The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 237 Take Us With You (1)

Seeing Xiaoqing starting to act from the corner of his eye, Yang Qi quickly got up from the ground and followed the soldiers. It was his only way to get through the bandit hill.

Seeing these soldiers about to arrive, Xiaoqing swallowed, closed her eyes, and threw herself towards the horse of the leading soldier with all her might.

Xiaoqing and Ma Ti were getting closer and closer, ten inches, nine inches, eight inches... Yang Qi was terrified, staring at Xiaoqing's movements, and for a moment, he almost forgot to breathe.

When the horse's hooves were about to step on Xiaoqing's head, the leading man pulled the reins, and the brown horse rode over Xiaoqing's head. Then he turned the horse around and stared at Yangqi and Xiaoqing fiercely.

The officers and soldiers behind grabbed the horse reins and the horse stopped.

A younger officer was the first to lose his seat and shouted, "You two unruly people, are you trying to kill yourself?" Are you trying to scam me?

Frightened by the look in the leading man's eyes, Xiaoqing shrank her neck, but she immediately said, "We want to cross the hill. Aren't you officials? Aren't officials supposed to work for the people?"

As soon as Xiaoqing opened her mouth, she sounded like a farmer who had done farm work for many years. Although it was an affirmative sentence, the more you listened to it, the less confident it sounded.

Hearing Xiaoqing's words, the younger soldiers said unhappily, "If we want to cross this hill, this is the road."

The words of the officer seemed to have stepped on Yang Qi's tail. Yang Qi jumped up immediately: "That sounds really nice. Is this road for us poor people? If we can pass through, don't we want to go? For so many years, every time we cross the mountain, we have to pay a "road fee". Without money, we can't even go home here!"

After saying everything in his heart in one breath, Yang Qi couldn't help swallowing his saliva. Looking at everyone's eyes, he trembled subconsciously.

The leading man made it clear that he didn't want to have any extra involvement with Yang Qi and the other two, so he took the reins again and prepared to set off again.

Having practiced martial arts for many years, Xiaoqing's reaction was faster than Yangqi's. She quickly stepped forward and hugged the stirrup of the leading man: "You can't leave, you can't leave, my second brother and I must go there today."

Seeing Xiaoqing's appearance, Yang Qi followed suit and hugged the thigh of a soldier next to him: "No, we can't leave. If the two of us stay here, we will just end up seeking death." Yang Qi is not short among his peers, but due to his age limit, in the eyes of everyone, he is just an ugly and short black radish making trouble.

The officers of the team had seen Xiaoqing and Yangqi act like unruly people countless times. Over the years, the people in this area had a hard time, and some chose to join the bandits, but the bandits didn't want everyone, so they only picked the strong ones.

No one would look down upon bean sprouts like Yangqi and Xiaoqing.

It's ironic to say that nowadays, people are proud to join a bandit gang. If there are people in the family who are involved in the bandit gang, the neighbors and villagers will respect this family.

The leading man winked at the younger ones and asked them to come over and handle it.

The younger officials immediately dismounted from their horses and prepared to drag Xiaoqing and Yangqi away.

Xiaoqing was better off, she still had some strength, but Yangqi's weight was unbearable, and the young man pulled Yangqi away with one hand, while Xiaoqing desperately pulled the stirrup of the man in front: "You can't walk, you can't walk, I tell you the truth, I just drugged you, you can't feel a little breathless!

Only I can come up with the antidote for this medicine. Today, my second brother and I must cross the mountain."

Xiaoqing's words made everyone's faces change. The younger man used great force to loosen Xiaoqing's hand, then grabbed Xiaoqing's neck with one hand: "Say it again!"

It was obvious that these officials were skilled in martial arts, and when they used their strength, Xiaoqing's face immediately turned blue.

Yang Qi was anxious, and rushed forward, struggling to release the young man's hand, but the man's hand was too strong, and Yang Qi couldn't pry it apart at all. It was as if Yang Qi was trying to break an iron rod. Seeing Xiao Qing's face getting worse and worse, Yang Qi was so anxious that his voice became hoarse: "Let go, let go, my brother can't breathe, are you crazy?

Is there any way out for honest people in this world? Is it true that honest people like us don’t deserve to live?”

Xiaoqing clearly said that she had drugged the leading man, but the man was not panicked at all. He looked at the actions of Yangqi and Xiaoqing with a completely cheerful attitude.

I don't know what touched him, the leading man said lazily: "Let go, didn't you say that only she can cure the poison I'm in?"

Then, he stepped off his horse with his long legs, bent down, and looked Yang Qi up and down carefully: "If I say so, this is really the way the world is."

Seeing the leading man slowly approaching him, Yang Qi couldn't help but step back. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment and said, "I don't believe in fate. I won't believe it. If I really believed it, my brother and I would have died long ago."

Yang Qi's eyes, which were originally anxious to the point of breaking his heart, suddenly lit up. He didn't know where he got the courage from, but he suddenly grabbed the leading man and said, "Sir, I know you are a senior official. You have such a big knife, you must be very powerful. Please save me and my brother."

After being caught by Yang Qi, the leading man immediately broke free, looked at Yang Qi's hand with a little disgust, and then got back on his horse.

Yang Qi crawled to Xiao Qing's side and struggled to help Xiao Qing up: "Brother, brother."

Xiaoqing tugged at Yang Qi's hand, her face turned pale and the light in her eyes gradually faded. She had used up her last trick and there was really no other way.

Suddenly, the leading man's voice suddenly rang out: "Didn't you say that we were going to cross the hill? Hurry up and catch up. Ah Zeng, move a carriage out for the two of them."

These two simple sentences gave Yang Qi and Xiao Qing hope of rebirth, and they immediately smiled broadly on their faces.

Xiaoqing was pinched a little too hard just now, and now she can't recover for a while. Yang Qi carefully helped Xiaoqing to the side, then took out a simple bottle from Xiaoqing's arms and handed it to the leading man: "Thank you for agreeing to take me and my brother with you. This is the antidote, remember to take it."

After taking the bottle, the leading man took a cold look and said, "Tell me the truth, when did you poison me?" Although he pretended to be indifferent, he was actually frightened in his heart that these two people could poison me without him knowing.

Looking at his elder brother, he lowered his head and thought for a while. Yang Qi hesitated for a while, and then as if he had made up his mind, he said: "I'm sorry, sir, we were wrong. This is not poison, but a herbal medicine that makes people feel itchy and a little breathless. Just now, when we saw you were coming, my elder brother and I hurriedly sprinkled it on. When you came just now, you must have been touched by some.

We are just afraid that you will ignore us, after all, we really have nothing left."

The leading man still had a cold expression on his face, but his worries were gone. So that's what it was.
