That man was one of Wan's employees; he had just gone into the woods to relieve himself.
The Wan family members who were unloading the goods immediately surrounded him: "Xiao Zhuang, is anyone here?"
Someone noticed blood on Xiao Zhuang's shoulder, immediately drew a knife from the side of the car and headed into the woods, but then let out a shout and staggered back.
Song Liyun and Wan Liangjin, who had already entered the house, came out upon hearing the noise and saw that the five members of the Wan family were fighting with seven or eight men in black.
Han Ming stood at the door with his hand on the hilt of his sword. When he saw Song Liyun come out, he quickly said, "Miss, these people are robbers. The Wan family can handle them."
Seeing that Wan Liangjin remained calm, Song Liyun also calmed down and simply observed the situation from the side.
I transported the goods myself, inspected and delivered them; the rest was up to the Wan family.
It's clear that the men in black had planned this all along; their aim wasn't just robbery, and they were using short knives.
Moreover, he was ruthless, aiming the knife at the vital points of the Wan family members, catching the workers off guard and throwing them into chaos.
Fortunately, the Wan family members were all blood relatives and were exceptionally united. They quickly found their own weapons and fought a five-on-eight battle to a standstill.
Wan Liangjin's face was gloomy as he stared intently at a masked man in black. Suddenly, he shouted, "Third Master Qin, what merit do I, Wan, have to disturb your grand occasion!"
A man in black suddenly stopped, ripped off his mask to reveal a large, fleshy face, and looked at Wan Liangjin with a sinister smile: "Wow, Master Qin has quite the nerve, you recognize me too?"
The leaders on both sides spoke first, and the Wan family members, who were well-versed in this matter, stepped back.
The other men in black also stopped and pulled off their masks, still surrounding the Wan family's carriage.
Wan Liangjin stepped forward and cupped his hands in greeting: "I have naturally seen the esteemed face of Master Qin from Qili County, but I don't understand what wind blew you into the underworld?"
He recognized the man.
Qin He was a notorious thug in Qili County, and he had been double-crossed by the thugs.
Snakes and rats each have their own ways of making money, so how could they possibly meet?
Qin He chuckled sinisterly, "Of course it's the wind of money."
Wan Liangjin's face immediately darkened: "So, Third Master Qin is determined to take this batch of goods? You'd better think about the consequences."
The two exchanged blows for a while, but Song Liyun did not step forward.
She stood in the shadows outside the hut, scanning the area before suddenly realizing something was missing. She abruptly turned to Han Ming: "Where's my brother?"
Han Ming looked around and, sure enough, Song Zhenping was nowhere to be seen: "Ping-ge'er was feeding the horses over there just now."
"Feed the horses?"
Song Liyun was startled. These men in black had come out of the woods nearby, and Song Zhenping had gone that way to feed the horses.
Just then, the neighing of horses echoed through the woods.
Danger!
Song Liyun turned and ran into the woods, with Han Ming following closely behind, having already pulled out a steel pipe.
"Brother!" Before Song Liyun even stepped into the woods, she saw two men in black and Song Zhenping hiding in a tree.
The reason the two men in black failed to capture him was because Ju Qingma was standing below Song Zhenping.
At this moment, the reins of Juqingma were grabbed by the man in black, and he could only anxiously kick his horse repeatedly to drive away those who tried to approach the tree.
"Let him go!"
Song Liyun shouted, startling the man leading the horse. He turned around and saw two people running towards them, one of whom was a girl. He immediately laughed and said, "Wow, this place not only has good horses, but also gives us a girl to play with."
Before he could finish speaking, Han Ming swung his steel pipe and hit him, saying, "Shut up, you son of a bitch."
He has been following Song Liyun for several months now and has figured out the girl's personality.
Without further ado, they acted without hesitation.
These two thugs were probably just tagging along, unable to even control a horse.
Seeing Han Ming wielding his long staff with such ferocity, Song Liyun was so frightened that she dropped her horse and tried to escape from Song Liyun's side.
Just as the two were about to get close, Song Liyun suddenly produced a steel pipe and swung it at their legs, causing them to tumble to the ground with cries of pain.
Song Zhenping then emerged from behind the horse's rump and asked in a hoarse voice, "Who are these people? Are they trying to rob us?"
He was a little nervous during the first two deliveries and was very careful each time.
But as he made more and more deliveries, he realized there was no danger and became careless. He didn't even tell anyone when he went to feed the horses.
The two men in black were originally trying to capture him, but Juqing was protective of her master and shy around strangers, kicking and biting them, making it impossible for the two men to get close.
Song Zhenping wanted to run, but the horse blocked his way, so he could only climb a tree and shout.
At that time, the fighting was raging outside, and no one heard it.
"Whatever they want to do, Manager Wan will handle it; it has nothing to do with us."
Despite saying it was okay, Song Liyun still had a bad feeling.
Manager Wan called the man "Third Master Qin," and combined with titles like "Fourth Master Min" and "Master Hong," even though Manager Wan didn't explicitly say so, she felt that this was someone from Tianxiang Restaurant.
The two men on the ground had been tied up by Han Ming. Upon questioning, they turned out to be two cart drivers who usually worked in Qili County.
This time, I'm being paid to help catch the carriage.
Where's the car?
I haven't seen it yet!
So that means you only prepared it because you knew you had a car!
Unable to get any answers, Song Liyun had no choice but to walk outside. Just then, another scream rang out from outside.
Manager Wan's voice rang out: "Make your move."
Another fight broke out immediately.
This time it was much more intense, with the sounds of sticks striking, metal clashing, and angry shouts mixed together.
The small village not far away was as quiet as a chicken's nest, with not even a light on.
Song Liyun protected Song Zhenping and ran outside quickly, only to find a chaotic scene.
The Wan family was clearly at a disadvantage; although they had weapons, they were all wooden sticks.
The enemy outnumbered Wan Jia, and Wan Jia's wooden sticks were at a disadvantage against the short swords, even forcing him to retreat repeatedly.
Even Wan Liangjin was forced to the side of the carriage by Master Qin, and the situation was as dangerous as a cat playing with a mouse.
The startled horse neighed, trying to break free from the carriage harness.
As soon as Song Liyun and the others emerged from the woods, Third Master Qin spotted her and shouted to the others, "Two men, arrest them all over there!"
Song Liyun knew inwardly that something was wrong.
She and Han Ming have their own ways of protecting themselves, but Song Zhenping can neither outrun them nor fight them.
The two men in black who were besieging the Wan family turned around and pounced on Song Liyun and her two companions, but Han Ming stopped them with a swing of his steel pipe.
Song Liyun took a step back.
She wasn't skilled in melee combat, so she would be at a clear disadvantage if she fought these people who knew kung fu head-on.
Moreover, in such a chaotic scene, he also had to take care of Song Zhenping.
The brother and sister would definitely be captured along with their families, so they had to escape.
She glanced at the excited Juqingma beside her, reached out and grabbed Song Zhenping, pushing him onto the horse's back: "Brother, I need to go help Uncle Han and Steward Wan now, you go first!"
"Go, go where?" Song Zhenping was pushed to the side of Juqingma, but did not climb onto the horse.
He...can't ride a horse!
