This time, we left the city as originally planned.
However, Princess Ling said that she had already arranged for secret guards to protect him, so he didn't need to worry.
They also gave him a talisman, which would protect him from real injury even if he was attacked.
Shen Ke trusted Princess Ling very much, so he brought several attendants with him this time.
After finalizing the cooperation at the manor, Shen Ke led his men back to the city.
Midway through, a group of notorious bandits appeared and attempted to kidnap Shen Ke.
Shen Ke pretended to change his expression drastically and had his attendants protect him.
Suddenly, one of the followers who knew martial arts sprang into action, turned around and attacked Shen Ke, kicking him in the chest.
The force was immense; had it not been for the protective amulet on his body, Shen Ke would have suffered severe internal injuries.
However, he already knew that this person was a spy, and he had taken precautions as instructed by Princess Ling.
He bit open the small blood sac that Princess Ling had given him and put in his mouth, and blood spurted out.
He was sent flying backward by the kick and fell to the ground.
He was injured and fell to the ground, unable to get up, while everyone who had been fighting stopped.
Several of his followers surrendered without resistance.
Shen Ke clutched his chest, his face filled with disbelief. "You all betrayed me?"
The attendants looked somewhat dazed and remained silent.
The ringleader, a notorious bandit, laughed and said, "Isn't that obvious?"
"Boss Shen, we've heard you're quite wealthy, so we'd like to trouble you to come with us. Once your wife brings the ransom, we'll release you."
Shen Ke said, "Release me now, and I'll give you whatever you want."
The leader sneered, "If we let you go, what if you report us to the authorities? We're not stupid."
Then they had Shen Ke tied up and were about to put him on a carriage.
Just then, Lou Kui, who had planned ahead, rode his horse and led his men as if they were just passing by, and encountered these people.
