Chapter 666 Being Targeted by Mountain Bandits
The room is very small, with only a bed, a table, and even a single chair.
As Mianmian walked in, she glanced around and said, "I'll just make do here for tonight. Tomorrow, I'll walk a little further and then I'll be back in the capital."
As she spoke, she handed a silver ingot to the waiter.
The waiter left with a smile.
Mianmian sat on the bed and looked at it carefully.
The bed is hard, but the blanket is new, so it's not unsleepable.
Qing'er put down her luggage. "Mianmian, you'll sleep on the bed tonight, and I'll sleep on the floor."
Mianmian quickly stood up and said, "It's so cold on the ground, how can we go like this?"
As she spoke, she looked at the large bed behind her and said, "How about this, we both sleep in the bed, but you can use one blanket and I can use the other."
Qing'er almost thought she had misheard. "No, absolutely not."
Mianmian turned around and sat back on the bed, leaning back and saying, "What's wrong with that? Does Brother Qing'er not trust me?"
Her words prompted Qing'er to immediately retort, "Of course not."
Mianmian rolled over and lay on her side, saying slowly, "That's right, we're just staying for one night, no need to overthink it."
Qing'er stopped being coy and actually came to the bed.
However, he didn't sleep in the same bed with Mianmian as she had said; he simply took a blanket and spread it on the floor.
"I'm often in military camps, what's there to be afraid of in this chill?" Qing'er lay down on the ground before Mianmian could persuade her.
Mianmian sat up and called his name a few times.
He didn't answer.
She didn't call out again, and turned over to lie back on the bed.
The two had already eaten when they arrived at the inn, but they were so tired that they lay down and soon fell into a deep sleep.
late at night.
Inside a room of the inn, a group of镖师 (bodyguards/escorts) were gathered.
However, they were not bodyguards; they were bandits who had just robbed a caravan.
Dressed in the uniforms of镖师 (bodyguards/escorts), and carrying their goods, they were heading back to their old home.
"Did you all see that? The young ladies who came to the inn today are really beautiful."
A one-eyed man wearing an eye patch, with a toothpick stick dangling from his mouth, chuckled lewdly.
Today, when Mianmian and Qing'er entered the inn, they happened to be seen by them.
“The landmark is the landmark, but we need to get back to the mountain quickly and avoid any unforeseen complications,” a tall, thin man with a mustache said slowly.
This is their leader.
The blindfolded man sat up straight and said, "What's there to be afraid of? They're just a brat and a little girl. We'll make our move tonight and take them with us tomorrow."
The other younger ones chimed in, "That's right, it's quite a coincidence that our mountain stronghold is missing a wife."
The bandit leader frowned. "You'd better behave yourselves. If I say no, then no."
The blindfolded man refused to listen, as if he had long been fed up with his boss. "You have such strict rules. You forbid us from robbing money or women, and you expect us to pretend to be bodyguards and rob some useless goods on the road. Look at us, what kind of bandits do we look like? We still haven't had a good life!"
"Shut up! If you don't want to follow me, leave now!" the bandit leader roared.
The blindfolded man, enraged, abruptly stood up. "Fine, I'll leave!"
The bandit leader lit a pipe and stopped looking at him.
The blindfolded man walked to the door, turned back to the other brothers and said, "If you want to eat and drink well, come with me."
Those people looked at each other, then gradually came up behind the blindfolded man.
"Boss, look, they're all leaving."
The bandit leader didn't care. "If they want to leave, I won't stop them. Let them go."
"Fine, you said that." The eyepatch-wearing man said coldly, calling out to the men following behind him, "Brothers, now follow me!"
He strode out the door, followed by a group of bandits.
Before long, most of the people in the house had left.
The bandit leader extinguished his pipe, stood up, and said to the remaining men, "Those of you who chose to stay, come with me back to the mountain tonight."
They asked in confusion, "Aren't we supposed to go back tomorrow morning? Why are we leaving now?"
The bandit leader looked out the window and said slowly, "That kid wants to start his own gang. There's no point in us staying here any longer. We'll just leave the loot behind."
The others were still puzzled, but they all trusted their leader very much. Before long, they packed their things and left the inn that very night.
The other blindfolded man watched as his boss dropped his things and left, and he thought smugly, "See? He's afraid of me!"
"It's good that he's gone. Today I'll kidnap that young lady, and tomorrow we'll be the bosses on another mountain!" he said with great fighting spirit.
The others echoed, "Yes, we'll go our own way and stop following him."
The blindfolded man grinned smugly. After his men calmed down, he ordered, "Let's go, we'll go to the young lady's room now."
They laughed and walked towards Mianmian and Qing'er's room.
Mianmian and Qing'er did not bring any servants or attendants with them when they went out this time.
Firstly, they were afraid of being too conspicuous, and secondly, Qing'er's identity was special.
Mianmian was asleep in the middle of the night when she suddenly felt someone outside the house and opened her eyes abruptly.
At that moment, the blindfolded man outside the door took out a sleeping powder and put it inside.
Mianmian quickly sat up.
Qing'er came to her side and immediately covered her mouth and nose.
"Shh, don't speak, there are people outside."
Mianmian opened her eyes wide and nodded repeatedly.
