He couldn't do it himself, so he bribed these mountain bandits to do it for him.

The burly man with the bushy beard readily agreed.

There were only twenty-odd people, but his hundreds of brothers could chop them into mincemeat with a single knife each!

Before A-Yi could say anything more, the burly man with the bushy beard roared roughly:

"Brothers, let's do it! Kill the men, keep the money, and take the women back to be our wives!"

The burly man naturally saw Diao Chan wearing a veil.

Judging from her graceful figure, she must be a beautiful woman.

The burly man was immediately overcome with lust.

Guo Luo realized that these thieves weren't after money at all; they clearly intended to murder for their wealth!

He immediately gave a shout, ordering all the guards to draw their knives and form a circle.

Xiao Guizi had never seen such a scene before. His face turned pale, and he stood behind the guards, filled with fear and unease.

Liu Wei also held Diao Chan's hand tightly.

Liu Wei could feel her hands trembling and her palms sweating.

Twenty li ahead is the county seat of Jiangxian, and ten li behind is Jiguan Pass.

This road is also a major thoroughfare with many pedestrians coming and going.

They actually dared to rob people on this road.

These bandits are incredibly audacious!

Moreover, Liu Wei's bodyguards, including Guo Luo, were no pushovers either; they were all veterans who had retired from the battlefield.

The fighting power of more than twenty people should not be underestimated.

If any thieves dare to rush over, they will surely be left dead on the spot.

They wouldn't even need to hold out for an hour; the officials on both sides would hear the commotion and rush over, and the thieves would scatter like birds and beasts.

Therefore, Liu Wei remained calm and composed, gently patting Diao Chan's shoulder and comforting her:

"Don't be afraid, Guard Guo is here!"

"Let's see how Guard Guo kills the enemy!"
