Chapter 18 Accidental Help
There were about a dozen people who appeared very quickly, and their clothes were the same as those of the bandits she met last time. Shen Qingzi looked calm, and to her, these few people were not scary.Moreover, according to Shen Chaohua, the bodyguard of the Shen family next to him is the best in the Shen family, so he should be able to hold on for a while, and if there is time, Ji Wuye's people can also arrive. If you don't expose yourself like that, unless... She glanced at the others, hoping that she wouldn't be allowed to choose this ending!

Cuihe panicked, as a maid, she hid behind Shen Qingzi, her face pale with panic.Seeing this, Shen Bo scolded: "Cuihe, don't protect the eldest lady!" And he himself stood on the other side of Shen Qingzi.

The dozen or so rogues came on horseback, and the front row was still holding bows and arrows, all of them had expressions of disdain on their faces, their role was to eliminate everyone present.

"Miss, don't worry, this subordinate will swear to protect the lady to the death!" The guards of the Shen family are bloody, and they are on strict guard at the moment, standing in the forefront.

"Eldest...Eldest Miss..." Cui He was scolded by Uncle Shen and stopped in front of Shen Qingzi, she was so unwilling in every possible way, she was so scared that she couldn't even speak clearly!

"Go!" A group of rogues also moved at this moment, they got off their horses, and attacked Shen Qingzi and his party with knives.At the same time, several people immediately drew bows and arrows.

Neither Shen Bo nor Cuihe knew martial arts, and the guard was the only one resisting the bandits, and soon, they were dispersed.Shen Qingzi retreated step by step, because the opponent had a bow and arrow, so she used the tree trunk to cover her.

"Ah!" Suddenly, hearing Cuihe's scream, Shen Qingzi took a look, her heart sank, Cuihe was shot in the center of the mouth, and she was killed immediately.Still thinking about doing it himself as a last resort, it seems that they didn't want Cuihe to survive!

Shen Qingzi lifted her skirt and ran into the woods, she was the target of these people, at this moment, she also attracted several people to chase after her.

At this time, Ji Ruzhang was not far away. Hearing the shout of swords and swords, he was surprised. Thinking of meeting Shen Qingzi just now, he felt a little worried, so he followed the sound and walked out.Coincidentally, he saw the scene of Shen Qingzi fleeing for his life. At that moment, Ji Ruzhang jumped up and stopped the person who wanted to kill Shen Qingzi. "Miss Shen, are you alright!" Ji Ruzhang knocked him back with one blow, and stopped Shen Qingzi in front of him, protecting Shen Qingzi behind him.

What a coincidence, Ji Ruzhang's appearance was not in her plan. She originally wanted to lure people into the forest to take advantage of the opportunity, but it seemed that she didn't need it! "Master Ji, they are rogues!" Shen Qingzi pretended to be terrified.

This is not a rogue, but Ji Ruzhang knows it in his heart, the expressions on the faces of these people are different from those of the rogues who steal money and kill people, these people are for killing people! "Don't worry, I'm here!" Ji Ruzhang said, since he met him, he couldn't ignore it.

Shen Qingzi just looked at Ji Ruzhang, don't worry, I'm here, these words fell into her ears, and hit the deepest part of her heart, he also said this to himself before.He also said that when Dad went to war, no one played with her, and when she fell down and cried.

A Ji Ruzhang came out halfway, which was out of plan. Several rogues glanced at each other, but they still didn't give up, as if they had made a decision.At that moment, two people attacked Ji Ruzhang, while the other was looking for an opportunity to attack Shen Qingzi. As long as Shen Qingzi died, they could leave!

Ji Ruzhang had seen the other party's intentions, but there was nothing he could do. His skills were not bad, but the other party was not mediocre either. Shen Qingzi retreated step by step, and was annoyed that Ji Ruzhang was here, how could she make a move!

Seeing the knife slashing at her, the silver needle was already pinched in her hand, and Shen Qingzi's heart ached.To shoot or not to shoot?
But all of a sudden, the person who was attacking him let out a muffled grunt, and then fell to the ground with a plop, with a handle of a knife with all the blades on his back.At the same time, the two who fought with Ji Ruzhang were also attacked by surprise, and they were more or less injured.

Shen Qingzi's heart sank, and the silver needle in her hand was put away, so she would not be exposed!
Ji Ruzhang obviously had the upper hand, and seeing that they couldn't kill Shen Qingzi anyway, the two retreated.

Seeing this, Shen Qingzi said, "Master Ji, my maid Cuihe has died, but there are still guards and servants at home, I don't know what is going on with them now!"

Ji Ruzhang knew that someone had made a move in the dark. He looked around, but there was no one in sight. Seeing that Shen Qingzi's hair was messed up while running, and her expression was a little flustered, he said, "I'll accompany you to find it!"

With a grateful look, Shen Qingzi walked towards the place where she had been separated before, but in the end she also found that, except for Cuihe who died, the others were only injured!

