Chapter 457 Robbers
Song Liyun and the other man rode their horses without stopping, and they galloped for dozens of miles before slowing down.
Song Liyun took out a small bow from the space and threw it to Wu Dan: "Jiang Xingfan and I have a grudge. I thought we would not run into each other in such a hurry. I didn't expect to encounter this again when leaving the city. He will definitely not let us go easily."
“This is a small bow that a Wu Dynasty hunter can make. Keep it with you just in case.
If anyone questions us, just say we are aunt and nephew visiting each other.
"If I tell you to attack, you shoot. If I tell you to flee, you can't stay. Find your young master as soon as possible."
Song Liyun described in detail all the things that might happen.
Listening to the young lady's arrangements, Wu Dan nodded with a serious face.
He was too weak to pull a heavy bow, but he was an accurate archer and a skilled horseman, so he could easily escape when surrounded.
The two of them avoided towns along the way and did not stop until noon at the edge of a forest.
Loosen the bit and let the horse graze on the hay on the ground.
Song Liyun took out some water and the white steamed buns and fried dough sticks she had bought that morning, and Wudan happily reached out to take them.
"Wipe your hands before eating!"
Wu Dan grinned and quickly took out a wet wipe from the small bag on his waist. He pinched a corner with his fingertips and wiped his hands clean.
Song Liyun pretended not to notice his laziness and wrapped the pancake in clean tissue paper and handed it to him.
Wu Dan took it and smelled it. He quite liked these Wu Dynasty foods. He opened his mouth to take a bite, but suddenly stopped and jumped up: "Young Madam, a horse is coming!"
Although it was March and the trees had not yet grown leaves, through the bare forest I could see five or six people riding horses in the distance.
Those people were all wearing ordinary clothes and riding ordinary mules and horses. They galloped all the way, raising a cloud of dust.
Song Liyun lowered her eyes and put the steamed bun away. Wu Dan was hungry, biting into the fried cake and gobbling it ravenously, only his eyes darted around as he looked around.
A few people ran through the woods and immediately saw Song Liyun and the other person.
The leader shouted, "We found it! Go tell Master Wu that they are here!"
One of them turned his horse around and ran back the way he came. The others dismounted and rushed over, surrounding Song Liyun and the other person.
There was a man who, perhaps because he was not used to riding a horse or because his legs were numb, slipped off the horse's back and fell head over heels as soon as the mule or horse stopped.
“Puff!”
Seeing this embarrassing look, the originally nervous Wu Dan laughed out loud, and the oil cake in his mouth sprayed all over the face of the leader who was walking towards him aggressively.
Song Liyun looked at Wu Dan speechlessly. Children are just children. If they laugh like that, how can these grown men face it?
Sure enough, the man who was about to say a few words suddenly flew into a rage, wiped the cake crumbs from his face and roared, "Hand over your horses and I'll spare your lives, or else! Don't blame me for being ruthless!"
horse?
For Malaysia!
Song Liyun was even more speechless. She thought it was Jiang Xingfan who had caught up with her.
These people wanted to steal his horse. They were a group of people from the inn in the city.
Wu Dan spat in his face again: "Get lost! You dare to covet my horse? I'll skin you alive!"
The man was spat on again. He howled in anger and rushed towards Wu Dan: "You fearless little bastard, I'm going to squeeze out your egg yolk."
Without Song Liyun's order, Wu Dan would not take action. He just nimbly dodged backwards to avoid the man's clutches.
Wu Dan wanted to hide, but Song Liyun would not do so. He raised his hand and whipped him with a whip, saying, "You are a seven-foot-tall man, yet you dare to bully a child."
The sound of breaking air startled the bad-mouthed person so much that he took a few steps back. He looked at Song Liyun and cursed, "Stinky woman, don't be so shameless. We brothers are not picky eaters. We can have fun in this wilderness."
As he spoke, he looked up and down Song Liyun's body with obscene eyes.
The other five people immediately laughed maliciously.
Hearing the insult to the young lady, Wu Dan flew into a rage: "Fuck you..."
But Song Liyun grabbed his belt and pulled him back: "Don't be reckless!"
Before taking action, you have to find out who these people are and not make enemies with them blindly.
Song Liyun's action of pulling Wu Dan obviously made the six people laugh. They laughed loudly and gradually approached Song Liyun and the other two.
The phrase "happy, happy" piqued the interest of some of them. Someone smirked and said, "I can't see what this woman looks like, but her figure looks pretty good. Why don't you give her to me? I won't share the horse..."
Before he finished speaking, Song Liyun, who had originally wanted to appear mature, steady, dignified and generous in front of Wu Dan, could no longer hold back.
She was not afraid of teaching the children bad things, and she suddenly lashed out with the whip in her hand: "Who are you? How dare you tease me in broad daylight?"
Although those people were on guard, they did not expect that Song Liyun would dare to take the initiative when surrounded, and they immediately lost the initiative.
Song Liyun's whip was as fierce as a shadow, and the others could only dodge and curse, "Bitch, if I catch you, I'll have fun with you and then sell you to a brothel."
Song Liyun learned how to use a whip from Elder Dan in the tribe, so she is not yet proficient in it.
The whip was so powerful that it prevented the men from getting close, but it also prevented them from hurting anyone.
Hearing the men still swearing, Song Liyun became furious: "Wudan, shoot their legs!"
Wu Dan, who was standing by, was already scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously, just waiting for these words.
Hearing that the young lady wanted to shoot the arrows herself, he picked up the two-foot-long bow and put three ironwood arrows on the string.
The bowstring sounded, the arrow fell, and three screams were heard!
Then two more arrows were fired in quick succession.
Almost at the same time, all five of them fell to the ground, holding their legs and wailing.
In different positions on the legs of each of them, there was an arrow without a tail, deep enough to penetrate the bone.
This type of ironwood arrow has no feather tail and a short range, but it packs a lot of power. It's perfect for close combat like this, and there's no need to worry about accidental injuries.
Several people were shot to the ground, but they refused to admit defeat and shouted sternly, "How dare you, a vicious woman, allow your slave to commit violence and injure others? We are going to the county government to file a complaint!"
They are obviously veterans. If they can beat the opponent, they will rob; if they can't, they will bite back.
This is the territory of Songfeng County. Fifth Master will be here soon. When we get to the county government office, you can say whatever you want.
Song Liyun remained unmoved and said coldly, "Well said. Have you ever thought about it? Even if you go to the county government office to file a complaint, I will still have to take you there."
How could they report the case when they couldn't even climb onto the horses?
Suddenly their arrogance disappeared, they looked at each other and stopped talking.
Song Liyun stepped forward and pointed a whip at one of them: "Who are you and why are you so unkind to us? If you don't tell the truth, I'll whip you a few more times."
She didn't believe that the innkeeper could mobilize so many people for two horses, and they were robbing openly on the official road.
The man had been shot through the calf by a tailless arrow and was sweating profusely from the pain. Seeing Song Liyun asking him, he gritted his teeth and said, "Our Fifth Master is in urgent need of a good horse. I heard from the groom at the inn that you have a horse, so... I came over to discuss whether we can sell it to you!"
"Since Madam doesn't want to sell the horse, we won't bother you anymore!"
Sell? Robbing people on the road and not even letting them go is called negotiation?
Song Liyun sneered repeatedly: "You call this a discussion?"
