Upon arriving at Qing County, Qin Bu noticed that something was amiss. The city gates were tightly shut, and there wasn't a single passerby in sight. If there wasn't an issue within the city, then Qing County must be facing some threat that forced Qin Bu's friend to close the gates for safety. Mao Yuli expressed concern and advised Qin Bu to leave the area, but Qin Bu wanted to find out what was going on.
Without mentioning his friendship with his companions, Qin Bu could not stand by idly when it came to the citizens in the city. After comforting Mao Yuli, Qin Bu took his men and rode towards Qing County. Since the area was unsafe, Qin Liangwan and Mao Yuli continued to move forward. However, they had not gone far when someone in the group noticed something was amiss.
On the road ahead of Qin Liangwan, there are many hoof prints, indicating that the size of the approaching group is not small. But if they are cavalry, why are they not taking the official road and instead choosing this remote and difficult path? Just as Qin Liangwan is feeling doubtful, several people who look like bandits launch an attack on the the Qin family group.
During the period, the horse was startled, causing the carriage to overturn. Mao Yuli was injured, and if Qin Liangwan had not gotten off the carriage early due to suspicious traces on the road ahead, there might have been one more injured person besides Qin Liangwan.
However, the situation quickly ended, as several attackers were killed by Cui Danlian's martial maids and the people sent by Lu Ruojiang.
Qin Liangwan also determined from the topographic map given to her by Liu Wu the place where they would temporarily avoid trouble.
Ordered to throw all the luggage that was delaying the journey, and after everyone got on the horse and carriage, Qin Liangwan said to Liu Wu, "Send a message to Ruojiang and ask him to come support us as soon as possible."
Liu Wu nodded, "Yes."
When Lu Ruojiang received the message from Liu Wu, they had just stopped to rest, but as soon as they laid out the blankets, they received this terrible news.
When Qin Liangwan was in danger, Lu Ruojiang's heart suddenly tightened. Without caring about the things that had just been arranged, Lu Ruojiang immediately ordered everyone to mount their horses and hurry to meet the bandits before they reached Qin Liangwan. Additionally, Lu Ruojiang was worried that their group might not be enough, so he sent Cong Nan to nearby military garrisons to request reinforcements.
Liangwan, please wait for me. On the way to catch up, Lu Ruojiang tightly pursed his lips and prayed in his heart.

Qin Liangwan decided to counterattack and avoid disaster at a hunting lodge. After arriving at the hunting lodge, she didn't have time to be afraid. She quickly ordered people to cut bamboo to set traps in case those people really came back.
Cui Danlian's martial maid Aling asked, "Ms., are these traps really useful?"
Qin Liangwan felt uncertain in her heart, but she could only respond calmly, "They are useful. Even if they cannot stop the thieves' advance, they can inflict losses on them and buy us some time."
Aling felt a bit more reassured and solemnly declared, "If the thieves truly attack, Aling will certainly vow to protect Ms. with her life!"
"Don't talk about dying! Not a single one of us is allowed to die; we must all go home together." Qin Liangwan said firmly. "Besides, Liu Wu's message has already been sent out, and Ruojiang will definitely come to rescue us in time."
Aling smiled slightly. "Mm."
The general trusted them, which is why he entrusted Ms. safety to them. Initially, they aimed to protect Ms. out of respect for the general, but now Aling genuinely wanted Qin Liangwan to survive, even if it meant sacrificing her own life.
Unaware of what Aling was thinking, Qin Liangwan gazed into the distance, hoping that Lu Ruojiang would appear in her line of sight at any moment. However, Qin Liangwan also knew that this was impossible; he still had quite a distance to cover. She could only hope that he would arrive soon and that their side had not suffered too many casualties.
