The bandits all twitched.
Xing'an suddenly remembered something, and he asked her with a smile, "What did you just say you married a long time ago?"
Zheng Quchi forced a smile and said, "Actually, if I had joined you earlier, I could have made a contribution to us sooner. Although I am not good at hand-foot skills, I can still do other things."
"You really want to join us?" Xing'an asked her again to confirm.
Zheng Quchi answered without hesitation, "Yes."
After she finished answering, Xing'an's eyes suddenly changed subtly. Although it was fleeting, Zheng Quchi did not miss it.
It was a kind of playful, wicked humor mixed with a mysterious, dark darkness that she couldn't understand, like falling into the deep sea, a mysterious unknown.
"Xing'an, the people have arrived."
A bandit in charge of reconnaissance ran down the slope.
Xing'an turned his head, his expression instantly changing to a greedy and ferocious look: "They've finally arrived. We're all ready here. All that's left is for everyone to be on standby for orders. Disperse!"

At that moment, Xing'an and the bandits had their own arrangements and plans, and scattered in all directions. Zheng Quchi saw that everyone had left in the blink of an eye, so he asked Xiao San, "What about us?"

"But... but are we just going to leave like this? I think we should follow them..."
Before she could struggle, Xiao San and Xiao Qi grabbed her arms and went to find a place to hide.
Along the way, the two men dragged her towards secluded places like headless flies, but Zheng Quchi had her own ideas. She had to find a way to leave a secret signal to recognize Wang Zebang and also to leave him the location of the bandits' den.
"Wait a minute, that spot over there is pretty good. It offers a good view, allowing you to hide and scout out other people's movements in advance."
Zheng Quchi stopped them and pointed to a spot. It was a hillside with several hawthorn trees and scattered rocks around them, a good, secluded place.
"Okay, let's hide there for now."
The three of them hunched over and nestled behind a rock, then parted the branches and leaves. From this vantage point, they could see the passageway leading down the slope to the canyon.
It was already dark.
Before long, a group of people came from the west, carrying torches. The number of people was not very clear due to the dim light, but there were two carriages in front, surrounded by cavalry and followed by guards.
This doesn't look like an ordinary business caravan.
