After riding for about five minutes, Xu Ran passed by a forest when he suddenly heard panicked screams and the sound of swords clashing.
As soon as he glanced around, he saw a group of men holding long knives not far away from him, besieging two carriages. With the knives in hand, the guards of the carriages fell in a pool of blood.
Several men reached out to drag the woman beside the carriage.
"Let go of my daughter"
An old man in his sixties or seventies roared at several people: "I will fight with you."
Then he struggled and headed in the direction of the man, but his trembling body was too old and weak for these strong people.
"screw you"
A man kicked the old man's body. The old man groaned and fell to the ground.
"Quick, save the lady quickly"
Although the old man fell, he did not forget to give orders to the few remaining guards.
The poor guards were no match for this group of people. They were seriously injured in three or two blows. The swords pierced their hearts, and they fell in a pool of blood with each blow.
"Hahaha, take these two little ladies and take them to the mountain to be their wives." A man who looked like the leader of a robber laughed and said.
The two women were weak, so they were no match for these men. Their wrists were pinched, their faces turned pale, and their eyes were filled with fear.
One of the men was a little anxious and directly pressed one of the women on the carriage. He was so anxious that he tried to take off her clothes.
"Let me go." The woman was so frightened that she burst into tears, full of helplessness.
"The second boss is mighty"
A group of men around him were cheering, their eyes full of envy.
These two women belong to the first and second heads of the family. They have no share and can only swallow their saliva secretly.
"Haha, if the second boss is like this, I can't be at a disadvantage." The leading man pulled the woman beside him and began to take off her clothes regardless of her resistance.
"The boss is mighty"
People around started making noises.
Xu Ran, who was twenty meters away from them, felt helpless. This group of men was probably the so-called ancient gangsters. There were gangsters in both ancient and modern times.
Xu Ran was speechless for a while. He didn't want to care about this kind of thing, but he saw the two women struggling helplessly and the old man on the ground crying.
Xu Ran couldn't stand how the ancient hooligans bullied the weak, so they rode past them. When they were more than ten meters away, the group of ancient hooligans noticed Xu Ran and rushed towards them on horseback.
He quickly jumped away in panic.
If you are hit by a horse running at high speed, you will be seriously injured even if you don't die. After getting out of the way, they immediately surround you and slash the horse's body with the long knife in your hand.
The sudden change caused the first and second masters to give up on their women and pick up the weapons next to them.
Xu Ran turned over and dismounted, and kicked the man in front of him. The latter's body flew out with a bang, and a long knife was stabbed diagonally next to him.
Xu Ran used his inner strength to cover his hands and directly borrowed the knife with his bare hands.
When the man saw Xu Ran greeting the sharp weapon with a body of flesh and blood, a ruthless look appeared in his eyes, as if he had already seen the scene of blood splattering.
"Be careful, benefactor"
The two women exclaimed.
Xu Ran's arrival gave them hope in despair, but now they saw Xu Ran taking the sword with his bare hands, and they all exclaimed.
The ancient hooligans around looked at Xu Ran as if they were looking at fools.
Xu Ran's hand firmly grasped the sharp blade, but there was no blood splattering as expected. The gangsters around him widened their eyes.
Even the two women next to them covered their mouths and looked at the scene in front of them in shock.
Everyone only saw Xu Ran's hand holding the sharp blade unscathed, but they did not see that Xu Ran's hand and the blade were not closely together.
Xu Ran's palm was covered with a layer of internal force, blocking the contact between the palm and the blade.
When the man in front of him was shocked, Xu Ran kicked him in the head. The latter howled miserably and fell straight to the ground.
"Monster, monster"
The remaining gangsters looked at Xu Ran with fearful expressions.
In their entire lives, they have never seen anyone who is invulnerable. Even sharp knives are unscathed. They are not monsters.
"Go, go quickly"
The two masters were so frightened that they lost their souls and led the remaining men to flee quickly.
"Thank you so much for your help. I am very grateful." At this time, the old man in his sixties or seventies came over, clasped his hands and said gratefully.
"You're welcome, old sir" Xu Ran waved his hand.
"I don't know the name of my benefactor," the old man asked.
"Junior Xu Ran"
The old man said: "My surname is Lu, and I am known as Lu Gong."
Xu Ran looked at the old man with some surprise. This was actually Lu Gong, Liu Bang's father-in-law. It was said that he had the skill of fortune-telling. Liu Bang was just a pavilion chief in Surabaya, with no money or power, and was a low-level person.
Lu Gong was very good at fortune-telling and thought that although Liu Bang was ordinary now, there were some people who were rich and noble, so he married his daughter Lu Fei to Liu Bang without hesitation.
And this was the case. Later Liu Bang established the first Han Dynasty and became the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
Suddenly, Xu Ran discovered something was wrong. In the original work, Lu Gong came to Pei County to avoid his enemies, but it was Yi Xiaochuan who came to help.
Unexpectedly, he came here and accidentally snatched Yi Xiaochuan's heroic rescue.
Then, Xu Ran glanced at the two girls who were still in shock. Both girls had beautiful faces, eyes like water, full of light, and their bodies exuded a gentle and peaceful aura.
The two girls have exquisite facial features, one is slightly mature and curvy, and the other, although young, has bright eyes and white teeth, and is also a rare beauty.
Lu Gong noticed that Xu Ran was staring at his two daughters intently, with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes.
"Pheasant, Su'er, why are you two so stunned? Why don't you come and pay homage to your benefactor?" Lu Gong said to the two girls who were still beside the carriage.
"oh oh"
The two girls came back to their senses and walked over with lotus steps.
"Little girl pays homage to my benefactor." The two women thanked Xu Ran at the same time and looked at Xu Ran curiously.
"Ahem, benefactor, these two are my daughters." Lu Gong introduced Xu Ran, pointing to the slightly more mature girl and said: "This is my eldest daughter, Pheasant, whose surname is Lu and whose name is Pheasant."
Then he pointed at the slightly young girl and said: "This is my second daughter Su'er, whose surname is Lu Mingsu."
"I've met the two ladies," Xu Ran said with a smile.
Beautiful women always make people feel happy.
"Where are you going, my benefactor?" Lu Gong asked.
"I'm going to Pei County," Xu Ran said.
Lu Gong said happily: "The old man and his two daughters are also heading to Peixian County, and they happened to be on the way."
The eyes of the two girls next to him also lit up.
"Then let's go together," Xu Ran said.
Lu Gong said: "This place is still more than ten miles away from Peixian County. It is said that there are many bandits nearby. If my benefactor and Lao Chen are together, Lao Cai will feel more at ease."
