Hundreds of arrows came flying from both sides.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Originally, Meng Renhun was already prepared to die.
But in an instant, a white mist suddenly emerged from his body.
He felt like someone had given him a helping hand.
"Come with me now!"
Wait, why does that voice sound so familiar?
It was...her?
Meng Renhun was shocked!
Liu Yingying led the heavily injured Meng Renhun through a narrow path to a safe cave.
"Snap!"
She took out a tinderbox, lit it, and turned around to see Meng Renhun's incredibly puzzled face.
Why did you save me?
"Remember I told you that my man is dead and I'm all alone. If you die too, I'll definitely fall into the hands of the boss... Hehe... You understand, when faced with two evils, choose the lesser!"
Upon hearing this, Meng Renhun's feelings were inexplicably complicated.
Hmph! This woman is really cunning!
But he soon realized something was wrong.
"Wait, weren't you in your room? Why are you here?"
"You didn't... come here specifically to save me, did you?"
He narrowed his eyes, as if he wanted to pierce through Liu Yingying.
"Here's what happened..."
Liu Yingying recounted, with added embellishments, the plot that Liu Junshi and A Xu had conspired against.
In short, it can be summed up in one sentence.
The boss has been wanting to get rid of you for a long time, and now he's teamed up with your most trusted confidant to get you!
As expected, Meng Renhun believed her words, and his face instantly turned ashen.
"Hmph! I knew all along that the boss was intolerant of others, but I never expected him to take this opportunity to get rid of me!"
"So what are your plans now?" Liu Yingying asked from behind him, her eyes gleaming with a sly glint.
"I had no intention of fighting the boss for power, but now that he has acted unjustly first, then don't blame me, Meng Renhun, for being ruthless!" Meng Renhun was truly enraged, clenching his fists so tightly they cracked.
Liu Yingying: "But aren't you afraid that I might be lying to you?"
Before he could finish speaking...
Meng Renhun suddenly turned around, startling Liu Yingying.
"You're just a woman, and you're all alone in this bandit mountain. How do you have the ability to control all of this?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yingying secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Heh...hehe...you're right!"
Since that's your opinion, that's for the best!
Fortunately, Meng Renhun's injuries were not serious. After a simple treatment, the two returned to the mountain, telling the outside world that they had been ambushed by government troops.
Upon receiving the news, the head of the gang quickly came to offer his condolences.
When the leader saw Meng Renhun lying in bed, looking like he was seriously injured and beyond medical help, he showed extra concern.
"Oh dear! Second brother, I never imagined those soldiers could injure you so badly!"
"Don't worry, I will avenge you tenfold sooner or later!"
Looking at Meng Renhun, he seemed genuinely moved.
"Good brother! With your words, I would gladly go through fire and water for you..."
Liu Yingying impatiently picked at her ear outside the door; inside, it was nothing more than a scene of feigned politeness.
The leader originally wanted to kill Meng Renhun so that he could rest easy.
But who would have thought that Meng Renhun would come back alive? This made him even more wary.
The reason I came here today is, to put it bluntly, to test whether Meng Renhun knows that this matter is related to me.
Meng Renhun knew the leader was behind it, but he wasn't confident he could kill him with a single blow. So he could only pretend ignorance, stall the leader, and wait for an opportunity to strike back...
After the formalities were mostly completed inside, Liu Yingying took the medicine and went in at the opportune moment.
"Second Master, it's time to change your medicine!"
Meng Renhun nodded expressionlessly. "Mm."
However, the leader did not intend to leave. Instead, he stopped and watched the entire process of Liu Yingying changing her dressing.
Suddenly, with a hint of doubt, he asked, "I heard you were 'the first to discover the seriously injured second-in-command'?"
Liu Yingying immediately put on a look of fear and trepidation, "It was the Second Master who took pity on me and gave me special permission to move around within a certain area on the mountain, which is how I accidentally saw the Second Master who was seriously injured at the time."
"Oh, I see!" The leader stroked his chin, looked her over, and then instructed, "Then you'll be in charge of taking care of the second-in-command. Remember, if you do a good job, I'll reward you handsomely!"
After saying that, he strode away.
"Yes!" Liu Yingying craned her neck and replied, watching the chief leave.
When she turned around, she found Meng Renhun looking at her with great interest.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Meng Renhun's eyes suddenly flashed, and he said, "I've known for a long time that you're different from other women!"
Holy crap! Did he find out I'm a time-traveling woman?
Liu Yingying secretly took a deep breath, and quietly pulled out a pistol from her pocket, which was hidden in her sleeve.
The fact that I am a time-traveling woman must never be revealed!
Otherwise, she would be considered a witch and killed by the people of this era!
So she waited for Meng Renhun to say what he would say next.
Once he says it, I'll shoot him!
"Oh, really? Then tell me, Second Master, what makes me different?"
"You possess courage and boldness that other women lack!"
"Second Master, you flatter me!"
Liu Yingying smiled modestly, but rolled her eyes inwardly.
In her view, women in this world are like a hundred flowers, each with its own unique beauty.
