Lord God, do you want a wife?

Chapter 106: The spoiled Jin wants to marry a husband (17)

His heart had begun to waver, and his eyes lingered on Bai Nian, trying to find a flaw in her expression.

But that bright face was filled with only disdain and ridicule.

A surge of anger welled up in his heart. He knew that what Bai Nian said made sense. Isn't human nature just so ugly?

Seeing that his brothers around him were still struggling hard, he raised his sword and tried to make a final struggle.

Hearing Bai Nian say calmly: "The officers and soldiers from the county government are coming."

The sound of horse hooves came from afar, shaking the ground.

They were already at a disadvantage. If people from the county government came, would they still have a chance to survive?

Li Feng's heart sank to the bottom, and he roared in anger: "I will fight you--"

With great momentum, he raised his sword and drew an arc in the air, his voice full of resentment.

Even if he dies, he will ask a few people to take the blame for him!

The guards of the Bai family stood in front of Bai Nian and took the knife.

The next second, Li Feng raised a strange smile at the corner of his lips.

Seeing this, Bai Nian secretly thought that something was wrong and wanted to open his mouth to warn the Bai family guards, but before he could do so, he felt dizzy.

Are the guards of the Bai family just there to eat?

Given the situation, how could we be caught by bandits from behind?

When he lost his balance and fell off the cliff, Bai Nian saw a thin bandit who had not yet had time to retract his hand.

The guards realized something was wrong and turned around and rushed towards Bai Nian, trying to hold her back.

But everything happened too fast, and he could only watch Bai Nian fall.

Bai Nian waved his hands a few times, trying to grab the vines beside the cliff. The vines were not thick, and this body had never practiced martial arts, so his wrists had no strength, and after a few grabs, only a scratch was left.

After just a few breaths, she fell heavily to the ground.

A sharp pain came over me, as if my limbs were not my own, and everything went dark before my eyes.

It's not going to end here, is it?

She hasn’t even touched the big abdominal muscles of Yu Xiao in this world?

She cursed inwardly a few times and then fainted completely.

When Bai Nian fell off the cliff, the Bai family guards who were fighting with the bandits became confused.

The guard close to Bai Nian killed the skinny bandit with one sword.

Shu'er lay beside the cliff, looking down anxiously, no longer caring about whether they were bandits or not.

She grew up with Bai Nian. Although they were master and servant, Bai Nian had always been very kind to her and treated her as a real sister.

How could Shu'er not be anxious?

Fortunately, people from the county government finally arrived at this time.

When these bandits saw the officers and soldiers, they were like mice seeing a cat, and they became completely confused.

With the cooperation of Bai family guards, they captured these bandits in no time.

The leader was a military commander in his thirties with a righteous look on his face.

Wearing silver armor and holding a spear in his hand.

At this moment, he was holding several portraits in his hands, brows furrowed, obviously comparing them and marking key targets.

He didn't care about the strange behavior of the Bai family members nearby.

After a while, he looked up and his gaze finally stopped on Shu'er.

Seeing her anxious look, he walked up to her.

"Miss, are you the daughter of the Bai family?" Qi Yueshan's voice was low, with a solemn aura around him, but his eyes revealed a hint of concern.

When Shu'er heard someone asking, she raised her head quickly, tears in her eyes, and her voice choked: "No... I'm not, Miss... Miss she fell down!"

It’s no wonder that he made the mistake of identifying someone. The Bai family was wealthy, and even the maids were dressed better than the girls of ordinary families.

Not to mention a personal maid like Shu'er, who was wearing clothes that many young ladies from wealthy families in Lu'an County didn't even have.

Qi Yueshan's face darkened and he immediately ordered the soldiers beside him: "Quick, organize people, go down the mountain to search for Miss Bai, die..." Looking at Shu'er crying in front of him, Qi Yueshan swallowed the words on his lips.

He added stiffly, "We must find him!"

The soldier took the order and left, while Qi Yueshan walked to the cliff and observed carefully.

The cliff is not high, but it can be fatal if you land in the wrong posture.

He has received news that the Bai family is likely to become the royal merchant this year, and Bai Nian is the only daughter of the Bai family.

Something could happen to her in other places, but not in Lu'an County.

Qi Yueshan felt even more unsure. He turned around, looked at Shu'er, and said as gently as possible, "Miss, I have already sent my men there. Why don't you take a break and go back to the county town to rest for a while. This place is not safe."

