"Great! We can go out now!"
"My dear young master, you are our lucky star!"
"Hurry up! Go through the back mountain, or those bandits will find us soon!"
"Young Master, you should come too. Come with us! We are all villagers living at the foot of the mountain. We know the way down!"
Yuan Qi Yu released all the people who were captured, and after confirming that no one was left out, he prepared to slip away.
But just as he was about to run out, he heard footsteps behind him and found himself surrounded.
A group of ferocious-looking men carried Yuan Qiyu like a chicken to the open space in the middle of the village.
"Boss! Found it! It's this kid!"
Yuan Qiyu was thrown to the ground, and the little white dog in his arms was ready to move. He touched its head and pressed it back into his arms.
There are too many people here, and it would be difficult to explain clearly if Xiaobai showed up at this time.
He looked around and saw a middle-aged man with a full beard sitting in front of him.
The man had a scar on his chest, and he looked very ferocious.
His narrow eyes narrowed and he snorted through his nose, "Is this the kid? Where did the tiger go?"
The bandits who were searching came back and said that the tiger had disappeared.
The mountain boss was in a bad mood and angrily kicked the subordinate in front of him, "I've been in this mountain for ten years! I've never heard of any big tigers!"
The subordinate wanted to cry but had no tears. He didn't know how to explain. He could only look at Yuan Qiyu and said softly, "Boss... Boss, why don't you ask this kid?"
Shan Lao Da threw his subordinate back and wanted to grab Yuan Qi Yu's collar.
Yuan Qiyu stepped back, his face stern, "I'm telling you! Don't touch me!"
"Otherwise you're screwed!"
The mountain boss and the surrounding bandits were stunned when they heard this.
Could this kid really be sent by God?
Shan Lao Da didn't believe it. He laughed "Hahaha" and crossed his arms, looking down at Yuan Qiyu on the ground. "What? Do you have the Jade Emperor behind you?"
Yuan Qiyu stared at him with his dark eyes, but he was very calm.
"My father is Huo Yan, the Great General of the Northwest!"
At the critical moment, he thought of what Yuan Heng had said to him before.
"If someone bullies you and you can't beat them, just bring out your parents. Aren't they your strongest backers?"
Sure enough, Shan Laoda's smile paused.
Yuan Qi Yu couldn't help but feel secretly delighted. Look, these bandits would wet their pants when they heard his father's name!
"Hahahahahaha!" But Shan Laoda burst into laughter. "Did you hear that? Who did he say his father is?"
"It's Huo Yan, hahahahahaha!"
The surrounding bandits also burst into laughter, "Boy! Just make up your mind, General Huo hasn't even gotten married yet, how did he get a son as old as you?"
"If you are Huo Yan's son, then I am the prince's grandson!"
Yuan Qiyu listened to their laughter and then thought of this. He was a little unhappy, but his expression did not change and he continued,
"My mother is Princess Showa!"
The laughter around them subsided a little.
"My third uncle is a prince! What's the Chicken King?"
"My eldest uncle is the crown prince!"
"If you mess with me, you're done!!!"
If one strongest supporter doesn't work, then two, three...
He spoke so seriously that he actually scared the bandits.
A bandit approached the mountain king and whispered, "Boss, could he really be the illegitimate son of General Huo and Princess Zhaohe?"
The bandits were all men, so they naturally knew Huo Yan's name.
Suddenly a child appeared and said that he was the child of Huo Yan and Yuan Zhao, and the bandits' eyes were all filled with gossip.
Tsk tsk tsk, what a great general, isn't he just like these bandits...
The mountain boss slapped the bandit on the head and said, "Get out!"
"Lock him up!"
But another person said, "Boss, what if what he said is true?"
Shan Laoda's heart skipped a beat. If that were true... Huo Yan was in charge of the Northwest Army, and he could take down their entire village by himself.
Also, I'm not afraid of provoking others, but if they are really members of the royal family...
Shan Lao Da hesitated for a moment. He looked at the burnt village, feeling depressed and pacing back and forth.
There are so many strange things happening tonight!
Thinking of this, and then thinking of the giant tiger that had disappeared, the mountain boss vaguely felt that things were too strange.
Based on his years of sixth sense, if this child is left here, he might really get into trouble.
Forget it, I'm not afraid of ten thousand, I'm afraid of one.
So he stopped and stared at Yuan Qiyu, who was sitting on the ground leisurely, and said, "Let him go."
The bandits around were all shocked. They didn't expect that the boss would actually let the person go.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Qiyu jumped up and brushed off the dust on his butt.
"You said it yourself, so I'm leaving!"
After saying that, before anyone else could react, he ran away.
He only left a dashing back view to the group of bandits.
Seeing Yuan Qi Yu running so fast, Shan Lao Da felt a little regretful.
But after thinking about it, he decided not to send anyone to chase him. He just shouted,
"What are you looking at?"
"Clean up the village for me!"
…
After Yuan Qi Yu left the bandits' sight, he rode Xiaobai down the mountain.
Finally, at sunrise, they found Zhou Shan and a group of villagers waiting at the foot of the mountain.
Seeing Yuan Qiyu return safely, Zhou Shan burst into tears of joy and rushed forward, calling out, "Young Master!"
Yuan Qi Yu didn't expect there were so many people, nor did he expect Zhou Shan to be waiting for him at the foot of the mountain.
He thought they had all gone home.
"Why are you all here?"
Zhou Shan held a stick in his hand and said, "Young Master, we thought that if you didn't come out before dawn, we would go and rescue you."
Other children from the village also gathered around and talked a lot.
"Yes, yes! The young master saved us, and we can't abandon him!"
"Brother, you are so awesome!"
"Your tiger is so majestic!"
Yuan Qi Yu grinned, and for once he was no longer so afraid of interacting with strangers.
He patted his chest proudly and said, "I'm fine! Don't worry!"
To avoid being chased by bandits, the group quickly parted ways.
Zhou Shan carried Yuan Qi Yu and continued to move northwest. In order to express their gratitude, the villagers also packed a lot of mountain products for them.
When only Zhou Shan and Yuan Qiyu were left, Zhou Shan asked him, "Young Master, how did you escape?"
Yuan Qiyu sat on the donkey cart, hugging Xiaobai. "I told them my parents' names, and they let me go..."
If he had known that the method given by the third brother was so effective, why would he have gone to so much trouble? Wouldn't he have just let them open the door and let them in?
Zhou Shan was silent...
This is very simple and crude.
But Zhou Shan thought of something else and asked, "What are you going to do in the northwest, young master?"
After this night, Yuan Qiyu felt a little tired and leaned back.
"Go find my parents!"
