“Alright, I’m also feeling stifled. If it’s ugly, then it’s ugly. Use it against me!”

The bailiffs who went to look for him cursed and laughed as they walked into the forest.

Xing Ruhai’s voice was still hoarse, and tears of blood were flowing out of rhe corners of his eyes. His eyes were filled with hatred, and his clenched fists and nails were deeply embedded in his palms. If he had a knife, he would not hesitate to kill the bastard who stained his wife’s innocence.

Afraid he would move, the bailiffs tightly pressed down on Xing Ruhai, trampling him under their feet like animals.

The bailiffs who searched the forest for people did not come out for a long time. The bailiff leader felt that something was wrong. He picked up the knife on the ground and ordered his subordinates in a low voice,

“The situation isn’t right; grab your weapons.”

When rhe bailiff finished speaking, he saw three masked men coming out of the forest. They were all holding knives and rushing toward them with murderous intent.

“Quick, someone’s taking the prisoners.”

The bailiff leader hurriedly shouted and called his subordinates to attack together. He was confident that he could defeat the other party because they had more people than the other party.

The bailiffs felt they were no match for them and quickly admitted defeat to seek a way out. They realized that these three people were powerful only after they fought. It was easy for them to fight against three people alone. One after another, the bailiffs were killed.

“Brother, if you have something to say, let’s talk. Are you looking for money? I’ll pay for the passage.”

The government runner wanted to spend money to buy peace. They encountered bandits many times on the road, but they did not rob them. They did not want to go against the government directly. Moreover, a group of poor exiles did not have much money, so they had been safe along the way.

He didn’t expect that he would encounter a robbery when he was almost at Jingshi Dao. He imagined them to be bandits and hoped that they were bandits.

The bandits only wanted money. They would let the people go after raking the money.

If it were to kidnap a prisoner, it would be money and life.

“I want your dirty money?”

Qu Da cursed angrily and slashed the knife in his hand at the head of the bailiff. The bailiff hurriedly lowered his head in fear. His hat was cut off, and the bun on his head was also cut off. The broken hair fell and blocked his eyes.

Qu Da’s first slash missed, and he slashed again. The bailiff did not dodge this time, and his head rolled to the ground, unable to rest in peace.

The remaining bailiffs were terrified when they saw their men and bailiffs being killed. They wanted to beg for mercy, but Qu Da did not give them a chance. They had risked their lives to kill the enemy on the battlefield to protect the people, not to protect these beasts.

Moreover, since they had kidnapped rhe prisoners, none of these bailiffs could be left alive. They had to die.

The exiles were frightened by the soul-stirring killing scene. They didn’t know if the steel knife would be placed on their necks in the next moment, and they hugged each other and trembled.

Xing Ruhai, on the other hand, was filled with passion as he watched. These beasts had received their retribution. The one who killed them was a hero.

All rhe bailiffs were killed. Qu Da asked Jiang Cheng to bring another subordinate to deal with rhe corpses. Of course, they had to take rhe money and belongings in their bags. Bandits were nor for nothing. They did nor leave empty-handed.

“Thank you, warrior.”

When Xing Ruhai saw Qu Da walking over, he cupped his fists and thanked Qu Da with tears.

Qu Da walked before him and raised his steel knife at Xing Ruhai, wanting to see his courage.

He saw Xing Ruhai looking at him with a calm expression. There was no fear in his eyes. It was as if he was looking forward to being killed.

“Not afraid of death?”

Qu Da asked Xing Ruhai curiously. Xing Ruhai smiled bitterly and shook his head.

“Madam was humiliated, but as her husband, I couldn’t save her. How could I have the face to live in this world?”

Qu Da smiled. So that was the case.

“Your wife wasn’t humiliated. We’ve already saved her. Please help her up, sir.

It’s nor convenient for us to help her.”

“Really?”

Xing Ruhai was overjoyed when he heard Qu Da’s words and asked him excitedly.

“Really. 1’11 cut off your shackles and ankles. You can help Madam out yourself!”

After Qu Da finished speaking, he asked Xing Ruhai to move his hand away. When he raised his knife to cut, Jiang Cheng handed him a key.

“Use the key.”

“Why didn’t you take it out earlier?”

