The guards tightened the whips in their hands. They were all bastards. If they were given money, there wouldn't be so much trouble.

Just when the personal guard was scratching his head for a solution, he saw Shang Hongxiu with a complicated look in her eyes.

He immediately bowed and said, "I shouldn't bother you with this matter, but it happened suddenly, so I hope you can help me."

Shang Hongxiu took two steps forward, "What's the matter?"

"The city lord originally gave each of us two taels of silver to compensate for the people's losses, but those bastards actually ran away with the silver. I guess the city lord must be resentful of keeping them by his side as his personal soldiers. Besides, our backgrounds are not glorious to begin with, so how could we do such a thing..."

The guard laughed twice and continued, "Now that everyone is unwilling to abandon their family business, we can only ask the lady to recover the money."

He should have led his men to chase after him, but now he couldn't waste any time. Besides, even if he caught up with him, he had no confidence that he could capture him.

Now that things have come to this, he can only trust the city lord's judgment.

It’s true that the guards did choose a good helper, but the prerequisite is that she can leave.

The calm ground suddenly shook violently, and a crack as big as an abyss appeared in the earth. A head bigger than a house emerged from it.

"Earth, earth dragon?" The guards looked at the thing that suddenly appeared behind them in disbelief.

After the initial panic, they abandoned the belongings they were pushing and ran forward almost for their lives, but some people knelt down and prayed in despair. In short, the scene was in chaos.

The good news is that the team finally moved, the bad news is that this distance is like nothing for the Earth Dragon.

Unlike the guards who were shaking like sieves due to their body's instinctive warning, Shang Hongxiu looked solemn and waved at him, "Please organize the team and escort the people away."

"So, what about you?"

"I'll hold it back."

He thought the man must be crazy. How could he drag such a huge monster? If the monster just turned over, it would turn into meat paste.

He thought Shang Hongxiu must be frightened silly, until he saw the person kneeling on the ground and muttering to himself, then he realized that the other person was not frightened silly, but was facing fear.

That's not stupidity, that's true bravery.

He hit his arms which were somewhat out of control a few times. Damn, how could I lose to a little girl? "Lady, I'll trouble you then."

The personal guard whipped his whip and ran back to look. He could not let down the city lord who regarded him as a brother, nor did he dare to let down this female knight who was brave enough to sacrifice herself to cover the retreat.

"As long as I'm alive, this beast won't be able to hurt the people." The guard hurriedly made a promise and shouted to the scattered soldiers in front.

"When he was a bandit, he probably never dreamed that one day he would abandon his most precious life to protect a group of people he had burned, killed and looted. That bandit leader was quite charismatic." Bai Qingge, who was standing on Shang Hongxiu's shoulder, said with a sigh.

"Haha, I admire him for this. He can make people risk their lives to carry out orders. Even if the city lord is not a good person, he must be a good brother." Shang Hongxiu smiled casually, but her shaking hands could not deceive her eyes.

Bai Qingge also exposed it without hesitation, "You are so scared, but you still want to stay. Aren't you afraid of death?"

"Of course I am scared, extremely scared. If I dismount now, I'm afraid I won't even be able to walk.

"But, it's so strange. You're obviously scared to death, but why do you still stay? Although I like to do good deeds, I don't want to risk my life."

"Because he's an idiot." Bai Qingge concluded.

"Just as my predecessor said, I am indeed not a smart person, and I regret it a little now."

She was almost used to such stupid things. She was left alone to cover the rear when the imperial court was encircling her, and she was ambushed by horse bandits and did a series of brainless things. If she hadn't been so lucky, the grass on her grave would be three meters deep by now.

Although Shang Hongxiu sometimes did stupid things, she always felt that he was a smart person and at least would not do anything to seek death.

So Bai Qingge asked politely, "Do you want to escape?"

"Senior, can I win?"

So I said, I knew the result would be like this, it turns out there are really 24k pure fools in the world.

It's like he has the template of a passionate 'protagonist' who can rush forward in the face of any difficulties, but this thing in front of him is really a bit beyond the standard.

"of course can."

Having said that, does a normal person really think he can defeat such a behemoth?

This is much greater oppression than the one Cao Shangfei faced when facing Shang Chunqiu. It can no longer be considered oppression, it is despair.

So can humans defeat despair?

If it is something that can be defeated, it cannot be called despair.

Faced with such despair, Shang Hongxiu showed a brilliant smile, "I believe in you, Senior."

Bai Qingge didn't have any special reaction, because the trembling coming from his feet was the most standard answer.

"If you want to escape, you can tell me anytime. I can still take you away."

Shang Hongxiu puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction, "Senior just said I can win."

She still gave the same answer, "Of course."

But believing it with your mouth doesn’t mean you believe it in your heart. The body won’t lie, and once you have a way out when facing a cliff, you won’t jump down.

But she was still looking forward to it.

Although this statement may be problematic, only things that do not exist are worth pursuing.

So are we going to rescue her later? Of course we are going to rescue her, but the question is how.

I hope those guys have luck and run faster, otherwise she will use them as fertilizer to water her seeds.

"I can."

Your fighting spirit is good. It would be more powerful if you stopped shaking.

"come on."

The earth dragon seemed to be able to read the atmosphere very well and roared at the right time.

"Roar!!!"

The tail swung randomly, and if Shang Hongxiu had not reacted quickly, she would have fallen into the gap with the horse.

While dodging, he did not forget to swing his sword, but the effect was minimal.

But what surprised her was that a wound was actually left.

You should know that this earth dragon was born out of the fear of earthquakes.

Shang Hongxiu saw the blood on the sword and showed joy in her eyes, "It's useful."

"It's a pity that the sword is too short. If there were something like sword energy..."

I have to say that Shang Hongxiu is very talented in fighting. She can remain calm even if she is shaking all over.

Perhaps she wasn't trembling because of fear, but because she was excited to challenge such a powerful creature.
