Seeing that the Liangshan army had indeed appeared before them,
Chen Liqing struggled and shielded Liu Huiniang behind her.
Just now, although her cousin said that she knew the leader of Liangshan,
But in Chen Liqing's heart, she felt the same way as Zhou Tong and Wang Ying.
Everyone thought Liu Huiniang was just bluffing to scare the two men away.
After all, she had met Liu Huiniang's brother Zhao before (Liao Liao Zhao).
In Chen Liqing's heart,
I really don't want to associate that person with bandits.
A group of Liangshan soldiers rushed into the courtyard.
Some entered the backyard to continue the search.
The remaining soldiers all stopped and surrounded Chen Liqing and Liu Huiniang.
Chen Liqing reached out and grabbed the spear on the ground.
He was about to stand up, struggling to fight these bandits to the death,
Unexpectedly, the group of thieves suddenly dismounted.
They immediately knelt down in unison.
"Greetings, Leader Liu!"
Leader Liu?
Chen Liqing was instantly stunned.
Who are these bandits worshipping?
It seems there's only one person here with the surname Liu?
Chapter 334 The Furious Female Guard
No, it's impossible.
How could such a well-behaved girl like Ah Xiu be associated with bandits!
Just as Chen Liqing thought of this,
Liu Huiniang, who was being blocked behind her, had already spoken up and asked,
Who are the leaders of this group?
"The chieftain, Chief Jiao, Teacher Xu, Chief Bian, and Chief Lü have all arrived."
The soldier had just finished answering when
Liu Huiniang said with delight,
"Brother... the chieftain is here too? Oh, right, two thieves just kidnapped Old Master Liu's daughter and escaped through the back gate of the manor. You should hurry and chase after them!"
"Also, that man dressed as a groom is one of our own, so don't hurt him!"
After giving instructions to the cavalry soldiers,
After they mounted their horses and went to pursue Zhou Tong and Wang Ying,
She then noticed her cousin Chen Liqing's strange gaze.
"Sister, I..."
Liu Huiniang was just about to explain,
Chen Liqing, however, preemptively asked the question.
"Your Brother Zhao 227, is he... really the leader of Liangshan?"
"......Um,"
Liu Huiniang hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded slightly.
"Sister Liqing, although Liangshan is also a bandit group, it is different from ordinary bandits..."
Before she could finish speaking,
Chen Liqing swayed slightly, and looked as if she was about to fall to the ground.
Liu Huiniang quickly stepped forward to help her up.
But Chen Liqing pushed him away.
"Sister Liqing,"
Liu Huiniang lowered her head, feeling somewhat aggrieved.
She also knew that Chen Xizhen and her father, Liu Guang, were not only relatives but also close friends.
Their personalities were also exceptionally compatible.
Liu Guang was blindly loyal to the Song court and viewed all the bandits in the land as thorns in his side.
Chen Xizhen was a close friend of Liu Guang, and in this respect, he was naturally the same. (bica)
Chen Liqing was taught by Chen Xizhen from a young age.
He always wished nothing more than to kill all the bandits and outlaws in the land.
Now she has learned that her cousin has also become a member of the bandits.
Chen Liqing was naturally somewhat unable to accept it at first.
Liu Huiniang, however, was unaware that
Her guesses were mostly correct.
But in the female guard's heart, there was another reason why she couldn't accept it, which had nothing to do with her.
I never expected that person to actually be a bandit...
Chen Liqing gritted her teeth inwardly.
Her father had reminded him several times before.
Zhao Yuan's skills were extraordinary; he was clearly not just an ordinary wealthy man.
However, Chen Liqing felt that Zhao Yuan acted with great magnanimity, and she had seen him fight against the Jin people on the arena in front of Fanlou.
In the eyes of the female guard, Zhao Yuan was already a hero.
But I never thought that,
He was actually a bandit!
Just as Chen Liqing remained silent,
Upon receiving the message from the soldiers,
Upon learning that Liu Huiniang and Chen Liqing were also in the village, Zhao Yuan...
They had already stepped into the Liu family manor.
"Brother..."
When Liu Huiniang met Zhao Yuan,
He quickly ran over.
Upon getting closer, recalling the harrowing experience just moments before,
The girl could no longer hold back and, with tears welling in her eyes, threw herself into Zhao Yuan's arms.
"Brother, if you hadn't come, I might have..."
"Why, what happened?"
Zhao Yuan asked in surprise, "Just now Lü Fang told me that you sent a squad of soldiers to chase after someone?"
"Um,"
Liu Huiniang nodded and briefly recounted the events of the past two days to Zhao Yuan.
"Brother, if it weren't for Brother Wu's desperate efforts to hold off the bandits, my cousin and I might have been kidnapped!"
"But Sister Xianglan has been kidnapped by thieves. Although Brother Wu has given chase, he just drank some medicinal wine and is now weak. Even if he catches up with the thieves, I'm afraid his chances of survival are slim..."
"Don't worry, they'll be fine."
Zhao Yuan never expected that, besides Liu Huiniang and her group, he would also encounter the Wu brothers in this small village.
After listening to Liu Huiniang recount the harrowing experience,
Zhao Yuan couldn't help but feel a little fortunate.
Fortunately, Liu Huiniang and her companions encountered Wu Erlang; otherwise, if the two sisters had met with misfortune,
Even if he were torn Zhou Tong and Wang Ying to pieces, what good would it do?
Thinking that Wu Song's strength had not yet recovered, he went to pursue Zhou Tong and his companion.
Zhao Yuan hurriedly summoned Lü Fang, Bian Xiang, and Xu Ning.
They were each given a troop of cavalry to help Wu Erlang.
The remaining cavalry soldiers cleared out the fleeing bandits and henchmen.
The others then carried all the people who had been unconscious after taking the medicinal wine in the front yard together.
Then they drew ice-cold well water and splashed it on them one by one to wake them up.
The soldiers were busy working over there.
After calming Liu Huiniang down, Zhao Yuan
Only then did he notice Chen Liqing, who had been standing beside him without moving and staring at him since the beginning.
Looking at the spirited young woman in front of him,
Zhao Yuan couldn't help but recall the scene of their last parting, and subconsciously asked,
"Is your arrow wound in the chest healed?"
Chapter 335 Blind Loyalty
Zhao Yuan had only asked the question casually.
Unexpectedly, Chen Liqing recalled the time she shielded this man from an arrow, only to find she didn't even know his true identity.
This made the female guard feel as if she had been made a fool of.
Chen Liqing grew angrier the more she thought about it, and her face gradually turned pale.
Without thinking, he grabbed the spear in his hand and thrust it forward.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Zhao Yuan looked at Chen Liqing, who had suddenly made a move.
He casually blocked the spear that was thrust at him, and was somewhat confused as to why.
Suddenly, someone called out anxiously from the other side.
"Master Zhao, please, please save my brother!"
Zhao Yuan turned his head and saw that it was Wu Dalang and his wife.
They were awakened by being splashed with cold well water.
I have learned what happened from the soldiers.
Wu Da learned that his younger brother and sister-in-law had been kidnapped by bandits.
The brother, who had gone to pursue the suspect alone, immediately became anxious and rushed to Zhao Yuan's side for help.
Six months ago, Wuhan University went north to Hebei with Zhao Yuan.
The two were already acquainted, although they later learned of Zhao Yuan's true identity.
However, Wu Da still preferred to call Zhao Yuan "Master Zhao" rather than Chief Zhao.
"Brother Wu, don't worry, I have already sent cavalrymen there, and they will definitely be able to bring Brother Wu Song and his wife back together."
