A large group of war horses slowly walked through the mountains and forests. Behind each war horse was a figure pulled by a rope. Most of these figures were in ragged clothes, with iron chains tied to their hands and feet. They followed behind their horses under the drag of the rope.
Even though the speed of the war horse is not very fast, it is still very difficult for this group of people with yellow faces and skinny muscles to follow.
If he accidentally falls to the ground, these bandits will not stop their horses. Instead, they will deliberately speed up and let him be dragged along the ground. The companions around him will not stop him. Instead, they will laugh loudly.
It was as if the scene in front of me was a particularly interesting performance.
"It's better for the boss to be smart, otherwise these more than a thousand taels of silver would really go into that little girl's pocket, and our brothers wouldn't be able to get a penny." Suddenly, a bandit looked at the leader Li Guanshui and patted him with a smile.
Flattery.
Li Guanshui looked proud. He was sitting on the horse, his body swaying slightly with the ups and downs of the horse's hooves.
"This person needs to think more and remember more when doing things."
"Otherwise, why would you, a village leader, entrust me with such an important task as the Black Crow Envoy?"
He showed a tireless teaching attitude and spoke solemnly.
"Yes, yes. The leader of the village has a sharp eye. I think with the boss's ability, he will be able to capture the position of Crow God General in a few days. Don't forget our brothers then." The bandit hurriedly agreed.
Li Guanshui glanced at the man: "Don't think too much about this kind of thing. If you do it well, the leader of the village will take it seriously, and what you should have will naturally happen."
As soon as these words came out, he paused slightly, and then said again: "However, if there is such a day, as long as you do things for me properly, the benefits will naturally be inevitable."
The bandits around him all looked happy when they heard this, and naturally they couldn't help but flatter Li Guanshui.
Li Guanshui took it all in his favor. He narrowed his eyes. The slight discomfort he had when negotiating with Yue Jian gradually disappeared amidst the flattery from everyone.
He looked up at the sky, and it was already dark.
Nearly two hours have passed since they left Yeju City. At this moment, they have entered the Taixuan Mountains. If everything goes well, they will probably be able to return to Guiyanzhai this evening.
But before that, Li Guanshui still had one very important thing to do.
As he thought this, the corner of his eye fell on the woman tied with a rope behind his horse.
"Since we set off early yesterday morning, everyone has not rested for almost twelve hours. Now we have arrived in the Taixuan Mountains. We will repair on the spot for a while. Let's set off again in an hour."
His eyes were filled with heat as he spoke like this.
The companions around him obviously knew his temperament, and they all had meaningful smiles on their faces.
"Given the boss's abilities, one hour may not be enough. It's better to wait a little longer. Such beautiful girls are rare. If they return to Guiya Village, they won't be ours!" Someone said with a lewd smile.
"Yes, boss, why don't you give us some time after you feel comfortable, so that we can have a taste of what it is like to be the general's daughter!" Others followed suit.
At this moment, Li Guanshui turned over and dismounted, laughing and cursing: "I've played with you before, so you don't mind being dirty, right?"
"Then just wait. When I'm done, you can come back!"
After hearing this, the surrounding bandits suddenly became excited and burst into strange laughter.
…
Meng Jin never imagined that things would develop to this point.
She originally just wanted to catch her younger brother Meng Ziliang who had run away from home, and take him home to marry the eldest lady of the Nangong family.
This is important to the family.
What's more, the young lady from the Nangong family, both in terms of looks and talents, is the top choice in this Cangmu Continent. She really can't figure out where her brother is in the wrong place, and he wants to escape from marriage.
, I want to go to Tianxuan Mountain to practice kendo.
She finally intercepted him halfway, but this guy was very clever. After trying to break away to no avail, he pretended to accept his fate, stayed honest for a few days, and then escaped again while she was letting her guard down.
She had no choice but to chase him all the way, and finally found him on the edge of Taixuan Mountain.
But she encountered robbers again, and the two sides fought a bloody battle. Several of the guards she brought with her fled to death. In order to take care of her younger brother, she could only stay and deal with the robbers, but in the end she was outnumbered and fell into the trap.
in their hands.
Then after many twists and turns, he was bought by the bandit from Guiya Village named Li Guanshui.
She stared at the man in front of her with a fiery look in his eyes, her heart filled with fear. Of course she knew what this man wanted to do.
"You... don't come over." She said loudly and tried to retreat, but her hands were tied with ropes and held on the horse's back, making it impossible to escape.
