Chapter 1691 The Collapse of the Mountain Bandits
Xia Yi was the emperor's secret guard. Although she wasn't among the top-tier guards, her exceptional skills were undeniable.
With her help, taking Guo Laowu's life would be much easier.
After thinking for a moment, Meng Yunzheng agreed, "Okay, then you come with me."
After saying that, he looked at Shu Yu and said, "Yu, I'll leave things here in your care. I'll be back as soon as possible."
Shu Yu said seriously, "Be careful, safety first."
Meng Yunzheng tidied up, leaving all his medicine packets, including the poisons and antidotes, to Shu Yu. If someone broke in while he was away, these medicines might come in handy.
Meng Pei wanted to give his sword to Xia Yi, but she refused, saying, "I'll go find another one outside. Keep your sword for yourself; it's not necessarily safe here."
Meng Pei thought about it and agreed. He himself was injured, his brother was on the verge of death, Young Master He was out of martial arts skills, and the only one who was both capable and clever was Shu Yu. He couldn't rely on her alone.
He then put the sword away.
Without delay, Meng Yunzheng and Xia Yi immediately prepared to set off.
However, just as they opened the door, the bandits behind them suddenly broke down and shouted, "What exactly do you want to do? Huh?"
At first, he was confused, but as he listened, he became completely bewildered.
Why did Xia Yi know more than him? She wasn't at all like the timid and cowardly person she had been when she came out of prison. Just now, her aura was like that of a blood-stained assassin; for a moment, he even felt a little scared.
Also, wasn't Young Master Meng here to rescue his uncle? The man is right in front of them, why don't they leave?
What do you mean by "Manager Guo cannot be kept alive"? What are they trying to do? Do they intend to kill Manager Guo?
The bandit's head was buzzing, and his legs began to go weak. Seeing that Meng Yunzheng and Xia Yi were about to leave, he finally couldn't help but cry out.
Meng Yunzheng merely glanced back at him. "Can't you tell? You're going to kill someone?"
He, he, he figured it out! That's why he felt cold all over and his face turned pale.
"Behave yourself if you don't want to die." Meng Yunzheng coldly withdrew his gaze. Seeing that Xia Yi had already opened the door, indicating that there was no danger outside, the two of them slipped out.
Young Master He quickly locked the door, exhaled, turned around, and said, "Are we just going to wait like this? What do we do next?"
He was looking at Meng Pei, but Meng Pei was looking at Shu Yu, and Shu Yu... was looking at the bandit.
The bandits shuddered, silently shrinking into a corner, and asked warily, "Who...who are you? You're not here to rescue anyone, are you?"
First, they released wild beasts that tore the people in the black market apart. Now, instead of leaving after saving people, they're going to kill the black market manager.
The bandits suddenly realized that even if they led them the way and told them about the black market, they might not necessarily get the antidote in the end.
They were ruthless; if they could kill Steward Guo, they could certainly kill him too.
No, he has to save himself.
He had seen it all. Young Master Meng gave the antidote to the girl beside him. This girl... had a hidden arrow on her wrist. She was the one who shot him with an arrow in the first place, and her wrist was still bandaged with gauze.
He seems unable to fight back or save himself. What should we do?
Shu Yu just stared at him, noticing his eyes darting left and right, and raised an eyebrow, asking, "What, trying to play tricks, trying to steal the antidote? Do you even know which one is the antidote? You..."
