The carriage stopped after this violent bump. Qingfeng supported Jing Qingrong, and Su Liuer held the window frame. All three of them looked puzzled.
Before I could ask the driver what was going on, I heard the sound of horse hooves outside.
Su Liuer was originally sitting on the other side of the carriage. After hearing the sound, she hurried to the other side to check.
There was a group of people, about ten people, rushing down the hillside by the road, waving various weapons in their hands.
Just a robber?
"Hurry up!" Su Liuer shouted to the coachman.
The driver came to his senses and whipped the horse. At this moment, "whoosh!" a sharp arrow flew through the air and shot towards the driver.
Su Liuer immediately pulled the coachman in. The sharp arrow flew just past the coachman's eyes, and he was so scared that his legs were shaking.
The horses of this group of people ran very fast, and soon they blocked the carriage from the front and back.
The leader was covered with a red scarf, and the others were covered with black scarves.
Jing Qingrong and Qingfeng were both frightened, their lips turned pale and they couldn't speak for a while. Jing Qingrong pulled Su Liuer back, wanting to protect her behind him, but Su Liuer pushed his hand away.
She said, "It looks like a robbery, so we just give them all the money."
Qingfeng nodded, and with trembling hands he took out all the silver and money from his body and the car. Even Jing Qingrong's fan and the jade hairpin on her hair crown were all put into the package.
"Everyone, come out!" the man in the red scarf who was leading the group shouted to the carriage.
Su Liuer asked the slumped driver to get off first, and then she did. Qingfeng supported Jing Qingrong and followed behind her.
This was the first time that a pampered young man like Jing Qingrong had encountered a robbery. His legs felt a little weak, but he tried hard not to show it.
After getting off the car, Jing Qingrong still wanted to stand in front of Su Liuer, but this time Su Liuer didn't stop him.
"All the valuables we have are here, they're all yours!" Qingfeng bravely raised the package in his hand to the man in the red scarf.
The man with the red scarf gestured to his subordinate beside him, and that man dismounted and took the package.
Take it back and hand it to the man in the red scarf.
The man in the red scarf opened it, looked through it for a few seconds, sneered, and threw the package back to his men.
He leaned on his horse with his hands bent over, looking at Jing Qingrong with sharp eyes, and said sarcastically: "You are the eldest son of the Jing family, and you want to save your life with this little thing? Your life is worth more than this little money!"
"You are here to arrest me." Jing Qingrong was surprised and shocked in his heart, but his words sounded calm.
The man in the red scarf nodded and said, "That's right, I'm here to catch you and exchange it for big money. If you follow me obediently, you can suffer less. Otherwise, hehe." He sneered, pulled out a dagger and threw it at the coachman.
He wanted to make an example of someone.
Su Liuer kicked the driver aside, and the dagger grazed his arm and stuck into the ground.
Jing Qingrong hurried forward and stopped Su Liuer behind him, then looked up at the man in the red scarf and said:
"Since you are seeking wealth, why commit so many sins of killing? Let them all go, and I will go with you!" His expression was firm, and there was fear in his eyes, but he did not back down.
Su Liuer was looking at this group of people.
This group of people should not be ordinary bandits who jump out to rob people halfway.
Every horse is a strong and healthy one, and every person looks well-trained. They don't look like a group of bandits, but more like a specially trained elite team.
