Chapter 77 was successfully captured, and the government's reinforcements have arrived.

Lin Luoxi specifically targeted the scarred man's injured thigh. Taking advantage of the moment when the scarred man was putting all his weight on his left leg and was slightly off balance, she kicked him in the wound.

Her movement caused the broken arrow to penetrate even deeper into the scarred man's thigh, piercing right through to the back of his leg.

The scarred man was in so much pain that he immediately abandoned his armor and let out a miserable scream.

Taking advantage of his pain, Lin Luoxi added a few more kicks while the scarred man was already in too much pain to fight back, rendering him completely unable to fight and leaving him limp on the ground.

The surrounding bandits trembled in fright, forgetting that they were still fighting Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan, and quickly looked in the direction of their leader.

Seeing so many of their leaders, Lin Luoxi felt a chill run down her spine.

But for the sake of their leader, they raised their weapons, ready to strike Lin Luoxi again.

"Whoosh..." The movement was a bit too slow, and several sharp arrows shot out at that moment, shooting down all the remaining bandits.

"Quickly tie them all up." Xie Hanchuan took out a bundle of rope from his basket and swiftly tied up the bandits in front of him one by one, piling them together.

Lin Luoxi saw this and took out the rope from her basket, starting to string the bandits lying on the ground together like grasshoppers.

After the two men had tied up all twenty-five bandits, they were exhausted and collapsed on the ground, covered in sweat.

By this time, darkness had begun to fall, and the moon had peeked out, quietly using its moonlight to chase away the last traces of the evening glow.

"My lord, my lord, my second sister and brother Hanchuan are just ahead. Please help us speed up!" Lin Wenqian's anxious, tearful voice came from the direction of the county town.

As the sound drew closer, the torchlight illuminated half the sky.

"Brother, are you really going to see the magistrate?" Lin Luoxi smiled when she heard this voice.

"It seems so." Xie Hanchuan looked at the rows of torches running towards them, and it seemed quite a few people were coming.

"It seems my brother is quite capable when it comes to getting help." With the danger over, Lin Luoxi was in a good mood to joke.

"Well, I must say, your older brother is quite reliable." Xie Hanchuan couldn't help but admire Lin Wenqian's abilities.

"Sister, sister..." Lin Wenqian, who had already seen Lin Luoxi's figure, stood up from beside a carriage driver and waved vigorously in Lin Luoxi's direction, even though he couldn't see where Lin Luoxi was.

As the carriage drew nearer, Lin Wenqian saw Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan sitting on the ground and assumed they were injured. Before the carriage had even come to a complete stop, Lin Wenqian jumped down, carrying a lantern, and ran towards Lin Luoxi.

Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan looked over and saw that the support team Lin Wenqian had invited this time was quite large.

The man riding a tall horse and dressed in official robes who is running ahead must be the local magistrate. He is surrounded by many yamen runners and officials protecting him.

Most importantly, two luxurious carriages were also following the procession. The light of luminous pearls could be faintly seen emanating from inside the carriages, indicating that some important figures must have been inside. It was rumored that bandits had also come along.

It is clear how serious it was that bandits appeared in this area.

"Sister, are you alright?" Lin Wenqian ran over and, under the candlelight of the lantern, saw that Lin Luoxi only had spots of blood on her body. He breathed a sigh of relief, but still carefully examined Lin Luoxi's entire body.

“Brother, it’s alright, this is all their blood,” Lin Luoxi said, pointing to the bandits she and Xie Hanchuan had piled up like a human pyramid.

"These two must be the heroes who took down this group of bandits!"

The man riding a tall horse arrived at the place where Lin Luoxi, Xie Hanchuan, and the bandits were fighting.

He was shocked to see more than twenty men strung together on a rope and piled up like a small mountain under the torchlight. When they saw the men arrive, their eyes lit up with a plea for help. He felt it was a fantasy.

They were handling official business at home when they heard that someone had come to report to the authorities that bandits had come out to kill people. Terrified, he quickly dropped what he was doing and called out everyone alive in the yamen.

Before he arrived, despite the young man's urging, he had already mentally prepared himself for the possibility that no one would be killed by the bandits.

But who can tell him what's going on with the scene before him?

It's said that bandits are all desperate criminals, ruthless killers, so how come they were beaten up like this by these two young men and women here?

If his advisor hadn't recognized those bandits as the ones listed in the bounty notice, he would have thought the two young men were the bandits.

Realizing how skilled these two were, I quickly went over to greet them.

"Hehe, you're too kind, sir. We just happened to know a little bit of martial arts." Magistrate Lin Luoxi had already prepared her explanation as she approached.

"You two heroes are truly young and accomplished. May I ask where you are from?" The magistrate observed that the two men were humble and unassuming, and neither servile nor arrogant in their presence.

I'm very curious about where Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan are from. I want to know what kind of family they come from to raise such talented individuals.

"Replying to your question, sir, we are villagers from Wutong Village. My name is Lin Luoxi, and this is Xie Hanchuan. The one who went to request assistance was my brother." Lin Luoxi introduced their names frankly and generously.

"Good, you are all little heroes." The county magistrate glanced at the bound bandits again and praised them sincerely.

"Sir, if there's nothing else, may we leave now?" Because of the delay caused by the bandit robbery, it was now completely dark, and the surrounding scenery was pitch black.

"Of course, you can. Or, I can have a few of my men escort you back." The magistrate was very friendly as he looked at the three people in front of him.

After all, these three were the bandits on the wanted list whom he had captured, and they had helped him get rid of such a big problem, so he should definitely be polite to them.

"Sir, the officials have many things to attend to later, so we won't trouble you. We can get back on our own," Lin Luoxi said, knowing the magistrate's politeness.

"But the road is so dark..." The magistrate felt that the three people in front of him were no ordinary people and wanted to leave a good impression on them.

"It's alright, sir. With our skills, I doubt anyone would dare to come forward and invite trouble. We still need you here, so we won't linger any longer. Farewell." After saying this, Lin Luoxi turned around nimbly and left with Lin Wenqian and Xie Hanchuan.
