There are consequences to being a traitorous official.
First: Being born into a loyal official's family. She felt out of place and uncomfortable all over.
Second: Following her loya...
Before Jiulang and Xiaoba could even feel scared, they were in Lao Hei and the others' arms.
Old Hei held Twelve in one arm and took out a hidden weapon with the other.
Sun Xingyao and his men were more experienced than the Yun family. As soon as the bandits appeared, Sun Xingyao and his men started to grab weapons (farm tools), urging those around them to do the same to protect themselves and their families.
Although Gao Pengcheng and his men had never encountered anything like this before, they had knives and were escorts, so they were more composed than the Yun family.
After realizing what was happening, Grandpa Yun immediately began giving orders. "Don't panic! Don't panic! Eldest son, you take the adult men and hold them off outside! Eldest daughter-in-law, you take the adult women and assist the eldest son and the others. Yao'er, Ruibo, you protect your younger siblings first. Don't panic! Don't panic! Panic will ruin everything!"
The Yun family and Sun Xingyao calmed down a bit after hearing what Old Master Yun said.
Yun Yuqi looked over at Sisi.
Sisi gave him a smiley face.
Yun Yuqi: "..." This little rascal isn't planning to stand by and do nothing, is he?
He had barely finished thinking when the bandits rushed over!
"I want that girl in the pink dress, don't you dare try to take her from me!"
"I want the one in the purple clothes!"
"Shut up! Whoever gets it keeps it!"
...
In the blink of an eye, the two groups were fighting.
The Yun family and Gao Pengcheng were having a very hard time dealing with it.
Fortunately, Lao Hei's men would occasionally help them fend off a few blows.
Otherwise, some of them would really die.
Wang Sihan and Xu Muyu were in a better situation than the others; they knew a little about martial arts and were accompanied by several guards when they went out.
Upon seeing the bandits, they immediately went to find their sister and nephew/niece. However, they discovered that each of their siblings was accompanied by others. While these others didn't kill the bandits outright, they managed to stop them whenever the bandits were about to capture their sister and nephew/niece.
Wang Sihan had his guards escort him to Xu Muyu's side. "Muyu, have you noticed that something's not right?"
Xu Muyu also noticed. "I've figured it out. I guess Sixth Miss probably wants everyone to practice their skills."
"Practice?! Practice on bandits?!"
"Hmm. Look, don't Sixth Sister and Uncle Hei look like they're holding the fort?"
"Yes! Then...then let's not help?"
"We just need to take care of ourselves."
"All right."
A little over fifteen minutes later, the leader also realized that something was wrong.
It's so close, I could reach it with a simple stretch, and I could chop it down with a single stroke, but I just can't reach it, I just can't chop it down!
When the leader realized something was wrong, he tried to retreat, but before he could utter a single word, the hidden weapon in Lao Hei's hand flew out.
The leader died instantly.
A little over fifteen minutes later, the third leader, who had led his men down the mountain, also noticed. "Boss, boss, Qing..."
bump!
The third leader is also dead.
Now, the remaining bandits realized something was wrong. They tried to run away.
Unfortunately, they were free to come, but they couldn't leave.
In the blink of an eye, Lao Hei's men had subdued all the bandits.
Sisi walked over to Gao Pengcheng and asked with a smile, "Uncle Gao, how are you feeling?"
You seem like a little rascal! "It feels great. After practicing for over two months, I finally have a chance to practice."
"Yes. No matter how well you train, it's all for nothing if you panic when you encounter bandits. Uncle Gao, these bandits should all be registered with the government. Uncle Gao, let's take them to the government to collect the reward."
The bandits: "..." It turns out, they were the ones who were the easy prey.
Gao Pengcheng: "..." This job is really good!
Xu Muyu: "..." This girl really makes the most of everything!
A little while later, Gao Pengcheng and Sisi led more than a dozen men away, escorting the bandits away.
Grandpa Yun wanted to tell Sisi, "You're a little exile, you can't wander around." But...
That's enough!
He should check if the children were frightened and if the adults were injured.
Furthermore, he needs to make everyone reflect on what shortcomings they had this time and think about how to improve next time.
On the other side, the second-in-command, who was in charge of guarding the house, was drinking when suddenly another person appeared in the room.
The second-in-command was startled. "Who are you? How did you get in?"
"You don't need to know who I am. You just need to know that I'm here to take your life."
After saying that, the man rushed towards the second-in-command.
Fifteen minutes later, the second-in-command collapsed.
The man knelt down and checked the second-in-command's breathing. Once he confirmed the second-in-command wasn't breathing, he stood up.
After standing up, the newcomer took out a cloth from his person and wiped his sword while saying, "Fool, do you think our Zhao family's money is so easy to take? Would our Zhao family leave behind such incriminating evidence against you?"
After saying that, the person turned and left.
On the other side, Sisi and Gao Pengcheng took the person directly to the prefectural city.
When the soldiers at the city gate saw this, they asked them what was going on.
After finding out the details, the soldiers at the city gate immediately went to inform the prefect.
The prefect was delighted to hear this. "Have someone prepare a reward, and summon Sun Dazhuang over."
"yes."
Gao Pengcheng thought the prefect would delay in giving them the reward money. Unexpectedly, the prefect simply had someone look at their documents and then gave them the reward money.
Even after Gao Pengcheng left the yamen, he still couldn't believe it. "They gave it to us like that?"
Sisi raised her hand and pointed to the side. There were many soldiers standing there.
Gao Pengcheng looked in the direction Sisi was pointing.
After seeing it clearly, Gao Pengcheng understood.
