Five days have passed since they left the capital. Along the way, they stayed at inns whenever they found a suitable place to stay, and camped in tents when there was no place to stay.

Today we'll be passing through a place called Jiufengzhai. I heard about it yesterday in town; there's a stronghold nearby where bandits are rampant. If you encounter a caravan like that, you'll probably have to give up half of your goods before you can leave.

Everyone was quiet along the way, and Zhou Tianqi had already prepared his large knife.

After eating so much, it's time to show off a bit, so everyone won't look at him like he's a glutton every time they see him eating.

He needed to let people know that he wasn't just sitting idly by, and that if those bandits appeared, he would rush at them immediately.

The reason why Jiufeng Village is called this is said to be because there are nine mountain peaks connected together in this area, and a group of bandits made their home here.

These nine hilltops were all designated as bandit territory, with various caves leading to unknown destinations, making them easy to defend and difficult to attack, and government troops could not catch them at all.

Moreover, these bandits are said to be ruthless. Except for those who resist fiercely or are extremely evil, honest people can survive as long as they listen to their demands and do as they are told.

"Stop! This mountain is mine, this tree is mine to pick... I'll go!"

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Don't hit me! Uh..."

The poor little rascal blocking the road has been dominating this road for so many years. Every time he finishes saying those few words in a majestic manner, everyone is terrified and their hands and feet go weak.

They obediently handed over the gifts and left with gratitude!

On this ordinary day, he began to read as usual, but before he could finish speaking, a tall and imposing man jumped down from the other side.

He strode over without saying a word and thrust a large knife straight at me.

That's not martial ethics! I haven't even finished reciting my lines yet!

Zhou Tianqi's move not only startled the opponent, but also his own side.

According to the rules, it's a back-and-forth exchange, with each person taking turns speaking.

As it turns out, this person doesn't follow the rules at all.

"Oh no! Murder! Someone's trying to cause trouble!"

One of the henchmen was the first to react, shouting as he ran into the mountains to find the boss!

Zhou Tianqi turned around, and everyone stood still.

Chu Tianling glanced at the unlucky guy on the ground and got out of the car.

"Your Highness, should we chase after them? Or should we run now?" Zhou Tianqi still wanted to chase after them.

Shen Jiaojiao also got out of the car and walked over to look at the mountains in front of her: "Let's wait here. That person should go back and inform them that someone should be coming soon. Let's also take a good look at who this chieftain is."

They had just entered the territory of the first mountain when, before long, a dense sound of footsteps approached.

"I'd like to see which lazy bum dares to challenge my Nine Winds Stronghold!"

A rough voice came from afar, loud and clear, indicating that the person was not someone to be trifled with.

Zhou Tianqi stood at the very front, staring straight in the direction from which the sound came.

Soon, a plump woman, about 1.3 meters tall, rode up on a tall horse, followed by a group of ordinary-looking men.

Judging from the woman's position, this person must hold a high position.

This fat, short woman, known as Third Sister, is the leader of Nine Winds Village.

She glared at the people opposite her, surveying their faces. She roared, "Who killed Wu Dagou? Step forward!"

Zhou Tianqi guessed that Wu Dagou was probably the unlucky guy he had just killed.

He looked at the little fleshy ball on the horse with utter disdain, thinking that this little girl was nothing to him.

"Stop talking nonsense, just start fighting!"

Following the sound, San Niang looked over and found a strong and imposing man with a gleam in his eyes.

This person looks strong, healthy, and very energetic!

Her previously loud voice softened, and her attitude became more friendly: "How may I address this brave warrior? I am San Niang!"

Zhou Tianqi didn't want to argue with her. He was a simple man; as long as he was well-fed and watered by the Crown Prince, he was content and never thought about anything else.

He's just thinking about finishing quickly so he doesn't get in the way or ramble on.

They're all in cahoots anyway, so let's just do it.

Zhou Tianqi raised his knife and rushed forward, severing the leg of the horse that Third Sister was riding with a single stroke.

The horse neighed and collapsed in grief, enraging Third Sister.

This horse has been with her for many years, how dare this scoundrel lay a hand on it!

Before Shen Jiaojiao could even start a conversation, Zhou Tianqi got right to it, leaving Shen Jiaojiao momentarily stunned.

Chu Tianling had no choice but to quickly give the order: "Go!"

After falling, San Niang tumbled to her feet and glared fiercely at Zhou Tianqi, as if he were her enemy.

Once off the horse, she suddenly became much shorter. Holding a red-tasseled spear, she thrust it at Zhou Tianqi.

Zhou Tianqi was naturally strong, but when he faced San Niang, he was like a child. He grabbed the gun with one hand and pulled San Niang into his arms.

Zhou Tianqi grabbed her by the back of her collar and yelled, "You fat bastard! Get out of my way!"

Enraged, Third Sister grabbed Zhou Tianqi's chest muscles and bit down hard.

"Ah!!!" Zhou Tianqi roared in pain!

That wicked woman, she bit me to death.

He grabbed the person with his large hand, intending to throw her away, but San Niang bit him hard and quickly slid down.

Then a giant monkey stole a peach, grabbing it and twisting it hard.

"Ah!!! You wicked woman!" Zhou Tianqi roared in pain.

His hand holding the knife trembled as he slashed at Third Sister.

Third Sister was quite cunning; after pinching him, she crawled under Tianqi's crotch and quickly ran away on her nimble short legs.

Poor Zhou Tianqi, despite his brute strength, was badly hurt by San Niang's slaps and blows, and his face turned pale as he covered the spot with one hand.

The brothers around him trembled. They had been fighting fiercely, but now they squeezed their legs together, afraid that the other side would pull this move.

Wang Dazhuang, who was not far away, also saw what San Niang had done and his eyes lit up. This opened the door to a new world for him!

Normally, it's hard to mess with your own brothers, but this time it's an enemy, so you can go all out.

Da Zhuang became excited and shouted at Tian Qi, "Brother Tian Qi, don't worry, I've avenged you!"

As soon as he spoke, the brothers trembled again, and their dead memories began to resurface. They seemed to recall the shameful experience of applying medicine to everyone in the cave!

Wang Dazhuang gave the man he was fighting with a wicked smile: "Hehehe, your boss attacked my brother first, so don't blame me this time!"

"What...what are you going to do?"

Hehehe

"Ahhhhh!" The other person clutched their lower body and collapsed in pain.

Wang Dazhuang's ferocious laughter echoed through the forest: "Hehehe! Don't worry, I'm coming!"

"Ahhhhh!"

"Don't come any closer!"

"Help!"

"That's perverted!"
