Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

The bandits came with great momentum, looking like they would not give up until they got the silver they were satisfied with.

Dong Jiafu took a look into the carriage. In addition to dry food and clothes, the most important things were the medicinal herbs and some spare medicines they brought from the clinic.

She wanted to save the banknotes to buy the snow spirit grass, and fearing such a thing, she asked Xia Zhi to sew the banknotes into her inner clothes before she left. Mao Feng took the small change, and spent some of it on the way, and the rest was in the hands of these thieves.

Dong Jiafu went over and took the medicine box containing the medicinal herbs.

"Miss Dong, give me the medicine box." Tan Hao reached out his hand. "I am a man, I will protect the things inside."

Without time to think, Dong Jiafu handed him the medicine box and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Brother."

The bandits had already arrived outside the carriage. Dong Jiafu and Tan Hao got off the car and immediately went in to search.

They searched everything in the carriage, and the two men got out with nothing.

"Brother, there is nothing valuable in there."

The man with a face full of flesh had already noticed the medicine box on Tan Hao's body. Hearing what he said, he concluded that all the valuables were in the medicine box.

"You, bring that box to me." The man pointed at Tan Hao.

Tan Hao hugged the medicine box tightly to his chest, "There is no silver in it. These are just ordinary medicinal herbs, not worth much."

"Just because you say there's none, there's none? I only believe what I see with my own eyes." The man came over and tried to grab the medicine box.

They couldn't win in a head-on confrontation. Dong Jiafu was worried that Tan Hao would get hurt, so she said before the man stretched out his hand, "It doesn't hurt to show you."

The man didn't expect her to say such a thing. He was stunned for a moment, as if he was thinking whether what she said was true or not. Perhaps he felt that the two of them could not escape from their control today, so he stopped and said, "Open——"

Dong Jiafu turned to Tan Hao and said, "It's okay, senior brother, open it and show it to them."

Tan Hao loosened his grip slightly and held the medicine box in his arms.

Dong Jiafu opened the medicine box and showed it to the man layer by layer.

The man picked up a herb and smelled it, not knowing what it was, and threw it back impatiently.

Tan Hao thought he had passed the test and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard the man say, "Search them!"

Tan Hao was startled and immediately stood in front of Dong Jiafu, "Don't touch her, she has no money. I have a few taels of silver in my purse. If you don't mind, take it."

A thief accurately snatched the purse from Tan Hao's waist, opened it, and looked at him disdainfully. He searched him from head to toe, but found nothing.

The man with a face full of flesh stared at Tan Hao, "Get out of my way, or I'll stab you!"

Tan Hao remained motionless.

Seeing the man fiercely pulling out the dagger, Dong Jiafu quickly stood up and opened her arms, "I don't have any silver on me. We gave you all our money."

The man looked at Dong Jiafu's slender waist, his eyes warmed up, he put away the dagger and rubbed his hands, saying: "Let me search it, and I will let you go..."

"Don't touch the girl—" Maofeng, who was lying on the ground, struggled to get up and pushed the man away from behind.

"Looking for death--" The man became furious after he stood firm, and stabbed Maofeng's chest with the dagger in his hand.

At this time, the leading man spoke up to stop them, "Stop!"

The man paused and said dissatisfiedly: "Brother, why are you stopping me? It's not like we haven't killed anyone before."

"Don't kill people for no reason. We only want money. Take the things and leave quickly." The leading man glanced at the medicine box and said, "Seeing how nervous they are about this box, the things inside may be able to sell for some money. Take it and leave."

If it were normal times, it wouldn't matter if we gave them these herbs, they could buy them in Xizhou. But the situation in Xizhou City was unclear, and once a war broke out, herbs would be in short supply, so we absolutely couldn't give them these herbs.

Tan Hao hugged the medicine box tightly and stepped back, while Dong Jiafu opened her arms to block him.

"This is my mother's life-saving medicine. Please, kind-hearted people, spare me."

"Since it's a life-saving medicine, it's even more valuable. Give it to me!" The man with a ferocious face tried to grab it.

Dong Jiafu was standing in front of him and was pushed to the ground by him, her leg hitting a stone half buried in the ground.

In desperation, Tan Hao could only think of a stupid way, which was to lie down and protect the medicine box under his body.

The man sneered, "You don't know your own limitations..."

The man was halfway through his words when he suddenly couldn't move his feet. He looked down and saw that it was Maofeng holding his legs.

"You asked for this—" The man raised the dagger and stabbed it into Maofeng's back.

Dong Jiafu sat up from the ground and saw this scene and shouted in horror: "Maofeng, get out of the way!"

Maofeng looked up and smiled at her, while his arms tightly held the man.

Seeing that the man's dagger was about to pierce Maofeng's chest, Dong Jiafu rolled over and crawled to stop him.

The leading man did not say anything this time, but just watched coldly.

At the critical moment, something suddenly came out of nowhere. Before anyone could react, they heard a scream from a man with a face full of flesh.

The dagger in his hand fell weakly, cutting a hole in Mao Feng's clothes, and another dagger dropped from the sky pierced his arm. The man held his arm and screamed.

Only then did they hear the sound of horse hooves.

Cui Qiyan jumped off his horse and nervously ran to Dong Jiafu and squatted down. "How are you? Where are you hurt?"

Dong Jiafu looked at him in a daze, "Why are you here?"

"I'll explain it to you later," Cui Qiyan supported her, "Can you get up?"

"I'm fine..." Dong Jiafu stood up with the help of him and limped towards Maofeng, "Maofeng, are you okay?"

Mao Feng turned over and said, "Don't worry, girl. I'm fine."

Cui Qiyan stretched out a hand and pulled him up.

On the other side, Tan Hao also stood up holding the medicine box and said excitedly: "Fortunately, Master Cui arrived in time."

"Brother, you have to avenge me--" The man with a face full of flesh walked to the leading man, staring at Cui Qi Yan.

"You dare to hurt my brother? Come on!" The leading man raised his knife, and the remaining dozen or so thieves also showed their weapons.

But before they could rush over, three people were shot in the legs and fell to the ground.

The bandit leader looked over in shock and saw Ji Bai, who was riding on his horse, had already put three arrows on his horse again, and the arrows were flashing with cold light and aiming at them.

The thieves didn't dare to move for a while.

"Get out of here if you know what's best for you." Cui Qiyan said coldly while holding Dong Jiafu with one hand.

The bandit leader glanced at him and Ji Bai, and after a moment of assessing his chances of winning against them, he said, "Let's go—"

Mao Feng said at this time: "They also robbed our silver..."

Ji Bai pulled the bow to its full length, "Put down everything you stole!"

The two thieves quickly took out two bags of silver from their pockets and put them on the ground.

The bandit leader led them back and then quickly fled.
