In the wilderness, a carriage was stuck in a hole, with several horses circling outside the carriage, but no one was stopping around the carriage.

Suddenly! In the woods in the distance, a flock of birds flew by for no apparent reason, and soon the sound of fighting could be heard one after another, echoing all over the place.

"This girl is actually a martial artist, I didn't realize that." One of them said viciously, and chopped down with the knife in his hand. The pressure brought by the blade pointed directly at Lian Xi.

Feeling an inexplicable chill coming from behind, Lian Xi was startled and raised the sword in his hand to block it. He heard the collision of swords and was surprised to hear a soft hum.

“Swish!~”

The oxtail knife in the yamen runner's hand broke with a sound. Liu Qing, who was watching the fight, looked at the broken knife in his subordinate's hand and frowned, saying, "This sword is made of diamond. How can a maid have such a skill?"

Uncle Qin also seized the opportunity and instantly sent several people flying with his sword. However, the gap between the enemy and us was too big, and after several battles, the two of them were still somewhat powerless.

"Xi girl! We are the ones who are at a disadvantage in this round-robin battle. I will clear a path for you to escape and you can run out and join the young lady first."

"Uncle Qin! Do you think we can get out?"

As Lian Xi spoke, he looked at Liu Qing who was watching the fight from the outside and said, "This guy is a master. If he attacks, it will definitely be a killing move. Let's work together to break his plan first."

Uncle Qin naturally understood that the only master present was probably Liu Qing. If he was still in his prime, fighting Liu Qing one-on-one would be no problem, but now these yamen runners had already consumed most of his strength.

Uncle Qin swung his sword back and knocked away the incoming enemy again. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he hurriedly moved towards Lian Xi. The two of them leaned against each other with their backs to each other, carefully guarding against the people in front of them.

"I didn't expect you two to be so calm now. If you weren't my enemy, I might be able to recruit you two to serve me. It's a pity that you know too much."

"Brother! Why are you talking to him so much? Just kill him and go join my fourth brother and the others." said one of the burly men.

"Don't be impatient. They are already trapped in a jar. They will be eaten sooner or later." Liu Qing said with a slight smile, a hint of amusement on his face, and joined the battle with a knife in hand.

Liu Qing made a move, knocking over Lian Xi's sword and pointing it directly at Uncle Qin. Uncle Qin suddenly felt a chill on his back, and the blade changed from attack to defense, wrapping around his waist and neck to cover his vital points.

Both of them had consumed a lot of energy in the early stages. Although Uncle Qin fought back, he was ultimately unable to withstand the might of the broadsword, and his back was instantly stained with blood.

"Uncle Qin!" Lian Xi secretly cried out in dismay upon seeing this.

She knew that if they continued like this, they would both die. At this moment, Lian Xi noticed the carriage not far away and immediately came up with an idea.

"Uncle Qin! Let's go."

While Lian Xi was speaking, he took out two more thunder and fire bombs from his arms and threw them to the two men respectively. With a muffled "puff" sound, billowing dust and smoke suddenly appeared in the dense forest.

"This girl is so cunning. How many thunder and fire bombs do they have? Doesn't the Fuwei Escort Agency never sell this stuff to outsiders?" someone said indignantly.

Soon! He heard the sound of horse hooves coming from outside the dense forest. Liu Qing thought it was not good and rushed out of the smoke in a hurry.

Looking at the two horses going away, Liu Qing's face was terribly gloomy. He gnashed his teeth and shouted, "Chase! We can't let them get away!"

The drama of chasing each other unfolded again on the official road. As Uncle Qin was seriously injured and dared not let his horse run too fast, the two men who originally had the upper hand gradually lost their advantage.

After running for half an incense stick of time, the two men and their horses came to the fork in the road again. Lian Xi looked at the two official roads, and one of them with obvious wheel tracks caught her attention.

"The young lady took this official road."

Lian Xi pointed to the road on the left while speaking. Hearing the clear sound of horse hooves behind him, he immediately looked at Uncle Qin and said, "Uncle Qin! Go find the young lady, and leave the rest to me."

"Okay! Be careful." Uncle Qin reined in his horse without hesitation.

Watching Uncle Qin's back gradually disappear, Lian Xi did not ride away on his horse. Instead, he waited for a few breaths and then galloped towards the official road on the right.

As soon as Liu Qing and his group turned the corner, they saw Lian Xi's back. Without hesitation, they rushed along the official road on the right, following Lian Xi's afterimage.

The horses galloped, instantly raising clouds of dust. Lian Xi listened to the clear sound of horse hooves behind him, secretly thinking of a strategy to get rid of the pursuers behind him.

Unexpectedly! There is always a way out. When Lian Xi rode over a hill, he saw a few tents scattered on both sides of the mountain road.

The word "Fuwei" on one of the tents was particularly eye-catching, which instantly made Lian Xi feel the warmth of family. He immediately rode his horse and jumped over the barricade.

"Hey!~"

Lian Xi immediately stopped her horse and instantly attracted forty or fifty people, all armed with weapons, to surround her.

"Miss! This is the headquarters of the Fuwei Escort Agency. If you want to stay overnight, you may have found the wrong place." A burly man held the hilt of a knife in his left hand and pushed away the escort who was blocking his way while speaking.

"Didn't ask for advice?"

Lian Xi bowed as a greeting, with a carefree demeanor that only people of the world could muster, which inevitably made the burly man feel a bit favorable towards her.

"I am Song Zhen, the head of Fuwei Escort Agency."

As soon as Song Zhen finished speaking, Liu Qing and his group arrived on horseback. Seeing Lian Xi surrounded by heavy enemies, he felt a lot more at ease.

Song Zhen glanced at Liu Qing and his group, then looked at Lian Xi and said, "Little girl! They are from the government office, but are they here for you?"

"That's right! We are here in Gu County today to investigate a case and arrest thieves. You should stay out of this mess." While speaking, Liu Qing signaled the bailiffs behind him to go and arrest the man.

Song Zhen obviously didn't believe what Liu Qing said, but it was the purpose of the Fuwei Escort Agency that the people should not fight against the officials, so he didn't stop him.

Seeing that several yamen runners were about to rush in, Lian Xi immediately took out a token from his arms and threw it to Song Zhen with his back to Liu Qing.

"Yeah!~"

Song Zhen took the token with a puzzled look on his face. He checked it over and over again and his expression changed drastically. Just as the yamen runners were about to rush in, Song Zhen immediately shouted, "Stop them."

In an instant, the spear tip changed direction and pointed at Liu Qing and his group, and dozens of archers were ready to attack on the side.

It's as if he's saying, if you dare to take a step forward, your life or death will be in my hands.

Liu Qing looked at Song Zhen angrily and said, "The Fuwei Escort Agency dared to harbor bandits. Are they going against the imperial court?"

Song Zhen looked at Liu Qing and smiled without saying anything. He then returned the token in his hand to Lian Xi and said, "I wonder if the master is at Jinghu South Road?"

"I don't know the whereabouts of the master of the family. I was also ordered to protect a young lady, but this evil official forcibly labeled me as a bandit, so the things the master ordered have not been completed yet."

"Oh! That's the truth."

Song Zhen narrowed his eyes and after thinking for a moment, he couldn't help but ask, "What do you want me to do, girl?"

Liu Qing felt his scalp tingling when he heard this. He knew that with the number and reputation of the Fuwei Escort Agency, they were probably no match for them, and there were more than a dozen archers around them, ready to shoot.

It was impossible to say that if they made the slightest move, they would be shot into a hornet's nest. Several people gathered together and looked at Song Zhen with some fear.
