If the bandits delayed by even a little more, it would give Xie Wanqing a bit more life. The guards surrounded the carriage and could only delay until reinforcements arrived.

Xie Wanqing did not bring many people with her this time. She was just a born daughter, even if they wanted to bring her along, no one would be willing to leave.

She knew that as long as she walked out of the courtyard, there would be no end to her attacks, but even so, in order to meet Du Fa, she had to take the risk and come out. Hiding away would not calm the situation down, but it would make the other party even more arrogant.

That day, she only told the madame that she was going to the Hanshan Temple and did not notify the Madame Ye and the Concubine Fang. Fortunately, she had made it up the mountain safely.

Unexpectedly, the return trip was not peaceful.

She quietly lifted a bit of the curtain and looked outside. There were twice as many bandits as the guards.

After she had left the mansion, the other party had already counted the number of guards that had gone out before sending people to kill her.

"What's there to be afraid of?" The bandit leader said, "Brothers, you've licked our lips and licked our blood for so many years. What kind of people have you never seen before? Without money, even if you had the Emperor, we'd still kill you!"

As he spoke, he rushed over to engage the guards in a chaotic battle.

Mama Zeng immediately pulled down the curtain and hugged Xie Wanqing tightly, consoling him, "Miss, don't be afraid, the guards can definitely catch those despicable bandits, don't be afraid …"

She trembled as she spoke, but she still had to trick Xie Wanqing not to be afraid.

Mama Zeng had followed beside Madame Ye for many years, but she had never seen such a bloody scene. The sounds of weapons colliding, screams of agony, and the sound of blades chopping into flesh could be heard from outside all the way through the thin curtain of the carriage.

Yue Xin who was at the side had also turned pale, her hands and feet turning cold.

Xie Wanqing had lived for two lifetimes, and this was the first time she had seen such a scene. However, she knew that she could not panic. If she panicked, there would truly be only death.

Previously, when she took the risk to come to see Du Fa, she was already prepared to encounter such a thing. She could not die yet, she had yet to expose her revenge on the Concubine Fang, and Xie Wanyun. She did not even have the time to call him mother yet, was she really going to die such an aggrieved death?

No, no.

But when she heard the clashing of blades and halberds outside, and heard the miserable cries, Xie Wanqing's entire being became as stiff as wood. She was so afraid that she could not even move.

But the strong desire to live burst out from his heart, and Xie Wanqing's mind suddenly became clear. She turned around and took the knife that was used to cut the fruit skin from the table. With all her heart, she slashed her own hand, causing blood to gush out.

"Miss, what's with you, are you bewitched?" Seeing her in such a state, Mama Zeng did not react at all, only until her hands began to bleed did she speak up to persuade her.

As she said this, she took out her handkerchief and covered her wound. Although she used a lot of strength in her cut, her small strength was also small. She was also frightened, so her wound wasn't considered deep.

Xie Wanqing's hand felt a scorching pain, and his entire body finally had a bit of strength, as if she was suddenly revived.

The bandits outside had the advantage of numbers, and if they took the money, they would definitely take her life. The guards, on the other hand, were usually well-trained and had decent martial arts skills, but they had lost half their manpower.

In addition, the other party was a fugitive, and even if he risked his life, he only needed to complete the mission. The guards, on the other hand, had families, so no matter how loyal they were, they wouldn't think of risking their lives against him. This would be their second weakness.

If this battle continued, the guards would be exhausted and everyone would die here.

Xie Wanqing held onto Mama Zeng's hand and stood up. After the shock just now, her legs were still soft.

"Don't be afraid Mama, Xianqing has to cheer for the guards, or else they won't be able to hold on for long. Xianqing doesn't want to die, and I don't want to either." She pulled away Mama Zeng from her hand and supported herself on the carriage wall.

Mama Zeng only felt that this Second Miss seemed to have suddenly become a completely different person. Previously, she was quiet and weak during Marquis Anyang's Mansion, but now, she was stronger than anyone else.

