l into the water! There was only you by the river at that time!”A dangerous glint flashed in Ripples' eyes. It seems the original owner falling into the water wasn't an accident; Pan Nuannuan is the m...Yes, I will definitely bring the message.

Once the messenger was gone, Lian Yi smiled and said to Wang Yaozhu:

These people are better at fooling people than I am. They'll start fighting in a moment, so you should stay far away so you don't get splashed with blood.

Wang Yaozu's face immediately turned bad, changing back and forth, and finally he said in a low voice:

"Heroine, why must you take action yourself!"

Since we're using someone else's convoy, we should also make some contributions to show our value. But don't worry, I said I would only intervene at critical moments.

Ripple soothed.

Wang Zhenzhen also lifted the car curtain and said softly:

"Ripple, you yourself assess the situation and make a move. Don't scare people."

"Don't worry, madam. I know my limits."

Everyone had a simple breakfast and then entered the canyon. The seven Qi people walked at the front.

As the team ventured deeper, they heard the clash of swords and shouts of men.

"Go check it out front, what's going on"

Qi Qi frowned and commanded.

"Yes!"

"Someone entered the canyon ahead of us."

It shouldn't be. The scout ahead hadn't detected anyone entering the canyon.

Another guard immediately said.

Moments later, the person who went to investigate rushed back and reported:

"Sir, in the middle of the canyon, two groups of people are fighting. One side looks like bandits, and the other looks like martial artists."

"How did these two people end up fighting"

Qi Qi was also a little curious.

I don't know, both sides are fighting hard. The bandits are currently using the terrain to their advantage and have a slight upper hand. Should we intervene

Of course, while they're sick, we should strike and seize their assets. Let's take down those bandits first.

Qi Qi was no mere fledgling, he issued his orders decisively. The guards disguised as attendants sprang onto their mounts and galloped away.

The ripples also heard the sound of swords clashing, knowing that someone had already begun fighting before them. So when she saw Qiqi's team speed up, she didn't rush to catch up.

"You stay here with Madam, I'll go take a look at the situation. I'll come back before we enter the gorge."

Liàn yì yuè xià bái lóng, bìng bú dào zhuī qù, ér shì zhǔ sù Wáng Yào zǔ, tā kěshì zì jǐ de qián dài zi, bù néng shòu shāng, fǒu zhī bù hǎo dǎo tǎo hù sòng fèi.

"The heroine, be careful. I'm not going anywhere, I'll be right here waiting for you."

Wang Ya zu's mood instantly improved, he eagerly nodded. As long as he wasn't implicated, he would definitely obey.

Ripple smiled and nodded, then inhaled deeply and leaped. Using the uneven walls of the canyon, she expertly ascended to the top using her light skills.

"Someone is flying over!"

A voice, like a quacking duck, exclaimed, pinpointing the ripples' target.

She leaped forward with two long strides and landed on top of a pile of rocks. She gazed at the little boy hiding behind them, her brows furrowed as she asked:

"Are you bandits"

"We are not!"

The boy who had just spoken immediately refuted.

Ripples glanced at the other person. He wore patched and mended clothes, his hair was unkempt, his face was dark, and he was accompanied by a group of men and women about his size.

Opposite them were about twenty people, all staring wide-eyed at the girl in red standing on the pile of stones. They were not only amazed by her beauty, but also by her astonishing agility and martial arts skills.

"You are not bandits, why are you preparing so many stones Are they not meant to smash the people below"

Ripple stood with arms crossed, her expression one of keen interest.

We are robbing the rich to help the poor!

A twelve-year-old girl spoke up.

The little girl's face was pale, her thin hair tied into two small braids. She wore a dress that was obviously too small for her, with patches just as numerous as those on a boy's clothes. Her big toes stuck out from her shoes, but she still boldly responded to Lianyi's words.

"Gurgling" sounds came from the little girl's stomach, causing a moment of awkward silence.

"You bandits rob people just to fill your own bellies!"

Ripple raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Are the heroines here to arrest us We were all rescued by the heroes here from human traffickers. Without them, we don't know where we would have been sold. Please let us go."

The boy who had spoken up before stepped forward and said loudly.

"Were you all sold by your families"

It's not all of them; some younger ones were kidnapped.

"And you You're a boy, so even if your family is poor, they wouldn't sell you."

The ripples continued to ask.

"Both my parents are deceased, and my uncle and aunt wanted me to take my cousin's place in the military service. I refused, so I sold myself and left the village. After traveling to many places, I finally arrived here."

Ripple shook her head, didn't say much, but waved directly. She shook down a shower of leaves from the nearby tree and wrapped them with her internal energy, sending them flying towards the twenty or so children in front of her. In their surprised eyes, she swept over their sleep points, instantly causing these children to fall unconscious.

She immediately leaped into the pile of rocks, beginning her search for the bandits' lair. With everyone else in the canyon occupied dealing with Gongzi and his companions, she was free to raid their nest.

Indeed, in the middle of the canyon was an isolated basin with a small village, about twenty-three thatched houses.

Ripples saw several women washing clothes by a spring, their clothing was much better than the children's. Occasionally, men with swords could be seen strolling through the village, when they saw the women, they would stop to flirt before continuing their patrol.

But the ripple aimed for the best house in all, she tapped her toes lightly, with several leaps and bounds she dodged the patrolling guards and landed on the biggest rooftop. She twitched her ears, listening to the conversation of the two people inside.

"Big brother, there are fewer and fewer people passing by our front door recently. Should we consider moving to a new place"

"This place has become known, and it won't be easy to find another hiding spot this well-concealed. Besides, there is war at the border now, and even the magistrate of Huai'rou County can't do anything to us. We can stay hidden for a while longer, wait until we get through this winter, then leave."

What happened to those children Lao Feng and Wutong have been gone for ten days now, and they haven't come back. What if something happened to them

"Hmph, I still don't know those mother and son, they must have their eyes on beautiful girls."

"We need some fresh faces in our village, those few have gotten stale. If they weren't pregnant, I would have sold them off already."

"This matter cannot let them notice. After the child is born, we will deal with those women. Don't let the children in the village know."

"Don't worry, brother. I sent those kids to push stones forward. They'll cooperate with the third and fourth brothers to capture the people back. I heard there are a few pretty girls this time, just right to entertain everyone."

The man's voice was somewhat sleazy.

Okay, you guys figure it out.

As soon as the words left his mouth, they heard a roar.

What's going on

"Lao San and Lao Si are calling for help, they've run into a tough opponent."

"Take people to support them."

"Great!"

Immediately, the door was flung open and two tall and thin men ran out. They blew a whistle and gathered the remaining villagers to go for support.

"It seems that Young Master Qi and his men are quite capable. This is a perfect opportunity to lure the tiger away from the mountain!"rushed in the rubble.Xu Fenfang was clutching Jiayao and stumbling across the open ground. But the tremors were too strong; Xu Fenfang hadn't taken two steps before a crack appeared on the ground bene...
