Chapter 157 Hostage

While Liu Ruyan was picking up food for the bandits, she frowned and asked, "What's going on in the house? Does it sound like a woman crying?"

"Aren't they just two girls?" The strong man held the bowl, drank the whole drink, and then shouted loudly, "Lao Zhang, let's eat!"

The bandit next to him tore off a piece of beef and ate it until his mouth was full of oil. "How can that guy be hungry when he has a woman to play with?"

At this time, the door of the granary opened from the inside, and a man with a full beard poked out from behind the door, "I have taken off my pants, let me eat!"

As soon as Luo Xihu finished speaking, he saw the brothers outside the house falling down one after another, and the drinks were spilled all over the floor.

He was stunned for a moment, realized something was wrong, and was about to call someone, but was hit in the throat by a flying knife from the air, and fell to the ground dead on the spot.

Through the open door, blood flowed into the house.

The little maid almost suffered an ordeal and was staring at the door with a look of fear on her face.

Against the light, the Taoist figure is reflected in the sight.

As the figure gradually approached, she saw clearly that it was a "cook" with an unattractive appearance.

Liu Ruyan walked into the granary and naturally saw the maid and the woman sitting in the corner with alert eyes.

The woman caressed her slightly bulging belly, her eyes moistened, "If you dare to touch us even a little bit, my husband will not let you go lightly."

Liu Ruyan pursed her lips and walked towards the woman.

She cut off all the ropes behind the woman's back with one swift stroke: "Find a place to hide first. Once it's safe, please ask Madam to leave this place quickly."

After saying that, she rescued the maid again.

Mrs. Yu was surprised and uncertain: "Are you from the Yamen...or did my husband send you here?"

"None of them." Liu Ruyan took back the dagger and asked her, "I see that my wife behaves unusually. She must be from a wealthy family. I don't know why she was imprisoned here by bandits?"

Mrs. Yu lowered her eyes and said slowly: "My husband is just a grain merchant, and he is often on the road. Now that I am pregnant, I wanted to go back to my parents' house to wait for the birth. Unexpectedly, I met these bandits on the way. The young men who were accompanying me were mixed.

The servants all let them feed the vicious dogs, and only the slave family and the maid were left..."

Liu Ruyan nodded, looked around the granary, and found that there was quite a lot of grain, gold and silver piled up in the room.

It seems that the bandits not only killed people and looted goods, but also extorted money.

"Actually, I heard that there is another person imprisoned in the wine cellar. I wonder if Young Hero can rescue him too?" Mrs. Yu said with an anxious look.

Liu Ruyan came to save people because Mrs. Yu was pregnant with Liujia. At this moment, she didn't want to waste time, and the top priority was to eliminate the den of thieves.

"Host, please go to the wine cellar to save people!" Ye Xun suddenly said.

Liu Ruyan paused, but saw Ye Xun's face was serious. She immediately did not dare to be careless and walked towards the wine cellar.

It is said to be a wine cellar, but it is actually a cave dug out of the ground, surrounded by wine jars.

There was a person prostrate in the wine cellar, his hair disheveled, making it difficult to see his face.

Hearing the footsteps, the man's lips parted and his voice was very hoarse.

"Water - I want to drink water -"

Liu Ruyan's belongings were all stored in the system space. She squatted down, took out the water bag, and handed it over.

As soon as the man touched the water bag, he immediately hugged it, uncorked the bottle, drank endlessly, and finally wiped his mouth and asked: "Where is the food?"

It seemed that the other party mistook her for the cook who was delivering the food. Liu Ruyan didn't bother to explain and just took out two pieces of cakes.

The man seemed to have been imprisoned for too long. He was not picky and chewed the dry biscuits.

Liu Ruyan looked at the man for a while. His hair and beard were messy. She couldn't figure out why Ye Xun asked her to save such a person.

While the other person was eating the cake, she used a dagger to cut off the rope around his ankle. Immediately, the man was so shocked that he couldn't say anything and looked at Liu Ruyan helplessly.

"There will be a riot in the village later, uncle, take care of yourself," she said.

After rescuing the person, Liu Ruyan immediately ran towards the cafeteria.

At the other end of the canteen, Liu Xin had put the food on the table and was inviting the people in the village to sit down.

Liu Ruyan looked around and found that several people guarding the watchtower were also here, which was exactly what she wanted.

She took out the highly poisonous wine from the kitchen and filled it for everyone.

The leader of the bandit village stood up. He picked up the wine cup and said to everyone present: "Brothers, you have worked hard these days. When the profiteer named Yu pays the ransom, we can go to the brothel and have fun again."

Liu Ruyan remained calm. She stood behind the leader and saw him bring the cup to his lips.

But at this moment, Kunlun slave stumbled into the lobby and shouted desperately: "There are soldiers attacking the village, it's the Song Army!"

Song Army?

Liu Ruyan frowned. She had told Dong Qingxian to stop Sun Qing from acting rashly.

The bandit leader's expression kept changing. He suddenly remembered something important and ordered: "You guys go to the granary and take a look."

"People... people are gone..." his men gasped as they left and returned from the granary.

"What!" The leader's eyes were fierce, and he grabbed him by the collar, "Please tell me clearly, who is missing?"

"The younger one just went to the granary to check and found that the gatekeeper brother was poisoned and the Yu family's wife ran away!"

Hearing this, the bandit leader's face was full of anger. He cursed, rolled up his sleeves and shouted: "Agui, you can take the people to search separately, even if you dig three feet in the ground, you still have to find her! The other brothers and I will kill Song Bing."

, Let these bastards never come back!"

"Boss, I seem to see the little maid next to Mrs. Yu!" Someone suddenly shouted, "She's right there!"

Liu Ruyan looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough she saw the little maid sticking her head out carelessly. After realizing that something was wrong here, the little maid ran back in panic.

Soon, the maid was captured.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me..." She begged for mercy with a trembling voice.

The leader looked at her sideways, and the tip of the knife lingered along the girl's smooth neck, "Where is your wife?"

"My slave and my wife got separated. I don't know anything about her. I don't know where she went."

"Useless thing!" the leader yelled angrily, so frightened that the little maid turned pale for a while.

"Boss, why don't we ask who rescued her? Maybe some spies got into our village."

"Yes, this girl definitely knows."

When the leader heard this, his expression suddenly softened, and a sly smile appeared on his lips: "Little girl, if you can tell me who saved you, I will spare your life."

The little maid finally raised her head.

She hesitated for a moment, then her eyes fell on Liu Ruyan.

From the beginning to the end, Liu Ruyan kept her eyebrows downcast, but the cook's clothes she wore stood out among the crowd.

The maid approached Liu Ruyan and took a serious look at her, from initial hesitation to final determination.

"It was him! It was he who broke into the granary and rescued Mrs. Yu!"

The leader's eyes were gloomy, "If there's something wrong with the cook, I'll chop him to death."

Liu Ruyan cursed secretly, and she immediately used the Hanyue Sword to kill the bandit who was close to her.

Liu Xin saw that the situation had taken a turn for the worse. He had an idea and said to the bandit next to him: "This spy's martial arts is so good. How about I guard the rear for my brother?"

"Oh, okay!" The man agreed readily.

Liu Xin stood behind him and made a sneak attack, successfully succeeding.

Liu Xin stood behind the crowd and took advantage of the chaos to kill a few thieves. However, this trick worked at first. Later, when he was discovered, the bandits raised their swords and chopped at Liu Xin.

Liu Xin was shocked and frightened. He fled to Liu Ruyan's side. Seeing that the surroundings were full of strong men, he looked frustrated: "It seems that we two can't escape."
