The Concubine's Daughter Travels Through Time and Space and Takes the Road of Confrontation

The three of them fell silent again, and the young man walked forward with his head down without saying a word.

"Little kid, what would your sister do now?"

The young man said dejectedly, "I don't know." He took the shoulder strap of the cart and carried it on his shoulders and continued walking forward.

A figure stumbled into view, it was the old man who had just passed by.

The old man looked panicked and said, "Oh no, oh no, turn around quickly, there are robbers in front of us who are killing people."

The boy decisively pulled the cart aside and hid it. "Uncle, I'm going to save someone."

Zhang Yulin didn't stop him after hearing this. He pulled out a long sword from somewhere and said, "Here you go."

The young man took the weapon in his hand and ran forward against the flow of people without saying a word. After running for half an incense stick of time, he finally saw a green-covered carriage surrounded by people. The young man hid in a shack on the side and quietly observed the situation in the field. The enemy was numerous and we were few, so we needed to wait for an opportunity to act.

Seven or eight thugs were tall, masked, and wielding heavy broadswords. The leader, dressed in a thin, short jacket, stared at the carriage curtain with cruel, bloodthirsty eyes, and shouted, "Little girl, you and your daughter should marry us brothers. We promise you a life of luxury in the future."

The curtain suddenly opened and a maid in green came out, holding a dagger in her hand and pointing it at the criminals. "How dare you! Do you know who my master is? Watch out for your head!"

"Ha!" The leader said as if he had heard something interesting. "I don't care who you are. I just want to know whether you obey me or not." After saying that, greed was revealed in his eyes and he laughed out loud.

Lu Tan's face turned pale and her eyes showed despair. She thought it would be better to die than to be defiled by others. She gritted her teeth, turned her wrist, pointed the tip of the knife at her chest and stabbed it straight down.

A woman's scream came from the carriage, and with a "ding" sound, the dagger flew out of the hand.

"Who is it?" the leader shouted angrily, looking around. "Who is this jerk? Do you dare to come out and see your grandfather?"

It was quiet all around, without a single ghost in sight.

The leader, in a state of confusion, turned his attention back to the carriage, his eyes narrowed slightly. "They are just two stinky women. We can have as many as you want after the job is done. Come on, brothers!"

The young man hiding in the dark saw that the situation was not good, so he jumped out, but he tripped and fell. Lu Wang, who was dizzy and dazed, was pulled up by someone by the collar.

"Nephew, if you don't have your sister's ability, don't try to show off."

There were a few "bang, bang, bang" sounds, and smoke filled the area around the carriage. Lu Wang covered his chin and spat out a mouthful of blood foam. Before he could see what was going on, he saw the criminals lying on the ground, some twitching all over, some foaming at the mouth.

The frightened horses darted forward, their hooves raised high and slamming down hard on every bandit in their path. Zhang Yulin threw the people he was holding to the ground and unleashed several hidden arrows. The horses only ran a short distance before collapsing with a thud. Two people climbed out of the overturned carriage. A maid in green supported the woman in blue as they stumbled to the side. Taking in the situation, she cried and laughed, "Master, we're saved."

But the next moment, a swarm of ragged refugees suddenly emerged from the surrounding grass and trees, their eyes numb and silent, as they slowly approached the two of them. The smell around them grew increasingly foul and turbid. Lu Tan, holding the princess tightly behind him, spoke with a fierce expression, but with a weak heart. "My master is a noble in Kyoto. If you dare to touch a hair on my master today, I guarantee you—" The refugees not only did not stop, but instead accelerated their pace towards the two of them.

Seeing this, Roujia quickly stopped Lutan from saying anything else, took off all the jewelry and silver from the two men's heads and bodies, and threw them into the open space not far away. She shouted to everyone, "The Tartars have already broken through Yanmen Pass. Take this silver and run for your lives."

This move was indeed effective. The refugees began to riot, and most people's attention was successfully diverted. Only a few people were still staring at the two of them. The look in their eyes made the master and servant shudder.

Roujia breathed a sigh of relief, pulled Lutan up, and turned to run back. She heard footsteps behind her. Someone is following! Roujia gritted her teeth and sped up. A foul smell hit her, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer.

It's over! Roujia's face was filled with despair. She didn't even dare to think about what those people would do to her.

"Everyone!" A voice suddenly sounded, "Do you know who this is?"

Roujia paused and took Lutan to hide behind the man who was speaking. She quickly said, "Thank you very much, benefactor. If you can help me overcome today's difficulties, I will reward you handsomely one day!"

The men who had been following him all the way saw that the cooked duck was about to fly away, and said angrily, "Brother, this is too unkind!"

Zhang Yulin glanced at them coldly and raised her voice, "She is Princess Roujia, the close friend of Princess Ning'an."

As soon as the words fell, the air around them seemed to freeze, and the crowd fighting for property suddenly became quiet.

Lu Wang stood silently beside the uncle, staring at the crowd in front with a vigilant look on his face.

The old man waved his hands excitedly and said, "Don't grab it now. She is a friend of the princess. The north has been dry for half a year. If you hadn't taught us how to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes, we would have starved to death long ago."

The malicious man got anxious. "If he says so, then so! He just thinks we're easy to fool. Besides, we're just running for our lives, so why would we care about whether we're safe or not?"

"Bah, you bastard!" the old man cursed, leaning on his stick. "You heartless thing, do you think we don't know that you abandoned your mother and sister on the road because they were in the way? God should have sent you to hell to have your tongue pulled out long ago!"

Seeing that everyone was staring at him with unfriendly eyes, the man shrank his neck and ran away in shame without even daring to fart.

The woman took the collected things and quietly placed them on the open space between the two groups. On her wrinkled handkerchief were all the jewelry and silver that the master and servant had just thrown out, not a single one missing.

Roujia felt mixed emotions and took a step forward.

The old man was very ashamed and said, "I'm sorry, sir. All the things are here. Do you think there is something missing? I apologize to you on behalf of everyone." After saying that, he bent his knees and was about to kneel down.

Roujia held back her tears and together with Lutan, she held the old man up and said, "Old man, I don't want these anymore. Take them and run for your lives."

After repeated refusals, the old man reluctantly accepted it.

There were two more people on the way back. Lu Wang turned his head frequently to look behind him, and then he met a pair of slightly red eyes. His face turned red and he quickly turned his head back.

Roujia's eyes fell on the man on the side. "I don't know how to address you, benefactor?"

Zhang Yulin pulled the cart and said, "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. My surname is Zhang and I'm from Kyoto. I had the honor of meeting you when I was watching a play in Xiyuan before. Because my nephew admires Princess Ning'an very much, I also got to know you a little bit."

Roujia looked at the silent man with the severed hand on the cart and asked, "Did your benefactor just come back from the north?"

Zhang Yulin frowned. "It's all because of my unfortunate nephew. He ran away from home while the family wasn't paying attention and went to Jizhou to join the army. The family was in chaos. I had no choice but to ask friends in the martial arts world for help. I finally caught this little bastard. On the way, I picked up another person, the one on the cart."

Unlucky nephew——Lu Wang “——”
