Crossing Over to Yamada Love

Wang's face also changed color. She remembered the time many years ago when her whole family was exiled and encountered bandits, and all the color drained from her face.

"Grandma, everything will be alright, don't worry." Mo Lan grasped her grandmother's hand with her own, giving her strength.

"Do you have anything to protect yourself?" Wang's hands were still trembling, but she forced herself to calm down and began to search, just in case. They needed to be able to protect themselves.

Mo Lan also helped search. There weren't many things in the car, and the only sharp weapon they had was a dagger. After thinking for a moment, she put the dagger in her grandmother's hand, then pulled out the silver hairpin from her grandmother's hair, as she herself wasn't wearing one.

"Take the dagger, and give me the hairpin." Madam Wang returned the dagger to Mo Lan, took the hairpin from her, and opened a package full of jewelry. She picked up another hairpin, one in each hand, just to be on the safe side.

Just then, the sounds of fighting came from outside, indicating that two sides had started fighting. Mo Lan hadn't heard a sound from the people blocking her way. Clearly, they weren't ordinary bandits.

The sound of horses' hooves approached. Mo Lan's heart clenched, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes. Could it be?

"Young Master Xue, how's it going up ahead?" The coachman's voice rang out, and Mo Lanxin breathed a sigh of relief.

"You don't need to worry about what's in front; just protect the people inside the car."

It was Xue Lingfeng's voice. Mo Lan hurriedly pulled down the curtain on the car window.

"Yes, I understand," the driver hurriedly replied.

Xue Lingfeng led Mo Changhe to the carriage window and placed him on the front seat. He lowered his voice and said to Mo Lan, "There are fifty of them. They don't seem to be ordinary strongmen. They should all be trained guards. This should be premeditated. The two sides are evenly matched. They are fighting very hard and we can't take them down in a short time. I've sent two people to guard here. You must be very careful."

Mo Lan nodded to him and said in a deep voice, "Take care of yourself. Don't come to see me with injuries."

Xue Lingfeng glanced at Mo Lan, said nothing, and rode off again. He had to fight the enemy and protect the girl behind him.

Fifty skilled fighters. Mo Lan's heart sank. Who were they after? If Xue Lingyun and Xue Lingfeng hadn't brought their men, this would have been a truly perilous situation.

"Father, come in." Mo Lan hurriedly called Mo Changhe in. The fight outside wasn't just a brawl among the villagers; it was a life-or-death struggle. Swords and spears have no eyes, and it wouldn't do if something happened to her father.

Mo Changhe lifted the curtain and came in. He couldn't quite describe his feelings. He was a little panicked, but he was a man and he really wanted to help. Unfortunately, he couldn't. He hadn't learned any martial arts, and going up there would only be suicide. So, he was unwilling to give up and could only stay here.

"Grandma, young lady, may we come up?" came a woman's voice from outside.

Mo Lan looked down and saw that the two old women, Bai and Feng, and the two maids, Chunhua and Xiayu, were standing under the carriage, presumably wanting to get on.

"Come on up," Mo Lan agreed. After what had happened, it would be safer for everyone to be together. Besides, there were two guards sent by Xue Lingfeng in her carriage, so it was somewhat safer. However, this made the carriage a bit crowded, but fortunately, it was a large carriage, and everyone managed to get a seat.

Mo Lan observed the expressions of the four people. They were quite composed. The two old women had experienced a lot and were able to keep their composure. The two young maids did not scream or panic. It seemed that the servants in the Marquis's mansion were of good quality.

"Are you scared?" Mo Lan asked the group in a low voice.

Old Lady Bai smiled and said, "We were sent by the Marquis to protect the old lady and young lady. If the old lady and young lady are not afraid, why should we be? Don't worry, old lady and young lady, even if it costs us our lowly lives, we will definitely protect the safety of the old lady and young lady."

The other three nodded. Mo Lan was taken aback; she hadn't expected them to say that.

"You all need to be careful. Everyone's life is precious. Take care of yourselves and don't get hurt." After saying this, Mo Lan fell silent and listened intently to the sounds outside.

"Where did this madman come from? Get the hell away from here!" the coachman shouted.

Mo Lan opened a crack in the window and looked out. Seven burly, masked men approached the carriage.

The two men sent by Xue Lingfeng were entangled in a fight with the other side. With two against one, the two men couldn't spare a moment. The sound of the coachman's whip rang out, indicating that the coachman was also fighting the masked man.

A masked man grabbed the coachman's whip and dragged him off the carriage. One man fought with the coachman, while two others came to the carriage.

The carriage curtain was lifted, and a masked man looked in. There were quite a few people inside; they were probably all there. He was sizing up who their target was.

Mo Changhe was at the front, pushing the masked man away. The masked man grabbed Mo Changhe with a quick movement, and in that opening, Xia Yu and Granny Bai, who were in front, attacked simultaneously. Both of them had broken blades in their hands and stabbed at the masked man from the left and right.

The masked man was stunned. It was too late to dodge. He lifted Mo Changhe up and used him as a shield.

