My lady, I'm going to rebel.

It was a mess outside, and Mu Zheng's heart was also in chaos.

He didn't feel safe at all in the strange environment and with strange people.

And Yunniang, where is Yunniang?

Mu Zheng ran out without hesitation.

"Why did you follow me out?" Gong Wen looked at Mu Zheng warily.

Mu Zheng could clearly read the other person's eyes and spread his hands. "Who can stay here when you're yelling about bandits? Where's my wife?"

"Wife?" Gong Wen was stunned. "You are talking about your wife, right? Don't worry, she has someone to take care of her."

"That……"

"Don't be so nervous. We are safe now, so your wife is safe too."

Mu Zheng understood that this was a warning to him not to have any bad intentions. He was about to explain when he heard a loud cry. "Where's Mo Lu? Why are you still outside..."

Gong Wen's face changed and he turned around and ran away.

And Mu Zheng followed closely behind.

Only then did he get a clear view of the stronghold: a stone wall about 60 meters long. Even more remarkable was the presence of a gate, a drawbridge outside, and a trench beneath.

Mu Zheng sighed, this was definitely the layout of a military fortress.

The crying old man was standing at the front of the wall, where quite a few people had gathered. Mu Zheng looked out and saw a group of bandits chasing a girl in front.

The girl stumbled as she ran, her face filled with fear. The bandits could have caught her, but they chose to scare her from behind, like they were playing cat and mouse.

"Damn it." Gong Wen punched the wall, his eyes full of anger.

"Wow..." Then, the old man from the Molu family burst into tears. "Run, kid, run! How did you run into these damn bandits?"

Then, the old man knelt down in front of everyone and said, "Please save my Molu. She is only 14."

Everyone's face turned pale, the men didn't say anything, and the women were silently wiping their tears.

Who dares to rescue people?

No one dares!

Seeing that everyone was silent, the old man turned around and pulled the bearded man beside him, "Liao Min'an, Mo Lu has been calling you Uncle Liao since he was a child."

The corners of Liao Min'an's mouth trembled. He wanted to help the old man up, but the old man was crying out of breath and refused to get up.

"Uncle Liao, let me go." Gong Wen pulled out a dagger from his waist, his eyes burning with anger.

"Nonsense!" the man standing next to Liao Min'an shouted angrily, "Gong Wen, this is not the time for you to show off. These bandits are just trying to force us to lower the drawbridge. What if they rush in once the fort gate opens? Do you want everyone in the fort to be buried with that little girl?"

"Then as soon as I go out, you raise the drawbridge." Gong Wen shouted.

"What are you talking about? If the suspension bridge isn't lowered first, how would you have time to rush back? Are you a tiger or a leopard? How many feet can you keep from them? Even if you can, can Mo Lu do the same?"

The man looked at Gong Wen with a sneer. Mu Zheng didn't know whether it was intentional or not, but he felt his gaze linger on him for a moment. Then he heard him continue to grumble, "Put away your rotten kindness. Don't bring anyone into the fort and try to show off in everything."

"Xie Junfei!" Gong Wen clenched his fists. This guy is a coward, selfish and self-interested!

"Alright!" This time it was the bearded Liao Min'an who spoke up to stop them. "Jun Fei is right. Saving people is too risky."

"But..." Gong Wen wanted to argue, but Mu Zheng interrupted him with a word: "I'll go!"

what?

Everyone seemed to have just noticed Mu Zheng. Of course, it wasn't that they hadn't noticed him just now, but Mu Zheng's words had caught everyone's attention.

"Who are you?" Xie Junfei asked.

"His name is Mu Zheng, the person I rescued." Gong Wen took the initiative to introduce him.

"Hmph, an outsider shouldn't get involved." Xie Junfei rolled his eyes. "I finally rescued you, and now you're trying to commit suicide. I might as well have thrown you into the river to feed the fish."

Why does this sound so wrong?

However, Mu Zheng also noticed that Xie Junfei and Gong Wen were not getting along. Coincidentally, Mu Zheng also disliked him. He seemed to be rationally trying to stop Gong Wen from saving the man, but every word he said was so cold.

This is not someone worth making close friends with.

"Brother!" Liao Min'an also found Xie Junfei's words harsh, so he stepped forward to smooth things over. "These bandits just want some food. They'll take everything and leave, but if we resist, there will be endless trouble."

"Haha." Mu Zheng sneered, "They just grab some things and leave? Then what's going on with this Mo Lu?"

The bearded man's face froze, then turned red.

Xie Junfei, on the other hand, sneered again: "That can only be considered Mo Lu's bad luck!"

As he spoke, he pointed at the group of bandits and said, "Let's not even talk about whether we can defeat these bandits. Even if we really fight to the death, how many of us can come back alive? These bandits kill without blinking an eye."

Mu Zheng understood that Xie Junfei just felt that it was not worth taking the risk to save a little girl.

hypocrite!

Gong Wen's eyes lit up as he remembered that Mu Zheng had killed more than a dozen soldiers and officers. He must be a martial arts expert.

"Brother, are you sure?"

Mu Zheng wanted to go and rescue people alone, which seemed unrealistic to everyone.

"I'll go with you!" Gong Wen volunteered.

However, this time Xie Junfei did not object. Mu Zheng had said that he was going to deal with everyone and would not come back until all the bandits were killed.

Therefore, there is no need to keep the fort gate open for a long time.

As for Gong Wen, if he wants to commit suicide, just let him go, so that I won’t be annoyed by seeing him every day.

"No, I have my own arrangements."

Mu Zheng had just asked, and he knew that people in Xiejiabao often went into the mountains to hunt, so bending the bow and shooting arrows was not a difficult task.

However, since it was a homemade bow and arrow, the bowstring had weak elasticity and the arrowheads were mostly scrap iron and sharp wood, so the lethality was not strong.

"Let me ask you, how is your accuracy within twenty steps?"

“Never miss a shot!”

"Within ten steps?"

"Iron arrows can penetrate flesh!"

"Okay then. I'll lead all the bandits to the suspension bridge, and you'll be in charge of sniping them."

As soon as Mu Zheng finished speaking, Xie Junfei sneered, "You're being too arrogant, aren't you? Even if you lead the bandits to the front of the trench, what will happen? They'll retreat if they see the situation is not right."

Everyone else had the same thought. They had thought Mu Zheng was brave and courageous, but now it seemed he was just a simpleton. If any of the bandits escaped, it would undoubtedly bring endless dangers to the fort.

"Retreat?" Mu Zheng looked at the terrain outside the fort. It was a valley. Although the terrain was open, there was only one direction to pass. "No retreat, because I will be the one to cut off all their escape routes."

Uh……

This time, not only Xie Junfei was speechless, even Liao Min'an felt that Xie Junfei was bragging too much.

"Arrogant!" Xie Junfei snorted coldly. Judging from his attitude, he obviously would not agree with Mu Zheng's plan.

Mu Zheng was too lazy to look at him, but looked at Gong Wen.

Gong Wen's eyes flashed, and then he nodded heavily to Mu Zheng. Mu Zheng understood, and suddenly turned over and stood on the wall, then grabbed the wall with his hands, letting his whole body hang outside the wall, and then like a creeper, he jumped out of the fort in two or three steps.

This?

Everyone was stunned.
