Chapter 50 Seizure
Zhang Weiguo raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at the team of officers. The leader was naturally calm and composed. There were a few brave officers behind him, but most of them still had trembling legs. They were obviously cowards.
If such an escort team were to encounter a robbery, they would probably be killed without leaving a trace.
"Boss, get started! If we don't, the officers on the other side will be so scared that they'll pee their pants. Let's get to work soon and finish our work so we can go back and have some drinks."
The minions looked at the stalemate, scratching their heads and urging the leaders to fight. Without the leader's order, the brothers did not dare to start a war. They were really itching to do so.
The officers' pride was hurt and their faces flushed with anger. Chen Er even drew his sword and was ready to fight, but Wang Gang blocked him with his long arm, trying to maneuver.
"My fellow heroes, we are from the government office, and we are escorting exiled prisoners. Not only is there little profit, but you also don't want to be reported to the government and arrested in the future..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhang Weiguo extended his right arm, flashed his long sword, and approached step by step, obviously intending to start a battle: "Stop talking nonsense, I urge you to surrender honestly, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!"
The officers had never seen such a powerful aura before and were already frozen with fear. Even Wang Gang's eyes darkened and he did not dare to act rashly when he stepped forward to take the attack.
He was able to become the leader of the police, and although he knew a few martial arts moves, the long swords in the hands of the bandits were sharper than his sword. If he was not careful, he would die. He was not willing to lose his life for the little money he earned as a police officer with a group of exiles he had never met before.
Wang Gang was not the only one who had this concern. Most of the officers also had the same idea, so when they fought against the mountain bandits, their momentum was much weaker.
Cheng Weiyao watched, her lips tightly pursed. The two forces had just clashed, and the officers were already at a disadvantage. Defeat was entirely foreseeable, unless...
Her eyes fell on Wen Chengyun, but Wen Chengyun was watching from a distance, obviously having no intention of helping.
Ten minutes later, the battle was over. The officers were pinned to the ground in a state of embarrassment, and their swords fell to the side.
"You're so fierce! Keep on being fierce! Weren't you quite patient just now?"
The little henchman called on his fellow bandits to take out the prepared hemp ropes and tie up the officers one by one, and even reached out to pat Chen Er's face provocatively.
"Brothers, clean up the battlefield and take the good guys away. We are going back to the village!"
Zhang Weiguo coughed lightly, signaling his minions to restrain themselves. Among this group of officers, Chen Er was the most desperate. His desperate fighting style really impressed him. It was a pity that he was on the opposite side.
Everyone obediently followed the bandits along the mountain road to the stronghold. Some of them were smart and wanted to glance around to memorize the road, but as soon as they looked up, they were slapped on the head.
"What are you looking at? If you keep looking around, I'll gouge them out and soak them in wine!"
The bandits were not only brutal in force but also had sharp insights. Cheng Weiyao's worries increased a lot. If they entered the stronghold, they would be divided into the base.
Being in an unfamiliar place, escaping is definitely not an easy task, but... Wen Chengyun is so low-key, I'm afraid he has other plans, which is definitely not simple. Now I'm on the edge of a dilemma, I can only take it one step at a time...
The stronghold was hidden deep in the mountains and forests. When they arrived, it was already dark. As the group approached the stronghold gate, the bandits on the lookout had already noticed the brothers' triumphant return and immediately rang the bell.
"Brothers, the boss is back, let's drink and eat meat tonight!"
With a shout, the whole village was plunged into a joyful atmosphere. The smiling bandits and the dusty officials formed a sharp contrast, and the exiles were driven to a centralized detention center.
"Should we tie up all the men? What if some foolish ones try to escape?"
"Come on, look at these spoiled, delicate-skinned people. They look like the sons of wealthy families. If they had the guts, they would have stepped forward to help when they were fighting with the police..."
A few bandits laughed at them without hesitation, and did not even bother to tie them up. They just pushed the exiles into the woodshed and the backyard roughly.
In order to prevent escape, men and women were imprisoned separately. The monks could escape, but their families could not, which also increased the psychological concerns of the exiles.
Mountain cottage, woodshed.
Cheng Wei Yao readily found a place to sit down and rest. Although everyone was detained, the bandits did not do anything extreme and had not even had time to plunder their property.
"What should we do now? Those bandits are clearly focused on taking revenge on the officers, so they haven't gotten to us yet. But we can't just sit there and wait for death, right?!"
Wen Liyu paced restlessly in the woodshed. Although Wang Gang and his gang targeted the Prince of Qingping's Mansion, they were only affiliated with the government and would not commit murder or arson. However, bandits could do anything!
"Keep your voice down. There's no point in being anxious. Take this opportunity to rest and recover your strength."
Cheng Weiyao rubbed her temples and made a shushing gesture.
The Imperial Noble Consort had already taken a nap with Wen Chengming. She was weak and already exhausted, so now that she had the chance to rest, she naturally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Mother is tired. How can you sleep at such a young age?!"
Seeing that she couldn't make herself understood, Cheng Weiyao rolled her eyes and gave up on communicating with Wen Liyu, leaving her to worry on her own.
No one responded, and Wen Liyu felt bored after muttering for a long time, so she simply found a slightly cleaner corner to sit down and rest.
The woodshed soon became quiet, leaving only the sound of everyone's even and long breathing. Cheng Weiyao's consciousness entered the QQ Farm to rest.
Sitting in the woodshed was cold and uncomfortable, so she naturally chose the cabin on the farm. Because it was an original cabin, there were not many decorations inside, but the small bed still looked particularly warm and soft.
When she woke up again, she noticed the sound of the door opening. Cheng Weiyao's eyelids moved slightly, but she didn't open them. Instead, she kept her eyes half closed cautiously, observing the situation.
"Are you sure everyone in here is asleep? If someone wakes up and starts yelling, the boss won't forgive you if he finds out..."
The bandit guarding the gate asked worriedly.
"Sleep, sleep! Once this smoke is blown, I'll sleep deeper than a sow. Don't worry, I'm very nimble. I'll leave as soon as I'm done. I guarantee no one will notice..."
The little minion rubbed his hands obscenely as he spoke and walked towards Cheng Weiyao and Wen Liyu. He had taken a liking to this beautiful woman at first sight...