Shu'er kept shaking her head, and it looked like she would not give up until the person came back.

Qi Yueshan had a headache. He was a military general and had no way to deal with such a weak woman who could be crushed to death with one hand.

"My lady, the bandits we caught this time are just small fry. They are all from the Black Bear Village. Miss Bai sent a letter through someone else before. One of the three leaders, Li Feng, will also come this time. But I have just counted them and he is not among them. So it is very dangerous here now."

Qi Yueshan didn't know whether the information given by Bai Nian was wrong, or whether Li Feng was a cautious person and would not personally be present at such a murder case.

Shu'er finally reacted when she heard the word "Li Feng" and she looked up suddenly.

"Li Feng? He was here just now! Just when the young lady fell off the cliff!"

Qi Yueshan frowned, and he realized that Li Feng might have taken advantage of this opportunity to run away.

He was a little annoyed. Maybe if he had been faster, he could have caught them all in one fell swoop. But he really didn't dare to let the Bai family stay here any longer.

This Li Feng is the third in command of the Black Bear Village. He has a group of younger brothers outside and they all call him the Big Boss.

It feels like I want to start my own business.

He usually does everything from robbery to murder and looting.

Li Feng was quite petty, and there were rumors that he was penniless when he first arrived in Lu'an County.

I stole a few buns from the bun shop in the east of the city and got beaten up by the owner. Every time I passed by, the owner would point at my nose and scold me.

Later, he and a few drinking buddies gathered a group of younger brothers to set up the Black Bear Camp. The first thing they did was to kill the bun shop owner and his family, and even cut off his tongue.

With such a grudge, Qi Yueshan felt that he would most likely return to Lu'an County and attack the Bai family again.

This Li Feng is like a knife on your neck.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Shu'er stand up. Her small body stood on the edge of the cliff, as if she could be blown away by the wind.

She sniffed. She hadn't noticed Li Feng's whereabouts before, but now that she knew he had taken advantage of the chaos to escape, she naturally thought about the consequences.

"I'll take them back to Lu'an County. We had booked an inn before, but now it seems that we can no longer stay there."

After hearing this, Qi Yueshan breathed a sigh of relief.

He was also afraid that if he continued to persuade Shu'er, she would insist on not leaving, and then he would really be helpless.

Qi Yueshan's brows relaxed, and he cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, young lady. Now that you are in Lu'an County, we will ensure your safety."

Shu'er looked down the cliff worriedly, nodded, and said gratefully: "Thank you... this general."

"My name is Qi Yueshan, and I am the garrison commander of Lu'an County." He paused, looking at the man lying on the ground who was obviously dressed differently from the bandits, with some hesitation on his face, "Then... Miss, how are you going to deal with these people from the Bai family? Do you need help taking them back for a proper burial?"

Qi Yueshan was thinking about how these people should have died tragically while protecting the Bai family, and it didn't seem right for them to deal with it.

Shu'er's gaze lingered on the fallen servant for a while, and there was no sadness in her eyes as Qi Yueshan had imagined.

On the contrary, his eyes were cold and his tone was indifferent.

"No need, they are just traitors, they deserve to die. I will trouble General Qi to help deal with them. Their death is not a pity."

Qi Yueshan was a little surprised when he heard this, and his eyes were complicated.

It seems that the Bai family is not as simple as he imagined. The news about the bandits was told to them by the Bai family, and now even the matter of clearing out the family is part of their calculations.

Everyone is their pawn.

So...why are there so many so-called "traitors" in the Bai family?

As far as he knew, the Bai family treated all their servants well, which could be seen from the clothes Shu'er was wearing.

Qi Yueshan led the horse over, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

----------

Bai Nian was awakened by the pain. When he opened his eyes, it was still daylight.

She wasn't sure if she had just blacked out for a moment or if it had been days.

But my body didn’t hurt as much as when I first fell, and I felt a little confused.

After opening the system panel, I finally saw an "already used" sign behind [Blessing of the Cat Tribe].

I called out 00 several times in my heart, but still no response.

She has now completely lost hope in this kind of artificial intelligence. Fortunately, the props from the previous world saved her life, otherwise the mission would have failed here and she would have been really angry to death.

When she stood up, she felt that she had no fatal injuries, but many minor ones.

