Li Qingyao and his three companions recognized the scoundrel at first glance.
These people have long been wanted by Daze Prefecture. They traveled all the way from Qingshui County, so they must have seen the portraits of these people.
Didn't they say they had captured Fenghe County? How come they're here?
Shocked as they were, the four of them began to gather their strength as they looked at each other.
If they could get away with it, they would pretend to be safe and make their escape.
There were only four of them, while the other side had more than ten people, all of whom were bloodthirsty and vicious. They were at a great disadvantage in terms of numbers.
Therefore, Li Qingduan pretended not to know anything and spoke to them in a way that was neither intimate nor cold, just casual small talk.
No sooner had he finished speaking than someone suddenly sprang up from behind and charged forward.
Bai Sha was the first to rush forward; his duty was to protect the young masters.
After more than a year of training, he is no longer the skinny boy who couldn't tell his age.
He ate and lived well at the Li family's house, and with his increased training, he underwent a complete transformation in just one year. He grew taller and developed muscles.
"Brother Yao."
In the blink of an eye, Li Qingduan only had time to whisper Li Qingyao's name.
Unlike the other three, Li Qingyao usually practices boxing only for exercise, and his movements are more elaborate and showy.
Li Qingyao didn't speak, but took a step back, holding the wooden stick in his hand in a defensive posture. At this moment, they were actually glad that they had each found a wooden stick to use as a walking stick because they were walking on a mountain path.
Everything happened very quickly.
Fa Cai's actions were unexpected for Bie San. He had originally planned to pretend to be an ordinary person and get away with it. Now that he had finally escaped, he wanted to avoid being exposed. These scions of wealthy families were even more troublesome.
If they go missing, their families will definitely send people to search for them, which will only make their situation worse.
But he had already charged forward, and there was nothing he could do but let him go. Damn it, this kid is a potential problem.
The others didn't rush forward; they all calmly sat down, waiting to see the scene of their heads bursting open. They were indeed feeling aggrieved; just two days ago they were all high and mighty, and now they were on the run.
These guys were clearly young masters from wealthy families; killing them would be a piece of cake for them. The group shared this consensus, so they didn't take Li Qingduan and his group seriously at all.
"What's going on?!"
No sooner said than done, Fa Cai charged at the four men, brandishing his wooden stick. He had no other skills, relying solely on his strength.
His movements were bold and sweeping, but in Bai Sha's eyes, they were full of mistakes.
In order to help him improve his skills as soon as possible, the young master even spent money to send him to a security escort agency for a period of time. Now is the time for him to show his skills.
Bai Sha gripped the wooden stick tightly, his gaze focused.
All the onlookers saw was that the boy first struck Fa Cai's leg hard with a wooden stick, then twisted his body to dodge the stick being swung at him, and then struck Fa Cai's back with another stick.
In the blink of an eye, Fa Cai had been slapped twice, and the onlookers stood up and began to silently block the escape route of the group.
"Are you even capable?!"
"You got beaten up by some kid, people will laugh at you if they find out."
"They're not going to need our help, are they?"
Boos rose up, and Fa Cai's face turned ugly. He was still aching from the two blows he had just received, and his eyes were extremely fierce as he looked at Bai Sha.
"Damn it, this kid's life is mine now!"
Having lost face in front of his own people, Fa Cai was even more furious, wishing he could beat the reckless young man in front of him to death immediately.
Why should they resist? They should just stay put and wait for him to come and reap the rewards!
"Go to hell!"
Fa Cai roared, panting heavily, and charged at Bai Sha again. Bai Sha remained focused, not losing his composure despite their words.
Li Qingduan and Li Qingyi also got into position, ready to step forward and help.
They dared not stand in front of Li Qingyao, for doing so would be blatantly exposing their weaknesses.
The two exchanged blows, and although Bai Sha was not as strong as Fa Cai and was sometimes accidentally swept away, Bai Sha always had the upper hand.
The more Butcher Zheng looked at the man, the more he felt that he had potential, so he had the scoundrel try to win him over.
"Hey! You're a slave too, right? Why are you working for people like them? Rich people are all bad, they all deserve to die!"
"If you join us, you'll live the high life!"
"So, if you agree, we'll stop immediately, and those three people are yours to deal with."
Hearing the scoundrel's words, Fa Cai trembled with rage, his eyes darkening with rage. His men moved with increasing speed and brutality. "Die!"
Bai Sha remained expressionless. What was the point? He would never betray the Li family.
His men became even more determined; they couldn't fight for too long, they had to find a way to escape.
Looking at Li Qingduan and the others, they saw that the three of them had slowly moved to the weakest point in the defense.
Having made up his mind, Bai Sha kicked Fa Cai hard in the leg bone, and Fa Cai fell to the ground, clutching his leg and howling in pain.
"run!"
The three of them swept through the encirclement, with Bai Sha close behind.
"Useless trash, don't let them get away! They'll expose our location!"
Butcher Zheng hurriedly pulled out his butcher knife and rushed after him.
They were watching the commotion, but then they turned around and ran away.
That won't do.
A group of people suddenly gave chase, deeply regretting that they hadn't tied up the three rich young men first.
The mountain road was not easy to run on, and before long the group was caught up. Li Qingduan and his men had no choice but to fight with all their might.
"Brother Yao, be careful."
"It's okay, don't worry about me. You all be careful."
He quickly gave a few instructions and then got into a fight with them.
Li Qingyao pulled a dagger from his pocket and concealed it in his hand. When traveling, it's essential to be well-equipped.
They were methodical and skillful. Apart from a few strong guys, the other opponents were all weaklings. Once the fight started, the three of them relaxed, and it looked like they had a chance.

"Qing Tong, won't we get scolded for running out like this?"
"If you're scared, go back by yourself."
"No, we're already here. Wherever you go, I'll go."
Tall and chubby Jinbao followed beside Li Qingtong as the two walked along a mountain path.
Previously, the family received a letter from Li Qingyao and his group, saying that they were preparing to disembark in Qingshui County and travel back by land.
As the days went by, he didn't return. Instead, news of a civil unrest in Qingshui County spread, causing his family great anxiety.
Not long after, something happened in Fenghe County as well. Hearing that the garrison had been mobilized, Li Qingtong couldn't sit still.
He secretly took his silver and ran away, with Jinbao following behind him.
Coincidentally, Li Qingtong was afraid that his family would find out he had run away and come after him, so he didn't dare to take the main road at all. Because Jinbao was with him, the two chose to take the mountain path.
