As Lv Zhi drove on, the sound of a flute suddenly came from within the mountain forest. The flute's sound was vast and distant, as it floated with the wind, and its lingering sound made it seem like a string of silk.

Lv Zhi was baffled, "Why would there be someone playing the flute in the wilderness at dusk? Isn't this person afraid of attracting wild beasts? "

Following the sound of the flute, Lu Zhi looked over. He saw a burly man standing on top of a mountain, as if he were a deep and unmoving mountain. He was tall and muscular with a full beard, a straight nose, and thick eyebrows and long cheeks. He was holding a bamboo flute in his hand while silently playing it against the setting sun. He seemed to have a heavy heart and his voice was filled with a sense of loneliness.

Most of the people who played the flute were gentle, but a tough guy actually liked this tune, which made Lv Zhi even more surprised. She couldn't help but look at that person a few more times before relaxing a little. The horse below her couldn't help but slow down its pace.

When the big sized man saw Lv Zhi looking at him, he slightly nodded his head to show his respect.

Lv Zhi did not care about her identity as a woman, and did not look at her too much, raising her whip, she spurred her horse forward.

In front of them was a three-way intersection, and turning to the right was Mangdang Mountain.

The galloping steed suddenly let out a long hiss, and with a flash of its hooves, it crouched down.

It turned out that there was a stumbling rope on the road that was tied between two big trees.

Lv Zhi immediately rolled over on her horse and fell to the ground.

A whistle sounded out, and more than ten men rushed out from the dense forest, wielding weapons and shouting as they pounced at Lv Zhi.

"Crap, I encountered a robber with a cut!" Lv Zhi was shocked.

The group of people rushed up and surrounded Lu Hou. More than ten pairs of lustful eyes looked towards Lu Zhi. The one in the lead had a ferocious appearance. He had a large, bloody mouth with a nose that was deep and deep. He looked 30% like a human and 70% like a ghost.

One of the lackeys said with a smile, "Big brother sure is lucky today to have picked up a beauty." The leader let out a hollow laugh. "That's right. Although this woman is a bit old, she's still tender and delicate. I want to enjoy her properly today." That lackey snickered and asked, "Big brother, you've finished enjoying it. I wonder if we're brothers?" The leader said, "Big brother has never forgotten about you two. "Don't worry, I'll take care of this woman for one night. Tomorrow, all of you will have a share as well." All the underlings were overjoyed. "Thank you, Big Brother.

Lv Zhi was both shocked and anxious, "I never thought that before I managed to find a husband, I would end up in the hands of these strong people."

This way, even if he couldn't see Liu Bang, Xiao He's overall plan would still be in vain.

Lv Zhi calmed down immediately, she stood up and bowed down, then smiled: "My respects to you all."

The bandit leading the group was Mountain Elf Xiao Hu of the "Long White Dual Fiend".

Ever since the day he failed to round up Three Jin Alliance Alliance Head Zhang Er and his foster brother, Wood Wolf, was killed by Zhang Er, National Officer Wei Liao no longer held any importance towards him and treated him coldly. Xiao Hu could not stay in the Hidden Martial Army any longer, so he simply bade farewell and wandered around here. Once a "cow" fell into his hands, all of their belongings would be plundered by them, and their brain would become Xiao Hu's big meal. This group of people could be said to be notorious for running amok.

When Xiao Hu saw that Lv Zhi was still able to laugh at that moment, he weirdly asked, "Why isn't this woman afraid? "Just listen to what she has to say." He then laughed obscenely, "This little beauty knows how to be polite. "Interesting!"

Lv Zhi laughed and asked: "Brothers, what are you doing in this business?" Xiao Hu rolled his eyes: Of course I'm asking for money. Lv Zhi scoffed, "So it's all for money, that's good." Xiao Hu asked: "What do you mean by that, little beauty?" Lv Zhi asked: "Do you all know who I am?" Xiao Hu asked: "Who are you?" Lv Zhi answered: "My father is Peixian's Uncle Lu Ping, and has a family property of ten thousand years. If you want to ask for money, as long as you let me go today, I will repay you with a large sum of money. "

One of them shouted, "What proof do you have?" Lv Zhi threw out a bag of broken silver and said: "This is a hundred taels of silver, I did not bring any more money with me today, this bag of silver will be my gift to everyone."

Xiao Hu picked up the silver and weighed it in his hand. Seeing that the woman was so generous, he started to believe her. Thinking that this was a big deal, he said, "In that case, why don't you give your father a keepsake and ask him to pay you five thousand silver taels to redeem you." Lv Zhi took a pearl hairpin from her head and passed it over, saying: "Send someone to find my father in Pei County after riding on my horse. I will write a letter and he will definitely give you the ransom."

Xiao Hu nodded: "Alright. It's just that you, little beauty, will be happy with me tonight. "

Lv Zhi chuckled: "Big Brother, didn't you say I was old? With silver, how can I be afraid of not finding a girl younger than me? "How about this, let me ask my father to give you an extra thousand silver as a reward for finding a lady. You all can spare me, what do you think of this?"

