Destiny Phoenix

Chapter 139

The woman was stunned and froze.

Probably because Feng Qingyao's words surprised her too much, she forgot to ask Feng Qingyao how she found them coming in.

After being stunned for a long time, the face full of vicissitudes changed from sadness to deep helplessness, "What can I do if I don't do this? Look, how can there be any decent men in this village now? Years of fighting, young people have been sent to the battlefield .The rest, the old ones, the disabled ones, how can I entrust them for the rest of my life?"

Feng Qingyao frowned.

When she entered the village, she saw only old people and children passing by. She thought it was dinner time and people were staying at home, but she didn't expect that there was no one in the village.

"My lord," the woman paused for a moment, and continued: "Looking at your well-dressed clothes, you must be from a wealthy family, and there is no shortage of food for one person in your family. If you don't mind, then take Ruyu away."

Seeing that she didn't nod, the woman knelt down with a plop, "It doesn't matter if she is a concubine or a slave, as long as she has a place to stay."

"Mother—" Ruyu went to pull the woman, but was pushed away by the woman.

"Sister-in-law, why are you bothering?" Feng Qingyao was puzzled, although living at home was a bit difficult, it was better than leaving home.

"Young Master, I don't know. Ever since there was a shortage of men in the village, there have been more bandits. Thefts have often occurred in the village. This group of brutes not only steal things, but also rape women. Half a month ago, the village The daughter-in-law of the Dongtou family threw herself into the river after being ruined." As she spoke, the woman wiped away her tears.

"Mother, don't talk about it, the young master doesn't want to, let's go back." Ruyu didn't look at Feng Qingyao, trying to pull the woman up.

Feng Qingyao sighed, and stepped forward to help the woman, "Sister-in-law, get up first."

Seeing that her face was loose, the woman's eyes filled with surprise, "Master, you agree?"

Fearing that she would repent, the woman dragged Ruyu and knelt down, "Ruyu, come and see the young master. From today on, you are the young master's man, and you must obey the young master's orders in everything from now on, you understand?"

Ruyu knelt down obediently.

Feng Qingyao let out a long sigh, going to the western border, the situation is still unknown, how could it be possible to bring another oil bottle that doesn't even have the ability to protect itself?He couldn't bear to let the two of them kneel down, so he nodded to let them stand up first.

"The gangsters are rampant, and the government doesn't care?"

"I don't care, but I can't. As soon as the officers and soldiers came, the gangsters ran away, and when the officers and soldiers left, they came back again."

"How often do the gang come?"

"About half a month or so."

"Half a month?" She thought deeply, just now the woman said that they came here half a month ago, that is to say——

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes outside the door.

Feng Qingyao opened the door abruptly, only to see several masked men in black pulling her horse out in the darkness.The horse recognized his life, and pulled the rein hard to retreat, only to make a small sound of "click, click, click".

Seeing being discovered, the gangster didn't panic, and warned in a deep voice: "I don't want to die, go back to the room and stay!"

"Heh——" Feng Qingyao smiled slightly, hummed a single sound from the corner of her shiny lips, and took a few steps forward, "You stole my horse, but let me go back to my room instead, what's the reason?"

The phoenix eyes quickly swept around,
There were three gangsters in the yard, two on the roof, and six outside the door, a total of 11 people.

Once she started to fight, people from outside would definitely rush in to help, so she wasn't worried that she wouldn't be able to beat them, but with so many people, it was inevitable that they would hurt others.

A flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I remembered the team of officers and soldiers who stayed in the village last night.

There were also a dozen of them, and they happened to have a group fight.
