C50 Chinese bandit
As Luo Mingshi thought about it, she stepped forward to apologize again. First Madame softly said, "No problem." Only then did they walk towards the foot of the mountain.
It was clearly easier to go down the mountain than it was to go up, but Luo Mingshi's mood right now was not as relaxed as it was to go up the mountain. She felt very melancholy in her heart, because she was about to return to the Luo Mansion and become the cautious Second Miss.
When everyone was somewhat tired and on the carriage, the carriage driver took the carriage and headed towards Luo Mansion. The four guards on horseback stood guard on either side of the carriage.
The atmosphere of the carriage was even more oppressive than before. For some reason, Madame Li had depression written all over her face, she was also sitting quietly with his eyes closed, Luo Mingxue seemed to be about to fall asleep.
Although Luo Mingshi wanted to ask Madame Li why she was depressed, she didn't want to say it out loud at this moment.
Unexpectedly, the carriage came to a screeching halt and shook violently. Everyone on the carriage woke up from their stupor.
First Madame was the first to open her eyes, opening the carriage's curtain, she asked: "Did something happen?"
The guards who were originally standing on either side of them now stood in a row in front of them with their backs to the crowd on the carriage. The coachman lowered his voice and said, "Madam, we've met bandits."
Everyone on the carriage were shocked, even the calm and composed First Madame was a little nervous, Luo Mingshi could only ask: "Do you clearly see how many people there are? Do you hold a sharp weapon? "
The coachman answered one by one, and with each word, everyone's heart sank a little, "About ten men, each holding a big saber. They are all big men, and you can tell by looking at them that they are practitioners."
The bandits would easily encounter bandits when they were walking on the mountain, but they then heard the coachman say with a slightly helpless tone, "I had long heard that there were bandits that roamed the Dragon Mountain. However, we are still quite a distance from the foot of the Dragon Mountain, and thus we met here."
Luo Mingshi frowned, bandits usually plundered money, but it was not like there were none that plundered sex. If the bandits were truly malicious, would the four guards be able to resist the dozen or so muscular guards? If they could not protect him, how could they protect themselves when all she saw were women and children?
Luo Mingshi then looked at the leader of the four guards and asked: "Are you sure you can take care of those bandits?"
That person seemed to be in a difficult position to speak, but he still spoke with some difficulty: "Second Miss, we are barely able to handle it in one versus two."
To be able to guard Luo Mansion, he had some ability. To be able to handle two big men alone, he was considered quite good, but in terms of numbers, he did not have the advantage. Even if the four of them could kill eight of them, what about the others?
The robbers on the other side of the road were also shouting towards them, "Who's carriage is that over there? "Leave some money and a little girl to spare your lives, hurry up."
His tone was arrogant and domineering, as if he had already predicted this outcome.
These words caused the people in the carriage to feel uneasy. The bandits were truly ludicrous. If they couldn't deal with them, wouldn't they end up in their hands?
By then, who could save them?
First Madame also frowned, sshe did not know what to do, he twisted her handkerchief but she did not say a word. Seeing Luo Mingshi looking over, she even helped to support Luo Mingshi a little, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, Aunt will protect you."
Luo Mingxue was so scared that she started to cry, and threw herself into First Madame's embrace. It was rare for First Madame to not scold her, and instead, hugged her even more tightly.
The mournful sounds of the carriage must have been heard by the guards outside. The lord had resigned himself to his fate and was waiting for his death.
The bandits were still shouting. Perhaps they had also discovered the woman in the carriage, so their words were even more obvious.
Luo Mingshi didn't feel good, the feeling of a human turning into meat with a knife in hand was terrible, but no matter how much she hated him, she could only watch as she fell, and at that moment, she could only save herself.
Luo Mingshi looked around, and then calmed herself down, and immediately instructed the guards: "In a while, don't be rash, just guard the road and don't let them in, no matter who came first or if they came together, all of you just attack the one in the front."
Since they were in a slightly higher location, if those bandits did not attack from the front, they would not be able to easily reach them from the side. Therefore, as long as they could protect the gap in front of them, they would be able to endure for a short period of time.
Finally, Luo Mingshi said to the guards, "The people you are able to enter my Luo Family to be my bodyguards are all capable people, they were all selected after going through layers and layers of selection, which one of you did not train in martial arts and grew up? What is there to fear about a mere boor in the mountains? "
At this moment, after listening to Luo Mingshi's narration of their hardships and hard work, the hardships they had experienced before seemed to have been acknowledged, and they had begun to regain their confidence.
Now that he heard her calm demeanor, it was as if he finally had a backbone. His originally impatient heart had also become firm.
Luo Mingshi continued to work hard, and asked sternly: "Now, all four of my Luo Mansion are entrusted to you, the four of you, may I ask if you can guarantee that you can protect the four of us?"
"This subordinate vows to protect Master Zhou Quan to the death." The clean voice was as loud and clear as a thunderclap, echoing through the sky. Even the smiling faces of the bandits opposite of him stiffened.
Only then did he slowly disperse the debauchery, and a little bit of vigilance appeared.
Immediately, both sides started to move, the Luo Mansion guards started to listen to Luo Mingshi's orders, defending and not attacking. The bandit only thought that the Luo Mansion guards were afraid, and a bandit brandished his big blade to slash towards them, but before he could even get close, he stood still, and fell.
There were four obvious wounds on his body, and he was fatally wounded. All of a sudden, the bandits behind the bandit frightened the other bandit who was charging forward with him.
The morale of the people on the Luo Mansion side rose sharply.
When the bandit leader saw this, he was angered and shouted, "Let's go together!"
For a moment, a group of bandits flocked over. Luo Mingshi saw with her sharp eyes that the footsteps of a guard was a bit unstable, so she immediately said in a heavy voice, "Steady!"
The guard also reflexively stomped his feet heavily. It was as Luo Mingshi had said, even if a group of people were to rush over, they would immediately follow Luo Mingshi's instructions and attack the first enemy together.
When the lightning blade and fire stone saw that the thief had lost four people, the bandit leader saw that the situation was not good and quickly shouted: "Retreat! "Retreat!"
In a short period of time, the two groups of people hurriedly separated again. They saw that there were already five corpses on the ground, with only nine bandits remaining, while the guards from Luo Mansion were completely unharmed.
The four guards also seemed to think that the result would be like this, and for a moment they were also happy. If this went on, perhaps they would be able to exterminate that Mountain Bandits.
Luo Mingshi remained calm as she said, "Steady."
His eyes, however, were fixated on the bandit chief's words. Luo Mingshi saw that the eyes of the Mountain Bandits had clearly revealed a vicious light, but they still held it in and did not move forward. It was obvious that they were brewing something.
Seeing that, Luo Mingshi unconsciously frowned, and also instructed the guards: "In a while, this battle will not be as easy as the ones in front, remember to be tactful, and to keep this pass."
