Su Muyao glanced at the broadswords on those people; some of the swords even still had dried bloodstains that hadn't been wiped off.

"Boss, with so many people, this trip down the mountain is definitely worth it."

One of the bandits had golden eyes and a greedy look on his face as he stared at the people in front of him.

The caravan ahead contained only a few people who regularly escorted goods.

The rest were all ordinary people who had never seen anything like this before.

Especially when you see the large knives hanging from the waists of these bandits.

His calves were trembling uncontrollably, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

They had barely entered the bandits' territory when they encountered this situation.

Some of them quietly hid their purses.

They were all secretly praying that the镖师 (bodyguards/escorts) could get rid of these bandits as soon as possible.

"That's definitely a good deal; the caravan must have a lot of stuff inside."

Besides, who doesn't carry some money when traveling? Haha.

The bandit leader was talking while his eyes were still sizing up the men.

They treated the caravan as if it weren't people, but rather goods worthy of their judgment, their cold and ruthless eyes sweeping over the group.

The caravan leader was sweating profusely. Seeing that the bandits were about to rob him without saying a word, he quickly stepped forward, bowed, and smiled apologetically.

"It's been a while since I've seen Boss Liu. I am Wang Daqiang from the Martial Arts Hall."

I had long heard of your great and extraordinary abilities, and it is truly an honor to meet you today.

Why trouble your brothers to do it themselves? This tribute money is just a matter of you saying the word and we'll offer it to you with both hands.

Our Wumen Hall has long ago given orders that if we encounter your silver, we must hand it over with both hands.

"I know the rules, boss. You wait here for me. I'll go collect the money from the men and bring it to you as a token of my respect."

After Wang Daqiang, the leader, finished speaking.

Before the bandit leader could speak, he quickly called to the brothers next to him and whispered a few words to them.

The group started moving.

"Those who want to go there pay 20 taels of silver each, and they'll be quicker."

Don't make me say it a second time, or we won't be responsible if this little guy doesn't make it through and his life is in danger.

Although every household was trembling and almost unable to stand, they still didn't want to spend any money.

After all, 20 taels of silver is not a small amount, and many of them are just ordinary people.

Even if it's better, it's only slightly better than those villagers.

Once you take those 20 taels of silver, you'll basically have nothing left.

But when they looked up, the fierce-looking bandits lowered their heads.

The leader was right; if you want to save your life, you still have to pay the money.

So, one by one, they eventually took out their money and handed it over.

After the people below brought all the money over, there was a thick stack of banknotes and a considerable amount of silver.

Wang Daqiang respectfully presented it with both hands.

"Brother Liu, this is all the money I've given you as a token of my respect. Please accept it."

The henchmen next to Boss Liu were extremely rude and snatched the money away.

In front of everyone, he stuffed it into his fanny pack.

Then, with an arrogant air, he pointed to a family in the group and said, "Leave all their belongings behind, and you can leave."

The family that was accused was immediately shocked.

The person hurrying ahead had bloodshot eyes.

He immediately knelt down and wailed, "Please, good man, don't take our family's things! These are the possessions of our whole family!"

All our belongings are here. How about I add another 50 taels of silver?

Please spare our family. If you take everything, please leave us alone.

My entire family is doomed; this is practically sending us to our deaths!

The main reason is that they were delivering this goods to someone else.

They've already collected the deposit; if the goods are lost, how much compensation will they have to pay?

When the bandit leader saw the man kneeling and begging them, he not only showed no sympathy but also frowned.

"Stop talking nonsense. Do you understand the rules here? If not, then I'll teach you the rules today."

Immediately afterwards, one of the bandits came up and kicked the person kneeling on the ground.

He kicked the person in front of him, sending them flying two meters away. The person then lay on the ground, spitting out blood.

A woman in the group suddenly ran to the side of the man who had been kicked away.

"Husband, are you alright?"

The woman picked up the person and kept wiping the blood from their mouth with a handkerchief.

The air seemed to freeze, and everyone trembled as they watched the scene before them.

Even after the bandit leader had taken all of the family's goods, he was still not satisfied!

"You people in this group don't know what's good for you. In that case, leave everything behind."

Immediately afterwards, the bandits pointed to all their goods and began to move them.

Everyone knelt on the ground and prayed.

But the bandits were unaffected in the slightest. Some people who tried to stop them from moving their goods had their throats slit by the bandits' broadswords.

Upon seeing this, General Lin rushed forward with his knife in hand.

Only then did the bandit leader notice a large, unidentified iron lump behind him.

There were also three boys and a small girl.

"Stop it, all of you! In broad daylight, bandits are running rampant and they're even treating human life like dirt."

I am General Lin, personally appointed by the Emperor. If you dare to act so recklessly, don't blame me for being impolite.

The bandit leader laughed out loud as he watched the young man running towards him.

"You're just a kid who hasn't even grown a beard yet, how dare you spout such nonsense?"

Haven't you heard the saying, "Two hands can't fight four fists"?

"Brothers, get him together and teach him a lesson for messing with us!"

The bandit leader listened to the boy in front of him say that he was General Lin, and saw that there were only two men and a child behind him.

The two men were protecting the baby, so she must be a young lady from a wealthy family.

Su Muyao watched as these bandits, each wielding a large knife, moved closer to the young general.

Without further hesitation, he quickly pulled out a gun from his spatial storage and ran over.

Su Laosan and the guard followed closely behind.

Su Laosan was genuinely worried that his youngest daughter would get hurt, even though he knew she was strong.

But these bandits in front of us all carry broadswords, and swords have no eyes.

If this hurts my little girl, I might as well not live either.

General Lin, who was originally ready to fight to the death, saw the young princess running over and quickly protected her.

"Move aside," Su Muyao pushed the young general who was blocking her way.

He then raised his gun and started firing at the bandits.

A shocking scene unfolded: the little girl was holding something enormous.

As soon as the device made its sound, the bandits in front of them fell to the ground one by one.

This terrified the people around them; everyone trembled and crouched on the ground, some seeking cover.

The young general and the guard stared wide-eyed, only now realizing the power of the young princess.

When the bandits behind saw that their leader had been killed, they hurriedly ran back.

Su Laosan originally wanted to step forward and stop his youngest daughter from doing this, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.

These people in front of me are addicted to killing.

If we release these bandits, countless more people will suffer in the future.
