and said, "Girl, save him!"

  Du Xiao Li lifted her head and looked to Leng Er, seeing the plead and sorrow in his eyes, and also a trace of fear. It was somewhat strange, but she still nodded her head and said, "Okay."

  "Thank you!" Leng Er said.

  "You all put him onto the horse carriage." Du Xiao Li said to those people.

  Leng Shi and the others stood there, not moving.

  "Have Leng San placed onto the horse carriage." Leng Yi said.

  "Yi!" Leng Shi didn't understand why Leng Yi and Leng Er wanted it like this, not going to go find Niu Jing, but instead letting them listen to this little girl's words.

  Leng Yi walked over and patted Leng Wu, saying: "Don't worry."

  Leng Wu looked to Leng Yi and stood there motionlessly. He still didn't believe the words of a little girl.

  "Do as she says." Han Ming Yi opened his mouth.

  "Young master...." Seeing that Han Ming Yi also spoke, Leng Wu could only have Leng San placed onto the carriage.

  Although calling it a carriage, right now it only had the bottom wooden plank left. Leng San laid on top. Du Xiao Li went up and untied the bandages on his leg, exposing a nasty wound.

  T/N: I think I mentioned in an earlier chapter before, but the bodyguards names are just Yi = one, Er = two, San = three, Shi = four, Wu = five, etc.

  Du Xiao Li felt around the wound and said, "He's injured the artery in the leg, that's why he's bleeding this much. Leng Er, do you have fire?"

  "There's fire here." Someone took out a fire-starter.

  "Go find some firewood." Du Xiao Li ordered.

  Han Ming Yi waved his hand, and they immediately went to go find firewood.

  "Bring some water over." Du Xiao Li continued.

  This time, without even waiting for Han Ming Yi's order, someone immediately picked up the household utensils on the ground and went over to the river to draw water.

  Du Xiao Li had the water placed to one side. Using her left hand, she pressed on a place above the wound, and the continuous bleeding slowed down.

  Thereafter, she let Han Ming Yi tear his own inner clothes, used her right hand to wet the cloth strip in the water and had the bloodstains near the wound wiped clean. Then, she let Leng Er take out her silver needles, pulled one out and held it over the fire. Afterwards, in the place where she was just pressing, she slowly inserted the needle. Next, she inserted a few more needles into his leg and body.

  Du Xiao Li inserted very slowly, but as her silver needles went in one by one, Leng San's expression no longer looked that painful, and his wounds also no longer bled.

  "The bleeding stopped." A bodyguard said in surprise.

  Du Xiao
Li waited a while, then had the silver needles pulled out one by one. She wiped the sweat off her forehead and said, "Done. Now let some people lift the wood plank back, remember to be steady. Afterwards, just let grandpa Niu treat him, and he'll be good."

  "Go then." Han Ming Yi said.

  Leng Shi, Leng Wu, Leng Liu, and Leng Qi immediately went forward, each person lifting a corner, and simultaneously flew off.

  Du Xiao Li had the silver needles wiped clean one by one and carefully put them back in their case, then placing it back into her bag. Afterwards, she went to the riverside to wash her hands.

  "Girl, thank you." Leng Er came to Du Xiao Li's side and said.

  "Your thanks, I've accepted. However, if you can let them not have today's matter leaked out, then that would be even better." Du Xiao Li said.

  "I understand." Leng Er replied.

  "Then let's go back." Du Xiao Li got up and said.

  Han Ming Yi left a few uninjured people behind to clean up the corpses here. Afterwards, he lead the others back to Du Village.

  Niu Jing was currently at home fiddling with the medical ingredients, when he suddenly saw four people land in his courtyard, and quickly rushed out to look.

  "Doctor Niu, quickly save Leng San." Leng Shi spotted Niu Jing and urgently cried out.

  "What happened?" Niu Jing asked. Then, seeing Leng San on the wooden plank, he said, "Quickly carry him inside!"

  The four had Leng San lifted into the house. Leng Shi then had him carried onto the bed, after which, he withdrew to one side, letting Niu Jing examine him.

  Niu Jing checked his pulse, then looked at the wound on his thigh, and said, "His injury is very serious, to have been able to hold on until now is not easy. However, he clearly injured an important area, but why isn't the wound bleeding?"

  "Before coming back, there was a little girl that had used needles on him." Leng Shi said.

  "Oh? Is it Li girl?" Niu Jing said, "Then there's nothing strange. I'll go prescribe a medicine, and then check again after he drinks it."

  Niu Jing left the room to get the medicine, and not long after, Han Ming Yi and the others returned. Seeing quite a few injured, even Leng Er had gotten injured, Niu Jing quickly went to bandage their wounds for them.
