and Liu the Head鏢師, as well as Jia Yi and Liu Yang, I'm afraid we would have lost several lives. 。" Those who stayed at home also said, “We didn't go out, so how can we get a share of the silver We c...Her already beautiful features, coupled with her polite and courteous manner, made everyone like her even more. 。Just then, Old Li's face eased a few points. "Miss Hua, you are too polite. We were also down on our luck and ended up here, it's fate." 。We are here just to pick up the books. We will leave as soon as we have them and won't disturb your peace. 。" These are over a hundred packages," Hua Rú Yuè pointed at them, "The rest are still being sorted, they'll all be sent over." 。"However, we have a request. Could you please help us leave the mountains and return to the Jiangnan region" She spoke plainly, without any roundabout way of saying it. "Our group of women, twenty-six in all, young and old, have reached our limit after struggling to get here..." 。If none of you valiant heroes are willing to help us, our food has been depleted, and we cannot hunt. I fear that the only outcome for us is to starve to death here. 。We sincerely thank all of you brave heroes for your help. We will be eternally grateful and will surely repay you in kind. 。" Having said that, she and several other women knelt down again, leaving Li Lao Si and the others at a loss. They wanted to help her up but hesitated to touch her, so they could only say, "Miss Hua, please get up. Let's talk this through." 。Huā rú yuè didn't receive a definitive answer, her eyes reddened, tears welling up as she gazed at everyone, appearing three parts pitiful and seven parts stubborn and helpless. This sight made everyone feel a pang of sympathy in their hearts, unable to help but pity her. 。Those soldiers couldn't bear it any longer and chimed in, saying, "We guard the dock to welcome reinforcements for the people of Tianwu. Now that we've met them here, of course we can't just ignore them." 。"Yes, Master Hua, get up quickly. Since we've met, we definitely have to save you." 。Li Lao Si and Ye Shan looked at each other, and didn't refuse. 。As a man, it's not right to abandon these vulnerable women in the woods. 。Hua Ru Yue saw the expressions on their faces, and she let out a sigh of relief in her heart. This was when she stood up 。After some idle chatter, she made an excuse to tidy things up and left. 。Here, there shouldn't be anything major happening for now. Mount Yelan brought ten personal soldiers, and with Jia Yi and Liu Yang leading the way, went to investigate the enemy situation over at the mountain. 。Li Lao Si then led the remaining soldiers to cut down trees to make sleds, twist ropes, and prepare to pull luggage for the women. 。As expected, the women successively brought down their luggage and piled it inside the grass shed. 。And finally, over four hundred more books were added, filling up seven or eight sleds. 。The women giggled shyly and thanked him, Li Lao Si didn't think much of it, but the few soldiers blushed and became even more flustered, spinning around. 。Three days later, Ye Shan and the others returned. They were lucky and caught a barbarian. They managed to get some information about the barbarian army nearby. 。There was no time to linger. If the barbarians found them, they would surely give chase and it would be impossible to escape. 。As the departure time approached, Lao Si Li couldn't stand the chattering of these women any longer, so he asked Huaruyue to speak. 。"Flower Branch Master, we promise to take you on the road, and we will do our best. But you must also listen to orders all the way, because there are many dangers in the mountains and forests. There are still a few miles from the mountain to the dock. If we encounter barbarians, we will be in danger of losing our lives." 。"If it's because someone doesn't listen to the arrangements and endangers everyone, don't blame me for my saber being merciless!" Hua Ruh Yue's pupils shrank, and she quickly said, "Okay, Master Li, just give your orders." 。We'll all follow the arrangements and won't hold anyone back. 。" Li Laosì wasn't being polite either, he pointed at the skirt she was wearing. " 。 "You all changed your dresses for long pants, put on shoes that are convenient for walking, and tucked your pant legs and sleeves in, otherwise it's easy to get mosquitoes." 。Wash off any scented powders, as they can attract wild bees. 。When hurrying, try to avoid making any noise, especially screams. Waking up wild beasts would be a big problem. 。All the small pleasures, like picking flowers, are to be put aside. You must not stray from the group, or you risk being bitten by a venomous snake and there is no doctor in our ranks to treat you. 。Conserve your energy as much as possible and use all your strength for walking. We need to get to the riverfront pier as quickly as possible. 。