Chapter 85: Surrender]

If they really came here to kill them, then... the simplest, most brutal and easiest way is to... kill all the officials and prisoners!

In this way, their deaths can all be blamed on the bandits, and no one will be left alive.

If this is true, then what follows... will probably be a bloody storm.

But… she couldn't help but wonder. If he really wanted to kill them all, why didn't he have the intention to kill them with the arrow just now? He could have just shot a volley of arrows first, then appeared and killed all those who were still alive with a single strike!

Chen Fenghe still planned to remain silent and observe for the time being.

Chen Wu gripped his knife tightly, his brows furrowed. "It seems like you, the heroes, don't want to help me today?"

The bandit leader sneered, "It's impossible to make things easier for you. However, as long as you surrender, I can guarantee that I won't harm your lives. To live or die, it's your choice!"

Chen Wu also noticed something was wrong.

Logically speaking, bandits only rob money and only then kill people.

This group of bandits never mentioned anything about money since they showed up. It was obvious that they were after people!

Chen Wu said in a deep voice: "Who are you fighting for, my dear men? Who are you trying to rob? Why don't you speak frankly?"

The bandit leader sneered again after hearing this: "I advise you not to know the answers to these two questions. If you do, you'll die! It seems they refuse to surrender and want us to fight them head-on. Brothers, let's go and have some fun with them!"

As soon as the words fell, the bandits rushed towards the dozen or so officers as ordered.

Chen Wu winked at Yuan Xun and swung his sword to block the knife of a bandit who was rushing towards him.

Yuan Xun quickly rushed to Chen Fenghe, Qin Mengyue and the others and shouted, "Follow me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, several bandits rushed towards them!

Yuan Xun turned around and blocked the knife of one of the bandits. He couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he blocked it.

The opponent was actually stronger than him. He had to use all his strength to barely block the knife!

Yuan Xun tried his best to fight back, but the moment he looked into the eyes of the bandit, he suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart. Why did he feel that the bandit's eyebrows and eyes seemed... familiar?

However, before Yuan Xun could make a careful distinction, the opponent had already changed his tactics. He didn't have time to think about it and quickly concentrated on defending, thus putting the strange feeling behind him.

The other bandits ignored Yuan Xun and walked straight towards Chen Fenghe, Qin Mengyue and the others!

Qin Mengyue was trembling with fear, but she still bravely protected Xiao Yunhao.

Shen Fenghe, on the other hand, held Shen Yichuan and Shen Qingxing in his arms.

The three little ones were all frightened, with tears on their faces, but they were sensible enough to try their best to hold back their tears.

However, Qin Ziming, Qin Jiaojiao and other children from the Qin family cried very loudly.

Chen Fenghe held the revolver in one hand and held a few silver needles in the other hand, while secretly observing his surroundings.

She immediately discovered that, except for a small number of bandits who directly fought against the officers, the rest were responsible for controlling the criminals but did not kill them.

Moreover, these bandits are very skilled, even better than the police officers!

She made a quick decision in her mind and released the revolver in her hand, but she still kept the silver needle in her other hand ready to prevent herself from making a wrong judgment.

If they were to raise their knives to harm Qin Mengyue, the three little ones, and herself, the silver needles in her hand would be able to stop them immediately!

Fortunately, her judgment was correct. The three bandits just looked at her, Qin Mengyue and the three little ones coldly, and stood beside them to prevent them from escaping. They did not take any more extreme actions.

Soon, more than a dozen officers, including Yuan Xun and Chen Wu, were subdued and their hands were tied behind their backs with belts.

The exiled prisoners were so frightened that their cries and shouts became more and more frequent.

The bandit leader said impatiently, "Why are you crying? If you keep crying, I'll kill you all! Come on, bring them all back to the village and interrogate them slowly. If anyone has any banknotes on them, don't even think about hiding a single cent!"

The exiled prisoners, especially the Qin family, were terrified to the extreme after hearing this.

Both the first and second wives had a lot of banknotes hidden on them! What if they were plundered? They'd been so stingy along the way, not even willing to eat meat, and in the end, all that money would just go to the bandits?!

However, no matter how terrified and reluctant I was, there was nothing I could do for the time being.

The bandit leader ordered the bandits to take everyone towards the village on the mountain.

Shen Fenghe comforted Qin Mengyue with a few words, and took Shen Yichuan and the others with him as they walked towards the mountain.

Shen Qingxing was so frightened that her face turned pale. She couldn't help but ask secretly, "Sister, are we... going to die?"

Chen Fenghe patted her head and said softly, "Xing'er, don't worry. Sister will protect you well and won't let those bandits hurt you..."

Xiao Yunhao was also pale, with traces of tears on his face. He said like a little adult, "Xing'er, don't be afraid... I, I will also fight to protect you!"

Chen Fenghe: “…”

This guy is really good at flirting with girls. He's so young that he's almost scared silly, and he still has to protect other girls...

After Xiao Yunhao finished speaking, he realized that something seemed wrong and quickly added: "Mom, sister-in-law, I... I will also try my best to protect you..."

Chen Fenghe: “…”

Now I realize that something is wrong. You little brat, even your own mother is ranked behind?

Qin Mengyue didn't care about these things and said with satisfaction: "Hao'er is really sensible. You are still young. Mother and sister-in-law will protect you..."

They talked in low voices, and the bandits did not stop them. The fear in Qin Mengyue and the three little guys' hearts was slightly relieved.

The mountain road was difficult to walk on, and it took them more than an hour to reach the village hidden in the mountains. Along the way, Chen Fenghe was observing the terrain and secretly memorizing it in his mind.

The map that Lai Hu was forced to draw before was not fake, and they all matched one by one.

I just don't know if the location of the treasure is correct.

When they arrived at the village, the bandits locked up the officials and the exiled prisoners, and then began to take the exiled prisoners out one by one for body searches and interrogation.

The Qin family members were silent and began to blame each other.

"What should I do? If I had known that the money was the same as that bitch Shen Fenghe, I would have used it to buy a cart, some delicious food, and a room in an inn. It would have been better than having it plundered by these officials now..."

"How come these bandits are so arrogant that they even dare to rob officials!"

"What's the point of saying this now? What are we going to do with the money we have? Are we going to just let them take it away like this?"

"What else can we do? We can only hope they can't find it!"
