Upon seeing this, Lin Yan'an shrank back into the scarred man's arms, looking frightened, but inwardly he felt a little strange.
Is it because he's so stunningly beautiful in women's clothing that everyone is staring at him?
The scarred man was also a bit confused. Seeing Zhao Cheng staring at the person in his arms, he cautiously asked, "Sir, are you interested in this girl? She's a girl we just brought back today."
After saying that, he only glanced cautiously at the person under the eaves, but he was a little puzzled.
Could this guy have also taken a fancy to the beauty in his arms? He finally found someone who took the initiative, and it would be such a loss to just give her away like this.
Zhao Cheng remained silent, his gaze fixed on Lin Yan'an, but the frost in his eyes grew thicker and thicker.
Seeing this, everyone else held their breath and dared not make any big moves.
Chen Li, who was standing to the side, also sensed that something was wrong and frowned, saying, "What are you standing there for? Hand over the woman in your arms to the master."
The scarred man nodded repeatedly, pushed away the person in his arms, and respectfully inquired, "Sir, look at this girl, she's quite pretty. How about I just send her to your room?"
Zhao Cheng stared intently at Lin Yan'an, stepped forward, grabbed the other man's collar, and got a clear look at his face.
The scarred man was a little disappointed that he wouldn't be able to enjoy the beauty tonight, but the next second, Zhao Cheng slapped him hard across the face.
"Who gave you permission to bring this person up here? You idiot, can't you tell a man from a woman? Tie him up right now!"
After saying that, he threw the person he was holding aside, but his gaze fell on the other women who were huddled together in fear.
Liu'er sensed something was wrong and lowered her head, hiding behind several girls, but she was secretly worried.
She truly never expected to see Zhao Cheng on this island.
She had dealt with this man together with the girl, so he must know her.
Seeing this, Chen Li stepped forward a few paces and asked, "Sir, is there something wrong with these women?"
Zhao Cheng stared intently at the women, but when his gaze fell on Liu'er, he suddenly paused and coldly ordered, "Bring that person here."
The bandits were momentarily stunned.
Liu'er had already reacted, quickly breaking free from the knots on her hands, pulling out the poison from her sleeve, and throwing it all at the bandits.
Instantly, the bandits, who were still stunned in place, were covered in white powder. Their eyes felt burning and they covered their eyes, groaning.
Seeing this, Zhao Cheng hurriedly tried to step forward, but his legs were suddenly grabbed tightly, rendering him unable to move. Looking down, he saw that the person who had been slumped on the ground in fear was now holding him tightly, shouting, "Liu'er, run! Don't worry about me!"
Zhao Cheng merely snorted coldly, kicked the person on the ground aside, and quickly reached forward.
The other bandits finally realized something was wrong and quickly surrounded Liu'er, wielding their broadswords to slash at her.
Seeing this, Liu'er dodged the large knives that were being swung at her, and quickly took out poison from her sleeve, about to throw it at the bandits.
The next second, Zhao Cheng grabbed his shoulders, pinched his hands, and slammed him to the ground, rendering him completely immobile.
Zhao Cheng's eyes were filled with rage. He felt something was wrong with his body, but he couldn't care less about that at the moment. His voice was tinged with madness as he said, "You actually dare to come here? Are Jiang Yimian and Lu Cijian, those two scoundrels, in Weizhou City right now?"
Liu'er simply shut her mouth and didn't speak. She wanted to sprinkle the poison in her hand, but the other party gripped her wrist tightly, and she couldn't exert any strength at all.
Zhao Cheng burst into laughter, "Good, good! These two bastards actually dared to come here. Anyone who dares to ruin the King of Chu's grand plan deserves only one word: death."
I'll kill them right here today! Chen Li, go and tie these two up.
I want to see how those two scoundrels are going to get away today.
Chen Li quickly responded.
Before long, the two men who had been lying on the ground were captured by the bandits and tied to two logs in the center of the village.
They were surrounded by countless pieces of dry firewood, which were also doused with kerosene. With just a slight touch of a flame, the firewood would be ignited instantly.
These two will also be burned alive.
Lin Yan'an was tied to a log, struggling against the knots binding him, but the knots were exceptionally strong, and no matter how hard he tried, the ropes showed no sign of loosening.
He was so angry that he cursed loudly, "Are you crazy? Put us down right now! Even if you burn us to death here, Jiang Yimian and Lu Cijian won't care about us. Let us go now!"
This is really bad. He and Liu'er are tied up. If Lu Cijian is controlled, then we've lost today.
Forget about bringing fame to the Lin family; they'll probably all die here together.
Liu'er remained unusually silent, feeling guilty for not being able to help Jiang Yimian and the other person figure out the situation in the village, and now she had become a burden to them.
It's her fault for underestimating the enemy, thinking these bandits were just a bunch of rabble and not worth paying attention to. Now look what's happened.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She said angrily, "That King Chu, that rat crossing the street, shouldn't even think about starting over. I'm telling you, with the princess and Lord Lu here, he will definitely die a terrible death. And you, you will die too, and all of you river bandits will die as well."
Zhao Cheng ignored their anger and sneered, "Gag them."
Upon hearing this, the scarred man immediately stepped forward, grabbed Lin Yan'an's chin viciously, and roared through gritted teeth, "You're fucking crazy! What are you pretending to be? If the adults didn't keep you around for a reason, I would have killed you right now, you dead homosexual."
After saying that, without waiting for Lin Yan'an to curse, he picked up the rag in his hand and stuffed it directly into Lin Yan'an's mouth.
The thought that he had not only been hugging a man and calling him "baby" the whole way, but had also been touching him for a long time made him want to chop off his own hand.
Damn it, a man is actually pretending to be a woman here, and he actually took a liking to her.
He'll make sure this guy suffers a terrible death.
Just thinking about the way those skinny guys looked at him earlier made him want to skin that bastard alive.
Lin Yan'an tried to shout as he tried to speak, but the rag stuffed in his mouth was too tight, so he could only let out a few sobs.
The scarred man glared at him fiercely before stuffing the rag into Liu'er's mouth.
Chen Li ignored the feud between the two and looked at Zhao Cheng, who was sitting in a grand chair, and hesitated, saying, "My lord, since these two are people around Lu Cijian and Jiang Yimian, it proves that Lu Cijian and the others must be in Weizhou City now."
"The city guards will probably arrive soon. What do we do now?"
He truly hadn't expected those idiots in Weizhou City to come up with such a method, and yet no one had noticed that someone had infiltrated.
Now that the location of the stronghold has been exposed, the garrison soldiers will probably arrive soon.
The war with Weizhou City has started ahead of schedule; he doesn't know if it's good or bad for them.
