Tu Hai turned his head and looked at him: "She is a martial artist! Her skills are far superior to yours. If you underestimate her, you will suffer sooner or later."
The bearded man was not convinced. The girl looked thin and weak. Even if she was a martial artist, she probably had only practiced for a few years. How could an ordinary person beat her?
Don't believe it.
"Okay, hurry up and pack your bags and see how the brothers are doing. We'll head straight to Qinghu Mountain tomorrow morning."
"They'll vomit double what they ate from us! A quick fix won't delay our delivery to Xizhou. If anything goes wrong with this shipment, my dad will hand the escort company over to my half-brother!"
Thinking of his family, Tu Hai's face darkened.
The bearded man lowered his head and dared not say more when he heard this: "Yes!"
After Ji Changying and the others made the decision, everyone felt like a huge stone had been lifted from their hearts.
No matter how much he could get from the bandit's lair this time, at least he would have enough money to settle down in Liangzhou.
Before they parted, at everyone's strong request, Zhou moved the bag behind her to the front with an expressionless face.
The clan leader held three branches and bowed in front of Zhou, muttering in a serious tone: "Ancestors, please bless us with a smooth journey this time, Maimiao! You must also bless our Ji family! Your sons, grandsons, and granddaughters are among them! You must pass on my words to everyone, and I will treat you to a drink in the underworld..."
Ji Changying: "...I've told you many times that it's all nonsense from Grandma Wang, why don't you believe it?"
The clan leader glared at her fiercely: "What nonsense is this, little kid? This is all nonsense! Please, ancestors, don't bother with this child!"
Ji Changchuan pulled his sister's arm and whispered, "Stop talking, they trust grandpa and grandma!"

After a whole day of rest, when the sky was slightly bright in the morning, Zhang Ziwei heard the sound of Tu Hai and his men setting off. He quickly got up, woke everyone up, and followed them.
As soon as Tu Hai set out on the road, he discovered a long string of "little tails" trailing behind him.
The bearded man frowned and walked to Tu Hai's side: "Master, what should we do if they follow us? Should we chase them away?"
"Drive them away? Did we build this road? If they want to follow us, then let them. We just need to take back our things and make them pay the price. We don't care about anything else."
The bearded man thought for a moment and said: That’s right!
After taking a look behind him, Tu Hai ordered to advance at full speed. The group rode their horses so fast that only the horses' butts could be seen.
Zhang Ziwei was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
How can human legs outrun horse legs?
"Let's hurry up! If we can't keep up with the front and can't find a place to stay, we'll all be out of luck!"
Drink northwest wind?
How is this possible?
The Ji family ran after them happily.
Xie Siheng glanced up at the sky and saw Mo Yu circling above, always not far from Tu Hai.
"When you weren't worried, you didn't care if someone died in front of you. Now, even when you're worried about something so trivial, you want to follow them and find out what happened."
Xie Siheng's expression remained unchanged when he heard what Mr. Huang said: "Illegal mining is no small matter."
"I wonder if your grandfather is failing? He was so-so during his first twenty years as emperor, but how come he's been running the country like a sieve these past few years?"
Huang Lao couldn't help but mutter, "I've told you all along that emperors are no good, but Junior Sister just wouldn't listen! Now you've been trapped in that deep palace for most of your life. How could you be as carefree and unrestrained as me?"
Xie Siheng placed the teacup heavily on the table and said, "I heard that your eldest disciple married into the family of his beloved, gave up medicine to pursue literature, and planned to take the imperial examination and become an official to make a career."
"Your second disciple enjoyed the pleasures of the martial arts world, but because he only liked poisons and not medicine, he went astray. In the end, while researching poisons, he poisoned himself with a strange poison that still has no antidote. His whereabouts are unknown since then."
"Your Medicine King Valley still doesn't have a qualified successor."
This is very heartbreaking.
Old Huang's face turned pale and green, and he couldn't help but jump up and down: "You know shit! I'm demanding. There are so many people who want to be my apprentice, but I don't like any of them! That's why it has been delayed until today!"
Xie Siheng drank his tea silently and said nothing more.
Mr. Huang was touched in the sore spot and stopped mocking the emperor. He ordered Jin Yuanbao to hurry up.
So the carriage began to shake rapidly on the road. Old Huang forgot that he was sitting in the carriage. He was shaken all over the place and he gritted his teeth and refused to shout to stop.
Qinghu Mountain was a bit far away from them, and they didn't reach the place until the afternoon.
The man leading the way pointed to the curling smoke at the foot of the mountain ahead and said: "That's the village."
Tu Hai and the bearded man looked at each other and frowned.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like a quiet little mountain village.
There were a few children running and playing at the entrance of the village, and there were women working while watching their children. The curls of smoke rising from the chimneys brought a bit of the flavor of life.
"Are you kidding us?" The bearded man reached out and pushed the other person.
He lowered his head and said, "I'm not lying! The village is different during the day and at night."
Tu Hai waved his hand and asked everyone to stop.
Ji Changying and the others caught up in the evening.
Ji Fengshou saw a smile on Tu Hai's face: "Brother Tu! Did you wait for us specially?"
The bearded man rolled his eyes. This guy is so shameless.
Tu Hai waved to him to look ahead.
Ji Fengshou took one look and frowned tightly: "Why is there a village here?"
"A den of bandits." Tu Hai pointed at the village with his chin lightly.
Ji Changying also saw the village.
The village seemed normal.
There are women doing show work, old people looking after their children and grandchildren, and children playing.
Her mental power continued to extend, and the situation on the mountain behind the village was not so good.
Half of the mountain was hollowed out, and it was filled with coolies working hard. The raw iron ore they dug out was transported out in baskets.
Anyone who moves even a little slower will be met with a barrage of punches and kicks.
The entire hollowed-out cave was guarded very tightly with a sentry every five steps and a guard every ten steps.
The miners were skinny and had not a pound of flesh on their bodies.
Just as Ji Changying was secretly watching, she saw someone fall down. A man who looked like a leader came forward to sniff the person's breath, then waved his hand and had someone take him away and throw him away.
Ji Changying originally thought that these people would just dig a hole and bury him.
Unexpectedly, it was taken to a deep and abandoned old mine and then thrown away and left alone.
There are many corpses at the bottom of the deep cave. Some of them look like they have been dead for many years and their bones have weathered away.
After a rough look, I saw that there were two hundred guards here, and each of them was well-equipped.
The people on the top of the cave were equipped with a set of crossbows and arrows. They stared at the people working below with their bright eyes. If there was any unusual movement, they would shoot the other person with an arrow without any warning.
