Most of the runners were brothers who had fought for Liu Lao Hu. When he saw his brothers being killed, he glared fiercely in all directions and shouted in hatred: "Whoever it is, come out if you have the guts! Don't hide your head and show your tail!"

The exiled prisoners screamed and fled in all directions, and the yamen runners all drew their swords and gathered in a circle back to back.

"Master, there are twenty archers ambushed at the highest point of the winding mountain road!"

Shen Lanxi looked over with her phoenix eyes, her brilliance restrained, like an eagle's eyes spotting its prey.

"Everyone, stick to the mountain wall!"

When Liu Lao Hu heard Shen Lanxi's shout, he took the lead and led the yamen runners to run towards the mountain wall, shouting as he ran.

"If you don't want to die, stick to the mountain wall, quickly!"

With Liu Lao Hu and the yamen runners setting an example, the smart exiled prisoners immediately turned around and ran towards them.

Nu Bai has already locked onto the archer's position. Shen Lanxi ordered Chunxue Qiushuang: "Protect yourself, don't let anyone know that I've left!"

The two nodded quickly.

Taking advantage of the chaos, she flew to the top of the mountain from the side of the mountain wall using both her hands and feet!

During this period, the archers' arrows never stopped firing. Fortunately, everyone scattered and ran away. There were only injuries, but no deaths.

After Shen Lanxi climbed to the top of the mountain, she swooped down and locked onto the nearest archers, defeating them one by one. The archers were knocked unconscious and thrown off the cliff one after another.

The cliff is about twenty meters high. If they rolled down, they would be half dead. If no one rescued them, they would definitely die!

Twenty archers were dealt with in the blink of an eye. When she threw the arrows down, she collected the other half into the space.

Just as Liu Lao Hu stretched his head out to look up at the cliff, he saw a mass of something rolling down from the top of the cliff.

At first I thought it was a big rock, but when the person fell to the ground and bled, I found out that it was a warrior in tight clothes!

Then a bow and arrow fell to the ground!

The warrior stumbled?

How can it be!

Next, people and bows and arrows rolled down one after another, which further confirmed Liu Lao Hu’s guess.

There is definitely an expert on the top of the mountain. Is he an enemy or a friend?

Suddenly, he had an idea and immediately turned to look where Shen Lanxi was. He only saw two servants, but not Shen Lanxi herself.

Liu Lao Hu's pupils shrank and he immediately pursed his lips!

Twenty people fell to the ground, and Liu Lao Hu waited for a while, and when he saw that no one else rolled down, he did not rush to show up, until Shen Lanxi showed up with a stick in her hand to wipe the dirt.

The veins on Liu Lao Hu's forehead twitched twice, and then he came out from the mountain wall, walked to the archer, and kicked him hard, kicking the archer more than a meter away!

"I let you kill my brother. The killer will be killed. You deserve it. One life of my brother in exchange for twenty of yours!"

Liu Lao Hu kicked the archers one by one to vent his anger, and after venting his anger, he asked the yamen runners to search him.

A small bag of silver was found on each archer, and some were also found to have silver bills and medicine.

Liu Lao Hu thought of his dead brother, and was still not satisfied. He thought of the method Shen Lanxi had used before, and immediately said to the exiled prisoners: "The wristbands on them are worth a lot of money, and the shoes can also be worn. If you want, just go and take them. Everything you take is yours!"

The exiled prisoners had had experience before, and when they heard Liu Lao Hu speak, they immediately rushed forward and rushed to see it.

Some even fought because they couldn’t get the leather wrist guards!

The woman's previous outrageous behavior appeared again, and she directly stripped off her clothes, from inside to outside, without leaving a single piece behind.

"Pah, a dead person's clothes, don't you think it's unlucky?"

The woman stiffened her neck and said, "I won't sell it. If I don't tell you, no one will know that this is what a dead person wore. This cloth is so strong, it's obviously valuable!"

Several women's eyes lit up and they immediately joined the group of people stripping off their clothes.

The archer who was not yet dead saw that he was stripped naked by the women in the blink of an eye. He vomited blood and died of anger!

Shen Lanxi held the stick and turned around silently.

puff~

Once the door to a new world is opened, it will be difficult to close it again.

Sometimes, all a person lacks is an idea. Once the idea is opened, the road will be wide open!

Liu Lao Hu also had an idea in his mind. Once these people got it, they would be in the same boat.

"I'll give part of the money to my brother's family as resettlement expenses, and part of it for the journey. You've also taken things and gained benefits, so keep your mouth shut. If others know that you robbed the dead, it won't be as simple as exile!"

The exiled prisoners all kept their mouths shut.

Liu Lao Hu shouted again: "Did you hear that?"

The prisoners quickly responded: "I heard it!"

The yamen runner asked Liu Lao Hu: "Brother Liu, what should we do with these people?"

Liu Lao Hu picked up the bows and arrows and took a look. These bows and arrows were well-made, but had no markings, which made them look unusual.

He found Shen Lanxi with a bow and arrow.

"Mr. Lan, what should we do with these things?"

Shen Lanxi put the clean stick back into the car.

"There's a ready-made pit. Let's bury the bodies and the bows and arrows together!"

When Liu Lao Hu heard Shen Lanxi's casual words, his pupils trembled and he hurried to make arrangements!

The ready labor force quickly buried everything.

This time it was her turn to find Liu Lao Hu.

"Brother Liu, we have just left the capital and have already encountered several waves of danger. If we still follow the normal route, I am afraid that everyone will die on the road!"

Liu Lao Hu heard it and asked quickly, "Master Lan, do you have any ideas?"

Shen Lanxi told Liu Lao Hu the route she had thought of before, and then said in a heavy tone: "This is the only way we have left!"

Liu Lao Hu cursed his bad luck in his heart. Why did the higher-ups send him out this time? Now that he had come this far, it was useless even if he cursed the heavens.

He still has family members and yamen runners waiting for him to return. The officials in the capital don't care about their lives, so they have to take care of their own lives.

"Okay, now we happen to be experiencing a severe drought, and the court probably won't send anyone to verify. So we'll just follow the route Master Lan mentioned!" The routes for exiling prisoners are all stipulated by the court, and now we happen to encounter a situation where refugees are rampant. If anyone from above asks us questions, we can just say that we were dispersed by the refugees.

Liu Lao Hu only told the prisoners that the route had been changed, and said nothing else. In order to speed up the march, the shackles and leg irons on the male prisoners were removed and tied together with their hands!

Even though many people recognized that this was the road back to Nancheng, because they had untied the dozens of kilograms of burden on their backs and guessed that Liu Lao Hu really wanted them to walk faster, no one asked.

As expected, the number of refugees at the foot of Yongcheng had increased six or seven times, and the amount of silver required to enter the city had increased from two taels per person to five taels per person.

Shen Lanxi used saving money as an excuse to let Chunxue go to the city with Liu Laohu to buy water.

I didn’t consume much food, but I consumed a lot of water. I had to replenish enough water before I could continue on my journey!

While she was resting, a young exiled prisoner came up to her and recommended himself!

"Is your mansion in need of an accountant?"
