Let alone a weak woman!
"Their target is not the women, but us."
Lin Muheng analyzed.
Jiang He nodded.
“But it’s difficult for us to move around with her.” Jiang He pursed his lips.
"I'll find an opportunity to send her down the mountain," Lin Muheng decided.
Keeping Yao Ruolan around will only hold them back.
“But if we send her down the mountain directly, it might alert the kidnappers,” Jiang He said worriedly.
Lin Muheng was silent for a moment, a sly glint in his eyes, "We can create chaos and have a few Imperial Guards take her and escape."
Jiang He's eyes lit up. "Great idea! But... how do we implement it?"
Lin Muheng whispered a few words in Jiang He's ear, and Jiang He nodded repeatedly after listening.
In the dead of night, the mountains and forests were utterly silent. Lin Muheng and Jiang He proceeded according to plan, while Yao Ruolan anxiously awaited her chance to escape.
Apart from throwing a boulder that rolled down, the other party made no other move.
Does this mean they are certain that the other side will not dare to act rashly?
Lin Muheng certainly dared not make any rash moves.
He wouldn't joke about the lives of hundreds of people.
Since those people aren't moving, let's find a way to lure them out.
Lin Muheng signaled several soldiers to quietly circle around to the enemy's rear and light some dry branches. Smoke gradually spread, accompanied by flickering firelight.
"Fire! Fire!" A shout rang out from the mountains and forests.
A group of men in black rushed out from their hiding place and ran towards the fire.
Seeing this, Lin Muheng made a hand gesture, ordering his men to quickly protect Yao Ruolan and break through the encirclement down the mountain.
However, just as they were about to escape successfully, a cold arrow was shot at Yao Ruolan.
Lin Muheng cursed under his breath and immediately threw a dart.
The dart struck the arrow, but the arrowhead veered off course and flew past Yao Ruolan's ear.
Yao Ruolan cried out in surprise.
Jiang He roared, "Shut up if you don't want to die."
Isn't this just revealing my location?
Yao Ruolan immediately shut up.
He assumed that since those people hadn't tried to kill her these past few days, they wouldn't dare to.
Little did she know that these people lacked martial ethics; if that arrow hadn't been slightly off-target, she would have been meeting her maker.
Faced with a life-or-death situation, Yao Ruolan was no longer so sentimental.
She followed closely behind the Imperial Guards.
She would occasionally look at Lin Muheng with a pleading expression.
At this moment, she was still thinking that if Lin Muheng had rescued her and taken her home, it would definitely arouse everyone's curiosity.
I wonder if Lin Muheng was moved by her sincerity when he risked his life to personally escort her.
Yao Ruolan prayed silently in her heart, hoping to return to the capital safely.
Suddenly, she heard the sounds of fighting ahead and was startled. Could there be an ambush? She looked nervously at Lin Muheng, but found him calm and composed.
Lin Muheng turned to look at Jiang He, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Fortunately, they were lured out.
If the enemy remains in the shadows while they remain in the open, they can easily fall into the enemy's trap.
The river charged forward with all its might.
These kidnappers were treating them like monkeys.
Taking advantage of the chaos, several imperial guards helped Yao Ruolan break free from the encirclement.
Lin Muheng and Jiang He rushed towards the kidnappers together.
Judging from their actions, these people were not ordinary bandits.
Lin Muheng wanted to storm their hideout and see what they were up to, and how many people were still being held there.
With Lin Muheng and Jiang He's reckless fighting style, they quickly stormed into the bandit's den.
However, the bandit's den was in complete disarray, and there was not a trace of the bandits left...
