Tang Peng also began to relax a little. Seeing this, the man continued to persuade him, "Eating breakfast won't take much time."
The man then threw out another trump card, "It's getting hotter than summer, and I don't know when the rain will start."
"We have plenty of spring water in our village. We have wells and plenty of water. It would be nice if you could go and replenish some water."
Su Sijin coughed lightly and called Tang Peng aside to talk.
"Six people suddenly showed up in the middle of nowhere and enthusiastically persuaded us to be their guests. I wonder what Mr. Tang Jie thinks?"
Tang Peng waved his hand nonchalantly, "I am a salaried employee of the imperial court. How dare a commoner like me attack someone like Jie?"
Tang Peng showed the whip in his hand and said, "If they dare to play tricks, I will make them pay for it."
After Tang Peng finished speaking, he stopped dealing with Su Sijin and hurriedly asked everyone to follow the six people.
Su Sijin pursed her lips. She was sure that the bandits were planning to lure her into a trap.
As the biggest decision-maker among the exiles, Tang Peng is self-deprecating and arrogant.
He didn't take such an obvious crisis seriously. It was a miracle that he survived the exile until now.
However, it just so happened that she also planned to find out the shadow and remove the time bomb in exile.
"Be careful." Su Sijin looked sideways at Lu Changgong, only to see him nod slightly.
If Su Sijin hadn't been next to him, it would have been strange if she could have heard his mosquito-like voice.
"Eat it." Su Sijin handed Lu Changgong a pill, and Lu Changgong took it and put it into his mouth.
The pill feels cool and refreshing when it slides into my throat, which is very comfortable.
When they reached the halfway point of the mountain and entered the village, the man explained his origins briefly and clearly to the gatekeeper and was greeted warmly.
Almost as soon as they sat down, tea was served to everyone in an orderly manner.
Not too much, not too little, just right. It had been prepared for them a long time ago.
Su Sijin and Lu Changgong looked at each other, picked up the teacup and drank it all.
At the same time, everyone fainted one after another.
"Haha, Kuizi, that's great! You can bring me more than a thousand people worth of good stuff with just one move."
Kuizi is the man who led Tang Peng and his group here.
Su Sijin held her breath, listened quietly, opened her eyelids slightly, and the silver needles and dagger in her hands were ready to attack at any time.
I saw a rough and sloppy middle-aged man patting Kuizi's shoulder and staring at the woman in a lewd manner.
Su Sijin saw a black shadow standing in front of the bandit leader, with his back to Su Sijin. The back looked unfamiliar, and the voice was also unfamiliar. It was not the black shadow from last night.
Su Sijin secretly thought that this was not good. The other party was too cunning. She thought she had it all planned out, but now something unexpected happened.
The jade pendant she picked up last night turned out to be Lu Changming's. If the moonlight had not shone on her and allowed her to see the word "Ming" on the pendant, she would have almost made a fatal mistake last night.
I thought that even if there was no token today, the bandit’s warehouse had been looted, and the first person to be suspected was the black shadow from last night.
Knowing that they came prepared, she chose to take advantage of the situation and jumped in, with the aim of solving the hidden cancer.
Su Sijin sneered. Did he think that everything would be fine if he just pushed anyone out?
"What did you say? What do you mean the supplies in the warehouse disappeared?" The bandit leader grabbed the collar of one of his subordinates and asked angrily.
The subordinate lowered his head, trembling as he replied, "Second Commander is checking for suspicious individuals."
"Go find you quickly. If you can't find me, there's no point in you living." The boss kicked the man out.
The subordinates were so frightened that they scrambled away. The second-in-command, who returned, said angrily, "Brother, according to reliable information I received, the supplies in the warehouse were all there before that person came last night."
"The supplies disappeared after he arrived, brother. The supplies must have been stolen by that person when we weren't paying attention."
The big boss came up to one of them angrily, holding a big knife. "Great! You're robbing me! I'm going to chop you into pieces."
After the boss finished speaking, he raised his sword and was about to chop at the man, but was stopped by the second in command and failed.
The second in command advised, "Brother, if you kill him, the lifeline of the villa will be gone. It would be better to wake him up and interrogate him to find out where the supplies are. That would be the best option."
The Dadao family threw the big knife to the ground angrily and said, "Second brother, I'll leave this matter to you."
The second-in-command carried the man out of the lobby, leaving the substitute to bear the boss's wrath alone.
"Why did he suddenly change his mind and ask you to stand up for him? Tell me, where did the supplies in the villa go?" After the boss said this, he punched the stand-in several times.
The stand-in curled up on the ground with his head in his hands, passively enduring the punches and kicks, but kept shouting that he didn't know.
"He suddenly found me on the road and told me not to eat anything from the villa. He gave me five taels of silver and said nothing else."
"I only chose not to drink the water for the sake of the five taels of silver. Who would have known... If they had known... I would rather die than give up the silver."
After the stand-in finished his confession, he thought the boss would let him go, but how could the bandit Hu be a kind-hearted person? He raised his sword and chopped off the stand-in's head.
The substitute's head rolled in front of Su Sijin and collided with Su Sijin with his eyes open.
The boss's subordinates took the head out and dealt with the body. Then they heard the boss pointing at a few women, and she and Shen Tingyun were the women he pointed at.
All I heard was that the boss was selling them like merchandise, "These five women will be kept. The pretty ones will be sold to brothels, and the old and ugly ones will be sold to human traffickers along with the men."
The subordinate smiled flatteringly and said, "Master, the traffickers have been waiting for a long time, and the maids in the brothel can't wait to select the beauties."
The boss pulled Guo Yanling up, sniffed her, and looked at her as if he had never seen a woman in his entire life. He wanted to tear her clothes off immediately.
The boss was possessed by a demon and was about to leave with his men. "Take these four of them to my room, and you can handle the rest."
Just when the bandit Hu was about to attack Su Sijin, the dagger in Su Sijin's hand and the stone in Lu Changgong's hand attacked the bandit Hu at the same time.
The bandit Hu let out a scream and fell to the ground, with a dagger stuck in his heart and a hole between his eyebrows, from which blood continued to flow.
At the same time, Tang Peng, Jiang Hong, Xu Yongsi and Lu Changming joined the battle.
The sudden change made the boss pale with fear. Knowing that he had fallen into a trap, he blew a whistle and the bandits from all directions rushed towards the hall.
Su Sijin pulled out a dagger, jumped up, and executed the nearby bandit with a wave of her hand.
At the same time, Su Sijin threw powder upwards, scattering it wherever he went.
The boss saw his men falling one by one, then pushed Guo Yanling away and started fighting with Su Sijin.
