"Besides, we had a deal: I would show you my treasures, and you would take me back to see yours. You're going back on your word."
When Lin Yuxin heard that Nie Yuan wanted to back out, she was furious. She was heavily pregnant, even though it was only a little over a month, she was still a pregnant woman.
She was pregnant, and in order to earn some money for milk for her child, she followed bandits through mountains and rivers, eating worse than pigs and drinking worse than dogs. How could she not get something in return?
"But...but you didn't show us your treasure! So our deal doesn't count. Can you let us go now?"
Nie Yuan gritted his teeth in hatred at Lin Yuxin's self-righteous expression. What on earth did the Second Master order them to capture? If he had known earlier, he should have killed her back in the secret passage of the Cold Palace!
No, he might not have been able to kill her back then either; he shouldn't have brought her along in the first place!
Waaaaah, he regretted it!!
Nie Yuan is really suffering!
"How could I not see it! Isn't this it? This is my most precious treasure. I also have a smaller one, but I don't know where it is. I'll show it to you when I have the chance!"
Lin Yuxin blinked and pointed seriously at the black bear behind her that was tying people up with ropes.
That black bear is indeed her biggest pet, that's for sure.
Nie Yuan stared blankly at the black bear that was vigorously tying people up. Was this a treasure?
Nie Yuan watched as his brothers were bound tightly by the black bear, layer upon layer. Where the ropes couldn't reach, the bear would press them further in before starting to tie them up again.
He could hear a cracking sound, the sound of bones breaking.
Nie Yuan swallowed hard. He felt that Lin Yuxin had been lenient with him; otherwise, he would have been one of them too.
Finally, he dared not speak again. After the black bear had tied him up, Lin Yuxin suddenly ran back to the cave and left five taels of silver and a piece of paper with a letter written on it. She had to prepare for both possibilities.
The black bear was already with her, and Lin Yuxin didn't know that the tiger had returned, so she thought that without the black bear's help, it would be difficult for Li Xiaochen to find her.
So she left the note hoping that someone would pass on some information for the sake of the five taels of silver.
After finishing all this, he went outside and said to Nie Yuan:
"It's getting late, we should get going. You lead the way!"
Nie Yuan watched as the black bear tied several people together with a rope, then carried them in his hand, with Lin Yuxin sitting on his other shoulder. His lips twitched, but he still obediently walked in front, leading the way for the two big shots.
After those few woke up, they were all so frightened that they begged for mercy and never dared to have any more bad intentions.
Lin Yuxin also kindly healed their injuries. Along the way, they dug for medicinal herbs, hunted, and bought some food from the villagers they met. However, Lin Yuxin would not take it herself, so she let the eight of them carry it. Gradually, each person carried one bundle, and eventually each person carried two.
Lin Yuxin acted as if she were on vacation, walking around on the black bear's shoulders to enjoy the scenery, and sleeping on the black bear's belly at night. With the black bear protecting her, she wasn't afraid of the wild animals in the forest.
She was even less afraid of those people!
After traveling for five days, the group finally emerged from the deep mountains and arrived at Huabing City, south of the Zhao State.
Nie Yuan and his group chose to take the mountain path instead of the official road, which actually made it easier for her and Black Bear to move around.
Throughout the journey, Nie Yuan and his companions dared not speak out against their anger and endured it all.
Although Huabing City has the character "ice" in its name, it has nothing to do with ice. Huabing City is quite close to the sea; two cities further south lie the South China Sea.
Therefore, Huabing City was the largest maritime trading city in the Zhao state.
Although Zhao's seafood was not sold to other countries and was only consumed within its own country, it sold very well.
After descending the mountain, Lin Yuxin ostensibly sent the black bear back to the mountain, but in reality, she sent it back to her spatial dimension!
Old Hei and his men finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the black bear was gone; they no longer had to live in constant fear!
The way he looked at Lin Yuxin also emboldened him considerably.
Looking at the city gate of Huabing City again, they couldn't hide their excitement. They were home! They were finally home! They would never have to suffer such humiliation again!
Waaaaah! This journey has been so difficult!!!
"Come on! Lead the way. Now that we're in your territory, you should show us the proper hospitality, shouldn't you?"
Lin Yuxin looked at the several grown men, who were almost crying as they looked at the city gate, and couldn't bear to watch anymore! She quickly interrupted them.
"Come on, I'll lead the way for Miss Lin!"
Nie Yuan took a deep breath, forced a smile, and looked at Lin Yuxin.
They felt that now that the black bear was gone, they no longer needed to be afraid of Lin Yuxin. At this moment, only Nie Yuan looked somewhat better, and he hadn't yet shown any fierce glint in his eyes as he looked at Lin Yuxin.
Everyone else had a sour look on their face, and Lin Yuxin noticed, but she didn't care. She was in a good mood because she was sure her son's milk money would be covered!
She now sees Lao Hei and the others as if they were gods of wealth, and treats them with the utmost respect.
"Um!"
Lin Yuxin smiled and nodded, following behind Nie Yuan as they walked towards the city gate.
Old Hei and his men followed behind with dark faces, and entered the city together.
In fact, the stronghold of Jipu Village is not in the city. This city is just their base. This time, in addition to purchasing supplies, they also came to the village to send messages.
Lin Yuxin's situation was too special. Lao Hei and Nie Yuan discussed it and decided that they still had to send a message to the village in advance. Otherwise, if something happened when they returned, the chief would kill them!
They were quite thoughtful, but reality is always cruel.
