Seeing that her appearance was exposed, the woman in black looked cold.
He scratched his neck hard with one hand, and several blood marks instantly covered the red spots on his skin, using the pain to relieve the itchiness.
With his other hand, he threw the short blade in his hand towards the tree canopy.
The woman was very strong, and this time she threw the powder exactly at the direction where Wei Yunlan had just thrown it.
Huang Yuling was so frightened that she quickly turned back to see if Wei Yunlan was okay.
Taking advantage of this gap, the woman quickly retreated to the side of the muscular man, muttering something that Huang Yuling and Wei Yunlan could not understand, and then the two of them ran up the mountain together.
"Where are you running to!"
Huang Yuling reacted and threw the spear in her hand at the woman's back.
On the tree, Wei Yunlan narrowly avoided the short blade and slid down the tree along the trunk. He grabbed a coin bag full of copper coins from the space and threw them one by one in the direction where the man and woman in black were fleeing.
Perhaps because the situation was urgent, my accuracy was much better than yesterday.
Dozens of copper coins thrown in succession all hit them.
Although it couldn't cause any real injuries, it could constantly disrupt their steps, making it easier for Huang Yuling to find their flaws.
As expected, the man staggered, and Huang Yuling chased after him waving a spear and successfully stopped him.
The woman in black saw this and was about to run away when she heard the sound of horse hooves in the woods again.
Then with a "whoosh" sound, a long whip lashed over, just blocking the woman's way away.
It was Tu You, who had arrived with two other young ladies from military families!
The three of them were cracking whips and swinging swords, and with the help of Huang Yuling, who was holding a spear and looking aggressive, and Wei Yunlan, who kept throwing things to interfere, they managed to stop the man and woman in black.
"Why did you come here by yourself?" Wei Yunlan asked.
"It will take some time to dispatch the forest guards. I was afraid that you and Huang wouldn't be able to hold on, so I brought people here first!"
As Tu You spoke, he kicked the burly man who was trying to get up from the ground, and tightened the whip around his arms.
Although it was a bit reckless, it was thanks to their timely arrival that they were able to subdue the couple so quickly.
Of course, Wei Yunlan's medicinal powder also played a key role. If their performance had not been affected by the medicinal powder, none of them would have been able to escape.
Just as Huang Yuling and Wei Yunlan untied the ropes on the horses' backs and tied the couple's hands tightly behind their backs, a team of forest guards finally arrived.
Seeing two people tied up on the ground, one of whom was unusually tall and obviously not from the interior, the leading guard captain panicked and said, "Hurry up and report! There are barbarians sneaking into the forest farm!"
After sending his subordinates back to report, he hurried forward and looked at the people present carefully, "This place is quite far from the forest farm that was recently mined. I led people here as soon as I got the news, but I didn't expect to arrive a little late."
"Are any of the ladies injured?"
Seeing the northern ladies shaking their heads and saying "no one was hurt", the captain of the guard team breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I will escort the ladies out of the forest first. Let others take care of the aftermath here."
There was a hint of worry between his brows, and a hint of flattery. It looked as if he was really worried about the safety of everyone present, and wanted to quickly get them out of this place of trouble.
Wei Yunlan glanced at them calmly and asked softly, "Where are they usually handed over to when they capture Northern Barbarian spies?"
"Of course, I'll hand him over to the Military Intelligence Department of the Northern Army for severe interrogation." Huang Yuling answered as if it was a matter of course.
After saying that, he suddenly realized what was going on, frowned and said, "This is very strange. Leave the people here first, and don't move anyone. Wait for the people from the Military Intelligence Department to come and pick them up first!"
The forest guards were not even officially part of the Northern Army, let alone the qualifications to interrogate or detain Northern Barbarian spies.
Seeing that Huang Yuling and others had already made a decision, he had no choice but to quietly step aside, protect everyone, and wait for the Northern Army to send people over.
Such a big commotion in the forest naturally attracted the young ladies who were waiting outside, and they almost arrived behind the forest guards.
The originally quiet hillside suddenly became crowded and lively.
Liang Qiuyi's maid, who had been waiting beside the carriage, also followed everyone into the forest.
Just as he stepped forward to support his master, he saw two people on the other side who were surrounded by people and were under close surveillance.
When he caught a glimpse of the woman's appearance, he exclaimed, "Chun Yan?"
"Miss, why is Chunyan tied here?"
Liang Qiuyi, who was trying her best to reduce her existence and hope that others would not remember her, was too late to stop him when she heard the words.
In an instant, several eyes fell on her.
"Yes, Miss Liang, we also want to know why your maid Chunyan is here?"
"How should I know..." Liang Qiuyi shrank his shoulders and his eyes fell on the ground in front of his toes.
However, it doesn't mean that no one asked because she avoided the question.
Seeing Liang Qiuyi standing sideways, deliberately avoiding his gaze, Wei Yunlan stepped forward and asked, "Then how did you know that there were northern barbarians on the mountain?"
Before Liang Qiuyi could quibble, without giving her a chance to speak, he continued, "Don't deny it. When I found you earlier on the way to look for Miss Huang, you told me yourself that there were barbarians on the mountain."
Liang Qiuyi's lips moved.
She wanted to argue that she had never said this, but looking at the expressions of the others around her, it was clear that they believed what Wei Yunlan said.
It's impossible to fool around anymore.
Liang Qiuyi frowned, the corners of his mouth shrunk, he sighed deeply, and explained: "I know there are barbarians on the mountain because I encountered them in the woods just now. In order to protect me, Chunyan took the initiative to go forward and was abducted by the barbarians..."
"As for why she changed into this outfit and mixed with the barbarians, I don't know either, and I don't know why the barbarians appeared here!"
Pointing at the bound Chunyan, he said, "Chunyan, tell me what happened. How did you end up with the barbarians and know Kung Fu? Didn't you say that both your parents died and you were sold into slavery since you were a child?"
"Chunyan" lowered her head and said nothing.
The same was true of the burly man kneeling on the ground next to her.
Liang Qiuyi's words just now sounded very confident, and at the end her tone still carried a hint of grievance after being misunderstood.
Looking around at the expressions of the people around him, he bit his lip and said, "Don't look at me like that. I'm also a victim, okay? If it weren't for them, how could I be left alone in the woods!"
It would have been better if she hadn't said that.
As soon as they mentioned this, everyone's eyes became even more suspicious.
"Yes, Miss Liang, how did you get into the forest farm?"
