"Money or death?!"

Seven or eight fierce-looking women, holding weapons of greater or shorter proportions, spewed at them in a vicious tone.

Most of them were thin and short, with shabby clothes, and occasionally a few wore extravagant ornaments that did not match the clothes, obviously stolen goods, with pearl hairpins and white jade waists, but such delicate and elegant items did not improve their grades, but looked nondescript and even more ridiculous.

Ming Xi encountered such a scene for the first time, and was immediately a little frightened, he nervously grabbed Shen Ruyu's shoulder standing in front of him, and whispered to her in a little panic: "Sister ......"

He has lived in the Shen family's mansion since he was a child, and all he has seen are respectful and polite people, even if he becomes Mingxi, the most tricky person he has met is just a prodigal woman who cheats on eating and drinking in Changchun Guan, how have he ever seen such a violent and malicious scene?

Shen Ruyu hadn't seen it either, and then when she realized that Ming Xi was more scared than her, she was able to look back at him very calmly and reliably, smiled at him comfortingly, and then turned her head and looked at the woman who was the leader of the group of mountain bandits.

It was a middle-aged woman in her forties, a little fat, bloated and bulky, but she looked very intimidating. Her skin is rough and dark, and she is often exposed to wind and rain at first glance.

Compared with the somewhat shabby clothes of the other bandits, she wore gold and silver, and the silk and satin on her body seemed to be because she couldn't wear it, so she put several pieces of clothing together, and then wrapped them around her body randomly, the collision and patchwork of colors and patterns made it unbearable to look at directly.

What was even more noticeable was the black whip in her thick hand, the long whip was held in her hand, like a poisonous snake clinging coldly to her hand, looking at them viciously.

Looks like it's hard to deal with......

"Of course it's fatal." Shen Ruyu tried to make her tone appear very calm, and she negotiated, "How much do you want?" ”

"Sister!" Mingxi suddenly called out in a low voice.

He seemed to find this kind of subduy very cowardly, and a little disappointed and incredulous.

…… Shen Ruyu knew that children at this age liked to fantasize about unrealistic scenes the most, for example, Mingxi probably felt that at this time, she should pull out her long sword and then beat these people down, which was normal development.

But as the saying goes, problems that can be solved with money are not problems.

If the other party just wants money, then why fight hard? Wouldn't it be better to keep yourself safe and then report to the police?

However, judging by the appearance of this group of bandits, it seems that they have been entrenched in this official road for a long time - but if the local government does not care about it this time, her duties as an envoy will not be good-looking.

…… But the most important premise is that they can get out of here alive and then reach Julu County.

But Shen Ruyu has no confidence about whether the money she carries can satisfy them.

-- Almost all of the entanglements that went out this time were kept by Wang Zijun, and in Hengshan County, they each took only a part of it as pocket money.

And after the big purchase in Hengshan County, Shen Ruyu's money bag was ...... There are probably a dozen copper plates left.

The smell of the fat sheep revealed by the dozen copper plates and the delicate clothes they wore was obviously extremely incompatible, and their money bags were worth more than the money inside—perhaps the other party would be so angry that he would come up and stab them to death and throw them into the wilderness.

However, Shen Ruyu was more willing to pray in an optimistic direction - they shouldn't be so cruel......

She's never been robbed before.

And in the previous life, in Shen Ruyu's impression, it was generally men who did this kind of crime, and the harm that men could cause to women was far more than robbery, so it was extremely terrifying. Sometimes she watched the news reports that the sins of the men were appalling, frustrating and incomprehensible.

So she subconsciously felt ...... The woman seems to be ...... Yes, all ...... Milder, right?

Why should a woman be embarrassed by a woman?

Compared with a large group of mountain bandits with a big man, a group of strong women, although it also made Shen Ruyu a little nervous, but she was not so scared - maybe subconsciously, she felt that women would not be particularly violent and cruel, right?

If you can communicate well, maybe ......

"Keep all the money-" After hearing Shen Ruyu's words, I saw a thin woman among the mountain bandits grinning.

She stared at Ming Xi with burning eyes, as if she was going to eat him alive, "Also, that little Langjun behind you!" And this horse! We're all going to do it! ”

Ming Xi suddenly tightened the reins in his hand nervously, and did not fall off the horse with weak legs on the spot, he was already very worthy of his noble status as the second lady of the Shen family. However, the horse seemed to sense the panic in his knight's heart, and let out a somewhat uneasy breath and took a few steps back.

Shen Ruyu suddenly let out a long sigh with a heavy heart, and pulled out the long sword at his waist.

All right. Not perhaps.

At this time, she was extremely grateful to Bai Sa for the gift, and she was also extremely glad that she did not leave the sword in the sedan chair.

Shen Ruyu actually ...... I've never been in a fight.

Whether it's in the previous life, or in this life.

Although she is good at swordsmanship and mounted archery, mounted archery is only used when hunting, and swordsmanship is limited to point-to-point comparisons when she is practicing with a martial artist at home.

A real person duel or something......

