"Young Marquis, what are you doing?" Ye Qingyin questioned. Fang Jingxiu knocked Ye Ziyu unconscious.

"Miss Ye, do you think that given Miss Ye San's current situation, she can still find someone? What she needs is rest." Fang Jingxiu said.

In the end, Ye Qingyin and Ling Bingqing stayed with Ye Ziyu with their personal maids. Fang Jingxiu and the other two left some people in the camp to protect them, and then dispersed with the other guards and servants to search in all directions.

"Search in all directions for a quarter of an hour, and return directly regardless of whether you find anything or not." Fang Jingxiu gave an order and everyone set off.

Ye Qingyin and the other two stayed in the carriage. After a while, they heard the sound of fighting outside.

Ye Qingyin frowned and lifted a corner of the curtain. She saw a group of people dressed as bandits rushing over and fighting with the people who stayed behind to protect them.

"They are bandits." Ye Qingyin said.

"Those on Jing'an Mountain? Didn't they say that they had wiped out the bandits before, and that the operation was very successful? But looking at the number of bandits here, it doesn't seem like the operation was successful." Ling Bingqing also took a look outside.

"Miss, there are too many bandits. Let us cover you and let you escape first." Several guards surrounded the carriage.

"Ayu is still unconscious. It's not easy to carry her with us. I'll get off and go with you. Xiaoxue, bring me my whip." Ye Qingyin got off the carriage.

"I'll go with you." Ling Bingqing followed closely behind.

Ye Qingyin got off the carriage, "Lixia, go up and protect your young lady."

"Yes." Lixia got on the carriage.

"Miss, the whip is here." Xiaoxue's voice was slightly excited.

"Laugh if you want to. Look how hard you're trying to hold it in." Ye Qingyin said.

"I've been learning from the young lady for so long, and now I finally have the opportunity to put it into practice." Xiaoxue said with a smile.

The Ye Mansion is different. They allow servants to learn new skills while serving their masters. Xiaoxue has been learning martial arts with Ye Qingyin since she was a child.

"Miss." Pearl said worriedly.

"I've also been learning from your young lady for so long, and now I can finally kill the enemy. You should also get on the carriage and protect Ayu." Ling Bingqing said. Zhenzhu has been following Ling Bingqing for many years, so she knows some simple skills.

"Miss, why don't I just follow you."

"If you follow me, I will have to protect you. You are in the way." Ling Bingqing said disdainfully, "Hurry up and go up. This is my order."

Zhenzhu got on the carriage, and soon Ling Bingqing, Ye Qingyin and Lixia joined the fighting team, while Yifeng and Mo Qing stayed around the carriage to protect it.

These bandits came in an endless stream, some of them were very skilled, and with the addition of Ye Qingyin, Xiaoxue and Ling Bingqing, it became a little easier to fight them.

Ling Bingqing was using a small scimitar, so she had to fight those people in close combat. She used a whip to tie up the person who stabbed Ling Bingqing from behind and threw him to the other side.

"Thank you." Ling Bingqing noticed the movement behind him, took a look and then dealt with the person in front of him.

"The pattern of these people's attacks doesn't seem like bandits, but more like professional killers. They are coming for our lives, so everyone be careful and protect yourselves." Ye Qingyin said.

"Qingzhu, go and tell your young master to come back soon." Ling Bingqing shouted.

"The signal has been sent. The young master will come back soon after seeing the signal. Miss Ling, be careful." Qingzhu stepped forward and killed the enemy on Ling Bingqing's right.

After everyone fought for a while, Ling Bingqing's hand was suddenly pulled by someone, and then she fell into that person's arms. The next second, she heard the sound of a sword piercing beside her. She looked up and saw that it was Qin Luoheng.

"Are you okay?" Qin Luoheng pulled Ling Bingqing around to check.

"I... I'm fine." Ling Bingqing broke free and looked over to see that Fang Jingxiu's men had controlled all the bandits.

Ling Sichen also walked to Ye Qingyin's side, "Are you okay?"

Ye Qingyin shook her head.

"Tell me, who is your master?" Mo Liang put his sword against a bandit's neck.

"Not good." Mo Liang squatted down and held the man's chin, but it was still too late.

All those who were controlled committed suicide by biting themselves with poison.

Ling Sichen frowned, "These bandits..."

"They are not bandits, they are killers." Fang Jingxiu said.

"Killer? Could it be..."

"There is no evidence." The three of them looked solemn.