Hua Ru Yue heard and frowned, but she nodded nonetheless. However, the women behind her were displeased. 。"When we came in, we climbed mountains too, and we were still wearing skirts, didn't we slow down our journey""That's right, I kept applying perfume. Where would there be wild bees"Li Lao Si ignored all this and simply threw out a sentence, "We leave in two hours. Anyone who doesn't want to go can stay." 。"If you're willing to follow, then you have to follow the rules!" He said that, then turned his head to check the sled. 。More than four hundred books were piled on a sled, which he and Jia Yi took turns pulling, otherwise they wouldn't feel at ease. 。Even if the women were unhappy, they didn't want to stay. 。Two hours later, they were all ready and set off. 。On the road, in the line, it was deathly quiet. No one dared to speak, but that wouldn't last for long. 。The mountain road was difficult to travel, and we took a shortcut. Our feet were entangled with vines and dry branches. One woman twisted her ankle, another scratched her cheek, crying non-stop. It was never-ending. 。At first, the soldiers would still show some pity and put the injured women on a sled. But the women were lazy and afraid of hardship, they would even sit on the sled if their arms were scratched. 。By the end of the day, almost half the women hadn't taken a few steps. The other half were also sickly. 。The soldiers, hauling their plows, were exhausted. They were also busy setting up camp, gathering firewood and making a fire, which made them even more impatient. 。And then, some women, with a delicate air, were demanding hot water for their feet and faces, treating the soldiers as servants. 。Li Laosì saw it with his own eyes, but didn't speak up. Ye Shan even pretended not to see it. 。They had been warned before, but the soldiers couldn't help themselves. These past few days, they not only got tricked by the women but also frequently pleaded for them. 。Now let them experience firsthand what it means to receive the grace of a beauty, so they can learn their lesson. 。Li Lao Si didn't know what a dance troupe was, nor had he ever seen dancing. But just thinking about it, he knew these women relied on pleasing wealthy people to survive. They must have been spoiled and pursued by men in their daily lives. 。Although now fallen on hard times, he has not changed some of his habits. 。He didn't despise their origins, but he was also unwilling to get close, and he wouldn't be controlled by them. 。It took eight or nine days to arrive and more than half a month to return. 。It was half a month later when everyone finally walked out of the forest and faintly saw the river. 。A group of women had lost their feminine grace, each wearing a headscarf and carrying a bundle on their backs, with trousers rolled up to their ankles, indistinguishable from village women in the mountains. 。On the third day of their journey, they had completely exhausted the patience and compassion of the soldiers. Then all the chores like gathering firewood, starting a fire, boiling water and cooking porridge fell upon them. 。If they weren't seriously injured, they would walk on their own two feet and wouldn't receive any special treatment. 。The women no longer joked and chatted with the soldiers, a newfound fear crept into their eyes, mixed with resentment and anger. 。Ye Shan brought two soldiers back to the dock first to report and await someone. 。Hua Ru Yue pondered for a moment, then changed into a new dress and arranged her hair. Although weariness still lingered in her eyes and brows, her beauty made her appear even more pitiable. 。Li Lao Si saw this, guessed her thoughts, and ignored her. 。He was getting desperate, having been gone for nearly a month. His family must be terribly worried. 。If he had known these women would be so much trouble, he would have taken the books and left without them. 。Tell Jiangnan to let the Marquis send someone to rescue us. 。But there's no cure for regret in the world! People slowly made their way down the mountain, hiding in the forest, waiting to be picked up. 。As dusk fell, a large group of people finally came running over. 。When they saw their comrades, the soldiers were all happy to greet them. 。The women couldn't hold back either and jostled forward. 。Flowers are like the moon, surrounded in the middle, looking up at the mountain path 。Hundreds of horsemen, their hooves pounding the ground, kicked up dust as they thundered forward in a mighty display. 。A tall figure rode towards them astride a black steed, clad in silver armor and wielding a long sword. He exuded an air of power as he charged forward. 。The fiery red sunset, cast a magnificent crimson hue upon his silver armor, making him appear like a god descended from myth. 。The horse came forward, and the general of the cavalry raised his hand to open the face mask. 。

Huaruyue's heart suddenly pounded...
