Qingyun's Love: Tiger Boy Falls in Love with a Pretty Lawyer

Chapter 139 Act separately

Qingsheng, Ranmo, and Azan returned to the same car. Ranmo was still in shock. Besides the thrilling scene, the fact that the other party had called out a woman's name was truly frightening. If a woman in ancient times fell into the hands of bandits, the consequences were predictable.

Qingsheng saw her fear and held her close to him. Ranmo felt a little more at ease. With Qingsheng by her side, she felt safe and secure.

Azan was also still in shock. He looked at Qingsheng eagerly, hoping to get some comfort. After all, this was the first time he had encountered such a dangerous situation.

Seeing that the two of them were completely absorbed, he no longer hesitated and continued to lean his head on Qingsheng's shoulder as before.

Qingsheng was slightly startled, but then returned to normal, letting the two little guys cuddle up to him for warmth. After all, he was their big brother.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, I heard a whooshing sound outside, followed by a snap, as if something was nailed to the roof frame of the carriage.

The driver let out a startled cry, stopped his horse, and ran to the back door of the carriage, waving his hands as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

Qingsheng jumped out of the carriage and walked to the front, following the driver's instructions. He was shocked to find a feathered arrow nailed to the front door frame. It was hard to say how powerful it was, but to be able to hit the half-foot-wide top frame with one arrow, his archery skills must be extremely high.

I looked forward again. It was already dark, and I didn't see anyone.

The instructor and Master Wu came over from the back car to inquire about the situation. Qingsheng pointed at the arrow on the frame. The instructor took a look, stepped forward, and snatched the arrow off.

This arrow is well-made, with a sharp arrowhead, a hard shaft, and snow-white feathers at the tail with a few black spots in the middle, like ink falling on the snow.

The instructor twisted the feather arrow in his hand and looked at it, as if thinking about something.

At this time, Azan pointed forward and said, "Look!"

Everyone looked up and saw white shadows emerging from the jungle on both sides of the mountain road. A closer look revealed that they were more than a dozen archers in white, aiming their bows and arrows at them.

Everyone was shocked. This group was even more dangerous than the previous ones. In a close combat, they were confident in their martial arts skills and were not afraid at all. However, if they were aimed at by arrows from a distance, it would be more difficult to deal with them.

The three with high martial arts skills might be able to take some defensive and dodging measures to avoid danger, but the two younger ones definitely had nowhere to escape.

The young men were at a loss and all looked at the instructor. The instructor's expression calmed down and he looked at the feather arrow again, as if he had come up with an idea.

He walked forward, bowed toward the forest, and said loudly, "Dear friends, we are passing through here. We hope you will forgive us if we cause any trouble. If you need any help, please feel free to discuss it with us. We will cooperate."

After a while, a man in white slowly lowered the arrow in his hand and responded, "It's good that you understand. No need to waste words. You, put down your sword and come with us."

Upon hearing this, several people were slightly stunned. The person who spoke was unclear, but his voice was quite clear. And his request for the instructor to follow them was also puzzling.

The instructor asked, "I wonder if you've ever met someone here before? Could you tell me a little bit so I can be mentally prepared?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Are you leaving or not? If not, I won't be polite to you," the man said, waving his hand to the side. The archers hidden around raised their bows and arrows again.

Seeing this, the instructor realized there was no point in saying more. Fortunately, as long as he was the only one on the other side, the others could still pass. He had seen all sorts of scenes, and the one before him was nothing special.

He responded to the call and then turned around to explain things to a few people. They were worried that something might happen to him, so they advised him not to go over there rashly.

The instructor smiled calmly and said, "It's okay. Just treat it as meeting an old friend. After I ask them to move aside, you guys hurry up and get on your way. They're waiting to rescue people over there." He also told Master Wu to take good care of his sword.

Qingsheng and Ranmo were worried. They wondered if anything might happen to him. If he left now, it would feel like everyone would be left without a leader.

The instructor was about to go over there when someone shouted, "Bring one more person over here, someone needs to run errands and deliver the message. Otherwise, don't even think about leaving."

Another unexpected change! Everyone's expression was a little grim. Qingsheng stepped forward and said he would go with the master. Wu Shao also urged him to go.

The instructor looked at them, but didn't say anything. Then he looked at Ranmo and Azan. Then he said to Azan, "Azan, please accompany me."

"Me?" Azan was a bit surprised. Then he nodded and agreed without hesitation. The instructor was like a strict father to him during his daily training, and this was the time when his skills came in handy.

The instructor nodded approvingly. Ranmo felt reluctant and worried, but there was nothing else he could do. He could only ask Azan to be extra careful and proceed prudently.

Azan comforted Ranmo, saying that she didn't need to worry, as her husband was by her side and nothing would happen. Tears welled up in Ranmo's eyes, but she didn't want to upset everyone too much.

After making all the arrangements, the instructor led Azan in that direction. When they entered the jungle, the group of people in white disappeared.

Several people rushed forward to check, but they only heard the rustling sound of the wind, and there was no trace of the person.

Wu Shao and Qing Sheng looked at each other, seemingly wondering whether to stay and wait for news, or continue on their way to rescue the people. Ran Mo was also at a loss, and it might not be a good idea for them to act separately.

Finally, everyone reached an agreement to rush to the town to rescue people first, and then try to go back as early as possible, and then stay here and wait or even go up the mountain to investigate, and they must find the instructor and Azan safely.

After making up their minds, they got on the carriage and urged the coachman to ride as fast as possible to Bangzi Town.

By the time they reached the town entrance, it was completely dark. They had originally planned to report to the authorities first, but fearing the government office would be deserted, they prioritized rescuing the victim. Following the route they had previously scouted, they rushed towards the brothel.

Seeing that there was no such place on either side of the dirt road, not even a sign, he was about to ask the driver when Ranmo spotted a dark alley branching off between the rows of houses nearby and suggested that he go there.

A few people got out of the car and looked carefully, and saw a small sign next to the entrance of the alley with three small words "Dark Alley" written on it.

I peeked inside and saw a long, dimly lit alley, but at the end, lights shone and people moved around. This must be the place.

Wu Shao and Qing Sheng gave Ran Mo a thumbs-up, praising her for her good eyesight. Ran Mo blushed slightly. It was strange, she had such a strong intuition about this place.

The three of them walked down the alley. As they neared the exit, they saw a large building looming before them. It looked more like a massive warehouse than a brothel or restaurant. It wasn't particularly elegant either.

Only the occasional coquettish and pretentious calls to attract customers, the lewd sounds, and the furtive figures of customers lifted the veil and betrayed it.

The previous agreement was that Wu Shaoqing would go in to investigate, while Ranmo Azan would stay outside, but now they were worried about leaving her alone. So they all went inside together.

We had to disguise ourselves for now, so as not to alert the people inside and make things worse. It was best to fight quickly, rescue the people and leave, and not to linger.