With a thousand taels of silver, it would be enough to find a hundred girls. Xiao Hu saw that the transaction was worth it, and said: "As you wish."

Thus, the group of experts carried Lv Zhi and followed the mountain road on the left of the third fork. After walking for two miles, they passed through a dense forest and arrived at a courtyard.

A dying lantern spat out a dim orange light that hung high above the beam of the door. Dozens of fierce-looking men were drinking wine and gambling in the courtyard. A giant mastiff was crawling around on its belly, looking for the leftover bones to lick. The entire villa looked eerie and terrifying, causing one to shudder in fear.

The pitiful Lv Zhi was thrown into an underground cell. Upon entering the room, a fishy stench assaulted her nostrils. Inside the cell were a few corpses lying on all fours. Their heads had been knocked out and their brains were running all over their faces. It was a horrible sight to look at.

The iron door creaked shut, and then there was the sound of a door being locked.

Lv Zhi laid on the cold floor, her heart filled with sorrow and sorrow. She did not know if her father could save him, and was even more worried that she would not be able to see her husband Liu Bang, then Xiao He would not be able to unleash her great plan.

The dim light from the door grew dimmer and dimmer, making it impossible for Lv Zhi to sleep.

Suddenly, a shout was heard coming from outside the door, "Who is it?" The crowd burst into a clamor of fighting.

After a few rounds, the fight outside the door had ended. The sound of locks being unlocked rang out, and the metal door was pushed open. A person walked in.

Lv Zhi looked at him and was both surprised and happy. It turned out to be the burly man she had seen on the hillside during the day.

The burly man with a longbow on his shoulder and a sword bag on his back walked in and said, "Sister, quickly follow me!"

Lv Zhi knew in her heart that the man who saved him had come, so she did not ask any further, standing up and following him out the door. She saw that the two guards at the door had each been struck in the chest and had fallen to the ground, seemingly dead.

Lv Zhi followed the big sized man to the center of the courtyard. Inside the courtyard were a whole floor full of corpses, around twenty to thirty of them. She couldn't help but secretly admire him. "This person alone defeated dozens of extremely vicious experts. He is not a person with exceptional courage or martial arts skills. How could he be like this?"

The big man brought out two horses and said, "Big sis, I've lured the bandit leader away. I'm afraid he'll be back soon. Let's go!" Only now did Lv Zhi understand, why was Xiao Hu not in the manor, it was because he was tricked by the big sized man to leave the mountain. Nodding his head, Duan Ling Tian pulled a horse's reins and walked out of the Manor. The two of them mounted their horses and, one in front and one behind, threw themselves onto the road.

After walking for a while, Lv Zhi suddenly walked forward and shouted, "Benefactor, where are you going?" The big man turned around and said, "Let's go to the town at the foot of the mountain. There are too many people there, so those bandits won't dare to chase us." Lv Zhi frowned: "No. We have to go back. " The big guy curiously asked, "Big sis, I finally managed to rescue you, so why are you going back?" Lv Zhi said: "I have urgent matters to attend to and will be meeting my husband. This path is wrong." The man then asked, "Who is your husband?" Lv Zhi answered: "My husband's name is Liu Bang."

The big sized man raised the reins of his horse, and stopped, then asked: "Are you Liu Bang, who was rebelling against the Mangdang Mountain?" Lv Zhi nodded: "That's right." The big man was moved. With a respectful look on his face, he cupped his hands and said, "So it's Madam Liu. I apologize for my disrespect. Since it was an emergency, it must be a big matter. Forget it, I, Zhou Bo, will sacrifice my life to accompany you, and send you back home. "

Only now did Lv Zhi know that the name of the man who saved him was Zhou Bo. She frowned, "Benefactor, aren't you afraid of those bandits?" Zhou Bo gave a long whistle, and said with emotion: "For the great matter of the son of the Scarlet Emperor, even if it's just a dragon lagoon or a tiger cave, you still have to challenge it."

Lv Zhi hesitated: "I am truly sorry for making Benefactor go out of danger for me again. I wonder if Benefactor is confident enough to defeat that bandit leader? " Zhou Bo laughed: "If you are unable to defeat me, I will fall into your hands again, are you afraid?" Lv Zhi shook her head: "If worst comes to worst, I'll just die, what's there to be afraid of? For my husband, I will not hesitate to break my bones. " Zhou Bo said: "Madam is a woman, so you are not afraid. Zhou Bo, you have nothing to be afraid of. "

Lv Zhi acknowledged and said: "Benefactor is righteous, this humble one will engrave it into my memory. Let's go back. "

Thus, Zhou Bo and Lv Zhi turned their horses around and rushed back to the Villa.

A cloud of dust rose from the ground as they bumped into more than ten bandits. Riding on the dark night, riding on horses with sharp blades in hand, they chased after Xiao Hu. The one leading them was Mountain Elf. The distance was less than a hundred steps.
