Judging from the noise, it doesn't seem like an ordinary assassin, but more like...
Mountain bandits?!
Gan Cao's face turned pale. He lifted the carriage curtain and reported to Ning Xi'er that bandits had attacked, numbering more than a hundred!
And they were all tall and strong, riding horses and wielding long swords. This time we're in big trouble!
Ning Xi'er immediately lifted the carriage curtain and saw that the bandits were already close by, only five or six zhang away. There was no time to tell the others...
"Mysterious Lightning!"
Ning Xi'er shouted sharply, took out four half-sized ceramic jars from her spatial storage, and handed them to the appearing Xuan Dian, along with one each of angelica and licorice root...
"Quick! Throw it at the horse!"
Ning Xi'er moved very quickly, taking it out from behind the carriage. Xuan Dian and the maids thought it was something they had bought in Changxing last time, and had no time to be confused.
Without hesitation, the four quickly dismounted. The horses were only three or four zhang away, but they weaved along the outer edge of the procession...
Holding the earthenware jar in his left hand and grabbing the soybeans inside with his right, he quickly scattered them at the bandits!
"princess!"
Zheng Ye, at the head of the team, saw Ning Xier running towards him and was surprised by how fast she could run despite her small stature. He couldn't help but feel respect for her!
She ran over to take the pottery jar, but Ning Xi'er wouldn't let her. Taking it over now would be a waste of time.
Zheng Ye didn't hesitate either, running alongside Ning Xi'er.
Ning Xi'er grabbed a handful of beans with her right hand, and Zheng Ye also reached into the pottery jar and grabbed two handfuls to help sprinkle them!
Soon, the can of soybeans was empty, as were Xuan Dian and the others.
Ning Xi'er was escorted back to the carriage by Xuan Dian. The bandits, with great momentum, had already rushed close.
"kill!"
A deafening shout rang out on the wide road.
There were bandits, as well as guards and servants from the group.
When it came to a life-or-death situation, even though some servants did not fight, they did not back down in the slightest!
Zheng Chengguang and Zheng Ye personally led the charge, fighting against the mountain bandits!
Even though they were exceptionally skilled in combat, this also highlights the importance of horses. The bandits, wielding long knives and mounted on horseback, had a significant advantage in terms of visibility and attack range...
Both have the advantage!
Ning Xi'er guessed that Zheng Chengguang, Zheng Ye, and the guards were probably cursing inwardly, wanting to buy horses!
The sounds of fighting erupted everywhere; shouts, the clashing of swords, and screams could be heard outside...
Extremely intense!
But before long, the situation outside changed again.
The bandits cried out in alarm, "Oh no!"
Ning Xi'er smiled. When they were scattering soybeans, the horses were running too fast; they might have rushed over before they even had a chance to eat...
But the soybeans rolled down the gentle slopes on both sides, and the bandits engaged in close combat...
The horses can easily reach the soybeans by simply lowering their heads...
It even spins around!
Ning Xi'er couldn't hide her smile, and the maids, seeing this, gradually felt relieved.
Sure enough, after a few cups of tea's time, the commotion outside gradually subsided, and Ning Xi'er, accompanied by licorice and angelica, got off the carriage.
When Eunuch Xu saw Ning Xi'er from afar, he walked over with a beaming smile, "Oh, Your Highness! We owe you so much this time!"
"We have quite a few guards who know kung fu, but this time the bandits are numerous and very fierce. They also have horses, so it's really dangerous!"
"If it weren't for your brilliant plan, the horses would have been thrown into disarray, and their formation would have been broken..."
"It's not just about how many people will die or how long the fighting will last!"
Upon hearing the noise, General Zhenbei instructed his trusted confidant to count the number of bandits and then came over.
Even the elders, including the renowned general, bowed to Ning Xi'er.
"Thank you for your trouble, Your Highness!"
Ning Xi'er quickly helped him up, and Zheng Ye also rushed over, looking radiant.
I've been inexplicably convicted, imprisoned, and exiled. It's been a long time since I've had such a good fight!
Zheng Ye didn't say anything, but his eyes were full of admiration!
Ning Xi'er smiled without saying a word. If there hadn't been a shortage of time, she would have sprinkled some poison into the beans!
But then I thought, not only did I kidnap the bandits, but I also got so many horses for free, which means I made a lot of money!
