"That's right, sir. A general amnesty won't do us any good."
Seeing everyone complaining, the man in white calmly persuaded them, "Brothers, do you want to be bandits who rob houses for the rest of your life? Even if you think this is the way your life is, what about your children?"
When everyone heard this, they all lowered their heads and stopped talking.
"I want the court to grant amnesty to the whole world, which of course includes pardoning our sins. Then, we can live upright lives and let our next generation have a good future."
"Boss, we'll talk about the future later. Anyway, I want to take all the things from the wealthy businessman who came from Nanjing this time."
The second in command has scars all over his body. He is a veteran in the village and is nicknamed Flying Rat.
He was greedy for money and lustful, and he had no wife or children, so he was ruthless in his actions and never thought about the future.
"I say again, while I am discussing amnesty with the court, no one is allowed to act rashly. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."
The man in white's face darkened, and he walked away after saying those harsh words.
The flying mouse looked at his receding back, snorted heavily, and left.
In the afternoon, it really started to rain. Although it wasn't heavy, it made the road muddy.
Several large trucks were moving forward with difficulty on the road.
The porter shouted his convoy's might, and the flag on the cart fluttered proudly in the wind. They gradually walked into the narrow path.
At this time, hundreds of robbers armed with steel knives emerged from all directions, and the two sides started fighting without saying a few words.
The escort agents of the escort agency fought hard, but they only had time to take away the head of the family and the female relatives. The cars filled with valuables fell into the hands of the robbers.
The flying mouse went forward and opened the box. The jewels and gold and silver inside were so dazzling that he could not open his eyes.
"Second Boss, if we do this and the First Boss finds out..."
"What are you afraid of? I brought so much silver up the mountain, he almost knelt down and begged me..." Fei Tianshu didn't finish his words and frowned.
Since that self-righteous guy doesn't want them to go down the mountain to do business, why should he hand over these things?
Thinking of this, Fei Tianshu ordered the box to be tied up again, and went up the mountain with two servants and a maid.
However, he did not go back to the village directly, but hid his things and people on another hill.
Late at night, Sun Jinyao climbed out of the box, immediately opened another box, and helped Shangguan Wanning out.
"How is it? Are you okay?"
Shangguan Wanning rubbed her almost numb shoulders. "I've been in the box for a whole day. My bones are almost broken."
"Miss, I've already told you that you can leave these matters to me and Brother Sun. You don't need to come here in person."
Huo Gang also jumped out from the alley on the other side, stretched his muscles, and yawned loudly.
"But I didn't expect that they had internal conflicts and we were not sent to the village as originally planned. It seems we have to find a way out on our own."
“That’s good too.”
Sun Jinyao was originally worried that this plan was too risky. What if there was a careful person among the other party who insisted on opening all the boxes for inspection, they would be easily exposed.
After all, they were only covered with a thin layer of jewels.
Huo Gang immediately made a torch and led the way in front, Shangguan Wanning walked in the middle, and Sun Jinyao brought up the rear.
The three of them followed the traces left by the group of people and finally arrived at the center of Wanchong Mountain.
The houses here are neatly arranged and heavily guarded, so it seems that it is not an easy task to find Ge Shuyan's whereabouts.
"Is it him?"
Huo Gang saw a man in white walking across the grass with a tray in his hand. He recognized that the man in white was the one who led the kidnapping of Ge Shuyan at the post station that day.
"Follow..."
"Wait." Huo Gang stopped Shangguan Wan Ning who was eager to try and said, "This person is very skilled in martial arts. If we follow too closely, we will be discovered. Let's go around him."
The man in white walked into a separate small building.
The area around the small building is very empty and there is no shelter or cover. If someone approaches, they will be easily discovered.
"Let's eat."
The man in white put the food down and saw that the lunch was still there unopened. He smiled lightly and sat down opposite Ge Shuyan.
"Princess, you haven't eaten for two days and two nights. Are you really going on a hunger strike?"
Ge Shuyan glanced at the man in white indifferently, smiled coldly and did not answer.
The man in white picked up some food for Ge Shuyan and said gently, "I have no intention of hurting you. As long as the court agrees to my conditions, I will definitely let you go. At that time, you will continue to enter the palace to be your imperial concubine, and what happened here can be regarded as a dream."
"I'm very curious about what exactly you want the court to promise you." Ge Shuyan stared into the eyes of the man in white, trying to find a clue from his eyes.
"It has nothing to do with you." The man in white said as he stood up. "Just eat your meal, or you will be the only one who suffers."
After saying this, the man in white left, waving his folding fan.
Shangguan Wanning and the other two waited outside for a long time. When they saw the man in white come out, they couldn't find a way to enter the small building without making any noise.
"We have to find a way to get the guards away first." Shangguan Wanning said in a low voice.
"I'll follow that man and see if there is any other way. You wait for me here." Sun Jinyao said.
"Brother Yao, you have to be careful."
"Um."
Sun Jinyao left, and Shangguan Wanning and Huo Gang observed the surrounding environment intently.
"Second in command."
The flying mouse walked over alone. Shangguan Wanning and Huo Gang looked at each other and both had an ominous premonition.
"The boss said you've been working hard these past few days, so he prepared some food and wine for you in the kitchen. Go have some supper first."
The dozen or so guards looked at each other in disbelief. "The boss said that someone has to guard this place."
"I know. I'm here to help you, aren't I?" Flying Mouse waved his hand. "Go ahead. We've prepared delicious food and wine tonight. It would be your own loss if you don't go."
When everyone heard this, they all ran towards the kitchen.
The flying mouse smiled coldly and walked into the small building.
A godsend.
"Miss, wait here for me, I'll go take a look." As soon as Huo Gang finished speaking, his figure disappeared in a flash, making Shangguan Wanning so angry that she stomped her feet.
Flying Mouse pushed open the door and saw Ge Shuyan sitting at the table eating silently. His eyes instantly widened and his gaze flew up and down, moving across Ge Shuyan's body.
"As expected... She is a pampered princess, so beautiful. No wonder... that boy wants to monopolize her all by himself..."
Ge Shuyan raised his eyes, with a look of disgust, put down his chopsticks and shouted: "Get lost."
