“Uncle Shen, you are injured!”
A soft exclamation sounded in his ears. Shen Wangchen hugged the person in his arms tightly, feeling the real body temperature coming from her body, and his heartbeat, which had been silent, began to beat again.
His throat rolled slightly. Hearing the movement behind him, he was unable to respond. He glanced back with murderous eyes and immediately reached out to pull out the sword that was stabbed in Su Jinrou's heart.
The long sword was pulled out, and more and more sticky blood gushed out from the wound.
Su Jinrou, who clearly sensed that something was quietly draining away from her body, saw Shen Wangchen holding Li Shengyi in one hand and holding a long sword in the other.
Her body softened and she fell, grabbing the other person's arm.
“Help, help me…”
Blood continued to flow out of her body and Su Jinrou's consciousness began to blur.
She was at a loss and used up her last bit of strength to look up at the man in front of her with pleading eyes.
But she didn't wait for the other party to come to her rescue.
On the contrary, after she heard the other party say "close your eyes with sincerity" in a deep voice, she felt a sharp pain in her arm again.
Shen Wangchen cut off her hand.
Before her consciousness completely dissipated, Su Jinrou's mind flashed again with Li Shengyi's words, "You don't understand the rules of this world."
However, before she could think it over and figure it out, she had already died while lying in the hay pile soaked in blood.
The one who brought the bandits to the woodshed this time was the second in command. He was a small man with a kind expression on his face, and he loved to laugh.
Li Shengyi had seen him in the main hall during the day, and had also seen his shrewd smile.
Now the second in command was standing in the woodshed, with a smile on his face as he led a group of bandits to force her and Shen Wangchen to the corner of the woodshed.
"Sir, you are injured. If you don't want to get hurt any more, I advise you to put the child down."
After hearing his words, Shen Wangchen tightened his arms around the person in his arms.
During this process, he accidentally pulled the wound and let out a barely audible groan from his throat, which made Li Shengyi's heart tremble.
"Uncle Shen, please put me down first. They know I'm the Prime Minister's adopted daughter, so they won't do anything to me."
"Put me down, then take the opportunity to escape. My father and Meng Jiuan are looking for me, right? Go meet up with them first, then come back to save me."
An anxious voice echoed in my mind.
Shen Wangchen pursed his pale thin lips, and it was a long while before he raised his eyes. It was unknown whose blood was stained on that baby face, and the expression on his face was actually a bit scary.
"Don't even think about it!"
The second in command must have known long ago that he would not let go of Li Shengyi. The smile on his face deepened, and he rubbed his hands together. His frown showed that he had ill intentions at the moment.
"Sir, don't be impulsive. This entire mountain is mine. If you want to escape with this baby, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky."
"However, let's make a deal. I know you're holding the Prime Minister's daughter. Go back and tell your master."
"Then let him take the 100,000 taels of gold and leave it at the foot of the mountain. Once the brothers get the goods, we'll naturally release the baby. What do you think?"
"One hundred thousand taels of gold! Even if you cut me up and sold me, I wouldn't be worth that much!"
Li Sheng had seen people asking for too much before, but he had never seen anyone asking for as much as this.
One hundred thousand taels of gold, this bandit would never be able to use it all in ten lifetimes, right?
Shen Wangchen did not answer, but after the person in his arms screamed, he patted her on the back, signaling her to calm down.
"I can have 100,000 gold, but what if you don't keep your promise?"
The snowy night is as bright as day.
The candle in the lantern that Su Jinrou brought to the woodshed had long been extinguished.
Because of the roof, the expressions on everyone's faces didn't look very real.
The second in command relied on his tone to guess what Shen Wangchen was thinking at the moment, and before long, his laughter could be heard again in the woodshed.
"Don't worry, sir. We never do things without saying anything..."
The cold sword blade brought with it a disgusting smell of blood that rushed into his nose.
The second in command's eyes suddenly widened, but he was only surprised for a moment, and the corners of his lips never dropped. "Sir, what are you doing?"
"Let us leave, otherwise, not to mention the 100,000 taels of gold, you will all die here today."
There was a hint of hoarseness in Shen Wangchen's voice.
Only Li Shengyi, who was in his arms, knew that he must have been seriously injured on the back, otherwise why would his arm, which was holding her tightly, be trembling slightly at this moment.
He became more and more anxious, remembering that he and Meng Jiuan had just been injured when Zhao Gan led his troops into Beijing some time ago.
It is still unknown whether his injuries have healed at this time, and now he has another wound on his back.
He wanted to tighten the little fingers on his back, but was afraid of hurting his wound. Li Shengyi didn't even dare to think about it.
I was afraid that if I thought too much, it would affect him and hurt him again.
The second in command was threatened, and the bandits inside and outside the woodshed held their breath.
Everyone clenched their weapons tightly, and there was a hint of murderous intent in their eyes as they looked at Shen Wangchen.
"If you let us leave now, not to mention the 100 taels of gold, as long as the young master is not injured today, the Prime Minister will definitely not make things difficult for the Black Wind Village."
The hoarse voice sounded again, and Shen Wangchen's eyes stared straight at the person in front of him.
It seemed that if he dared to shake his head, the sword in his hand would cut off his head.
The Second In Command laughed, his eyes gleaming slightly in the darkness. "Young Master, you have great skills. I never thought you would dare to break into Black Wind Village alone, and be so brave."
He raised his hand slightly and gestured to the brothers behind him, "Stand away and let this young master leave first."
"Second Master, this is absolutely unacceptable. If we let them escape, they will come with their own troops..."
"Shut up!"
The man's stern shout interrupted the worried words of the brothers behind him.
The second in command turned around with a smile, he looked down at the long sword on his neck, turned slightly sideways, and made a "please" gesture to Shen Wangchen and the others.
"Sir, the way down the mountain is this way."
[This guy is obviously a smiling tiger. Uncle Shen, don't believe him. He will definitely attack us.]
"Uncle Shen, please put me down. I can run by myself. Your hands can't hold me up..."
"Shut up!"
When Shen Wangchen's voice sounded, not only the second in command and the bandits next to him were stunned.
Even Li Shengyi was stunned.
She blinked, put her little head on his shoulder, said "oh", and then no more thoughts came to her mind.
With a cold face, he walked out of the woodshed holding the person in his arms. After the two of them walked out of the group of bandits, Shen Wangchen turned around and saw the second in command standing in the snow, smiling at him and pointing the way down the mountain.
