Ru Yue Shu Yun Feng Wen Wan

Chapter 31 Hostages

As she thought about it, she became more and more excited and ran away. She saw a bow and arrow on the ox cart and took it.

He Lan, who hadn't noticed for a while:?

No understanding and no respect.

He Ru ran to the foot of the mountain and to the village chief, hoping to find someone to help her realize her idea. But after seeing so many people, she calmed down and decided to finish her business first.

At the foot of the mountain, the people of Hejia Village were buried in the snow, waiting for an opportunity. He Ru's arrival was obviously not at the right time. She quickly found a place and hid not far from the people of Hejia Village.

Just as she had hidden herself like a loach, she saw about thirty or forty people approaching from a distance. They were lingering at the foot of the mountain, not moving forward. Not a single elderly, weak, woman, or child was among them, prompting He Ru to observe them closely. She noticed that while their clothes were ordinary, they didn't have a single patch. Furthermore, they were all neatly dressed, without the shambles of refugees.

It seemed like they were waiting for someone. In the space of a cup of tea, a group of thirty or forty people came down the mountain. One person was escorted at the front, and the wandering people were excited. They brought two large boxes to the front.

The people coming down the mountain were naturally Qiao Mu and the others, but He Ru only saw Qiao Mu and not Mr. Mu. Upon closer inspection, Mr. Mu was also there. Each of them held a sword and had a bow and arrow on their backs.

The two groups began to communicate. He Ru couldn't hear what they were saying in the back, but he only saw the two big boxes being opened, and a dazzling light flashed in an instant. It was gold and jewelry.

He Ru was tempted. She was evaluating the strength of both sides. It seemed that the side holding the gold was weaker, but it would be difficult for the people from Hejia Village to deal with these people. Otherwise, they could just sit on the mountain and watch the fight.

If that doesn't work, simply muddying the water may also provide an opportunity.

He Ru's advantage was reflected later. She quietly mixed in behind the team holding the gold, occupied the high ground, used the bow and arrows she had taken, and made sure she could quickly escape after shooting an arrow, ready to go. The two sides exchanged hostages, and when they saw that the treasure was almost all in Qiao Mu's team.

He Ru drew his bow, aimed, and shot an arrow, then retracted his hand and retreated. There was only a "whoosh" sound, and the others only saw the afterimages of the two arrows. The two arrows shot into the shoulders of the two people holding the hostages in three seconds. Qi Changyun, who was being held hostage, broke free from the shackles of the two people when the arrows were shot, and the people in the team quickly came over to protect him.

The treasure that was about to be carried to the other side was carried back in an instant.

Everything happened so fast and the coordination was seamless, as if that arrow was really a premeditated plan by Qi Changyun's team.

He Ru couldn't help but wonder if there was an arrow behind him that had been aimed at him when he was shooting the arrow, and his back felt cold.

So He Ru was always vigilant afterwards. She didn't dare to get close to the team for fear of being exposed, so she stayed between the two teams.

The people from the Hejia Village team who were lying in ambush:?

They started fighting among themselves, which might not be a bad thing. The village chief was undecided whether to go down and help. Going down to help would increase the chances of winning, but the village chief was unsure of the consequences. Until Yi Fengbai said, "You can help!"

Village Chief He led the others down without asking why. He trusted Yi Fengbai's judgment, and he wanted to help. This move completely confused He Ru. She didn't rush down. In her opinion, this number of people was enough to deal with the people below.

Now it seems that He Ru's judgment was correct. It was not until she saw that "Qiao Mu" was killed easily that she lost her composure. It was fake. Watching that "Mr. Mu" fighting with the two men was also fake, because she had fought with Mr. Mu, and his moves were definitely not like this. These moves were the same as those of others, but Mr. Mu's moves were very tricky, and those two men could definitely not control Mr. Mu.

Yi Fengbai, who was in the middle of it, obviously also noticed something unusual. He only knew that if Qiao Mu was really dead, others would not be so calm. He and Qi Changyun looked at each other and understood each other tacitly, but they didn't know where they had gone, so they had to give up.

Yi Fengbai suddenly thought of a possibility. Qiao Mu wouldn't let his brothers go so easily. Could they be going to get reinforcements? This was unlikely, because Yi Fengbai knew very well that they couldn't have any reinforcements because he knew who Qiao Mu was.

Qiao Mu, whose real name is Qiao Zhong, is the ninth prince of Beirong and a little-known person in Beirong. His biological mother is from Dongyuan. Because he is a mixed-race, he is not liked by the Beirong people and has no support.

Mr. Mu, Mu Chenggui, is an aide to Qiao Mu who appeared at some point in his life. He is a sinister and cunning man, and is decisive in killing. Only after his appearance did the Ninth Prince gain some power.

Their purpose of coming to Xiqing this time is unknown. They are probably here to recruit soldiers because they really have no place in Beirong.

Since they needed people so much, they would never give up on them. There was only one truth: they actually wanted to use Qi Changyun to exchange for money. They could capture a hostage in the team going to Hejia Village and exchange them for He Ru and Yi Fengbai. Because they originally captured Yi Fengbai, and had time to wait for He Ru, but now they have nothing, so they may have captured more than one hostage.

Yi Fengbai sensed something was wrong and left, with Qi Changyun following close behind. They had barely moved away from the battlefield when they were forced back. Some of the people fighting below were confused until they saw the whole scene.

Qiao Mu was seen holding He Lan with one hand and holding a knife against He Ru's neck with the other. Mr. Mu was holding a small child in his arms, with a kind look as if he was looking at his own nephew.

The child was He Chuanpei. Everyone became nervous and stopped.

Qiao Mu said gently, "If you want us to let them go, then send our people over here." His words didn't sound oppressive, as if he truly was that easy to talk to. Seeing his men behind him, Yi Fengbai wanted to take He Chuanpei. Mr. Mu extended his hand, but in an instant, he wanted to withdraw it.

Seeing this, He Ru's hand holding the arrow was shaking. She forced herself to calm down, aimed calmly, and made up her mind.

put!

This time, she thrust even harder. She could hear the arrow piercing the air, and Mr. Mu naturally felt it too. His hand, which had been retracted slightly, stretched out without hesitation. As the arrow struck, the child slipped out of his grasp. Yi Fengbai quickly dropped his sword and caught the child just as it was about to fall. Everyone, who had been holding their breath, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Mr. Mu was struck by the arrow in his shoulder and fell towards Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu didn't move at all, still holding He Lan hostage. His nervousness even caused He Lan's neck to be cut, and there was a trace of blood. Fortunately, Mr. Mu only helped Qiao Mu up and he regained his balance.

Seeing blood seeping from He Lan's neck, the others, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, raised their voices again. Yi Fengbai held the child and said, "Don't get excited, don't get excited, what else do you want to do?"
