Chapter 135: You have to admit defeat
"The closer we get to Suzhou, the easier it will be. The terrain here is dangerous and suitable for ambushes. There are also a group of bandits in the mountains who can be blamed. It's a good place to kill."
Zhao Shen looked outside through the car window.
This place is very close to Suzhou and it also snowed there, but today the sky is clear and the sun is out, so there is no snow on the ground. Only a little bit of snow can be seen faintly in the shady areas of the mountains.
The valley was empty and silent.
Ji Yunshu peeked out the car window: "It's well hidden, there's no movement at all."
Zhao Shen said, "There will be no movement until we enter the valley."
Meng Tianshu listened to the conversation between the couple and felt a little uneasy: "Will we be okay?"
Ji Yunshu laughed and said, "Isn't it a bit late for you to ask now?"
Meng Tianshu said: "I should still have time to run now."
"You might not survive if you run out now."
As they were talking, the carriage drove into the valley, and the quiet valley finally had sounds.
Ji Yunshu looked at the group of people riding horses towards them and said with a smile, "They are coming so fast."
The carriage was stopped, and the leader on the opposite side said, "Life in Fenglai Valley is not so easy. Please trouble the young master and his wife to come down."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Gu Xing attacked the man without saying a word.
The man's skills were obviously quite good, and he was on par with Gu Xing.
Seeing this, the others also started fighting.
The two sides fought fiercely. Zhao Shen watched for a while and saw that Gu Xing was unable to take down the leader. He said to Ji Yunshu, "Stay in the car and don't leave."
After saying this, he stood up and got off the carriage.
Ji Yunshu held him down and said, "Your internal injuries haven't fully healed yet. Don't do that again."
Zhao Shen frowned: "If we keep dragging it out like this, we might not be able to reach the next place before dark."
It's already cold now, not to mention at night, so sleeping outdoors is definitely not a good option.
Ji Yunshu looked at the leader for a while, then said to Yin Ye who was guarding the carriage, "Go help the commander-in-chief."
Zhao Shen looked at her. He probably knew Yin Ye's skills and knew that she was definitely no match for that man.
Ji Yunshu explained, “When I left the capital, I brought some things that will come in handy.”
The pile of life-saving things Yichen gave her have not been used yet, and she also wants to see the effect.
Yin Ye really understood what she meant. He did not attack her head-on, but instead took the opportunity to go up and stab the man.
Although the wound didn't hit any vital parts, the man soon became slow in his movements.
Gu Xing finally gained the upper hand and teamed up with Yin Ye to capture the man.
When the people he brought with him saw that he was captured, they all stopped.
Ji Yunshu was surprised: "At least they didn't commit suicide after being captured. Are they real bandits?"
Zhao Shen nodded: "The bandits are real, and it's also true that there are people behind them, otherwise they wouldn't have the guts to provoke us."
"Are bandits so skilled?"
There are only a handful of people in this world who can't even win by themselves.
Zhao Shen's eyes showed deep thought: "This leader should have some background."
After fighting for a while, both sides suffered casualties, but overall, the bandits suffered greater casualties.
It can be seen that except for the leader, the others are nothing special.
The bandit leader felt dizzy and cursed angrily, "You actually put poison on your weapons. How despicable!"
Yin Ye slapped him directly: "You are just a bandit blocking the road, and you have the nerve to call others despicable?"
The bandit leader was slapped by her and his vision went black, but he still defended himself by saying, "I robbed with my own strength."
Yin Ye sneered: "I also relied on my own strength to poison. Since I'm out here, I have to admit defeat."
The bandit leader sneered: "Do you think you can win by using such despicable means?"
Yin Ye looked around and said with a smile, "Are you trying to say that you set an ambush?"
The bandit leader saw that she seemed to have known his plan for a long time. The fighting had stopped, but there was no movement around. He had a bad feeling in his heart.
Seeing that he remained silent, Yin Ye seemed to agree, so she continued, "I'm really curious. I poisoned you, and you thought it was despicable. And you blocked our way and ambushed us. Do you think you're so respectable?"
The bandit leader's face turned blue after what she said, but he had been poisoned to begin with and his complexion was not looking good, so it was not very obvious.
Gu Xing said from the side: "Why waste time arguing with him? We still have to hurry on our way."
Yin Ye shrugged: "I'm really curious."
Gu Xingdao said, "How can a man like him understand morality? He is just unwilling to fall into your hands."
He is also an expert and has some understanding of the experts' thoughts.
They tend to rely more on their own kung fu and look down on methods such as poisoning and sneak attacks.
Just like this bandit leader, he had clearly set an ambush, but because he was confident enough in his own skills, he chose to lead the charge himself.
He said this was sheer folly.
He went to the carriage and asked Zhao Shen: "What should we do with these people?"
Zhao Shen said casually: "Leave the leader here, and send the others to the government."
Gu Xing looked at the bandit leader and asked Yin Ye, "Is there an antidote to this poison?"
Yin Ye shook her head: "I don't know, the medicine was given to me by my wife."
Ji Yunshu, who was in the carriage, heard what they said and said loudly, "This poison is specifically designed to deal with masters of internal energy. It will temporarily make them lose all their internal energy and leave them powerless. Let's leave it at that for now."
Gu Xing also felt that this poison was just right, and was somewhat similar to the legendary softening powder in the martial arts world, but ordinary softening powder could not deal with masters.
He was about to order the rest of the people to be taken away when one of the bandits suddenly jumped up and slashed the bandit leader's neck with a knife.
The sudden change happened in an instant. When Gu Xing reacted, the man had already committed suicide with a sword.
Ji Yunshu, who witnessed this scene, said: This is a familiar smell.
Zhao Shen frowned and said, "Pack up and get going."
Soon the carriage started moving again.
Meng Tianshu felt like he was dreaming: "Is this the end? Those people are pinning their hopes on such a master?"
Zhao Shen glanced at him and said, "Of course not. I sent people to explore the way ahead of time, and the ambushers in the mountains have been eliminated."
Meng Tianshu immediately understood. No wonder they dared to enter the valley even though they knew there was an ambush.
It turns out that the crisis had been resolved long ago.
He couldn't help but ask: "What's going on with this group of bandits?"
It seems a bit silly.
"It should be used to explore the way."
Zhao Shen said with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Seeing that he had no interest in chatting with him, Meng Tianshu turned his attention to Ji Yunshu and asked, "What kind of poison is that that can completely destroy the power of such a master?"
Ji Yunshu said, "I don't know either. Someone gave it to me when I left home."
Among the pile of poisons Yichen had given her, this one was relatively mild.
There were still a few bottles of poison with words saying "Use with caution as there is no antidote," but she didn't dare take them out.
Meng Tianshu instantly became interested: "Who is it? A poison expert?"
"I guess so."
Ji Yunshu rubbed his forehead. This guy had too many problems.
Zhao Shen saw that Ji Yunshu was a little tired, and looked directly at Meng Tianshu: "Shut up, or get off."
Meng Tianshu's heart trembled at his cold gaze, and he said aggrievedly, "You are so cruel."
He also knew that it was a bit of an eyesore for him to squeeze into this carriage, but it was safe here.
