Ning Ye singled out the man who had spoken up, saying, "Brother, since you're just trying to make a living, why be so stubborn? If you tell the truth, I'll not only give you meat, but I'll also give you money so you can leave here and live a carefree life."
The dark-faced man spat out a mouthful of saliva, but luckily Ning Ye dodged quickly. "Hahaha, you think you can impress me with this little bit? Let me tell you, no way. I won't tell anyone, and neither will my brothers. You guys can kill me or widow me as you please."
Xiaoqing drew her longsword and said slowly, "Young master, according to the law, robbers who block the road are not to be judged dead or alive. Otherwise, let me finish them off, so as not to waste words here."
Xiao Qing approached step by step with a blank expression, her sword already pressed against the man's neck. Even though the others wavered, they still gritted their teeth and none of them were willing to speak.
This group is not bad; at least their loyalty is quite high. They are willing to risk their lives for their own people.
Ning Ye grabbed Xiao Qing's hand. "Forget it, if these people don't want to talk, then they don't have to. In the end, they're just a bunch of pitiful people."
Just then, a roar that echoed through the mountains and forests rose into the sky, and even the few birds that were flying in the forest seemed to scatter and take flight.
Ning Ye's eyes immediately lit up. The voice was incredibly deep and powerful, and it definitely sounded like the voice of a burly man.
A rustling sound came from the woods by the roadside, and soon a tall man rushed out. The clothes he was wearing were barely covering his body, but his enormous size was astonishing.
A height of 1.8 meters is already considered tall enough, but this man was already over 2 meters tall. Not only that, he was also extremely large, not the tall and thin type at all. He looked more like a small mountain.
The man rushed back towards Ning Ye and the others, carrying a wooden stick as thick as an arm, which, strictly speaking, should be the kind of stick used to block the door.
To describe Ning Ye's feeling about the dead in one sentence, it would be that they were like a demon lord descended from heaven, a veritable god of death on earth. This is no exaggeration.
The burly man roared, "Let them go!"
Finally, the long wooden stick swept across, and Ning Ye caught it with both hands without dodging or breaking free. He wanted to see just how strong this guy really was.
However, the moment those hands made contact, an unstoppable force surged from above, forcing Ning Ye to stagger back several steps before regaining his balance. The burly man was stunned, never expecting anyone to be able to withstand his attack.
The captured dark-faced man hurriedly shouted, "Big guy, run! You're no match for them! These guys are very strong!"
The big guy ignored everything and started swinging his stick again. This time, Sikong Changfeng couldn't stand idly by. He gracefully walked to the big guy's side and easily sealed all the acupoints on the big guy's body with a few sword thrusts.
Just when Sikong Changfeng thought the dust had settled, Da Caitou seemed unaffected and launched another fierce counterattack.
After taking several hits, Ning Ye felt his hands were completely numb from the shock; this guy's strength was truly terrifying.
However, after a few blows, the burly man turned pale and was panting heavily, looking as if he had not yet recovered from serious injuries.
Ning Ye quickly said, "Alright, alright, brother, let's stop fighting. I haven't killed any of your men. If you keep fighting, my guards might do something."
Upon hearing this, the burly man stopped, but his eyes were still fixed sharply on Ning Ye. "I know we made a mistake, but we had no choice but to release all my brothers. I'll let you go too."
Ning Ye chuckled and said, "Brother, there's something wrong with what you're saying. I just don't want to keep you here. If I wanted to, you wouldn't be anything special, and it would be like letting us go."
The burly man pushed the carriage to the side and said, "Although I can't beat you, destroying these two carriages is no problem at all. In this snowy and cold weather, the nearest place is over a hundred miles away. I don't believe you won't freeze to death."
"Brother, you were wrong to rob people on the road, and it's probably going to be hard to make a living like that, since nobody's having a good year. How about I give you a new opportunity?"
The burly man said warily, "I don't believe it. None of you rich people are good people. What you say and what you do are completely different. You are not worthy of anyone's trust."
Ning Ye, however, immediately ordered his men to release all the people they had just captured, allowing them to return to the burly man's side.
“I’m very sincere, and I really like you. If you stay by my side, I can guarantee you’ll have plenty of food and drink, and your family will never go hungry or cold here.”
The dark-faced man spoke up, "Whatever you say, how can we believe you? What if you're just lying and planning to wipe us all out?"
Ning Ye had Xiao Qing take a bag of silver from the carriage. "Here is one hundred taels of silver. Consider it a deposit from me. I have things to do now. If you still don't want to come with me when I return, consider this a gift from me. If you are willing, I will definitely keep my word."
After saying that, Ning Ye threw the silver to the burly man. The burly man caught it and found that it was indeed full of white silver. He took out a piece and took a bite of it without any pretense.
The burly man looked at Ning Ye with a complicated expression. "Aren't you afraid that if we really take all this silver away, you won't be able to find it at all?"
Ning Ye laughed heartily, “I never care about these things when I do things. Of course, if you think that staying here like a dog is what a real man should do, then you can pretend I was never here.”
Ning Ye and his group set off again, leaving only the burly man behind. The group was extremely excited as they looked at the silver in their hands, but unfortunately, the burly man was not so comfortable, because Ning Ye's words had indeed struck a chord with him.
But now this silver can indeed solve many problems. With silver, we can buy medicine and food, and save a few lives.
On the carriage, Su Wenyuan asked with some confusion, "Young Master Ning, these people who rob people on the road, what kind of credibility can they have? I'm afraid your money has been wasted."
