The moment the bandit fell, it was as if the fuse had burned to the end, instantly igniting the anger in the hearts of the bandits who came to surround Li Shengyi and the other man.
The mountain wind brought heavy snow, which further blurred people's vision.
Li Shengyi narrowed his eyes and looked at the bandits rushing towards him. His lips, which were frozen purple, opened slightly, "There's really nothing we can do to you. Then we must return alive."
Shen Wangchen seemed to have not expected her to say that.
His facial features had been tense all the way, but when he came back to his senses, his pale purple lips instantly lifted up into a smile, "Well, Daddy will definitely protect Shengyi for the rest of his life."
"Not even a year, a month, or a day less."
As he was speaking, the bandits had already drawn their swords and rushed forward.
The arms that had been frozen stiff became active again. Shen Wangchen gripped the sword tightly in his hand, and with a slight movement of his wrist, the sword flower cut the falling snowflakes into two pieces.
Holding Li Shengyi in one hand and wielding the sword with the other, his movements would inevitably be hindered.
He did not complain at all, but just took two steps back when the bandits approached.
"Don't move!" A soft shout rang in his ears, "There's a cliff behind us."
The thousand-foot cliff doesn't seem that high in the white snow.
Li Shengyi glanced down, but the dizziness made her quickly look away.
There are wolves in front and tigers behind. No matter which step they take, there will only be one result in the end.
--die.
When she turned around to look at the bandits chasing her and saw the smug smiles on their faces, her heart sank.
"If I die, you won't get a single cent of the 100,000 taels of gold. Not only that, my father and the others won't let you go either."
"Now I have two options for you. One, I jump off the cliff and you die."
"Second, I can go with you. I can give you 100,000 taels of gold, and you can still survive."
The tender voices of children echoed throughout the mountains and fields.
After hearing what she said, the new leader couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Baby, it is indeed what I want to take you back. I also really want the 100,000 taels of gold."
"It's just that I can't keep the person next to you."
The tip of the broadsword pointed directly at Shen Wangchen's face. The big boss smiled with his teeth showing but his eyes not showing. "Don't blame me for being cruel. This guy is even more cruel. He killed so many of my brothers. It shouldn't be a problem for me to take his life, right?"
"We are all wandering the martial arts world. One life for another. Young Master, you killed so many of my brothers, and I only want your life. It is fair."
A rough voice sounded, and the bandits following the boss nodded in agreement.
The price they paid for 100,000 taels of gold was really high.
But one hundred thousand taels of gold is really tempting. Even if it costs more, it is worth it as long as I am still alive!
For a moment, greed became more and more obvious in everyone's eyes when they looked at Li Shengyi.
Li Shengyi originally wanted to use the opportunity of discussing with the man to ask him to take Shen Wangchen back with him.
But when she heard that they wanted to take Shen Wangchen's life, the expression on her face froze, and then her face changed.
"In that case, I won't give you these 100,000 taels of gold."
After hearing what she said, the boss was stunned for a moment, and the next moment, he burst into laughter.
"I can give up these 100,000 taels of gold, but do you really dare to jump? Little kid, you are indeed smart, but no matter how smart you are, aren't you still surrounded by us now?"
"I can see that you are a man who values friendship. If you weren't the Prime Minister's daughter, I would have wanted to keep you in the village and train you as the next village chief."
"It's a pity that you don't have much courage. At such a young age, you're still threatening to commit suicide. It's really interesting."
The boss didn't take Li Shengyi's words of jumping off the cliff and burying the entire Black Wind Village with him seriously at all.
In his opinion, Li Shengyi was indeed smart, but she was still young, while Shen Wangchen, who was holding her, was not young anymore.
The relationship between the two must be that of master and servant. If they jump off the cliff together to commit suicide, it would be too disadvantageous.
This is a losing deal, and he would never jump down.
It was just the death of a close confidant. The child was young and didn't remember anything. He would just cry for two days and then be fine. Why did it have to be like this?
Thinking of this, the big boss put down the big knife in his hand and continued to look at Li Shengyi with a smile, "Well, baby, what do you think about it?"
"I'm taking you away, sir... I can only apologize."
Li Shengyi ignored his words, she was discussing with Shen Wangchen in her heart.
Qin Songmo and Meng Jiuan's troops have not arrived yet. Perhaps they are already at the foot of the mountain, or perhaps they are still on the way.
She didn't dare to bet on this.
So at this time, there were only her and Shen Wangchen, and they could only rely on themselves to break through the siege.
[How about you put me down and we try to make a feint to the east and attack in the west?]
"You run to the right, I'll run to the left. Let's get away from this cliff first. If there's any danger later, it's both our lives at stake."
[Thinking about it, it's quite exciting. Don't worry. I may be young, but I've dealt with Su Jinrou and that incredibly weak Second Prince before. I have both the skills and the experience.]
Although it is freezing cold now and people can't help but shrink their necks, they can still warm up.
Li Shengyi moved her shoulders and hands, and at the same time, her eyes were looking to the left.
After Shen Wangchen listened to her heart, the first thought that flashed through his mind was disagreement.
These bandits exercise all year round. Although they don't have any physical skills, they have good physical fitness.
The little daughter in her arms...is indeed quite skilled. She even injured Chu Huaiyu and even cut his tendons in his hands and feet.
But he was still worried.
These bandits were not Chu Huaiyu. He was worried about letting her run around in the mountains, especially since there was a deep abyss behind them. What if she slipped...
Not daring to think about the possibilities that might happen next, he pursed his lips and whispered, "Do you believe me sincerely?"
"certainly!"
Li Shengyi answered without thinking.
Shen Wangchen raised the corners of his lips and smiled, “Trust me, just hold me tight, okay?”
Even though she didn't understand why he held her close to him, she did it anyway.
Afterwards, amid the exclamations and curses of the bandits, she finally understood why Shen Wangchen asked her to do that.
He took her and jumped off a cliff!!!
Li Shengyi felt her scalp tingle when she realized this. She had also done some extreme sports in her previous life, but she was wearing safety equipment at that time.
Unlike now, she only has Shen Wangchen all over her body!
She even forgot to breathe, and as her body kept falling down, the already strong mountain wind blew so hard that it hurt her cheeks.
Realizing that he was about to lose his grip on his neck, Li Shengyi quickly gathered his consciousness, and the knuckles of his fingers that were gripping his collar turned white.
