Chapter 154 Encountering Bandits on the Road

As we left the capital and headed north, the most obvious feeling was that it was getting colder and colder.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, even carrying sand.

Although Yu Youning was thinking about the wild fruits, they were on their way and it was impossible for them to stop and let her pick the fruits. She could only hope to pick them when they had a break.

But the first two times we rested, we were either at the post station or in town.

By noon on the third day, they were halfway through their journey and finally reached the endless mountain road.

Yu Youning opened the window and looked out, his eyes full of excitement.

When they stopped to rest and have lunch later, she could go pick some fruit!

Pecans, hawthorns, chestnuts, persimmons and jujubes, they are all hers!

Yu Youning rubbed his hands together, his face full of excitement.

At this moment, the silence around was suddenly broken.

The sounds of horse hooves approached from the front and back, and many people rushed down from the hillsides on both sides.

Almost in the blink of an eye, these people had surrounded the two carriages.

This incident happened too suddenly. The smile on Yu Youning's face was still there, but her big eyes were full of doubts.

"Who are you?" Yu Youning asked curiously.

Could it be that they knew that she wanted to pick wild fruits, and they were angry, so they came to stop her?

But if the mountain fruit really has an owner, just tell her!

She certainly wouldn't pick other people's things!

Is it necessary to have so many people come?

Zhu Laoer looked at Yu Youning's fair and tender little face, listened to her words full of doubts, and laughed out loud.

"Who are we? Isn't it obvious? Can't you see?"

As he spoke, he raised the big knife on his shoulder and laughed wildly.

The others also laughed, and their laughter scared away the birds in the forest.

After all, Jiang Lingzhou was a few years older than Yu Youning, and he had been traveling with his master for some time, so he naturally knew more. When he saw the way these people were dressed, he realized their identities.

"Youning." Jiang Lingzhou pulled Yu Youning's sleeve, "They are bandits, come in quickly."

Yu Youning's eyes instantly widened, and they were full of curiosity. "So these are the bandits! But doesn't the book say that all bandits are vicious and evil? They don't look like that to me!"

This successfully made Zhu Laoer laugh.

Zhu Laoer laughed out loud, "This little girl can actually talk! Since you can talk so well, I can spare your lives. I'll leave all your valuables and your carriages, and I'll let you go!"

Zhu Lao San, who was standing by, glanced at Zhu Lao Er with his small eyes and said, "Lao Er, big brother hasn't spoken yet. When will it be your turn to make the decision?"

"You, the third one, do you have the right to interrupt me when I, the second one, am talking?"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Boss Zhu snorted coldly, "Shut up, everyone!"

It would be fine if they were just arguing in private, but now they are still arguing in front of outsiders. They don’t feel ashamed, but he feels ashamed!

Hearing that their eldest brother was angry, Zhu Laoer and Zhu Laosan looked at each other, snorted at the same time, and turned their heads to the side.

Boss Zhu ignored them and just looked towards the carriage.

"Now, hand over all your valuables. Since my second brother has promised to spare your lives, I will give him a favor today and let you leave safely."

"I'm going to be frank with you. I'm going to spare your lives, but you need to be grateful and not be ungrateful. If you try to play any tricks, you'll be the only ones to suffer or even die in the end!"

Yu Youning looked at his parents' carriage curiously.

Mother didn't show up, and Father lowered his head slightly. It seemed that neither of them intended to say anything.

Since none of them spoke, she came alone.

Yu Youning got out of the carriage, stood on the shaft, put his hands on his hips, and tried to make his voice louder.

"I can't give you money, but let us pass now and I can spare your lives!"

Zhu Laoer scratched his ears, his eyes full of disbelief, "What did you just say? Will you forgive us?"

He could break the neck of such a tiny little girl with just one hand. Who gave her the courage to say that?

Yu Youning nodded, "Yes! If you move aside now, I will spare your life."

As she spoke, she thought carefully and added, "But you can escape punishment for a crime you're not guilty of! It's wrong for you to be bandits. You have to..."

Before Yu Youning could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhu Laoer.

"You little brat, I gave you a chance to live, but you didn't cherish it. Now you're trying to teach me a lesson!"

Zhu Laosan sneered, "You are so kind-hearted. You gave others a chance to live, but they still want to deal with you!

We are originally bandits, why are you pretending to be a good person here?"

Zhu Laoer was very angry after being ridiculed by Zhu Laosan.

"Who's pretending to be nice?! I was just teasing her, but she actually dared to take advantage of me! If that's the case, don't blame me for being rude!"

As Zhu Laoer spoke, he patted the neck of the horse under his crotch, jumped into the air, and held a big knife in his right hand, pointing the sword directly at Yu Youning.

