Ambushed
Outside the carriage, there was a clanging sound, which was Yin Jinyuan and the servants of the Yin family fighting with others. The Yin family was a martial arts household, and the servants in the house, especially those who were born into servitude, could all practice a few moves. Although they couldn't compare to masters, they were much stronger than ordinary farmers.
Yin Ruofei lifted the curtain of the horse carriage and jumped out. Jin Yuan roared with anger, telling him to go back.
Yin Ruofei curled his lip, it's only dangerous when you go in, being stabbed to death without knowing who did it. Soon, the family guards surrounded him for protection, and Yin Ruofei himself took up a sword, fending off the occasional fierce bandit who rushed in.
Fortunately, there were not many of these fierce bandits. Seeing that everyone was resisting with all their might, they hastily retreated.
Yin Ruofei looked at everyone's situation, Yin Jinyuan's expression was somewhat gloomy, and he ordered the injured people to bandage quickly.
Three carriages, the one in front had been hacked to pieces, and that was where Rixiang, Rihua, and Riyue sisters were riding. Rixin followed Lin Shi, mother and daughter in the second carriage.
Yin Jinyuan and Yin Ruofei exchanged a glance, gave up the third carriage to let their sisters use it, and they pulled over a servant's horse and rode on.
It's impossible to continue up the mountain, so everyone had to turn back and return to Hou Fu. Yin Jinyuan's face was ashen, because he discovered that this path up the mountain was a previously unknown detour, which he hadn't noticed much in the carriage just now. Even if something happened here, it's likely no one would know. With this discovery, Yin Jinyuan felt even more uneasy, feeling that things weren't over yet.
Subconsciously, Yin Jinyuan pulled his younger brother closer to him, "Little brother, slow down your ride, be careful."
"Got it." Yin Ruofei hadn't ridden a horse many times, and all of them were just circling around the yard. Fortunately, these horses were domesticated, gentle in nature, and not fast, so Yin Ruofei wasn't worried at all.
Because several people were injured, the atmosphere in the team was very depressing. Yin Jinyuan's anxiety grew more and more uneasy. Suddenly, another scream was heard, and the horse carriage at the front suddenly rushed forward quickly, followed by the second horse carriage rushing out in the same way.
Yin Jinyuan's face flashed with anger, and he spurred his horse to chase after him. Many servants also rushed forward. Yin Ruofei was looking ahead when she felt her horse suddenly startled, its head hit by something, and both the horse and rider charged out. The servants behind were stunned, but they quickly urged their horses to catch up, only to find that Yin Ruofei's horse had bolted and disappeared from sight.
Yin Ruofei almost cried out in fright, this was his first time riding a horse at full gallop, how did he end up running into this situation? However, it was no longer something he could control at this point, and he discovered that the direction he and Yin Jinyuan were heading towards were not the same.
Yin Ruofei's whole body was almost upside down, if he hadn't been practicing his fist recently, his wrist strength was still good, and he would have been thrown off because he couldn't hold onto the horse reins. It's not a good thing to be thrown out in this place, unfortunately hitting the rocks, not even leaving a complete corpse that could be held.
In a short time, the people around him had been shaken off clean, and when the horse calmed down, they were already at the foot of the mountain.
Yin Ruofei let out a sigh of relief and finally calmed down, planning to take a break, when suddenly several people burst out from around them. Upon closer inspection, weren't these the very bandits who had just robbed them?
Yin Ruofei suddenly thought of his horse being startled and hit on the head, it seemed that it was that one hit that made his horse deviate from its direction.
What a waste of effort!
Yin Ruofei sneered, watching as several men approached him with sinister smiles. Yin Ruofei gritted his teeth and kicked the horse's belly twice, causing it to bolt forward again in pain. The bandits were taken aback for a moment before cursing and giving chase.
Damn it, I'd rather ride a startled horse to death than fall into your hands!
The startled horse galloped wildly, and Yin Ruofei could no longer control it. His mind was a complete blank as he let the horse run, unaware that in just a short time, they had already reached the city gate.
"Oh heavens! Runaway horse!" The city gate was in a state of chaos, but no one dared to stop it, and the horse rushed into the city. The several fierce bandits who followed also broke in, and for a time, the city gate was in an uproar with people and horses toppling over.
Yin Ruofei galloped wildly, shouting loudly for people to get out of the way. His throat was almost hoarse from yelling, but the horse's speed was too fast and some people couldn't dodge in time. Yin Ruofei pulled hard on the reins, the horse let out a loud whinny, raised its two front legs high into the air, and flipped Yin Ruofei off with all its might.
Just as they were about to collide and blood would flow, Yin Ruofei had mentally prepared herself to faint from the impact, but was instead caught by someone who stretched out a hand to grab her around the waist and put her on the ground, while the horse was also subdued at the same time.
"Good little kid, let you run!" Several fierce bandits saw Yin Ruofei finally stop, with twisted grins on their faces, and hacked down at him with the wooden knives in their hands.
"When the street kills, it's arrogant. Take me down." A lazy voice that was extremely lazy sounded, and Yin Ruofei turned around in a daze, but surprisingly also accurately found the source of the sound. Behind the crowd, an extremely luxurious carriage stopped there, with more than 20 people standing on both sides, dressed in the same attire. Judging from the voice, it was the person sitting inside the carriage.
The people around saw that things were not going well and all fled to hide, leaving only these people in the field, looking very strange.