Xie Wanqing did not have time to care about what the Mama Zeng thought. She looked at Yue Xin and asked, "Can you still stand up?"

With a pale face, Yue Xin went over to help her up. Xie Wanqing waved her hand to indicate that he did not need to, and said, "Lift open the carriage's curtain." "No," she said.

Just now, when she lifted the curtain, she saw that although the guards were fighting with the bandits, they were still surrounding the carriage. They had left two people to guard the carriage, otherwise they would not be safe and sound.

Yue Xin lifted the curtain and looked back at the guards in the middle of the battle. She immediately shouted: "Protect the young miss!"

Xie Wanqing shook her head at the man, what she wanted to do now was not to hide in the horse carriage and act like a cowardly turtle, but to fight alongside them, even though she was young and had no battle prowess, her words could still be like blades.

"You can say whatever I say later." she said to Yue Xin.

Although Yue Xin did not know what she meant, she did not know why she felt abnormally calm in his heart.

"My fellow guards, I am a Second Miss from the Marquis Anyang's Mansion. Xie Wanqing, even though I am young, I know that breaking into pieces would not do justice to me. If I am unable to defeat all of you today, it will also be my life. If all of you die, I, Xie Wanqing, will not live alone, and only pity my parents who sent the black haired man away.

"If all of you are able to capture this group of bandits today, it would be my, Xie Wanqing's, fortune, and all of you would be my savior. From now on, if any of you have any difficulties, feel free to come and find me.

Her words made it clear that if the guards were no match for her, then they would only end up being killed by the bandits, extinguishing any thoughts they had of giving up on her if they felt that they were no match for her.

Moreover, if she was captured, there would only be death, and this way, even if the guards made it back alive, they would still be punished by the Marquis Anyang's Mansion. There would no longer be anyone willing to ask them to be guards, and who would dare to take the guard who made it back alive while leaving their master?

First, he blocked all of the guards' escape routes, and then he used temptation. If he won, he would receive a heavy reward and a promise from Marquis Anyang's Mansion. This was something that the guards wouldn't even dare to think about.

As a result, when they heard Yue Xin's words, they were slightly discouraged and had some strength. Seeing this, Xie Wanqing added fuel to the fire and said: "Everyone, do you want to die or live, die or die, or just rise up the ranks? All of this is today's battle, are you all willing to die under the hands of these mysterious bandits? Would you like to die and see your wives and daughters bullied?! Do you want to see your parents cry every day?! "

Her questions poked the guards' hearts. Originally, the guards only came to the Marquis Anyang's Mansion to beg for food and didn't actually kill anyone when they practiced martial arts. As a result, they couldn't do anything about it.

However, one of the guards was different. He was a local ruffian before, and now he had spent money to get someone to bring him into the house of the Marquis to be a guard. Everyone had said that the job was leisurely, but he had not expected to encounter such a deadly situation.

But no matter what, things had already happened and there was no medicine for regret in this world. The most important thing was to find a way to live. Adding on what Xie Wanqing said, he made up her mind. With a slash of her blade, she cut the bandit beside him into two, and with a raise of his head, he howled: "F * ck, kill me!"

His face was still stained with blood, this sound was even louder than Yue Xin's, it was mixed with unwillingness and excitement. In an instant, everyone's morale was high, their blood was boiling in their hearts, and they were no longer afraid. They all raised the knives in their hands.

As the saying goes, you can bear to part with your body, but you still dare to drag the emperor down. The guards fought with their lives, while the bandits were scared. Originally, they were only good at assassins, but now they were pretending to be bandits to hide from others. They might not have the advantage if they brazenly fought with others.

As the two sides clashed, Xie Wanqing knew that the situation was not good. If there were no more reinforcements, the outcome would be uncertain.

Logically speaking, this road should be the official road leading to Hanshan Temple in the capital. Many people would pass by this road every day, so if the bandits wanted her life, they could only end it quickly. Otherwise, when others arrived, it would be difficult to obtain them.
