SFS Chapter 201 Robbers
Chapter 201 Robbers
The carriage was carrying Bei Jingchu's clothes, and the wheels were rumbling along the official road.
However, Bei Jingchu himself thought the carriage was too slow, so he took a smaller horse and led his guards directly to Dezhou.
Bei Hua, Haoyue and others couldn't catch up and could only chase after them by car.
Only Lei Nian'er followed Bei Jingchu and rode away on horseback.
Fortunately, the temple they started from was very close to Texas.
The road was dusty and we rode for two hours straight.
When they arrived in Texas, Bei Jingchu's legs were shaking and her butt was sore from the shaking!
Even so, she didn't dare to stop.
He sent someone to deliver the letter to the Dezhou government, while he himself took his men and continued riding towards the direction of the destination, toward the suburban mountains and forests.
In the robbers' den, a dirty hand pinched Xu Xinshu's chin.
"This woman is so rough and dark, I don't even want to sleep with her."
"Just give it to the brothers to play with."
The minions cheered: "Thank you, Boss!"
Xu Xinshu clenched her fists in panic, suppressed the fear in her heart, and forced herself to calm down.
It's okay, it's okay.
Keep yourself alive first, staying alive is the most important thing.
The rough cloth covering her mouth was pulled away.
Xu Xinshu was finally able to speak, and shouted anxiously: "Do you know who I am? I am the Shaoqing of Sinong Temple, an official appointed by the imperial court."
"If you disrespect me, I will punish you and everyone in your village will die!"
She said this with great force and authority.
Everyone around was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
The leader of the bandits laughed heartily while sitting on the straw chair: "This is so funny! They don't even know how to make up a lie to scare people."
“The imperial official hahahaha!”
"How can there be a woman who is an official? Women can't even be clerks."
The bandit leader clicked his tongue in disdain and shook his head, saying, "This woman is not only ugly, she's also crazy."
Xu Xinshu didn't expect that this group of robbers had such isolated sources of information.
Of course, if she could escape, she would be able to crush these bandits to ashes.
But now, she still wanted to try not to suffer too much.
Moreover, if these vicious bandits really fell into their hands.
It is hard to say whether he can save his life in the end.
"I am in charge of farming, so I don't wear brocade and silk."
"But I still have a token on my waist. You can see it if you don't believe me."
The robber touched her waist to look for the token and took the opportunity to take advantage of her. Xu Xinshu felt disgusted.
But she just gritted her teeth and endured it.
When she leaves here, she will definitely ask the governor to send troops to wipe out this bandit den.
A minion noticed that a shadow seemed to flash outside the house.
But he didn't care, thinking it was just a small animal in the suburbs.
The robber handed the token to the leader.
The token was exquisite, with the patterns, name, and official title clearly and in detail.
Although the robber was illiterate, he could realize that it was not an ordinary thing.
He was terrified.
He carefully looked at the woman in front of him.
She was wearing the most ordinary coarse linen clothes, and her face and skin looked exactly like an ordinary peasant woman.
There is really no sign of being pampered.
He must have been deceived, right?
Touching the lines on the token, the bandit leader hesitated and said, "Lock her up in the woodshed first."
Outside, Yan Zhong told Bei Jingchu what he saw: "Xu Shaoqing was alone, without any guards."
"Being tied up and locked in the woodshed is fine for now."
"It's just a small village with not many people. It's just a mob. The people we brought can definitely take it down."
Bei Jingchu nodded and said, "You lead the way later. Let's go straight to the firewood room where Xu Shaoqing is imprisoned."
"If we rescue him, we won't have to worry about them using Xu Shaoqing as a hostage."
Yan Zhong returned to the team, but it was difficult to ride a horse in the mountains.
The horses were tied at the foot of the mountain and the group walked over.
After the group left, many more people came to the land that had been stepped on.
Their faces were covered tightly, leaving only a pair of gloomy eyes exposed.
A strange voice came out from one of them, and they followed the trail and approached the village.
As Bei Jingchu was leading his men on the way, Yan Chao walked up to Yan Zhong with a serious look on his face.
"Yan Zhong, as a secret guard, you must always stay by the princess' side."
"How could the princess ask you to get information and you just listened to her?"
"Have you forgotten your master's orders?"