Shen Bo's arm was cut with a knife, bleeding a lot, his face was pale, seeing that Shen Qingzi was fine, his expression improved a bit, and he thanked Ji Ruzhang again and again.The bodyguard of the Shen family was more seriously injured, but his life was not in danger. On the ground was the corpse of the rogue. Shen Qingzi roughly counted them. Almost all the people who came were dead. I don't know where the two people who escaped just now ended up. how!
The carriage was destroyed, Uncle Shen and the guards were both injured, Shen Qingzi was in a bit of a dilemma, how to return to the city like this?

After Ji Ruzhang saw the blood-stained corpse, he subconsciously glanced at Shen Qingzi. She had a sad look on her face, but she was no longer flustered! "This place is not far from the official road, let me find a carriage for you!" Ji Ruzhang said, she, Shen Qingzi, has not been back to Shen's house for long, who is going to lay such a poisonous hand on her?And who is that person who is helping in the dark?

"Let's go, Mr. Ji, please stay here to protect the eldest lady. If the thief persists, there will be someone to take care of me!" Shen Bo said.

"Uncle Shen, is your injury really all right?" Shen Qingzi asked a little worried.

"Miss, don't worry, you can hold on!" Shen Bo replied, and went out of the woods to look for a carriage.

Ji Ruzhang helped the guards of the Shen family to sit down, and asked, "Did you kill these people?" He doubted this group of people were quite skilled.

Sure enough, the bodyguard of the Shen family shook his head and said: "I don't have that ability, I resisted for a while, and when I couldn't hold on, a man in black appeared, and he dealt with him in a few strokes. high!"

Who is it that secretly saves people?Unexpectedly, Ji Ruzhang just glanced at Shen Qingzi, and saw her looking in the direction of the official way with a cold expression.She is really courageous, and she can still remain calm in such a situation.

Soon, Uncle Shen came back and said that he had found the carriage. "Master Ji, can you please escort our young miss home, if we meet another villain..."

"No problem!" Ji Ruzhang replied briskly, he just snapped his fingers, and after a while, he heard the sound of the horse pedaling, it was his mount coming.

Shen Bo and the guard supported each other, Shen Qingzi followed behind them, Ji Ruzhang led the horse and walked beside Shen Qingzi, and they left the forest together.

On the side of the official road, there was a carriage parked, only one driver saw no one else.

Ji Ruzhang felt something was wrong, so he stepped forward and asked Shen Bo, "Why is there only a coachman?" The carriage seemed to be waiting early in the morning.

"Oh, originally there was a master who wanted to enter the city. I heard that the eldest lady of Dingguohou's Mansion wanted to borrow a carriage, so she rode into the city with the others first!" Shen Bo explained.

It's too much of a coincidence!Ji Ruzhang thought about the attack just now, the helper who shot secretly, and the carriage, but there was only the driver, who looked like an ordinary middle-aged man. Could it be that he was thinking too much?

As far as the current situation is concerned, he only got into the carriage, Shen Bo and the guards avoided suspicion and did not enter the carriage, they just sat in front of the carriage, the coachman waved the whip, and the horse started to walk.Ji Ruzhang got on his horse and followed the carriage, and as he entered the city, his vigilance dropped!

Ji Ruzhang sent Shen Qingzi and the others directly to the Shen family. Seeing that Uncle Shen and the guards were both injured, the Shen family was shocked and rushed to report to the master.

"Master Ji, it's fortunate to have you this time. Qingzi will always remember Mr. Ji's great kindness and virtue!" Shen Qingzi sincerely thanked Ji Ruzhang. Thank you.

Ji Ruzhang shook his head and said: "No matter who it is, under such circumstances, they will make a move. Miss, go back to the house first, and if Zhang has something to do, I will leave first!" After he finished speaking, he turned around and rode away.

Shen Qingzi didn't look much, that is to say, she went back to Shen's house and only took a few steps when she saw Shen Chaohua rushing over.

"Qingzi, are you injured?" Shen Chaohua asked nervously as soon as he saw Shen Qingzi, his face was full of worry.

Shen Qingzi shook her head, but she said in shock: "Father, my daughter is fine, it's just that Uncle Shen and the guards have worked hard, but Cuihe... Cuihe was killed by the gangster!"

"It's fine, it's fine!" Shen Chaohua was greatly relieved, as for a maid, how could he take it seriously.

"Chuyang, very good, this time you have done a great job in rescuing the eldest lady, and I will definitely reward you!" Chuyang was the guard, and Shen Chaohua comforted him when he saw the injuries on his body.

"Reporting to the master, it was Mr. Ji who came to the rescue, otherwise, the subordinates would have returned without a life!" Chu Yang said.

"Master Ji?" Shen Chaohua didn't recover for a while.

"It's Mr. Ji from the Yushi family!" Shen Bo added from the side.

Shen Chaohua was a little surprised, it was such a coincidence, but no matter what, it was best that his daughter was fine. "Okay, Chuyang, Uncle Shen, you all go down to rest first, come and invite the best doctor in the capital."

After all, Shen Qingzi was a bit embarrassed after going through this, with a sad look on her face, and she was accompanied by Shen Chaohua back to the Izumo Pavilion.
