Chapter 51 The Lady of the Bandit Bandit
"yes!"
Chang Feng slowly placed Zhang Dayong on the ground and said in a deep voice, "The court doctor will come to treat your injuries in a while. Just hold on!"
Then, he looked towards the rooftop with a sharp gaze and ordered the shadow guards hiding in the dark: "Notify all shadow guards to attack Tiger Roar Mountain with all their might. No mistakes!"
On Tiger Roar Mountain, darkness shrouds the mountain.
Countless tall trees stand in the mountains, pointing straight to the sky like terrifying claws.
The strong wind whistled through the forest with a sharp sound. The moonlight was completely blocked by the thick clouds. Occasionally, a few silver strands fell, but they were cut into pieces by the dense branches and leaves.
Shen Yue was hung on a big tree. She sighed as she looked at her new robe stained with pig blood.
"Princess, why are you doing this? You've made yourself so miserable. This pig's blood... ugh... it's really... ugh... disgusting!"
Yongan, who was hanging on the side, was obviously exhausted, but she was still trying hard to hold on.
"Stop talking nonsense. This princess is here with you. Stop talking. The emperor's uncle should be here soon!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of hurried horse hooves came from the distance.
Shen Yue listened attentively and thought to herself that something was wrong. Judging from the frequency of the horse hoof sounds, almost all the Shadow Guards should have been dispatched.
Yongan may not be punished in the end even though he has made such a big fuss this time, but the same cannot be said for her.
Tonight, she and Ersi are destined to be the scapegoats.
After a while, Yongan also heard the sound of horse hooves and hurriedly urged, "Here they come, get ready!"
Upon hearing this, the shadow guards immediately lay on the ground and pretended to be dead. The bandits also obediently raised their swords and placed them across the necks of the two men.
The one-eyed man held up a big knife and was shaking with nervousness.
"Eunuch... Princess, you must keep your word... You must not let us lose... lose our lives!"
Yongan was a little impatient: "I know! The silver I promised you is also indispensable. Stop talking, he's coming!"
Shen Yue looked at her silently and sighed. When she turned around again, she saw Xiao Yuheng riding a horse and galloping towards her like the wind with countless shadow guards.
He was wearing a jade crown on his head and a python robe, looking elegant and heroic. The Blood Drinking Spear on his waist shone with golden light against the backdrop of the night. The black sleeves embroidered with gold threads fluttered violently in the wind, like flags rustling on the battlefield.
My dark horse prince! So handsome!
Shen Yue looked at the handsome man on horseback and couldn't help but feel hearts welling up in her eyes.
But soon, the heart turned into a touch of guilt.
Because she saw that his cold and resolute face was clearly full of worry.
Xiao Yuheng frowned, his sharp eyes fixed on her direction until he got closer, allowing him to quickly assess the situation on the scene.
The shadow guards were lying on the ground in all directions, covered in blood and lifeless; Yong'an and Shen Er's clothes were also stained red with blood. The ferocious bandits held their long knives tightly against their necks, and the situation was extremely critical.
He tightened the reins, and the horse under him stopped instantly, raised its front hooves high, and let out a loud neigh from its mouth.
"Let them go, and I will spare your lives."
His eyes were as cold as ice, and his voice was low and steady. It sounded calm, yet it inexplicably gave off a suffocating feeling of oppression.
When the one-eyed man saw this, his legs immediately went weak.
But things had come to this point, and he couldn't retreat. He made up his mind and gripped the hilt of the knife tighter.
"If you want them to live, give them silver in exchange!"
When Shen Yue heard the voice, several black lines appeared on his forehead.
Brother, your voice is loud enough, but it's too shaky, isn't it?
After hearing what he said, Xiao Yuheng couldn't help but frown.
This bandit looked so cowardly, how did he manage to kill dozens of shadow guards and capture a master like Shen Er?
Just now, when he heard Zhang Dayong say that something happened to Yongan and Shen Er, he didn't bother to think and rushed over. Now, looking carefully, there are indeed many suspicious things at the scene.
Firstly, the shadow guards were all killed by bandits, but not a single drop of blood was stained on the bandits' blades;
Secondly, there was a lot of blood on Shen Er's white robe, but there were no wounds anywhere visible, and there were no signs of the robe being cut;
Thirdly, human blood should smell salty and fishy, but the blood at the scene today smelled a bit... stinky;
In addition, the most important point is that Yongan witnessed so many shadow guards being killed and hung today, but he did not cry.
Combining the above doubts, the biggest possibility is... they are acting.
As for the purpose of acting, I'm afraid I'll need his cooperation to find out.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yuheng spoke in a deep voice:
"Let them go first. As long as they are safe and sound, I will give you as much money as you want."
When the one-eyed man heard this, he realized that this was not the right direction!
It should be King Cheng who makes the first offer. No matter how much King Cheng offers, he will say it is not enough and that the money can only redeem one person, so that he can choose one of the two.
Now King Cheng wants as much money as he wants. How can he accept it?
He curled his lips in embarrassment and turned to look at Yong'an for help, but Yong'an seemed to be blind and ignored him without any response.
There was no way, he could only take care of it himself.
The one-eyed dragon racked his brains for a long time and finally came up with a set of words:
"Well, we brothers are not short of money. Right now, our village is still in need of a wife. We must keep one of this girl and the pretty boy. The prince can only choose to redeem one!"
Chen Yue: What the hell? Pretty boy? Concubine? You guys are so fucking perverted, I%&#＃……&%……
The shadow guards lying on the ground couldn't help wanting to laugh when they heard they were going to keep their chief as his concubine. However, due to the plot requirements, they couldn't laugh or move, so they had to try hard to hold it in. Some of the shadow guards were already shaking from holding back their laughter...
At this moment, Xiao Yuheng's expression was extremely ugly. "Say it again."
The one-eyed dragon was really scared now, and his voice trembled even more: "I, I say, one of the little girl and the pretty boy must be left behind to be the wife of the bandit leader."
"Your Highness, let me kill him!" Changfeng said angrily.
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of swift black shadows suddenly appeared around the bandits, surrounding them tightly.
The shadow guards of the First, Second, and Fourth Divisions stood with swords in hand. Jiang Da and Zhao Si were at the front. They shouted in unison, "Let our subordinates kill them!"
Yongan saw that the situation had developed far beyond her control and immediately burst into tears:
"Wow...Uncle Emperor, save me! I don't want to be the wife of a bandit leader. Choose me, choose me!"
After hearing what she said, Xiao Yuheng finally understood the purpose of their setting up this game.
However, he didn't expect that Shen Er would also join Yong An in making trouble.
He raised his eyes and met Shen Er's guilty and evasive gaze through the dim night.
When he spoke again, his voice was cold and emotionless: "Okay, I will choose."
