Chapter 201 Robbers

The carriage was carrying Bei Jingchu's clothes, and the wheels were turning rumblingly on the official road.

However, Bei Jingchu himself thought the carriage was too slow, so he pulled a smaller horse and led his guards directly to Dezhou.

Bei Hua, Haoyue and others couldn't catch up and could only follow behind in a car.

Only Lei Nian'er followed Bei Jingchu on horseback.

Fortunately, the temple they set out from was very close to Texas.

The road was dusty and we rode for two hours straight.

When they arrived in Texas, Bei Jingchu's legs were shaking and her butt was sore from the shaking!

Even so, she didn't dare to stop.

He sent someone to deliver the letter to the Dezhou government, while he himself led his men in the direction of the destination, toward the suburbs and mountains.

In the robbers' den, a dirty hand pinched Xu Xinshu's chin.

"This woman is so rough and dark, I don't even want to sleep with her."

"Just give it to the brothers to play with."

The minions cheered: "Thank you, Boss!"

Xu Xinshu clenched her fists in panic, suppressed the fear in her heart, and forced herself to calm down.

It’s okay. It’s okay.

Keep yourself alive first, staying alive is the most important thing.

The rough cloth covering her mouth was pulled away.

Xu Xinshu was finally able to speak, and shouted anxiously: "Do you know who I am? I am the Shaoqing of the Sino-Agricultural Temple, an official appointed by the imperial court."

"If you disrespect me, I will punish you and everyone in your village will die!"

She said this in a loud and powerful voice.

Everyone around was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

The leader of the bandits laughed heartily while sitting on the straw chair: "It's so funny! You can't even make up a lie to scare people."

“The imperial official hahahaha!”

"How can there be a woman who is an official? Women can't even be clerks."

The bandit leader clicked his tongue in disdain and shook his head, saying, "This woman is not only ugly, she's also crazy."

Xu Xinshu didn't expect that the source of information for this group of robbers was so isolated.

Of course, if she could escape, she would be able to crush these bandits to ashes.

But now, she still wants to try not to suffer too much loss.

Moreover, if we really fall into the hands of these vicious and cruel bandits.

It is hard to say whether you can save your life in the end.

"I work on the farm, so I don't have any fine clothes or silk."

"But I still have a token on my waist. If you don't believe me, you can look at it."

The robber touched her waist to look for the token, and the man took the opportunity to take advantage of her. Xu Xinshu felt disgusted.

But she just gritted her teeth and endured it.

When she leaves here, she will definitely ask the governor to send troops to wipe out this bandit den.

A small minion noticed that there seemed to be a flash of shadow outside the house.

But he didn't care, thinking it was just a small animal in the suburbs.

The robbers handed the token to the leader.

The token was exquisite, with the patterns, name, and official position clearly written on it.

Even though the robbers were illiterate, they could tell that it was not an ordinary thing.

He was terrified.

Look carefully at the woman in front of you.

She was wearing the most ordinary coarse linen clothes, and her face and skin looked exactly like an ordinary peasant woman.

There is really no trace of pampered living.

You must have lied to him, right?

Touching the pattern on the token, the bandit leader said hesitantly, "Lock her in the woodshed first."

Outside, Yan Zhong told Bei Jingchu what he saw: "Xu Shaoqing was alone, without any guards."

"Being tied up and locked in the woodshed is fine for now."

"It's just a small village with not many people. It's just a mob. The people we brought can easily take it down."

Bei Jingchu nodded and said, "You lead the way later. We will go straight to the firewood room where Xu Shaoqing is imprisoned."

"If we rescue him, we won't have to worry about them using Xu Shaoqing as a hostage."

Yan Zhong returned to the army, but it was difficult to ride a horse in the mountains.

The horses were tied at the foot of the mountain and the group walked on.

After the group left, many more people came to the land that had been trampled on.

Their faces were tightly covered, leaving only a pair of shadowy eyes exposed.

A strange voice came out of one of them's mouth, and they followed the trail and approached the village.

As Bei Jingchu was leading his group, Yan Chao walked up to Yan Zhong with a serious look on his face.

"Yan Zhong, as a secret guard, you must always stay by the princess' side."

"How could the princess ask you to find out information and you just listened?"

