Reborn Concubine's Wife

Chapter 33 The Birch Forest (1)
After an unknown amount of time, she heard Zheng Ruo beside her say in a low voice, "Here we are." She hastily imitated her and looked outside.

About [-] meters away, a convoy of six carriages came meandering.There are several strong men with long swords around their waists guarding them.

"Girl..."

"Hush..." Zheng Ruo put his index finger on his lips, "Don't talk, be careful not to be discovered."

Liu Xu immediately silenced, looked at Zheng Ruo puzzled, then turned to look outside again.

In the woods, there was the sound of the carriage rolling over the stones and the iron hooves of the horses. Zheng Ruo remained very quiet, like a cheetah hiding in the jungle waiting for an opportunity.Her eyes were dark and dark, bottomless, and she didn't know what was thinking in her heart.

The convoy is very long, maybe it has driven a long way, and I am a little tired, walking very slowly.At this moment, a scream pierced the sky, piercing the eardrums of people.At the front of the convoy, about forty men raised their right hands, and the convoy stopped immediately.The guards all drew out their long swords around their waists, and surrounded the carriage, looking extremely vigilant.

The curtain of the front carriage was pulled open, revealing a fat head, and asked with some displeasure: "What happened? Why didn't you leave?"

"My lord..." Before the leader could finish his sentence, something flew over in mid-air, and the fat man in the car immediately retracted his head in fright.

What flew over was a thick piece of wood, and after one piece flew over, many pieces of wood flew over one after another, each one as thick as a person's waist.The speed was so fast that wherever they passed, they heard a few muffled noises, and some people fell to the ground with their brains cracked, and some people clutched their stomachs and yelled in pain.

After the wood flew over, there were several sounds of piercing through the air, and they came towards the convoy with a "swish, swish, swish".But the sharp branches that had been cut flew forward one after another. After the initial stupefied, someone swiped a few with a long sword, and the sound of "Puff..." came, and more branches were like arrows. Like an arrow, it penetrates the human body.The screams became one piece.

Liu Xu looked at it for a while, then bent over and vomited unbearably.In contrast, Zheng Ruo's gaze was still fixed on those convoys, his expression was so calm that even those guards who had killed people would look sideways.

"Run away, run away!" A panicked shout came from the convoy.

"Protect your lord!" The leading man shouted loudly, and the guards immediately narrowed the protective circle to protect the first carriage, and fled forward.

As soon as the first carriage fled, the following carriages began to panic.The coachmen whipped their whips furiously, and the horses began to gallop through the woods.However, after walking for a long time, I heard the horse's neck raised and a long roar, followed by a loud "bang", and the horse fell to the ground.Zheng Ruo could see clearly that someone was pulling the rope in the forest.In her previous life, she read it in a book called "Tripping the Horse". When Shi Yue was frowning about the war, she offered this trick.Now that I have seen it for real, I know that a rope is not to be underestimated.

After such a long time, there were logs, branches, and horse thimblers. All Zheng Ruo saw was the blood splattered and broken limbs of the people in the convoy flying around, but he never saw the enemies of these people.

The previous scene was so tragic that even a big man like Xu Yi couldn't bear to watch it anymore, and covered his mouth and vomited aside.But Zheng Ruo still looked at everything in front of him very calmly.As if this is not real, but just an illusion.

Just when Zheng Ruo was puzzled, countless arrows flew out in front of him again. Although they were not as sharp as those in the army, they were harvesting lives one by one.There were six carriages lying on the ground in disorder, and many people climbed out of the carriages, including old women, children, and young women.However, once they got out of the carriage, what awaited them was death.

In the end, all that remained was the first carriage and the ten guards surrounding it.

After a burst of arrows, only the wailing of people was heard in the woods.

"I don't know who is the hero?" The leading man shouted loudly, "Why don't we come out and meet each other?"

Zheng Ruo didn't blink her eyes, she also wanted to know who was able to beat this team so badly?You must know that the fat man sitting in the first carriage is the wife and brother of the sheriff, and those guards are all well-trained soldiers.But now there are only ten guards left with no less than a hundred people, and the fat man's family members are also dead or injured.

Who on earth can beat them to pieces?Could it be that he is really a barbarian as he said in his previous life?

Thinking of the barbarians, Zheng Ruo's body trembled slightly.Afterwards, she comforted herself that the appearance of the barbarians was not now.The person who can count against the county guard's wife and brother in this way must be someone who has a deep hatred with him.

However, this is not her purpose here.

"Hero, why don't you come out and meet each other!" The guard leader shouted again into the air.The people around him were holding long swords, all of them looked stern.The wounded fell to the ground and sobbed. The fat man in the carriage was trembling, his hair was disheveled, and he was already terrified.

"Pu Leng Leng..." There was a sound, and everyone turned around to look at the source of the sound like a frightened bird. "Quack..." But a few crows were disturbed and flew into the sky.

"Wow..." The fat man in the car couldn't stand being disturbed by the oppressive and tragic atmosphere, and cried loudly.Just when the attention of the guards was distracted, a sudden change occurred.

Many people appeared in the woods, at a glance, there were no fewer than 200 people.The carriage was surrounded by dense crowds, the leader of the guards looked at it and sneered a few times.Just these rabble?Don't be afraid!

Indeed, even Zheng Ruo was stunned.What's so scary about these ragged people, all sallow, who can't hold sticks in their hands?Is it these people who beat the team so badly?Zheng Ruo was a little skeptical.It's a pity that I stayed in my boudoir in the previous life, and I overheard this tragedy in the woods.She didn't know the specific situation.

"I advise you to leave quickly! If the army of the county guard comes, your lives will be lost!" The guard leader said in a deep voice.

However, the beggars did not move.They may be sallow and thin, and look very weak, but their eyes are like beasts, and when they look at the millet scattered on the ground by the convoy, they have a scorching brilliance.
