Here it comes.
This group of people arranged by Mr. Dong have arrived.
The sudden and ferocious shouts outside, especially the word "robbery"... frightened Miss Lu so much that her heart trembled and she was completely stunned.
This place is so close to the city gate and has strict jurisdiction. How could robbers suddenly appear?
Compared to the frightened Miss Lu, Chen Wei in the carriage of the Marquis' Mansion was much calmer.
certainly,
Although I am calm, I am still panicking!
“Wow.”
Chen Wei immediately lifted the corner of the curtain and saw that there were indeed several middle-aged men gathered outside. They looked like bandits, with rough faces and square scarves on their heads. The leader had a face full of flesh.
They all held long swords, dismounted, and walked quickly towards the two carriages.
Chen Wei's mentality collapsed: "........"
"Miss Shen, what's happening outside? Are they robbers?" Aunt Zhao had never seen such a scene before.
She was so frightened that her face turned pale and she clutched Xiaoman's arm tightly with both hands.
Xiaoman is not much better off.
She also looked terrified and panicked, as if she had lost her soul, and her legs were weak.
Not to mention the women in the house who never go out of the main door or the secondary door, even the old ladies who have seen many such scenes would be scared to death.
Although Chen Wei was also a woman from the mansion, Xiaoman didn't know why she subconsciously regarded Chen Wei as the backbone: "Girl, bandits...what should we do, what should we do, we have encountered bandits."
"I just heard... I heard that the bandits wanted to take all the women away to the mountains and kill all the men."
"If we get caught, our innocence will be gone. No, we don't need to be caught. As long as we fall into their hands, it's over... Girl, what should we do..."
yes.
Nothing practical needs to happen.
All it takes is a little skin contact with them, and some rumors spread, and you'll never be able to explain yourself.
"Boss, is this the carriage? Didn't they say there was only one? Why are there two?"
"No matter how many come, the result will be the same! You, go check the carriage in front, and the rest of you, surround the one at the back and drag everyone inside out!"
“Don’t kill me, don’t kill me…Ahhh!!”
Not far away.
The groom's screams were heard.
Then,
Miss Lu's sharp and terrified scream was heard.
Xiaoman grabbed Aunt Zhao's hand and tried to get up: "Miss... let's run... No, my legs are weak, I can't run. Miss, run quickly and find the Marquis to save us."
At that moment,
Xiaoman was desperate.
Except for the groom, all the women in their group were weak and frail. Aunt Zhao, the maid, and Miss Shen, all of them combined could not withstand a punch from the tall and strong bandit.
Aunt Zhao, who was sitting next to him and was frightened out of her wits, was shaking all over.
When people are extremely frightened, they cannot shed a single tear. Aunt Zhao listened to the sound of the robbers approaching outside and kept repeating in her mouth: "My Lord, my Lord will come to save us..."
"We can't fall into the hands of bandits. No, the Marquis will save us, and the Marquis..."
No.
Silly aunt, no one will save you.
You fantasize that in times of crisis, your soulmate will appear from the sky and lend you a helping hand, but in reality, that is just a fantasy, and you can only save yourself forever.
Rely on yourself.
Just like Chen Wei who was equally frightened, when faced with this scene, she could not imagine that a prince or a king would appear out of thin air.
She could only encourage herself in her heart, and then jumped down from the window frame with all her strength: "Xiaoman, you and Aunt Zhao stay in the carriage. If you can find a chance, you can escape."
"I don't belong here anyway. If I lose the bet and die, maybe I can still go home..."
"There's nothing to be afraid of."
Are you really not afraid?
Chen Wei was actually very scared. She had seen many scenes of bandits robbing people and raping their wives in TV dramas, but none of them were as bad as what she experienced in person.
The only time she witnessed death when she traveled to ancient times was when Miss Lin committed suicide.
That incident almost left her with a psychological trauma.
But when people are forced into a desperate situation, their potential will really be stimulated, like now... Chen Wei herself didn't expect that she was so brave. She could actually jump from the curtain to the ground neatly.
Then he sat down from under the carriage as quickly as possible and took out the long arrows and crossbow.
She had prepared these long arrows and crossbows before leaving for the Marquis' Mansion. She had originally intended to teach Aunt Zhao how to use them, but she didn't expect them to come in handy here.
"Don't come over here, stop, everyone stop!!"
"Who are you anyway... My young lady is the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's family. She is of noble status. How can you dare to touch her?"
"You can pay me as much money as you want, but please, don't arrest my lady..."
"If the Prime Minister knew about this, he would definitely send troops to wipe you out! Please let the young lady live." The maid grabbed Miss Lu's hand and begged these people humbly and fearfully.
Miss Xiangfu?
That's the goal.
The leading bandit smiled grimly. He glanced at Miss Lu who was crying bitterly, then raised his foot and kicked the maid who was standing in front of Miss Lu back two meters.
The leading bandit winked at the younger brother behind him and said, "Tie him up first, and be more restrained."
"Hahaha, good job, big brother!"
"The maids kept in the Prime Minister's Mansion are so tender and beautiful, and their skills are no worse than those of the brothels. Haha, if this kind of risk-free business comes a few more times, we brothers..."
"Zheng!"
"ah!!"
Suddenly.
A few dozen meters away, screams of pain were heard.
The bandit who walked in front of the maid's face changed slightly, and immediately looked in the direction of the sound...
I saw the companion who was walking towards the first carriage, holding his shoulder with a painful expression, as he had been shot by an arrow.
arrow?
Where did the arrows come from?
Several bandits were shocked and looked further away.
They immediately spotted the first carriage, where a stunningly beautiful young woman, no more than twenty years old, was standing. She had a slender figure and was holding a crossbow half a person's height.
She nocked the arrow and pulled the bow hard.
Chen Wei calmed his inner fear and made himself calm, and finally, he shot an arrow at his companion.
"Zheng!"
“Puff—”
This arrow didn't miss.
The companion was shot in the abdomen with great force. The arrow penetrated an inch into the flesh. Blood gushed out of the wound, and the companion fell to the ground with a painful expression.
“Third brother!!”
"Third brother!" Several people's faces changed drastically.
The leader of the bandits was in disbelief. He had never seen such a ridiculous scene in his entire life.
