I am the stepmother of my son, and the little villain has changed into a little cotton-padded jacket

The scarred man's voice spread among the crowd, and the desperate criminals who were originally frightened by the Pei family's thugs suddenly became alert.

There was a gleam in everyone's eyes, and they all turned around and surrounded the carriage.

Pei Sheng, who was sitting in the carriage, tightly grasped the corner of the small table, so that he could barely keep his body stable.

He also heard the scarred man's voice and his expression suddenly became serious.

The guards standing outside the carriage were entangled by several bandits. As they watched them getting farther and farther away from the carriage, they became more and more worried about Pei Sheng's safety, but they had no way to get away and return to the carriage immediately.

A tall and thin bandit clenched the long knife in his hand and rushed towards the carriage when the opportunity arose.

He was still muttering: "Ten taels of silver, it's mine!"

Just as the knife with a cold glow was about to touch the carriage, the bandit was suddenly pierced through the chest by an arrow.

The bandit opened his eyes wide, and just before he fell, he looked down at the bow and arrow on his chest.

The rest of the people were so frightened by the sudden bow and arrow that they stopped moving. After all, they were a group of reckless men who only knew how to fight recklessly. Faced with the arrows with ultra-long-range attack capabilities, this group of bandits suddenly panicked.

The scarred leader was shocked when he saw his men pierced through the chest by arrows, bleeding all over the floor. The leader didn't say they would encounter archers. They only had long swords and short blades, which were no match for bows and arrows.

He began to feel like retreating and turned to look at everyone else, only to find that everyone had looks of shock and fear on their faces.

Before he could say anything, several arrows pierced the air and shot straight towards the bandits. In just a moment, several people fell to the ground.

The scarred man was immediately horrified and turned around and ran without thinking any more: "Retreat! Go!"

Hearing their leader's order, the other bandits turned around and fled the trail in a hurry.

The path where there were sounds of fighting just now became quiet in an instant.

The six secret guards returned to the carriage. One of them, a man in black, stood in front of the carriage and said respectfully, "Master, everyone has left."

Pei Sheng then lifted the curtain and walked out. He looked down at the bandit who was lying on the ground and had already died, and frowned.

Perhaps he saw Pei Sheng's confusion, the man in black lowered his head and said, "I don't know where the arrow came from, but it scared away those bandits."

Pei Sheng raised his head and looked around. The entire path was quiet, without any sound.

Where did these arrows come from?

Mu Zhu, who was sitting on a tree branch not far away, had a dogtail grass in his mouth and a bow in his hand. He shook his head as he looked at the bandits lying on the ground.

It seems that my archery skills are not rusty. I can shoot an arrow through the heart from such a distance. I must show off to those arrogant senior brothers in Yingge when I go back.

If the young master hadn't sent him to protect Young Master Pei, he wouldn't have bothered to come here from such a long distance.

As soon as he arrived, he heard the sound of fighting. When he looked carefully, he found that some bandits were approaching Pei Sheng's carriage.

Mu Zhu couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart that the secret guards around the eldest young master of the Pei family were not that good. They couldn't even deal with a few small minions.

Seeing that the danger was over, Mu Zhu stood up, dusted himself off, glanced at Pei Sheng's convoy, and found that the group had packed up their things and were on their way again.

He put away his bow and arrow and turned back to report.

Only one or two of the thugs brought by Pei Sheng suffered superficial knife wounds; the rest were safe and sound.

After dealing with the bodies of the bandits, Pei Sheng did not return home, but continued to head towards Qingshui Town.

He wanted to see what Pei Yu would do next. Pei Sheng really didn't expect that Pei Yu would collude with bandits to take his life.

After recognizing Pei Yu's ambition, the remaining brotherhood in Pei Sheng's heart disappeared, and he no longer had any previous hesitation.

After the scarred man retreated to his own stronghold, he was still a little scared about what had just happened. He couldn't imagine what would happen to him and his brothers if they continued to stay on that path.

"Brother, the people around that young master are here again." A younger brother ran in from outside, with a hint of nervousness in his voice.

The scarred man's eyes widened when he heard this. He slammed the table and stood up. "How dare he come here! This time I didn't get anything and I lost a lot of my brothers, and he still dared to come to me!"

Pei Yu's attendant walked in from outside. Seeing Scar so angry, he immediately had a bad feeling in his heart. He hurriedly stepped forward and smiled apologetically: "Don't be angry, Boss. Our young master didn't expect that this man would be so defensive. This is a little gift from our young master."

As he spoke, he held up a bulging bag of money in both hands.

Scar weighed the money bag, and the ferocious look on his face eased a little: "Humph, don't think you can get rid of me with such a small amount of money. I lost several brothers because of this. How do I account for this?"

"Don't worry, boss. Our young master will definitely not let you suffer any loss. But the assassination still has to continue." The follower said cautiously.

"Continue? Continue! Don't you know that Pei Sheng has archers by his side? If we go again, we will be seeking death." Scar said in a rough voice with his eyes glaring.

When the follower heard his bad tone, he didn't dare to say anything. He could only comfort Scar and then hurried back to the inn to report the result of the incident to Pei Yu.

Pei Yu was drinking tea calmly in the room, but after hearing what his follower said, he became so angry that he smashed the teacup in his hand.

"A bunch of rubbish! You can't even kill a person and yet you still have the nerve to call yourself a desperado!"

The follower lowered his head and dared not look directly at Pei Yu: "Scar said that there are people with bows and arrows around the young master. It seems that he has been on guard for a long time."

Pei Yu narrowed his eyes: "Have you been prepared?"

He immediately thought of Wen Shutang's face. Could it be that this woman had informed Pei Sheng?

"Has the woman from Daan Village left the village recently?"

"Master, our people have been guarding the village entrance and have not seen the woman leave the village." The follower answered truthfully.

Pei Yu lowered his head and touched his chin. She was just a crude village woman. How could she have the time and energy to go to Baiping Town to deliver a letter to Pei Sheng? He must have overthought it.

But this assassination failed, and there won’t be such a good opportunity to create an accident next time.

Thinking of this, Pei Yu was so angry that he couldn't help shaking. His eyes were heavy and his tone was cold: "Where is Pei Sheng now?"

"I don't know about that." The follower lowered his head and replied in a low voice.

Pei Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't you check it out right away!"
