"As long as we pass by that path again, we will see the thieves. Brother, are you afraid?"
Zhu Han glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang with interest. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's face was full of smiles, but there was no trace of fear.
"You also have some martial arts skills. If these people dare to harm me, you will definitely not sit idly by."
Zhu Yuanzhang has always trusted Zhu Han. Even at the most critical moment, Zhu Han will still come forward. This is his trust in Zhu Han.
Zhu Han smiled faintly and didn't say much. When they passed the intersection ahead, they heard a noise in the trees.
The two pretended to be very calm and continued to walk forward. At this moment, several men in black appeared in front of them. They held knives in their hands and immediately blocked the way.
"Who are you? You dare to rob homes here? Please let us go."
Several men in black took a look at Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang. They saw that they were well-dressed and had some baggage on their hands, and they immediately became interested.
The leader suddenly stepped forward and put a knife on Zhu Han's neck.
"We are the biggest thieves in Dongshan Mountain. Does it mean that Datong Mansion doesn't have our reputation?"
"Since you dare to pass here, you should keep all the money you have. Maybe I can let you live if I am happy."
Zhu Han felt a burst of contempt in his heart. He didn't expect these thieves to be so rampant.
He Fengyu had told them before that this group of people on Dongshan Mountain seemed to be very cruel. Seeing them killing people without batting an eyelid, Zhu Han immediately felt his heart in his throat.
He subconsciously protected Zhu Yuanzhang behind him.
"I know you are thieves. If that's the case, then take away all the banknotes from me. Just let us pass this way."
Zhu Han said and handed the banknote in his hand to the robber. Unexpectedly, the other party still refused to give up after getting the money.
He turned to look at his men.
"The two people must be worth a lot. Let's arrest them first and let them write a letter to their families asking for money. We can get more. These days are really good."
Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and wanted to escape. Unexpectedly, the two people behind them quickly stepped forward and grabbed their hands and feet immediately.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han looked at each other and knew that their plan had begun.
The thief had no idea that the person he was holding hostage was actually the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He happily took the money and led the people directly up the mountain.
When He Fengyu saw this scene in the dark, his heart was in his throat. If he had been close just now, this thief would really have murderous intentions.
Both Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang would be harmed. They ordered archers to ambush in secret. If there was a slight deviation, these people in front of them would be completely killed.
But they didn't expect that Zhu Han was so resourceful that he managed to get them out of danger like this.
At this time, in the village on the top of Dongshan Mountain, Zhang Fengnian, dressed in ragged clothes, was chopping up weeds and feeding the sheep next to the sheepfold. He had never done such a job before.
His hands and feet were tied and would only be untied when he was doing something. The thief behind him looked at Zhang Fengnian with disdain.
"You businessmen are really thin and tender. You can't even do a simple job like feeding the sheep, so what's the use of you?"
"Where did your business acumen come from?"
Zhang Fengnian was speechless for a while. He was just buying medicinal materials, but he didn't expect to encounter thieves.
He turned his head and glanced at the man behind him.
"You are the king of the mountain, and you are so disrespectful of human life on Dongshan Mountain. Are you really not afraid of suppression by the government?"
Unexpectedly, Zhang Fengnian's words made the man burst into laughter. He held the whip in his hand and swung it at Zhang Fengnian mercilessly, causing pain to spread quickly.
Zhang Fengnian gritted his teeth and pushed through.
"They only have a small number of people in the government. They want to subdue us without even looking at how powerful they are. It is absolutely impossible for us to let people from the government take over and bully us."
The man said through gritted teeth. Zhang Fengnian was keenly aware that these people had an sworn hatred against the government.
I just didn't expect that they would attack so hard.
"It will be more difficult for people in the government to go up the mountain. Don't think that this mountain is easy to climb."
"I'm telling you, if your family doesn't hand over the money within three days, you will definitely die."
