“Sial!”
Zhao Jun hissed in annoyance. He hurriedly ran away from the pile of wood to sneak into the small alleys of the very narrow and dark houses.
He no longer cared if he had to get caught by the two gate guard soldiers behind because they were already aware of his whereabouts.
“STOP YOU INTRUDER!”
The soldier chasing behind there exclaimed loudly. Their fairly high running speed caught up with Zhao Jun with a relatively short period of time.
Zhao Jun was upset not playing.
Coupled with his running speed that was starting to decrease from being too tired after a long trip just now to arrive here just now, he was getting more panicked and a little desperate.
“Don't till I get caught by them! Don't make it!”
Unfortunately, expectations are often inversely proportional to reality. Similarly, the exam usually depends on individual intentions.
Zhao Jun who had just made it out of the narrow alley and arrived at the streets of the much wider residential settlement was trying to accelerate his run once again by exerting all his strength.
In his mind, no matter what happened, he had to survive those two gate guard soldiers and arrive at the Heavenly Medicine Hall like his original intention.
However, Zhao Jun was actually confused because he no longer heard the sound of the footsteps of the gate guard soldiers from behind.
“Did they give up chasing me? It seems impossible?” zhao Jun murmured inwardly.
Out of curiosity, Zhao Jun finally chose to take a short look. He wanted to know if they had really stopped chasing or how.
However, when Zhao Jun turned his head, the two gate guard soldiers he was looking for actually emerged from the narrow alley turn in front!
“Stop! You can't escape anymore, you intruder!”
“Yes! You can't run anymore!”
Zhao Jun spontaneously turned his face back to the front while stopping his hard-earned steps, lest the absurdity hit them.
“Sial! These soldiers are really troublesome!” zhao Jun growled inwardly.
However, he was still trying to find a way to escape their entanglement. He can't get caught or his business will get longer.
“Why? Are you afraid we'll catch him now? You want to run away again? It won't be!” exclaimed one of the two guard soldiers in a mocking tone.
Zhao Jun narrowed. He put his feet back, ready to turn around and run away round. Not intending to respond to them at all.
This was clearly realized by the two guard soldiers. They instantly exchanged glances with each other before finally walking closer to Zhao Jun with wide strides.
“Yo! You can't leave! You must come with us back to the capital gate to be checked and detained!”
“No!” Zhao Jun spontaneously answered him. “No going!”
Unfortunately right after Zhao jun said that, he actually stumbled due to slippage and fell down to sit in front of the two guard soldiers who immediately laughed out loud because of it.
“HA-HA-HA!”
“You're really thinking of escaping? Then feel it!”
Zhao Jun snorted for it. Even so, his intention had not been extinguished. He tried to get up, but apparently his ankle sprained.
“Argh!”
Seeing this, the two gate guard soldiers exchanged glances for a moment before finally advancing to capture Zhao Jun.
“You've been caught and can't escape anymore, Intruder! See what punishment you'll receive tomorrow morning, ha-ha-ha!”
Zhao Jun gritted his teeth.
He really doesn't know what else to do now. With his condition, he was sure he would be very difficult to run and escape from these two guard soldiers. But he also could not be silent and resigned if captured by them.
Just when Zhao Jun was completely flustered from despair, and the two gate guard soldiers were about to catch him, he said, a fan suddenly came streaking from the distance and repulsed the two gate guard soldiers until they staggered.
‘SWOOSHH!!’
‘Bugh! Bugh!’
“Argh!!”
The two gate guard soldiers were screaming in pain because of the fan punch that came hitting their respective stomachs.
Spontaneously, this matter shocked Zhao Jun.
He hurriedly turned his head to his right and left to find out who threw this fan-shaped weapon to help him.
“Huh!!! What did you guys do to one of my guys?!”
The voice of a young girl who tended to be a little loud but still delicate suddenly came into Zhao Jun's ears and the two gate guard soldiers.
After that, his figure appeared by jumping from a golden-totled horse carriage to Zhao Jun's side.
‘Hap!’
With a sharp and arrogant look in her eyes, the girl reached out her hand to catch her fan back.
“HYAP!”
Her dress that was bright red now moved following the movements of her body.
And from just this little move alone, Zhao Jun could guess that this girl was a martial arts practitioner. But, he was certain that his martial skills were still very standard, not too expert yet.
“You okay?” the girl suddenly turned her head and lowered her head towards Zhao Jun.
On the other hand, the two gate guard soldiers who had been hit by the fan attack of the Red Maired Girl were now trying hard to be able to stand up again stably.
The two of them tried to approach the Red-clad Girl with somewhat friendly faces.
Because, they could see that this girl must be a noble daughter. This could be seen easily from the plaque of the horse carriage he was riding.
“Princess,” call them trying to make small talk.
However, the Red-clad Girl paid no heed to him. He was still faithfully staring at Zhao Jun who had yet to rise from his sitting position due to a fall and sprain.
Her pretty face was now shrouded in a stern, arrogant, and somewhat irritated expression.
“You are! When do you want to look at me like that? You want me to report it to Dad or what? Or, don't-don't you want me to fire, yeah?”
Zhao Jun was completely confused to hear that. He looked at the girl more closely, before finally catching the code of a strange blink of an eye from her.
Only then did he understand that this girl was helping him by giving him an identity as his employer.
“M-Sorry Miss! My leg sprains, I have difficulty waking up.”
The corner of the Red-clad Girl's mouth twitched after hearing Zhao Jun's honest words. Without saying much, he then stretched out his fan.
“Well! Hold this fan! I'll help you wake up!”
Zhao Jun did not reject him at all. Although he did not know what purpose this Red-Get Girl had helped him, but he did need her help for now.
“Thank you, Miss!”
As soon as Zhao Jun woke up and stood up to himself properly, the Red-clad Girl turned to look towards the two gatekeepers of the capital who looked so silent and unbolded.
“You two. What are you doing to my subordinates?! Did you know that I am the Princess of the Medicinal King of the Bei Empire?!”
