"The girl is right, this group of people may be the Jiang family's anti-thieves, and the leader just now should be Jiang Yuandong, the son of Jiang Sheng, the leader of the anti-thieves."

These cognitions are basic common sense in the dark guard, and there is cultivation inside, Ming Jin only guessed that the other party was the remnant of the Jiang family, but he didn't recognize the tall man.

"Jiang Yuandong? I have heard that this person has a good pair of arms, and his bow and arrow skills are not trivial. ”

"No wonder they have so many men and horses, and they attack the rules so fiercely, they are actually thieves in the army."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Li family were resting in the attic, and suddenly heard the fighting movement on the opposite peak, and looked at the people coming to the suspension bridge, and wanted to retreat to protect themselves in panic, but found that the person who was being chased and killed was Xie Mingjin, and saw that Mingjin was going to break the suspension bridge, so he immediately sent someone to support.

Of course, such an order to risk death naturally gave up a lot of money to make these family guards brave and fearless, willing to risk death.

It's just that the Li family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't say anything to Ming.

"I remember that there were no people living here before, how did it become a place for pilgrims to live, if I had known, I would not have led people here, I am very sorry."

Seeing that Xu Qiubai's injuries were properly handled, Ming Jin apologized to the Li family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

"Where, Miss Xie is our Li family's benefactor, and she caught the real murderer for my son, don't say that it is just to help, even if you let the old man die for you."

It is said that businessmen are adulterous, but when it comes to the death of the only son, it can be the death of this rich family, and the grief is overflowing, and Ming Jin finds out the real culprit for them, which is actually a kind of comfort, and it is a result for the Li family, not to mention that Ming Jin's background is there, but all merchants treat the family with sincerity, for fear of making mistakes and causing the disaster of annihilation, so the old lady is sincere.

However, she generally treats others with dignity and does not look at how others treat her, she focuses more on her own judgment.

What the Li family's conduct and style are, she knows in her heart.

"You're polite, but it's just a matter of course, if you don't save me today, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to escape."

It's easy to put the icing on the cake, but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow, even if she is kind to the Li family, but the other party can resist the fear and not retreat, but instead send someone to rescue, which is enough for Ming to admit his feelings.

Both parties are sincere and polite people, the situation is critical, there are palpitations, but not much politeness, after a few words of conversation, Ming Jin only knew that this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had come to the mountains to live and hide quietly, mainly because the old lady was afraid that Zhang Qingrui would be sad about her husband's death and affect the fetus, so she brought a bunch of people to the mountains to ensure safety.

It's also a coincidence, if it was normal times, they wouldn't have dispatched so many family guards.

"I'm afraid Miss Xie hasn't been here for many years, and the place where the pilgrims live on this side of the peak was rebuilt seven or eight years ago."

The old lady knew that she had not returned for many years, and she relied on her youthful memories to find her way and escape, and there were always mistakes, so she replied.

"It's been a long time since I've been back, but fortunately, the suspension bridge is still there.... Now, though, it's gone. ”

Ming Jin smiled bitterly, pondered for a moment, and suddenly looked at the door and window.

"The voice is gone, could it be that the people outside are gone?" Zhang Qingrui stroked her pregnant belly, and her fair face was slightly suspicious.

"They won't go easily, they may be waiting for us to go out and flee, they will come with a wave of arrows, and if it drags on longer, they will not want to waste time, and they will come around the road below."

When they heard that the gang of powerful gangsters would come over, everyone was a little worried.

A few hours is not very long, and if they hide here for a long time, it will be tantamount to being blocked.

"Girl...."The guard who endured the pain and had the arrow taken out couldn't help but speak.

"What's the hurry?" Ming glanced at him, knew what he was going to say, and unhurriedly took out a small whistle.

"Just drag them for a little while, and then call for reinforcements to block them too."

As soon as Ming said this, the Li family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law glanced at each other.

Since escaping to this house, they have felt that this Miss Xie has not been worried at all.

Sure enough, there is a backhand.

"But our people..."The guards knew that there were not many guards on their side, and most of them were taken away by Bi Shiyi.

Ming Jin didn't answer him, just got up and went to the second floor, blowing the whistle.

The whistle is specially made, and the whistle is loud and drifts far away.

"Boss! This is the Xie clan's summons whistle, and someone inside has summoned him...."

Jiang Yuandong on the other side of the bridge heard the whistle, and his eyes were locked on the looming figure in the open window behind the balcony, and his brows were tightened, "The secret guards and guards she brought should be just these few, even if you add the guards carried by the Xie family below, they are just a rabble." ”

"The leader is right, they can't hide from the left and right, and this bridge can't be crossed, or we will go down now, go around and take down that Xie Mingjin!"