After the man finished speaking, he turned around and left Zhang Fengnian, his eyes filled with frost.
He had secretly made up his mind that as long as the news reached Datong Mansion, Zhu Han would definitely not ignore it, but if he sent the officers and soldiers directly to Dongshan now, he might suffer a loss.
He stared intently at the sheep in front of him, put the weeds in his hand in front of the sheep, and watched the sheep eat fat and get stronger one by one.
Zhang Fengnian suddenly turned around and was about to go back to his room, but at this moment, he suddenly saw two familiar figures at the door of the cottage.
Several men escorted Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang to the stronghold, and severely abused them along the way.
Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang didn't take it to heart at all.
The opponent held a sword in his hand, so the two of them had no choice but to follow them. Zhu Han had memorized the route clearly along the way.
Zhang Fengnian's breath was stagnant.
He never expected that Zhu Han would come here. He quickly stepped forward to talk to Zhu Han, but the man on the side saw clearly and whipped him hard again.
Locked Zhang Fengnian directly into the room.
"You actually dare to lie here and confuse the public. Get out of here. If you dare to take action again, I will kill you."
The man's strength was so great that Zhang Fengnian couldn't resist at all. He could only watch Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang being taken into the stronghold, but he was powerless to resist.
Zhu Han and Zhang Fengnian passed by each other. He did not see Zhang Fengnian's location, and he and Zhu Yuanzhang were taken to the village.
"The second master is back, the first master is waiting for you."
The men on the side respectfully threw the swords in their hands to the ground towards the man who brought them. When they turned to look at Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang, a trace of pride appeared on their faces.
"Lock up these two people first and bring them to my elder brother later so that he can take a good look at how much these two people are worth."
When he saw Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang, he paused slightly. They also had rules in their cottage and would never harm ordinary people.
"Second Master, how come you have kidnapped people to the village without blindfolding them? What would they do if they had memorized the road clearly? That would really cause a big disaster."
The man didn't even care. He looked at his men proudly, with a smile on his face.
"What are these useless people talking about? Lock them up first and do as I say. I have my own arrangements for my brother."
The men had no choice but to lock the person up as he said.
The two of them sat in the room, listening to the noise outside, feeling a little uneasy.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly. They had walked a lot in this cottage, and their feet had already developed blood blisters.
"I didn't expect that the road up to Dongshan would be quite difficult. He took a long detour."
Zhu Han nodded gently, this thief did have some brains.
If they go around directly from the front, they can easily reach the mountain village on the top of the east mountain.
He just took them around several times before returning to their original position. One can imagine how terrible these people were thinking.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, everything is the safest now. As long as we can find any clues, we will never let them go unpunished."
Zhu Han has already marked this route. As long as the government officials arrive quickly according to his own arrangements, they will definitely be able to catch them all.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Han and nodded gently. He was very aware of how difficult the position he was in now.
If any problem is leaked at this time, no one from Datong Mansion will be able to get there by then, and things will become increasingly difficult to handle.
"The roads we just walked through are indeed difficult, but no matter what, we have made it through. I believe we will be able to escape from here as soon as possible."
"To eradicate this cancer completely for the common people."
"Don't worry, brother, we want to see how powerful these thieves are."
No one knows better than Zhu Han that going deep into the enemy is to disintegrate their plans bit by bit.
These thieves must not be given any opportunity to take advantage of. Only in this way can they solve this crisis.
At the same time, when the second master of the cottage entered the room, he saw that the first master was already sitting on the chair waiting for him, and he quickly stepped forward.
"Brother, I met two more people on the road today who seemed to be businessmen. They had a lot of banknotes on them."
"After a while, let them write a letter home and ask them to send the money up the mountain as soon as possible."
The second master proudly showed off his power in front of the first master, but unexpectedly the first master's face kept darkening.
