"Chang'e of the Moon Palace, while you are miserable, I hope to be able to live with you in the Moon Palace. At the very least, I can still see my loved one after nightfall.

How can the cold and loneliness of a palace compare to the coldness and emptiness in a person's heart? "

After walking for three days and three nights, he finally arrived at Rose City. He stayed in an inn, washed himself a bit, then called the waiter to find out the exact location of Clear Wind Ridge. After that, he tiredly slept for a while.

"We've covered about 10 miles. This should be the place."

Zuo Rulan took a kettle from the horse's back and drank a mouthful of water. She raised her eyes and looked over, and indeed, there was a flag erected on the hillside in front of them. The three bold words "Qingfeng Stronghold" fluttered in the wind.

He pulled the reins of the horse with his left hand and jumped off the horse's back. He could not suppress the joy in his heart. He took out the sword from his waist and swiped it a few times.

Zuo Rulan Fan threw the severed reins towards the tallest tree behind him. The rope rose into the air and coiled around the treetops, even bending the branches to the side.

After measuring up his surroundings with his eyes, Zuo Hongfan smiled and walked towards the intersection in front of him with large strides.

"Now is the time to rob! Bring out the valuable things!"

There were three to five men standing on a large stone platform at the intersection in front of them. They were all dressed neatly, and they had better taste than any bandit Zuo Rulan Fan had ever seen. They all had the same equipment, neither servile nor overbearing attitude, and their tone were even more confident and confident.

Zuo Xiufan was suspicious, was it very profitable to be a bandit now? Why were these bandits wearing such good clothes, and the sabres in their hands were not ordinary goods either, they looked so shiny! Zuo Rulan Fan lowered his voice and said, "I'm sorry, but I was in a hurry to leave and didn't bring any money."

"I didn't bring any money, so it's fine if you give me some."

The leader of the men jumped down from the boulder with a loud thump. He held a long blade in his hand and gestured grandly as he yelled at Zuo Rulan Fan.

Zuo Ruping was stunned. It seemed like each bandit was smarter than the last. Why were their words so childish? Since they said they didn't bring any silver taels, they naturally didn't bring any silver taels. She didn't feel like she was saying, "This Big Brother bandit is really cute and tight."

Actually, Zuo Rulan didn't want to give it to them at all. If people knew that a dignified prince like him had been robbed by a few bandits, wouldn't he be shaming himself to death?

The leader's face twitched as he slashed a nearby tree. A deep scar was left on the tree. "Humph, hurry up and hand over the valuable things. If you can't, then go back and forth!"

Zuo Hongfan rolled his eyes. This was too unprofessional. Shouldn't bandits be very aggressive? He did not pay the money, and he could even go back the way he came from. He was in high spirits as he strode forward, picked up his sword and waved it a few times, then said with a posture: "Hey, I'm the one who runs this path, this tree is mine to plant. If you want to live here, leave behind some money to buy the road!"

At this moment, the other bandits also jumped down. Just like Han Yu and the others, they stared blankly at Zuo Rulan Fan, completely clueless as to what was going on! Zuo Ruping felt funny in her heart. Her face swelled up with an awe-inspiring aura, and in addition to her height that of an ordinary person, she really did look like someone who wanted to rob a family. She was completely different from the elegant white-clothed person.

The leader was stunned, he scratched his head and said, "You little brat, you actually dare to rob your master? Hmph, if you don't have money, then hurry up and get lost!"

Although they hadn't been bandits for long, they didn't have much patience when faced with someone who had suddenly changed his character. They waved their hands, indicating Zuo Rulan Fan to leave as soon as he knew it.

"So what if I don't leave?"

The five bandits thought to themselves, they are the main characters, shouldn't we negotiate with them? Why did he suddenly turn into someone who would rob and beat them, a character who didn't know how to live and kill, even if he were to rob and rob bandits! He snorted coldly and said, "If you don't want to leave, you can only drink forfeit wine!"

Zuo Rulan Fan did not want to waste time talking to the people in front of him, so he was already very anxious. Holding the sword in his hand, he drew a long mark on the ground with the tip of his sword.

The five men immediately became alert and raised their blades, ready to strike at any moment.

A man behind the leader of the bandits whispered into the man's ear, "Chief, let's hurry up. We won't be able to listen to the storytelling if we're late."

When the leader of the bandits heard this, he thought to himself, "Good, finish this quickly!"

The leader of the bandits put away his long blade, cupped his hands and said, "Hehe, this friend. It seems that we have misunderstood. You can leave now, give us ten taels of silver."

Zuo Rulan Fan was dumbfounded. This bandit was indeed an incompetent bandit. She immediately took out a silver ingot and tossed it over.

The leader of the bandits stretched out his hand and stuffed it into his waist without even looking at it, then turned to the other four and said, "Alright, everyone has the money to listen to the book, let's go back!"

"Great, let's go!"

Everyone else agreed and followed the leader inside. It was noon right now, so no one would come out for the time being in such a hot weather.

Zuo Rulan Fan couldn't help but be amused and followed the rest of them.

The five bandits felt that something wasn't right, and all of them quickly turned their heads to look at Zuo Ruping, who was just inches away, and asked, "Why aren't you following us?"

Zuo Rulan Fan shrugged, "Aren't I walking?"

The leader took a step forward and said with certainty as he looked at Zuo Lifan, "You want to go up the mountain."

Zuo Lifan chuckled and said, "You guessed it right. I'm going up the mountain."

The five of them flashed their sabers and one of them said, "No, our lord has ordered that all handsome young men are not allowed to go up the mountain unless they are allowed to pay three thousand taels of silver."

"3000 taels of silver is really not Doha!"

Zuo Rulan Fan retorted as he pulled out the sword in his hand again, and said coldly: "I don't have any money, but I definitely have to go up the mountain!"

The leader of the bandits also angrily shouted, "It looks like we can't not start something up. Brothers, get on with it, I'll take his clothes. The rest is up to you!"

"Pfft!"

It was really funny. Zuo Rulan glanced at his clothes, they were the least valuable items in the world.

What he did not know was that the leader of the bandits was not stupid. He thought that he had seized the most valuable things in advance, and his true intention was to humiliate this ungrateful man in green clothes.

"Are you afraid? We'll see the truth!" Zuo Rulan said in disdain.

"Come, come, come!"

The man rolled up his sleeves and put on a posture. "Then let's spar and see how you turn into a bear!"

"You're courting death!"

Zuo Ruping sneered in disdain as she took the lead and leapt up. Sword light filled the sky as her sword flashed like lightning.

The blade seemed to be very slow.

But before the sword light had arrived, the saber had already broken through the sword light, forcing it back.

The leader of the bandits hacked down with his saber, bringing about the sound of wind, this slash was truly powerful, Zuo Rulan Fan took a step back, the leader of the bandits seemed to be full of strength, yet his slash was just a feint. When he saw Zuo Rulan Fan retreating, he smiled, and changed his attack to a fierce stab, accelerating his movement and thrusting forward!

However, one or two of them were so pale that they almost cried out in surprise. They did not expect that the step taken by Zuo Rulan Fan was empty as well, as the leader of the bandits had predicted, and with his left foot as the center, he swung his right leg in an arc, accurately kicking the side of the leader's blade.
