Chapter 3: Rescue

  At this moment, a thrilling and terrifying scene is unfolding in Majuang Village on the west outskirts.

  Han family's eldest son, Han Jing, somehow found Li Xingming and quickly tied him up, bringing him back to the scene where his sister had fallen off her horse and fainted. He was furious, and more than a dozen servants from the Zhuang Shizi Manor were unable to stop him.

  Han Jing's martial arts skills were notorious in the circle of noble young masters in the capital, and his temper was equally explosive, so even Li Xinghua, the eldest son who rushed to hear the news, did not dare to confront him directly.

  "Han Jing, you've gone too far! What did my second brother ever do to offend you? You beat him up like this and still won't let go?"

  Li Xinghua did not know the beginning and end of things, before he was fishing and chatting with friends near Mazhuang, received a distress call from his second brother's attendant and rushed over in a hurry.

  Han Jing threw Li Xingming to the ground and kicked away Li Jiacai, who was trying to rescue him. Then he trampled Li Xingming under his foot like a dog.

  He scowled and snorted, rudely cursing Li Xinghua: "You despicable thing, stop pretending to be a good person here! You're not even worthy of being called a man! You didn't have the skills to win the horse racing competition against my sister, and when she wasn't paying attention, you deliberately knocked her off the horse. Now my sister is unconscious! If I don't teach him a lesson today, I'm not surnamed Han!"

  Li Xinghua's heart sank as soon as he heard the news, never expecting his second brother to cause such trouble, no wonder Han Jing was so bold as to treat the people of Zhuang Qinwang Fu like this.

  "Xing Ming, are you telling the truth?" He sternly asked his second brother, who was trampled underfoot by Han Jing and tied up like a bundle of firewood, with a face that had been beaten to a pulp.

  "Big brother, save me! Han Jing is a madman and he's going to throw me to my death!" Li Xingming didn't care about his face hurting anymore, loudly wailing and begging big brother for help, even forgetting to argue whether Han Jiangxue had intentionally pushed him or not.

  Upon hearing this, and thinking of Li Xingming's usual behavior, Li Xinghua knew that this matter was indeed caused by Li Xingming. He couldn't help but turn pale with rage, loudly scolding: "You good-for-nothing, how could you do such a thing? If anything happens to Han Jiangxue, even Father would not be able to forgive you!"

  The great Han family, even the emperor wouldn't dare to underestimate them. The eldest young lady of the Han family has never been someone easy to mess with, and with an extremely protective and hot-headed big brother like Han Jing watching over her, in this capital city, only his foolish second brother would dare to look for trouble on his own.

  "Big brother, please save me! I don't know how that horse got startled and ran into the crazy woman from the Hanjiang Snow family. It wasn't on purpose, please save me!" Li Xingming was so scared he cried out nonstop, thinking to himself that he must have been born under a bad star to have run into this pair of crazy siblings.

  "Shut up, you still want to quibble!"

  Han Jing's foot came down again, not allowing Li Xingming to make such an unpleasant howl, and then directly picked him up and put him on the horse: "Young master, let you taste the feeling of falling off the horse!"

  "Wait a minute, Han Jing, don't be impulsive, let's talk things over carefully, or else someone might get killed!" Li Xinghua rushed forward to stop them, after all, Li Xingming was his own younger brother, no matter how useless he was.

  "Cut the crap, let me knock this scoundrel out first!" Han Jing didn't care about Li Xinghua at all, he was afraid that even if Zhuang Qianwang arrived, he would still have to wait for him to finish beating up the person who bullied his sister.

  At this, everyone became anxious and hastily surrounded him, trying to persuade and stop him, but fearing Han Jing's ferocity, they kept a few steps away, not daring to get too close.

  After a brief stalemate, Han Jing became even more enraged, grabbed a horse whip and lashed out at the slaves blocking his way in front. A series of pained cries rang out, and then a path was cleared before him.

  Li Xinghua was anxious and tried every means to persuade him, but it was all in vain. He even brought out his father's remains, but Han Jing didn't bat an eyelid, showing no signs of fear or apprehension, with only a look that said he wanted revenge for his own sister.

