When the bandits saw that Qi Dafu, who was with them, believed it, they instantly fell into extreme panic. The double wailing sounds from outside and inside were like a mountain pressing on everyone's heart.

Some bandits ran away in panic, some stood there at a loss, and some asked Jiang Huaixu, "What is the medicine in the medicinal bath?"

The bandits who had not noticed this before stopped and looked at Jiang Huaixu.

"Medicinal herbs are common, but your boss and second in command fell ill so quickly. Can you really gather enough herbs to save so many people in such a short time?"

The bandit who still held onto hope suddenly looked as pale as death and collapsed to the ground.

The wailing of the second in command outside the lobby gradually faded away, and the painful groans of the first in command in the room also gradually weakened.

One of the bandits suddenly raised his weapon and looked at Jiang Huaixu and the other three with a twisted and ferocious look. "We're all going to die anyway, so it won't be a wasted trip if we drag you down with us before we die!"

This sentence reminded the bandits that the madness was brought by the person in front of them.

Their eyes were instantly filled with murderous intent as they looked at Jiang Huaixu and the other two, and they clenched their swords.

Jiang Huaixu was not afraid at all when he saw this, and shouted: "We have the antidote!"

The bandits who had lost their minds chose the simplest and most brutal method - killing the refugees and seizing the medicinal materials.

"Who knows if you're lying to us?"

"Give me your life!"

Someone rushed up to the three men, raising a knife to chop them, but Jiang Erlang, who was blocking Jiang Huaixu, shot an arrow in the heart.

Blood spilled onto the hall. Jiang Erlang's cold gaze swept over the bandits in front of him. "Your boss hasn't even done this. Why do you think you can kill us and take the medicinal herbs?"

The bandits, whose thoughts were exposed, slowly stopped their actions after hearing this. With the facts before them, they had to re-evaluate the strength of both sides.

At this time, Yun Qi suddenly spoke up, "I advise everyone, time waits for no one, let's run up the mountain first, and then discuss who to distribute the herbs to after running."

"What's the meaning?"

"Is there not enough medicinal materials?"

Jiang Huaixu and Yun Qi's eyes met, and they understood the meaning of his words.

The bandits were arguing non-stop, and Jiang Huaixu spoke up at the right time: "We did stockpile quite a bit of medicinal herbs when we passed through Yaozhou City earlier, but we've used up most of them along the way. Now we only have enough for about twenty people. Who lives and who dies is not something we can decide. I'll trouble you all to make the decision."

Many hesitant bandits immediately ran out of the hall, throwing their swords on the ground.

Some of the bandits stood where they were, clenching their knives tightly, their faces gloomy and uncertain.

Soon, only five people were left in the lobby.

Jiang Huaixu looked at the thin man from before. This man had not spoken since he questioned him, and people even ignored his existence.

"Big brother, don't you want medicinal herbs?" Jiang Huaixu asked him with concern.

The thin man said: "I know a little bit about medicine."

Just one sentence, no more.

Jiang Huaixu was not embarrassed to show off his sword in front of Guan Gong. "Big brother, you have a special skill, why do you associate with the bandits?"

The thin man lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Jiang Huaixu just asked casually and didn't care whether he answered or not.

Jiang Erlang, who went to check on the boss, said to them, "He has fainted and we can't find out the cause."

His gaze finally swept over Jiang Huaixu, and he found the answer in Jiang Huaixu's calm eyes.

At this moment, a shrill roar suddenly came from outside the lobby.

Jiang Huaixu and the other two looked at each other and immediately walked out of the lobby to check the situation.

Outside the gate of the mountain stronghold, a bandit was pulling a knife out of his companion's back. The whole person looked like a devil crawling out of the lowest level of hell, twisted into a terrifying appearance.

"Is this your purpose?" Yun Qi asked behind Jiang Huaixu.

Before going up the mountain, no one expected that they would be discovered. If Jiang Huaixu had not considered all the emergencies in advance, it would be truly admirable that he could come up with such quick wit in such a short period of time.

Jiang Huaixu didn't look back. "They are all extremely evil people who have committed countless evil deeds. They will die if they fall into our hands. What's wrong with killing each other? Why dirty other people's hands?"

The tone was extremely cold.

Jiang Erlang sighed inwardly and said calmly, "It's their own choice. No one else can be blamed."

Yun Qi kept silent and said no more.

Back in the lobby again, Qi Dafu had gradually recovered from his daze. Seeing Jiang Huaixu, he hugged Jiang Huaixu's legs and said, "Girl, save me, save me, I don't want to die—"

Fu Tuan walked past him with a cat-like gait and patted him with his paw. The world suddenly became quiet.

Jiang Huaixu picked up Fu Tuan from the ground and held him in his arms, "I won't let you die before you meet your parents."

"Then..." Qi Dafu covered his buzzing head, "Should I go to the mountains too?"

"I'll give you a few injections later, get out of here."

Pushing Qi Dafu aside, Jiang Huaixu found a seat and sat down leisurely.

At the foot of the mountain, the entrance to the path leading to Yangwei Village was guarded by the Lian family guards.

Although no bandits appeared, the villagers still did not dare to relax. The elderly, the weak, women and children in the middle were surrounded tightly, and the adults with bows and arrows on the periphery remained vigilant. Even the boy scouts kept patrolling the surroundings with their round eyes open, and no matter how the women persuaded them, they were still holding back their energy and refused to rest.

Before leaving, Sister Xu said that they were shrinking their formation in order to protect their relatives in the middle.

They can protect their families too! Hehe.

They don’t feel tired at all when they think of this!

After waiting for a long time, the villagers who were on high alert finally saw the figures of people hidden by the trees on the mountain path. Those who were sitting on the ground to rest immediately stood up vigilantly and held their weapons tightly.

"ah--"

"Are you crazy?!"

"I don't want to kill you, I just want to survive!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another scream.

The villagers were confused. How could it be like a fight had already started when they hadn't even taken a move?

The guards who retreated dozens of steps after hearing the noise could see clearly that the killers and the killed were dressed similarly. It seemed that the people in the village were fighting internally, and the fight was very fierce. In just a short while, they had seen three people killed.

They accidentally made eye contact with a bandit not far from the valley. The bandit, who had just killed someone, looked at them as if he had seen a plague. He was so scared that he ran up without even stuttering.

The winding mountain road seemed like a smooth road under their feet.

The guards looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.
