Dealing with Bandits

The two weeks passed like a fly with Yun being called Miracle Doctor or a Saint because of him saving many lives for almost nothing in exchange which was solidifying his cover as a wandering doctor.

But Yun needed to leave because rumors of what happened in Zhan began to spread in Lunu which made Yun understand that soon the rumors about a miracle doctor treating in Lunu will spread soon as well.

He didn't want Yuan Shao to appear out of nowhere and ask him to treat him just to realize that the miracle doctor is the person that inflicted all his previous injuries.

Zhen Luo and Rin were also ready to leave Lunu since Rin was curious about where she will be spending her life while Zhen Luo made sure that her stubborn father wouldn't dare to stay in Lunu.

Zhen Yi reassured Zhen Luo that they will be leaving a week after them and meet up in Boling. Yun knew very well why Zhen Yi was more favorable to leave now which came from the rumor about a warrior defeating a whole army of Xiongnu in Zhan.

Zhen Yi could put one and one together and with Yun's aura which he felt before he knew that Yun would really drag them out of the manor himself easily if he didn't comply with moving out of Lunu.

He was already trying to pack the most needed for him while Madam Zhang had already packed everything necessary for them behind his back.

Yun, on the other hand, was having a severe headache because of his modified plan. He was planning the route anew since they needed to avoid Yuan Shao's soldiers who might have heard of a miracle doctor practicing in Lunu.

It wouldn't be far-fetch for one of his loyal dogs to appear before them out of nowhere to take Yun to Yuan Shao. It would be a funny situation but not with Rin's and Zhen Luo's lives on the line.

"So when will we arrive at home?" asks Rin curiously since she wants to finally meet her new siblings.

"It depends on how fast your mother's family travel to Boling. But it will be roughly a month before we even see the big iron gates called White Gates Tower which lies to the south of the city. I will show you and the others around once we are there," says Yun excited to finally arrive at Xiapi as well since he would enter the city this time peacefully.

"Rin must be quite excited to meet her siblings. Zheng will accept you right away since you have an affinity with animals. Yang is still small and will see you like his older sister once he gets older," says Zhen Luo only talking about Zheng and Yang since she spent most of her time with those two than with the twins.

Yun knows that Zhen Luo could never be a mother figure for Mulan and Fang since they are almost the same age but at least he hoped that they could become friends.

"Then there is also your older sister named Mulan and your oldest brother named Fang. Mulan will love you right away since she always wanted to have a little sister and with you, she can finally get the upper hand until Yang is older," says Yun since Huixiu is seen by the Zhao family as a daughter since she spent half of her life with them already.

The females had the upper hand at the moment in the new generation until Yang is older and he can stand beside the males tying them up again with three females and three males.

They took three days to reach Boling where Yun exchanged his cart for a much bigger one after removing his things from the hidden compartment and storing them in his ring.

Yun treated some people which paid him with meals for his family or coins which Yun set to ten coins which was reasonable since doctors would take more than that to treat their patients.

They waited for about a week in Boling for the Zhen Family to finally arrive which seemed to not be comfortable with the way it was going since they never traveled far from home except for Madam Zhang and Zhen Yi.

Shadow landed on Yun's shoulder and he could smell blood coming from her when he asks, "Was there trouble on the way?"

Shadow nods before landing and writing with her talons 'Bandits' making Yun pet the eagle in her favorite place because she took care of the bandits for the Zhen Family which would be in tremendous trouble if they were caught by them.

Shadow then flew toward Thunder since her previous resting place on the old cart was gone and rested on his head which annoyed the horse a bit but he didn't do anything.

They stayed for two more days in Boling before skipping town and making their way toward Lecheng which took them a whole week since their traveling speed slowed down with the new additions.

But Yun wasn't bothered by it since Rin was having fun riding one of the horses which Zhen Yi used to pull their carriage. They sold the carriage and bought provisions with the money they obtained from it.

