Hearing this, Leng Yu shook his head and shouted angrily:

"If that's the case, why did you become a bandit? Why did you do things like robbing and killing people?"

Boss Liu paused for a moment, then hurriedly waved his hands and said:

"Don't get me wrong. Although I'm a bandit, I don't bully the poor. I took this job because the price they offered was high. We don't know them, and we don't know you either. I originally planned to retire to the mountains for a while after this job."

"But you're killing people. What if the person you were told to kill wasn't us? What if you actually succeeded? Then you'd be a murderer. If you killed the enemy, it would be considered a benefit to the people, which is commendable. But you killed innocent people. How dare you say you haven't done anything evil?"

Leng Yu's words made Boss Liu lower his head, and the other bandits also scratched their heads and looked at each other.

Someone among them murmured quietly,

"Bandits like us can never get rid of our bandit label no matter where we go. Even when we go into battle to kill the enemy, the people will run away when they see us."

"That's right. Who wants to be a bandit? Isn't it because they are forced into a desperate situation?"

"We also want to fight in the battlefield, but we need someone to use us."

“…”

Listening to these people's muttering, Boss Liu suddenly looked up at Leng Yu, clasped his fists solemnly and said:

"Prince Yu, I heard you're now a great general protecting the nation. How about this: you let us follow you and let us do anything. As long as we have food to eat, we've had enough of this life of living on the edge of a knife."

Leng Yu thought for a while, frowned and looked at the ground, then raised his head and said solemnly:

"It's a good thing to be able to turn from evil to good. How about this, I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself for your crimes. You stay put on Wolf Head Mountain for now. I'll come find you after I finish dealing with things here. But remember, if someone comes looking for you again, you must first find a way to hold them off. I'll tell you what to do later."

Hearing this, Boss Liu scratched his head in confusion and then asked:

"The person who hired us to kill you will surely come back again. What should we say?"

Leng Yu's eyes flashed a few times, then he raised his eyebrows and said:

"Tell them, if they failed to kill him on their way there, they can kill him again when they come back..."

Although his words were simple, Boss Liu seemed to understand some of them.

After thinking for a while, he clasped his fists and said:

"Thank you, Prince Yu, for your trust. We will do as you say. We are homeless and jobless, so just having a place to eat would be a great help to us. We will not let Prince Yu down and will work hard to not bring shame to you."

Leng Yu frowned and waved at them:

"Go ahead. I have something else to do. If you have any news, send someone to Quancheng to find me."

"I understand, Your Majesty, please rest assured."

Leng Yu waved at them and said:

"You guys should go back before anyone notices what's going on."

After receiving the order, Liu Lao Da and others hurried back to the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, Ah Cai and Ah Hong knelt down in front of Luo Lan and Leng Yu with pale faces, repeatedly admitting their mistakes.

"Prince, Princess, we have caused you trouble. Please punish us."

Leng Yu looked at the two people kneeling on the ground and whispered to Luo Lan:

"Your girl, handle it yourself, I'll wait for you over there."

After he finished speaking, he chuckled at her and turned away.

Luo Lan looked at the two people kneeling on the ground. They looked a little embarrassed.

She pursed her lips, stepped forward to help them up, looked at their dirty faces, and said distressedly:

"Why are you so stupid? Didn't we tell you to go back to Prince Yu's Mansion to get the silver and then go out to make a living? Why are you still following us all the way?"

Ah Cai, who was quick-witted, answered first:

"We have said long ago that in life we ​​are the princess's people and in death we are her ghosts. Since you don't want to see us, then we will secretly watch you. We are wrong again this time and have caused trouble for you and the prince. Please don't be angry. We will never dare to do it again."

Ah Hong lowered her head and bit her lip while saying:

"We didn't expect to be caught by these bandits. Fortunately, the prince was kind to the bandits. Otherwise, if the prince and princess were injured because of us, we would be the evil ones and our death would not be a pity."

"Don't die, damn it."

Luo Lan raised his hand, wiped the corners of their eyes, and said unhappily:

"I'm not used to you guys not being around these past few days. Well, let's just forget about the past. No one should mention it anymore. Come back!"

Ah Cai and Ah Hong seemed to be stunned for a moment as if they didn't understand what she said, then they looked up at her together and asked timidly:

"Princess, what did you just say?"

Luo Lan looked at their pitiful appearance and nodded heavily:

"I say, it's good that you admit your mistakes and can correct them. Come back. Next time, think more before you act and don't do things you shouldn't do."

Hearing this, Ah Cai and Ah Hong both knelt on the ground. Ah Cai even raised her right hand and swore:

"Don't worry, Princess. Ah Cai has learned a lesson these past few days. What the Princess warned Ah Cai about before was correct. Ah Cai admires the Duke, and it's definitely not a romantic relationship. Ah Cai was wrong. From now on, Ah Cai won't dare look at the Duke any more. Ah Cai knows what she should and shouldn't do, and that matter will remain in Ah Cai's stomach."

Seeing that she was so sincere, Luo Lan pursed his lips and nodded heavily.

"Okay, let's keep that matter between the three of us."

After saying this, she turned around to look at Leng Yu who was standing in the wind waiting for her, and said:
