One by one they enter the room, the room is dark with only illuminated by a dimmed light from the window, the four men move slowly without make the sound they walk carefully not to hit anything than they hear snore from the bed although the sound is a bit weird for a woman but they have no time to think that.

The room is quite small so they can see the bed right away but because the darkness they only see black shapes, one of them accidentally hit the table and knocked the teacup on the table suddenly everyone froze, they look at the movement on the bed, fortunately, no movement from the person under the blanket so the four men sigh in relief.

​​

They slowly move again until they reach the edged of the bed, one of the men raised his cleaver they want to surprise the poor woman but suddenly from under the blanket a giant tiger roar at them and the four men scream in shocked in that moment Lory come out from her hiding and throw them hand size knife towards them.

Its happened so fast the four men didn't have time to dodge, the knife hit there uncritical point on there body but the intoxicating drug on the knife make them hazy and limp in the next second they all fall on the floor with 'Bang!' sounds.

Lory sigh while Shin Jiu and the little monkey got out from under the bed, who knows everything happened so quickly.

"Is it over…?" Shin Jiu asked.

"For now…" she replied, she only make them unconscious because she didn't feel necessary to kill them somehow they all look desperate.

Suddenly the door kicked open, Lory reflex is hiding the boy behind her and raised her dagger in front of her, the boy unconsciously clenched on Lory sleeve with fright.

"Thank goodness, you both alive!" the innkeeper grip on his butcher knife become loose he looks very relief but than he was shocked when he sees the four-man on the floor "Ar….are….they dead?" he stutters.

"No, just unconscious…"Lory said calmly, she didn't see malice in the innkeeper's eyes so she becomes laxer.

"That's good" He heaved in relief than he realizes something "Both of you hurry to leave this place!" he said in haste.

"What's wrong?" Lory sees the urgent on his face.

"I don't know who else come to kidnapped you're Brother?" said the innkeeper "Please hurry!" he waves his hand profusely.

"Mister, if they know you help us you're family will be in danger!" she worriedly said.

"I know but we didn't have anywhere to go and we don't have money everything we had is in this place" the innkeeper smiled bitterly "Don't worry about us, we will think of something!" he said again.

"Sister Luo we can't leave them…"Shin Jiu was touch by the innkeeper's selflessness and he also worries with them, Lory can be more agree they're's a high chance they would be killed or hurt because of them.

Lory gets behind the carriage she waves her hand and a pile of gold taels appears, she wrapped everything with cloth into a bundle, than she shoves the bundle into the innkeeper's hands "You leave this place, don't bother to take anything just leave!"

Lory push Shin Jiu to climb the carriage, the innkeeper and his wife exchanged glance when they peek inside the bundle they were utterly stunned, they never seen this much money in there life not even in there dream now he understands when the girl said don't bother to bring anything.

The tiger and the monkey were jumped inside the carriage when the innkeeper suddenly speak.

"They are not always like that you know, the men that try to kidnap you're Brother," he said with teary eyes "They used to be kind, honest and a hard worker men but after that Demon come, the governor...everything changed even them….they just hungry!" he choked on his tears.

"I understand….believe me, I do, but as you said, they had change…they might not the same men you used to know" Lory warn him, she afraid he will try to share his money with them but when someone overwhelms by greed they make done something you never think they could.

"Think about you're family, you help enough…" Lory warns him.

The innkeeper look at his frail wife and his daughter and his eyes become red, he nods firmly at his wife, he make a decision to save his family first, he looked at her with grateful "Thank you young miss…" the husband and wife smile with gratitude at Lory.

"STEADY!" she screams to the Qi Lin who amazingly understands and the horse run becomes more stable, she scream to the Qi Lin out of annoyance she didn't know the beast would understand her.

Lory crouch on the roof she watches the six men on the horse looking at her with shocking face, Lory simile mischievously she draws the bow in front of them the six men eyes bulged when she releases her arrow the six men dispersed to every direction but no one hit by the arrow.
