Chapter 26 Moving
The next day.
After resting for a night in the farmyard, Mo Ruyan's condition improved a lot.
After bidding farewell to the couple in the farmyard, everyone set out again heading north.
The beautiful woman looked around, returned to the courtyard and closed the door.
At this time, the bald man with a burly figure like an iron tower came out, stood behind the beautiful woman, and said in a rough voice: "We can't stay here any longer, we have to live somewhere else."
"Why are you leaving?" The beautiful woman was shocked and puzzled.
"Those people were covered in blood, and it was obvious that they had fought a bloody battle before coming here. It is basically certain that they were being chased. They did not take the official road, but took the small road. They were all from the Wuwang Mansion. The identities of the people in the carriage seemed to be not simple, but they did not enter the city to rest, but came to us. I guess the people chasing them may be the local government, so they had to stop here to rest."
Listening to the bald man's analysis, the beautiful woman's expression changed slightly.
Obviously she had realized something; their peaceful life had been disrupted by the arrival of so many people.
"If we hadn't taken them in for the night, wouldn't we have avoided all this trouble?"
The bald man put his arm around the beautiful woman's waist, with a hint of tenderness on his iron-blooded face, and said helplessly, "It's useless. Since they are here, we can't hide. Even if we didn't take them in last night, once someone follows their trail and finds us, we will inevitably be involved. When we are in the underworld, many things are inevitable. The best plan now is to move and find another place to settle down."
Although the beautiful woman was reluctant, she knew that what the other party said was right.
Even if they didn't take them in, someone would find out about them sooner or later.
Given their sensitive identities, it is not appropriate for them to deal with officers and soldiers.
They have always been indifferent to worldly affairs and would avoid officers and soldiers whenever possible.
"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have to live your life in hiding." The beautiful woman said with sadness in her tone.
"Don't say these words anymore. Marrying you is the greatest blessing in my life." The bald man shook his head and said firmly, "Okay, let's pack up and get ready to leave here."
"Yes." The beautiful woman nodded obediently.
Afterwards, they both packed up their things.
Mainly some gold, silver and other valuables.
If you don't have money, you can't take a single step in this world.
Suddenly, the bald man's expression froze. He keenly noticed that many people had come outside the courtyard.
Bang bang bang…
The gate of the courtyard was knocked roughly.
The rapid sound was more like banging on the door than knocking.
"Open the door! Open the door!"
The beautiful woman heard the noise and hurried over to open the door, shouting as she trotted, "I'm coming, stop knocking, are you trying to kill me?"
The beautiful woman took down the bolt and opened the gate of the courtyard. Immediately, she saw a group of soldiers appear outside, all of them holding swords and with ferocious looks on their faces.
Seeing this, the beautiful woman's face changed, and she turned pale with fear, but she still forced a smile: "My dear officials, what brought you here today?"
The leader looked up and down at the beautiful woman in front of him, who still had her charm, with a hint of surprise and greed in his eyes.
I didn't expect that there would be such a wonderful person in this remote place.
"We are doing our best to arrest the rebels and their accomplices. Have you seen anyone passing by here? Where did they go? Tell the truth. If you conceal anything or fail to report it, you will be punished for the same crime!"
"My husband and I have lived here for many years without worrying about worldly affairs, and have never done anything inappropriate. As for the rebels the official mentioned, I really don't know anything about them, but a group of people did stay here for a night last night, and they gave me five taels of silver as a reward."
"Where did they go?" the leading officer asked sternly.
"How would I know? They left early in the morning and left nothing behind. I dare not say anything, nor do I dare to ask. We are ordinary people who have always lived an honest and upright life. If you have nothing else to say, please go back."
The beautiful woman felt uncomfortable under the fiery and greedy gazes of the officers and soldiers. She shrank back involuntarily and immediately mustered up the courage to order them to leave.
"We suspect that you intend to protect the rebels and give them convenience. Let us go in and search them carefully."
However, the beautiful woman's words did not make the ferocious officers and soldiers retreat. Instead, they looked eager to try.
"My lords, no, no! Please be merciful and give us a chance to live." The beautiful woman begged bitterly.
Once she lets these soldiers who are like bandits into the house, there will be nothing valuable left in their house. Wouldn't that force them into a dead end?
"We are ordered to fight the thieves. It would be fine if you didn't cooperate with us, but you dared to stop us. Could you be an accomplice of the rebels? Come on, arrest her for me."
Faced with the beautiful woman's pleading, the captain of the army labeled her an accomplice of the traitor without hesitation and ordered his men to arrest her.
Looking at the other person's graceful figure, his heart was burning with excitement. He thought about having someone send her to his room and interrogate her thoroughly after returning.
However, what he didn't know was that it was this action of his that completely destroyed the only way for all of them to survive.
Two soldiers stepped forward and tried to capture the beautiful woman. Just as they saw those two pairs of dirty hands were about to fall on her delicate body, a kitchen knife suddenly flew out from the courtyard and accurately cut the throats of the two soldiers who were intending to attack the beautiful woman.
There is an expert!
In an instant, the officers and soldiers' faces changed drastically and they all looked towards the courtyard.
The bald man had a ferocious look on his face, and his sturdy body looked like a mountain when he stood there. The surging blood and energy in his body kept overflowing. With every step he took, the ground under his feet sank slightly, giving people an extremely terrifying feeling of oppression.
"If you touch her, you will die." The bald man said coldly.
"How dare you! You are shielding the rebels and their accomplices, resisting arrest, and killing officers and soldiers. These crimes are unforgivable!"
At this moment, the captain of the leading officers and soldiers had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem, and shouted sternly: "Humph, the laws of the dynasty do not allow scoundrels to challenge, don't think that you can ignore us just because you have some skills, this thief is vicious, come at me, whoever kills this man will be rewarded with 100 silver coins and a merit."
Upon hearing that there was a reward, the officers and soldiers took out their shiny knives and rushed to chop at the bald man. No one wanted to miss the opportunity to make a contribution.
The next moment, a terrifying air wave burst out from the bald man's body and swept across, instantly knocking all the officers and soldiers away. They fell to the ground, spitting blood.
After just one encounter, they were seriously injured.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the bald man stepped forward and protected his wife behind him, with a domineering aura emanating from his body.
Seeing this scene, everyone looked horrified and terrified.
"Master of Martial Arts?!"
