She picked up the young prime minister while fleeing famine

The sound reached the foot of the mountain, stunning everyone.

Oh my god, the conscription team is here! The scattered disaster victims no longer cared about the lives of others. They grabbed their belongings and ran away without resting.

Meanwhile, in Yao Li Village, Qi Sanshui's family panicked when they heard Banxia's cries for help. Even Qi Lei, who was unable to walk properly, struggled to get up and try to save her.

"Don't panic, you all stay here, I'll go check it out."

"Ayu and Changshan, keep a close eye on them. Don't let any of them run away." Lian Chengmo reacted immediately.

Lian Chengmo sensed something was wrong the moment he heard Banxia's first cry for help.

After taking several detours, they are no longer on the official roads, so where did the army that was conscripting men come from?

Besides, Yao Li Village had already sent people ahead to scout the way before setting up camp, so there were no problems.

Unless those who conscripted men came on horseback, it would be impossible for them to appear here in such a short time.

But the noise from riding a horse was so loud, how could he not have heard a thing?

Therefore, Lian Chengmo determined that it was not an army that had come, and that the little girl must have had another purpose in shouting like that.

For example, even if the people who come are not soldiers, their military strength is no less than that of the military.

Thinking of all this, Lian Chengmo immediately found Yao Lizheng to explain the situation, selected more than twenty skilled people from the village to rescue Banxia, ​​and the rest quickly narrowed the encirclement, protecting the main force in preparation for evacuation at any time.

Although Lian Chengmo was moving very fast, the guards were not slow either.

In particular, Banxia's repeated cries for help notified the people down the mountain, but also exposed her whereabouts.

But as it turned out, Banxia was right not to confront them head-on. The two men who came to capture her were clearly skilled fighters, even more so than the soldiers from Yaoli Village who had been training for years.

Specifically, Banxia watched helplessly as her opponent dodged the bamboo arrow she shot, then pushed off with his feet and attacked her from mid-air.

"Holy crap, is that some kind of light-footed skill?" Banxia's eyes widened, but thankfully she wasn't completely stunned.

Seeing that the sword was about to reach her, Banxia retreated repeatedly, and finally sat down on the ground, sliding down the slope like a slide.

The leader missed his attack and landed where Banxia had been. This position allowed him to see the situation below the mountain clearly, and his expression immediately became even more grim.

He knew things were going to go wrong the moment that little brat shouted, and sure enough, it did.

A moment later, he seemed to see a familiar figure and immediately spoke to his men beside him.

"Notify your men that Lian Chengmo is here. Go and kill him."

"Remember, our goal is to kill Lian Chengmo. Don't get tangled up with those brutes." The leader sneered, gave the order, and then went after Banxia.

No one can escape from him alive.

However, he was indeed clever; whenever this little girl fell into danger, Lian Chengmo would come to her rescue.

The leader was secretly pleased with his decision, feeling that the mission was in the bag. Although those military households were troublesome, they were not insurmountable given their small numbers.

Besides, he only needed to take the opportunity to kill Lian Chengmo, and that would be the end of his mission. He didn't need to get entangled with these peasants any longer.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the leader's face, and he quickened his pace to catch up with Banxia. However, his smile froze halfway through the chase.

Banxia, ​​who was sliding down the mountain, was shouting loudly.

"Lian Chengmo, run! These people are here to kill you! Run, run!"

Banxia steadied herself and fled while shouting loudly, repeating this several times. Not only did Lian Chengmo hear it, but the guards who had just received the signal at the foot of the mountain also heard it.

"Quickly, kill Lian Chengmo!" The guards were in a hurry and rushed towards the group of men from Yao Li Village even faster.

Upon hearing Banxia's first sound, Lian Chengmo stopped in his tracks, but instead of fleeing, he took out a small cloth bag from his pocket and pressed the arrowhead of a bamboo arrow onto it.

"Whoa!"

Bamboo arrows were shot out one after another, and anyone hit, even if it was just a superficial wound, would collapse to the ground after running only a few steps, unable to muster any strength.

There were twenty or thirty guards. They were shocked to see this and stopped in their tracks to confront the people of Yao Li Village. The two sides were only a few meters apart, within Lian Chengmo's shooting range.

Lian Chengmo had a stern face. Although he was still standing behind the Yao Li Village group, he kept shooting the hidden arrows at the guards.

He didn't need to kill with one shot; hitting the target was enough.

The guards were surprised that Lian Chengmo had taken the opportunity to launch a sneak attack while they had stopped. They were all on high alert, blocking the arrows, and a few even took two steps back.

"What are you all afraid of? With so many of us, how can we not kill Lian Chengmo? He can't aim at all of us with his arrows."

"The master said there will be a great reward for killing Lian Chengmo, so everyone, attack together!" The guard who had been ordered down by the master arrived late and immediately shouted for everyone to attack.

As soon as he finished speaking, the guards seemed to have found their backbone and charged towards Lian Chengmo and his men, brandishing their weapons.

"Everyone, retreat while fighting, and be careful with your lives," Lian Chengmo decisively gave the order.

The villagers of Yaoli Village quickly obeyed and worked together to retreat.

Lian Chengmo retreated amidst the crowd, firing stray arrows as he went, glancing occasionally at the distant hillside, his brows furrowed into a deep frown.

Banxia, ​​please don't let anything happen to you!

Those guards were all well-trained and had really high combat skills. Every move they made was aimed at vital points, which was something that the military households in Yao Li Village could not compare to.

If Lian Chengmo hadn't shot a few people with poisoned arrows at the beginning, they would have suffered a great loss in a single encounter.

Now, Lian Chengmo is hiding behind and shooting arrows from the shadows. One arrow hits and the other falls, which shows that the bamboo arrows are coated with deadly poison. The guards are hesitant and timid, so the fight ends in a draw.

Meanwhile, in the camp further away, Yao Lizheng saw this situation and his face darkened, seemingly lost in thought.

Banxia called out several times, and he knew that these people were after the young master. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.

If all they wanted was for the young master to be safe, they could simply hand him over. But the young master had been so devoted to their village, and Village Chief Yao couldn't break his promise...

Meanwhile, Banxia's bottom was burning with rage. Finally, she slid down the slope, touched her bottom, and without delay, got up and ran.

As she ran, she secretly decided that once she survived this time, she would find someone to teach her lightness skill. Even if she couldn't win, at least she could escape.

But now she couldn't escape. The guard leader used his light-footed skills to descend the steep slope in a few moves and caught up with Banxia in no time.

Banxia, ​​in her panic, had no choice but to send him a few arrows to relieve the pressure.

"You brat, if you run again I'll chop you into mincemeat!" the guard leader cursed angrily. He had never been tricked by a little girl before.

"You think you can let me go if I don't run away?" Banxia retorted, and continued running.

However, she didn't go down the mountain in the same direction as she went up. As she ran, she ended up at a cliff with no way forward.

"..." Banxia, ​​there's something I don't know whether I should say or not.
