A koi spirit transmigrated into a book, becoming the daughter of a condemned official. As soon as she was born, her grandmother wanted to give her to a man-eating hunter. She could only cry and com...
"No, there are archers around."
Chen Xiang believed that Zhu Haotian's impulsive behavior was unreliable; once their location was exposed, they might not even have time to use gunpowder.
Seeing her uncles' bewildered expressions, Xixi also became anxious. The longer this situation dragged on, the more dangerous it would be for everyone.
She rolled her dark eyes, quickly went to the shelf, picked out a few pieces of coal, and returned to the screen.
Then, she grabbed the coal with both hands and threw it at Zhu Borong, one of the prisoners.
The coal flew through the screen and hit Zhu Borong directly on the head. He was in so much pain that his face turned pale, and he stood up angrily.
"Who, which bastard hit me?"
Wen Xiuying didn't want Zhu Borong to attract attention, so she tugged at his sleeve and whispered.
"Master, Yan Yan is gone, so please keep a low profile!"
Zhu Borong angrily flicked his sleeves and sat down on the grass, saying, "That brat is sure she'll be eating and drinking well in the county town while we suffer here."
"Say less! We don't even know if Yan Yan is alive or dead." Wen Xiuying got angry when she heard Zhu Borong's words, her face was haggard, and she gently stroked Zhu Zinan's head.
Xixi had intended to send the hot-tempered Zhu Borong to find his uncle in the bushes, but she was surprised by his calm demeanor.
Left with no other choice, she went back to the shelf, pulled out a large bag of coal, and frantically threw it at the guards and prisoners in front of the camera.
After Xixi smashed things up, the guards watching the prisoners in the woods finally got angry and roared at the surrounding area.
"Which bastard smashed my things?"
He cursed and pulled out a large knife from his waist, walking towards the bushes where Chen Xiang was hiding.
Seeing this, Chen Xiang angrily whispered to the crowd behind him, "Who the hell smashed this?"
Everyone looked at each other blankly and shook their heads in unison.
Seeing the guards approaching with large knives, Zhu Haotian swiftly stepped forward, covered the guards' mouths and noses, and dragged them into the bushes.
The escort looked around in terror until he saw Chen Xiang and Zhu Wen, then he pushed Zhu Haowen away.
"Boss?"
"Don't speak, there are archers nearby."
Chen Xiang stared nervously at the situation in the woods, gesturing for his brothers beside him to shush.
Upon seeing this, Zhu Wen hurriedly stepped forward and took the person away, explaining the current situation in a low voice.
"Old Liu, do you understand? The task is to bring the person here without giving anyone away."
After listening, Lao Liu nodded with a serious expression, "Don't worry, leave this to me."
After he finished, he slowly walked to the middle of the bushes, pulled up his pants, and came out of the bushes.
When the other guards saw him come out, they all curiously went up to ask him questions.
"What's going on? Has the boss come back?"
Old Liu glanced around instinctively, then walked over to his brothers and whispered.
"Don't ask why. I'll take a few prisoners into the bushes first. Once I'm inside, you all follow me."
Although the others did not understand the purpose of Lao Liu's actions, they still nodded in agreement.
“You guys come with me. We’ve found some wild rabbits in the bushes. Come help us.”
Upon hearing about wild rabbits, Zhu Borong instantly became alert and stood up excitedly, "Sir, I'll go!"
"Alright! You guys come over here." Old Liu glanced at Zhu Borong and waved for him and the other prisoners to follow.
"Master, be careful." Wen Xiuying was worried that Zhu Borong would not come back after leaving, so she subconsciously tugged at his sleeve.
Zhu Borong patted Wen Xiuying's hand and nodded to her, "Don't worry, wait for my good news."
After saying that, he quickly followed the guards toward the bushes.
However, Zhu Yanyan, who was hiding on the other side, realized the envoy's purpose. Her face hardened, and she left after Lao Liu and Zhu Borong entered the bushes.
She immediately raised her hand and gave the order to the bushes, "Listen up, everyone, fire at the bushes ahead!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the officers hiding nearby all fired wildly at the direction where Chen Xiang and the others were hiding.
This scene was witnessed by Xixi. The image showed countless arrows shooting towards the direction where her uncle was hiding.
"Oh no, Uncle!"
The scene before her eyes terrified her, turning her face deathly pale. She covered her mouth and screamed.
No, Xixi has to save her uncles!
She turned around anxiously and helplessly to the shelf, looking for a tool she could use.
But apart from everyday items, there wasn't a single tool for fighting on the shelves in front of them.
Xi Xi stared at what was in front of her, her mind blank, her ears filled with the screams coming from the screen.
The people hiding in the bushes all came out after the arrows were shot and fled in panic in all directions.
Upon seeing this, Zhu Chenfeng and Zhu Haotian quickly lit the gunpowder tubes in their hands and fired wildly in the direction the arrows were launched.
It was so dark that the two men had no idea where the officials were hiding, and their random shooting only set the forest ablaze.
Before long, the forest burst into flames, and the raging fire engulfed the group.
Zhu Yanyan stood not far from the woods, quite satisfied with the fire that had broken out there; it was exactly as she had imagined.
Why would these idiots fire gunpowder into the bushes? Aren't they just asking for trouble?
As the fire grew larger, everyone wandered aimlessly through the woods like headless flies.
The group not only had to dodge arrows that seemed to come from nowhere, but also the raging fire that was closing in on them.
As the screams on screen increased, Xixi anxiously paced around the space.
Suddenly, Xixi's attention was drawn to the well in the county government office in the scene, and she quickly crossed the screen to reach the well.
She stretched her little hand toward the well, intending to collect all the water in the well into her bracelet.
Seeing that the water in the well was rapidly drying up, she quickly returned to her spatial dimension.
Arriving at the forest where his uncle was, he gritted his teeth, flew out of the scene, and floated in the air as he opened the bracelet and sprinkled well water onto the fire.
"It's raining! It's raining, we're saved!"
Zhu Haotian looked up in surprise at the torrential rain pouring down from the sky and shouted excitedly at Chen Xiang.
"Lord Chen, these arrows are being shot from the bushes ahead. Let's take advantage of the heavy rain and go forward."
Chen Xiang wiped the rain off his face, followed Zhu Haotian's finger, and nodded firmly.
"Alright, brothers, let's go!"
At a command, the guards scattered in all directions all grabbed their broadswords and rushed into the bushes.
The scene was in complete chaos, and the officials couldn't see anything clearly due to the heavy rain.
Just as they were wiping away the rain, Chen Xiang and his men arrived in front of them.
In a short while, Chen Xiang led his men to eliminate all the government officials who were lurking nearby.
Just then, a horrifying scream rang out from the woods.
"Ah... my husband..."
