Previously, Qin Liangwan had instructed people to place their valuables by the roadside. If these thieves were after money, they would naturally back off upon seeing those possessions. However, if that wasn't the case, then Qin Liangwan and the others would have to face a fierce battle.
Once all preparations were complete, Qin Liangwan stood atop the hunting lodge, his expression grave, and the ominous feeling in his heart grew stronger.
Suddenly, the ground trembled, and a group of fierce-looking bandits riding horses came into view.
The bad premonition had come true. Qin Liangwan felt a sense of calmness, as if the dust had settled. At least now she knew who their enemy was, rather than being consumed by the endless waiting and the fear of the unknown that had already diminished their morale.
"Aling, inform everyone that I will give the signal to release them. It must not be a moment too early or a moment of hesitation."
"Yes!"
Qin Liangwan gazed at the distant horse team, her heart pounding, but her mind was not in the least bit confused, maintaining a calm and composed demeanor.
Lu Ruojiang Seeing the scattered wealth on the roadside without any passive traces, my heart sank instantly.
"We're not far from the hunting lodge, let's speed up."
"Yes!"
Lu Ruojiang thought about the recent undercurrents in the court and placed suspicion on the Crown Prince. The father and son of the Crown Prince have never been completely honest. They even hinted to father Lu about wanting to conspire together for a major event. Of course, at that time, they spoke extremely ambiguously, and father Lu didn't understand at first, only figuring it out later.
Without substantial evidence, Father Lu found it difficult to inform the Emperor and could only secretly advise Lu Ruojiang to keep a distance from those in the Crown Prince's residence.
Moreover, Qin Liangwan had previously mentioned that Lin Buxun had asked her to obtain the geomantic map of the Land of Shu, which made Lu Ruojiang understand something.
The Emperor was nearby on an inspection tour, and coincidentally, bandits had appeared in the area. If the Emperor were to inadvertently fall into the hands of those thieves, leading to his disappearance or assassination, only a few individuals would benefit from it.
"The Crown Prince." A guard pulled Lu Ruojiang back from his thoughts, pointing to the hoofprints on the ground. "They don't look like those of ordinary bandits."
Lu Ruojiang's expression darkened. "No matter what it is, we must ensure the safety of Liangwan and Madam Qin."
"I understand."

Hunter.
Qin Liangwan The traps set by people have been used up, but only a few of the opponents have been damaged.
Upon seeing the other party's brief panic, and quickly restoring order under the leader's reprimand, Qin Liangwan became even more certain that this group of people was not simple. She couldn't help but think of Lu Ruojiang, but the next moment she closed her eyes, forcing herself not to think about it. She could only rely on herself now. Qin Liangwan spoke harshly, but did not scare those people at all.
The leader rode forward and swung the whip at Qin Liangwan. On the other side, Aling pushed Qin Liangwan aside and used her sword to deflect the whip. However, unexpectedly, the thief changed targets and swung the whip to ensnare Aling's waist.
The man yanked Aling down from the upper floor and immediately placed her on the horse, turning the horse around to prepare for a retreat.
"Aling!" Qin Liangwan shouted, but could only watch as the other party took Aling further away. Just when Qin Liangwan was in despair, a sharp arrow shot through the air, piercing the man's chest.
The remaining thieves, who had just mounted their horses and were unable to catch up, were also struck down by the sudden arrows that took their lives.
Qin Liangwan's eyes brightened again as she looked in the direction from which the arrow had come, and she indeed saw that familiar figure.
"Lu Ruojiang!" Qin Liangwan shouted with a voice choked with tears. "Hurry and save Aling!"
Lu Ruojiang signaled to the guard beside him to bring Aling back, then rode his horse toward the hunting lodge.
