Chapter 82: Bandits are rampant and forcibly rob women
It's not easy to travel after dark.
The Deng family army found a place by the river and set up camp for the night.
Deng Youning and others, who were only a few hundred meters away from them, also stopped the car and rested on the spot.
Xiu Ming and Ying Shi picked up some branches in the woods, piled them into a fire, and the four of them sat around it.
The fire crackled, and the wild forest was a little cool in the autumn night.
Li Tianzhuo took off his thin cloak and put it on Deng Youning.
Xiu Ming didn't care and just lay down on the ground with his arms and legs spread out, snoring loudly.
Ying Shi leaned against the nearest tree and gradually closed her eyes to rest.
Li Tianzhuo could only keep watch himself.
At about three o'clock in the morning, a thick fog suddenly rose in the woods. In the fog, it seemed that a group of people carrying a wedding sedan passed by.
They did not beat gongs or drums, and there was not just one wedding sedan but a series of them.
He roughly counted and found that there were seven or eight sedan chairs!
There was only the sedan chair but no groom, which was very strange.
He wanted to go over and check it out, but the three people around him were all asleep. He was afraid they would be in danger if he left, so he suppressed his curiosity.
This was the first time he encountered a man getting married in the middle of the night!
In the early morning, the fog in the forest dissipated, and the sun rose in the distance, covering the entire mountain range like nine immortals.
Deng's army was in a hurry to travel, so they packed up and set off as soon as daybreak.
Li Tianzhuo heard the noise and woke up the sleeping people and followed Deng's army.
As soon as they entered Bianyang, Li Tianzhuo and Deng Youning both realized that someone was following them in secret, but the person did not show much hostility towards them and it seemed that he was only trying to gather information.
Xiu Ming and Ying Shi, who were driving the carriage, naturally sensed it as well.
"grown ups."
Xiu Ming lifted a corner of the door curtain and exchanged glances with Li Tianzhuo.
After getting Li Tianzhuo's consent, he got off the carriage and looked around.
He shouted, "Come out on your own and don't let me treat you."
“Ga-ga-ga!”
Only a few crows flew out of the woods.
Seeing that the people who were following him refused to show up, Xiu Ming picked up stones on the ground and threw one at the tree behind him on the left and another at the grass in front of him on the right.
Instantly, two screams were heard.
Two men, dressed in ordinary people's clothes and without any martial arts skills, ran out with their heads covered.
Xiu Ming had just put on a mask on purpose, and because he was already a burly guy, he looked even more ferocious.
The two men, who were not easily frightened, said everything.
They were sent by the Crazy Lion Village to stalk the intersection of Bianyang and the neighboring Linyang counties.
All roads leading out of Bianyang were tightly blocked by the people of the Crazy Lion Camp. Any group of people entering or leaving the city had to be reported to the leaders of the Crazy Lion Camp.
If the people wanted to leave the city, they had to leave ten taels of silver each before they could be let go.
If they enter the city, they will keep watching in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to take advantage of them.
Just now, the powerful Deng family army had just passed by, and they wanted to go back to report, but they found a carriage behind them that seemed to have some value, so they followed it all the way.
"Sir, how should we deal with these two people?"
They had heard the general idea of what they should know. Xiu Ming asked Li Tianzhuo whether he should kill him directly.
Li Tianzhuo was about to nod in agreement, but was stopped by Deng Youning, "Wait a minute."
She took out two poison pills and threw them to Xiu Ming through the car window.
Xiu Ming understood what she meant instantly and poured the poison into the two men's mouths.
"This is the Seven Days of Heartbreak. As the name suggests, if you want to be detoxified, just listen to us!"
Deng Youning felt that perhaps these two little bandits could cooperate with them in the mountain stronghold in the future.
Save your life for now.
The two men ran to the carriage and knelt down obediently.
"Thank you, Madam, for sparing my life. My name is Sun Laoliu, and he is my younger brother Laoqi. We are both refugees from the northern border. We had to become bandits in order to survive."