His huge body was like a small mountain, rushing towards Yu Youning at an extremely fast speed.

When Chu Huaixu saw this scene, he immediately got out of the carriage and stood in front of Yu Youning with his arms open.

Seeing this, Liuyun, who was driving, also stood up and pointed at Zhu Laoer with a long sword in his hand.

Zhu Laoer sneered, "None of you can protect the person I, Zhu Laoer, want to kill!"

This little girl has caused him such a big loss. No matter what she says today, he will break her neck!

Wen Shiyan, who had been keeping his head slightly lowered, now looked up at Zhu Laoer and said, "Who gave you the courage to kill my daughter?"

He did not stand up, but the moment he raised his hand, several flying knives shot towards Zhu Laoer.

The flying knife was extremely fast and arrived in front of Zhu Laosan in almost the blink of an eye.

Zhu Laoer twisted his body and blocked with the long knife in his hand.

But no one knew what material the flying knife was made of, it was extremely hard.

After colliding with the long sword, it actually penetrated the blade of the long sword and shot directly towards Zhu Laoer's face.

Zhu Laoer was horrified and his face turned pale in an instant. He used up all his life's knowledge to barely dodge the flying knife.

Although he was not stabbed, the flying knife still flew past his face.

Zhu Laoer fell to the ground with a loud thud. His huge body shook the ground and stirred up countless dust.

Zhu Laoer felt as if his whole body was falling apart.

Especially on the face, it not only felt burning hot, but also a warm liquid was constantly flowing out.

Zhu Laoer tried several times before he finally got up from the ground.

He looked at the long sword that could no longer be used, then touched his face and looked at his hands covered in blood. He was shocked and angry. The look he gave Wen Shiyan was full of resentment, but also fear.

This man seemingly threw a few flying knives casually, but he made him so embarrassed.

If this person had really attacked, wouldn't he have been dead just now?

Realizing that he had walked through the gates of hell early in the morning, Zhu Laoer's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.

His eyes were still fixed on Wen Shiyan, but his feet were constantly retreating.

It was not until he retreated to the side of Zhu Lao Da that Zhu Lao Er quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Boss Zhu also had a gloomy face at this time, staring straight at Wen Shiyan.

Wen Shiyan just took a move and scared Zhu Laoer and also shocked him.

After hesitating for a long time, Boss Zhu finally said, "Your Excellency is very skilled, but you are alone. Two fists cannot defeat four hands. How about we each take a step back? We only want money, not your lives. We can also leave the carriage to you. How about it?"

"Haha." Wen Shiyan laughed, "You want our money, and you still ask me what's going on? But since you asked, I'll tell you my answer - no."

Boss Zhu's expression became even uglier.

He came with so many brothers. If he was scared back by Wen Shiyan's flying knife, how would he have any face left in the future?

Since Wen Shiyan is shameless, it’s not his fault.

"What are you still standing there for? Come on!"

At Boss Zhu's command, people from all directions rushed towards the two carriages.

Wen Shiyan jumped up and pulled out a spear from the compartment of the carriage.

The silver spear flashed a cold light in the sunlight, and every time it was swung, it was full of momentum.

At the same time, Yu Tingwan also flew out of the carriage and drew out a soft sword from his waist.

The two of them are like two gods of war.

Although there were many bandits, they could not get close to them at all.

In just a few breaths, a group of people fell to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Boss Zhu's face turned green with anger.

They looked like two ordinary carriages, but there were actually two such powerful people hiding inside!

What are the identities of these two people!

Zhu Laosan's face didn't look good either, but his brain didn't stop working.

"Boss, I'm going to the carriage at the back and capture that little girl!"

Boss Zhu nodded immediately and said, "Go!"

Judging from the looks of it, this man and woman should be a couple.

The man said that the little girl was his daughter.

As long as we capture their daughter, no matter how powerful the two of them are, they will surrender!

There were also bandits around Yu Youning and his companions' carriage, but they were all stopped by Liuyun and Jiang Lingzhou.

As Chu Huaixu's official bodyguard, Liuyun's martial arts skills are naturally not weak.

Although Jiang Lingzhou is just a teenager, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child and his martial arts skills are very powerful.

It was the first time the two of them worked together, and they had a good understanding of each other. They cooperated very well and stopped all the bandits who were besieging them.

Chu Huaixu pulled Yu Youning into the carriage. His face was as pale as paper, but he was still strong and calm.

"Youning, don't be afraid, nothing will happen!"

There are secret guards in the dark. As long as there is anything wrong with the situation, they will rush out and take care of all the bandits.
