They walked along this road for another two days.
Because of concerns about Fang Congshan and Wei Canglan's health, the group did not walk very fast.
Unexpectedly, on the morning of the third day, some disaster victims actually caught up with their group.
I don't know where these people came from.
The key point is that most of these people were starving and looked like skin and bones, but Fang Yuan discovered that some of them were pretending.
They looked at their team with very unfriendly eyes, as if they were looking at a piece of food.
If it weren't for the fact that they were carrying swords, some of them might have already charged forward.
When they stopped, the group stopped too; when they left, the group left too.
It's like a stubborn plaster that you can't shake off.
As evening approached, Fang Yuan and his team set up camp, and the group of people stopped not far behind them.
Fang Yuan suppressed his frustration and found Li Chengzhe: "Third cousin, how much longer until we reach the provincial capital?"
Lee Seung-cheol looked around and estimated, "About two more days."
Fang Yuan glanced at the group of people behind him and asked again;
"Won't those people behind us follow us all the way to the provincial capital?"
This group of people suddenly appeared in the morning and have been following them all day.
The group consisted of about a hundred people, though most of them looked half-dead.
But some of them looked plump and strong, and didn't look like refugees at all.
"I'm not sure, but some of the people here seem a bit off. You should be careful!"
Some of these people are genuine refugees.
But some people were so numb and emaciated that they resembled the captive prisoners he encountered on the battlefield.
He even suspected that there might be thieves from enemy countries among them.
“I know, I’ve also noticed something’s wrong. I’ll go tell my dad right away.”
Fang Yuan nodded, then turned and went to her father's side, whispering:
"Dad, my cousin said that some people with bad intentions have infiltrated the refugees behind us, so we should be careful."
She just had the system take a look as well.
The system said that there were about thirty people here who were much stronger than the others, and she suspected that these people might be bandits.
If those refugees could transform into bandits, then bandits could naturally also disguise themselves as refugees.
“Father knows. Give me the bow and arrows, and watch the carriage. I'll take care of the rest,” Fang Congshan said to Fang Yuan.
He had fought his way through the battlefield, so naturally he noticed something was wrong.
Fortunately, he has almost fully recovered, and archery is his old specialty.
“Alright!” Fang Yuan handed the bow and arrow directly to Fang Congshan.
This bow and arrow was bought for her by Fang Congshan a while ago!
She has more than one weapon; she also has the Mo Dao (陌刀).
It's kept in the carriage, ready to use at any time.
However, no one expected that the thieves would launch an attack while they were having dinner.
"Host, you are surrounded by more than thirty thieves."
Upon hearing the system's words, Fang Yuan jumped up and rushed to the carriage, drawing his Mo Dao (a type of long-handled sword).
At the same time, he shouted to the crowd, "Watch out, there's a thief! Grab your weapons!"
The group immediately looked around and saw that several refugees had quietly approached one of the guards.
As Fang Yuan shouted, he raised his hand and slashed at the guard's neck.
Fortunately, the guard was alert and took a step back to block the blow, which landed on his arm.
"Ah~~ Everyone be careful."
The guard endured the pain, raised his sword to defend himself, and retreated quickly.
Seeing this, Fang Yuan immediately drew her longsword and charged forward, shouting, "Take this from me!"
In Fang Yuan's hands, the Mo Dao was unstoppable.
The man raised his knife to defend himself, but a tremendous force came from the knife, and he couldn't even hold onto it. The knife slashed down and sliced off half of his shoulder.
Ah~~~
As the man screamed and fell to the ground, Fang Yuan's blade spun around and slashed horizontally at the man behind him.
The knife struck him squarely in the waist, and as Fang Yuan pulled him along, he was nearly cut in two.
Ah~~~
After taking down two people, she turned to look at the others who had surrounded her.
He swept straight ahead, delivering two slashes in total, taking down two and a half more.
"Brother Shan~ Yuanyuan~"
Li Jingru was startled by the group of people and clung to Fang Yi, trembling as she cried out.
Seeing someone approaching the mentally challenged mother, Fang Yuan quickly turned back.
Two more swift slashes followed, accompanied by shouts:
"Mother, don't be afraid. Close your eyes. Little Yi, my second sister, close your eyes too."
After killing the person, Fang Yuan looked at the bloodstains on his body and began to feel uneasy again.
Turning to look at the others fighting, he found that Fang Congshan and Li Chengzhe were both gaining the upper hand.
However, the fourth young master was surrounded by three people and was in a bit of a predicament.
Seeing this, Fang Yuan gritted his teeth and charged forward again, killing them one by one with a single slash.
Thank you...
Wei Canglan pressed his wound and thanked him while slightly out of breath.
He finally witnessed this girl's abilities.
"My God! Murder! Murder!"
"Run! Run!"
"·····"
The refugees nearby were stunned by this sudden scene.
Once they came to their senses, they all took off running, not even having time to grab their luggage.
Once the group of real refugees left, the remaining thieves became easy to identify.
Fang Yuan and his men went all out, and Fang Congshan's arrows flew in rapid succession.
Seeing that most of their own men were dead, the remaining bandits lost their composure, and one of them shouted:
"This is a dangerous situation, everyone retreat into the woods!"
When I saw the woman and child getting out of the car, I thought it was a wealthy businessman who had hired a few guards to escort him.
Unexpectedly, even a horse driver was so skilled, killing all five of them with three strikes.
Apart from the woman and child, everyone else was skilled in martial arts.
They really misjudged this time.
"Father, don't let them go. They have people on their hands."
Fang Yuan turned his head and shouted something from the mountain, then followed a thief.
The system told her that this group of people had eaten human flesh, and that there were 'lambs' among the refugees they had their eye on.
Upon hearing this term, Fang Yuan immediately thought of the "two-legged sheep" during the Five Barbarian Invasions.
How can we let such a beast go?
She followed him into the woods.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Three arrows flew towards the three fleeing bandits, and Fang Congshan killed them all.
"Yuanyuan is back! Don't pursue a defeated enemy!"
Seeing Fang Yuan chase after him into the woods, he hurriedly called out, fearing that something might happen to Fang Yuan.
After entering the forest, Fang Yuan took out the spare longbow from his spatial storage.
The system gave her its location, and she fired several arrows, taking out all the remaining guys.
"Yuanyuan~~" Fang Congshan also rushed into the woods.
"I didn't chase after them, I'm right here!"
Fang Yuan quickly put the bow and arrows back into his spatial storage, raised the longsword in his hand, and turned to leave the forest.
"You little rascal, you're getting bolder and bolder these days. You don't even listen to your father anymore. You dare to chase after these vicious bandits?"
Fang Congshan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his daughter was not injured.
"I'm just worried they might follow us again. You can't guard against thieves for a thousand days," Fang Yuan replied.
The two returned to their resting place, where only a dozen or so bandit corpses and one survivor, Fang Yuan, who had been slashed, remained.
"Brother Shan, Brother Shan, I'm scared~~"
When Li Jingru saw Fang Congshan return, she ran straight to him and nestled her head in his arms.
"Don't be afraid, Ru Niang, the bad guys are all gone."
Fang Congshan immediately transformed into a tender and loving man, gently coaxing Li Jingru.
Fang Yuan muttered to himself and didn't look any further.
Turning around, he found Lee Seung-cheol interrogating a half-dead bandit.
