Yu Bai looked disdainful at the side, "It's not normal to be quiet. There are only two carriages on this road, so it's strange that it's not quiet."
After he finished speaking, he rolled his eyes at Wen Zhan, "I don't think you know how to pretend to understand. Stop using your charlatan methods to scare us. We are not vegetarians!"
Lu Qingtang continued to look at the scenery outside the carriage and looked at Yu Bai solemnly, "Even if there are few people, there will be birds chirping, but you see it is so quiet here, it doesn't look like an ordinary forest at all."
Yu Bai didn't understand anymore and looked at Lu Qingtang with a puzzled expression. Suddenly, a whistle broke through the silence in the mountains.
Wen Zhan immediately tightened the reins and shouted: "Turn around, there is an ambush!"
The Shui family's carriage driving ahead heard Wen Zhan's voice and stopped.
At this time, several feather arrows shot at the carriage, and the two carriages in front and behind did not dare to move.
Wen Zhan's face suddenly turned pale, and a moment of panic flashed in his eyes, "This sound is their signal to take action. We are ambushed!"
Needless to say, everyone realized this.
Lu Qingtang looked back at the three confused babies, and immediately asked Wen Zhan, "Are there many of them?"
"There are a lot of bandits, big and small. There are about a hundred bandits. The leader is very skilled in martial arts. I'm afraid we won't be able to escape!" Wen Zhan gritted his teeth and looked at Lu Qingtang, "You saved my life, today I will Return it to you. You take the children and go first, and I will cut off the queen for you."
Yu Bai on the side also said quickly: "Our wife has saved a lot of people, but you are the only one. You don't have to act like a hero. I will also marry my wife."
Lu Qingtang knew that they were all trying to protect herself. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded immediately, and then asked Yu Bai to inform Shui Yunxi and ask Mo Xinyu and Shui Lingxun to get on their carriage.
So Yu Bai ran to the Yun family's carriage amidst the hail of guns and arrows, told them their plan, and escorted Mo Xinyu and Shui Lingxun to Lu Qingtang's carriage.
"You should also be careful!" Lu Qingtang said to the three of them while holding the reins.
After saying that, she drove the carriage quickly out of the dense forest without hesitation.
At this time, the bandits from the mountain also rushed down and started a fight with Shui Yunxi and the others. There was another group of people chasing Lu Qingtang and the others. Lu Qingtang's heart was beating fast, and the bandits' shouts could be heard from time to time in his ears.
"Little ladies, why are you running away? Let me have some fun!"
"Hahaha, if you can't run away, let's get married tonight!"
"You look so handsome, grandpa, I will let you have a good time today!"
…
The dirty words of the bandits came to her ears, but Lu Qingtang didn't listen at all. She only had one thought now, and that was to escape.
The carriage was galloping along the winding and bumpy mountain path, and the screams of Su Mu and the others, as well as the cries of the babies, could be heard from the carriage behind them. Even Mo Yue, who rarely cried, burst into tears.
It was really unfair for them to sit in the car on such a bumpy mountain road, but there was no other way. Let's escape first.
She waved the reins vigorously, and despite the cold wind whistling in her ears, cold sweat still broke out on her back. She didn't dare to slack off at all. Any delay would be risky. She wanted to protect her child.
Seeing that the road is getting narrower and narrower, they are about to exit the mountain path and reach the official road to Fangcheng County. They just need to hold on a little longer and give them one more time to burn incense. However, at this moment, a force of gravity pulled Lu Qingtang off, and with a violent impact, the carriage and horses fell out together.
The shouts of the women and children in the carriage made Lu Qingtang forget the pain. She got up and threw herself at the fallen carriage, then dragged the people inside out one by one. She felt relieved when she saw that her three children were intact. .
At this time, she noticed that the wheels of the carriage were damaged by bows and arrows. It turned out that the bandits shot arrows and damaged the wheels, causing the carriage to overturn.
Realizing that something was wrong, Lu Qingtang quickly untied the rope from the horse, and then pushed Shui Lingxun onto the horse. The only way to save himself now is to go to Fangcheng County to seek help from the magistrate. After all, there is a princess and regent prince here. As the magistrate, he cannot ignore it.
Apart from Lu Qingtang, only Shui Lingxun can ride a horse. As for Lu Qingtang, she wanted to stay to protect her child, and she couldn't leave.
Shui Lingxun, who was on horseback, had a face full of anxiety. She shouted to Lu Qingtang: "How can I bear to leave? I want to stay and advance and retreat with you!"
Lu Qingtang looked back at the bandits who were about to rush over, and immediately raised the whip in his hand and hit the horse's butt hard.
"Hold on, our lives are all in your hands!" Lu Qingtang said, throwing the whip in his hand to her.
Watching Shui Lingxun's leaving figure, Lu Qingtang bent down and picked up the saber he had just taken out from the carriage. Shui Yunxi had given it to her for protection, and it finally came in handy.
She held the saber tightly in her hand and said to Mo Xinyu and the others: "Hide behind me and injure the children's eyes. Don't let them see that their mother will kill someone!"
She is a doctor who saves people. Killing is just to protect herself. Now is not the time to be moral.
Su Mu and Kou Dan immediately covered the eyes of Mo Mo and Mo Bao, and Mo Xinyu also quickly pressed Mo Yue against his chest.
At this time, the bandits had already rode up to the carriage. One of them was riding on the horse, looking up to the sky and laughing, and then said to Lu Qingtang: "Run, aren't you running very fast? You girls are pretty good at driving! I'll wait for you. When you get to the mountains, you will become the wife of our master, and I will let you drive her as much as you want!"
As he spoke, he jumped off the carriage, walked towards Lu Qingtang, and looked her up and down, "Hey, the posture of holding the knife is quite decent, but it's still not enough..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Qingtang glanced at his arm.
"ah!"
The screams pierced the entire mountain, startling the birds in the trees, and they flapped their wings and flew away.
Warm blood suddenly splashed onto Lu Qingtang's face, and she could clearly see the bones and fresh flesh beating on the other person's arm.
The gangsters were dumbfounded. They didn't expect that Lu Qingtang would actually kill their second in command. After being stunned for a moment, the minions finally came to their senses and stepped forward with their swords raised.
When Lu Qingtang saw this, he immediately kicked the second master in the heart, letting him scream and scream on the ground, and continued to fight with the minions while waving the knife in his hand.
Soon, most of the dozen or so minions fell to the ground, and the remaining few were timid and did not dare to go up.
They probably didn't expect Lu Qingtang to be so powerful. In fact, she was also trembling. It was only because of her courage to protect her child that she was so bold.
The second master fell to the ground and wailed, shouting "Go", but none of the timid minions came forward. They were afraid of becoming like the second master, causing blood all over the floor.
Lu Qingtang is also wary of these minions. She just wants a quick victory now. If the delay is too long and the bandits over there come to support, she won't be able to deal with it.
I just don't know how Shui Yunxi and the other three are doing, whether they are injured or captured.
At this moment, Mo Bao's cry suddenly came from behind, "Mom, save me!"
Lu Qingtang looked back and saw that the second-in-command had sneaked up behind her at some point, holding Su Mu with one hand and putting a knife on Mo Bao's neck.
Lu Qingtang was shocked, dropped the knife in his hand without thinking, and then made a gesture of surrender.
