The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei

Chapter 154 Cutting out the roots

In the bloodbath on Cuiping Peak, the Fuwei Escort Agency took advantage of its weapons and unilaterally crushed the enemy, forcing the bandits to flee in fear, not daring to move forward.

In the past, the escorts would have rushed forward to fight with the opponent. But the escort agency has a clear rule, which is to save your life first before killing.

All actions must minimize risk.

At first they were also very reluctant, thinking it was unfair. But after a while, they felt very happy, after all, who wants to die when they can live?

As the wailing stopped, Xiang Lin raised his hand and waved it to order the escorts to go and check to prevent the bandits from making any more moves in secret.

After a round of inspection, no one was found alive. Of course, except for the bandits who had confessed earlier, the bandit rebellion in Cuiping Mountain had been fundamentally resolved.

"You guys take him to the mountain stronghold, rescue the kidnapped people, and then meet up at the inn ahead."

"Yes!" an escort replied with a bow.

Immediately! He walked towards the unconscious bandit and gently stepped on his wrist, causing the originally unconscious bandit to wake up instantly due to the pain.

"Hi!~"

The bandit could not help but gasp, and looked at the newcomer pleadingly, "Please spare me, sirs. Just treat me as a fart and let me go."

"It's easy to let you go. Just take us to the village."

"Mountain... village?"

"What? You don't want to?" The escort frowned and asked in a cold voice.

The bandit was unwilling to hear this and begged for mercy, saying, "I will lead the way for you gentlemen. Please follow me."

"What's your name?"

The escort suddenly asked a question, but the bandit was not alert at all. As soon as he uttered the word "small", a pill was instantly taken into his mouth through the air.

The bandit swallowed his saliva subconsciously and swallowed the pill into his stomach by chance.

Looking at the bandit's terrified expression, the escort laughed coldly: "Lead the way carefully, don't play any tricks on me. After we rescue the person, we will give you the antidote."

"Okay... okay." The bandit nodded repeatedly.

Even though he had a thousand thoughts at the moment, he had already fallen into the opponent's trap and could only suppress the little thoughts in his mind.

The escorts were so cautious because they were bound by the regulations of the escort agency. After all, they were going to the enemy's territory, so how could they save their lives without some tricks?

Xie Shuting was sitting in the carriage. Through the bronze mirror next to the window, she saw the bodyguards cleaning up the battlefield, and she knew that the matter was resolved.

Immediately! He knocked on the car window and said, "Xi'er! It's getting dark. Let's wait for him at the post station ahead."

"Yes, Miss." Lian Xi responded and drove the carriage forward quickly.

Soon! The carriage crossed the Cuiping Mountains and entered Laigu County. On the mountainside, Lian Xi could see the post station in the valley from a distance.

Although the post station was visible to the naked eye, Lian Xi knew that it would take at least two hours to reach the station.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Lian Xi was worried that there might be wild beasts in the valley, so he did not dare to delay and whipped the horse to speed up the carriage.

Sure enough, after two hours of bumpy ride, under the cover of moonlight, Lian Xi finally drove the carriage to the outside of the post station.

"Hey!~"

Lian Xi pulled the reins and stopped, looking towards the carriage road: "Miss! We are here."

"Yeah!~"

Xie Shuting responded, lifted the curtain and got off the carriage with the help of Lian Xi. As soon as the two of them stood still, they saw a middle-aged man in yamen uniform coming out quickly.

"Are you two from Cuiping Peak?" the bailiff asked.

"Yeah!~"

Lian Xi nodded in response to the other party's question, and then took out the official certificate from his arms and said, "This is the family of Mr. Xie, the county magistrate of Laigu County. Please help us make room for a room upstairs."

The yamen runner raised his hand to push the letter back, and smiled and gestured: "Since you are Mr. Xie's family, I am not qualified to check it. Please!"

"Thank you!" Xie Shuting nodded slightly.

The bailiff did not dare to delay and led the two of them directly to the guest rooms on the second floor. Although Xie Shuting was wearing a veil, she obviously caused quite a commotion when she entered the hall.

"This girl is pretty!"

"you saw it?"

"Don't worry! You see her maid is pretty, so I am sure I am not bad either. It's a pity that she is wearing a veil, otherwise I would definitely be able to see her face."

"I see..." Before a person could even finish his words, he was seen staring at the door with eyes as big as bells.

The other person also looked back in surprise. It was not a big deal that they were frightened so much that they stepped back one after another, and the scene instantly became tense.

The people who came were none other than Xiang Lin and his group who had previously cleaned up the battlefield.

Fortunately, the old postmaster at the counter had seen a lot of things, and he quickly came over and bowed, saying, "How about this, guys..."

Upon hearing this, an escort stepped forward slowly, bowed and said, "We are going from Qinghe County to Laigu County to do business. We were delayed in the mountains for some time. We were worried about traveling at night, so we thought of staying here for the night."

"Oh!~"

The old postmaster nodded with deep feeling and said: "There is a group of bandits on Cuiping Peak, and they are all preparing to form a group..."

When the old postmaster said this, his expression changed slightly. He looked at Xiang Lin and his group with a hint of doubt between his brows, as if he had some guesses in his mind.

"Did you encounter bandits on Cuiping Peak?" the old postmaster asked in a low voice.

"We did encounter them, but they have been wiped out by us."

As the escort spoke, he took out a silver ingot from his bosom, slowly placed it in the hands of the old postmaster, and said, "Take good care of us. Prepare some food and find two rooms for the women outside to rest. I don't have any other requests."

The old postmaster shook the silver ingot between his fingers and realized that the silver was about one or two taels. He immediately winked at the yamen runners at the door.

The latter understood and quickly squeezed out of the door to make arrangements. But when they saw the people in the yard, they were also extremely shocked.

Twenty to thirty women plus twenty to thirty strong men surrounded the small courtyard, making it impossible to get in or out. The yamen runners were numbed by the sight.

It was nothing else but the clothes of these twenty or thirty women were not only uncoordinated, but some were also tattered and full of patches.

What’s worse, some people were wearing men’s clothes, which looked like a real scene of fleeing.

The bailiff did not dare to delay and squeezed in through the crack in the door again. He whispered a few words in the old postmaster's ear and then quietly pushed him aside.

The old postmaster looked at the escorts in front of him and felt very nervous, but due to government regulations, he could only ask a symbolic question.

"How many people! The one outside the door is..."

When the escort saw the old postmaster's expression, he knew that the other party might have misunderstood, so he hurriedly explained a few words, fearing that there would be any misunderstanding.
