After speeding all the way, Yun Zheng finally arrived at Baihua Valley.
The stronghold of this gang of bandits in Baihua Valley was very simple.
It is called a mountain village, but in fact it is just a big cave with some stones piled up as walls outside and a simple wooden door.
You can tell at first glance that this gang of bandits is not doing well.
But it was this group of bandits who captured Shen Luoyan and his group!
It is estimated that the group of bandits who occupied the mountain stronghold have been killed.
The person staying in there now must be someone who wants to kill me!
Damn it!
I was careless!
I didn’t expect that the Shen family had a spy!
...
...
"I failed to protect the princess, please punish me, Your Highness!"
Seeing Yun Zheng, Feng Yu and Zuo Ren immediately apologized with shame on their faces.
"It's none of your business. Others planned this."
Yun Zheng shook his head slightly and asked, "How many people are there in there?"
"No more than twenty people!" Feng Yu replied immediately.
So little?
Yun Zheng frowned.
With such a small number of people, they were able to take down Shen Luoyan and the others. It seems that this group of people is quite powerful!
How can we rescue Shen Luoyan and the others?
Besides, you have to ensure your own safety!
The hidden weapons Miaoyin gave him contained only twelve poison needles in total!
Even if I kill one of them with one shot, I can't kill all of them!
Yun Zheng tried hard to think of a countermeasure, and at the same time shouted to the people in the cave: "I am here, don't you want to talk to me? Why don't you dare to show up?"
As Yun Zheng finished speaking, a bandit poked his head out timidly.
"Brother said...said, let...let the prince...come in alone to talk..."
The bandit stammered as he spoke to Yun Zheng, seeming very scared.
Um?
Yun Zheng frowned secretly.
What does this person mean?
He dared to kidnap his princess, and now that he's here, he's scared again?
Or was he pretending to be scared?
Do you want to let your guard down and go in and talk to them alone?
"dream!"
Before Yun Zheng could speak, Feng Yu angrily refused, "I don't care who you are, release the princess immediately! If anything happens to the princess, you will be killed along with your entire clan!"
After hearing what Feng Yu said, the bandits became even more frightened and felt like they were about to cry at any moment. They kept winking at Yun Zheng and the others, looking as if they were being coerced.
Seeing this, Yun Zheng couldn't help but frown even more tightly.
What's going on?
Is this man really a bandit?
The real owner is threatening him in the cave?
Something is wrong!
After a brief thought, Yun Zheng said in a deep voice: "Tell your eldest brother that I must first ensure the safety of my princess! If I can't see my princess, nothing else can be discussed!"
The robber retracted his head, obviously trying to pass on a message.
Yun Zheng deliberately raised his voice again, and with a frosty face, he ordered Feng Yu: "Prepare some firewood! If they really don't come out, set them on fire!"
"Your Highness, the princess is still inside!" Feng Yu hurriedly reminded in a low voice.
"Nonsense! I know!"
Yun Zheng glared at Feng Yu and whispered, "I am just trying to scare them. If that doesn't work, light a fire and use the thick smoke to cover our people as they rush in to rescue them!"
After understanding Yun Zheng's intention, Feng Yu immediately ordered people to prepare.
Soon, the bandit poked his head out again and wailed with a sad face, "Big brother said that as long as the prince comes in, he... he will release the princess immediately..."
"Do you think this king is a fool?"
Yun Zheng angrily shouted, "I have said that if we cannot ensure their safety, then we can forgo all discussion! Also, tell your eldest brother that as long as she releases the princess now, no matter who sent him, I will forgive him and give him a large sum of money so that he can live the rest of his life without worries!"
Upon hearing this, the man immediately turned his head back to pass on the message.
Soon, the man poked his head out again and said hesitantly, "Brother... I just want to talk to the prince alone..."
The man's face was pale, and he felt more miserable than if his father had died.
It felt like he would burst into tears any second.
Yun Zheng is now basically certain that this man is the bandit who was coerced.
Maybe there was someone in the cave pointing a crossbow at him!
So, the real owner in the cave probably didn't bring many people with him?
If it really doesn't work, there is still a chance to give it a try.
"Then let your eldest brother come to the door to talk!"
As Yun Zheng spoke, he ordered everyone to put down their bows and arrows to show their sincerity.
The man had a sad face and wailed, "Brother, let the prince come in to talk..."
"I won't be so stupid!"
Yun Zheng's face suddenly fell, "Either, let me see the princess first! Or let your eldest brother come to the door to talk! My patience is limited, don't force me to do it!"
damn it!
You let me in without even seeing anyone?
It's obvious that he wants to kill me!
So, what's going on with the people in here?
He must be able to hear what I say outside!
But why did he still have someone stand at the door as a messenger?
The person inside can't be a mute, right?
What on earth is this person thinking?
Just as Yun Zheng was racking his brains to think, two bandits came to the door with Shen Luoyan, who was tied up.
Shen Luoyan's mouth was stuffed with cloth.
The two bandits almost completely hid behind Shen Luoyan, fearing that Yun Zheng would order his men to shoot arrows.
“Mmm…”
Shen Luoyan wanted to speak, but her mouth was stuffed with cloth and she couldn't speak at all. She could only shake her head desperately, obviously signaling Yun Zheng to leave her alone.
Yun Zheng couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw this.
in spite of?
This is the princess he married legitimately, how can he just ignore it?
The two men just glanced at Chen Luoyan in Yun Zheng's eyes and then pulled Chen Luoyan back.
"My eldest brother said: Your Majesty...can you come in and talk now?"
At this time, the person on the microphone stammered again.
Yun Zheng could clearly see that the man's hair was wet with sweat.
Obviously, the man was very scared.
Yun Zheng hesitated for a moment, then he made up his mind and said through gritted teeth, "Okay! Then I will grant his wish!"
The other party is too cautious!
He never showed up and wasn't even willing to talk to me directly.
They had so many people outside, but they had no chance of shooting the other side.
If they rush in like this, Shen Luoyan's safety will definitely be endangered.
Now, the only option is to take a gamble.
He bet that there were only a few people on the other side, and he should have a chance to use the hidden weapon given by Miaoyin to knock them all down by surprise.
"Your Highness, no!"
"No! I will never watch Your Highness take risks!"
"Your Highness must not take any risks!"
“…”
Everyone spoke out to dissuade him.
Gao He even grabbed Yun Zheng and prevented him from entering the cave.
"open!"
Yun Zheng shouted, and whispered, "I'll attract their attention, you send people to go around from the side, and take action when you find an opportunity!"
Gao He hesitated for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "If Your Majesty insists on going, please put on your armor!"
"good!"
Yun Zheng nodded.
By wearing armor, you can also buy them some time.
While Yun Zheng was putting on his armor, Gao He quickly sent a few people armed with crossbows to go around the cave from both sides.
Yun Zheng finished dressing and hid the hand holding the hidden weapon in his sleeve.
Under the nervous gaze of everyone, Yun Zheng slowly approached the cave entrance.
When he approached the door, Yun Zheng stopped and looked around for a while.
After making sure that there was no one at the door, he walked in carefully.
At this moment, Yun Zheng's heart was in his throat.
Just as he was holding the hidden weapon tightly and preparing to launch a surprise attack, his body suddenly froze, and he looked into the cave with a dark face...
