Li Shengyi never imagined that what could barely be called a family outing for three people would end up being a carnival for bandits.
Compared to the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the carriage she was "riding" at the moment was not stable, especially since the bandits had tied her limbs and thrown her into a wooden box.
The mountain road was difficult to travel on, and the wheels of the car kept hitting the rocks, causing the car to bump up and down, which was very uncomfortable.
Her mind was hazy because of the drugs she had taken. If the wheel had not hit a big rock just now, she would not have woken up at this moment.
Li Shengyi moved his limbs that were tied with hemp ropes and found that even the dagger hidden on his wrist had been taken away. His heart sank.
She still remembered that she, her father, and Uncle Shen had set out for the Huguo Temple this morning to burn incense for her grandmother and talk with her.
She also promised her father that she would complete her homework well in the future and asked her father not to complain to her grandmother.
The father and daughter also stamped each other's handprints, and then...
Then they encountered bandits on the mountain road. Because there were too many bandits, they did not bring many followers with them on this trip.
So the bandits took advantage of the time when her father and Uncle Shen jumped out of the carriage to fight and got on the carriage.
The carriage had been tampered with. She saw with her own eyes the walls of the carriage being pulled open, and soon her limbs were tied up and she was thrown into the wooden box.
This group of bandits came for her.
A bitter smile appeared on the corner of her lips. She thought that Li Shengyi had lived two lives and experienced many kidnappings, but she was always safe in the end. She didn't expect that she would encounter kidnapping even when she traveled through a book.
I just wonder if her father and the others would get sick from anger if they knew she was kidnapped.
After all, her father is weak, if anything happens to him...
A cold light flashed in his gradually misty eyes. Li Shengyi pursed his lips and did not make any movement.
She had a lot of experience in being kidnapped, and the more times like this happened, the quieter she had to be.
Otherwise she would cry and make a fuss, and would definitely be taught a lesson by these bandits.
Besides, she hasn't seen whether the person who kidnapped her is the same as she imagined.
The mountain road was bumpy, and Li Shengyi's head bumped against the wooden box from time to time. Even so, she couldn't control her drowsiness due to the drug. Finally, her eyes went dark and she fainted again.
Before she lost consciousness, she clearly heard the conversation of the bandits outside.
"Second Master, do you think that the First Master has really been tricked by that woman? Why did they leave the Prime Minister of Great Chu alone and instead capture this little kid?"
"Don't be like picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons by then. What's the value of this baby?"
"Shut up, what do you know? The boss naturally has his own ideas. Maybe this baby is extremely favored. I heard in the capital some time ago that there is a very favored young lady in the Prime Minister's mansion."
"The boss must be trying to threaten the Prime Minister with this..."
......
Winter in the capital is already cold, let alone in the mountains.
The snow, which would not melt throughout the winter and even for most of the spring, piled thickly on the mountaintops.
Even birds dare not come up here, for fear that they will be frozen to death while resting on the branches.
Li Shengyi was woken up by the cold.
There was no charcoal brazier in the woodshed where she was imprisoned, and the fox fur cloak she was wearing must have been taken away by the bandits.
Her hands and feet were tied together with a rope, and her limbs were tied behind her back. The bandits deliberately prevented her from moving.
Because she was lying on her side, one of her cheeks was resting on the haystack, which was a little itchy, but she couldn't reach out to scratch it.
This anxious feeling made her frown.
It seemed like someone was passing by outside the woodshed. Hearing the footsteps approaching, Li Sheng deliberately lowered his breathing and looked towards the door of the woodshed with bated breath.
In just a few breaths, she saw the door of the woodshed being pushed open and a sturdy figure walking towards her.
"Eat quickly so you can get going!"
It was the voice of the man called Second in Command on the way here.
The broken porcelain bowl broke into two pieces as soon as it was thrown to the ground. Li Shengyi looked at the steamed bun that rolled to the ground and his eyes twitched.
She raised her head, and her little face, slightly red from the cold, showed a bit of grievance. "Uncle, are you going to kill me?"
The second in command who came to deliver the food had done many evil things such as burning, killing and looting since he was a child. Seeing the look of wanting to cry on Li Shengyi's little face, he was not moved at all.
He didn't say anything, but just kicked the steamed bun at his feet in front of her.
Li Shengyi had never eaten a steamed bun that had been stepped on before. She blinked and continued, "Did you kidnap me for money? If so, you might not get the money if you kill me."
"Not only that, if my father knew anything happened to me, he would surround and suppress your mountain."
"I've been reading scriptures with my father recently, and there's a very good saying in it: 'The sea of suffering is endless, but turning back is the shore.' Uncle, do you want to..."
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Finally unable to bear the noisy sound in his ears, the second-in-command's face, covered with flesh, became ferocious.
He bent down and grabbed the collar of the person in front of him, saying in a rough voice, "Since you don't want to eat, then follow me."
Having my limbs tied behind my back and my collar being pulled was not a pleasant feeling.
Fortunately, the top of the mountain was not very big. In just half a minute, she was brought to a very simple hall made of wood.
There was a charcoal brazier burning in the main room, but it wasn't hot enough, but it was still much better than the woodshed.
Li Shengyi relaxed her ears which were almost frozen off. Before she raised her head to look around, a slight sound fell into her ears.
Very ambiguous, yet familiar...
She was so familiar with it that she could hear it almost every time she went to the palace.
The villain rolled his eyes silently in his heart, and when she looked towards the seat of honor in the direction of the voice, he couldn't help but sigh.
"The heroine's aura is indeed powerful."
The second in command beside her seemed to be used to it. He carried her to the middle of the main hall, waiting for the man and woman sitting at the upper seats to finish their business.
A moment later, accompanied by a soft cry from the woman lying on the animal skin on the upper seat and a rough growl from the man, the ambiguous voice in the main room finally gradually faded away.
Until the curtain of the upper seat was lifted, a man with a red face and a scar from the left eyebrow to the right cheek, wearing only his inner clothes, slowly stood up.
Perhaps he had just noticed that there were more people in the main room. He raised his left eyebrow and looked at Li Shengyi with a hint of excitement.
"Is this the young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
Seeing that he had finished his work, the Second In Command immediately brought Li Shengyi forward and said, "Yes, First In Command, please take a look."
Li Shengyi, who was originally grabbed by the collar, waited for someone else to stand in front of her. The moment her collar was released, it was grabbed by someone again from behind.
Li Shengyi, "If you want to kill me, just say so. Why torture me like this?"
