Unexpectedly, at this moment, a soldier suddenly drew his sword and began slashing at the ropes binding the people!
The officers and soldiers all cursed loudly when they saw the scene before them!
"Ma Mingjie, have you gone mad?"
"You little bastard! I knew you were up to no good!"
"You and your brother are both brats who were born of a mother but were not raised by one! If it weren't for the sake of the eldest brother, we wouldn't have taken you along!"
"You just wait until you get back! I'll make sure you regret it!"
"Mingjie! You can't do this, you'll get us killed!"
"Think about your brother!"
"When I hit you, I should have gone harder and killed both of you brothers!"
The official named Ma Mingjie seemed not to hear their curses and pleas!
Lin Ru thought this person was Ji Wenxuan's informant, so she didn't pay much attention!
Soon, they ran out of arrows!
Only fifty or sixty of the more agile individuals remained, managing to dodge wave after wave of poisoned arrows!
They wanted to capture the able-bodied men as a threat; those men were tied together in a string, and even though the chains binding them were cut, they still couldn't escape!
Just as they were about to pass by, a group of bandits emerged from the bushes. They protected the people while fighting against them!
Although their kung fu skills weren't very good, they were constantly being overwhelmed and beaten by these soldiers!
But there were just too many of them!
They are trying to buy time, waiting for their comrades to come down and support them!
Soon, the people above, led by Gao Du, Zhang Tiedan, and Ji Wenxuan, rushed down one after another!
Lin Ru also called her three younger brothers and rushed down with Ji Wenxuan's men. She wanted to train her three younger brothers more. She had taught them a few moves before, and later the Wu Clan came and taught them some killing moves, but they had never had a chance to practice them!
Now we can finally see the results of all these days!
Seeing that her daughter and son had come down the mountain, Bai Shi was not to be outdone. Ignoring Rong Peiyu's obstruction, she went down to fight them as well!
At this point, they had the upper hand in numbers!
But the remaining dozens of men were really skilled. In order to reduce the casualties of our brothers and prevent them from escaping and going back to report the news!
So Ji Wenxuan arranged for people to surround the area, and some of them went to untie the group of strong men!
The rest of the people joined the battle!
Lin Ru's family quickly became the main target of those soldiers!
Especially Lin Qing, who was the youngest. They wanted to take him hostage and then negotiate, but they didn't expect that this kid would be so difficult to deal with!
Especially since there was always a little girl protecting him!
The situation immediately became tense!
Lin Ru did not allow the Wu clan members or the people of Shili Village to make a move, because no matter what the circumstances, one should always have a backup plan!
The bandit leader, with a full beard, saw that even the little girl was involved and was eager to prove his own abilities, so he ignored the others' attempts to stop him and jumped off the mountain!
Unlike the others, however, as soon as he jumped down, he felt a sharp pain in his stomach, which caused him to roll down the slope!
And it rolled straight to the feet of a soldier!
At this moment, it seemed as if the bandits were deliberately trying to kill their leader, and they all shouted loudly when they saw this!
"Boss! Are you alright, boss?"
"Boss, you're injured, don't go down, come back up!"
"Boss, be careful, there might be soldiers around you. Don't let them arrest you!"
"Boss..."
The shouts of surprise made all the officers and soldiers realize who their leader was!
Lin Ru was amused by their stupidity. They had all abandoned Lin Qing, who seemed to be the easiest to deal with, and rushed towards their leader!
The soldiers closest to him also raised their knives and were about to slash at him!
The bandits nearby were very anxious when they saw this, and began to give orders all at once!
"Boss, get to the right!"
"Boss, get out of here!"
"Boss, move back a bit!"
This series of commands left the boss completely bewildered, unsure of whom to listen to!
Just as the knife was about to strike his shoulder, in a flash, a pair of warm, soft hands grabbed his shoulders and lifted him up from the ground!
Before he could even catch his breath, the person shoved him hard to the right because his stomach was in pain from Lin Ru's blow!
With that push, it seemed like he aggravated his wound, and the pain made him unable to stand up, so he fell flat on his face again!
This caused everyone to gasp in shock!
Those bandits weren't very good at martial arts, but they were all quick-witted, especially Zhang Tiedan!
He just dodged a blow from the soldier!
They couldn't wait to mock them!
"Boss, this won't do. Why don't you give me the boss's position?"
"Look at you, you were just pushed by a woman, not even with much force, how did you end up falling flat on your face?"
"Boss, stand up right now! There's another guy rushing towards you on your right, and there are others in front and behind you too. They've surrounded you! Stand up now!"
He had barely finished speaking when his arm was slashed!
He cried out in pain!
"Ouch, that hurts like hell! You little brat, you really did cut me!"
"Boss, you got chopped up just because you cared about me. You better step up your game!"
"You little bastard! How dare you scheme against me! I'll kill you!"
Lin Ru and the others were speechless at the sight. It was clearly because he was only focused on watching the fun and mocking people that others were able to get the chance!
It's really speechless that people still accuse him of being framed!
The bearded leader was speechless. What kind of time was this? Zhang Tiedan was still watching the show and making things worse!
He was pushed by a woman. Even if he wasn't blind, the strength in his hand was something only a man weighing 200 pounds could have!
Moreover, he was clearly injured internally by that girl; otherwise, this amount of force wouldn't even be enough to tickle him!
But now is not the time for him to refute!
He could already feel the wind whistling past his ears. He quickly endured the pain in his abdomen, gritted his teeth, and rolled backward!
With a clang, it was the sound of the knife slashing through the air and striking the ground!
When the soldier saw that his sword had missed its mark, he couldn't help but curse under his breath!
"Old man! Just prepare to die! Stop hiding!"
"Brothers, let's kill his boss together!"
"Avenge our brothers!"
The two people next to him echoed his sentiment!
The bandit leader heard the three men's voices were extremely close to him, and he cried out in despair, knowing that he was doomed!
The front and sides are blocked off, and there seems to be a hillside behind it!
Although he couldn't see the movements of the three people in front of him because he was facing down, he could already feel the chilling wind of the blades coming towards him!