The bandits were very smart and knew that she had cultivation skills, so in the nearly ten days since she was captured, the bandits only gave her some water and a very small amount of food, just to prevent her from eating enough and drinking enough to cultivate.
Make trouble for recovery.
Meng Jin, who was extremely weak at this moment, could not break free from the restraints on her hands, and could only watch helplessly as the man with a lewd smile approached her step by step.
"If you become a crow slave, you will die sooner or later. Why not let yourself be happy for a while before you die?" Li Guanshui said.
There is always a set of logic in his mind that makes the evil things he does not seem so abominable.
Little do they know that such rhetoric is ridiculous, and even saying it is self-deception seems to be self-deception.
But he didn't care. At this moment, he was obsessed with sex and just thought about how to suppress the official daughter in front of him and bully him. With this thought, he took a few steps towards Meng Jin.
He almost came to the woman.
Meng Jin retreated again and again, but his hands were tied with ropes, and he quickly retreated to the point of no return.
Her face was pale, and she was helpless about the predicament in front of her.
"Let go of my sister! You bastard!" At this moment, a weak but angry voice suddenly came.
Meng Jin and Li Guanshui both turned their heads to look at that place at this time, and saw Meng Ziliang, who was indeed covered in injuries, roaring at them with red eyes, but his cultivation was far inferior to Meng Jin, and there were ten more wounds on his body.
The wounds left after Dadu a few days ago have not yet healed. He is already exhausted from running all the way, and his body is shaking a little when he stands up.
But even so, he still wanted to protect his sister, and said loudly, struggling to run towards here, but his hands were also tied up with ropes, and before he moved forward
The moment he walked away, a bandit suddenly took action and pulled the rope hard.
Meng Ziliang, who was caught off guard, was suddenly pulled by the force and lost his balance, falling heavily to the ground.
The huge pain made Meng Ziliang's face become paler, and the wounds on his body were torn apart by the impact, and blood overflowed along the remaining ground.
"Ziliang!" Meng Jin, who saw his brother in such miserable condition, felt his heart tighten and shouted loudly.
She also stepped forward, but the rope in her hand was tightly held by Li Guanshui. No matter how hard she tried to break free, it was still difficult to do so.
Li Guanshui seemed to like the scene in front of him very much. He stared at Meng Jin, whose eyes were filled with tears, and suddenly reached out and snapped his fingers.
The bandit who was dragging Meng Ziliang's rope immediately understood what Li Guanshui meant. He sneered and stretched out his hand, grabbed Meng Ziliang's clothes, and dragged him all the way to Meng Jin.
"Ziliang!" Meng Jin looked at his brother who was covered in blood. The tears swirling in his eyes could no longer be contained. At this moment, they poured out along his cheeks like a dam bursting.
"Sister..." Meng Ziliang raised his head and looked at his sister, wanting to say something, but before he could say anything, the bandit behind him kicked her out.
Meng Ziliang, who struggled to stand up, staggered and knelt on the ground.
At the same time, the bandit's foot also landed on his shoulder, completely defeating his intention of getting up.
"The love between brother and sister is really deep, I am really touched." Li Guanshui said quietly at this time.
He walked up to Meng Jin, with a smile on his eyebrows: "How about this, girl, please cooperate well. After the matter is done, I will let your brother go. What do you think?"
"Sister! Don't listen to him! We know their identities and there is no way he will let us go!" Meng Ziliang shouted almost like a roar.
There was a trace of hesitation in Meng Jin's eyes that was immediately eliminated by Meng Ziliang's roar.
"ah!"
But at this moment, Meng Ziliang suddenly let out a heart-rending wail.
It turned out that the bandit behind him stretched out a foot at this time and severely stepped on Meng Ziliang's left and right palms, and kept moving the foot left and right. Meng Ziliang's finger bones could be vaguely broken.
Sound softly.
At that moment, Meng Ziliang's face turned pale, and the severe pain caused cold sweat to break out on his forehead.
"It's just your damn cleverness, right?" The bandit yelled angrily at this moment, obviously dissatisfied with Meng Ziliang for ruining their good deeds.
Li Guanshui also frowned slightly and said with regret: "As expected of General Meng's son, he is indeed smart and cannot deceive you..."
"But idle time is idle, and you have to find some fun. Since the girl is unwilling to give it, then we have to find it from your smart brother."
"Then let's start with the index finger. I'll cut off his fingers one by one. I'm a little curious. If a person doesn't have ten fingers and his eyes are dug out and his ears are pierced, he won't be able to hear or see.
