Chapter 157: Hostage

Liu Ruyan frowned and asked while picking up vegetables for the bandits: "What's going on in the house, why does it sound like a woman is crying?" ”

"It's just two girls." The strong man held the bowl, drank it to the sky, and then shouted loudly, "Lao Zhang, let's eat!" ”

The bandit next to him tore off a piece of beef and ate it with a mouthful of oil, "That guy has a woman to play with, how do you know how hungry." ”

At this time, the door of the granary was pushed open from the inside, and a man with a long beard leaned out from behind the door, "Lao Tzu's pants are off, you let me eat!" ”

As soon as the bearded words fell, I saw the brothers outside the house fall one after another, and the wine was spilled all over the ground.

He was stunned for a moment, realized that something was wrong, and was about to open his mouth to call someone, but was shot in the throat by a flying knife and fell to the ground and died on the spot.

Through the open door, blood flowed into the house.

The little maid was almost suffering, and was staring at the door with a look of trepidation.

Against the light, the figure of the Taoist was reflected in the line of sight.

When the figure gradually approached, she saw that it was a "young man" who was not good-looking.

Liu Ruyan walked into the granary, and naturally saw the maid and the vigilant woman sitting in the corner.

The woman stroked her slightly bulging lower abdomen, and the corners of her eyes were wet, "If you dare to touch us, my husband will not spare us." ”

Liu Ruyan pursed her lips and walked towards the woman.

With a sharp stroke, she cut off all the ropes behind the woman: "Find a place to hide first, and when it is safe, ask the lady to leave this place quickly." ”

After saying that, she rescued the maid again.

Mrs. Yu was shocked: "You are from the yamen...... Or did my husband send you? ”

"Neither." Liu Ruyan took back the dagger and asked her rhetorically, "I see that my lady behaves extraordinarily, it must be from a rich and noble family, and I don't know why, she will be imprisoned here by bandits?" ”

Mrs. Yu lowered her eyes and said slowly: "The slave husband is just a grain merchant, often running around, and now the slave family is pregnant, I wanted to go back to my mother's house to give birth, but unexpectedly, I met this gang of bandits halfway." The accompanying servants all let them feed the vicious dogs, and only the slave and the maid were left......"

Liu Ruyan nodded, looked around the granary, and found that the grains and gold and silver piled up in the house were quite abundant.

It seems that the bandits not only killed people and plundered goods, but also did not do much to extort money.

"Actually, the slave family heard that there was a person locked up in the wine cellar, I don't know if the young man can rescue him too?" Mrs. Yu said with a worried face.

Liu Ruyan came to the rescue, originally for the sake of Mrs. Yu's pregnancy, but at this moment, she didn't want to delay her efforts, and it was the top priority to get rid of the thief's nest.

"Please go to the cellar to save someone!" Ye Xun suddenly spoke.

Liu Ruyan paused, but saw Ye Xun's face serious. She immediately did not dare to be careless, and walked towards the cellar.

It is said to be a wine cellar, but it is actually a cave dug in the ground, surrounded by wine jars.

And there is a person crawling in the cellar, and the appearance of his cloak is so that people can't see his face clearly.

At the sound of footsteps, the man's lips were furled, and his voice was hoarse.

"Waterβ€”I want to drink waterβ€”"

Liu Ruyan's belongings were stored in the system space, she squatted down, took out the water bladder, and handed it over.

As soon as the man touched the water bladder, he immediately hugged it, uncorked the bottle, drank wildly, and finally wiped his mouth and asked, "Where's the food?" ”

It seems that the other party mistook himself for the guy who delivered the meal, and Liu Ruyan didn't bother to explain, so he directly took out two pieces of Hu Biscuits.

The man seemed to have been imprisoned for too long, and he did not pick his mouth, munching on the dry bread with a big mouth.

Liu Ruyan looked at the man, his hair and beard were messy, and she couldn't guess why Yexun asked her to save such a person for a while.

