It rained in the middle of the night, the temple was in a state of disrepair, and the roof was in tatters and leaking. Shan got up and moved his bedroll to the corner, then climbed up to the roof in the rain and demolished the east wall to make up for the west wall.

Just as he climbed down, he heard the sound of horse hooves approaching. Hearing that there were quite a few people around, he was greatly alarmed, and rushed into the Earth Temple to protect Tang Yue behind him.

"Someone's coming." Tang Yue sat up straight. Looking at the frail body that was in front of him, he actually felt touched.

He was clearly a complete stranger, yet he was willing to sacrifice his life for him. Even if this era's system were to create the servility of these people, Tang Yue still wouldn't be able to accept it.

With a knife in his hand, Tang Yue heard the other side saying anxiously, "Husband, if the other side makes a move later on, you can just run to the back and go upstream along the river. Ten days later, you will reach the imperial city.

Tang Yue held onto the warm blade, and asked calmly: "Do you know who this person is?"

Shan shook his head, "This servant doesn't know, but only the nobles can ride a horse. If these nobles want to rest in this temple, we might be chased away."

"Didn't you say that my father is a Yueyang Marquis? Could it be that his name is useless?" No matter what, he was a marquis with meritorious military service. It wasn't like he wouldn't be able to scare anyone, right?

Of course, Tang Yue felt that even if he told them his father s name, they would not believe him.

"As expected of my husband." Shan grinned. His body was no longer as tense.

In just this short period of time, the enemy had arrived outside of the temple. In this part of the village, there was no store at all. The goal of this temple was obvious.

A group of people rushed in with torches in their hands. The torches illuminated the entire temple, and a wave of moist air rushed over.

The black mass of heads instantly filled up the small Earth Temple. Tang Yue estimated that there were around 30 people. The other side clearly didn't expect that there would already be people here. However, after a few glances, he roughly judged that they didn't have much killing power, so he left them to their own devices.

"Quick, take King... "Bring my husband in!"

Four big men carried a palanquin in their hands as they walked in. The rain outside the temple was getting heavier and heavier. There was a lot of water inside the temple, and it had been stepped on by a group of people until it became muddy.

Tang Yue watched as a few youths carried some tarpaulin and climbed up onto the roof, covering the leaking water area. The rest of the people swept the floor and made the beds, quickly making this run-down temple look good.

Tang Yue watched the scene with relish, thinking, the human drive in this era was really stronger than normal, unlike the 21st century, where they were all pampered until they had to pour a cup of tea, waiting for an opportunity.

The curtain of the sedan chair was blown by the wind, Tang Yue only saw a piece of profound colored clothes and a pair of feet without shoes.

Tang Yue's brows twitched. Judging from the clothes and the color, the person inside the palanquin must be either rich or noble. But why not wear shoes? Moreover, at first glance, his feet always felt slightly larger than an ordinary man's feet.

As a result of his habit, when Tang Yue saw something unusual, he would always put it on the wound. Was it generalized edema or local edema, was it venous valve insufficiency or organ failure of the lower limbs?

After thinking alone for a while, Tang Yue was no longer as nervous as before.

Seeing that the group of people were minding their own business and did not drive them away, Shan secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but he still stubbornly stood in front of Tang Yue.

Tang Yue patted his shoulder, signalling him not to be nervous. This group of people looked very fiendish, but they had good discipline and did not display any killing intent, looking like well-trained soldiers.

This group of people had brought a patient along late at night. Either the patient was in dire need of medical attention, or an enemy was chasing them from behind. No matter which one, they definitely did not want to cause trouble.

In their eyes, the combination of two old and young beggars definitely did not have the slightest bit of lethality.
