Traveling through the starry sky just for you, I was a koi in ancient times

Chapter 278 Encountering Robbers on the Road

Wang Jinyi followed Feng Mei and followed the crowd out of the north gate. Feng Mei made her hands into a horse stool shape, and Wang Jinyi raised her left foot and stepped on Feng Mei's palm. The master and servant worked together, and Wang Jinyi jumped onto the horse's back. Feng Mei herself easily jumped onto the horse.

Wang Jinyi pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and looked back at the remote county town.

The two men rode at full speed along the official road and rushed into the first post station outside the city, Shili Post Station, which was an official post station for receiving officials or mail carriages.

This was also the first time that Wang Jinyi entered the post station compound. In order to make it easier on the road, the two men were still wearing black shorts, looking like two young men on a journey. When the two horses entered the post station compound, no one came out to greet them.

After Wang Jinyi got off the horse, he stretched his stiff legs.

Sister Feng held the reins with one hand and Wang Jinyi's hand with the other, and slowly backed out of the yard of the post station.

Before they walked out of the yard, there was a whistle outside the gate, and four figures hiding in the pit on the official road ran towards them. Feng Mei jumped on the horse, stretched out her hand and pulled Wang Jinyi to sit in front of her, and then she kicked the horse's belly and galloped along the official road, shouting in Wang Jinyi's ear as she ran: "Hold on tight!"

After running less than a hundred meters on the flat rammed earth road, Feng Mei hurriedly pulled the reins, and the horse raised its front hooves to face the wind and neighed. Wang Jinyi was held tightly in Feng Mei's arms. Feng Mei exuded a cold murderous aura, and Wang Jinyi subconsciously reached out to cover the dagger on his waist.

The horse paced anxiously in place. The sun had just set and the official road was surprisingly empty.

Sister Feng whispered in the young lady's ear:

"There is a tripwire ahead. There must be an ambush. We can't enter the post station. There are more than four robbers behind us. Remember not to get off the horse. Let's run back to the county town. Hold on to me and don't make a sound. Once they find out that we are women, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape!"

Feng Mei turned her horse around, grabbed Wang Jinyi's empty horse, and whipped her horse. A group of people came running out from behind her, shouting and chasing. Feng Mei pushed Wang Jinyi's body down and shouted:

"Hold on to the horse's neck, hold on!"

Feng Mei turned her horse around and headed back towards the post station. The four masked men who had just been chasing her lined up in a row, blocking the road. They held long swords in their hands with pride, looking at the two people who had fallen into their trap again.

Wang Jinyi pulled out a dagger from his waist, hugged the horse's neck with one hand and held the dagger with the other.

Feng Mei controlled the horse with her legs. She freed her hands, reached her right hand into her arms, and threw out two flying knives. In the dark night, there was only a barely noticeable cold light that flew out in the blink of an eye. The two people standing in the middle of the road fell to the ground one after another, and the two horses flew past.

After running less than a hundred meters, Feng Mei tightened the reins again, and the horse stopped again. Wang Jinyi straightened his back and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"Someone's here! Miss, don't move. I'll go check it out."

"Be careful."

"If we don't get rid of him, we won't be able to pass this official road today!"

Feng Mei dismounted from her horse, drew out the nine-section whip from her waist, and stepped forward. Wang Jinyi stared at Feng Mei nervously, drew out the dagger in his hand, and was ready at all times.

A sturdy man holding a big knife stood up on the earth slope under the official road. From a distance, the man was one and a half times taller than Feng Mei, and twice as strong as Feng Mei!

Wang Jinyi's sigh was not over yet, and there was a chaotic sound of footsteps behind him. He looked back and saw two bandits who were blocking the road. Wang Jinyi hit the horse's belly hard, pulled the reins and ran towards the county town. When passing by Fengmei, Wang Jinyi tried to pull her onto the horse, but Fengmei gave way and whipped the horse again.

