Prince Chen also came here.

"Your Majesty, their people are asking Shopkeeper Xie to send the silver up, saying that they will only bring Third Master Xie out after seeing the silver."

Hearing this, Prince Chen nodded.

"Let Manager Xie take someone to deliver the silver and banknotes."

"Yes."

Yun Zhao watched as Shopkeeper Xie and his men carried the boxes up the mountain. Not long after, a group of bandits rushed down and checked the silver and banknotes...

The big boss brought some people and looked at the banknotes and silver, and they were extremely excited.

"Boss, this silver is real, and these banknotes are real, too. Together they are worth two hundred thousand taels of silver..."

Shopkeeper Xie looked at the boss and said.

"Boss, we have delivered the silver and banknotes, please release our Third Master..."

The boss laughed, waved his hand and said.

"Let Mr. Xie go."

When the people who were escorting Master Xie San heard the boss' words, they wanted to release him immediately. However, they did not expect that the second in command next to the boss would shout.

"Don't release him, Boss. If you release him, we won't be able to escape with so many soldiers from the imperial court. Wait until we get into the mountains, and then release Third Master Xie..."

When people heard what the second in command said, they immediately agreed.

"Boss, Second Boss is right. If we let Third Master Xie go, we'll be finished."

"That's right, let's escape to the mountains first and then release them."

"If we let him go now, the government officials might come charging over right away, and we'll be finished."

After listening to these people's words, the boss looked at Mr. Xie San and said.

"Thank you, Third Master. It's not that we don't follow the rules. We want to survive, too. Let's take you into the mountains first. Once you're in the mountains and we escape from the government, we'll release you immediately..."

Mr. Xie listened to their words with a cold face and said nothing.

Seeing these bandits taking Master Xie San up the mountain, Shopkeeper Xie became anxious.

"How can you go back on your words? Let my Third Master go."

Seeing Shopkeeper Xie running over anxiously, the bandits tried to stop him with knives.

"If you dare to come over here again, I'll chop you off."

"Get lost, don't follow me, or I'll kill you, Third Master, right away."

"If you dare take another step forward, I'll kill you."

General Wei at the foot of the mountain saw the spy running back.

"Reporting to General Wei, these bandits did not keep their promise. After they received the silver, they captured Mr. Xie San and took him up the mountain. Now they are fleeing towards the back mountain..."

Hearing this, General Wei's face became extremely gloomy.

Lord Fan also looked a little unhappy.

These bandits are so arrogant. They clearly agreed to release Mr. Xie San if he was paid, but now they are taking Mr. Xie San to the back mountain. Once they get to the back mountain, the situation will be bad.

"General Wei, give the order. If you don't, Third Master Xie will be in danger."

"We must not let these bandits go. We must eliminate them today, otherwise the people of Jiangnan will never have a peaceful life in the future."

"That's right, we must not let these bandits go."

Hearing these people's words, General Wei nodded.

"All soldiers, listen up. All of you must attack the mountain and find Master Xie San. You must save Master Xie San's life. If you can capture these bandits alive, capture them alive. If you can't capture them alive, kill them..."

"Yes."

The bandits ran while watching the movements below the mountain, but the trees were too tall and they had to escape for their lives.