Yan Wei was still wearing a mask, so his expression couldn't be seen clearly.
He just said, "Aren't you still here?"
"When I rest on weekdays, you will be the only one protecting the princess."
Yan Chao retorted: "How can they be the same?"
"According to the rules, we are not allowed to leave the princess's side except when we are resting."
"Yan Zhong, you have something to do."
Yan Wei did not answer.
They had already arrived in front of the village, and Yan Chao had no chance to ask any more questions.
Bei Jingchu led his men and charged straight in.
For a well-trained guard team, dealing with a group of rabble is as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.
In the village, the bandit leader was hesitating while holding Xu Xinshu's official seal. The next moment, he was caught and tied up by a guard who rushed in.
In the woodshed far away, a short, fat man covered with fleas and with a lustful face walked towards Xu Xinshu step by step.
"Little girl, I, your grandpa, have never touched a woman."
Xu Xinshu warned cautiously: "Your boss said not to touch me!"
"Our boss only said to throw you into the woodshed, but he didn't say that we can't let the brothers go."
"You will be used by us sooner or later. I am just the first one to come."
Xu Xinshu tilted her head and still smelled his bad breath.
Innocence and all that is secondary, at this moment I just feel disgusted.
With a "bang", the flimsy wooden door was kicked open.
With a sound of breaking through the air, the bandit on her body fell heavily to the ground.
By the door, the sunlight slanted in the doorway and sprinkled on the little girl.
She lowered her right hand and held the bow in her left hand, having apparently just shot an arrow.
Xu Xinshu turned her head again in the same direction, and saw that the arrow had pierced the back of the bandit's head, with only a short tail feather sticking out.
It's a whole run-through.
"Sister Xu!"
The little girl called her and ran in, lifting her skirt.
She pulled out the guard's knife and used it to pick at the hemp rope that tied her up.
The hemp rope unravelled.
Xu Xinshu struggled to free her hands and feet.
She asked, "How did you end up alone in a robber's den?"
"Where are your guards?"
Speaking of this, Xu Xinshu was even more frightened. She felt that she was really unlucky.
I have to go burn incense and pray someday.
"I was doing fine in the field, and on the way to the post station, I passed a small path."
"Suddenly a group of people rushed out."
"I thought they were assassins, but it turned out they were trying to kidnap me."
"Perhaps it's because they came prepared, and the guards were no match for them."
“I almost got pulled into their car.”
"A few guards snatched me back and then helped me escape."
"The last one also separated from me in order to divert the pursuers."
"Originally, it seemed that we were only two steps away from Dezhou, so we could go to the governor for help."
"But things didn't go as planned, and we encountered bandits again."
Bei Jing was terrified when she first heard this.
【Kidnapped? 】
[Can break through the guards' heavy protection and directly kidnap Xu Xinshu. 】
[And kidnapping Xu Xinshu must be useful to them. ]
[Either it's Xu Xinshu's own talent, or it's a threat to the Xu family, or it's a threat to Yue Chao. ]
Bei Jingchu was just thinking about it when Lei Nian'er said, "Your Highness, I suspect it's someone from a foreign country."
"Abducting Xu Shaoqing will definitely offend Dai Yue."
"And now, I am not afraid of offending Daiyue and I have the strength to compete with him..."
"I think it's Thunin."
Bei Jingchu: [In fact, the Yue Dynasty has already adopted firearms. If the production speed ordered by Aye is not delayed, Tu Ning will not be able to compete with the Yue Dynasty~]
【But keep it confidential. 】
Bei Jingchu pursed her lips and held back.
Lei Nian'er: ...It's okay, I know.
Seeing Bei Jingchu, Xu Xinshu lowered her head in shame and said, "I have failed your Highness's trust."
"You didn't have a chance to find the fish maw you mentioned, and you put yourself in danger."
"Let His Highness come down..."
"How did Your Highness know that I was in danger and came to this village?"
Bei Jingchu:......
【Wait, let me think about how to edit it. 】
After a few breaths, Bei Jingchu straightened her chest and said confidently, "This princess heard that there are bandit problems in Dezhou and the people are deeply resentful."
"So I had a kind heart and came to suppress the bandits."
Xu Xinshu had no doubts: "Your Highness is truly kind."
