Chapter 125 Suppressing Bandits
The innkeeper's face was grave. He glanced at Yunxiu standing in the room, his eyes filled with suspicion and uneasiness. Who were these people? If they messed with Xifeng Village, they would be dead or even dead. He ultimately decided to play it safe. He couldn't afford to offend Xifeng Village.
The shopkeeper said, "With my small business, I really can't afford to serve a customer like you. Please go back."
Yunxiu and the others did not bother to argue and simply turned around and left the inn.
Yunxiu just felt a little guilty towards Zhong Yi, and held Zhong Yi's hand, "You have suffered a lot following me. I originally wanted to find a place to rest here for one night, but I didn't expect to be kicked out of the inn."
Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "Wife, I'm fine. But tonight, you have to be extra careful about another sneak attack from the people in Xifeng Village." Why did Ah Xiu always feel that he was weak and needed protection and care? He had also served in the army.
As night falls, everything is silent, with only the occasional chirping of insects and the gurgling of a distant stream.
In the darkness of the night, Yunxiu and the others found a sheltered spot and lit a bonfire. All around them was silence, save for the occasional crackling of the fire. The guards tightened their clothes, trying to ward off the night's chill.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves echoed nearby. The system announced the arrival of the garrison troops. Yun Xiu perked up and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a group of men galloping towards them. Leading the group was a dashing general, followed by a group of soldiers and several familiar figures—Zhong Qi, Lin Ziqi, Ren Li, Tan Juan, and others. Lu Xuan had remained in Baili City, managing the silver foundry, and did not follow.
Zhong Lu whipped her horse to a halt near Yunxiu. She dismounted swiftly and asked with concern, "Your Highness, why are you sleeping out here? What happened?"
Yunxiu saw them and smiled, "Nothing's wrong. We were harassed by the bandits from Xifeng Village. We stayed at the inn, but the owner didn't dare to take us in and kicked us out."
Zhong Lu frowned upon hearing this, dissatisfied with the innkeeper's behavior. She turned to the soldier behind her and said, "Go call the innkeeper and give him a beating."
Soon, the innkeeper was brought before Yunxiu. Seeing the aggressive attitude of Zhong Lu and the others, he was so frightened that his legs went weak. Zhong Lu looked at him coldly and asked, "How dare you kick her out? Do you know who she is?"
The shopkeeper trembled and stammered, unable to speak.
Seeing this, Zhong Lu became even more dissatisfied and said sternly, "Remember this from now on. You must treat her well. Otherwise, the garrison will not tolerate her!"
After saying that, Zhong Lu turned to Yun Xiu and said, "Master, it's windy and cold here, so we shouldn't stay here for long. Let's go back to the barracks first."
When the garrison marches in the wild, they will set up temporary camps.
Yunxiu nodded, and she followed Zhong Lu and others and set out on the journey back to the military camp.
After returning to the military camp, Yunxiu and Zhong Lu discussed and decided to take the initiative to attack, so as to avoid encountering wave after wave of bandits. After defeating the younger ones, the older ones came, which was really unbearable.
Yunxiu asked the system to give the location of Xifeng Village. Yunxiu directly told the scout to investigate in the mountains and forests fifteen miles north of the inn.
Early the next morning, the scouts returned and made a plan to attack Xifeng Village at night when the enemy was exhausted.
As the night deepened, the forest under the moonlight seemed increasingly peaceful. However, this tranquility was suddenly shattered by the sound of rapid horse hooves, as if a group of ferocious beasts had suddenly broken into the forest, causing everyone to shudder with fear.
Yunxiu and Zhong Lu led more than 500 people and swept towards Xifeng Village like a gust of wind.
Yunxiu sat upright on the horse, her eyes firm and deep. With the system, she had a clear view of everything in front of her.
As they got closer to Xifeng Village, Yunxiu's heartbeat gradually accelerated.
Less than a mile from Xifeng Village, Yunxiu ordered the entire army to slow down and advance cautiously. She knew the bandits in Xifeng Village were cunning and could easily fall into their traps. She urged everyone to remain vigilant and not allow any room for error.
At this moment, the sound of hurried horse hooves broke the silence.
I saw a group of people galloping out of the village. Their figures were looming in the moonlight, like a group of ghosts galloping in the night.
Among the group of people, the leader was wearing a black cloak and had his face covered. His face was blurry in the dark, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes that flashed with cold light, as if he could see through everything.
He is the leader of Xifeng Village, a gangster known for his cruelty and cunning, and his name is feared by people in the martial arts world. He is the leader of Xifeng Village, a gangster known for his cruelty and cunning.
When the leader of Xifeng Village saw Yunxiu and his group, he was not afraid at all. Instead, he burst into laughter.
His laughter echoed in the night air, full of mockery and provocation.
He pointed at Yunxiu and the others and shouted, "Haha, you guys are really asking for your own death! I haven't even come looking for you yet, and you've actually come to my door. There's a way out in the world of the living, but you refuse to take it. There's no door to hell, but you insist on barging in! Today, I'll make sure you never come back!"
