The bandit leader betrayed the person who had instigated the whole affair.
Although Yu Shuang already knew the intricacies of the situation, she still let him finish his ramblings.
After all, there are still many people who don't know the truth, and they died in a muddled way in their previous lives.
At this moment, the expressions on the faces of the members of the acrobatic troupe varied.
Whether it was grief and indignation, fear and panic, or hatred...
It turned out that the Yongning Marquis's mansion wanted to kill them to silence them.
Their gazes toward Yu Shuang were somewhat complicated.
It would be a lie to say that she wasn't blamed at all for ending up like this.
After all, it all started because of her.
But shouldn't the person they should really hate be the real murderer?
With the bandit leader's last bit of influence gone, Yu Shuang mercilessly sent him to meet the King of Hell.
He who kills will be killed by others.
It's not unfair at all.
The other bandits shuddered, and tried to sneak up to escape, but were hit by the falling rocks and collapsed to the ground.
They all knelt down and begged for mercy, crying and pleading for their parents... They made up all sorts of excuses in order to save their lives.
"Heroine, spare my life! I have elderly parents and young children to support, I cannot die!"
"Waaah... We were forced to do these shady things. It was all the boss's fault, and he deserves to be punished. Even if we report him to the authorities, we don't deserve to die!"
"ah…"
Yu Shuang said coldly:
"I might spare your lives. From now on, you and your stronghold belong to me, and I will be your leader. Anyone who objects? Come out and face your death now."
Anyone who disagrees should go out and face their death. Once this was said, who would dare to disagree?
With their lives at stake, the group of henchmen quickly surrendered and paid homage to their leader.
He spent all his time hunting geese, only to have his eyes pecked by one.
Where can we seek justice?
We have no choice but to accept our fate.
I thought it was a sure-fire way to make money, but little did I know that I would end up being robbed instead of the robbed…
Under Yu Shuang's orders, a group of people went to liberate the members of the acrobatic troupe in a good manner.
The members of the circus troupe were stunned into accepting what was happening before their eyes.
I never expected things to turn out this way.
From the moment Yu Shuang committed the murder, their hearts pounded wildly, filled with fear and dread.
Although they traveled all over the country and were involved in the underworld, very few people could so decisively end a person's life.
Especially Yu Shuang, a familiar person they've known for many years and who they've spent every day with.
When did she become a martial arts master?
And she actually wants to become a bandit leader?
This is a capital offense, punishable by death!
Yu Shuang's nominal master—the troupe leader—was still shaken. After removing the shackles, he was the first to come over and ask the question that had been troubling him:
"Xiao Shuang, when did you acquire such great skills? And why did you go up the mountain to become a bandit leader?"
The other companions also looked at Yu Shuang with eager eyes.
Yu Shuang remained calm and composed.
"It's like this, Master: A couple of days ago, I discovered a secret passage in the prison cell, thinking it was the way out... After going in, something took me away. It turned out that there was another cell underground, where an old man was imprisoned... That old man claimed to be the best in the world, possessing unparalleled martial arts skills. His lifespan was nearing its end, so he took me as his disciple and passed on all his life's power to me. That's the source of my skills..."
Everyone was stunned.
Unexpectedly, Yu Shuang had such a wonderful encounter.
That's incredibly lucky.
But…
Something feels off.
The youngest kid in the juggling troupe hit the nail on the head:
"Sister Shuang, if that old man is so powerful, why is he locked up in a cell?"
Yes... Everyone looked at Yu Shuang with great interest.
Yu Shuang looked melancholy, her gaze vacant as she stared into the distance, and sighed softly.
"Because of a woman..."
"ah?!"
Everyone, including the newly recruited bandit henchmen, was taken aback.
From this sentence, they imagined a poignant and beautiful story.
Even heroes have always found it hard to resist the charms of beautiful women.
Even such an extraordinary person is no exception.
Next, Yu Shuang lived up to expectations and wove a touching love story for them.
"...In the end, he voluntarily imprisoned himself in the Heavenly Prison, waiting for decades, day after day, for someone who would never return..."
Everyone looked like they hadn't had enough and were filled with emotion.
The two more sentimental sisters were already moved to tears.
The real story was far more tragic than they had imagined.
To have such love in one's lifetime is enough to die without regret.
The master's wife was the first to react, and putting that matter aside, her face showed worry:
"Xiao Shuang, then why did you go up the mountain to become a bandit?"
Yu Shuang smiled gently.
"Master's wife, it's not me, it's everyone together."
What? We'll join you too!?
The members of the juggling troupe looked at each other in bewilderment.
Already a criminal, if he disobeys the law and is exiled three thousand miles away, but instead becomes a bandit in the mountains, his crimes are compounded, and he will be beheaded!
Besides, they're not cut out to be bandits.
Yu Shuang coughed twice.
“I know your concerns. Going up the mountain to become a bandit is only a temporary measure. This exile to the northern border is long and arduous, and bandits are rampant. It is hard to say whether we will survive.”
"It would be better to find a place to stay for now. Before long, I will surely restore everyone's freedom."
These words reassured many people.
Yu Shuang has the filter of being an unparalleled master, which gives them a great sense of security.
I can't help but want to give them my complete trust.
Everyone immediately agreed with Yu Shuang's decision.
They followed a bunch of bandits back to the mountain and took over the nest.
The first thing to do upon arriving at the village was to rename it.
Black Wind Village.
From a psychological perspective, this gives people the impression that the days of counterfeiting are over.
