However, the next few shots didn't hit their chests, but their arms, legs, and waists. All six men in black were hit, but the black dog was quick-witted and pounced on them, firmly controlling them.
The man in black screamed in pain. At that moment, the villagers heard him and hurriedly dressed and ran over. Some carried torches, and others carried tools for working in the fields. At this time, Han Mingyuan's courtyard was as bright as day.
Han Mingyuan and Yunniang also came out. Seeing the disheveled man in black on the ground, and then looking at Han Yuchen, who stood tall and elegant with a bow and arrow in his hand and an indifferent expression, the two of them showed satisfied smiles.
Han Luoxue also came out of the room, her expression indifferent, and glanced at the man in black on the ground.
Han Qiang and his men came over with hemp rope, dragged the man out of the dogs' mouths, and tied him up tightly with the rope.
There's one who doesn't need to be tied up anymore; he's too badly injured—the one Han Yuchen shot in the chest.
"Chen boy, you need to take it easy."
Doctor Xu walked over slowly, took the woman's pulse, glanced at the arrow in her chest, and sighed, "Luckily it was slightly off-center, otherwise we could have just dragged her out and buried her."
The other men in black trembled with fear. They weren't sure if it was just their imagination, but they had a feeling that the man had done it on purpose. Otherwise, how could his arrows be so accurate? He never missed a shot.
"Tell me the truth, who sent you?"
Han Yuchen asked coldly.
However, the group still maintained a degree of professionalism, keeping their lips tightly pressed together and not uttering a single word.
Han Yuchen kicked the group of men twice, and the men in black couldn't help but cry out in pain.
"Snow Girl, when I came over just now, I think I saw a carriage running out of the window."
An uncle who lived near the village entrance was also nearby, but he wasn't sure.
"At first I thought it was my imagination, but now that I think about it, I might be in cahoots with these people."
"carriage?"
Han Luoxue raised an eyebrow and patted the black dog beside her: "Wangcai, go and bring them back."
These black dogs could understand Han Luoxue's words. They turned their heads and ran away.
In the blink of an eye, the black dogs disappeared without a trace.
The men in black on the ground looked anxiously outside.
"It's alright if you don't tell me. I believe your colleagues will be back soon."
The fighting prowess of those black dogs was evident to everyone. One of the more timid among them asked timidly, "If I tell you, will you let us go?"
Han Luoxue shook her head: "Even if you don't tell me, I can still find the mastermind behind this. What do you think?"
The man in black was almost in tears: "What difference does it make whether we talk or not?"
"I told you I'd tell Wangcai and the others to be gentler!"
"By the way, the leader of those black dogs just now was Wangcai."
Han Luoxue kindly explained, and Han Luoyu, with her big, watery eyes, also looked kind: "Do you know what happened to the guy who was taught a lesson by Wangcai and the others last time? He was covered in sore flesh that he died a few days after returning home."
The men in black flinched in fright. Their bodies were covered in wounds, all inflicted by dogs; the thought alone was chilling.
The one who had just spoken was so frightened that he kowtowed repeatedly: "We are guards of the Chi family, and our young lady brought us here."
The Chi family? Han Luoxue didn't recognize the name, but Han Yuchen looked thoughtful.
Do I know your young lady?
"Ahem, Xue'er, the owner of Sixiu Pavilion is surnamed Chi."
Han Yuchen kindly reminded her. Han Luoxue then remembered the embroidery shop in the capital, where reservations used to need to be made six months in advance.
She bought a lot of embroidery products at a low price using grain, which almost cleared out their inventory.
She admitted that the price she offered wasn't high, but in any transaction, both parties need to be willing to buy and sell for a deal to be made. She hadn't forced them anything, so why would this young lady from the Silk Pavilion hate her?
If it were truly because of the last transaction, Han Luoxue would despise that Miss Chi.
Regardless of the original price, the Chi family was already starving. I stepped in to help them buy the goods, shouldn't they be grateful? If they didn't want to sell, they didn't have to. After selling, they sent people to kill me. Is the Chi family's young lady out of her mind?
"That Chi family is really something else!"
Han Luoxue curled her lip in disdain, and the man in black nodded repeatedly: "Miss Han, we had no choice. She forced us to take action."
Han Luoxue nodded, but did not say she forgave her.
"Miss Han, can you let us go? We were really forced into this. Our indentures are in the hands of the Chi family. We dare not disobey Miss Chi's orders."
"By the way, Miss Chi said that she only wanted to leave Miss Han alive, and that we should kill everyone else."
The man in black was terrified and told him everything he knew.
"There was another young girl who came with us, I think her name is Yu Xiaoxiao."
Upon hearing Yu Xiaoxiao's familiar name, Han Luoxue smiled.
It's actually someone I know. Isn't this Crown Princess Mengyao's little follower?
Han Luoxue hadn't paid much attention to Mengyao before, as their statuses were worlds apart and they were destined to have no interaction.
However, after learning Han Yuchen's identity, she realized he was her ex-fiancée. Giving up such a good man like Han Yuchen to choose that trash, the Crown Prince, this woman truly has no taste.
What is the Crown Prince? His repeated actions are truly speechless.
Now that Yu Xiaoxiao has come over with Chi Qingqing, it's obvious that she must have some connection with the Crown Princess.
Why send so many people to cause trouble for me, and then say you'll only leave her alive?
Mengyao, this woman is really bold, ruthless and vicious.
Han Luoxue's eyes turned cold, and she waited silently.
Sure enough, we could hear Wangcai and the others calling from afar.
When they first heard the dog barking, Chi Qingqing and Yu Xiaoxiao weren't sure if the man in black had made a mistake.
It didn't matter if she alerted people, since she brought enough people. Her men were all skilled; one of them could easily take on ten villagers.
So the two didn't leave immediately. It wasn't until they heard many people getting up and heading towards that courtyard that they became frightened. Chi Qingqing felt extremely uneasy and quickly ordered, "Let's go, let's go back first!"
This isn't their territory after all, and if they were caught by these savage villagers, no one could guarantee what would happen.
The fact that those people haven't arrived yet means things aren't going well.
The coachman didn't dare to delay upon hearing this, and cracked his whip rapidly. However, before they had gone far, several black dogs rushed over like arrows.
It barked a few times, its fierce eyes blocking the front of the carriage.
