Chapter 448: Good Intentions Don’t Get Good Rewards



The four of them found each other in the bushes, and then changed their route to Canglie. Canglie wanted to go back, but he definitely would not go back with Jing Yu'e.

Duan Gouqiong felt a little excited at first, but later on, he felt regretful.

She felt sick when she saw the black water flowing in front of her.

"Do we really have to wade through here?" Shao Lecheng said helplessly with a vomiting expression, "I'll carry you over!"

Ni Yueshan stood aside, his brows knitted tightly together, "Why is the water here so smelly and dirty?"

In order to avoid being discovered, they took an extremely difficult path. After walking along this path, they could cross many roads and save a lot of journey. Even if they walked slowly, it was possible that they could reach Canglie faster than Jing Yu'e.

"It is said that garbage and corpses are thrown here and accumulated here along the water flow, which naturally produces a foul stench. Fortunately, the river is not wide and we can fly over it, but this smell is really..." After Jing Yuchen complained, he bent down and prepared to let Ni Yueshan get on his back.

Ni Yueshan lay on his back and let him carry her away.

After that, there was a difficult mountain road. The soles of his shoes were thin and hurt. He was exposed to the scorching sun all the way, and there was no clean water to drink. Duan Gouqiong almost collapsed.

She was extremely depressed. Shao Lecheng was tired from walking and kept fanning her. "It's really hot today. I think we should rest here for a while. I can't bear it anymore."

He fell back and leaned against the mountain wall to rest for a while. Duan Gouqiong broke off a large leaf and covered his face with it. Jing Yuchen looked around. The mountain road was long and there was no one on the road. Coupled with the hot weather, it was indeed difficult to bear.

Seeing Jing Yuchen's serious expression, Ni Yueshan came over and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"I always feel that it's not as refreshing as having my freedom restricted right now?"

Ni Yueshan chuckled: "Do you regret it?"

“… Kind of!”

As soon as Jing Yuchen said this, Duan Gouqiong immediately stood up: "Why don't we go back on our own initiative!"

The three of them looked at Duan Gouqiong. How could he say such words?

Duan Gouqiong knew she had said something out of turn. She pouted and squatted on the ground: "Then... let's find some villagers nearby and rest for a day or two to slow down, okay?"

Jing Yuchen said seriously, "There are bandits nearby, but no villagers."

"Haha, bandits are great. They have plenty of supplies. Why not steal some at night?"

As expected, he is Duan Gouqiong. He speaks so arrogantly and even dares to attack bandits.

Seeing the strange looks from everyone present, Duan Gouqiong had a helpless expression: "Did I say anything wrong? My husband, don't you often steal from the homes of princes and nobles? How can the defenses of mountain bandits and mountain strongholds compare to those of princes and nobles..."

Although Duan Gouqiong's words were heartless, there was indeed some truth in what he said.

Ni Yueshan and Jing Yuchen remained silent. Shao Lecheng twitched his lips and said, "You want me to die..."

"You're going to find resources and a way to make a living for us. You're going to do something big!"

Finally, Shao Lecheng sighed and stood up. "Alright, if the king wants his subject to die, then he must die."

After nightfall, Shao Lecheng and Jing Yuchen wore masks and sneaked into the vicinity of the mountain stronghold. The stronghold was brightly lit at night and there were sentries guarding the lookout tower. If they got close, they would most likely be discovered.

Shao Lecheng suggested, "There must be a lot of gold, silver, and treasures in the mountain stronghold. If someone breaks in, they'll first think the thief is out to steal jewelry. But we only want food and water. You and I will split up. I'll distract them while you go find food and water. After half an hour, go back to find Yue Shan and Gou Qiong!"

Jing Yuchen knew that Shao Lecheng's lightness skills were better than his, so it was indeed more appropriate to let Shao Lecheng lead the people away.

"become!"

After making an agreement, the two set out one after the other. Initially, there was only laughter and joy in the village, but at the end, the police barked loudly, shouting, "Someone's trespassing! Catch the thief!"

Then it was time for Jing Yuchen to appear.

He flew up and disappeared into the darkness at an extremely fast speed, then looked for water and food.

The thieves shouted "Catch the thief!" Some people were worried that their jewelry had been stolen, so they rushed to check. However, to their surprise, Shao Lecheng's martial arts skills were so good that they couldn't catch him at all.

Shao Lecheng was surprised at the level of martial arts skills of these people. They couldn't even touch the corner of his clothes, let alone hurt him!

Shao Lecheng started to become bolder with a sarcastic look on his face. For example, he deliberately kicked over the fire, kicked off the tiles, and cut the ropes of the people captured by the bandits. He did whatever he could to create chaos.

The bandit felt like crying...

The tied-up man was freed and knelt down in front of Shao Lecheng, begging: "Young man, please save my daughter. They have tied her up on the mountain. Please, save her!"

Shao Lecheng originally just wanted to divert these people's attention and let Jing Yuchen take enough supplies, but he never thought of being a hero.

Shao Lecheng didn't respond, and the old man continued to kowtow: "Please, young man, she is only eleven years old!"

Shao Lecheng, who had not been persuaded at first, now felt sympathy.

"Where are you trapped?"

Afterwards, Shao Lecheng not only beat the men to the ground, but also smashed open the woodshed where the women were imprisoned. There were about seven or eight women trapped inside.

Seeing this, they immediately realized that someone had come to rescue them!

Shao Lecheng frowned and said, "Okay, you are saved. Hurry down the mountain to find your family!"

Afterwards, Shao Lecheng rushed out of the door and beat up every bandit who came. For a while, the sound of wailing was heard continuously.

But from behind Shao Lecheng, there was a faint murderous intent.

Shao Lecheng was completely unaware...

He had just kicked a man to the ground and started to laugh when he felt a pain in his back. Someone stabbed him in the back with a knife.

The smile on Shao Lecheng's face froze. He turned around in surprise and saw a familiar face.

It’s Wan Yan!

Surprise flashed in Shao Lecheng's eyes. Wan Yan smiled cruelly, "Didn't expect to meet me here? You, such a vicious person, would still think of rescuing a girl?"

Her face was full of sarcasm. She reached out and pulled out the knife. She looked at Shao Lecheng with disdain: "Pretending!"

Then she kicked Shao Lecheng and ran for her life outside with a group of fleeing women.

Shao Lecheng was kicked to the ground, and the wound on his back made him almost faint from the pain.

It turns out that Wan Yan did not return to the capital to cry to the emperor, but was captured by these bandits. When they found out that the thief who came to rescue him was him, they waited for an opportunity to take revenge...

The thieves who were fooled by Shao Lecheng surrounded him...

They looked at Shao Lecheng with pride: "You kid, your kindness goes unrewarded?"
