Fang Yuan glared at him: "What the hell are you talking about? If that corrupt official Feng Yong dares to come, I'll make sure he never comes back."
The third leader was a stutterer, and the more anxious he became, the more he stuttered. Seeing that his eldest and second brothers hadn't grasped the essence of his words, he was sweating profusely: "Ah...no...no...eldest...it's...you and second brother...brother...you killed...the magistrate...and ran away!"
Fang Yuan and Ma Lei belatedly realized they had been tricked, their eyes filled with disbelief.
"Third brother, are you saying that second brother and I are being arrested by the authorities?"
The third leader nodded firmly, signaling them to hurry up and leave.
Ma Lei plopped down on the ground: "It's over, bro...we..."
"Don't move!"
The door was kicked open, and Yan Que stormed in with his men, his face frosty: "You, Fang Yuan, you have the audacity to poison the county magistrate! Seize him!"
"Rock Sparrow, you fucking want to die?" Mare jumped up from the ground and slashed down with his palm.
Taliyah scoffed, "Overestimating yourself! You're asking for death! Shoot an arrow!"
"Swish swish!"
The archer had long disliked the robbers, and now that he finally had a chance, he would be a fool not to take revenge.
Without a word, Fang Yuan grabbed his broadsword and slashed at Xiang Yanque. "To catch a thief, first catch the king." This guy was too cocky and knew too much; he needed to be silenced first.
Yan Que's expression changed drastically. He grabbed the nearest constable and pulled him away, then leaped back, shouting, "Go! Take down these heartless bastards!"
"Bang!" The constable fell face-first into the mud. If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have become a victim of Fang Yuan's blade.
Pooh!
Taliyah is a piece of trash!
Rock Sparrow's eyes were dark and unfathomable. These damned trash.
Fang Yuan was unwilling to give up, and with his strength, he pushed Ma Lei out: "Let's go!"
Mare's eyes welled up with tears, and he gritted his teeth as he threw out a smoke bomb: "Boss, wait for me to get reinforcements!"
"..." Call for reinforcements? A pang of disappointment swept through Fang Yuan's heart. It was all his fault for being too greedy and ruining his brothers' futures...
Pooh!
Rock Sparrow spat fiercely, his whole body radiating ferocity, and commanded the archers to shoot down the bandits.
Fang Yuan, covered in blood, collapsed to the ground, his breath weak, glaring angrily at Yan Que, "You bastard!"
Rock Sparrow gave a sinister smile: "Fang Yuan, since your death was somewhat worthwhile, this constable will kindly tell you something."
"What is it?" Fang Yuan instinctively wanted to refuse, but could it be what he was thinking?
Rock Sparrow laughed loudly: "Didn't expect that, did you? Your second-in-command was actually... bribed by the county magistrate a long time ago... Haha... You bunch of pathetic worms!"
"No! No way, you can't possibly sow discord!" Fang Yuan spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes instantly dimming.
The rock sparrow cackled, stuffed the smelly sock into Fang Yuan's mouth, and smugly intended to return to the county office to claim credit. However, unexpectedly, a Cheng Yaojin appeared halfway there, and everyone disappeared, becoming one of the biggest unsolved mysteries in Qinhe...
Yan Family Village presents a completely different scene, with loving mothers and filial sons, which is very touching.
The five little ones, with tears streaming down their faces, surrounded Mo Qingcheng, chattering incessantly with questions.
"Mother, how could you leave us all behind?"
"Mother, are you abandoning us?"
"Waaah... Mother, Momo doesn't want to leave you..."
Bai Yunfei, Mu Wanqing, and Bai Ziming all had red eyes from crying. Mu Yunchuan shook his head, saying that women are just easily moved to tears.
Shangguan Yunxi blinked hard: "Mother, we've all grown up now. From now on... you can't hide things from us..."
Mo Qingcheng was slightly taken aback, then looked up and met the little girl's innocent eyes, and subconsciously nodded: "Okay!"
"Hmph! Liar!"