Zhen Luo seemed to have accustomed to traveling compared to her sisters which seemed more annoyed by it. It can also be that they are wearing cheap clothes to not draw attention to their group which seems to annoy them even more than sleeping uncomfortably around a campfire hugging each other to keep themselves warm.

Yun mostly slept holding his sword in one arm while leaning against a tree while Thunder and Shadow kept Rin warm. Zhen Luo slept with her sisters trying to make it more smooth for them since she has more experience than them when it comes to camping outside.

It was dark and the campfire was out when Yun heard something. He stood up and pulled out the sword from its sheath before looking at Shadow and Thunder who also woke up.

"Keep Rin and the others save," whispers Yun to them concerned as his armor appears over his clothes.

He walked into the woods with his eyes closed while letting his Qi run around the area to scan it, finding a small group of bandits near him ready to ambush their camp.

"It should be easy," says Yun confident in his skill as he opens his eyes and infuses his legs with Qi before running in the direction of the bandits.

He sees them and they see him. They were in disbelief while Yun had a grin on his face as he slashes at the first bandit cutting him in two diagonally making the upper body slide down slowly while the left arm dropped to the ground with the sword still in the bandit's hand.

Yun looked at the bandits and says in a cold tone, "You picked the wrong group to rob today."

The bandits felt chills run down their spines because of the coldness in Yun's voice while the image they were seeing was a demon dressed in black armor covered in blood as if it was natural for him.

Yun then kicked the dead bandit's lower body at two bandits while taking two knives from the belt strapped diagonally to his armor and throwing them at the two bandits which were holding bows dropping them down in the confusion.

Yun then stomped on the tip of the sword that the dead bandit was using beforehand making it bounce off the earth into the air with the arm and pommel upside.

He waits for a second when it begins to drop again and he kicks it at one of the two bandits that evaded the lower body of the dead body impaling the bandit to a tree, leaving only one bandit.

Yun looked at the bandit and points his sword at him before saying in a cold tone, "I would run away if I were you. Maybe you will survive the night."

The bandit heard that turned around wanting to run away but Yun just pierced his sword through his back making the bandit see the tip of his sword when Yun hears, "I thought you would let me go?"

"I never promised that I wouldn't kill you. I just hinted that you might survive not that you will survive," says Yun into his ears before putting his foot against the back of the bandit.

He pulled his sword out while kicking the bandit who dropped to the ground dead and Yun says, "We are a big target for bandits since the Zhen Family joined the group. It is no wonder since women can be sold into brothels after they had their fun with them, disgusting pigs."

Yun then spits at the ground while opening his palm which made the knives return and he put them back on the belt before sheathing his sword not worried that it will rust because it would absorb the blood staining it. The armor disappeared again and he arrives at the camp finding Zhen Luo wide-awake holding the praying beads in her hand.

"What are you doing?" asks Yun confused as Zhen Luo stopped praying and saw him.

She looked at Yun's face and saw a bit of blood on his right cheek which stained his face after cutting the first bandit in two.

"I heard you leave so I began to pray to calm my mind," says Zhen Luo in a worried tone as she takes out a rag and tries to clean his face.

Yun moved a bit down and she cleans his face to find no wound under the blood which made Zhen Luo sigh in relief.

"Don't worry it isn't my blood," says Yun warmly seeing that Zhen Luo was genuinely worried about him.

"We are being attacked more frequently now that we are traveling in a bigger group," says Zhen Luo worried since it wasn't the first time they were attacked since the group got bigger.

"It is because of you and your sisters. It is easy to make money by selling a good product and you, and your sisters, are quite the product if you ask me," says Yun trying to ease the situation they are in since he could deal with bandits easily.

She only slapped his shoulder lightly a bit angry with him for calling them items but he was just stating the truth since the bandits are most likely seeing big money when they see their group from afar without any guards.

"We might hire two mercenaries once we reach Dongguang. It should make bandits think twice about attacking our group," says Yun as he walked to the tree before putting his sword to the side while signalizing Zhen Luo to join him.

She sits down beside him and leans against his arm before falling asleep again while Yun used his Qi again to scan the area finding it clean before letting his mind go to sleep.