It was almost the moment when the sound fell, and the two guards in front of them moved, with changing moves that were dazzling to the eye, but the time was very short, and several people were taken down.
"My lord, what shall we do?" a guard beside the carriage asked in a low voice.
"Throw her out at the gate of Jingzhao Yamen, and by the way... huh?" The person in the carriage paused for a moment, "Bring that little girl to me!"
The guard responded with a sound and ordered others to be sent to the Jingzhao government, while he himself walked towards Yin Ruofei.
With a few coughs, the fierce bandit spat out black blood. It seemed that he had died from poisoning. Before Yin Ruofei could react to everything in front of him, he was quickly poked several times on his body by the guard who walked towards him, clamped under his arm and sent into the carriage.
"The bandit has taken poison and killed himself."
"Then send the corpse over and let the Prefect of Jingzhao investigate." A lazy, slow voice echoed above Yin Ruofei's head. He tried to lift his head to look, but found that he couldn't move at all.
"What a pretty little girl!" The carriage moved slowly, and Yin Ruofei finally saw the owner of the voice. It was an extremely beautiful young boy, about twelve or thirteen years old. If it weren't for his slightly low voice, he would have almost mistaken him for a girl.
"Hmm, you're so beautiful, why don't I just make you my concubine?" The young man slowly lowered his head and whispered in Yin Ruofei's ear. "First, let me kiss you."
"I, I'm a man!" Yin Ruofei looked at the opponent's pressing head in horror, nervously swallowing his saliva.
"Don't believe it, how can a boy grow up like you?" The young man curved the corners of his mouth, revealing a hint of evil.
"...there are people like you, why can't there be people like me?!" Yin Ruofei cursed in his heart, but didn't dare say it out loud. He couldn't even move now, he was at the mercy of others, so he could only speak obediently and humbly, "I'm really a man."
"Then I'll touch..."
"Touch... touch?" Yin Ruofei almost choked on his own saliva, staring blankly as the young man reached out to his chest, and he couldn't help but start shouting for help.
"Master?" A familiar voice asked from outside the carriage.
The young man was already laughing with his head thrown back and forth, Yin Ruofei had been scared stiff, having just escaped from being chased to death, only to encounter a madman.
The guard vaguely heard the laughter inside and knew that his master was bullying someone again, so he touched his nose and retreated quietly.
Inside the carriage, Yin Ruofei looked at him silently, "Let me go, I can't be your concubine."
"Hmph." The young man had just stopped laughing and couldn't help but laugh again upon hearing this.
Yin Ruofei looked at the other party with a bewildered expression, wondering what he had said that was so laughable. The other party was obviously a madman, and a powerful one at that, or else they wouldn't have brought out so many skilled guards.
Those guards are really skilled in martial arts, and there's also the one who just pressed his acupoint earlier, could it be the legendary Dim Mak?
Yin Ruofei's heart skipped a beat.
He and Jin Yuan have been learning martial arts for so many days, and it's nothing more than practicing hard to master the fist method, and then practicing swordsmanship. What he learned was naturally basic and superficial, but Jin Yuan's swordsmanship, although looking more intricate and skilled than his, wasn't as fierce as those few guards just now.
Sometimes Jin Yuan would talk to him about fist and footwork, and mention the lightness skills, acupoint striking, and hidden weapons of the martial arts world, but since he was in the Marquis's residence, he had never seen any of these things. Now that he had seen a few moves, his heart itched even more. When would he be able to master such martial arts?
"Hey?" A somewhat dissatisfied voice sounded in Yin Ruofei's ear. Yin Ruofei looked up to see that the young man's eyes were somewhat cold and curious.
"What?" What did the young man just say? Yin Ruofei didn't hear a single word.
"Who would have thought that someone could think of something else in front of me?" The young man snorted, exuding a sense of dominance, and lightly raised his arm, causing the sleeve with intricate embroidery to flash before Yin Ruofei's eyes. "Whose kid are you? I'll send you back home."
"I..." Yan Ruo Fei hesitated, should he tell the truth? The other person didn't seem like a good guy...
Perhaps it was Yin Ruofei's expression that was too obvious, and the young man had another mischievous idea, "Although the person who just chased and killed you is dead, it doesn't mean there won't be a second wave."
Yin Ruofei's eyes suddenly widened, but no, just now his horse head was hit by someone, doesn't that prove that there is someone lurking in the dark?
Thinking of this, Yin Ruofei's expression changed immediately, "Trouble the young master to send me to the Town Jiang Hou Mansion, my family will definitely thank you heavily."
"Zhenjiang Marquis's Manor?" The young man read these few words with a playful tone, "What is your relationship to him?"
"I'm just a small servant who cooks for his family... Ah yo!"
The young man withdrew his hand, which was pinching Yin Ruofei's small face. "A little servant who cooks fires has such tender cheeks and looks so beautiful, dressed so well! Why don't you just not go home? I'll give your family ten taels of silver, and you can follow me back home as my concubine!"
The author has something to say: Tomorrow V... Everyone get ready, those with money can splurge and buy a ticket, those without money can recharge and buy a ticket, hahaha. [Don't click on my face anymore...]
The lazy and cunning little villain has finally appeared...
Why say so much?
That's because from today on, the little Shou will be dyed black bit by bit by the little Gong, becoming a seemingly gentle and courteous gentleman with a black heart. This pair of dog men will hypocritically overthrow everything and everyone who opposes them...... Pfft, I'm just kidding, don't take it seriously!
