“Wahhh! Help!”
The woman’s voice came from afar. She first spoke in Tartan and then in Mandarin. Ji Shuisheng was afraid of being discovered and did not want to meddle in other people’s business as he continued to walk forward.
“Save me, hey, save me.”
Five wild wolves surrounded a beautiful woman in a red cloak. She stood in the middle of the wolf pack and trembled. When she saw Ji Shuisheng, she anxiously shouted for help. She held a machete and carried a bow and arrow on her shoulder.
Hearing her shout, the wolves bared their teeth and approached her. The woman was so frightened that she raised her machete and turned around. She shouted at the wild wolf,
“Get lost, get lost; I order you to get lost.”
However, the wolf pack wanted to end the battle quickly. They arched their backs and stared at the woman with green eyes, ready to attack at any time.
Ji Shuisheng took a few steps forward, but in the end, he still turned back to save the woman. He could not bear to watch a pack of wolves eat a weak woman.
He hesitated momentarily, but the alpha wolf jumped and pounced on the woman. With her eyes closed, the woman screamed and waved the scimitar in her hand. The other wolves found an opportunity to attack her, and the woman was about to die.
Ji Shuisheng locked his bow and shot an arrow. He then used the ultimate skill of shooting two arrows simultaneously. One arrow was shot at the head wolf, and the other was shot at the gray wolf attacking the woman from behind.
“Roar
The alpha wolf and the gray wolf uttered a long cry when the arrow shot them, and they fell heavily to the ground. When the other three wolves saw that Ji Shuisheng had shot the alpha wolf, they abandoned the woman and pounced on Ji Shuisheng to avenge the alpha wolf.
Ji Shuisheng’s expression did not change. His left knee moved forward, and his right leg kicked backward to open the stance steadily. He pulled out two arrows and shot at the two wolves running at the front.
The bamboo arrow pierced through the heads of two wolves with the sound of the wind, killing them with one arrow. The remaining wolf turned around and ran away in fear when it saw how powerful Ji Shuisheng was.
The woman attacked by the wolf pack regained her spirit, pulled out an arrow from her quiver, and shot it at the wolf.
Her archery posture was courageous. The wind blew the white fox fur around the collar of her cloak. Her beautiful facial features shone with a youthful l.u.s.ter under the sun, and her amber eyes were exceptionally bright.
She was tall and voluptuous. She was a woman as beautiful as a rose, and her personality was as pa.s.sionate as her clothes.
Seeing that she was no longer in danger, Ji Shuisheng decided not to bother about her. He thought that he could not go to Tartan anymore since his ident.i.ty had been exposed. He decided to return to Mo City first. Perhaps Su Qing had already returned to Mo City?
“Benefactor, don’t leave.”
The woman saw that Ji Shuisheng was about to run and caught up to him. Her black hair fluttered in the wind, and the white fox fur at the collar of her red cloak made her face look even more tender and beautiful. Her amber eyes were filled with anxiety.
“…” Ji Shuisheng ignored her and continued to walk with a dark face. He was about to cross the bridge.
“Hey, you saved me. I want to repay you.”
Ye Lui Saiya was very anxious. She stomped her foot with her sheepskin boots. The sound was crisp and pleasant like the wind blew a silver bell.
“No need.”
Ji Shuisheng wanted to get on the bridge without looking back, but he stopped when he heard the woman’s following words.
“I am the princess of Tartan. We Tartans must repay your kindness. Follow me back to the palace, and I will ask my mother to reward you heavily.”
The princess of Tartan was an ident.i.ty that could be used well.
Ji Shuisheng turned around and looked at the woman with a deep gaze. He did not say anything, but a bold thought circled in his mind.
This was the best opportunity to get close to the royal family of Tartan. They could only understand why the Tartan soldiers attacked Mo City by getting close to them.
Seeing Ji Shuisheng stop in his tracks, Saiya smiled at him. When she smiled, she revealed a mouthful of white teeth. Her eyes were bright like fire, and her entire person was as beautiful as a blooming flower. She asked Ji Shuisheng cheerfully,
“Benefactor, what is your name?”
“Ji Shuisheng.”
Ji Shuisheng reported his name. This name was widespread, and he was not afraid of being known by others. He believed that even Tartan had not heard of it.
“Ji Shuisheng? Were you born in the water?”
Saiya looked at Ji Shuisheng curiously. The Han names she knew were all very pleasant to hear and usually had a meaning behind them. That was why she guessed that Ji Shuisheng was born in the water.
“…”Ji Shuisheng.
He was quite able to connect the dots. However, his G.o.dfather had given him this name because they had escaped by water. That was why his G.o.dfather had given him the name Shui Sheng.
“If you return me to the palace, I will reward you with a hundred taels of gold and ten sheepskins.”
Seeing that Ji Shuisheng was silent, Saiya became even more curious about him. What if they ran into a pack of wolves returning after losing the horse? She needed someone to escort her back, so she offered a high price.
“I’m afraid you guys will kill me.”
Ji Shuisheng replied calmly, wanting to test if this princess knew that their soldiers had attacked Mo City.
“Don’t be afraid. I’ll protect you.”
Saiya patted her chest and said to Ji Shuisheng in an imposing manner.
There were many princes in the Tartan Kingdom, but she was the only princess. She had always been pampered since she was young. Because it did not involve the fight for the throne, and she was loved by her father and mother, her royal brothers were very accommodating to her, raising her to be arrogant and unruly in the Tartan Kingdom.
“Alright, then I’ll send you back.”
Ji Shuisheng received her promise and agreed to send her back to Tacheng. Saiya was very happy. She looked at Ji Shuisheng with a smile like a flower, thinking that the men from the Central Plains were so handsome.
Su Qing did not want to look at an ugly face every day. Ji Shuisheng did not become a rough man after taking the disguise pill. Instead, he looked like a man with a well-defined face, a pair of tiger eyes under his thick eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and thin lips. Coupled with his domineering temperament, he was still handsome.
Saiya was known as the most beautiful woman in Tartan. The leaders of her subordinate tribes and the princes of other small countries all admired her beauty and went to Tartan to propose marriage.
They smelled of mutton, had dark red faces, and full beards. But Saiya didn’t like any of them, especially those tribal leaders. They were insulting.
Saiya had been to the Great Xia Kingdom a few times and found that the men of the Great Xia Kingdom were very refreshing. They did not have any smell of mutton and spoke in a refined manner. She felt that they were better than the men of Tartan.
However, she felt they were too weak and wondered if their thin bodies could protect their women.
Saiya was moved when she saw Ji Shuisheng today. He looked exactly like the Prince Consort she had imagined. He was not a weak young master but a hero with strong martial arts.
The most crucial thing in Tartan was archery. Saiya especially admired Ji Shuisheng’s archery skills. They would choose Zhe Bie every year, and those good at archery could partic.i.p.ate in the Zhe Bie a.s.sembly.
However, even the best archer in Tartan, Zhe Bie, could not guarantee that both arrows would hit the target. Therefore, Ji Shuisheng’s archery skills were higher than Tartan’s Zhe Bie.
All girls liked heroes, especially those who had saved them.
Saiya harbored her thoughts and first tricked Ji Shuisheng back to Tartan..
