Chapter 177: A Hero Saves a Beauty

After a moment of silence, Qian'er lowered her head and uttered a firm voice: "In order to help my foster father achieve his great cause, Qian'er will spare no expense!"

…………

Although allicin is no less than a panacea for the Ming Dynasty, Liu Bowen is old after all, and Ye Xuan did not dare to give too heavy a dose, so a bottle of allicin was taken more than ten times.

Three times a day, and Liu Bowen had been ill for too long, it was impossible for him to get better so quickly in a short time.

So, these days, Ye Xuan had nothing to do except giving Liu Bowen medicine on time every day.

One day, I was wandering around Qingtian County out of boredom, and passed by a teahouse so I walked in, thinking of having a cup of tea and taking a rest.

Just after sitting down, there was a noisy sound on the interface.

After a while, a beautiful woman was seen being blocked on the street by two middle-aged men who looked like thugs, right in front of the door of the teahouse where Ye Xuan was sitting.

The woman dodged left and right in panic, but she was not as agile as two strong men. No matter how she tried to escape, she was always blocked by the two men laughing.

"Hey, why are you running, little girl? We brothers are not bad people."

"Haha, that's right, we brothers just saw that the young lady was pretty, so we wanted to make friends with her."

The woman was panic-stricken and could only tremble and speak incoherently, repeating over and over again: "Please let me go, my master is waiting for me to come back after doing something."

Seeing this, the two thugs became even more excited. A weak woman can either arouse a man's desire to protect her, or arouse a man's desire to conquer her.

Right now, the two thugs were feeling the latter.

The pleasure brought by humiliating and teasing the weak makes them so excited that they forget everything else.

"Hehe, the young lady is so beautiful, but it's such a pity that she has to be someone else's maid!"

"Why don't you just follow us two brothers? We guarantee that you will have a good life in the future!"

"No, don't!" Faced with the two thugs getting closer and closer, the woman was so frightened that she almost cried.

Ye Xuan, who had been watching all this, suddenly threw the teacup in his hand, hitting one of the thugs on the head.

This time he used so much strength that the thug fell to the ground, holding his head.

When he opened his palms, he found they were covered in blood and immediately let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.

"Who is it? Who dares to attack your grandfather? If I catch you, you will know what it means to be worse off than dead!"

The two thugs immediately looked around, and all the people who made eye contact with the two thugs turned their heads away in panic, fearing that they would be regarded as the ones who attacked them.

Others may not know these two, but the local people in Qingtian are all aware that they are a pair of brothers who are used to being domineering in Qingtian County.

But these two brothers are also smart. They don’t bully local people, but only outsiders, and do all kinds of evil things such as extortion.

But these two brothers are smart, and even if they are blackmailed, they usually don’t ask for too much.

The amount can be as much as a dozen taels of silver or as little as dozens of copper coins.

Most people who encounter such things take the attitude of "it's better to have less trouble than more" when they are out and about, and as long as the injuries are not serious, they generally will not report to the police.

Logically speaking, these two brothers know their limits and generally would not commit serious crimes to avoid attracting the attention of the government.

But the woman in front of them was so beautiful, and from the accent she sounded like a foreigner, the two brothers were immediately tempted. Seeing that no one dared to stand up, the thug who had just felt a little embarrassed became more powerful and cursed: "Imitate your hero to save the beauty, you bastard, get out of here!"

"You are nothing but a hero if you only dare to hide in the dark!"

"You're not going to come out, are you? I'm going to kill this girl right here on the street. It's all your fault!"

As he said this, he approached the woman with a lewd smile.

But at this moment, a stool that was dozens of times larger than a teacup flew out and flew straight towards the thug whose head was smashed.

The thug's head exploded and he collapsed to the ground, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

But this time everyone could see clearly that the stool flew out from the teahouse on the street.

The person who took action was Ye Xuan.

The other thug who was unharmed saw this and cried out in grief: "Brother!"

He then took out a dagger from his arms, and just when everyone thought that this gangster brother would rush up to avenge his brother, something unexpected happened.

The thug pretended to rush towards Ye Xuan, but halfway through, he suddenly turned towards the frightened woman, strangled her neck tightly, stared at her chest with a dagger in one hand, and shouted at Ye Xuan:
"You want to be a hero, right? Fine, I'll help you do that!"

"Now you crawl over here on your knees, or I will kill this woman together with you. But you have to remember, it was you who killed her, not me who wanted to kill her!"

When the onlookers saw this, even though they did not want to provoke the two thugs, they could not help but feel indignant at their shamelessness when they saw him using a weak woman to threaten a chivalrous knight.

However, what was even more unexpected to everyone was that Ye Xuan was actually indifferent, and even crossed his arms across his chest, acting as if he was doing whatever the boss said.

The gangster suddenly lost his composure. This guy didn't play by the rules. He couldn't really kill this delicate girl in his arms, right?

Putting aside the question of whether he was willing to do so or not, just the thought of causing a death and the two brothers having to flee for their lives in the future made him shudder.

However, with so many local people watching, how can I survive in Qingtian County if I can't defeat them?

The thug was determined and said, "You don't believe it, right? Just watch!"

He moved the dagger in his hand and stabbed it towards the woman's chest.

However, as he was about to be stabbed, Ye Xuan remained indifferent.

Ye Xuan had already seen through it. These were just two street thugs. It was ok for them to steal and bully outsiders, but if they were asked to kill someone, they would not dare to do so even if they were given the courage.

Sure enough, just as the knife was about to pierce the woman's chest, the thug suddenly stopped.

The knife didn't penetrate her, but it accidentally tore the woman's clothes on her chest, revealing a corner of her pink bellyband.

"You're so cruel, you better remember this, little brat!"

The thug was mad and kicked his unconscious brother twice, planning to take the girl somewhere else to have some fun first.

However, Ye Xuan tried to dissuade them: "Hey, just tell the truth and take the person away!"

Dipi thought that Ye Xuan was reluctant to give up the chance to be a hero and save the beauty, and thought that he could take the opportunity to take revenge.

Unexpectedly, Ye Xuan's next words frightened him to death.
