Chapter 274: Fighting with Bandits
"I'm fine. I can protect myself. Otherwise, you adults wouldn't let me come here. Captain Fang, you should go somewhere else first. I don't need you to guard here." Shen Wanning said again.
Fang Huai's presence would be inconvenient for her to take out various weapons, and would be a bit of a hindrance.
Seeing Fang Huai still motionless, Shen Wanning pretended to be angry and said, "This county lord orders you to stay away from this county lord."
Fang Huai didn't dare to offend Shen Wanning, so he had to stay away from Shen Wanning with a wronged look on his face.
As the sky grew darker, Shen Wanning checked the time on her phone. It was already ten o'clock in the evening. In the distance, she saw several figures, hiding here and there, walking towards her.
"Boss, I've already asked around. Lin Jingyou went to Luotian Village today and it seems he hasn't come back yet." said a man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks.
The man he called "Boss" patted his head and said, "You need to tell me? We've already found out all this. But Lin Jingyou hasn't come back yet. It's not convenient for us to go to Luotian County Village, and we don't even know where he's staying tonight. It's not convenient for us to take action tonight."
"Boss, we can ambush him on his way back, and kill him with one knife when no one sees us." Another thief made a gesture of wiping his neck.
"Well, Cheng Liang is smart. I think so too. And I also found out the way to Luotian Village today. We will set off in the evening and ambush on the sparsely populated road. While Lin Jingyou is not prepared, we will directly deal with him." said the man called the boss.
"Yes, boss. You are still smart." One person said flatteringly.
"Let's go, we'll set off for Luotian Village now." said the boss.
The group was about to leave when suddenly the boss stopped and reached out to stop them. "Wait, I think I heard a noise. Let's hide first."
Shen Wanning hid behind the bushes, watching them. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw two people riding horses, slowly walking towards them.
"Xiao Luo, you people in Luotian Village are all hardworking. The wheat is almost harvested. I believe everyone will have a good harvest this year!" Lin Jingyou deliberately said loudly.
"Yes, thank you for your consideration and willingness to visit my village." Xiao Luo replied with a smile.
"After the wheat is harvested, we can plant rice. Not only will everyone have enough to eat this year, but we will also have surplus food! If there is extra food, I am willing to purchase some and save it as relief food." Lin Jingyou said again.
The thieves listened for a while, and then seemed to confirm Lin Jingyou's identity. The leader stepped forward and shouted, "I planted this tree, and I built this road. If you want to pass by here, leave some money for passage."
Seeing him stand out, the other nine people followed suit, each holding a large knife in their hands, which was very dazzling in the reflection of the moonlight.
Lin Jingyou and Xiao Luo stopped their horses. Lin Jingyou dismounted, bowed, and asked, "I wonder which hero is here? Could you please introduce your name?"
"Hmph, do you think you deserve to know my name? Hand over the money quickly, or I will blow your heads off." The leader said fiercely.
"Brothers, this is my subordinate. He has no money on him. Could you please let him go first? I am willing to hand over all the money I have." Lin Jingyou negotiated again.
"As a prisoner, what qualifications do you have to negotiate with us? Hurry up and hand over the money, or I will kill both of you!" said a younger brother.
Lin Jingyou hesitated for a moment and asked, "If I hand over all my belongings, will you really let us go?"
"That depends on my mood!" The leader carried the knife on his shoulder and kicked it against a tree nearby.
The yamen runner who was lying in ambush on the tree trembled and almost fell off the tree. Fortunately, he held on to the trunk tightly and avoided falling.
Lin Jingyou untied the purse from his waist and threw it to the leader. "This is all the money we have. We hope you can let us go."
The leader poured out all the money, dumped it directly onto the ground, and crushed it with his feet. Finally, he slammed the money bag to the ground and said, "They think they can get rid of us with such a small amount of money? They think we are beggars! Brothers, come on, search them and take out all their money."
As soon as he finished speaking, the others immediately swarmed over and pounced on the two of them.
"Surround and capture alive!"
At Lin Jingyou's command, the yamen runners lying in ambush all around immediately appeared and surrounded the ten thieves. The encirclement became smaller and smaller, and the sudden change made the ten thieves stunned.
The leader laughed and said, "Lin Jingyou, you don't think you can catch us with just a few of us, do you? Since you can see through our identities, we can't let these people stay!"
"Who sent you? If you are willing to confess, I am willing to spare your lives!" Lin Jingyou said to them.
"No one sent us here. We are just a group of homeless bandits. We met you by chance and failed to rob you, so we wanted to kill you to silence you." The leader said directly.
"We have six times as many people as you do. You'd better surrender! Otherwise, if a fight breaks out, we can't guarantee that we won't hurt you!" Lin Jingyou continued.
If he could capture them directly without hurting a single soldier, then he would naturally be willing to use this method. After all, he didn't want these yamen runners to get hurt.
"Then come on, do you think these trash can hurt us? Haha, how naive!" The leader said this and said no more.
The two groups quickly started fighting. Shen Wanning hid in the dark, took out a tranquilizer gun, and kept changing directions.
However, the two groups were too close to each other, and she had not received professional training. She was worried that the shot would miss and hit one of her own people, so she hesitated to take action.
Shen Wanning hid behind a tree and could hear screams all the time. She didn't know whether they were coming from the yamen runners or the thieves.
As expected of General Huaihua's men, their skills were indeed quite good. Even if they were outnumbered six at once, they could handle it with ease.
This was Shen Wanning's first time seeing the ancient light Kung Fu, but at this moment she had no other emotions except nervousness.
Seeing that more and more yamen runners fell on their side, and a thief rushed towards Lin Jingyou, Shen Wanning didn't care about exposing herself.
She stood up and yelled, "Third brother, be careful!"
As she spoke, she ran towards Lin Jingyou. Seeing that the thief was getting closer and closer to Lin Jingyou, Shen Wanning's heart was lifted high.
The thief raised his sword and chopped at Lin Jingyou.
"Third brother, get out of the way!" Shen Wanning shouted again.