I guess this prop can only save your life.

She looked up and saw that the mountain wall was steep and winding, covered with vines. There were some protruding rocks that looked like they could be used as fulcrums for climbing.

When Bai Nian held his hand on it, he felt a sharp pain in his hand.

Well, it seems that climbing up there is a complete dream.

I guess even if I wasn't injured, it would be impossible to climb up.

She looked at the cliff, somewhat unsure of where she fell from.

Looking around, she found that she had fallen into a forest, and the sunlight shone through the sparse leaves onto the ground.

There was a stream not far away, and she took a few deep breaths to calm herself.

At least there is water and the situation is not too bad.

I’m afraid of encountering wild beasts in this forest.

Bai Nian also inquired and found out that many villages near Lu'an County relied on hunting in the mountains for their livelihood.

Since she fell down, the people of the Bai family would not ignore her and would definitely send people down the mountain to search for her. She did not dare to go too far away from this place.

She moved her body slowly, trying to move to the water source.

Suddenly I heard a rustling sound behind me, like some animal stirring up the bushes.

She was nervous.

My luck can't be that bad, can it?

Whatever she said came true. Why didn’t I think her words were so effective before?

She held her breath and stared at the bushes where the sound came from.

A small black shadow jumped out from inside, and Bai Nian looked closely and found that it was a gray hare.

It didn't seem to be afraid of people. It looked towards Bai Nian curiously, then lowered its head and continued to look for food.

Bai Nian breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled softly, and thought to herself with some self-mockery that she was really seeing enemies everywhere. Even a little rabbit could make her so nervous.

Before he sat down, an arrow pierced the rabbit's head.

The arrow was placed in a very tricky position, a position that would not damage the hare's fur.

The hare fell to the ground instantly, its hind legs still twitching.

Her eyes then turned to the direction from which the arrow came, and she was secretly alert, not knowing whether the person coming was an enemy or a friend.

The sunlight filtered through the treetops, illuminating a tall figure. The man walked towards us with steady steps, broad shoulders and a broad back, fiddling with the bushes.

Because the sun was shining behind his back, Bai Nian couldn't see the face clearly.

My heart, which had just calmed down, was hanging again.

After all, she is now a weak woman who is powerless. No, not only weak, she is probably half disabled.

My legs can’t move and my hands can’t hit.

If the person who came really had bad intentions, what could she do?

Fortunately, the person came closer and she could see him clearly before she relaxed and leaned against the tree next to her.

It’s Yu Xiao.

The glowing fragment of the main god.

She lowered her eyes and pursed her lips. She knew she would be safe once she saw Yu Xiao.

The result of being too relaxed was that Bai Nian began to feel dizzy again, and even a patch of light appeared in front of his eyes.

She shook her head hard, trying to dispel the spots of light in front of her eyes.

I clicked my tongue in my heart, wondering if he would hit his head.

She didn't want to become a fool.

Bai Nian sat leaning against a tree, his mind still wandering.

Sure enough, after a few breaths she heard Yu Xiao's voice.

"Miss Bai?" Then there were the sounds of approaching footsteps.

She could feel that the sunlight in front of her was blocked. When she opened her eyes, she saw Yu Xiao half-squatting in front of her.

"Brother Yu Xiao, I encountered bandits and fell down." Bai Nian curled his lips, and his eyes quickly filled with tears.

Yu Xiao was shocked when he heard this, remembering that he had heard from villagers earlier that a convoy of luxurious horse-drawn carriages passed by the village.

It is probably the Bai family’s convoy.

Yu Xiao calculated the distance and guessed where Bai Nian fell from.

I became even more anxious, because this height was no small matter.

He put down the bow and arrow in his hand. He didn't care about anything else at the moment. He squatted down and carefully checked her injuries.

Bai Nian looked at him with empty eyes. Yu Xiao seemed to have only one set of clothes on. He was still wearing the same coarse cloth shirt that she had worn when she first met him.

The difference is that compared to when we met that day, there are a few more cuts on it from nowhere.

Because of his movements, his shirt was stretched tight, revealing his muscular body. The cuffs of his arms were pulled up, revealing his muscles with blue veins, making him look particularly powerful.

Bai Nian felt his heart beating a little faster.

"Brother Yu Xiao, I...I feel dizzy." Bai Nian's voice was weak, with a barely perceptible hint of dependence.