What will happen to him if he can't touch things? If we put him on the edge of a cliff, he will fall off without hesitation?"
Li Guanshui's words made Meng Jin's expression change, but the surrounding bandits seemed particularly excited. They roared loudly at that time, seeming to be impatient to take a look at the curious scene.
"Please, no!"
Meng Jin begged Li Guanshui for mercy with tears on his face: "Please let us go, we won't say anything when we go back. If you want money, I will ask my father to give you a lot of money, a lot of money!"
Li Guanshui was silent when he heard this. He just looked at the bandit behind Meng Ziliang and whispered: "Let's start with the index finger."
The smile on the bandit's face was ferocious. After hearing this, he stepped on Meng Ziliang's palm with one foot without any hesitation. He raised the knife in his hand and was about to drop it towards Meng Ziliang's index finger...
"etc!"
Meng Jin's voice sounded at this moment.
The bandit's blade stopped just an inch away from Meng Ziliang's finger, and he looked at Meng Jin with a smile on his face.
Meng Jin's face turned pale. She lowered her head and said through gritted teeth: "I will cooperate with you. No... don't hurt my brother..."
This simple sentence, for Meng Jin, seemed to have exhausted all her strength. The moment she finished speaking, her body went limp, her eyes dimmed, as if her soul had been drained...
"Sister! No!" Meng Ziliang shouted loudly.
Meng Jin shook her head at him bitterly: "I can't watch you die in front of me..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Guanshui beside her impatiently picked her up and walked to the woods nearby.
She was heartbroken and looked at her brother with an empty expression as he tried to get up to stop him, but was knocked to the ground by the bandits on the side.
She saw it in her eyes, but did not say anything to stop it. She knew that everything was in vain. From the moment they fell into the hands of this group of bandits, their fate was already sealed.
She thought it was all just a nightmare.
At the end of the dream, someone would reach out to her and pull her out of this nightmare...
but……
She knew that no one would come.
As she thought about this, a look of determination appeared on her brows, and she nodded towards her younger brother who was still struggling. Meng Ziliang was stunned at that time, as if he understood what his sister was thinking——
The Meng family has been a general for generations, conquering the battlefield.
It is inevitable that some people will fall into the hands of the enemy and suffer torture.
In order to die with dignity, every descendant of the Meng family who has reached the Third Realm will learn a method to detonate the spiritual power in his body and avoid being insulted by enemies.
And now, Meng Jin is going to do this...
…
On the mountain road.
Yue Jian looked at the team stopped in the forest from a distance, a strange color flashed between his brows.
"When you asked me to give them the money, did you already think about doing this?" Yue Jian looked at Chu Qingxiao beside her and asked.
Along the way, they followed Li Guanshui and others at a distance, which made Yue Jian realize that the guy in front of him seemed to have made up his mind early on to get their money back.
Chu Qingxiao stared at that place with stern eyes. He did not deny this, but said: "With the silver in our hands, we are the prey. We need to be cautious on the way back to Crescent Peak, but if the silver is given to them, they are the prey, and
…”
"It's the kind of prey that is targeted by hunters and doesn't even know it."
The face of the young man in front of her was filled with murderous intent that was as real as reality, and he was completely different from the one she had seen before.
Even when the Shura Realm was opened, Yue Jian had never seen him look so cold and stern.
It was as if the group of bandits in front of him had some kind of blood feud with him.
The cold breath made Yue Jian feel a little uncomfortable. She looked into the distance again, frowned, and said worriedly: "Are you going to kill them all?"
Naturally, she would not care about the lives and deaths of the gangsters in Guiya Village, but including Li Guanshui, there were nearly twenty bandits in that group.
Chu Qingxiao's combat power is indeed good. If the two of them cooperate well, it is not difficult to kill the culprit. However, if one of these people escapes and brings the news back to Guiya Village, it will be a disaster for Cangying Village.
.
"I really didn't have such a plan before." Chu Qingxiao responded, but his eyes were always on the crowd in the distance, as if counting the number of each other.
"My original plan was to see if I could target any slaves, release them to create chaos, and then kill Li Guanshui while the crowd was dispersed, and get our money back without anyone noticing."
"But now... they all have to die."
The young man spoke extremely calmly, as calmly as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
"Then why do you want to change the plan?" Yue Jian was a little confused.
The young man who was looking into the distance turned his head at this moment. He looked at Yue Jian, the murderous intent in his eyebrows disappeared in an instant, he smiled brightly and said softly.
