"Villagers!" Among the refugees, a thin man who looked like a scholar stood up and said passionately,"Think about how we were still wandering around on the streets a few days ago, not having enough to eat or wear! If it weren't for Miss Manru's help, would we have been able to live a stable life? She tried her best to help us, giving up her superior life and working hard. She even invited a wolf into her house. Could it be that we, with over a thousand people, were frightened by a dozen people and watched her be bullied?”
"Yo! There really are people who are not afraid of death!" The leader said fiercely and gave a look to the few companions who were close to the scholar. The few accomplices quickly walked towards the scholar, fiddling with the swords in their hands as they walked.
"Yes, what Brother Ma said makes sense. We can't be heartless!”
It seemed that this Brother Ma was very popular. A group of people immediately followed suit. They stood up and surrounded Brother Ma in the middle, looking at the few villains who had come. The leader saw that the situation was not good and quickly signaled for more people to go up. He knew that if he didn't suppress these people, they would be in danger if they stirred up the emotions of these refugees.
How could Wei Xiaobao miss such a good opportunity? He whispered a few words into Hu Zi's ear, and the two of them suddenly rushed out together, shouting,"The soldiers are here. Everyone, catch these people. Don't let them escape.”
When Brother Ma saw that there were only two of them running out and there were no soldiers behind them, he hesitated for a moment and immediately called out,"These people are bandits wanted by the government. If we capture them, the government will reward them heavily!”
Hearing that there was a reward, those who had not moved immediately stood up and started fighting with the bandits around them. Those refugees did not have enough to eat or wear warm clothes all day long. Their bodies were very thin. The bandits were all strong and armed. Although there were many refugees, many of them were women and children. In a moment, many of them were injured by the bandits. These refugees were just hot-blooded. Seeing that someone was injured, their actions became even more restrained.
Wei Xiaobao came to Li Manru's side. Li Manru looked at Wei Xiaobao in surprise. She was about to say something when Wei Xiaobao grabbed her and ran out. Wei Xiaobao wanted to take advantage of the chaos to save Li Manru, but how could Li Manru be at ease with the children? She broke free from Wei Xiaobao's hand and said behind him,"Save these children!"
Wei Xiaobao cursed in his heart. He turned around and tried to pull Li Manru away, but the leader instantly noticed the strange situation and shouted for a few people to surround Wei Xiaobao and Li Manru.
Seeing that there were no soldiers around, the leader knew that Wei Xiaobao was bluffing. He looked at his brothers who were surrounded by a large number of refugees and thought that if he didn't solve this problem soon, these people would probably die here.
He looked at Li Manru, who was dragging the orphans along. He thought that if he could capture Li Manru, he would have made a profit this time, so he made up his mind to let the bandits who could still move surround Wei Xiaobao and his wife.
Although Wei Xiaobao had fought with Kang Xi before, it was a game after all. The bandits were all fiendish and armed. Wei Xiaobao couldn't help but feel a little scared. Did I, Wei Xiaobao, die here?
Suddenly, there was a loud explosion in the distance, and both sides were stunned. A moment later, a group of cavalrymen rushed over from afar.
When Brother Ma saw this, he cheered even more." The soldiers are here. Everyone, put in more effort. We must capture these people."”Hearing this, the morale of the refugees was greatly boosted, while the bandits were already scared out of their wits. They wanted to escape, but they were entangled by the refugees and could not escape.
Wei Xiaobao's confidence was boosted. He was not in the mood to think about why the soldiers had come. He ran up to stop the fleeing leader and the two began to fight. When they first started fighting, Wei Xiaobao felt that the leader was stronger than him, which made him feel very uncomfortable. Fortunately, Wei Xiaobao was small and nimble, so he was not at a disadvantage in the fight.
In just a few moments, the bandits were all pinned to the ground, and many of the refugees were either dead or injured. Seeing that Wei Xiaobao still hadn't been dealt with, Brother Ma quickly sent some men to help. The leader had only been relying on his strong body, but he had been beaten up by Wei Xiaobao. Now that Wei Xiaobao had someone to help him, it was even more difficult for him to resist. Moreover, the leader had no intention of staying here and wanted to escape. Now that he saw that his chances of escaping were even slimmer, he panicked even more.
Taking advantage of the leader's confusion, Wei Xiaobao finally kicked him in the groin and caught him. Wei Xiaobao got up and saw that all the bandits had been caught. Only then did he relax.
At this moment, the group of soldiers arrived in front of everyone. The leader of the soldiers was carrying a girl in ragged clothes.
"Xiao Hua?" When Hu Zi saw the girl, he could not help but shout," How did you know that something had happened here? Why did you bring soldiers here?”
Wei Xiaobao turned to look at the soldiers and hid in the crowd, not daring to look up. The leader of the group of soldiers was Banbu Ershan. Wei Xiaobao had seen him in the palace before, and was afraid that he would recognize him, so he hid in the crowd.
Flowery's face was covered in dust, but there were two clear marks under her eyes. It seemed that she had shed a lot of tears. When she heard Hu Zi speak, she could no longer hold back her tears."I was playing in front of the Ban Manor and watching the people coming and going as you said. However, I was caught by them and they insisted on asking me who sent me. If I don't tell them, they will beat me."
Wei Xiaobao thought to himself,'It looks like these children can still gather information from the streets, but it's a mistake to let them keep an eye on these treacherous officials.' He was panicking. If Banbu Ershan followed this line to find him and implicated the emperor, it would be troublesome. Although he had told Li Manru that his name was Wei Xiaobao and that no one in the capital knew him except him, if he was identified on the spot, everything would be over.
Banbu Ershan came before Hu Zi when he heard the voice. He frowned and said,""Seeing that you're also a child, you must have been instructed by someone else. Tell me quickly, who sent you!”
Hu Zi looked at the ferocious Banbu Ershan on the horse and then at Li Manru with some fear. Banbu Ershan followed his gaze and was a little surprised to see Li Manru, this delicate woman. Wei Xiaobao felt his heart race, and he took advantage of the fact that the soldiers weren't paying attention to him to slowly make his way through the crowd to the bushes nearby.
Fortunately, Hu Zi did not keep looking at Li Manru. Instead, he looked around. Banbu Ershan thought that he was looking for the mastermind, so he didn't say much. However, after Hu Zi looked around, he still lowered his head and said nothing.
"Hurry up and tell me!" Banbulshan lashed his whip at Hu Zi impatiently.
Li Manru's heart ached when she saw this. Just as she was about to stand up and speak, she heard Hu Zi cry,"Don't hit me, I'll talk." Hearing this, Wei Xiaobao immediately became alert and prepared to escape at any time.
