Finally, adhering to the principle of "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free," the robbers took Youqing up the mountain. Before going up the mountain, the system asked Youqing if she wanted to use hypnosis, but she refused.
With the system in place and her safety guaranteed, her playful nature came out. She found the group of robbers quite interesting and wanted to go check them out.
And so, Youqing went up the mountain. Compared to Madam Cheng and Miss Cheng, who were tied up and gagged with rags whose original color was hard to discern, she was treated much better. She was only tied up with her hands, and the two of them pulled her along, one in front and one behind.
Once they reached the mountain, Youqing was led to a large hall, which was quite spacious and had many other people inside.
Youqing looked up and saw that everyone was looking at her.
Just then, a voice came from the side: "Who brought the pretty boy up here?"
The pretty boy in question is You Qing.
She was considered one of the most beautiful women in the harem, and even when dressed as a man, Youqing was still quite handsome and refined among men. She was not angry when people called her a pretty boy.
"Fifth brother, I brought this pretty boy here on my own initiative. Didn't you say that a county magistrate might pass through here today and we might run into him? I was afraid something might happen, so I brought him here."
Sun Qingfeng couldn't help but rub his forehead. This fourth son was really reckless. But since he was already here, he might as well bring him along. Madam Cheng and Miss Cheng would definitely make things difficult for them. He could just send him back after dealing with Madam Cheng and Miss Cheng.
This mountainous area is rugged and easy to defend, making it difficult to attack. They are also quite discreet in their actions, avoiding robbing ordinary people and wealthy merchants. They have specialized sources of information and specifically target those who are rich but unscrupulous or officials but lack integrity. Because of their cautious approach, they have not been besieged or suppressed over the years.
The place they lived in was called Qingfeng Village. There were more than two hundred people in the village, including men and women, young and old. There were five leaders, and Sun Qingfeng was the youngest and ranked fifth.
Although Sun Qingfeng was the youngest, he was the brains of the five. It can be said that he made a great contribution to the fact that Qingfeng Village was able to stay stable and have no worries about food and drink.
Moreover, Sun Qingfeng, the fifth leader, and Sun Qingwei, the second leader, are brothers.
Sun Qingfeng looked at Youqing and asked, "What's your name?"
Unlike the recklessness of the fourth leader Liu Ming, Sun Qingfeng could tell that You Qing was probably not an official. His demeanor was not like that of an official. Officials do not have such a carefree attitude.
"You Qing is just passing through this place and has no official position."
Sun Qingfeng beckoned someone over: "Go and get his travel permit so I can take a look."
Since he is not an official, he should have a travel permit.
The person he called out was a young man of short stature. Upon hearing this, he walked up to Youqing and began to look through her luggage.
Youqing's essentials were in the carriage. Her luggage had also been brought up when she was taken on the journey, and now her belongings were at her feet.
After some fiddling, Youqing's travel permit was finally found.
"Fifth Master, you really do have a travel permit."
A travel permit is like an ID card for ordinary people, while an official's ID card is a departmental ticket.
"Fifth brother, I brought these people with me, what do we do now?"
Sun Qingfeng glared at Liu Feng. Over the years, they had only robbed those who were capable of being robbed. They had people in the nearby towns and sources of information. They knew who they could rob and who they couldn't.
Youqing was not part of their plan, so logically they should have released her directly.
Sun Qingfeng thought for a moment and said to Liu Feng, "Untie this young master You."
Liu Feng called someone to untie the rope binding Youqing's hands.
After Youqing regained his "freedom," Sun Qingfeng finally spoke up: "My brother was reckless and it was a misunderstanding that he brought Young Master You up the mountain. However, since you are here, Young Master You will have to make do for a few more days. I will make sure that you are well taken care of during these days."
It means we can't let her leave for the time being.
Looking at these people's behavior, Youqing felt a little strange. Had she encountered some reasonable bandits?
Look at that tone! Although it carries an overbearing and irrefutable tone, it also carries a sense of negotiation. It's really amazing!
Youqing had nothing else to do, so she could stay and check on the mountain stronghold. Besides, she wanted to save the system some energy. Since the other party had "sincerely" stayed, she could reluctantly stay a few more days.
Then Youqing and her luggage were taken to a small room. The room was really small, with a bed, a table, and just enough space to move around, but it was quite clean.
It's clear that they seem to be treating her quite "preferentially".
Youqing said to the system, "System, can you help me search if there are any monitoring devices in the farm store?"
The outer door was locked after she came in, it seemed like they were planning to lock her up for a few days.
She was quite curious about this mountain village.
The system responded after a while: "Yes, two thousand gold coins, a miniature live streaming device, only the size of a fly, that can fly and be remotely controlled."
Two thousand gold coins wasn't a small amount, but Youqing wasn't short of gold coins these days, so she nodded in agreement: "Buy it."
In a flash, two thousand gold coins were gone. Although Youqing spoke frankly, she still felt a pang of heartache at spending two thousand gold coins on a live-streaming device. The only consolation for her was that the device could be used repeatedly.
I bought the live streaming equipment, learned how to use it, and then started remotely controlling it.
The device was more advanced than she had imagined. It had an invisible panel in front of her that everyone except her could see. It could be controlled manually, by voice, or by thought, which was very convenient.
After placing the live streaming equipment out through a crack in the window, I opened the control panel and began remote control operation.
