Chapter 17: Conquest



"We're just a small village, how dare we capture the prince or his grandson? Is there some misunderstanding here?"

Heifengzhai raised the hammer in his hand with a smile on his lips, and the scar on his face was particularly glaring.

"Okay, I'll ask my brothers."

The leader of the Black Wind Village called his brothers over, put the big hammer on his shoulder, and said nonchalantly: "Prince Jin said we should capture his child. Did you capture him?"

"No, how could we dare to do that?" The brother next to him laughed arrogantly.

"Do you have any?"

“No…hahaha!”

The King of Jin signaled to the personal guard beside him, who quickly drew his sword and swung his knife.

Several bandits from Heifengzhai who didn't react in time were killed on the spot.

The village chief's smile suddenly stopped. "Your Highness Prince Jin, what do you mean by this? You killed my people in front of me."

"Brothers, the prince killed our people, so we have to teach him a lesson!"

He knocked the hammer, and countless people rushed out of the stronghold.

"Your Highness, you only have so few people. Don't let them die here. It would be a disgrace to the royal family if they were killed by bandits." He raised the hammer to take the sword of King Jin and teased.

"Your Highness, please don't be so stubborn. I advise you to surrender. We have hundreds of people in our stronghold, and you are not someone you can handle. I don't want to hurt you, or the court will be against us."

What a bastard prince! He doesn't know how to appreciate my kindness!

They have set up their stronghold for several years and have robbed many officials, even royal relatives. Why would they be afraid of him, a poor prince who was demoted to the border?

But this is also a good thing. Once we capture the King of Jin, we can negotiate with the court and extort some money from him.

King Jin leaped up and kicked his big iron hammer. The village chief staggered back and quickly took the sword that was swinging at him.

This prince is really capable!

The village chief knocked the hammer to steady his steps and punched again, but the King of Jin just dodged and did not fight him head-on.

"Your Highness Prince Jin can't even protect a child, yet he comes alone to our Black Wind Village to ask for people. It seems that the situation is really hopeless." The village chief said jokingly.

His moves were aggressive and powerful, but not flexible and he easily exhausted his energy.

The King of Jin discovered this and kept defending until the opponent was exhausted, then he attacked quickly, quickly and fiercely.

When the village chief swung his hammer, King Jin dodged, his sword quickly slashed across his back, and he kicked him suddenly.

The leader of the Black Wind Village lunged forward, fell to the ground, then gritted his teeth and stood up again.

After that, the leader of Black Wind Village could no longer withstand the offensive of King Jin and could only defend himself and did not dare to attack.

"We captured a lot of children in our village. I don't know which one belongs to the King of Jin. They might have been cooked and eaten by the brothers. Youzhou is close to Qingzhou, and the soldiers have looted everything they have. Those who don't have food can only eat the younger ones."

The village chief could only bite the bullet and take on King Jin's attack, continuing to provoke him.

The leader of Black Wind Village wanted to take the opportunity to find the weakness of Prince Jin.

However, although Prince Jin looked gentle and elegant, his sword was actually as fast as a shadow, forcing the leader of the Black Wind Village to retreat step by step.

Damn it!

The King of Jin looked so thin and had such thin arms and legs, but he didn't expect him to be so difficult to deal with. It seemed that he had underestimated the King of Jin.

Just when everyone was fighting fiercely.

"Bang!" There was a loud noise in the village, and a house was engulfed in flames.

"It's bad, village chief. There's a fire in the back mountain."

A small bandit rushed out of the village, "They brought a group of people with them and broke into the village from the back."

"Swish!" Just when the leader of the Black Wind Village lost consciousness, King Jin stabbed his arm with a sword, kicked him down with one foot, and pointed the sword at his neck.

The village chief's face turned pale and he looked at the brothers around him in horror. Some of his brothers died, some were captured. The people who came behind him all surrendered when they saw that he, the village chief, was captured.

"How did you know the location of the back mountain?" The village chief came to his senses at this moment, opened his eyes wide, breathed deeply, his chest trembled, and a feeling of fear arose spontaneously.

The entrance to the back mountain is very hidden and easy to defend but difficult to attack. Unless someone is very familiar with the location of the stronghold and knows everything about the stronghold, he can avoid the brothers' inspection.

And these are things that a prince who just came from Qingzhou could not know.

Unless there is a spy in the stronghold!

The village chief suddenly realized what was going on and said with gritted teeth, "No wonder the prince only brought more than twenty people with him. It turns out he came well prepared." And he fell into the trap set by the Prince of Jin.

Damn it, which bastard betrayed the copycat?

Prince Jin gave a signal to Chongying and ordered his men to arrest all the people in the Black Wind Stronghold.

In the main hall of the village, Prince Jin stood at the head, and most of the children in the village were brought over.

Ying Yi's expression was solemn, "Your Majesty, there is no prince."

Prince Jin's breathing was a little unstable. He walked down and looked at the children one by one.

"Where are the people?" He drew the sword in his hand and put it on the village chief's neck.

"Your Highness, I have to say that I really did not kidnap His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Prince Jin said coldly, "Then what letter did you send yesterday?"

"Believe? No..."

The village chief suddenly thought of something and shut his mouth instantly, not daring to say anything.

"Speak!" King Jin saw the clue and stabbed the sword into the village chief's shoulder, and blood flowed down.

"If you don't tell me, I'll have my people chop off your flesh piece by piece and feed it to the dogs."

"I tell you, I tell you!"

The village chief trembled and said, "The boy was captured by Red Pants. He was so cunning that he lied to us that he was a merchant's son."

"He ran away before we could catch him. We don't know where he went. If you don't believe me, ask Red Pants."

The man in red shorts was pushed forward and knelt on the ground trembling.
