As the night grew darker, someone opened the window on the corridor.
At this moment, the sound of wind could be heard from time to time.
The group went up to the third floor of the inn.
The bandit leader standing in the front paused and stopped.
He raised his hand, and the people behind him also stopped where they were.
Because it was too dark, he took a moment to identify the direction before slowly walking over.
Although there are many people, the bandit leader is still cautious just in case.
After all, if Xu Hesheng could be kidnapped.
Then he will probably get a lot.
Thinking of this, the bandit leader's eyes flickered.
He didn't know why those people wanted to cooperate with him.
but. . .
As long as they were given money and could survive in times like this, the bandit boss didn't want to know what their purpose was.
He just takes the money and does the job, that's all.
Besides, it was just a matter of kidnapping people and taking them away, something he was very skilled at.
Thinking of this, the bandit leader couldn't help but grin.
A silent laugh in the darkness.
Brother Qiang, who was following behind him, was a little confused. What happened to the boss? Why didn't he move yet?
Unfortunately, before he could figure out what was going on, the bandit leader suddenly took two steps forward.
Brother Qiang quickly followed with the people behind him.
These days, being a bandit requires some skills.
After all, the imperial court couldn't do anything to them for the time being, so they had to try their best to survive.
The bandit leader was inexplicably distracted.
The world has been peaceful for too long, and he had no choice but to become a bandit. He could only try every possible way to protect himself.
The bandit leader stood in front of Xu Hesheng's door.
He didn't know that Xu Hesheng had already left at dusk.
There is no one in this room at the moment.
The shopkeeper standing behind him grinned in the night, looking as if he was neither smiling nor crying.
Wait a little longer, Qiu, I will be able to avenge you soon.
The entire Hongcheng is guilty.
The bandits used the same methods as before. The bandit leader turned sideways and asked Brother Qiang to put the smoke in.
After a while, they all put on their cloth bands and covered their mouths and noses.
The door creaked as it opened.
Brother Qiang blew on the fire stick and a little light flickered in the house.
The bandit leader slowly approached the bed with a long knife in his hand.
He walked very slowly, and when he reached the bed, he suddenly froze.
Brother Qiang behind him stuck his head out and saw clearly what was in front of him with the light from the tinder.
There was nothing on the bed.
The bandit leader's expression suddenly changed. He turned around and looked at the shopkeeper standing outside.
He took two quick steps and was about to approach the shopkeeper when he suddenly saw him pick up a dagger.
In a decisive manner, he wiped his neck.
Blood suddenly gushed out, staining the faces of these bandits.
The shopkeeper slowly fell to the ground, his eyes wide open, staring at the wooden board in front of him.
The one left there was his only daughter.
As if in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness, the shopkeeper felt light and airy.
He seemed to see Aqiu's former appearance, wearing a coarse cloth skirt and very lively.
Calling him again and again.
"Dad? Dad!"
The shopkeeper let out a loud cry with difficulty, and soon he fell silent.
The bandit leader wiped the blood off his face and became even more angry.
He wished he could tear the shopkeeper into pieces.
"I was fooled."
Brother Qiang was stunned and his face turned pale.
He and the monkey-faced man had been staring at each other for so long, and now that something had happened, neither of them could escape.
He knew the bandit boss's methods, and the more he thought about it, the more scared he became.
But the shopkeeper was gone, and no one knew where Xu Hesheng had gone.
Failure to complete the task as agreed.
Not to mention the reward, I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it!
The bandit leader was silent for a long time, and finally spoke with his eyes narrowed.
"Let's go downstairs first."
Unfortunately, before he had taken two steps, the bandit leader stopped.
Something is wrong, very wrong. Why is it so quiet downstairs?
Shouldn't.
He looked at the window beside the stairs and only then realized that he had fallen into a trap.
"Walk!"
The bandit leader was trying to escape through the window.
But they didn't know that Li Si was guarding there, and a bandit was trying to escape through the window.
The next second, he was killed by Li Si with a single knife.
Seeing this, the bandit leader took two steps back.
"Who are you!"
A ray of moonlight shone through the window.
Li Si stood at the window, half squatting.
Hearing this, he just smiled and said, "The one who wants your life."
The bandit leader reacted very quickly. He turned his head and a dart swept past his ear.
If I hadn't dodged in time, half of my face would have been lost.
This skill made the bandit boss realize that he had hit a wall.
I originally planned to escape through the stairs, but unfortunately Lu Anan was already waiting there.
She raised the corners of her lips and watched the group of people rushing down.
She lifted her foot and kicked the person in front back, blocking all the people behind her on the stairs.
Many torches and candles were lit, illuminating the entire second floor.
The bandit leader stood in the middle, frowning as he looked at Lu Anan and others in front of him.
"So it was you guys who did it."
This is obviously a misunderstanding.
When He Yao saw that Xu Hesheng did not appear, his eyes flashed twice.
However, even though he had an irreconcilable feud with the Xu family, he had to say something.
Xu Hesheng is a cunning man.
He is smart and capable. I think he must have made some preparations to dare to come to Hongcheng alone.
Xiao Qi came over with the miracle doctor and stood at the back.
The dim firelight could only barely make out the person in front of me.
But he smelled a scent of blood.
Lu Anan also smelled it.
Ever since she started using the skills from the mall, her five senses have become exceptionally strong.
The smell of blood was extremely pungent, and Lu Anan frowned.
"Who did you kill?"
The bandit leader was stunned. It was really bad luck.
They were tricked and are now stuck here, unable to go up or down.
It's really infuriating.
"Mind your own business. I advise you to get out of the way."
It was Brother Qiang who was standing behind the bandit leader who spoke.
He cursed in his heart, this monkey-faced man really was incompetent and had even alerted the enemy.
He Yao recognized him and chuckled.
"Why, are you surprised to see us?"
The corner of Brother Qiang's mouth twitched, and the bandit leader turned around and glanced at him. Brother Qiang immediately didn't dare to speak.
He Yao looked at the bandit leader.
"You are really useless."
Bandit Boss: ...
Lu Anan didn't expect He Yao to say that suddenly.
"Then Xu Hesheng already knew about it. Do you think he's a fool and is walking into a trap by making a deal with the Xu family?"
The bandit leader frowned and his expression became increasingly ugly.
He didn't know whether Xu Hesheng was a fool or not, but now they were standing here.
It seems like I'm being played around by someone.
"Where is Xu Hesheng?"
Before Lu Anan could say anything, the miracle doctor behind him seemed to have noticed something.
"You...are about to die."
