Chapter 991: Why Are You Willing to Help Us?
y.“I have joined the army and once promised General Gu that I would help him guard the border.”"War on the frontier is about to break out, it's going to be very dangerous here. Since you can see that...Fang Jinshu's guess was right; these people were prepared for this. There were also their men on the second floor, and the path was blocked off, with Jiang Ye's men in front and back.
Three people could only huddle in place. Fang Jinshu stood outside at all times, and as soon as anyone reckless enough attacked their side, she would quietly settle them with silver needles.
Thus, they gradually felt safer in this area, but it wasn't to last.
Although those Northern Frontier women were skilled in martial arts and had strong physiques, they were outnumbered. Two fists are no match for four hands, and soon they began to fall behind.
The young masked girl suddenly discovered that Fang Jinshu could silently eliminate the people approaching them, so she made a bold decision. She deliberately drove her opponent towards Fang Jinshu's side.
Fang Jinshi didn't notice the masked girl's movements at first. She only felt that there were more and more people around her. Her silver needles were limited in number, and only a very small number could be retrieved. She was running out of them.
Having no other choice, she could only apply medicine powder. In short, whatever could discreetly subdue these people, she would use it, and she wouldn't worry about whether or not they would be discovered later.
Even if they found out, it wouldn't matter. She and Yuan Buyu had already reached a point of no return, where it was you die or I die, one more wouldn't make a difference.
"Little Moon, haven't you noticed that there are more and more people around us How come they keep fighting and end up coming over here"
"Shall we go somewhere else to hide"
Yu Lian kicked open the person Fang Jinxiu had knocked down with her foot, while muttering in confusion.
"Yes, I felt it too."
"They seem to have discovered that Mistress can take down these people, and they're deliberately pushing them our way!"
Fang Jinxiu turned cold, throwing the last packet of medicinal powder from her hand. Suddenly, she rolled up her sleeves and pulled Yu Lian and Xiaoyue upstairs.
Several of the girl in the mask's subordinates had already been seriously injured. She herself had two wounds on her arm and back. Just then, she saw Fang Jinxiu running upstairs and shouted with gritted teeth.
"Please!"
"Save us!"
"I will definitely thank you."
Fang Jinxiu's steps faltered, right as the masked girl shouted at her. Because of her carelessness, she was struck hard by a sword wielded by Jiang Ye's men. The few men around her were instantly alarmed, their voices exclaiming in their native dialect - words incomprehensible to anyone else.
Though by their tone they could see how important this young girl was.
Fan Jinshi sighed helplessly, perhaps today Heaven wanted them to walk into this restaurant just so she had to take care of this trivial matter.
She had already taken action against the Second Prince and Yuan Buyu, so saving a few more people from Beijang wouldn't make much difference.
Fang Jinshi turned her head to go, but she was held back by Yu Lian's arm.
"Sister-in-law, are you crazy Didn't we say not to meddle in other people's business"
"Silly girl, the enemy of my enemy is my friend," Fang Jinshi said quickly. "We're outnumbered in Beijing. These girls look stronger than Zhao Xingzhou and have a grudge against Yuan Buyu. Saving them will only benefit us."
Please note that I have removed any unnecessary formatting from the translated text.
She came up with this quick and clever excuse, which surprisingly made logical sense. Yu Lian and Xiao Yue were instantly convinced and nodded in agreement.
My sister-in-law is right! The enemy of my enemy is my friend!
Then the two quickly followed Shang Yinxiu's footsteps and turned back to save people.
Master Jiang's men had been beaten nearly to death by these Northern Border people. Those who could still stand barely had any fighting strength left. Fang Jinshi casually waved her sleeve, scattering some powder medicine that knocked them all unconscious.
Luckily, most of the excited spectators had already left when the officers arrived. The fight was over by then.
Xiaoyue displayed her diplomatic skills from this period. When the officials came to inquire, she turned a heart-stopping brawl into a personal grudge. The officials saw that almost all of them were women, and they were clearly more injured than the other party, so they didn't make things difficult for them.
Fang Jinxiu hurriedly squatted beside the masked girl to check her injuries. Just as she was about to touch the other party, she was stopped by several women surrounding her. The other party's eyes held a strong sense of suspicion and vigilance.
Not until the wounded girl made a feeble gesture and mumbled something in unintelligible Uyghur did they release her. Then, Fang Jinshu could approach the girl.
Fang Jinxiu hated this feeling of not understanding what others were saying, always feeling like things were out of her control.
Although she could tell what the girl had just done, it would be inconvenient not to understand their language if she wanted to interact with them.
As soon as she had this thought, suddenly Xiaolu's voice appeared in her mind.
"Master, it's easy to understand these people's words too. Little Green can help."
Fang Jinshu was taken aback. Could Xiao Lu actually help with this How could it help Was it going to translate Uyghur in her mind
She was right. Xiaolu did act as a translator, but not by speaking aloud. She used her own power to make some adjustments in Fang Jinshu's brain, allowing her to instantly understand Xinjiang dialect.
In the blink of an eye, the masked girl spoke again. She still couldn't understand her words, but the meaning appeared in her mind instantly.
This feeling was strange, like having a slightly delayed translator in your head. Fang Jinshi was astonished, but quickly adapted to it.
The masked girl just said, "Zhongyuan University has many talented people. She's very skilled, so you should be more polite to her."
Fang Jinshu picked an eyebrow, listening to this tone, the girl's identity was probably not simple.
"Thank you just now, miss."
The masked girl fainted after saying that. Fang Jinshu didn't want to just leave her there, after all, a life was at stake.
She had multiple injuries and was bleeding profusely. If not treated promptly, she could get into serious trouble.
"I am a doctor, I can heal wounds."
Hearing this, the few people from Beijang finally showed a hint of relaxation in their expressions. They asked her in a somewhat unfluent Central Plains dialect.
"Why are you willing to help us"
Fang Jinxiu raised an eyebrow and glanced at the fainted girl.
“You only need to know that if I wanted to harm you, I had the opportunity just now. There was no need to reveal my identity to save her.”
"Get her upstairs quickly, find a clean room! If you want her to live, you can keep asking."
Anyway, it's not like she's the one bleeding.
The female shopkeeper, probably the most senior person among this group after the girl, nodded.
"Alright, please help our master, miss. We will be eternally grateful!"
There is a small courtyard behind this restaurant, with rooms inside. Judging by the furnishings, it seems to be the room of the masked girl. It's a bit simple, but it's very clean.
"Prepare hot water and clean garments. Leave your traditional clothing behind; wear undergarments that fully cover your body."
The girl has so many wounds on her body, blood loss can also lead to a weakened immune system. It's always better to wear more clothes to prevent rapid heat loss.
These people looked at each other in dismay. After searching for ages, they couldn't even find a decent piece of Han clothing. Helpless, she had no choice but to let Xiaoyue go to the nearby clothing store and buy a few pieces.
When these women saw these new clothes, their eyes lit up.
Fang Jinshi was a little puzzled by the scene. They were just ordinary clothes, so why did they all seem so eager to get them
This restaurant was doing so well as soon as it opened. The person who could afford to rent and run such a large establishment wouldn't be short of silver for clothes, would they
She thought her guess was a little too outlandish.offending Prince Jing's Residence. Prince Jing is deeply favored by both the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. Have you considered this for me"Had it not been for the presence of so many people here, Z...
