Chapter 433 Intercepting the Bandit Leader
The twenty children brought out by Lianyi were like frightened birds. When they heard the sound of horse hooves, they hid behind the carriage with pale faces. The young boy in the lead was relatively calm. He opened his arms and gathered all the children behind him, but his height and size could not stop everyone.
Lianyi's ears moved, and she said without turning her head:
"Mrs. Jane, please get in the carriage first! Coachman, please drive the carriage aside and don't block other people's way! All the little rascals, hide behind the carriage and don't make any noise for a while."
"Lianyi, be careful!"
Wang Zhenzhen just said one sentence and jumped onto the carriage.
Wang Yaozu was eager to get away from the battlefield, so he immediately led the horse, turned around, and quickly left the entrance of the canyon. The twenty children's faces were tense, and one pulled the other, trotting along with the carriage as it left its original location.
Lianyi took out a bundle of ropes from her personal space, tied it to the tree at the entrance of the canyon, held the other side in her own hand, and then hid in the crevice on the other side of the canyon entrance, ready.
As the sound of horse hooves became louder and louder, five or six sturdy black horses rushed out of the canyon.
Lianyi was waiting for this moment. She quickly pulled the rope tight, just in time to trip the two horses in front that were running with their hooves raised. The "crackling" sound of horses falling, the horses' painful neighings, and the screams of people immediately mixed together.
The horse behind that was not tripped by the rope immediately stood up under the pull of its owner, stopping the inertia of the collision.
Lianyi then dropped the rope in his hand, jumped, and came to the entrance of the canyon, blocking these people, raised his chin and said proudly:
"I built this road, I planted this tree, this mountain is my home. If you want to pass through here, you have to pay the toll!"
"Damn it! Who are you, little bitch, to dare to ask your grandfather for a bribe? I think you don't want to live anymore!"
A thin, dark man on horseback who was not tripped was trying hard to calm the horse down. When he saw Ripple standing in the middle of the road, he immediately shouted loudly.
The other burly man with a full beard and a high nose bridge did not say a word. He just rode on a tall black horse and looked at Lianyi with eagle eyes, as if he was assessing her capital to rob people.
After listening to the thin black man's words, Lianyi glanced at the burly man who was obviously the leader, and she knew that these two people were the bandit duo she had seen in the bandit's lair before and whose conversation she had overheard.
Lian Yi was not at all nervous, she just stood with her arms folded and shouted:
"My name is Su Lianyi, and people in the martial arts world call me the 'Flying Sword Fairy'! Do you think I have the right to ask for your bribe? Anyway, if you don't pay me, I'll keep my life!"
The tall and thin man exchanged glances with his eldest brother. He had never heard of such a person in the world.
"Don't be intimidated by her. He is stalling for time. Go ahead!"
The burly man was very courageous and he thought the other party was bluffing.
In a carriage not far from the scene of the confrontation between Lianyi and the bandit leader, Wang Zhenzhen held her forehead with her hand. Her niece had already come up with a name for herself before she even set foot in the underworld. She didn't know how long she had been thinking about it.
Wang Yaozu nodded in conviction. He saw with his own eyes that day a sharp sword flew around those killers and they died. This was the bodyguard he hired at a cost of 10,000 gold coins. He didn't expect that his name was so famous.
Twenty children all had starry eyes. They wanted to look but didn't dare to. They could only listen carefully with their ears perked up.
When the bandit leader gave the order to attack her, Lianyi had already summoned her own sword from space, and used her internal energy to throw the Lei Yao sword out.
A purple light flashed, and the two horses in the front scratched their front hooves. They fell headfirst beside Lianyi, bleeding profusely, and could no longer get up. The people on the horses jumped off in time to avoid being crushed under the horses, but what greeted them was a sharp sword.
The long sword that Lianyi controlled with his internal force seemed to have eyes. When it flew past the five people, they all groaned and had bruises on their bodies.
When the sword returned to Lianyi's hand, they all put away the disdain on their faces, held the weapons in their hands, and stared at Lianyi.
The most seriously injured was the burly man, who had a long cut on his waist. Blood quickly seeped out and had dyed half of his clothes red.
Lianyi did not draw her sword blindly. She understood the principle of capturing the leader first, especially the bandit leader. She felt that this man was not just a simple bandit. According to her speculation, he might have another identity.
"What do you think? Money for passage or life?"
Ripple asked with a smile.
"Second brother, give it to her!"
The bearded man held the knife in one hand and covered his wound with the other, speaking in a low voice.
“Brother!”
"The third and fourth brothers have already died here. We must leave."
As soon as the thin and dark man saw the eldest brother's face, he knew that he had compromised. It was obvious that they were no match for the woman in red. He could only nod with a gloomy face, and then took out a silver note from his arms.
"One silver note can only buy one life. Let me count how many of you there are. Don't give me less!"
Lianyi only took a glance and knew that it was a silver note for one thousand taels. She immediately spoke and raised her hand to point at people.
"one two three"
The rest of the people looked at the thin and dark man nervously, fearing that he would not give them the money and leave them here.
The thin and dark man's face was already dark, and now it was even darker than the bottom of a pot. However, he still took out six silver bills based on the number provided by Lianyi and threw them directly to Lianyi.
Lian Yi held him up with his sword, looked at him carefully, and then said:
"Why not just do it this quickly? Let's go!"
Lianyi put away the sword, sent the banknotes into the space, then slowly walked to the side and made way.
All six people were injured at this time. After Lianyi made way, they wanted to lead the horses away. However, the horse had injured its hoof and could not stand up for a while. They could only cover each other and walk past Lianyi, fearing that she would change her mind again.
The person who had been hiding in the dark and observing the ripples was a little surprised and whispered to the people around him:
"She let people go just like that?"
"After I took the money, of course I let him go!"
"So are we going to arrest anyone?"
"Stupid! Can't you see that I did it on purpose?"
The man who was asked was somewhat speechless. People had scanned their direction several times, and it was obvious that they had already discovered that they were hiding here. Did they really think that they were hiding well and had not been discovered? I will ask the young master to replace this guy later.
"Let's go and catch him!"
The man jumped out from behind the rock, did a handsome somersault, and after landing, rushed towards the small group of bandits who had already started jogging.
The rest of the people also left their hiding places one after another and chased after them. In a short while, they surrounded the six people.
"You took the banknotes, why did you stop us? You have no credibility!"
"I'm not in the same group with them. We all do our own things. You can bribe me with money, but you may not be able to bribe them. You're on your own!"