"Have you forgotten your master's orders?"

Yan Wei was still wearing a mask, so his expression couldn't be seen clearly.

He just said, "Aren't you still here?"

"When I rest on weekdays, you will be the only one protecting the princess."

Yan Chao retorted: "How can it be the same?"

"According to the rules, we are not allowed to leave the princess's side except when we are resting."

"Yan Zhong, you have something to say."

Yan did not answer.

By now they had already reached the village, and Yan Chao had no chance to ask any more questions.

Bei Jingchu led his men and rushed in to kill them.

For a well-trained guard team, dealing with a mob is as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.

Inside the village, the bandit leader was hesitating with Xu Xinshu's official seal in his hand. The next moment, he was caught and tied up by a guard who rushed in.

In the woodshed far away, a short, fat man covered with fleas, with a lustful look on his face, walked towards Xu Xinshu step by step.

"Little girl, I have never touched a woman."

Xu Xinshu warned cautiously: "Your boss said not to touch me!"

"Our boss only said to throw you into the woodshed, but he didn't say that we can't let the brothers do it."

"Sooner or later you were going to be used by us. I was just the first one to come."

Xu Xinshu tilted her head, but still smelled his bad breath.

Innocence and the like are secondary. At this moment, I just feel disgusted.

With a "bang", the flimsy wooden door was kicked open.

With a sound of breaking through the air, the gangster on her fell heavily to the ground.

At the door, the sunlight slanted through the door and fell on the little girl.

She lowered her right hand and held the bow in her left hand, having apparently just shot an arrow.

Xu Xinshu turned her head in the same direction again, and the arrow had pierced the back of the bandit's head, with only a short tail feather sticking out.

It actually runs through the whole thing.

"Sister Xu!"

The little girl called her and ran in, lifting her skirt.

She pulled out the guard's knife and stabbed it on the hemp rope that bound her.

The hemp rope unravels.

Xu Xinshu got rid of her hands and feet.

She asked, "How did you end up alone in a robber's den?"

"Where are your guards?"

Speaking of this, Xu Xinshu was even more frightened. She felt that she was really unlucky.

I have to go burn incense and pray someday.

"I was fine in the ground, on the way to the post station, I took a small path."

"Suddenly a group of people rushed out."

"I thought they were assassins, but it turned out they wanted to kidnap me."

"Perhaps it's because they came prepared. The guards are no match for us."

"I almost got pulled into their car."

"A few guards snatched me back and then helped me escape."

"The last one also separated from me in order to divert the pursuers."

"We were only two steps away from Dezhou, so we could ask the governor for help."

"But things didn't go as planned, and we encountered bandits again."

Bei Jingchu was terrified when she heard this.

【Kidnapped? 】

[Can break through the guards' heavy protection and capture Xu Xinshu directly. 】

【And kidnapping Xu Xinshu must be useful to them.】

[Either Xu Xinshu's own talent, or she wants to take over the Xu family, or she wants to take over Yue Chao. ]

Bei Jingchu was just thinking about it when Lei Nian'er said, "Your Highness, I suspect it's a foreigner."

"Capturing Xu Shaoqing will definitely offend Dai Viet."

"And now, there are those who are not afraid of offending Dai Yue and have the strength to compete..."

"I think it's Thunin."

Bei Jingchu: [In fact, the Yue Dynasty has already adopted firearms. If the production speed ordered by Aye does not lag behind, Tu Ning will not have the strength to compete with the Yue Dynasty~]

【But keep it confidential. 】

Bei Jingchu pursed her lips and held back from saying anything.

Lei Nian'er: ...It's okay, I know.

Seeing Bei Jingchu, Xu Xinshu lowered her head in shame and said, "I have failed your Highness' trust."

"You didn't have a chance to find the fish maw you mentioned, and you put yourself in danger."

"Let His Highness come..."

"How did Your Highness know that I was in danger and why did you come to this village?"

Bei Jingchu:......

【Wait, let me think about how to edit it. 】

After a few breaths, Bei Jingchu straightened her chest and said righteously: "This princess heard that there are bandit problems in Dezhou and the people are deeply resentful."

"So he showed kindness and came to suppress the bandits."

Xu Xinshu had no doubts: "Your Highness is truly kind."
