"Hey! Kid, you dare to be so insolent in front of me, Uncle Chen? You've got a death wish! Brothers, grab your weapons and take this!"
The moment the bodyguard spoke, he instantly enraged the burly, dark-faced man, who, without the slightest hesitation, drew his knife and attacked.
Cen Xi secretly hid in one of the cargo wagons in the caravan and watched them fight back and forth, locked in a fierce battle.
The bodyguard had been slashed several times by the burly man with the dark face; his left arm and thigh were also injured.
In the end, his men were no match for him and were defeated.
"It's over, it's over. If this batch of goods can't be delivered to the capital, the Wen family business is finished."
As the robbers carried their goods up the mountain in batches, the shopkeeper could only mutter anxiously.
"Is this shipment important to you?"
Seeing his expression as if he wanted to kiss the sword and commit suicide, Cen Xi couldn't help but lean forward and ask.
"Yes! This is the last batch of Yun brocade this winter. If this batch is stolen, we won't have anywhere to get so much to send to the capital in a short time. If we don't deliver on time, even with connections, the Wen family will probably be finished."
The shopkeeper was sweating profusely as he spoke, and tears were welling up in his eyes from anxiety.
"If I help you, what benefits will your Wen family give me?"
Cen Xi looked at the shopkeeper with great interest and asked.
"What help can a little girl like you be? Get out of here. This old man is already annoyed. Don't play tricks on me, I need to hurry back to Shangyang City and tell my master!"
The shopkeeper gave Cen Xi a disdainful look, then glanced around before preparing to run away.
"Don't look down on me. Just watch, I'm going to be a robber too."
Cen Xi smiled at him and flicked her finger, instantly halting the shopkeeper's escape, his face filled with terror.
After subduing the shopkeeper, she used her light-footed skill to stand on a large tree and imitated the dark-faced man from before, saying:
"Hey! I planted this tree and I opened this road. If you want to go back to the mountains, you have to get past me first."
Gaa gaa gaa!
Coo coo coo!
After Cen Xi shouted, the bandits were too busy carrying things to even glance at her. All she could hear were the chirping and rustling of birds in the forest.
Perhaps those birds weren't even responding to her.
Sigh! My first attempt at being a bandit was such a failure.
After a few seconds of dejection, Cen Xi had no choice but to draw his Shadowbreaker Sword, sweep it horizontally, and shout at a high volume:
"Hey! Stop it, all of you! This is robbery, you know?"
This time, upon feeling the pressure of the sword energy, everyone stopped and stared at her in astonishment.
But that's the effect Cen Xi wanted...
Well!
There seems to be a slight discrepancy!
Whether it was because her arrogance went too far or for some other reason, these people instantly turned into statues.
Everyone seemed to have lost their voice.
Cen Xi waited on the tree for the entire time it takes to drink a cup of tea, but this was the result.
Okay, Cen Xi admits she can't be a good robber.
She couldn't recreate the effect the dark-faced man had just achieved.
Left with no other choice, she could only climb down the tree to see what these people were going to do.
"Hey! Big Blackhead, I'm planning to take your place and become the mountain king here. You... say something."
Cen Xi stood in front of the dark-faced man, nudged him, and asked.
As a result of her push, the burly man with the dark face fell down instantly, still with a pained expression on his face.
Cen Xi looked at it over and over but still couldn't understand why he was like that.
Could it be that her sword energy was poisonous?
No way! She fought with a pervert for so long at the Prince Heng's Mansion in Yucheng, and he was fine. How could this happen today?
Cen Xi stepped past the burly man with the dark face and then looked at the situation of the others.
Those people all looked just like that burly, dark-faced man.
Okay, these people do seem to be poisoned.
So she tried hard to think if she had any poison or anything like that on her.
After thinking it over, she realized she had indeed forgotten. How could she have forgotten about the leader of the Su Nu Sect? When they parted, that woman seemed to have thrown her a few bottles of poison. But she was too tired that night and slept for a whole day and night, so she forgot about it.
So she rummaged through her sleeves and finally found a bunch of culprits.
A little poison spilled from one of the bottles. But only a tiny bit.
Cen Xi glanced at the bottle of poison in surprise.
oh!
this…
That's incredibly potent! Just a tiny bit of poison, and it wiped out a whole bunch of people.
It seems that woman indeed has the right to be arrogant.
Cen Xi carefully examined the five or six bottles, hoping to find an antidote.
Fortunately, that woman was reliable enough to give her both the poison and the antidote; otherwise, she wouldn't know what to do with these people.
Cen Xi has principles when it comes to killing; she has no interest in killing anyone who isn't a truly heinous criminal.
These people are clearly not in this category, so it's better to save them.
So she had the corresponding antidote smelled by those she had knocked down.
After a while, those who had been frozen in place finally came back to life. The dark-faced man was the first to walk up to Cen Xi and say:
"Grandma, this is our first time robbing someone, and we're not very skilled. We apologize for any offense we may have caused. If these people are your friends, we'll let them go immediately. Please be merciful and spare our brothers' lives."
"No way! We've already taken it, there's no reason to give it back. If you took it, I'll just take it again."
Cen Xi hadn't had his fill of being a bandit yet, so how could he let them get away with it so easily?
"Then I'll try to steal it again, and you try to steal it again?"
The burly, dark-faced man asked, looking constipated.
"Fine, I'll just rob you. You've already robbed everyone, and you've killed almost everyone. What else is there to rob? From now on, I'll be in charge of your stronghold. I'll be the boss, and you'll be the second-in-command."
Cen Xi glanced at her and said in a serious tone.
"Heroine, if you spare our lives, we will obey you from now on."
The dark-faced man said pragmatically.
"Then have the brothers move this thing up the mountain and leave it there, don't let them touch it! You come with me to negotiate with that shopkeeper."
Cen Xi glanced at him and said.
"Yes! What the heroine says is right! Xue Daniu, have the brothers continue moving the things up the mountain. Once they're up there, they're not allowed to move anything. We'll deal with it after the heroine gets up the mountain."
After agreeing to Cen Xi's request, the burly man with the dark face spoke to one of his brothers.
"Let's go! Let's go see this shopkeeper."
Cen Xi glanced at him, then walked up to the shopkeeper, whose pressure points she had just immobilized, and said:
"Shopkeeper, you saw what I was capable of just now! Do you still think I'm not good enough?"
"You...you've colluded with them?"
The shopkeeper asked, his eyes wide open.
"No, I took his position. From now on, I'm the queen of Feifeng Mountain. They'll be my subordinates. Do you still want to deliver your goods to the capital?"
Cen Xi brandished the Broken Shadow Sword in his hand and raised an eyebrow.
"You... what do you want?"
The shopkeeper broke out in a cold sweat as he watched the woman playing with the sword in her hand. Clearly, this woman was far more terrifying than the burly, dark-faced man beside her.