In fact, Shen Ruyu's hands and legs are shaking, do you think she will say this kind of thing!?

But the more she felt a little weak, the more calm she appeared on the surface.

Shen Ruyu estimated the numerical advantage of both the enemy and us, and felt that except for the leader, who seemed to have more lethality, making her more bottomless, the other few bandits who were either thin or short, even if she didn't use a sword, she could only fight two by relying on her height.

This made her relax slightly.

Shen Ruyu raised her face to Ming Xi, who was sitting on the horse and was shocked, and said in a calm tone, "Wait a while, if I drag them back, you will run away immediately, don't look back, you know?" ”

She had no intention of lowering her voice at all, so everyone heard her voice, and the bandits in a circle were stunned for a moment.

Mingxi's eyes widened in surprise, "...... But, Sister! ”

But Shen Ruyu didn't have time to answer him.

In order to prevent this group of bandits from fearing that Mingxi, a fish that slipped through the net, might find a helper, and then come back to put them in danger and kill them all, Shen Ruyu showed a somewhat sad look, looked at Mingxi and said, "A-Niang is doing business everywhere and doesn't come back, and A-dad died early, and now my stepfather has kicked us out so that the third brother can inherit the family property...... But in the future, Sister Ah may not be able to accompany you, Ah Xi, you remember to take care of yourself alone. ”

Mingxi looked at her stunned, "Sister......"

And it turns out that as long as you are ruthless, most of the criminals are just paper tigers.

The few thin and short bandits with long knives looked like they were rushing towards Shen Ruyu with great momentum, but before they could cut it down, one of them was kicked to the ground by Shen Ruyu, and then turned around with a fierce elbow blow, and the other bandit who pounced on him from the side immediately fell to the ground, and she didn't even use swordsmanship in the process - it wasn't until the end that Shen Ruyu stabbed out with a sword, but when she was aiming at the heart of the third bandit, she hesitated slightly, and then picked the blade of the sword, only picking up her long hair.

With the victory of the first battle of one enemy and three enemies, Shen Ruyu seems to finally have a little self-confidence.

…… However, it is also possible that this group of bandits is too strong because of their military value, as well as her clothes with wide sleeves and long skirts, which are very advantageous, and she can often paste people's sleeves when she raises her hand, just like a hidden weapon.

But in any case, the circle of bandits surrounding them finally exposed a brief vacancy in the rear, Shen Ruyu turned around and pulled the reins of the white horse, pulled towards the gap, and urged urgently: "Go!" ”

"Sister!" Mingxi's voice finally brought some crying, and hearing that his feelings were a little unstable, Shen Ruyu raised her head and smiled at him, "What are you crying about, I have to protect you." ”

The white horse seemed to understand Shen Ruyu's mood, and without waiting for her to do anything more, he immediately spread his long legs and galloped towards the distance.

Shen Ruyu put down the long sword that was halfway up and was about to stab the back buttocks of the white horse, and watched Mingxi ride on the horse and gradually run away, and after no one should chase him against him, she finally relaxed a little, she was about to turn around and fight again, and then look for an opportunity to escape, but suddenly heard the sound of breaking the air behind her, and then her wrist suddenly tightened, and a huge force pulled her backwards, Shen Ruyu suddenly lost her center of gravity and fell to the ground.

Only then did she see that it was the black long whip of the bandit leader wrapped around her wrist, at this moment the blow was completed, and the long whip was taken back like a living thing, Shen Ruyu was about to take the opportunity to get up, when she heard a crisp whip again, she didn't even see the whip shadow, she suddenly felt a burst of heat in her hand, and then felt the pain in hindsight, her hand holding the long sword suddenly couldn't help but loosen, and the fine iron long sword fell to the ground with a bang.

- Never let go of your weapon.

Shen Ruyu was annoyed that she had forgotten the first rule that she had absolutely to abide by when fighting, and she was about to get up immediately, but the few bandits who were beaten down just now were willing to give her this opportunity, and immediately rushed up and tied her up tightly.

The bandit leader slowly wrapped the long whip back around her wrist, and then walked over slowly with extraordinary momentum, she pinched Shen Ruyu's chin, looked at it carefully for a while, and then suddenly laughed with a meaty face.

"Good! Good! She commented, as if she was picking goods at the market, "Good looking, and responsible!" It seems that he is a scholar, and his skills are not bad, but he is not flexible enough and his strength is insufficient, and his actual combat experience is not enough...... It's just that it doesn't matter! ”

Shen Ruyu looked at her vigilantly.

"Yes, yes," said the bandit leader with more and more satisfaction, "and he is quite soft-hearted! She smiled and glanced at the female bandit who was almost stabbed through the heart by Shen Ruyu with a sword just now, "Okay, it's her!" Sisters, bring this girl back! ”

The bandits suddenly said, "Oh!! He laughed.

"The little brother's daughter-in-law has fallen!"

Wait a minute......

Shen Ruyu seems to feel that this routine is somewhat familiar-this kind of plot of a scholar who is kidnapped by female bandits-
