I get stronger every day I live.

Chapter 26 Moving
The next day.

After resting for a night in the farmyard, Mo Ruyan's condition improved a lot.

After bidding farewell to the couple in the farmyard, everyone set off north again.

The beautiful woman looked around, returned to the courtyard and closed the door.

At this moment, the bald man, who was as burly as an iron tower, walked out and stood behind the beautiful woman. He said in a rough voice, "We can't stay here any longer. We need to move somewhere else."

"Why do you want to leave?" The beautiful woman was shocked and puzzled when she heard this.

"Those people were covered in blood, clearly having fought a bloody battle before coming here. It's almost certain they were being hunted. They didn't take the official road, but a small path. They were all from the Wuwang Mansion. The people in the carriage seemed to be of prominent status, but they didn't enter the city to rest, but instead came to us. I suspect the people chasing them might be the local government, so they had no choice but to stop here to rest."

Listening to the bald man's analysis, the beautiful woman's expression changed slightly.

Obviously she had realized something, and their peaceful life had been disrupted by the arrival of so many people.

"If we hadn't taken them in overnight, wouldn't we have avoided all this trouble?"

The bald man put his arm around the beautiful woman's waist, a hint of tenderness on his iron-blooded face. He said helplessly, "It's useless. Now that they're here, there's no way to hide. Even if we didn't take them in last night, if someone follows their trail and finds us, we'll inevitably be involved. When you're in the underworld, many things are inevitable. The best plan now is to move and find somewhere else to settle down."

Although the beautiful woman was reluctant, she knew that what the other party said was right.

Even if they didn't take them in, others would find out about them sooner or later.

Given their sensitive identities, it is not appropriate for them to deal with officers and soldiers.

They have always been indifferent to worldly affairs and would avoid officers and soldiers whenever possible.

"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have to live a life of hiding." The beautiful woman said with sadness in her tone.

"Don't say these words anymore. Marrying you is the greatest blessing in my life." The bald man shook his head and blurted out firmly, "Okay, let's pack up and get ready to leave."

"Yes." The beautiful woman nodded obediently.

Afterwards, they both packed up their things.

Mainly some gold, silver and other valuables.

If you are traveling in the world, you can't take a single step without money.

Suddenly, the bald man's expression froze. He keenly noticed that many people had come outside the courtyard.

Bang bang bang…

The gate of the courtyard was knocked roughly.

The rapid sound was more like banging on the door than knocking.

"Open the door! Open the door!"

The beautiful woman heard the noise and hurried over to open the door, shouting as she trotted, "I'm coming, I'm coming! Stop knocking! Are you trying to kill me?"

The beautiful woman removed the bolt and opened the gate of the courtyard. Suddenly, she saw a group of soldiers appear outside, all holding swords and with ferocious looks on their faces.

Seeing this, the beautiful woman's face changed, and her pretty face turned pale with fear, but she still forced a smile: "My dear officials, what wind has blown you here today?" The leader looked up and down at the beautiful woman in front of him who still had charm, and there was a hint of surprise and greed in his eyes.

I didn’t expect that there would be such a wonderful person in this remote place.

"We are doing our utmost to apprehend the traitors' accomplices. Have you seen anyone passing through here? Where were they going? Tell the truth. If you conceal anything, or fail to report it, you will be punished with the same crime!"

"My wife and I have lived here for many years, oblivious to worldly affairs, and have never done anything inappropriate. As for the rebels the official mentioned, I don't know anything about them, but a group of people did stay with us last night, and they gave me five taels of silver as a reward."

"Where did they go?" the leading officer asked sternly.

"How would I know? They left early in the morning and left nothing behind. I dare not say anything, nor do I dare to ask. We are ordinary people who have always lived an honest and upright life. If you have nothing else to say, please return."

The beautiful woman felt uncomfortable under the fiery and greedy gazes of the officers and soldiers. She couldn't help but shrink her body and immediately mustered up the courage to order them to leave.

"We suspect you are trying to shield the rebels and provide them with easy access. Let us go in and conduct a thorough search."

However, the beautiful woman's words did not make the ferocious officers and soldiers retreat. Instead, they looked eager to try.

"My lords, no, no! Please be merciful and let us live." The beautiful woman begged bitterly.

Once she lets these bandit-like soldiers into the house, there won't be anything valuable left in their house. Wouldn't that force them into a dead end?
"We are ordered to fight the bandits. It would be fine if you didn't cooperate with us, but you actually dared to stop us. Could you be an accomplice of those rebels? Come on, arrest her for me."

Faced with the beautiful woman's pleading, the captain of the army without hesitation labeled her an accomplice of the rebels and ordered his men to arrest her.

Looking at the other person's graceful figure, his heart was burning with excitement. He thought of having someone send her to his room and interrogate her thoroughly after he returned.

However, what he didn't know was that it was this action of his that completely destroyed the only way for all of them to survive.

Two officers and soldiers stepped forward and tried to capture the beautiful woman. Just as they saw those two pairs of dirty hands were about to fall on her delicate body, a kitchen knife suddenly flew out from the courtyard and accurately cut the throats of the two officers and soldiers who were intending to attack the beautiful woman.

There are experts!
In an instant, the officers and soldiers' faces changed drastically, and they all looked towards the courtyard.

The bald man had a ferocious face, and his burly body stood there like a mountain. The surging blood and energy in his body kept overflowing. With every step he took, the ground under his feet sank slightly, giving people a terrifying feeling of oppression.

"Touch her and you will die." The bald man said coldly.

"How dare you! Harboring accomplices of the rebels, resisting arrest, and then killing officers and soldiers! These crimes are unforgivable!"

At this moment, the leading officer and soldier captain had not yet realized the seriousness of the situation and shouted sternly, "Humph, the laws of the dynasty do not tolerate provocations by scoundrels. Don't think you can ignore us just because you have some skills. This thief is vicious. Attack him! Whoever kills him will be rewarded with 100 coins and a merit."

Upon hearing that there was a reward, the officers and soldiers took out their shiny knives and rushed to chop at the bald man. No one wanted to miss the opportunity to make a contribution.

The next moment, a terrifying air wave burst out from the bald man's body and swept across, instantly knocking all the officers and soldiers away. They fell to the ground and vomited blood.

After just one encounter, they were seriously injured.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the bald man stepped forward and protected his wife behind him, with a domineering aura emanating from his body.

Seeing this scene, everyone looked horrified and frightened.

"Martial arts master?!"
