Chapter 730: One Thousand Taels per Person

Although Pei Chuyan doubted Lu Xingwan's identity, he was still worried about sending Lu Xingwan alone into a den of tigers and wolves, so he struggled to step forward and continue fighting with them.

While no one was noticing, Shang Zhi turned around and ran towards the bandits, pretending to be injured. The bandits naturally saw that he was injured, so they "accepted" him as well.

There is no reason to refuse the fat meat that is delivered to your door.

This guy seemed to be quite capable in fighting just now, but he is actually useless.

The goal was achieved. Shang Zhi winked in the direction of Ji Rong where no one else could see, signaling him to rest assured.

Pei Chuyan finally calmed down at this time. If Shang Zhi was here, it would be different. He had just seen his kung fu. Even if he was an ordinary person, his kung fu was enough to deal with many thieves.

Looking at those people who had given up their thoughts at this time, the bandits took Lu Xingwan and Shang Zhi and walked leisurely towards the bandit's nest on the mountain.

After they left, Qiong Hua quickly looked at Pei Chuyan and said, "With so many people, we still need help. Prince Pei, please send someone to the nearby camp to ask for help."

Pei Chuyan nodded and was about to give instructions to Lin Ji, but then he remembered that there were quite a few people who had just come. If Lin Ji alone came, he might not be able to invite them all. So in the end, he had to go himself.

"Lin Ji, you stay here to protect Master Ji and Miss Qionghua. I will go there myself."

Pei Chuyan said this firmly, not giving Lin Ji any chance to refute.

Lin Ji was in a dilemma. He stood in front of Pei Chuyan. His mission was to protect his own prince, but he had to listen to the prince.

While he was hesitating, Ji Rong stepped forward and spoke for Lin Ji: "Prince Pei, you should take Lin Ji with you! Miss Qionghua and I can protect ourselves here, and you should also take your secret guards with you."

Ji Rong naturally wanted to send Pei Chuyan and his group away.

In this way, he could go up the mountain with Qiong Hua and deal with those bandits together. If Pei Chuyan was there, they would have to find a way to deal with Pei Chuyan.

Saying that they were going to find the army was actually just an excuse to get Pei Chuyan away.

And from another perspective, if you want to get so many bandits down the mountain, it will still take some effort, so it would be better to let the army come forward.

They came, of course, to clean up the mess.

Pei Chuyan was worried and was about to shake his head, but unexpectedly Qiong Hua stepped forward and said, "Prince Pei, listen to me and take all your people with you. You don't know what you will encounter on the way. Ji Rong and I will be fine hiding here."

The scene fell into a long silence. After a moment, Pei Chuyan finally nodded.

What Miss Qionghua said makes sense. This place seems safe at the moment, but I don’t know the situation ahead.

If such a situation really happens again, I am afraid I won’t be able to handle it alone, and wouldn’t that delay the rescue of the princess?

Watching Pei Chuyan leave, Qiong Hua and Ji Rong breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at each other, and without saying much, prepared to go up the mountain.

Lu Xingwan and Shang Zhi were pushed and shoved up the mountain by a group of people.

Lu Xingwan rolled his eyes speechlessly in his heart. If he said these thieves were no good, they were indeed beasts. How could he not say that she looked like a little girl of five or six years old? How could they actually lay their hands on her?

The bandits proudly surrounded them and walked up the mountain happily. They were sure that they had caught a big fish this time.

Two.

After all, the clothes on Lu Xingwan looked very valuable, and looking at the jewelry on Lu Xingwan, it seemed that there was gold!

However, before meeting the boss, they dared not move.

This is the custom on their mountain.

Last time, a brother tried to steal the bracelet from a piece of fat meat, but was discovered by the boss, who beat the brother to death.

It is their rule to share happiness and hardships.

Soon, Lu Xingwan and Shang Zhi were brought in front of their boss. Lu Xingwan looked at the gangster boss in front of him with a little surprise.

In the stories she had read, or in her perception, the leader of the bandits should have a muscular face, fierce eyes, and a vicious look. He should also be sitting on a tiger-skin chair.

But I didn't expect that the man in front of me turned out to be so handsome, and the clothes he was wearing were quite elegant, and there was even a desk in front of him.

If you hadn't told me, I would have thought he was just an ordinary minor official!

But the gloom in his eyes made it impossible to ignore his true nature.

It seems that this bandit leader will be more difficult to deal with than he imagined.

I am not afraid of the enemy's strength, I am afraid of the enemy's brains.

Lu Xingwan raised her head and looked at him without any fear in her eyes. Shang Zhi was naturally not afraid either. He still had a nonchalant look and did not take the boss in front of him seriously at all.

The second guy standing next to her was exactly the same gangster that Lu Xingwan had imagined. He took a step forward with a ferocious look on his face and pushed Shang Zhi forward. He glanced at Lu Xingwan's expression and wanted to kick her, but thought better of it.

She has such a small body, thin arms and legs. If I really break her arms and legs with one kick, wouldn't it be worth a lot of money?

Besides, the boss always hated him for being violent.

"Boss! We won a great victory today. We caught these two little bastards. Look at them, they are fat and juicy!" His tone was full of excitement. He grinned and revealed a mouthful of uneven yellow teeth.

Lu Xingwan glanced at him sideways and leaned to the side. His breath was a little loud and she was afraid that it would stink her.

Later, I will show you how powerful this princess is.

The second brother was not affected at all. He continued, "There are still accomplices at the foot of the mountain. We have already told them to ask their families to pay money to redeem them. Each person will receive 1,000 taels of gold."

As he said this, his eyes flashed with greed, as if he had already seen piles of gold, silver and jewelry waving at him.

One thousand taels of gold per person, so for these two people it would be two thousand taels, which is enough for their expenses for a year.

Ever since the war between the Great Chu State and the Yuefeng State, the brothers have been living a miserable life.

In addition, Yuefeng State has now become Yong'an County and a vassal state of the Great Chu State. The people of Yuefeng State rarely go here.

This way, they would get even less profit, and now that they finally got their hands on such fat meat, they would naturally ask for more.

Thinking of this, the second brother felt a little regretful.

If I had known earlier, I would have brought those guys here as well. Each of them would be worth one thousand taels. Judging from their attire, five of them should be the masters. Those five guys would be worth five thousand taels.
