Noble Lady

In the firelight, there was a chilling murderous intent in Yumei's small eyes.

Xue Chenyu's heart moved, and before she could call her, she heard a voice coming from outside the government office -

"It's General Xue! General Xue is here—"

A loud shout came from somewhere.

Everyone then heard the deep, middle-aged male voice say, "Commanders and soldiers, follow this general to capture the bandits and restore peace to the people of Haicheng County!"

Then the soldiers shouted in unison: "Capture the bandits!"

"Come on!"

Is that Daddy's voice?

The heavy stone that had been hanging in Xue Chenyu's heart finally fell to the ground.

County government office.

The bandit leader Pei Dahu has been brought to justice.

The other bandits lost their morale when they saw that they had lost their backbone and a large group of people had arrived from outside.

Surrender.

The two brothers, Big Bear and Second Bear, barely rolled out the fire on their bodies and wanted to touch their knives, but the cold blades were already on their necks.

"Behave yourself! Put your hands up!"

“…Honest, honest!”

Big Bear and Little Bear raised their hands at the same time. Their muscular appearance and cowardly expressions made them look really honest.

Pei Erhu was even more obedient. He hugged the body of his brother Pei Dahu and sighed with a sad smile: "I told you that this is not a simple matter. There might be a trap. Why won't you listen to me?"

"You always say I have a bad mouth, but many things in this world are not as smooth as you imagine. If you are willing to listen to me, just stay in the village honestly today."

Yumei stared at him coldly, the dagger in her hand still dripping with blood.

He only glanced at her quickly before turning away nervously, "...Little girl, I have no grudge against you. You, you can't use surgery on me..."

"Coward!" Yumei snorted coldly, handed the person to Fang Rui and the others, then walked past the bandits who were still wailing from the fire on the ground, and walked towards Xue Chenyu in the shadows.

But in the eyes of the bandits, a little girl who was not even as tall as their chests could kill people with a sharp knife without even blinking, which was so skillful.

She left alone, and they also thought that she walked into the darkness alone. Her resolute back was terrifying to look at!

soon.

Marquis Xue then rushed in with his men.

However, he discovered that all the bandits in the county government garden had been captured.

There is not much for them to contribute.

If you insist that there was, then they were helping to pass the rope, tie people up, and drag them away.

Pei Erhu was also forced to be separated from the body of his elder brother Pei Dahu and was taken away.

Before leaving, he looked around and his eyes finally fell on Marquis Xue.

"You look like you're very capable of leading troops in battle. It's not unfair for my elder brother to lose to you."

Xue Hou said sullenly, "Drag him away!"

He happened to hear everything the man said while holding his elder brother's body and complaining.

Given the situation of these bandits, if they go down the mountain they will die, and if they don't they will starve to death.

The bandit leader knew there was danger, but for the sake of others' chance of survival, he accepted the danger even though he knew it was coming. Even if this kind of person died, he would still respect him as a hero who dared to take responsibility for his actions.

As for the living person, a person who cannot live and die with his brothers and is still making sarcastic remarks when he is about to die, even if such a person survives, he will not be of much use.

"Lord Xue, it's a good thing you arrived in time." Fang Rui pulled out the sword that had just killed the bandit and hurried towards Lord Xue.

"Brother Fang, you've worked hard. Those few scattered bandits on the street have been dealt with, so we should be safe for the time being."

As he spoke, Marquis Xue patted his shoulder in appreciation, "No wonder the prince left you to guard the county government office. You're still so capable of repelling the enemy. You're amazing."

Fang Rui subconsciously looked at Xue Chenyu in the darkness.

He couldn't see where Miss Xue was exactly, but she was definitely in the shadows that couldn't be seen in the open.

This is also what she meant.

She is a weak woman, unable to carry anything, and if she insists on standing out, she will only become a target.

If she shows up, she will definitely become the target of the bandits. Then, both Yao Biaotou and Fang Rui himself will have to distract themselves to protect her, which may put the situation into a passive position, which is not good.

Facts proved that Miss Xue was right. She did not show up, but just commanded from nearby and captured these bandits.

"Brother Fang Rui?" Marquis Xue called again.

Fang Rui quickly came to his senses, "Mr. Xue, you are too kind, but what happened tonight is not my fault."

Marquis Xue was surprised, "The prince also left a military advisor for you?"

Fang Rui said ambiguously: "...I guess so. Lord Xue, come with me and you'll find out."

Xue Hou thought to himself, why do young people nowadays like to do such mysterious things?

"Brother Fang Rui, now that everything is settled at the county government office, I still have some things to attend to, so I'll leave this place to you."

"Aren't you going to go see Miss Xue Da and Miss Xue Er?"

"Are they all okay?" asked Marquis Xue.

"I'm fine." That's all Fang Rui could say.

Not to mention that the second Miss Xue is in the warehouse, the eldest Miss Xue is also very safe.

"As long as they're alright, business is more important. Brother Fang Rui, I'll be asking you to help take care of my daughter for a while. I'll definitely prepare a generous gift and come back to express my gratitude."

"...My Lord, there is no need to do this. This is what I should do! Besides, Miss Xue has always been very caring towards me. Today's events are all thanks to her!" Fang Rui's hands were about to leave afterimages.

How could he dare to take credit for such a great achievement? The prince would definitely take his head back!

"My Yu'er is truly remarkable, so I'd like to ask Brother Fang Rui to take care of her and her sisters. I have something important to attend to, so please leave it to me!"

After Xue Hou clasped his fist towards Fang Rui, he asked his deputy general to blow the horn, telling everyone to finish the tasks at hand as soon as possible.

Then he walked out quickly and set off again.

He thought Fang Rui was talking about his daughter buying a large amount of grain for disaster relief, and he didn't think about her commanding everyone to kill and capture the bandits.

When Xue Hou asked Fang Rui for help, Xue Chenyu was actually watching from a distance.

Du Jingyuan also asked her, "Why didn't you go out and meet your father? If Marquis Xue knew how powerful you are, he would be so happy."

Xue Chenyu's face was calm, "It's enough for the Xue family to have my father, a victorious general."

She was referring to the title of Ever-Victorious General.

She didn't need to, and didn't dare to, rely on just one stroke of luck to earn the reputation of being able to lead troops in battle.

She doesn't need such a title, and besides, the tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.

Their mansion is already eye-catching enough. If my father had not been such a good fighter and attracted jealousy, and if he had not been such an upright person, he would not have ended up like that in his previous life.

In this life, she only hopes that her family members are safe and sound, so it is better to keep a low profile.

Knowing that her father was fine, she could rest assured.

"Let's go, everything is fine for now. We should go to the warehouse to greet Luoluo and the others."

Du Jingyuan's lips curled up, "Yeah, I have to praise Du Juan too, the little girl did a good job."

The two smiled at each other.
