He laughed to himself. The prince had tried to wipe out the Jixin Village several times, but had never succeeded.

Because the mountains here are steep, the prince did not want his army to be lost to bandits.

So there was no frontal attack, but secret guards were stationed in the stronghold.

Just wait until the time is right and then kill him all at once.

He had a clear idea in his mind and wanted to take another look at the terrain, but the bandits covered his eyes.

In the lobby at the top of the mountain, he took off his blindfold and looked around.

What we saw was a real bandit’s den.

Torches, animal skins, and ugly bandits, all stared at him fiercely, waiting for the boss to ask questions.

Captain Cao had heard of this boss, but had never seen him.

The tall and arrogant man was wearing a fur vest, and his cold and fierce face was full of vicissitudes of life.

His eyes are not big but as big as an eagle's. He is Lei Zhentian, the leader of Jixin Village.

He looked at the person tied up below and asked, "Here comes another one. Who is he? Have you figured out?"

A thin young bandit said, "Boss, we just kidnapped him and haven't had time to ask him yet."

The second in command, known as Xue Wuyin, walked over with a pipe in his mouth.

He kicked the trembling Captain Cao and said, "What are you doing? Why are you wandering around in this valley alone?

Could it be a spy from the imperial court? "

Captain Cao, who was shaking on the ground, said:

"I'm here to look for my little... miss. She brought about thirty people with her. She said...she disappeared here. The... master asked me to come and have a look."

“Haha…” Lei Zhentian laughed loudly, “How dare you break into my Jixin Village alone?

I think you are tired of living. Tell me quickly! Where are you from? What are you doing in my village? "

Commander Cao bowed his head and replied, "I...I lost my way...and ended up in Jixin Village by mistake.

You ask them a few questions. I had no way out at that time and was caught by them. "

Xue Wuyin spat out the pipe in his mouth and said, "Boss, I think he is just a servant. Look at how ugly he is."

Then he said to Captain Cao, "How much silver will your master give to redeem your young lady?"

Captain Cao was relieved that the princess was here.

He stood up, exposing his face to the bandits, hoping that the prince's secret guards would recognize him and contact him.

He said, "I don't know. The master just asked me to find out where the young lady disappeared."

"Go to hell." The second in command kicked him again: "I think your master doesn't want his daughter anymore, right?"

Lei Zhentian thought for a moment and said, "A girl, with more than thirty servants, saying she is going to Diancheng, is really bold.

This matter is already strange, and now a single person breaks into my village. Do you think this matter is so simple?"

The second in command just couldn't stand him being so cautious.

He said disdainfully: "A few servants and a girl, what's so difficult about that? Didn't the servant say it?

Their young lady is looking for a man, haha..."

The bandits in the hall all laughed evilly.

"From the looks of it, they are a wealthy family."

The second in command yelled at Captain Cao, "Tell me quickly, how much silver did your master pay to redeem your young lady?"

Captain Cao said, "I have to see my young lady before I can tell you."

The big boss waved his hand and said, "Bring it up!"

Several big men escorted the princess into the hall and threw her on the ground.

Captain Cao took a look and saw that it was indeed the princess.

Princess Yuanshuang looked up and saw the captain, but she didn't recognize him.

Captain Cao spoke first: "Miss, after you left, the master and the mistress were extremely worried and sent me all the way to look for you.

I didn't expect that the young lady was abducted here. Don't worry, as long as they find you, they only want silver."

Yuan Shuang seemed to understand a little bit of what he said. He must be here to save her, so she kept silent.

Captain Cao said this and stood up to walk out, but was pulled back by the collar by the bandits guarding the door.

He didn't want to leave. He had finally come in, so how could he leave?

I just want to see if there are any of the prince's secret guards among these bandits.

The big boss smiled, and that ferocious smile made people scare: "You want to leave? Where are you going?"

"I'll give you some silver."

"Stop talking nonsense here. I think you are going to report to the government to raid my village."

The second in command took over the conversation and said, "Sweep my village, let's see who has the ability to do it.

That war prince Sang Yu couldn't do anything to us, so who else has the ability to do that now?

"Boss, the New Year is coming soon, and it's hard to live without money."

"Yes, Boss, let this boy go back and get the silver."

"It's been a long time since we've had any new stuff. This is a gift from God."

"Yep."

The bandits started to make a fuss.

While everyone was making a fuss, Captain Cao had already spotted the prince's secret guard Duan Xinfei among the bandits.

They exchanged glances, and Captain Cao shook his head slightly.

Duan Xinfei interrupted, "Boss, I don't think we can let this guy go back. We need to lock him up for a few days and see if his father will send anyone back."

The big boss was quite satisfied with this: "Yes, you are right, we can't let this guy go, it's better to be safe than sorry.

The War King is suppressing a rebellion in Dian City recently, so we have to be careful."

"It's just suppressing a rebellion, not suppressing bandits. He can't take care of us right now."

The second in command was dissatisfied.

He wanted to take the silver back to his old mother in town.

Because his mother had been ill for almost a year and had been relying on his money for treatment, but now the money was running out. He was anxious.

The big boss ignored him and said to Duan Xinfei, "Take him away and lock him up first.

Lock this little girl up well. If there is no money to redeem her within three days, we will enjoy her. Hahahaha."

Then he said to Captain Cao: "I have never seen anyone come here to redeem someone empty-handed. I think you are a spy.

Brother Fei, serve him and make him tell the truth."

"Okay," Duan Xinfei agreed and escorted Captain Cao out.

Princess Yuanshuang was also taken back by the bandits who had just brought her in.

Duan Xinfei took him to a deserted place and asked, "Are you going to suppress the bandits, my Lord?"

"There is no such plan at the moment. This time, the princess brought us here to rescue the princess."

Duan Xinfei heard a voice behind him, so he said, "You want to redeem someone? I think you are talking nonsense. How can you redeem someone without money?"

Then he took him to a small house.

Duan Xinfei asked: "Is this person the princess?"

"Yes, the princess is going to Dian City, and she only brought about thirty or so servants with her."

Duan Xinfei said, "Doesn't the prince have any plans to destroy Jixin Village?"

"Not at the moment. The mission given by the court is to quell the rebellion."

"If we want to destroy Jixin Village now, our chances are better. The three of us here each control the strength of his three columns."
