"If you continue forward and harm Lin Ru, those people will really shoot arrows!"
Sun looked around but didn't find anything unusual!
"I refuse to believe this nonsense!"
"How would I know if this little girl is just putting on a show and there's actually no one around, and she just wants to use us to achieve her own goals!"
"I won't let her succeed!"
"Just a little girl! We were just momentarily careless!"
He spoke as he pulled the knife forward!
"Who told you to take advantage of the situation? I'll teach you a lesson today..."
Before he could finish speaking, with a whoosh, an arrow landed right in front of his right foot!
If he had taken just a little bigger steps, the arrow would have pierced his foot!
He was extremely shocked by the accuracy of this man's archery!
Sun Laoda was so frightened that he froze on the spot, not daring to take another step forward!
Ma Mingjie was terrified, thinking that the people in the woods were really going to shoot arrows!
He immediately knelt down into the woods!
"Please don't fire your arrows yet! Give me a little more time!"
"My brother and the others meant no harm!"
"They never kill innocent people indiscriminately!"
Seeing this, Ma Minghao and his companions knew that there were indeed people lying in ambush in the woods!
Moreover, Ma Mingjie must have reached some kind of agreement with them to save their lives!
Otherwise, given their current exhausted state, they would definitely not be able to avoid the sudden barrage of arrows!
The one who fired the arrow was none other than Wu Ling!
He suddenly shot an arrow outside, which terrified the group of people in the mountain stronghold!
"Who gave you permission to fire the arrows? You're trying to expose our position!"
"Yes! You caught us completely off guard. What if those people put up a fierce resistance?"
"We've lost the initiative!"
Why didn't you discuss this with us?
Wu Ling ignored the people yelling beside him!
They wanted to say something more, but were so frightened by a look from Wu Ling that they shut their mouths!
They were all somewhat surprised as to why their mouths suddenly became uncontrollable and their bodies were trembling slightly!
They had never seen such terrifying eyes! They were being looked at as if they were dead men, as if they were ants!
When that little girl was around, this man seemed simple-minded and easy to bully. But after Miss Lin left, he became like a completely different person!
Moreover, it wasn't just this man's eyes that changed; the eyes of the group of people behind him, who were dressed similarly to him, all turned extremely cold!
Just like a pack of wild beasts poised to pounce!
They stared intently at them, as if if they dared to utter another word of dissent, these people would suddenly pounce on them and devour them whole!
Ji Wenxuan grew up in Kyoto and had seen all sorts of people. This man's imposing gaze made him feel as if he were seeing a seasoned general, his murderous aura almost tangible!
Startled, he quickly spoke up to mediate!
"Please stop arguing, everyone. Miss Lin has her reasons for doing this!"
"Let's wait and see. Since we've already decided to send Miss Lin down, we should trust her!"
"Brother Wu Ling, my brothers meant no harm!"
"They just couldn't figure out what Miss Lin was thinking, and they were also worried about everyone's safety!"
"We all share the same goal now, so it's best not to fight amongst ourselves!"
The terrified men opposite quickly echoed in hushed tones!
"Yes, yes! I wonder what Miss Lin whispered in his ear just now!"
"They didn't tell us, that's why we're worried."
Seeing their expressions, Wu Ling withdrew his gaze and didn't say a word to them!
Although those people didn't say anything on the surface, they kept thinking to themselves, "What are you pretending for?"
"A kid whose hair hasn't even fully grown in yet..."
But I only dare to complain in my heart!
Meanwhile, Lin Ru, seeing the soldiers' panicked expressions, still maintained a smile!
"Everyone! There's no need for you to panic like this!"
"I've come down here to save your lives!"
"I told you long ago, if I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't have needed to come down here in person!"
"But if you continue to be so uncooperative, then don't blame me for being impolite. After all, you are the icing on the cake, but I can get things done even without you!"
"The opportunity is right in front of you!"
"It all depends on whether you can seize the opportunity!"
Ma Minghao helped his younger brother up from the ground!
"Miss Lin, tell me, what exactly do you want us to do?"
Lin Ru's smile became even more genuine!
"That's more like it! Listen to me obediently, and I'll guarantee your safety!"
"Judging from the group of strong men behind you, it seems that the number does not match the prefect's requirements!"
"And your brother just said that even if these quantities match, they won't let you off easily!"
"Why don't you consider cooperating with us?"
"Didn't you want to rebel?"
"With this rabble behind you, you have absolutely no chance of winning!"
"However, if you have my men to help you, I guarantee you will succeed in your revenge!"
Ma Minghao: "Why should I believe you?"
Lin Ru pointed to her head, "First of all, I'm smarter than you. With brains like yours, you'd probably be killed as soon as you get to the city gate!"
"Secondly, you have no other choice! Either die now, or die after returning to the city. Think it over carefully!"
Sun, the gang leader, pulled Ma Minghao and Ma Mingjie aside and whispered among his brothers!
"Mingjie! Where did you run into this female demon? Is she really reliable? She seems to have a habit of talking nonsense!"
"Yes, yes, look at this little girl, she's so young, she's not even fully grown yet, and she's already spouting such big talk!"
"I think we should take a gamble!"
"Perhaps there's only one person in the woods!"
Ignoring their words, Ma Minghao looked at his younger brother!
"Mingjie, what do you think? You've spent more time with her!"
Do you think this woman is trustworthy?
How many of them are there?
"Are they really all lying in ambush in the woods? How good are their skills?"
"Who should be in charge?"
Do you know their purpose?
Ma Mingjie thought for a moment and finally replied, "Brother, you know I'm not particularly smart!"
"But the Miss Lin I know is trustworthy!"
"Moreover, her martial arts skills are excellent, so you must not provoke her."
There are probably more than 1,000 people in the woods!
"Although not all of them are skilled young men, at least half of them are very powerful!"
"These people are composed of two groups. Miss Lin is just an ordinary civilian, while the other group is bandits. However, on the surface, they all seem to listen to the bandit leader!"
"Actually, I think Miss Lin is the one in charge!"
As soon as Ma Mingjie finished speaking, Boss Sun was the first to jump out and express his disbelief!
