Under the cover of night, Lin Congyun carefully examined Nanny Bai's injuries.

Those wounds did not look like those caused by a simple fall. Instead, they looked more like marks left by a violent collision with some sharp, hard object.

Lin Congyun frowned, his heart full of doubts.

How could such an item appear in such a remote place?

There was a cold gleam in her eyes, and an idea flashed through her mind.

She quickly summoned Wu Jinjie, her voice filled with urgency: "Butler Wu, please be on high alert tonight. I'm worried that someone will take advantage of the chaos to sneak into our place. If something unexpected happens, the consequences will be disastrous."

Wu Jinjie's face showed a serious expression. He knew that Lin Congyun's worries were not groundless. "Don't worry, ancestor. I will immediately notify all the guards to be on high alert and ensure everyone's safety."

Lin Congyun's tense nerves relaxed a little, and she reminded again: "Keep everyone alert, and raise the alarm immediately if there is any disturbance."

Wu Jinjie nodded in agreement, turned around and left quickly to carry out his orders.

Lin Congyun stood in place, his eyes as sharp as torches, as if he could penetrate the darkness and see through all unknown dangers.

Unexpectedly, after a while, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the tranquility of the night.

Wu Jinjie said nervously, "Ancestor, it's bad! Bandits are attacking our exile team!"

When Lin Congyun heard the word "bandits", his heart tightened, but his face remained calm and he asked calmly, "How many people are there?"

"My dear, there are about fifty people, all of them are strong men, and they have knives in their hands." Wu Jinjie swallowed nervously.

Lin Congyun frowned slightly. These bandits were so bold that they even dared to attack the exile team. They must be tired of living.

Lin Congyun hesitated for a moment and said in a cold voice: "Don't panic, organize the guards to protect the safety of our people..."

At this moment, there was a chaotic shouting and the clanging sound of weapons colliding outside the carriage.

Lin Congyun looked up and saw torches swaying in the night outside the carriage, shadows of people, shouts, screams, and the clanging of weapons intertwined into one.

The bandits have launched an attack and the exile group is in chaos.

Under the cover of night, Lin Congyun's pupils suddenly contracted, and she saw a familiar figure swaying in the darkness.

Isn’t that the big guy who was severely punished by her a few days ago?

This guy is really bold. He just escaped from the exile team yesterday, and today he dared to launch an attack with more than fifty bandits.

Lin Congyun's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and the big man, Wang Mazi, met her eyes when he turned around.

Wang Mazi's eyes flashed with panic, but he quickly concealed it and replaced it with a fierce expression. He shouted loudly: "Go, capture them! There must be a lot of good things hidden in their carriage!"

With his order, the bandits rushed towards Lin Congyun's carriage like hungry wolves.

Lin Congyun only had the crossbow in his hand and no other weapons.

During the exile, the officials had already let them sit in carriages, so how could they allow them to carry weapons?

This crossbow can still be used in a sneak attack, but it is obviously no longer effective against these ferocious bandits.

Lin Congyun looked around and spotted the whip on the carriage. She quickly pulled it out, and with the long whip in her hand, she swung it fiercely and attacked the bandits.

"Ah--" a shrill scream pierced the air. The bandit in front was hit by the whip wind and fell to the ground in an instant as if he was hit hard, rolling in pain.

Seeing this, the other bandits immediately lost their composure, looked frightened and hesitant.

Wang Mazi's heart tightened. He was really surprised that this old woman could wield a whip.

He suppressed his panic and shouted, "Don't be afraid, we are in numbers, if we attack together, we will definitely be able to take her down!"

These words seemed to give the bandits a shot of adrenaline. They mustered up their courage and launched another fierce charge towards Lin Congyun.

A fierce look flashed in Lin Congyun's eyes, and the long whip in his hand danced like a spirit snake.

This time, she showed no mercy. Each whip was as powerful as thunder and struck the bandits hard.

Suddenly, screams rang out one after another, and the bandits fell to the ground one after another like scarecrows blown down by the wind.

At the same time, the guards of the General's Mansion also joined the battle and engaged in a fierce confrontation with the bandits.

During this fierce battle, Wang Mazi's face became more and more ugly, and he realized that they might have really hit a wall this time.

Seeing that the situation was not good, a bandit next to Wang Mazi said, "Third boss, we will suffer if we continue to fight like this. Otherwise... let's retreat first?"

Wang Mazi nodded silently, knowing full well that if he didn't escape now, he would never be able to escape again.

He gritted his teeth and issued a decisive order: "Retreat!"

As his voice fell, the bandits retreated quickly like the tide.

Wang Mazi led the remaining bandits and fled hastily into the distance.

Lin Congyun looked at their fleeing figures with a cold smile on his face. He turned to the guards of the general's mansion and ordered: "Chase!"

The guards responded in unison, weapons in hand, and chased after Wang Mazi and the others with great momentum.

Wang Mazi looked at the pursuers who were as fierce as wolves and tigers, and a look of despair appeared on his face.

He knew that he could not escape today. Although they were numerous, the gap in strength was too great.

They were just a group of rabble, a far cry from the guards at the General's Mansion.

Lin Congyun also quickly gave orders, asking the guards to split into several groups and chase Wang Mazi and others from different directions.

She also brought several guards with her to chase Wang Mazi himself.

In the darkness of the night, Lin Congyun and his guards followed closely.

Although Wang Mazi and others fled very quickly, they gradually became unable to keep up under the pursuit of Lin Congyun and others.

They began to flee in different directions, trying to escape Lin Congyun's pursuit.

However, Lin Congyun was well prepared. She ordered the guards to disperse and chase each bandit separately.

She herself chased Wang Mazi closely, approaching him step by step.

Finally, on a narrow mountain road, Lin Congyun successfully blocked Wang Mazi's way.

Wang Mazi looked at the figures of Lin Congyun and others, and couldn't help feeling despair in his heart.

He knew that he had no way to escape today.

Lin Congyun looked at Wang Mazi coldly and said, "You bandits are so bold. You dared to attack our general's mansion. You must be tired of living."

Wang Mazi's face was ashen, his whole body was shaking, and the despair in his eyes surged like a tide.