"How come you got back so quickly?" Ye Qingyin asked.

"We felt that Li Qiu's disappearance was not that simple. Those people probably wanted to disperse us, so we pretended to leave. However, we didn't expect that they had so many people, and many people also came from our side, so we came back a little late."

"Then you didn't go to find Liqiu?" Ye Qingyin asked.

"Ah Xiu sent Mo Qin with a small group of people to look for him, don't worry."

"That's good." Ye Qingyin breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards Ling Bingqing, "Ah Qing, were you injured just now?"

Ling Bingqing shook her head quickly and said, "I'll get on the carriage first." Then she walked straight towards the carriage.

Ye Qingyin was confused, "What happened?"

"What's wrong with Aqing?" Ling Sichen also walked over and asked Qin Luoheng who was standing beside him.

"I don't know either." Qin Luoheng was also confused.

"We still need to clean up, you can get in the carriage and wait first." Ling Sichen turned around and said gently to Ye Qingyin.

"Okay." Ye Qingyin walked towards the carriage.

"Miss, today is really enjoyable." Xiaoxue said excitedly.

"We had no choice but to take action today. We can't act rashly in the future." Ye Qingyin said.

"Miss, are you afraid that Mr. Ling will think you are too tough? Or are you afraid that Madam Ling will be unhappy after knowing it?" Xiaoxue asked.

Ye Qingyin glanced back at Ling Sichen who was discussing with Fang Jingxiu, then turned away without saying anything.

No one likes a woman who wields swords, so it is generally difficult for women from military families to find marriages. Mothers-in-law all like their future daughters-in-law to be dignified, generous, virtuous and kind.

Ye Qingyin knew that Madam Ling knew that she was skilled in martial arts, because Ling Bingqing would often talk about it, but Ye Qingyin was not sure whether Tao Ling would dislike her behavior of killing people with a whip.

Lixia and Zhenzhu had already gotten off the carriage, so the only people left in the carriage were Ye Ziyu who was lying down and Ling Bingqing who was in a daze.

"Aqing, are you really okay? Are you hurt somewhere or just scared?" Ye Qingyin asked.

Ling Bingqing did not respond. Ling Bingqing felt that her thoughts were in a mess and her heart was beating very fast.

Seeing that Ling Bingqing didn't respond, Ye Qingyin didn't continue to ask. She glanced at Ye Ziyu who was still sleeping, "Young Marquis's hands are really strong. Such a big commotion didn't wake up Ayu."

*

When Ye Ziyu woke up, she felt a pain in the back of her neck. "So this is what it feels like to be knocked unconscious. It hurts so much." Ye Ziyu sat up. There was no one else in the carriage. She opened the curtains and it was already dark outside. "That damn Fang Jingxiu, he hit me so hard. It's already dark. I don't know how Li Qiu is doing."

Ye Ziyu got off the carriage and saw Ye Qingyin and others sitting around the fire. It was Ling Sichen who was facing Ye Ziyu who noticed her.

"Ayu." Ling Sichen shouted, and everyone looked in the direction of Ye Ziyu.

Ye Ziyu walked closer, Ling Bingqing moved aside to make a seat for Ye Ziyu, and Ye Ziyu sat down. "What happened?" Ye Ziyu sniffed and smelled a strong smell of blood.

No one answered. Ye Ziyu glanced around and continued, "I smelled a strong smell of blood. I thought there must have been a fight here."

Everyone originally thought that Ye Ziyu had been in a coma, so they didn't want to tell Ye Ziyu what happened in the afternoon, but when Ye Ziyu asked, Ye Qingyin told them what happened in the afternoon.

"Are our people seriously injured or killed?" Although Ye Qingyin said it simply, with such a strong smell, there must be a lot of deaths, or a lot of people injured and bleeding.

"Fortunately, only a few of our people died, and the rest were only injured. Those who died were all from the opposite side." Fang Jingxiu said.

The journey this time is long, in order to avoid accidents, Jiang Xu asked Ye Zhengde to prepare servants who are all skilled in martial arts. The maids are only a few of his personal maids, not to mention those who follow Fang Jingxiu and others. Because he has to go out to solve cases all year round, everyone around him knows martial arts.

"Well, it's good that our people are okay." Ye Ziyu had never thought that she would encounter such a thing before she had gone far on a long journey, and she even encountered such dangerous situations twice.

"By the way, where's Li Qiu? Have you found any trace of her?"

"Ayu, you have to be prepared." Ye Qingyin said.
