The day came quickly, and Su Mu gazed into the distance, his mind heavy with worries.
"elder brother."
Su Wanting approached with the medicine, looking at Su Mu with a hint of concern, "Are you worried?"
Upon hearing this, Su Mu turned around, gulped down the medicine, and nodded. "Although everything has been arranged, I still have some worries."
After all, this is the day to decide the victor between myself and Deputy Liu!
Su Wanting thought for a moment, then comforted him in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, brother, there's still Xu Nian, isn't there?"
Over the past few days, Su Wanting and Xu Nian have become very close friends and can talk about anything.
Su Wanting now trusts Xu Nian completely.
Upon hearing Xu Nian's name, Su Mu's worried gaze softened considerably. "Indeed, with her around, I feel very at ease."
Since Xu Nian arrived, not only his and his younger sister's illnesses have improved, but the city has also been managed much better.
Su Mu was already considering what kind of gift to give Xu Nian after things were over.
"Lord City Lord!"
Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and a soldier rushed in, shouting, "The thieves are heading towards the city!"
Upon hearing the sound, Su Mu's body trembled involuntarily, and he then looked out the window.
Su Wanting immediately clasped her hands together and began to pray for Xu Nian.
"They're here."
Gu Zhan suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze deep and unfathomable as he stared into the distance.
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian immediately turned around and checked her surroundings.
Because of Su Mu's foresight, most of the people stayed at home, fearing that they would be affected.
This also allows Xu Nian and Gu Zhan to be less constrained.
The thieves were as rampant as locusts entering a grain field, about to wreak havoc, when suddenly someone spotted Xu Nian and shouted, "Boss, look!"
It's you again!
The bandit leader pointed at Xu Nian with eyes full of rage; clearly, the previous experience had not been forgotten, and he still felt a deep fear.
Xu Nian forced a smile. "It's me, so what?"
Faced with Xu Nian's attitude, the thief sneered, "This time I've brought all my brothers with me. Just wait and see how you'll be begging for mercy on your knees later!"
Hearing his threatening words, which were not much different from last time, Xu Nian was getting tired of them. She impatiently rubbed her wrist and asked, "Are you done talking?"
[Wow, the streamer is so handsome! He looks like a heroic figure!]
Putting everything else aside, this thief is really funny; he just keeps repeating the same old things.
[The streamer thoroughly slapped him in the face!]
"you!"
The thief was clearly provoked by this attitude and immediately turned to his men, saying, "Half of you attack that man, and the other half, follow me and attack this woman!"
Because of the large number of people, Xu Nian had been casting spells in advance, preparing a talisman that could bind everyone.
Gu Zhan, needless to say, is a god of war; how could he be disturbed by these petty thieves?
"Go!"
At the bandit leader's command, both sides went to war.
Gu Zhan was like a killing Buddha, weaving through the crowd and knocking everyone to the ground, making them howl in pain.
Xu Nian, on the other hand, took a simpler and more direct approach. He slapped out the talisman he had prepared with his backhand and then immediately stuck on a yellow talisman.
Suddenly, a barrier-like contraption trapped the arrogant and domineering thieves.
"What's this!"
The thieves scattered in panic, but they had no way to escape the barrier and were trapped inside.
Time flowed slowly, and in less than a quarter of an hour, Xu Nian and Gu Zhan returned to their original positions.
The final result was obvious: the entire gang of thieves was captured.
Xu Nian threw out a talisman, which transformed into a rope, binding them tightly.
"Let me go!"
The bandit leader roared in frustration, his eyes filled with terror.
They were ordered by Deputy Liu to cause a ruckus, but now they're being restrained like this!
Thinking of Deputy Liu's ruthless methods, the thieves trembled and tried to escape.
But Xu Nian wouldn't let them succeed. She struck down a talisman, and everyone was immediately unable to move.
"I captured you alive to get some answers. If you cooperate honestly, I will let you go."
Xu Nian calmly crossed his arms and stared at the bandit leader.
"Impossible, we absolutely will not tell!"
The bandit leader had more or less guessed what Xu Nian was thinking, and immediately shook his head, saying, "If I tell, I'll definitely die a horrible death!"
"oh?"
A smile suddenly appeared on Xu Nian's face. She made a talisman with her hand, and a blazing flame immediately rose from her hand.
"If you don't talk, you'll die a much worse death." She approached step by step, her face resembling that of Satan.
The bandit leader was so frightened he almost wet himself. He kept shaking his head, nervously staring at the flames, afraid he would be set on fire.
However, he was very conflicted and kept his mouth tightly shut.
Seeing this, Xu Nian narrowed her eyes, placed her hands close to his face, and the flames instantly devoured the surrounding air, making his whole body extremely hot.
"I'll talk, I'll talk!"
He could no longer bear the torment and cried out, begging for mercy, "It was all Deputy Liu's orders that led us to do this!"
Suddenly, Xu Nian turned around and looked at Su Mu, who had arrived early.
Let's draw up a written agreement.
With a gloomy expression, Su Mu handed him the written agreement that had already been prepared.
Left with no other option, the bandit leader could only awkwardly sign a written agreement and cautiously ask, "Can you let me go?"
Xu Nian tightened the rope, smiling broadly, "Not for now, but I keep my word."
The bandit leader stared at Xu Nian nervously, and said thoughtfully, "When Deputy Liu arrives and sees this scene, what will his reaction be?"
Upon hearing this, the bandit leader immediately lowered his head, looking utterly dejected.
He didn't know how Deputy Liu would react; he only knew that even if he escaped, he would definitely not have an easy time!
Xu Nian simply moved a stool next to him, "He'll get impatient in a little while, then it'll be up to you."
She tossed the rope in her hand to Su Mu, then closed her eyes to rest.
The large-scale capture of thieves just now has indeed depleted her magical power considerably.
Gu Zhan had been with her for a long time and naturally noticed that Xu Nian was a little tired. He took the initiative to walk over and stand beside her, his gaze deep.
Su Mu looked at them curiously, secretly guessing about their relationship.
After a moment, Deputy Liu indeed walked over with a smile on his face.
"Lord of the city, I heard that the thieves are back again. It seems you are not prepared to deal with them!"
He arrogantly approached, looking down at Su Mu and accusing him, "It seems I've won this half-month agreement!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Deputy Liu sensed that something was off about the atmosphere.
He looked over in surprise, and then froze on the spot.
All the thieves were captured alive!
"What, what's going on?!"