Li Tianzhuo was in a very good mood when he heard that they mistakenly called Deng Youning "Madam".
"Their lives were saved by Madam!"
Li Tianzhuo took the opportunity and boldly called Deng Youning "Madam".
Of course, the price he paid was being pinched mercilessly by Deng Youning.
My arms are all purple!
"You two should go back to the mountain stronghold. Remember, we cannot say anything more about our entry into the city today," Xiu Ming instructed.
Yingshi then added: "Also, if you encounter this snake in the future, remember, we must be within ten steps. You should come to meet it on your own initiative. If you don't, this poisonous snake will bite you to death."
Sakurashi threatened and frightened them, almost throwing the snake directly into their faces.
The snake was spitting out its tongue leisurely, but the sixth and seventh brothers felt frightened when they saw it.
"Yes, yes, we know about this and will absolutely obey your orders."
The two men kowtowed to them several times before leaving.
"It is indeed as Li Qinghuan said. This Bianyang County has been occupied by bandits. Even the county magistrate has to listen to them."
Before coming to Bianyang, Deng Youning went to Wuyinglou specifically to ask Li Qinghuan for news.
Even the news about the first intelligence organization, Wuyinglou, was obtained at the cost of sacrificing four secret agents.
You can imagine what kind of hell on earth this area of Bianyang has become!
At this moment, three or five burly men, tied up seven or eight young girls, and walked swaggeringly on the official road.
The girls' hands were tied with hemp ropes, and the other ends of the ropes were held in the hands of several men, making them look like the Kunlun slaves in front of a human trafficking shop.
However, the women were all dressed neatly and appropriately, and some of them were even wearing expensive brocade.
This is obviously no ordinary female slave!
"Xiu Ming, Ying Shi, follow them." Deng Youning ordered.
The sound of horse hooves clattered, and when they heard the sound of a carriage behind them, the group of people stopped and looked back.
When the man in the lead saw Yingshi sitting on the car, she was much prettier than these women. His lust was aroused and he gave Yingshi an obscene smile.
"Brothers, there's a beautiful young lady here, tie her up!"
The man fearlessly blocked the carriage. Xiu Ming pulled the reins in time, and the horse neighed and stopped.
Seeing the carriage stop, several men tried to kidnap Yingshi.
Yingshi was a little slow to react.
I have seen many bad guys, but this is the first time I have seen someone kidnap a woman in the street.
“Swoosh~”
The car curtain was lifted, and Deng Youning threw out two knives from the car, stabbing them into the hands of the two men who were holding Ying Shi's arms.
"ah--"
"If you dare to hurt me, come on, brothers, tie them up!"
At the man's command, the other men drew their swords and surrounded the carriage.
Xiu Ming flew down from the carriage and kicked the person in front of him to the ground.
Sakura also came along to help.
Although they look big and strong and have considerable strength, they can only use brute force and have no martial arts skills, so they are not to be feared.
The women nearby were all terrified, so Deng Youning got out of the car, untied the ropes for them and comforted them.
In a short while, the two men beat the men so badly that they could not stand up.
"You...you have beaten up several of our brothers today, which means you have offended our entire Crazy Lion Village. You will never leave Bianyang County alive!"
The leading man was still uttering harsh words.
"I was wondering who dared to be so rampant and rob a woman in broad daylight. It turns out to be the bandits from the Crazy Lion Village!"
Li Tianzhuo walked out of the car slowly. His voice was not loud, but his aura was very strong.
"Don't be afraid, ladies. The Duke of Zhenguo is following the emperor's orders to suppress the bandits. Now we have reached the foot of the Crazy Lion Mountain. They can no longer act so arrogantly!"
Deng Youning saw that the girls were very frightened, so she hugged them one by one.
When they were no longer nervous, Deng Youning asked:
"Can anyone tell me why these bandits kidnapped you to the mountain? Are they after your beauty?"
