With seven children and one adult, Quan Jinghuai left from the shadows by the tent, thinking that the swindler was likely in grave danger.
So, the disciples can keep the things she bought as a memento, sigh!
When Quan Jinghuai looked around, he determined which directions and locations were safe, so he was leading them very smoothly.
As for Hong Xiaoduo, who was speeding along with two carriages, even in this situation, she couldn't bear to whip her horse.
Before setting off, I briefly communicated with them, explaining that we were in danger and had no other choice.
But she didn't know if the horse and the donkey behind it really understood. Anyway, after she sat on the carriage shaft and shook the reins, the horse took off running forward. She couldn't see what the donkey behind it was like, but she could hear that the rhythm of its hooves was the same as the horse's.
"After this matter is resolved, you two will be great heroes. Not only will we continue to feed you the best fodder, but we'll also buy you fruit, radishes, and beans," Hong Xiaoduo said happily.
She heard the rapid hoofbeats of horses following closely behind the carriage. She couldn't estimate how many bandits were chasing after her from the sound, but judging from the noise, there must be quite a few!
The reason she lied to the children's master was not because she wanted to play the hero, nor because she had any personal heroism.
However, she didn't want the children to lose this mentor.
The key point is that she's also gambling, gambling that she's not the main character? Then she certainly won't give up easily.
If you have the protagonist's halo, you'll be fine no matter how dangerous the situation is.
Brother Quan said that the other side probably numbered more than thirty, and he had about fifty pebbles in the bag at his waist. When the other side caught up with him, he would use pebbles to deal with the bandits who were far away, whip those who were closer, and use his sword to deal with those who were even closer.
Hong Xiaoduo also made a decision different from the past. Since the other side had more people, if a fight broke out, she couldn't just think about incapacitating the other side as she had done before.
This time, we'll strike where it's most vulnerable.
Although she had been traveling peacefully on the road recently, she had been thinking a lot. If she continued to travel on the road, she figured she would eventually have to start killing people.
It's not that I intentionally want to kill someone. When there are few people, I might be able to calmly think about hitting their wrists or knees. But once there are many bad guys, I probably won't be able to remain so calm and collected.
Another point is that there are just too many bad people; they are so hateful.
Hong Xiaoduo wasn't sure how long the horse and donkey could maintain this speed, and she didn't know if Brother Quan had taken them far enough.
The rapid sound of horses' hooves grew closer and closer, passing by from both sides and finally blocking their path.
"Whoa." Seeing the two rows of people blocking their way, holding gleaming, sharp spears, and fearing that forcing their way through would injure the horses and donkeys, they reined in their horses, and the carriage and donkey cart came to a stop.
"Brother Ma, there's bound to be a fierce battle later, and I'm not sure if we can escape unscathed. If you have a chance, take Brother Donkey and run to find Tian Shu and the others." Hong Xiaoduo jumped off the carriage, patted the horse's neck, and said softly.
The horse shook its head and even turned to rub against her.
"Oh my, Your Majesty, look! She's a beautiful girl!" A bandit in front of them exclaimed in surprise after seeing Hong Xiaoduo's appearance.
"Boss, this young lady is quite nice, she'd be perfect as your wife," another man holding a torch said with a wicked grin.
"Shut up, all of you! Don't frighten my wife!" one of the men shouted.
At this distance, and with their torches, Hong Xiaoduo could still clearly see their faces and hear their wicked laughter as she spoke. Hong Xiaoduo was also smiling to herself.
When I was in school, I read a saying: "To shoot a man, first shoot his horse; to capture a thief, first capture his king."
Just when they were worried about who their leader was, they exposed themselves!
"Look, this young lady isn't afraid of us at all! That's quite rare!" another bandit exclaimed in surprise.
Hong Xiaoduo thought to herself, "What's the use of being afraid of you?"
However, it is really strange that I don't feel any fear when facing so many bandits.
I was a little nervous because I had never faced so many enemies alone before!
It seems that people really do need real-world experience.
Thinking back to the very beginning, when I was first tricked into coming to this dynasty, when I fought that villain who abused Tian Shu and the others, I was terrified and panicked.
I'm afraid I can't beat him, and I'm afraid I'll accidentally kill him!
Now, I'm actually able to face such a big scene with composure.
This is different from the time with Lord Wei and his men. Although there were many assassins that time, Lord Wei had many guards under his command.
Unlike now, this is practically her own home turf.
"Young lady, seeing that you're not afraid, you must be someone who's seen the world. So, without further ado, you've run into us. Why don't you obediently become our boss's wife?" the first bandit shouted.
The driver was a young woman. Although she had a sword and a whip at her waist, they wouldn't be mistaken. Even if she knew a few skills, they were just for show.
Hong Xiaoduo had already picked up a handful of pebbles and sneered, "Since you know that I've seen the world, why don't you get out of the way and let me pass?"
"Hey, this young wench is young, but she's got quite the nerve. She's run into us now. If she doesn't give our king a few kids to carry on the family line, she won't be going anywhere." After the bandit finished speaking, the surrounding bandits burst into laughter.
"You're wrong. You're the ones who ran into me. I want to send you to meet the King of Hell. People like you who do this kind of immoral business are more suited to be childless and extinct. You think you can carry on the family line? That's laughable." Hong Xiaoduo was verbally sparring with the other party while silently counting their numbers.
However, I couldn't see them all; I could count more than twenty.
"Boss, your wife is quite interesting. What do you think we should do? Should you take her down yourself, or should the brothers do it?" the most talkative one said.
Hong Xiaoduo remembered his figure and clothing characteristics, thinking that she would regret it for a long time if she didn't hit him with a stone later.
"Tonight's trip wasn't in vain. It's been a long time since we've had any fun on the mountain. You can have some fun with my wife first, but remember, don't hurt her," the mountain king on horseback said.
Hong Xiaoduo stared at him and asked, "Are you from Mount Dalian?"
"Huh, they actually know where we come from," another bandit said curiously.
"Madam, you're so clever, you guessed right." The mountain bandit Bao Guangyong looked at Hong Xiaoduo with even greater satisfaction.
Although she looks a bit thin, if we feed her more meat after bringing her up the mountain, she should gain some weight...
