《The Glory After Rebirth》C35. Help!

"Now! Hand over all your valuable things! Or…" the leader of the bandits threatened with a ferocious smile, pointing a sharp blade at Guard Wang.
"Including this carriage and horses." The bandits were so greedy that they didn’t even plan to pass the carriage and horses.
Although Guard Wang and the others were all with grim faces, there was no panic in their eyes. The bandits were rampant in the area around Tanyang, so they had seen this a lot. But what they didn't expect was that bandits dared to blatantly rob on the road near the capital. More importantly, they were outnumbered.
It was not far from the Liantang Town. So it wouldn’t take them long to get there even if they gave the carriage and horses to these bandits. But were these bandits so simple to get rid of?
"Butler, what should we do?" Stone was so nervous that his hands began to sweat. He even dared not to breathe.
The butler turned a dark face. He took the envelope out of the bag and stuffed it into his bosom through collar, then repackaged the bag and carried it on his shoulder. "We may have to run for our lives, you should carry your bag on your shoulder well."
"What are you waiting! Do you want to try the power of my big knife? Open the curtain first and let me see who is sitting in the carriage!" The bandits outside were already shouting impatiently.
Guard Wang leaned close to the window of the carriage and whispered to the people inside, "There are dozens of bandits holding weapons in their hands. And it seems that they are quite experienced. We are no match for them. Uncle Li, you and Stone should come down first, and we will clear a path for you. You should run forward along this road and don't stop. We will follow up later!"

"Okay, young man, you should be careful!" the butler said.
Then the butler lifted the curtain of the carriage and got off with Stone.
Those bandits saw two men coming down the carriage and suddenly showed a disappointing look. "Pooh! How can it be two men, really bad luck!"
"Dear Masters, do us a favor please. We will give you both the money and the carriage. Let us go, please." The butler bent down slightly as he pleaded.
"Cut the crap! Hand in all your bags! If you guys dillydally anymore, we will kill you right away," the bandits threatened.
The butler tipped a wink to Guard Wang. He pretended to hand the parcel to the bandits and walked towards them with Stone.
The bandits all began to be very complacent when they found that this man behaved so clever. They looked disdainfully at the butler and the other people with malice.
“Hurry up!”
The butler and Stone approached the bandits gradually. Just as the bandits were getting carried away, Guard Wang and the other three guards suddenly rushed at them from behind the butler and Stone.
Lao Liu, the coachman, with a long stick in his hand, followed the guards and ran quickly to the butler and Stone, shouting as he passed the two, "Run!"
Guard Wang and the other three guards attacked suddenly while the bandits were unprepared. They deliberately stabbed the horse's ass with their knives. The horses, out of pain, rushed at the bandits with a long cry at the moment of being stung.
Guard Wang and the other guards really cleared a way for them to escape. The butler grabbed Stone and hurried away
"Don't let them go!"
"What the fuck! Kill them!"
The bandits kept cursing. At the moment a man pulled the cheval-de-frise up and tripped the horse to the ground. Stone was stumbled unexpectedly, too. He unconsciously grasped the butler tighter, which brought the butler down to the ground too. Seeing this, Guard Wang and the other guards couldn't help crying out in their heart. The chance to escape was missed for a brief moment. The butler and Stone tried to get up and rush out again, but there was no chance for that.

The only one who took the chance to escape was Lao Liu, who was holding a stick in his hand and running as fast as he could without even looking back. There were two bandits trying to catch up with him, but they failed and returned back disappointed.
"Nowhere for you guys to run! Kill them all!" The leader of the bandits looked at them combatively with an angry face.
Although Guard Wang and the others rushed to the butler and Stone immediately, Stone was still cut on the shoulder in the confusion.
The four of them were outnumbered, not to mention protecting two people who didn’t know Kung Fu.
The situation at that moment was getting worse.
Just when they were getting desperate, a group of people rushed out from the other side of the mountain path. Never had they expected that there would be another living soul traveling in such a terrible weather. They heard the tramp of hooves, rapid but orderly.
There must be a lot of people coming.
Guard Wang and the others looked back in surprise.
In the growing rain, a team of horses rushed from the other side of the road. The men on the horse were all dressed in gray and black suits, looking very imposing.
Thank You for Saving Our Lives

Through Mist, Veil, and Summer
Anna Lawrence is a quiet girl who'd rather sit and write poetry than bustle about with her peers. After an incident resulting in a panic attack and a trip to the hospital, Anna's foster mother sends her to stay with her aunt and uncle for the summer. Upon arriving in the small mountain town of Glenwood, Anna finds herself caught in the machinations of another world on the other side of the fog: warring witches, animal-headed skypirates, and the boldest, bravest, most interesting girl Anna has ever met. THROUGH MIST, VEIL, AND SUMMER is my homage to Studio Ghibli films. It's a fantasy romance with a dash of adventure and a sprinkling of self-contemplation. It's a story that moves a little slower, a little quieter. It is my fourth novel, written between October 1, 2017 and January 6, 2019.

Additionally, given how this is essentially a story version of a Tabletop game there is also a background RPG system that while the characters aren't necessarily aware of, the readers can see these stats to know how each chosen 'Action' effects their character's development.
