Steward Li was also afraid that something might happen to Zhao Wu, so he patted the horse's rump to make it run.

The road was uneven, and the carriage sped up, making Mu Yi'an and Aunt Fang, who were sitting in the carriage, jolt quite a bit. The two gritted their teeth and endured it without making a sound.

Once in town, Steward Li drove the carriage straight to the county government office.

"Hoo..."

Tighten the reins and bring the carriage to a stop.

"Officers, we've been robbed four miles outside the city gate. Please come and save us."

"Butler Li, what are you doing here? Where is your wife?"

Brother Mu Er happened to be coming out of the county government office when he saw Steward Li and was quite surprised.

“Uncle, we encountered robbers on our way back. Zhao Wu got out of the carriage and held off the thieves, while I drove the carriage with my wife into the city.”

"Second brother, please go and meet Zhao Wu. I'm afraid something might happen to him."

Mu Yi'an lifted the curtain, saw her second brother, and pleaded.

"Alright, I'll take some men over now. You can go home first, and I'll have Butler Li come over later."

Mu Erge didn't want his younger sister to be talked about, so he told her to go home quickly.

“Madam, let’s go home first. Zhao Wu will be fine.”

Fang's wife knew the importance and urgency of the matter, and she couldn't let her wife be gossiped about.

"I know, Butler Li, let's go back first."

Although worried about Zhao Wu, Mu Yi'an did not act recklessly, as a woman's reputation was of utmost importance in this era.

Brother Mu gathered his men and rode off towards the outskirts of the city.

By this time, Zhao Wu had already subdued the four men and tied them up with straw ropes.

All four men were injured, their faces bruised and swollen. Zhao Wu himself had been cut by a sickle, and his sleeve was torn, but he was not injured anywhere else.

When Brother Mu arrived, he saw four people tied together on the ground, looking very disheveled.

An Jia's coachman is quite skilled. He managed to subdue all four of these men by himself. Impressive.

"Uncle, this man is yours."

"Okay, you should go back now. Are you hurt?"

"It's okay, I'm going back."

Zhao Wu didn't want to say more, so he turned around and walked towards the county town, leaving behind Brother Mu, a group of constables, and four burly men groaning on the ground.
