Chapter 359 Daiyu's "Crisis"
When they went to the grasslands, they never heard of any bandit dens along the way. How come there are bandits who are about to become a force to be reckoned with on their return journey?
"It's about fifty miles away from that village of swindlers we encountered last time. I heard from the spies my father sent that they're planning something big: kidnapping the students of our academy."
When Liu Qianrou heard that Yuan Hongqu might be back, she came to tell Mr. Yuan as soon as she got the news, since the bandits were targeting the students of the academy.
If something unexpected happens and Mr. Yuan leaves the group first, there will likely be a lot of trouble ahead.
Yuan Hongqu wasn't particularly nervous after hearing this.
She was well aware of the strength of the study tour group, and with the addition of the formidable Lan Su, this bandit den was probably only enough for Lan Su to practice on.
Yuan Hongqu considered leaving a note for Daiyu when she returned to the space, so that she could see it whenever she entered the space.
Alas, this space is still not advanced enough. If only Daiyu could immediately sense when I send her a message!
Has your father already set off with his troops?
Liu Qianrou nodded, "The advance team has already set off, and my father and the others will also be setting off soon to suppress the bandits. If the study tour group's journey is slowed down, by the time they arrive there, my father and the others may have already wiped out the bandit's den."
“It’s also possible that the bandits were too powerful, and your father and his men were no match for them, and were instead wiped out by the bandits,” Wang Xifeng blurted out.
Liu Qianrou pouted unhappily and said irritably,
“Second Grandma Lian, my father is not like those incompetent generals in your family who have never even been to the battlefield and yet dare to call themselves generals. My father is a general who has truly been to the battlefield and won many battles!”
Wang Xifeng knew in her heart that what she said was true, but she still said it.
"If it weren't for Sister Yuan's intervention, your father's campaign against the bandits wouldn't have gone so smoothly. Sister Yuan, you must go and rescue Daiyu."
Wang Xifeng had confidence in Yuan Hongqu, believing that without Yuan Hongqu's intervention, the bandits would certainly be difficult to eradicate.
She had always thought she was the female lead of this world, but later she realized that Sister Yuan was the female lead of this Dream of the Red Chamber world, and the ultimate female lead at that!
A strong female lead who doesn't date!
Wang Xifeng has already imagined this world as a time-travel drama with two female leads.
Yuan Hongqu was the leading lady in her mind, while Daiyu was her idol leading lady.
The female lead doesn't date; she focuses on her career. This idol-like heroine receives love and attention from all sides and is showered with affection.
The more Wang Xifeng imagined it, the more she felt that this was the way the world was.
As for herself, this transmigrated woman, she'll definitely be there to support the main female characters.
Although Wang Xifeng felt a moment of defeat after realizing this reality—she never expected that after transmigrating, she still couldn't even become a protagonist...—
When Liu Qianrou came to talk to Yuan Hongqu about this matter today, Wang Xifeng's first thought was that if the idol heroine is in trouble, the main heroine must participate in the rescue. General Liu is just an old man who can't do those heroic rescues, so how could he possibly take the main credit in this matter?
Since there is currently no male protagonist in this world, it has to be the female protagonist who saves the idol heroine!
Liu Qianrou was also very unconvinced after hearing Wang Xifeng's words.
“Second Madam Lian, although Mr. Yuan is skilled in both literature and martial arts, when it comes to fighting, only a general like my father, who has experienced countless battles, can do it. No matter how good your relationship with Mr. Yuan is, you can’t push him to the battlefield! Swords have no eyes. If Mr. Yuan is injured on the battlefield, can you bear the responsibility?”
"My sister Yuan is not easily hurt." In Wang Xifeng's mind, her sister Yuan was invulnerable. Anyone who dared to hurt the leading lady would be punished by heaven!
“I am but a mortal, not Sun Wukong, how could I not get hurt? Qianrou, thank you for coming to deliver the message. Please go back and tell General Liu that if there is anything I can do to help, he should send someone to find me.”
Upon hearing Yuan Hongqu's words, Wang Xifeng was immediately dumbfounded.
"Sister Yuan, can you really trust Daiyu? Aren't you going to rescue her yourself?"
"Why do we need to use the word 'rescue'? They're not in danger. Their group is still fifty miles away from the bandits' den! If the bandits want to kidnap the students in our group, they'd better think twice before they try!"
Yuan Hongqu was extremely confident. She believed in Lan Su's abilities and also believed that Daiyu had enough self-protection capabilities. As for the other students, each family had brought more than a dozen carefully selected guards with them!
And those old women and the like—so many people couldn't protect one master; they really deserve to die.
She might not be able to protect everyone, but given Daiyu's style of doing things, if anyone around her is in danger, she would expose her space first and then take them inside!
In any case, apart from Daiyu and Yuan Hongqu, anyone else who enters the space is practically dead, and once they leave the space, they will not remember the memory at all.
Daiyu was also fearless.
In fact, she knew that there were a large number of villains lying in ambush on the road ahead before she met Yuan Hongqu last night.
Lan Su has even captured one of them for questioning, and has uncovered all of their plans.
Daiyu immediately took out the Zhuge Repeating Crossbows stored in her space, and each girl was equipped with one. The Lin family had several carriages, and the contents inside were very heavy. Mr. Yuan personally had them carried in, but he never expected that they would contain such heavy items.
Of course, it could be something else entirely; what's inside the box depends on what they need along the way.
The girls had all taken shooting classes when they were at the academy, and they knew exactly how to use the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow.
Early in the morning, Daiyu gathered with the teachers and group leaders for a short meeting and told them what Lan Su had found out.
I thought they would be terrified, after all, they are all rich young ladies. They would never see such violent scenes of kidnapping by bandits, even in the plays they usually watch.
I never expected to encounter a real one this time!
And the bandits' target was actually them!
Daiyu was somewhat bewildered by the abnormal excitement of the group leaders.
"Aren't you all afraid?" After a long while, Daiyu asked the question in a daze.
“Princess Lin, we’ve learned a lot of fancy but ineffective martial arts at the academy, and we don’t even know our own limitations. Let’s test our skills against these bandits!” one of the burly group leaders said.
"What!" Mi Ling exclaimed in surprise. She completely disapproved of this behavior. "Why should we confront bandits? A wise man avoids dangerous situations. Now that we know about this, we should just stay away."
“Dean Mi, we may only get to come out once in our lives, so why not let us go crazy for once?” Another group leader drew a soft sword from his waist in a flash, flicked it, and twirled it.
"You're so well prepared?"
Daiyu was also a little surprised. She thought she was the only one who had prepared a hidden arrow, but she didn't expect that someone else had even prepared a soft sword!