"You really don't know how much trouble you have caused. That Zhang Fengnian is a famous herbal medicine dealer in Datong Prefecture. Now that he is kidnapped up the mountain, I am afraid that officers and soldiers will be attracted to him soon."
The head of the family is the famous Wang Dana in Dongshan. He was already skilled in martial arts when he was young, but he did not expect that his family would die tragically in the end.
He was just forced to go to Dongshan, but he didn't expect that after so many years, he had become the head of the village, and he already had a group of people as his subordinates in the mountain stronghold, and his life was considered nourishing.
Even though the White Lotus Sect has been causing trouble in Datong, it has not had much influence on them, and it even made Wang Dana make a lot of money.
"Brother, even if this is the case, those people from the government are not our opponents. Besides, if they come up here on the east mountain, we have plenty of ways to deal with them, so why be afraid."
The boss, Dana Wang, doesn’t think so.
If the government officials really attack them, I'm afraid it will become an important problem for them to continue to live in a place like this in the mountains.
"It's better to be careful these days. You must not touch other things. Now let the brothers go back to the village first. No matter what, you must not touch the merchants below."
The second boss, Wang Xiao, was a little dissatisfied with Dana Wang's decision.
He has been with Dana Wang for many years, and he thinks that his position as the second boss will become more and more stable.
These days, he has been acting in front of Dana Wang, but he didn't expect that something like this would happen now. His mentality is unbalanced.
"Brother, are you really scared? It's not that easy for those officers and soldiers to go to Dongshan."
Wang Xiao said and asked people to bring over the two people he had tied up.
"Brother, let you see how strong I am today, and ask this person to quickly write a letter home asking for money."
"I believe that our village will become the richest in the near future, and we will no longer have to worry about not having enough to eat or clothing to keep warm."
After Wang Dana heard what he said, he didn't think too much about other things, but what he didn't expect was that after he was brought back, when he looked at Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang, he always felt that something was familiar, but he couldn't place it.
Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang stood openly in front of Wang Dana, not taking him seriously at all.
Dana Wang was a little worried at first, but when he saw these two people, his worries became more and more serious. He looked at Wang Xiao.
"Why did you bring people up the mountain? These two people look like ordinary people. How could you kill them?"
Wang Xiao also felt innocent for a while.
He also didn't expect that ordinary people would still have so much money on their bodies. Now this was a hot commodity. Since they had taken it to the mountain, it was absolutely impossible to let them go back.
"Now there are only two ways, either they send all this letter to their own homes and let them use the money to redeem the people, or they silence them."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is the only way they can think of.
Naturally, Wang Dana would not attack the defenseless people. He sighed and walked up to Zhu Han.
"I don't know how you ended up here, but since you've gone up the mountain, you have to pay for the ransom."
"You should write the letter and send it home as soon as possible, otherwise don't blame us for being rude."
Zhu Han was speechless for a while. He had never seen anyone dare to ask for money so openly in front of him.
I had already thought before that if any problems occurred again, I could easily catch them all.
Nowadays, many officials have been making arrangements.
He went to Dongshan this time to completely root out these thieves, with a smile on his face.
"Then prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone for us first. As long as the letter is written, you can deliver it anywhere."
Wang Xiaogang was about to say something, but suddenly Wang Dana stepped forward and stopped him.
"That's natural, hurry up and write now."
Zhu Han gave Zhu Yuanzhang a color, and Zhu Yuanzhang slowly sat down at the table, picking up his pen and preparing to write.
At this time, I wrote two words in a hurry.
The two thieves stood behind them, unaware that he was writing nonsense here.
Zhu Han didn't expect that the thief didn't know how to read at this moment, which gave him an even more opportunity to deliver the message down the mountain.
"You write now and ask your family to prepare the money. You must take it up the mountain in three days, otherwise we will kill you."
Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed his laughter and wrote the news that he and Zhu Han had successfully arrived at Dongshan.
He put it in the letter in front of Dana Wang, but the two of them didn't notice it.
