Another bandit was still a little frightened. "Didn't they say the woman we captured was an orphan? Logically, there shouldn't be such a big fuss, right? Could it be that we've captured the wrong person, a truly powerful noble lady?"

If she were the daughter of an ordinary family, she really wouldn't have the ability to mobilize the imperial guards to search the entire city so quickly. She must be a top noble.

"What's the point of saying this now?! We've already caught her, and she's seen our faces. There's no way she'll get away. We just need to bury her as soon as possible and sneak out of the city at daybreak. It will take at least three days for the Imperial Guards to dig up the body, and by then we'll be out of the city."

"But……"

"But that's a bullshit but! Why would you do this if you don't have the guts? No matter which noble lady she is, she can't even speak once she's dead!"

The bandits drove the carriage at a very fast speed, bypassing the imperial guards who were conducting a search, and headed for a remote cliff outside the capital.

The bandit also set off a signal firework to signal other bandits to gather in the mountains.

"Hey, why hasn't Wang Mazi spoken for so long? Is he taking a nap?" a fat-headed bandit suddenly asked.

"What the hell, he's taking a nap. How can he sleep with two beautiful girls in there? I think he's probably having sex in there."

"Wang Mazi?"

He called out, but no one answered.

The two bandits started cursing: "You bastard, how dare you steal food? I haven't even had any!"

They certainly didn't think that the horse bandit was already dead. After all, the two frail ladies were knocked unconscious and would not wake up for at least an hour. They could be pinched to death with just two fingers.

The horse bandit pulled the reins angrily to stop the carriage, kicked the door open, and rushed in.

But when he entered, he saw only this narrow carriage with Wang Mazi's body lying upright.

The horse bandit opened his eyes wide in shock, and before he could react, a handful of medicine powder was suddenly sprinkled on his face.

Xie Xiuzhu and Xu Wanruo hid in the dark corners near the car door. The horse bandit who broke in was only attracted by Wang Mazi's body and did not notice them at all.

"Ah!" He was caught off guard and was splashed in the face. He covered his eyes and screamed in pain. Wanruo took advantage of the situation and kicked him off the carriage.

The horse bandit covered his eyes in pain and fell off the car, screaming in agony, without even seeing clearly who had attacked him.

The other fat-headed bandit was terrified: "What, what's going on?"

Wanruo shouted in the car: "Help..."

The fat-headed bandit immediately thought that there were kidnappers who wanted to rob each other, so he rushed into the car and saw the body of the murdered Wang Mazi, and Xie Xiuzhu, who was huddled beside the body with a pale face, shaking and crying.

"Who killed him?!" The fat-headed bandit questioned Xie Xiuzhu angrily.

Xie Xiuzhu was terrified, shaking her head desperately, her face filled with fear. "He, he died suddenly."

The fat-headed bandit immediately squatted down to check Wang Mazi's body, but he didn't notice that someone behind him had raised a dagger.

He raised his knife and stabbed it into his neck like killing a fish.

"Ah..." Before he could even scream, he fell stiffly, his eyes fixed on the girl holding the knife in front of him. A few drops of blood splashed on her fair cheek, and her captivating eyes were cold and without any warmth.

He couldn't believe it until his death, that he died at the hands of a weak woman.

Xie Xiuzhu held her head in fear, but her whole body still couldn't stop shaking.

"Throw the body down quickly. There are still quite a few of them. I'm afraid they will catch up with us in a while." Wanruo calmly threw away the knife.

"good……"

The desire to survive finally outweighed her fear, and Xie Xiuzhu immediately helped throw the two bodies out of the car.

But just as the body was thrown out of the car, the sound of horse hooves could be heard faintly in the distance.

Xie Xiuzhu looked at her hopefully: "Are the officials here?"

Wan Ruo's expression turned much uglier: "No, this place is too remote. It's impossible for the police to search here so quickly. Most likely they are accomplices."

Xie Xiuzhu froze immediately, her face pale: "Then, what should we do..."

Wanruo grabbed the reins, whipped the horse whip hard, and drove the carriage up the mountain. The road down the mountain was blocked by the horse bandits, so they had no choice but to go up.

Xie Xiuzhu sat at the car door, clutching Wanruo's sleeve. Only then did she feel safe and wiped the tears from her face. "How dare you kill someone?"
