Just as he felt his life was about to end and was thinking of his last words, those warm and soft hands grabbed his arm again!
He suddenly lifted him up and, with one hand, flung him violently onto the hillside!
At the same time, he also heard a clang, the sound of weapons clashing!
At this moment, he finally turned face up and was able to see clearly what the person who had saved him twice looked like.
Even dressed in coarse linen clothes, her slender and graceful figure could not be concealed!
And there was her slender, fair wrist, exposed as she raised her knife to defend against the three men's attack!
Everything proved that the person in front of them was a woman!
He finally understood why Zhang Tiedan had just mentioned a woman!
And this woman was none other than Bai Shi. The eldest brother happened to be right under her and the soldier's feet. She was really going to be driven crazy by this guy's stupidity!
How can someone fall over with just a push?
And he's still a bandit leader?!
His weak and helpless appearance is really inconsistent with his full beard!
While Bai was inwardly complaining, his hands kept moving!
She now has to fight three people at once and protect this bandit leader!
She mobilized all the internal energy in her body and poured it into her hand. With a sudden burst of strength, she knocked the three men back several steps!
Only then did the Bai family members on the hillside breathe a sigh of relief!
They were terrified watching from up there!
Fortunately, Bai Shi was not as weak as they had imagined!
She can now lift a strong man with one hand and walk with incredible speed!
Seeing that the three men had been forced back a few steps by her, she quickly retreated to the bandit leader's side, picked him up, and then carried him quickly toward Ji Wenxuan!
The officers and soldiers were only careless for a moment, and they quickly caught up once they realized what was happening!
Seeing the soldiers relentlessly pursuing them, Bai threw the man in her arms forward, landing him at Ji Wenxuan's feet. Although the bandit leader landed face-first, and judging from the situation, he should have been scraped!
But he managed to save his life. Now he was surrounded by his own people, and the soldiers couldn't do anything to him for the time being!
So they turned their attention to other people!
Zhang Tiedan's fighting ability plummeted after being slashed!
Even so, he still had the mood to watch the show!
He was shocked to see the eldest son of the family being casually thrown out by a woman!
Just then, Gao Du's panicked voice reached his ears!
"Zhang Tiedan! Watch out!"
Zhang Tiedan sensed something was wrong; he could feel the object pressing close to his neck. He cursed himself inwardly for never getting enough of a loss!
Although he raised the knife as fast as he could, he was still a step too slow!
He could already feel the knife against his neck, its cold touch!
He simply couldn't believe that he was going to die like this!
But the next second he was suddenly thrown aside by a strong force!
Due to excessive force, he fell and continued to scrape on the ground, eventually landing face-first!
Zhang Tiedan never expected that after all this commotion, he would become the center of it. He wiped the blood from his face and neck, then looked up and saw that the soldier who had almost killed him had been stabbed through the stomach by that little girl!
His clean and efficient manner impressed him greatly!
Lin Ru pulled out her knife and stabbed the soldier who had attacked her from behind. After confirming that both of them were dead, she frowned and didn't look at Zhang Tiedan. "Now it's either you or me fighting. Can't you be serious? Stop thinking about watching the show all the time. When you die, there will be plenty of shows for you to watch in the underworld!"
"This is the first and the last time I'll save you!"
"I promise I won't help you next time. You'd better watch yourself!"
After saying that, she went off to fight with someone else!
What Lin Ru didn't know was that Zhang Tiedan's gaze at her at that moment could only be described as sparkling!
Zhang Tiedan decided to change his most admired person from the second-in-command to this little girl!
This little girl not only risked her life to save him, but also cared about him. And the way she used every move to take a life was so cool!
Seeing Zhang Tiedan like this, Gao Du knew it was all over; he was going to be deceived by a woman again!
The battle lasted for about half an incense stick's time before it finally came to an end!
They looked at the corpses of these officers and soldiers, not knowing what to do!
Lin Ru: "Throw them all up the mountain to feed the wolves! Oh, and when you throw them away, remember to strip them off their official robes and search them for their valuables!"
"That way, even if they are discovered, either the wolves in the mountains will eat their bones, or everyone will think they are refugees who starved to death!"
"Anyway, we've already taken over this desolate area, so we won't suspect the government soldiers!"
Ji Wenxuan felt that Lin Ru was right, so he ordered his men to carry the bodies into the woods and strip them naked!
All their belongings were confiscated!
The bandits quickly complied!
Lin Ru then instructed them to clean up the bloodstains on the ground!
"Cover up the bloodstain with the mud and sand next to it. Although a few deaths are nothing in this chaotic world, it's still better to be careful!"
Those bandits had already witnessed Lin Ru's prowess, and the fact that their second-in-command hadn't refuted a single word the girl said proved that she was right!
So now they trust Lin Ru quite a bit, and they obediently do things without Ji Wenxuan having to tell them to!
After Lin Ru finished giving them instructions, she turned around and told the people from Shili Village to come down from the hillside!
The strong smell of blood here makes it impossible for them to rest here tonight, for fear that the smell will attract wild animals from the mountains!
"Hold on for one more night! The stench of blood is too strong. Let's hurry on our way. If we attract other wild beasts, we'll be in for another fierce battle!"
Upon hearing this, the villagers of Shili Village obediently packed up their belongings and headed downstairs!
Ji Wenxuan could tell from their exhausted faces that they hadn't slept in a long time. They had finally found a place to rest, and they had ruined it!
I couldn't help but feel guilty!
So he suggested, "Miss Lin, our camp is not far ahead. If you don't mind, you can come back with us to sleep for the night. It should take about three more hours to reach our destination!"
Lin Ru looked at her group and saw that they were indeed exhausted, so she didn't refuse.
At this moment, Gao Du suppressed the soldier who had initially spoken up for these able-bodied men but later cut their ropes!
"Second-in-command! What should we do with this soldier?"
Lin Ru also recognized the soldier!
Judging from their tone, this person isn't their informant!
Ji Wenxuan looked at the soldiers with some worry. This man looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, a decent-looking young man, but his body and neck were covered with marks, which made him look rather pitiful!
On second thought, this child also has an older brother who is an official!
