Hei Bao's guards were also a bit confused. However, their duty was to protect Hei Bao. As soon as Hei Bao carried Young Master Mei onto the roof, his guards sprang into action. In the blink of an eye, several masked men appeared beside Hei Bao.
The guards, feeling sorry for Fourteen, squeezed around him for a second and asked, "Young Master, what should we do next?"
What else can we do?
This little rascal has long since entered his heart and lungs.
Fourteen tied the black cloth that Hei Bao had given him to his face. "Cover the rear."
"yes."
Hei Bao was already skilled in martial arts, and with so many helpers, he and his group quickly disappeared.
The bride was both anxious and angry.
She defeated so many women to marry Young Master Mei, only to be kidnapped by a female thief before the wedding ceremony was even over.
"Report to the authorities! Report to the authorities! Report to the authorities!"
The government's response was quite swift. An ordinary petty thief would likely have been trapped in the city. But who are Hei Bao and her group? It would be too humiliating for them to be trapped in the city. Besides, they had a hostage in their hands.
The soldiers at the city gate were unable to move as soon as they drew their swords.
The young officer in charge knew he couldn't stop them. "Who are you? State your names if you dare!"
Hei Bao looked at the young leader and said with a grin, "This grandma is from Black Wind Stronghold. Dare to come and ask this grandma for your men? Giddy up!"
In the blink of an eye, Hei Bao and his group rode off on horseback.
The young leader thought for a moment and realized he had never heard of Black Wind Stronghold, so he asked the others, "Have you ever heard of Black Wind Stronghold?"
Everyone else said no.
The young leader frowned. "Strange, where did this Black Wind Stronghold come from? And these bandits are too powerful! They subdued us in a single encounter. Huh? I can move again. What about you guys?"
The other soldiers tried it: "We can move now too."
“These bandits are so skilled, they don’t seem like ordinary bandits. You stay here and keep watch, I’ll go report to the magistrate.”
"yes."
On the other side, Young Master Mei, who was lying sideways on the horse's back like a bag, couldn't take it anymore. "Female thief, no, female knight, can you let me get up? If you don't let me get up, I'm going to throw up."
Hei Bao: "So what if I throw up? What's the big deal? Giddy up?"
Young Master Mei: "..." As expected of a bandit! "Heroine, I don't want to be disrespectful in front of you."
Hei Bao: "Are you afraid that if I see your ugly side, I won't like you anymore and will just kill you with a knife?"
Young Master Mei: "..." He hadn't expected that. "Heroine, you'll be clean after vomiting and washing yourself." She can still have him.
Hei Bao: "Giving up so quickly?"
Young Master Mei: "A true man can bend and stretch."
Hei Bao: "You're quite sensible."
Young Master Mei: "Heroine, with your skills, it's a pity you're a thief. Heroine, would you like to become an official? I have connections."
The imperial court now allows women to participate in the imperial examinations. Since women are allowed to participate in the imperial examinations, they are naturally also allowed to become officials. However, the number of women who become officials is still small.
As Hei Bao hurried along, he asked, "What connections do you have?"
"My cousin's eldest daughter is a lady-in-waiting to the Crown Princess." Young Master Mei thought that a female thief would definitely not know who the Crown Princess's attendants were.
Hei Bao laughed upon hearing this. This kid was clever. However, she knew everyone around her aunt, and none of them had the surname Mei. Besides, she definitely needed to thoroughly investigate the other party's background before trying to snatch them. "What impressive connections."
Young Master Mei thought to himself, "Scared now? If you're scared, then hurry up and let me go." Then he continued to scare Hei Bao.
"Yes. My cousin has liked me since I was little. She said that after I get married, she wants me to go to the capital to find her. Do you want to come with me? With your skills, you can definitely get a good job."
Why wait until after marriage to go?
"My cousin said that His Highness the Crown Prince likes men."
Nonsense! When did the Crown Prince's uncle ever like men?
Hei Bao nearly threw Young Master Mei out. "His Highness the Crown Prince likes men? How come I didn't know that?"
"How could you know? Let me tell you, only my eldest cousin and her family would know such a secret. My cousin said that the reason His Highness the Crown Prince only has one woman is because he likes men."
Hei Bao glanced down at Young Master Mei. This kid was really going all out to scare her, even daring to spread rumors about her uncle, the Crown Prince. "Since your cousin is so powerful, then..."
At this point, Hei Bao deliberately paused for a moment.
Just as Young Master Mei was about to be happy, Hei Bao continued, "Then I can't let you go even more. I'm afraid your cousin will skin me alive and pull out my tendons."
Young Master Mei's expression froze for a moment. Oh no! He'd gone too far. "Your concerns aren't unfounded. However, I've heard that the Crown Princess is particularly fond of talent. I've also heard that Black Master and White Master, who serve the Crown Princess, were bandits back in the day."
Hei Bao thought to himself, "My dad and Uncle Bai are not bandits. How could bandits be as powerful as my dad and Uncle Bai?" Then he said, "You're right. I'll think about it."
Young Master Mei secretly wiped the sweat from his palms. If they were willing to consider it, that was good. If they were willing to consider it, he would have a chance to lure them to the capital and capture them all. The capital wasn't some small place like theirs, where they could come and go as they pleased.
"You'd better think it over quickly, or you'll miss this opportunity."
"Got it. Giddy up!"
About two hours later, Hei Bao saw a small hill ahead. Hei Bao led everyone into it. "Dismount."
"yes."
Young Master Mei slid off his horse. "Phew..." He finally landed.
Hei Bao used his riding crop to lift Young Master Mei's chin. "Stay here obediently. If you dare to run away, I'll throw you into the wolf's den."
"I won't run away, I swear." I'm going to lure you all to the capital and capture you all in one fell swoop.
"good."
After warning Young Master Mei, Hei Bao went to feed the horses.
Fourteen followed, feeling dejected. "Wife, didn't you accept me?"
"I've changed my mind."
"..." This girl is too wicked. "I'm going to tell my sixth sister!"
"My aunt doesn't care about you."
"...I'm going to tell your mother that you're bullying me."
Hei Bao made a face at Fourteen. "I want to build a Black Wind Stronghold. Are you coming with me to build the stronghold, or are you going back to find Gou Dan?"
Fourteen's eyes widened instantly. "You're going to build a mountain stronghold?!"
"That's right. I've never been a spoiled brat, nor have I ever been a bandit."
"You!" You naughty girl! "You can look, but you can't touch!"
This was his last act of defiance.
"As for building a mountain stronghold? No one is allowed to die."
Hei Bao gave Fourteen a smile. "Got it. Are you coming with me to build the mountain stronghold, or are you going to find Gou Dan?"
Fourteen glared at Hei Bao. "If you want to play, I have to cover for you, right? I'll go talk to Gou Dan and see if we can use this mountain stronghold you built to test the local officials. Remember, you can only look, but you can't touch it."
"Okay, go ahead." She wanted to test him, not to take advantage of another woman.
