He Zexu's men had known each other for a long time with the entourage of Wei Zijun and others, and they had a tacit understanding after working together several times. As early as they left the city gate, they dispersed and headed towards the woods.
He Zexu's followers were not familiar with the terrain here, so they consciously followed Wei Zijun's people to see how many people were hiding in the forest and where they were, and then waited for opportunities.
Directly in front of the forest, someone rode out of the forest.
"Leng Hell King? Hahaha, stop putting gold on your face. That was your former name. Who could not resist the temptation? In the end, you fell under the woman's pomegranate skirt. You are no different from defecting to the imperial court.
Come on! People like you are the most despised in the world." The person who came was dressed in black, and his face was covered with a black cloth, with only two eyes exposed.
This was not the first time Leng Wuyi heard such unpleasant words. He sneered when he heard the words: "Well, if you hadn't covered your face with a black cloth to hide your shame, and would do whatever it took to kill the child for the reward, I would have thought you were some kind of upright and heroic charlatan.
Where is the scholar?
Therefore, your shady Excellency, please be wise and hand over my son and daughter as soon as possible. Otherwise, I will let you know how the nickname Leng Yan Wang came from."
After Leng Wuyi's rude retort, the masked man couldn't even refute immediately, because what he just said was the truth. He did come here for the one hundred thousand taels of gold, and he really had no choice.
Used methods that are not on the table.
"Leng, stop talking nonsense. I asked you to bring the city lord here, but you brought so many people here. Don't you want the lives of your two children? That's right. Children are not as important as your confidante."
The masked man really didn't expect that the other party would bring so many people. This was different from what he thought.
At this time, Wei Zijun got off the carriage, walked a few steps forward and said sternly to the front: "Leng Wuyi has indeed brought the Lord of this city, so he has already done what you asked him to do.
Now, release his two children quickly, and this city lord guarantees that you can leave this place safely, just as if you have never been here."
If someone brings it, whether you can take it away or not depends on your own ability!
Wei Zijun knew that even if she let these people go, she was not sure and couldn't control whether He Zexu and Leng Youyi would listen to her advice and let them go if they had never come.
The reason why she got off the carriage was not because she was stimulated to lose her mind after listening to the other party's words, but because she had just discussed it with He Zexu next to her from the window in the carriage.
Otherwise, what's the point of following her here? Is she just here to watch the excitement?
What? City Lord?
Seeing the woman getting off the carriage, not only the masked man on the horse was surprised, but also his accomplice hiding in the woods not far away was also surprised.
She actually came, although the way Leng Yanwang brought her here was not what they thought.
The prince of Yangli Kingdom wanted to get her at a reward of one hundred thousand gold. He thought she was a beauty as beautiful as a fairy, a rare beauty in the world.
Seen from this distance, she is indeed beautiful, but her appearance won't make the prince Qi Qisheng so obsessed with her, right?
Could it be that what you covet is not her beauty, but her ability to manage five abandoned cities? But didn't the rumors say that there was actually someone else behind her, and that she was just that person's stand-in and puppet?
It was also said that Prince Ji, the fifth prince of Anyu Kingdom, also fell under her pomegranate skirt. It was also said that the person behind her was actually Prince Ji.
In the past few years, they have heard a lot of rumors about the city lords of these five cities.
Naturally, you won’t take everything true. Rumors like these are true or false, and are exaggerated. If you take them all as true, you are a fool.
Not to mention, looking at it this way, coupled with her calm posture just now, and the momentum with which she shouted those words, this woman is indeed extraordinary.
"Oh, she's just a woman who relies on men to make a living. She really takes herself seriously. It's easy to get those two children back. You come over here and you are alone. They are not allowed to move."
The man on horseback pointed his sword at the other side and shouted.
He was not sure if the man on the horse beside the carriage was the feared King of War, but he and several other followers made people feel very uncomfortable. Even though they were so far away, they all had an invisible feeling.
Pressure and murderous aura are coming.
Judging from his many years of wandering around the world, those people on the other side are not ordinary escorts.
Regarding this man, Wei Zijun reminds me of a saying, villains die from talking too much!
A truly powerful character never becomes one quickly.
"How can a grown man come up with so much nonsense? What is the difference between a grown man and a gossip in the market? Whether this city lord relies on men to succeed or relies on his own ability has nothing to do with you. There is no need to waste words with you.
The city lord is standing here. If you want to get the 100,000 bounty, just come here. The prerequisite is to release the child first, and then whether you want to rob me or protect me depends on your ability.
Finally, I would like to add that this city lord has given you a chance. If you don't listen, you will be responsible for the consequences." After Wei Zijun finished speaking, he stood there with his hands behind his back, neither moving forward nor stepping back to get on the carriage.
In fact, she didn't want to be so verbose with the other party. Wasn't this trying to delay time for her own people?
But her husband's reaction made her feel a little surprised. After hearing the other man's repeated slanderous words about her, she didn't get angry and take action?
She turned around and looked, ahem, her senses were wrong. He Zexu on the horse had a serious look on his face, but it gave her the feeling that he had reached the limit of his endurance and was about to explode at the slightest touch.
"Why, are you scared? Don't you dare to come here? With this little courage, you still want to get that one hundred thousand taels of gold?" He Zexu urged his horse forward and said.
There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone. He didn't even know how much he weighed, so he still dared to come here?
"What are you afraid of? I have been in the industry for thirty years, and I don't know how to write the word "fear." After the man on horseback finished speaking, he shouted to the woods behind him: "Brothers, whether you can live a good life in the future depends on it.
Now, rush over, kill them and capture the female city lord."
Even though there are slightly more people on the opposite side, we are all killers who have been in the world for many years, fighting for their lives with bloodthirsty on the tip of the knife. Against ordinary officers and soldiers, one can fight a hundred, but the one on the other side who looks like a strong general,
It should be possible to fight one against ten.
As soon as he called, there was a lot of movement in the forest, the sound of horse hooves was noisy, and a group of people came out holding swords, all of them had their faces covered.
Wei Zijun silently counted the number of people on the other side in his mind. Including the person who just spoke, there were twelve people in total. Two of them had children tied up in their arms, namely Zuo'er and Ying'er, brother and sister.
Wei Zijun didn't know how many people he had brought with him in total, but what he could see at the moment was more than thirty people.
In terms of numbers, they have the upper hand, but I don’t know what the strength of the killers on the other side is...