Such a move has already exposed their traces, and if they can't take Xie Mingjin, the gains outweigh the losses.

"Let's go!" Jiang Yuandong also saw the other party's secrets, and refused to risk coming out, staying here was a waste of time.

The gang chased people very quickly and retreated quickly.

"They're gone."

The people in the house breathed a sigh of relief when they learned about it, and Zhang Qingrui looked at the look of Ming Jin who came down from the second floor.

Before she could ask, she saw Ming Jin coming over first, "They can't come." ”

Why can't you come, before she could say anything, she heard Xu Qiubai, who had been taken out of the arrow, ask in a weak voice: "Did Miss Xie arrange a garrison at the foot of the mountain?" I seem to have seen Tosho-sama today. ”

Ming Jin's eyes flashed, and seeing Xu Qiubai's subtle expression, she couldn't help but say: "There are people who specialize in protecting me, but I am not the only one Xie family here, my wife and daughter are here, and it is not too much for my third uncle to arrange people and horses in the land of Luanxi Stream, not to mention that Luanxi Stream has always been in charge of the Xie family, and there are many people who come and go. ”

She downplays her role in it and rationalizes it.

Xu Qiubai knew that she didn't say it to herself, but out of the caution in her character, she always sought preservation in everything and left no handle.

"Well, Miss Xie has a point."

“....”

Ming Jin always felt that the other party's eyes and tone were three points to see through and seven points to support.

She couldn't help but be slightly embarrassed, glanced at him, but didn't say anything to him, only said to Zhang Qingrui and Mrs. Li: "Bother the two of you to wait a little longer, and then leave here after the gangsters are cleared." ”

She figured they didn't want to stay in the mountains anymore.

Indeed, the old lady didn't want to risk her daughter-in-law and unborn grandchildren at all, and she also knew that before leaving Luanxi, it was best to follow the Xie family closely, otherwise she didn't know who else would come out.

"I don't know what happened to those gangsters."

————————

Jiang Yuandong took people down, but before he reached the halfway point of the mountain, he noticed that something was wrong, because the surroundings were too quiet, and he didn't meet half a figure.

Either it's a coincidence, and there is only one reasonable explanation - everyone here knows that there are villains who have infiltrated and attacked and killed, and they have been gathered and protected.

But they avoided the others at first, and only lurked on the side of the Mass Hall before they moved, although the movement was not small, but there was no one nearby.

Unless....

"Then Xie Ming would like to send someone to notify the reinforcements, quickly, go to the main hall and take down the Xie family!"

Jiang Yuandong suspected that Xie Mingjin had another way forward, and he also knew that going down in a hurry now was tantamount to throwing himself into the net, so it was better to take some hostages to protect himself and retreat.

But as soon as they tried to change course, they saw a shadow in the forest, and then the arrows flew out.

Again, this is a military bow!

————————

"There's a fight down there."

After confirming the safety, Ming Jin and the others went up to the second floor to look at the halfway up the mountain, and vaguely saw the movement of the black shadow halfway up the mountain, and knew that the reinforcements had arrived.

"It should be the city defense army of the Eastern War."

"The next thing is to wait." Ming Jin stopped looking, went downstairs to see the injuries of Xu Qiubai and the guards, and also talked about it.

She specially came to talk about this matter, and after saying that, the guards could sleep with peace of mind, and they didn't have to hold on.

"That's good."

Xu Qiubai said so, Ming Jin was bending down to look down at the injury on his shoulder, hearing this, his eyes moved away from the position of the ruddy blood under the gauze on his shoulder, and fell on the pale face of the scholar in front of him, just swept it away, and said a little helplessly: "Sage student, ask for merit in the imperial examination, Mr. Xu is injured, you have to recuperate from the injury and delay time, not to mention, you are still injured in your right shoulder, and it will be difficult to write in the future, is this still good?" It is important to know that the exam is only two months. ”

She complained like this, both dignified and angry, with a little guilt and helplessness.

The nose was originally smelling of blood, but at this time, there was always a lingering cold orchid fragrance, Xu Qiubai lowered his eyes, and he was rightly arrogant.

"Sage students, ask about kindness first, and then talk about fame."

Mingjin: "It's flat." ”

"Huh?"

Xu Qiubai couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at her, but this distance was too close, and it was rude, so he lowered his head again.

"Spend some money to hire a storyteller, and you and I don't owe anyone anything in the transaction, but Mr. Xu values affection and righteousness, and he has to repay the favor, that's a gentleman's business, and I can't say anything."

"Does that girl still care about me?"

Whatever?

Ming Jin was stunned for a moment, and a slightly uncomfortable thought surfaced in his heart: Who cares about you!
