Wu Ling led a man with a full beard up the stairs, and behind him followed a group of men carrying knives!

"I advise you to let go of our boss!"

"We have hundreds of brothers behind us!"

"Your kung fu is good, but how can you guarantee you can escape from being surrounded by so many people!"

Wu Ling simply walked away silently, without saying a word!

The leader then asked, "Young man, where did you come from? Who sent you? What do you want from me, young man?"

"I don't know what benefits they gave you, why don't you come with me! You're so skilled, if you come with me, I'll make you the third-in-command, and you'll definitely live a life of luxury!"

"I have hundreds of brothers under my command, which is definitely stronger than you fighting alone!"

"In such chaotic times, it's still best to stick together!"

Wu Ling remained silent!

He looked at the dozens of people below with great vigilance!

All he wants now is to get this leader into the clan as soon as possible!

As soon as he went up there, he heard the sounds of fighting coming from above!

When he turned around, he saw that his clan leader had also succeeded!

Lin Ru also saw Wu Ling!

She finally breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed that the power of the conversation was destined to be in her hands!

She also had to thank Tao Xiangya, because it was she who diverted these people's attention, allowing Wu Ling to successfully go down and directly bring their leader back up!

Gao Du, Zhang Tiedan, and their leader looked at each other in bewilderment!

They couldn't help but lament inwardly, why did they have to drink that meal at noon? Why couldn't they have gotten up earlier? If they hadn't missed Liuwanzi, they wouldn't have been able to climb this hill!

You absolutely cannot encounter this group of scoundrels!

Gao Du and Zhang Tiedan were speechless!

They started arguing again!

"Zhang Tiedan! It's all your fault! Why did you have to drink at noon! I told you not to drink, not to drink! Look, you overslept and caused all this trouble!"

"Gao Du! Now you know you're blaming me? You drank the most at lunch! The second-in-command tried to persuade you so many times, but you wouldn't listen. You almost got beaten up by the second-in-command!"

"If the boss hadn't stopped you, you might have gotten into all sorts of trouble!"

"Zhang Tiedan! Do you want a beating?"

"How could I possibly hit the second-in-command? He's not fully recovered yet! He's the person I respect the most!"

"I think you're the one who deserves a beating!"

As the two men talked, their feet started to move, and they began kicking each other, ignoring the daggers around their necks!

Finally, Lin Ru started to get annoyed by their noise!

She took out two poison pills from her bosom, fed one to each of them, and then dislocated their jaws!

Finally, they handed the person over to Wu Fei and Wu Juan!

She walked up to the leader and punched him in the stomach!

"Speak! What exactly are you here for today?"

"Those two are really giving me a hard time, so don't push my limits!"

"Quickly and honestly tell me everything you know, or I'll kill you!"

The boss didn't expect that this seemingly weak girl would have such a strong grip, and she beat him so badly that he couldn't breathe!

It hurts so much!

Before he could even speak, the little girl threw another punch!

"Speak up!"

“I heard everything you were saying down there, about officers and soldiers, and who you were trying to save!”

"Which unit are these soldiers from?"

"Where are you bandits from?"

"How many people haven't arrived yet?"

"Speak up!"

The leader wanted to say something, but those two punches knocked out his throat!

He was in so much pain that he couldn't say a word. The girl used a sharp, precise punch, and her hand contained internal energy. The internal energy contained in that punch went straight into his lungs!

Just as Lin Ru was about to throw a third punch!

Suddenly another voice came from behind!

"Heroine! Show mercy!"

Lin Ru frowned but didn't turn around to look!

I actually saw a very familiar face!

She didn't even care about hitting anyone anymore!

The closer she got, the more surprised she became!

The people on the other side were also very surprised, not expecting to see Lin Ru here!

When the bandits saw Lin Ru coming, they all stood in front of him with great vigilance!

"Halt! What do you think you're doing to our second-in-command, you vixen?"

Lin Ru stopped in her tracks, looking quite surprised, and said, "Ji Wenxuan! When did you become the second-in-command of this mountain stronghold?"

"You still recognize me, don't you?"

"I am Lin Ru!"

"What exactly happened to you? Is Madam Ji alright?"

Ji Wenxuan was also very surprised!

"Lin Ru! I don't remember you! You saved my mother!"

"The story of the second-in-command is a long one, but why are you only getting here now? Didn't you leave Huiwu County a long time ago?"

"When you later went to Rongnian County, did you take my letter of recommendation to the county government office?"

Lin Ru nodded.

"I've gone! It's a long story for me!"

"Are you now with these bandits?"

"Who exactly are you trying to save?"

Ji Wenxuan sighed deeply and bowed deeply to Lin Ru.

"Miss Lin! I wonder what my brother and his men did to offend you? I hope you'll be magnanimous and let them go!"

"Don't worry, I guarantee they are good people. We are rescuing a group of people who were forcibly conscripted into the army. There is a place called Shanping County down here!"

"Their governor was afraid that the army of Prince Shun would come and slaughter them, so he captured many local people and made them come to replace the soldiers and rush to the front to die!"

"This way, they can preserve their strength and have a reason to go to the capital to seek refuge with the Marquis of Zhenxi!"

"I have been filled with guilt for not being able to defend Huiwu County, and all I wanted to do was rescue these people!"

"Let them not die in such an inexplicable way!"

"Moreover, those who are arrested will have their relatives killed if they refuse to comply; the methods are extremely cruel!"

"He is even worse than Prince Shun!"

"Many of them are neighbors and relatives of this group of people from the mountain stronghold! We must save them!"

"Don't worry, regardless of success or failure, we will absolutely not implicate you!"

"Those soldiers are coming soon. Release them all, and we'll move forward a bit and ambush them from there. That way, you won't get caught in the crossfire!"

Lin Ru looked at the man in front of her, whose face was full of vicissitudes and who was no longer as spirited as before!

She not only had the jade pendant given to her by Madam Ji, but also the letters written by Ji Wenxuan. Their reunion can only be described as fate!

However, judging from Ji Wenxuan's avoidance of talking about Madam Ji, it seems that something must have happened!

So she made up her mind and asked, "What do you plan to do? How many men do you have?"

How many people are on the other side?

Where are they now?

Upon hearing Lin Ru's words, Ji Wenxuan understood the meaning behind them, and his eyes immediately lit up!
