Chapter 550 The Villainous Female Supporting Character Who Impersonated the Tyrant's Savior 5
Jizhou is very close to the capital; it only took a day and a night to reach the bandit mountain.
When Junze led a thousand soldiers up the mountain to raid the bandits' lair, Xia Xizhi pretended to be unskilled in martial arts but was loyal enough to protect him (and cause trouble).
Junze, on horseback, drew his bow and shot at the assassin on the mountaintop. Xia Xizhi, riding erratically, rushed over to protect the emperor. He accidentally fell off his horse, grabbed the emperor's leg, and pulled him off as well.
Junze used his sword to kill the bandits, and she helped by throwing stones at them, nearly hitting Junze on the head.
When Junze was surrounded by assassins, she unleashed her full power, cutting down all who stood in her way. She fearlessly shielded him from the blades. But then, someone stepped on Junze's instep, causing Junze to gasp in shock...
"Your Majesty, be careful! Your Majesty, I'm here to your rescue!"
"Your Majesty, be careful! Your Majesty is coming!"
"Your Majesty, please be careful, I will never let you get hurt..."
Junze endured the pain in his foot, gritting his teeth.
"If you stand there and don't move, I won't get hurt."
What a sin!
Is this the price he has to pay for being saved by this scourge?
Back in Kyoto, this good-for-nothing must be thrown into the military camp for rigorous training!
"Your Majesty, I did this for you, how can you say such a thing about me..."
Xia Xizhi paused, looking aggrieved and heartbroken.
Junze ignored her and pulled her behind him.
"Hide well, or if you dare to move another step, I'll chop off your donkey-kissed head!"
"I know."
Xia Xizhi, who looked sad and aggrieved just a second ago, changed her expression the moment she hid behind Junze, and her sad look vanished.
All of that was to maintain the persona. Now that he's successfully retired, he can finally take a break and stop acting...
The tyrant truly lives up to his reputation as a major villain; his kung fu is exceptional, and she might not even be able to defeat him in a direct confrontation. Plus, he's ridiculously handsome.
With his tall and slender figure, dressed in a dark purple robe with gold thread and a gold hairpin, and his hair moving slightly, even when he was killing someone, he looked like a beautiful painting.
A field of corpses lay before him, yet not a single leaf touched him, and his robes were spotless, except for the one foot she had stepped on...
Xia Xizhi pulled out a handful of melon seeds and thought to himself...
I'll take care of him tonight.
......
In just half a day, Junze had either killed or captured all the bandits on the mountain.
Upon reaching the mountaintop, a member of the Imperial Guard came over and whispered something in his ear. Junze's expression changed, and then he got up and left.
Xia Xizhi had keen senses and overheard snippets of the Embroidered Uniform Guard's words.
She keenly grasped the key words: cave, secret scroll, and background.
Looking in the direction Junze left, Xia Xizhi raised an eyebrow slightly.
It seems that Junze is not as simple as the ministers thought.
Originally, she, like the other ministers, thought that his personality was just unpredictable, irritable, and prone to anger, doing whatever he wanted immediately.
So it's not surprising that he suddenly decided to personally suppress the bandits.
But hearing those words made her realize that Junze clearly had other motives and was just using the bandit suppression as a pretext.
"Prime Minister Xia, what should we do with these girls?"
The guard's voice brought Xia Xizhi back to his senses. He turned around and saw a group of scantily clad women huddled in the grass, shivering.
The guards all turned their heads away, avoiding their gaze.
"How about we take off our clothes and give them to them? But that's not proper etiquette, and it might not be good for their reputation if we go back like that," a guard said, scratching his head.
Xia Xizhi waved her hand, "No need. You go to the carriage and get my package. It's full of women's clothes. Give them some."
Upon hearing this, the guard quickly went to fetch it.
She had anticipated this scene; in the original storyline, these women returned to the capital dressed as guards, which led to much gossip and pointing fingers. Therefore, she had prepared the clothes in advance.
This plot point is also connected to the storyline of falsely accusing General Meng of treason.
One of the girls who were recruited was Madam Meng's maid.
According to the plot, Junze handed these women over to her for arrangement. While arranging these girls, she overheard one of the girls talking about General Meng's wife, Lady Gao, who had been exchanging letters with the Silla Kingdom for many years.
She led her men to surround the Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion overnight. After finding the letter, she threatened Gao's youngest son's life to force her to confess.
Later, they even prevented General Meng from entering the palace to meet Junze upon his return to the capital, and had him directly imprisoned.
The entire Meng family was falsely accused, their property confiscated, and their clan exterminated, yet she was granted a marquisate as a result...
This portrayal of a treacherous official is truly despicable...
I don't know why Junze trusted her so much.
Xia Xizhi's eyelids twitched; she was about to embark on this tumultuous storyline.
They certainly couldn't actually behead the entire Meng family, but a false accusation was absolutely necessary; they had to find a way to satisfy both sides...
After the clothes arrived, Xia Xizhi, being a woman, naturally took the package and personally distributed it to the group of girls.
While distributing the cards, I gently comforted them.
"Don't be afraid, you've been rescued. After you return to Kyoto tomorrow, forget everything that happened here. If you don't have a place to stay, I will arrange it for you."
The girls were initially scared, but when they saw Xia Xizhi's 'handsome' face and his gentle, breeze-like tone, they were no longer afraid.
Their faces flushed slightly as they looked at Xia Xizhi and nodded, biting their lips.
......
As darkness fell, Junze still hadn't returned. After dinner, Xia Xizhi quietly went to the hot spring pool to observe the terrain.
Junze is a clean freak, so he'll definitely be taking a shower tonight, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
"Minister Xia, are you also planning to soak in the hot springs? That's perfect, come with me."
The sound of Junze behind her startled her so much that she stumbled and almost fell into the pool.
Junze grabbed her by the back of her neck, and Xia Xizhi turned her head to face Junze's chest muscles.
Full pectoral muscles, well-defined abdominal muscles, a V-line radiating sexual tension, and further down...
Damn it.
Why isn't Junze wearing any clothes?!
Xia Xizhi's nose suddenly felt hot, and blood dripped down in a splatter...