Qu Da took the key and complained to Jiang Cheng. Jiang Cheng smiled,

“I just found it.”

Xing Ruhai, whose hands and feet had been freed, ran into the forest. Madam Xing had just woken up from her coma. She thought she had been humiliated and was now holding her belt, wanting to hang herself.

“Madam, Madam.”

Xing Ruhai ran into the forest and shouted for Madam, but Madam Xing refused to turn around.

“Husband, I no longer have the face to see you. You…You can leave now!”

After saying that, she threw the belt onto the tree trunk without hesitation and quickly tied it up, intending to die.

“Madam, Madam.”

Xing Ruhai ran to her side and hugged her tightly.

“You weren’t humiliated. Your benefactor saved you.”

“I wasn’t?”

Madam Xing couldn’t believe that she hadn’t been humiliated. Xing Ruhai hurriedly nodded.

“No, the benefactor has already killed those bailiffs.”

“Husband.”

When Madam Xing heard she was not humiliated, she burst into tears and threw herself into Xing Ruhai’s arms.

Qu Da had innocently killed all the bailiffs and looked at the prisoners with worry.

They couldn’t kill these pitiful people but couldn’t bring them back either. Qu Da went over and unshackled them, giving each of them a few taels of silver.

“You guys can find your way out.”

“Where are we going to find a way to survive?”

These people looked at Qu Da in fear. Although they knew he wouldn’t lull them, they were still terrified of Qu Da after seeing him kill those bailiffs.

“Go back. It’s warm in the south. Otherwise, with your clothes, you’ll freeze to death before you reach Jingshi Dao.”

Qu Da didn’t want them to go to Jingshi Dao because he didn’t want to cause trouble.

“Alright, alright.”

These people were also in a daze. Qu Da pointed out the way, and they ran away in a panic.

Only Xing Ruhai and his family were left.

“Brother Xing, why don’t you come with us? Otherwise, you won’t be able to stay safe in this chaotic world.”

Qu Da said to Xing Ruhai.

Xing Ruhai had no idea either, but he knew one thing. His face was branded with the word prisoner, and he would be arrested if he met the soldiers. Even if the four of them went out, they would not survive.

“I’m afraid that 1’11 implicate my benefactor.”

Xing Ruhai pointed at the word “Prisoner” on his face.

“It’s fine. Our young master’s wife can help you get rid of this word.”

In Qu Da’s and Jiang Cheng’s hearts, Su Qing was already their Young Mistress. They knew the Young Mistress’s ability. She could change a person’s appearance, so a mere prisoner was naturally not a problem.

Xing Ruhai and his wife discussed for a while and firmly made up their minds. Even if Qu Da and the others were bandits, he would still follow them and become bandits.

There was no need to be loyal to such a bullshit Imperial Court. As long as the Wan Clan did not fall, Wan Shengchang could forget about living a good life as long as he was the Prime Minister.

If today’s humiliation would reappear, he might as well become a bandit.

ji Shuisheng and the others still did not know that Qu Da had already killed the bailiffs. He brought people to build two simple stoves with stones at the shelter. It was great to burn coal. They did nor have to stare at it like burning firewood. Moreover, the heat was much warmer than firewood.

Su Qing brought the girls and covered the ground with grass. They were used to sleeping in the open, so everyone slept like this. The tiger’s skin was almost dried after being blown by the wind for an entire afternoon. Su Qing laid it out for Qin Feng. He was old, and his body, which had just recovered from a severe illness, could not stand the cold.

Qin Feng sighed. Before, he had slept on cotton and feather mattresses bur never on a tiger skin. It was too extravagant.

At night, everyone had roasted potatoes. They found that the potatoes were delicious. They tasted good no matter how they were eaten. They could be used as a staple food or a dish.

Now that he had nothing to do, he distributed plums to everyone to replenish vitamins and quench thirst.

Su Qing gave some chestnuts to Xiao Qi to use as a tonic.

The rest of the chestnuts were fried in a big pot. It was convenient to have a stove anyway. The stir-fried chestnuts could be eaten on the road.

Unexpectedly, someone followed the fragrance of the roasted chestnuts and came over. Li Danin, who was in charge of guarding, shouted,

“Who is it?”
