Immediately following, a group of robbers charged in with a whoosh.
Qiu Yan lifted the carriage curtain and glanced inside. She then heard the leader of the bandits burst into laughter, "Today, we've found a fat sheep. Unexpectedly, there's also a beauty among them."
He squinted at the carriage, looking down at Ling Qi and Ling Ba with an arrogant air.
"Leave the carriage and the two beauties, and I'll let you go; otherwise..."
After saying that, he looked at the broadsword in his hand again, "Leave your life behind!"
Qin Susu frowned. "Your lives are spared? What a pity, you've run into us."
Who gave them the audacity to be so presumptuous?
Alas, this journey is destined to be turbulent.
She didn't feel so cold anymore.
She threw back the covers, ready to go out and teach those robbers a lesson, but Qiu Yan grabbed her elbow.
"Stay put." Doesn't he know his old injury hasn't healed yet?
Qiu Yan didn't want to cause herself any trouble.
"Oh." Qin Susu smiled awkwardly, "I'll listen to you."
Qiu Yan turned her face away; she didn't want to see Qin Susu, that idiot, at all.
Ling Qi sneered and drew his long sword from his waist in a flash. "Get out of the way!"
He wouldn't take a bunch of small fry seriously.
"Get out of the way?" The burly man laughed wildly. Instead of retreating, he slashed at Ling Qi's face with his blade.
"Ask my big sword, and see if it agrees."
His words were arrogant.
However, as soon as he got close, Ling Qi lashed him with a whip, sending him sprawling to the ground.
He immediately started crying and screaming for his parents.
"Ouch, that hurts so much! Damn it, you've got some nerve, daring to hit your grandpa! You lot, get him!"
He scrambled to his feet, brandishing his longsword once more, and charged towards Ling Qi.
But this time, before he could even get close, Ling Qi whipped him away again, sending him flying a great distance.
Two bloody welts were left on his front, and he groaned in pain, "Ouch, it hurts so much! You're dead meat!"
At the same moment, the remaining robbers all raised their knives and aimed them at Ling Ba...
Swish swish swish,,,
Thump thump thump...
Before the burly men could even make a move, their bodies were already flying backward.
Ling Ba withdrew his stance.
"Ling Qi, let's go!"
It's better to avoid trouble.
Ling Qi nodded and led the way, while Ling Ba flicked his whip and drove the carriage away.
Qiu Yan thought to herself, "It feels so good to have someone protecting me and not have to lift a finger."
Qin Susu: "Why did you leave? You haven't reported it to the authorities yet?" These people should be brought to justice.
"Report to the authorities, shall you go?" Ling Ba said casually, making Qin Susu awkwardly shut her mouth.
"I'm not going," Qin Susu said in a low voice.
In this remote border region, bandits roamed freely, and even the local county magistrate couldn't keep up with the situation.
Who knows, officials and bandits might be in cahoots.
"Stop! Stop right there!"
Behind them, the robbers were furious and could only curse and swear, but they couldn't catch up.
Qin Susu lifted the back curtain, glanced at the disheveled bandits, and couldn't help but sigh, "This place is much more chaotic than the Ganzhou border."
Originally, she thought that Ganzhou was already chaotic enough.
She once passed through Ganzhou City and, although she escaped being robbed, she encountered many refugees.
"A carriage, a carriage..." Just then, an old voice rang out from the roadside.
Immediately afterward, a group of refugees rushed towards them from a distance.
Then, whoosh whoosh whoosh,
More than a hundred impoverished people blocked the way in front of the carriage.
They bowed and knelt on the ground, pleading with Ling Qi and Ling Ba:
"Young masters, please have mercy and give us some food..."
"Please, give us some food, we're starving..."