When Bai Pozi and Xia Yu saw that it was Mo Changhe, they quickly stopped.

"Hehe." The masked man sneered. Mo Changhe realized he was in the way, so he struggled with all his might, tilted his head back and hit the masked man's head, then lunged forward and fell onto the carriage.

Seeing that Mo Changhe was out of control, Xia Yu and Granny Bai hurriedly used their daggers to stab the masked man again.

Mo Lan noticed their agility, indicating they must have some training. She hadn't expected her great-uncle to send martial arts experts to protect them. Now she could feel a little more at ease.

The masked man had no choice but to get out of the car. Granny Bai and Xia Yu did not follow. Although they knew a few moves and were stronger than ordinary people, they were no match for the masked man. Their job was to protect people's safety inside the car.

Less than a minute later, the masked man got back into the car. Xia Yu and Granny Bai attacked again, fighting the masked man. Everyone in the car was focused on them.

Just then, the back door of the carriage was kicked open with a bang, and another masked man appeared. Mo Lan and Wang Shi were sitting at the very back.

As soon as the carriage started moving, Mo Lan and Wang Shi were both startled. Without saying a word, the masked man reached out to pull Wang Shi and Mo Lan off the carriage. By then, it was too late for the maids and old women to save them.

With trembling hands, Wang forcefully thrust both silver hairpins at the masked man. The masked man dodged towards Mo Lan, for he had clearly seen her shaking. She was just a young girl; she must have been terrified. She was safer here.

Mo Lan screamed, letting the masked man grab her. Seeing him dodge towards her, she lunged forward, landing on top of him, and plunged the dagger in her hand into his waist.

The masked man was overjoyed when Mo Lan pounced on him, finally managing to catch someone. But then he felt a sharp pain in his waist and felt something warm flowing out of his body.

Mo Lan made a solid cut and forcefully pulled the dagger out. Just as she raised her arm, the masked man, reacting quickly, grabbed her hand, his eyes fierce as he glared at her. He snatched the dagger from her hand.

At this moment, Wang was also pulled off the carriage, and her maids and servants behind her quickly got off as well.

When Mo Changhe saw that his daughter had been subdued, his eyes immediately turned red. He roared and rushed over to attack the masked man.

The masked man pulled Mo Lan aside. Mo Lan was shocked. He had been stabbed by her, yet he hadn't fallen down immediately and was still able to pull her aside. This man was very powerful. If she hadn't stabbed him, they would probably have been dealt with by him by now.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the other masked man abandoned Granny Bai and Xia Yu to come and help. Granny Bai and Xia Yu hurriedly chased after him and continued to block him, holding him off for as long as they could.

Granny Feng and Chunhua rushed towards the wounded masked man. Their movements were haphazard, clearly indicating they didn't know martial arts; they were only acting out of sheer enthusiasm. The masked man's movements slowed, and his wound continued to bleed, but he struggled to hold on.

Seeing this, Wang gritted her teeth, went behind the masked man, and plunged the hairpin in her hand into his back. After piercing the masked man, Wang collapsed to the ground like a deflated balloon. The masked man shuddered, unable to hold on any longer, and fell forward. Mo Lan was in front of him, and if he fell, he would crush Mo Lan beneath him.

Mo Changhe hurriedly pushed the masked man's body away, preventing him from pressing down on his daughter. He was afraid that his daughter would be seriously injured if he pounced on her.

Seeing his accomplice fall, another masked man's eyes turned red. He rushed over and swung his knife at Wang, who was slumped on the ground.

Mo Lan was blocked by the masked man and couldn't get through in time. Mo Changhe pushed the masked man, but they couldn't get through either.

Seeing the masked man's knife heading towards Wang Shi, Mo Lan's pupils dilated, and she shouted, "No!"

Wang heard the sound of wind behind her, but she had just stabbed the masked man with her hairpin, and her strength was already exhausted. Her body went limp and she collapsed to the ground, too weak to dodge.

In desperation, the maid and old woman facing the masked man stabbed at his lower back with their double broken blades, hoping he could dodge and turn around to defend himself, thus indirectly saving Wang Shi.

The masked man ignored them and continued to attack, his sword still slashing at Wang.

With two sharp thuds, both Granny Bai's and Xia Yu's broken blades pierced the masked man's lower back. The masked man, weakened by the two blows, didn't stop, but he wasn't finished. He had to kill this old woman to avenge his brother. Seeing his success imminent, a bloodthirsty glint appeared in the masked man's eyes. The masked man who had died was his own brother; at this moment, he didn't care about any mission. As long as he killed this old woman, he could face his brother's spirit in heaven.

Just as the knife was about to fall, and if it struck, Wang Shi would likely be doomed. Mo Changhe and Mo Lan rushed over as fast as they could, but it was too late. At that moment, only Granny Feng and Chunhua were by Wang Shi's side. Granny Feng was stunned, while the maid named Chunhua gritted her teeth and threw herself on top of Wang Shi, shielding her with her own body at the critical moment.