The sturdy man raised his knife to chop, but Fengmei's nine-section whip seemed to have eyes and flew out to entangle the blade. Fengmei used the force to jump up and kick the sturdy man. Wang Jinyi quickly passed the two people, and the robbers behind him shouted: "Come on..."

Before he finished shouting the word "come", he heard a muffled groan, followed by the sound of a person falling down with a "thump". Wang Jinyi stopped his horse worriedly and turned back to see what was happening at Feng Mei's place.

At this moment, a dark shadow quietly approached the empty horse pulled by Wang Jinyi from the bottom of the slope. The horse turned its body and circled in place.

Wang Jinyi noticed something unusual vigilantly.

Looking around, she saw a woman holding a dagger approaching the two horses. Although she tried her best to lower her body, the horses' alertness gave Wang Jinyi guidance.

Wang Jinyi gritted his teeth, without making a sound, he pulled the reins and stepped straight towards the person who was coming. The person rolled on the ground and quickly avoided him.

Wang Jinyi was certain in his heart that this was the robber’s accomplice!

She was so angry that she kept chasing her and adjusting the horse's head. The female robber was cursing and couldn't get close to the horse. She grabbed something from her waist and threw it at Wang Jinyi. Wang Jinyi lowered her head to avoid it, and she grabbed Wang Jinyi's leg in a short time.

In a flash, Wang Jinyi swung the dagger. The man saw that something was wrong and quickly let go. Only then did he realize that he hadn't even unsheathed the dagger. He used both hands to pull out the dagger. The knife flashed in front of his eyes, and Wang Jinyi subconsciously threw out the outer sheath. The man quickly blocked it, and with a clang, the knife flashed again.

Wang Jinyi knew that she couldn't be timid now, there was no way to retreat, so she picked up the blanket she was sitting on and threw it towards the reflective light. The man stepped back and was covered by the blanket perfectly.

The female bandit twisted her body and tried to crawl out. Wang Jinyi did not hesitate, jumped off his horse and rushed towards her, stabbing her exposed legs fiercely. A howl sounded on the official road...

The female bandit screamed and climbed up, and found that there was a child in front of her. She limped towards Wang Jinyi. Wang Jinyi slowly backed away and came up with a plan. She reached out from her waist and grabbed a handful of white powder, waiting for the female bandit to sprinkle it on her. The female bandit covered her mouth and nose and backed away.

Wang Jinyi pulled the blanket off the other horse and threw it towards her. The female bandit had just suffered the loss of being covered by the blanket and quickly retreated. Wang Jinyi chased after the saddle pad and flew over to knock the person down...

In the dark night, Wang Jinyi only heard the female bandit struggling and screaming, and didn't see anything. A hand behind her grabbed Wang Jinyi's shoulder, and Wang Jinyi was so scared that she waved a dagger, but Feng Mei easily defused it, dodged the dagger, and pulled the person up.

"Miss, it's me, Feng Mei! Don't be afraid, look, it's me!"

Feng Mei held the young lady's shoulders with both hands and shook her, and saw that Wang Jinyi clenched her teeth and stared at the scene in front of her without saying a word.

Fengmei quickly carried the person onto the horse and pulled back another horse. Wang Jinyi said in a hoarse voice: "Fengmei, pick up the saddle pad on the horse's back. There is no pad on either horse. It is over there with the woman." Then she pointed in the direction.

Feng Mei tightened her belt and was about to mount the horse. Wang Jinyi jumped off the horse and, under the cold moonlight, grabbed the blanket on the horse's back, dragged it and shouted, "Help!"

Feng Mei reacted quickly, took the thick blanket from the young lady and covered the horse's back. Wang Jinyi went to find another one, and Feng Mei whispered, "I'll do it."

After tidying up the two horses, he turned around and found that the young lady was squatting and groping on the official road in the dark.

Feng Mei was anxious, and she walked over quickly to hold the young lady: "We have to leave quickly, we can't let them catch up..."

"I can't find the sheath of my dagger!"
