Favoring the concubine and killing the wife? She divorced the concubine and lived with her concubine

In the hidden darkness, several furtive figures were whispering to each other in hushed tones. The leader stared intently at the slowly approaching carriage.

"Stop it or not?" A slightly hoarse voice broke the brief silence, and the speaker's eyes revealed a hint of hesitation and uneasiness.

"Is that Brother Hu?" The other man narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he wanted to see the coachman in front of the carriage more clearly. He frowned and tried to recognize a familiar figure from the vague outline.

"I think so." Someone next to him echoed. Although his voice was soft, it was particularly clear in the quiet forest. He nodded slightly as he spoke, as if he was very confident in his judgment.

"What do you mean by 'like'? That's right! Don't stop them, just let them go!" The leader suddenly shouted in a low voice, a hint of fear in his eyes. "Last time I stopped Brother Hu, I got scolded when I got home. Have you forgotten?"

At this time, Liu Hu, who was sitting in the carriage, knew nothing about this. He looked around vigilantly, but there was no movement around, and the silence was a little abnormal.

Liu Hu, secretly on guard, carefully remounted his horse and slowly moved forward. He knew full well that this forest was not a safe place. In the past, when he set up an ambush here, he would cleverly cover the straw rope with fallen leaves in front of the road. When the carriage passed quickly, he would suddenly pull the rope tight, tripping the horse, forcing the carriage to stop and robbing the property.

As expected, when the carriage reached a secluded section of the road, Liu Hu, with his years of experience as a robber, noticed something was amiss. He decisively jumped off the carriage, quickly walked to the side of the road, and pulled out a rope from the pile of fallen leaves. However, to his surprise, there was no one at either end of the rope. Liu Hu was shocked, "What on earth is going on? Is this a deliberate empty city plan?"

In the woods, those sneaky figures were about to retreat, when at that moment, they suddenly heard the sound of dead branches being stepped on and broken behind them.

Everyone was instantly alert, and they turned around with their swords raised. When they saw that the person coming was one of their own, the leader couldn't help but shout angrily: "What are you doing? You're so jumpy!"

The person who brought the news was panting, his voice filled with urgency: "If you don't give me the letter, I will return to South City!"

"Who are you not giving it to? Explain yourself clearly!" Everyone was full of doubts.

"Brother Hu! The higher-ups say we are not allowed to return to South City." The messenger finally finished his words.

"Why the hell should you have said it earlier!" The leader spat, and a group of people immediately covered their faces with swift hands and feet, swung their long swords, and prepared to chase forward.

At almost the same time, Liu Hu and Su Ze both caught sight of unusual movements.

Su Ze immediately shouted: "Drive away!"

Liu Hu also did not delay. He took a long step and jumped onto the carriage neatly. He raised the whip in his hand high and whipped the horse hard, shouting: "Gee!" The horse felt pain, neighed, spread its four hooves, and galloped forward like lightning.

The wooden-wheeled carriage jolted violently along the rugged mountain road, its wheels creaking over rocks and potholes. Xiao Lan and Fang Qingqing, staggering from side to side within the carriage, desperately clutched at the windows, their fingers turning white from the strain, barely able to steady themselves and avoid being thrown out.

Su Ze's carriage followed closely behind.

"Go, go, get the horses! Get the horses!" Seeing the situation was bad, the leader quickly turned and ran back, calling for everyone to follow. After all, on this mountain path, horses were much stronger than carriages. Even if they lost some time turning back to find horses, once they were on horses, it would only take a moment to catch up with the carriage.

Su Ze's eyes were stern. He caught a glimpse of the people behind him dispersing to the side, and he knew in his heart that they must be going to look for horses.

After the carriage ran for a while, he asked the coachman to continue driving the horse forward to chase Xiao Lan, while he jumped off the carriage, took the bow and arrow from his back, crouched down, and ran quickly towards the mountain.

Xiao Lan was sitting in the bumpy carriage. When he heard the carriage behind him stop for a moment and then immediately catch up, his heart skipped a beat and he instantly felt something was wrong.

She gritted her teeth, grabbed the side of the carriage with both hands, and used all her strength to lift the curtain. She shouted to Liu Hu, who was anxiously driving the car, "Su Ze should get off!"

"Is he crazy?" Liu Hu was shocked when he heard this. He knew that in this situation, if Su Ze rashly got out of the car, he would undoubtedly be courting death. He was lucky to be able to protect Xiao Lan and Fang Qingqing from so many fierce bandits. Su Ze was trying to be a hero by going alone.

"He probably wants to help us deal with some of the people in the back. Let's go first! We'll see what happens!"

Liu Hu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Xiao Lan had no intention of asking him to stop. He thought to himself that he didn't mind risking his life for Xiao Lan, but he didn't want to take Xiao Lan with him to die either. He immediately gripped the reins and sped away.

After a while, the group of people on horseback suddenly rushed out from the path like ghosts, but before they could steady themselves, the person in the front fell straight down with a "thump".

"Boss! It's that bow and arrow again!" A man on horseback caught up with the leader, his voice full of fear.

"Take two brothers and go solve it!" The leader's face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it. After saying that, he roared and galloped forward on his horse, trying to shake off this inexplicable threat.

The man obeyed the order and immediately turned around to call his two brothers. The three of them, swords drawn and faces filled with anger, immediately rushed to the side of the path. Before they reached the side of the road, they saw one of them stagger and fall down again. Su Ze stood on the mountain, commanding the view. He could have easily dealt with the remaining two minions, but he caught a glimpse of the people chasing Xiao Lan with the speed of a wolf pouncing on its prey. If he distracted himself to deal with these two people at this time, he was afraid that they would be completely out of range of the arrows.

He gritted his teeth and made up his mind. He ignored the two minions at the foot of the mountain who were rushing towards him with knives in hand and claws bared. He just aimed steadily at the man riding a horse galloping on the road, and the arrow in his hand shot through the air.

The driver behind was quickly caught up, but he did not stop, nor did he even look at the driver. He just hurried to chase the car driven by Liu Hu.

Liu Hu had no time to pay attention to what was behind him, but he could hear the sound of the person chasing him falling off his horse.

"Three..."

When Liu Hu counted to three, the leader had already caught up on horseback and slashed at Liu Hu with a big knife.

Liu Hu made up his mind and shouted, "Sit tight!" He pulled the reins, and the horse was pulled to the side, directly crashing the carriage into the other carriage.

In an instant, several people were thrown off their horses, but the ones who fell didn't even grunt, they jumped up and rushed over with swords raised. They repeated the same trick, two of them rushed over and cut the reins, and the horses rushed out in an instant.

Xiao Lan and Fang Qingqing were dizzy from the impact in the carriage. Before they could control their bodies, they were startled by the big knife coming from the window and shrank back.

Although Su Ze dealt with a few people, Liu Hu still felt exhausted when facing more than a dozen people.

He held the broadsword without hesitation, and soon his eyes were red with blood. He could not leave the carriage even a step, but with his back to the carriage, he could only defend and not attack, and was restricted in every way.

Five or six masked men surrounded him. He heard the sound of a big knife cutting through the carriage behind him. The back was a place he could not take care of.

Ever since the third man fell, the arrows from the distance had stopped flying. He was overwhelmed and cursed angrily, "Where are the damn arrows?"