Taking advantage of the other party's efforts to eat bread, she cut the rope of his ankle with a dagger, and suddenly, the man couldn't say anything in surprise, and looked at Liu Ruyan with a blank eye.

"There will be a riot in the village later, and the uncle will take care of himself." She said.

After rescuing people, Liu Ruyan immediately ran towards the canteen.

At the end of the cafeteria, Liu Xin had already put the food on the table and was beckoning the people in the village to sit down.

Liu Ruyan glanced around and found that several people guarding the watchtower were also here, which was exactly what she wanted.

She took out the highly toxic liquor from the kitchen and filled it for everyone.

The leader of the bandit village stood up, he picked up the wine cup, and said to everyone present: "Brothers who have worked hard these days, when the profiteer surnamed Yu pays the ransom, let's go to the kiln and have fun." ”

Liu Ruyan remained silent, she stood behind the leader, and saw him bring the cup to her lips.

But at this moment, Kunlun Nu stumbled into the lobby and shouted lifelessly: "There are soldiers who have killed the stockade, it is the Song army!" ”

Song Jun?

Liu Ruyan twisted her eyebrows, she instructed Dong Qingxian to stop Sun Qing from acting rashly.

The bandit leader's face changed, and he suddenly remembered something important, and ordered, "You guys go to the granary and have a look." ”

"People...... The man is gone......" said his men, gasping as they returned from the granary.

"What!" The leader's eyes were fierce, and he grabbed him by the collar, "You make it clear to Lao Tzu, who is gone?" ”

"The little one just went to the granary to check and found that the gatekeeper brother was poisoned, and the lady of the Yu family ran away!"

When the bandit leader heard this, his face was full of anger, he scolded, rolled up his sleeves and shouted: "Agui, you take people to search separately, and you have to find her after digging three feet into the ground!" The other brothers went with Lao Tzu to kill the Song soldiers, so that these dog mongrels would not return! ”

"Boss, I seem to have seen the little maid next to Mrs. Yu!" Someone suddenly shouted, "Right there!" ”

Liu Ruyan looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, she saw the little maid poking her head out recklessly, and after finding that the situation was not right, the little maid ran back in a panic.

Soon, the maid was captured.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me......" she begged for mercy with a trembling voice.

The leader squinted at her, the tip of the knife running down the girl's smooth neck, "Where is your wife?" ”

"The slave and the maid were separated from the lady, and the slave and the maid knew nothing, and did not know where she had gone."

"Useless stuff!" The leader scolded angrily, and the little maid turned white for a while.

"Boss, it's better to ask who rescued her, maybe there are some spies in our village."

"Yes, yes, this girl absolutely knows."

When the leader heard this, his face suddenly softened slightly, and a smile appeared on his lips: "Little girl, if you can tell who saved you, Lao Tzu will spare your life." ”

The little maid finally raised her head.

She hesitated for a moment, and her eyes fell on Liu Ruyan.

From beginning to end, Liu Ruyan has been lowering her eyebrows, but the clothes she wears are extremely eye-catching in the crowd.

The maid approached Liu Ruyan and looked at her seriously, from the initial hesitation to the final certainty.

"It's him! It was the granary he broke into and rescued Mrs. Yu! ”

The leader's eyes were gloomy, "The guy has a problem, give me a knife to kill." ”

Liu Ruyan scolded secretly, and she immediately sacrificed the Cold Moon Knife and killed the bandit near her neatly.

Seeing that the situation had taken a turn for the worse, Liu Xin had an idea, and said to the bandit next to him: "This spy's martial arts are so good, why don't I guard the rear for my buddies?" ”

"Oh, good!" The man replied quickly.

Liu Xin stood behind him, made a sneak attack, and successfully succeeded.

Liu Xin stood behind the crowd and took advantage of the chaos to kill a few thieves, but this trick worked at first, but when he was discovered, the bandits raised their long knives and slashed at Liu Xin.

Liu Xin was shocked and frightened, he fled to Liu Ruyan's side, and seeing that there were strong men gathered around, his face was full of frustration: "It seems that we can't escape." ”
