Chapter 352 We Don’t Need to Take Action
"That maid was very rude, but her crime is not punishable by death. Miss, why don't I and Qingzhi go and help them?"
Qinghe is a soft-hearted person and cannot stand by and watch someone die.
Lin Shuyue was about to nod in agreement, but suddenly stopped nodding and immediately closed her eyes to explore with her spiritual sense.
After a few breaths, she opened her eyes and smiled, "Don't worry, we don't have to do anything. Someone will help."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves came from behind him.
Immediately afterwards, a dozen strong men in black clothes and riding tall horses escorted a carriage from around the corner, appeared on the official road, and came towards this side.
The leading man heard the sound of fighting in front and immediately looked forward.
Afterwards, he must have asked the people in the carriage for instructions, and then he waved his hand and brought ten of his men on horseback, galloping over.
They passed by Lin Shuyue's carriage and rushed straight towards the bandits.
As soon as they rushed to the bandits, they started fighting with them without saying a word.
Lin Shuyue, Qinghe, Qingzhi and Gousheng looked forward.
However, they were very skilled and could easily defeat five people at a time. They were no match for the group of bandits and the guards in front. With only ten people, they beat the bandits back step by step.
In less than a cup of tea, the fight was over and the bandit leader was captured alive.
Qing He and Qing Zhi couldn't help but sigh after seeing this: "These people are quite skilled. I wonder who they are."
Lin Shuyue was looking down at Gousheng's expression. When she heard what they said, she stood up and just looked up, her eyes met the eyes of the people in the carriage passing by from the left side of their carriage.
When the people in the carriage saw her, they seemed stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly to her.
The carriage did not stop and continued to move forward slowly until it reached the open space where the battle with the bandits had just taken place.
With nothing more exciting to watch, Lin Shuyue and the others looked away.
"Gulu gulu..."
Gousheng's stomach suddenly rumbled, and he looked at the ground in embarrassment.
Hearing the sound, Lin Shuyue and the other two realized that they had not had lunch yet in order to watch the fun.
"Oh, it's all my fault. I let our dog starve. What a sin!"
Qingzhi joked mischievously while taking out a lunch box from the carriage and opening it.
The top layer of the food box was filled with soft snacks, and the bottom layer contained some meat pies and a few large buns that he had bought when he passed through the town that morning.
There was ice in the bottom compartment of the food box, so even in this hot weather, the meat pies and buns were still intact.
The three adults and one child began to enjoy this simple lunch with the water in the water bag.
In the carriage of the gorgeous carriage in front, Zhixia stopped when she heard the noise outside, and then she quietly looked out to see the situation outside.
After a moment, she turned around and looked at her young lady excitedly, "Miss, the bandits outside have been dealt with. Someone saved us."
"really?"
The woman paused in wiping her tears, and looked at Zhixia with her watery eyes, as if she couldn't believe it.
At this time, a guard came to the carriage, holding his injured arm, and said respectfully: "Miss, it's safe now. A kind-hearted person helped us, and the bandits have been dealt with."
The woman in the carriage breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the guard's words.
Just as I was about to ask about the situation, I heard a strange, gentle voice suddenly sounded outside, as if talking to another person.
The woman paused and asked the guard curiously, "Do you know who is outside?"
"Miss, it's the master of the people who saved us. They should be discussing how to deal with those bandits." The guard reported everything.
Upon hearing this, the woman secretly lifted a corner of the car curtain and looked in the direction of the sound.
In an open space not far ahead, a young man in a crescent-shaped white robe was talking to a man in tight clothes beside him.
The young man had a tall and handsome figure, like a slender bamboo, and his gentle and soft face seemed easy-going, yet revealed a sense of indifference.
Qu Ruyue covered her chest, trying to cover up the thunderous beating of her heart inside her chest.
"Sir, I have interrogated them. These are bandits from the nearby mountains. They are extremely vicious and often stalk the area, attacking passersby. Should we send them to the authorities?"
The man in black tights pointed at the bandit leader kneeling on the ground and asked the young man beside him.
Helan Zhang's clear eyes swept over the bandits and he said, "If they're not far from the county town, let Mu Qi and Mu Feng take them to the government office. If they're far away..."
He lowered his eyes, his tone calm, "If they are far away, we will deal with them on the spot."
"Yes, son."
The man in black nodded, then called on several of his men to take away the surviving bandits.
Helan Zhang glanced at the corpse lying on the ground and turned back to the carriage.
"Master, please stay."
A soft voice sounded behind him.
Helan Zhang turned around and looked at the woman walking towards him, a hint of doubt flashed across his face.
As they got closer, Qu Ruyue finally saw his handsome face clearly, and her heart beat faster and faster.
She suppressed her shyness and walked in front of Helan Zhang, bowed gracefully, and said softly, "Ruyue thanks you so much for saving my life, sir."
"It's just a matter of convenience. You don't have to be polite, young lady." Helan Zhang smiled faintly, distant and polite.
"If it weren't for the young master today, Ru Yue would have probably already..."
Qu Ruyue bit her lip slightly, then looked up at Helan Zhang with tears in her eyes: "No matter what, I will always remember your kindness."
He Lan Zhang had a distant smile on his face from beginning to end. After listening to her, he said calmly, "Miss, there is no need to worry. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the carriage on the side of the road.
Seeing this, Qu Ruyue felt anxious and took a few steps forward. "Sir, I am Qu Ruyue, the daughter of the Anxing prefect of Longzhou. May I ask your name and where you live? When Ruyue returns home, I will bring a generous gift to express my gratitude."
Helan Zhang frowned slightly, but did not stop and got on the carriage directly.
Qu Ruyue seemed to have not expected her benefactor to be so cold to her. She stood there in a daze. When she came to her senses, she was sad and embarrassed because she had lost face in public. Her eyes were red for a moment.
Seeing this, Zhixia quickly stepped forward and interrupted, "Miss, let's go back to the carriage. It's a mess here. Don't get your shoes dirty."
Qu Ruyue knew that Zhixia was trying to save face for herself, so she followed her wishes and returned to the carriage.
Here, Lin Shuyue and his companions had finished their lunch and set off again.
This time it was Qingzhi who drove the carriage, and Qinghe sat with her on the shaft.
When the carriage passed the place where the fight had just taken place, the two men took a special look. The bodies of the bandits had been piled together in a mess, which looked a bit creepy.
Qingzhi shuddered and could not help but speed up, driving the carriage out of the open space and leaving the two groups of people behind.