  Just as Han Jing was about to be thrown off his horse, disaster looming before his eyes, a shallow yellow figure suddenly rushed over on horseback.

  "Big brother, stop!"

  Han Jiangxue shouted loudly, but she was still a step too late. Han Jing's whip lashed down fiercely and the horse, with Li Xingming's tied hands, galloped away in a mad dash.

  Li Xingming let out a miserable cry, his eyes fixed on the impossibility of keeping balance, and his whole body was about to be violently thrown off by the horse.

  Many people were so scared that their faces turned white, and their voices were stuck in their throats, unable to come out. Yet, no one had any way to help, and could only watch as the second young master of the family got into trouble.

  Han Jiangxue saw the situation and adjusted her direction without hesitation, rushing straight towards Li Xingming. Just as Li Xingming was about to be thrown off the horse, she gritted her teeth, controlled the horse with one hand, and stretched out the other hand to catch Li Xingming steadily.

  Although he managed to catch him, the force was too great and Han Xue couldn't withstand Li Xingming's weight. After a brief drag, he still fell to the ground. However, this crucial buffer saved his life, and when he actually hit the ground, it was just a few scrapes.

  "Don't cry out loud, you're not dead yet!"

  Han Jiangxue quickly grabbed Li Xingming, who was lying on the ground and shouting loudly. With a few quick movements, she untied him, and seeing that he was not seriously injured, she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

  Everyone finally reacted, but they never thought it would be Han Jiangxue who suddenly rushed out and saved the second young master.

  Li Xingming opened his eyes to find that he was indeed fine, and when he saw it was Han Jiangxue, he suddenly became excited and cried out like he had just met a savior: "Han Jiangxue, you're not dead! That's great, you're not dead!"

  This is a great skill, Li Xingming discovered for the first time that it's a good thing that this demoness is alive. At first, when Han Jiangxue was carried away in a coma, he even hoped she would die from the fall, but now all his thoughts have changed completely because of that madman Han Jingwan.

  "Shut your stinking mouth! If you dare curse my sister again, I'll skin you alive!"

  Han Jing rushed to Han Jiangxue's side at the fastest speed, glared at Li Xingming fiercely and immediately changed his expression, with a tense and concerned look, he pulled Han Jiangxue up and down and asked: "Sister, when did you wake up? Is there anywhere uncomfortable? What did the doctor say? Why are you not resting well at this time and still running around?"

  Han Jing was notoriously good to this sister, and everyone else wasn't surprised. Also seeing that Li Xingming's danger had been temporarily lifted, no one dared to go up and disturb him.

  "Big brother, don't worry, I'm fine." Han Jiangxue turned to question him, "What are you doing, big brother? This commotion will get someone killed!"

  "Hum, Li Xingming this scoundrel dares to secretly bully you, big brother will naturally take revenge for you!"

  Han Jingbian said as he stretched out his hand to grab Li Xingming and teach him a lesson for his sister, but unexpectedly was pulled back by Han Jiangxue.

  "That's enough, brother. He has been punished already. Let's just forget about this matter." Han Jiangxue said while gesturing to Li Xingming, who was still standing there in a daze, to quickly leave.

  Li Xingming was so scared that he rolled and crawled towards his big brother, hiding behind him before sticking out his head to shout loudly: "Han Jing you lunatic, how dare you treat me like this! When I get back, I'll let my father skin you alive!"

  "Alright, I'll just kill you directly today, little lord. Let's see if you still have the chance to find help!" Seeing Li Xingming still dared to be stubborn, Han Jing immediately rushed over and wanted to pull out that turtle grandson.

  Everyone tensed up again. No one here could beat Han Jing. This guy was unpredictable and might just make a comeback once more.

  Ke Li Xingming, this fool, had a loose tongue and was not afraid to die, he continued to provoke, the scene became chaotic again, even the young master Li Xinghua was worried.

  "That's enough, all of you shut up!"

  Han Jiangxue really couldn't bear it anymore and shouted loudly, blocking the two parties. His usual barbaric temperament actually played a very good role in calming the situation at the critical moment.
