After resting in the inn for a day, everyone's spirits had finally somewhat eased up.
After staying in the mountains for several days, he really couldn't hold on any longer.
"master, are you really going to enter the palace? Why do I have a bad feeling about this."
By the side of the carriage, Gu Lang was riding a fine horse, and looked around.
The mountains on both sides of the road were seemingly blocking their line of sight. If someone were to ambush here, they would not be able to see the enemy, and could only wait to be beaten up.
It wasn't Gu Lang's fault for having such a feeling. Lin Chuyue had also felt the strange aura that permeated the air.
He didn't know if it was the group of men in black.
"Let's wait and see. If something really happens, we can settle it."
"Phew …"
Just as Lin Chuyue finished speaking, the carriage stopped.
"What's wrong?"
Raising the curtain of the carriage, Lin Chuyue saw the huge rocks not far away.
"If we return to the Miss Lin, there will be a bunch of huge rocks blocking our way. It should be because of the recent rain, and the rocks will roll down. We will immediately move the huge rocks away."
As he said that, a dozen soldiers began to move the huge stones with much difficulty.
Frowning, Lin Chuyue glanced at the mountain peak.
"Qingyi, can you tell where it is?"
Even though the people at the top were well-hidden, they were still no match for her eyes.
"Northeast and Northwest, behind us too."
Qing Yi's words meant that they were already surrounded.
With the sound of a long horn, everyone saw a steady stream of people being used up from both sides of the mountain.
Those people held big blades, the edge of the blades releasing sinister cold light, but at the same time, Gu Lang and the rest squinted their eyes, protecting Lin Chuyue in the middle.
"master, it seems like they are all bandits."
Other than the beautiful name of the rich mountain range, Heavenly Awakening Kingdom was also a name that resonated throughout the four nations, and that was the State of the Mountain Bandits.
It was precisely because there were so many mountains that the bandits hid within the mountains and became more prosperous day by day. Furthermore, the bandits from several foreign countries also came, causing the Heavenly Awakening Kingdom that was already filled with bandits to become even more numerous.
Hundreds of bandits ran down with shining sabers in their hands. Dust could clearly be seen flying on the hillside on both sides of the road.
Lin Chuyue jumped down from the carriage and picked up the Thunder God.
"master, what are you doing?"
"What do you think?"
"Thor!" Thunder God slowly unsheathed himself. A cold light flashed, and an incomparable aura of might emanated from it. Come and fight, let's see who can catch the most bandits. "
Lin Chuyue's words stunned Gu Lang and the others. Capturing a bandit, and not kill him?
But since the master had already said so, they could only be merciful and spare the lives of these bandits.
There were roughly two hundred bandits, surrounding the entire carriage from front to back.
There were quite a few people in the convoy, but other than the guards that Lin Chuyue herself had brought, they were mostly fodder.
Master Shang Shu Min of Heavenly Awakening Kingdom had been hiding inside the carriage since a long time ago, and was so scared that she did not dare to come out.
Normally, if they were to meet bandits, they might be able to use money to leave a path for survival. But now, the target of these bandits was very obvious.
"Oh, I didn't expect to meet a convoy from Hua Kingdom today. It seems like that person was right, after stealing the Flame King's woman, we will be rich."
The leader with the scarred blade raised his blade horizontally as he looked at Lin Chuyue, his eyes filled with the light of greed, "Killing you would be a waste, why not follow me, it's better than being a Prince Yan's Wife."
These people obviously already knew Lin Chuyue's identity. Could it be that like the rest of the people in Sky Magi, there were also people who informed him, that they would pass by here?
Clearly, this was the answer.
"Little girl, you look pretty young and tender. How about you go back with our big brother and be the wife of a stronghold master? "Hahaha!"
The big man behind the scarred man laughed out loud, causing the bandits to also laugh out loud.
At this time, the master hidden in the carriage lifted the curtain, and pushed the box in his hand out of the carriage. "Heroes, these are all gold and silver, take them to buy wine for our brothers and let us pass."
This action of Lord Min made everyone look down on him.
As an imperial court official, he was actually bowing and kneeling to the bandits. This was a great shame and humiliation.
The leader of the knife-scarred men pointed at the box in front of Master Min. With a 'ka!' sound, the knife fell down. The wooden box was split in half, and gold fell out of it.
"I say, Lord Min, you're not nice enough. You treat us brothers as beggars, right? We have more than a thousand mouths, so what are you doing with this little bit of gold?"
The knife-scarred man stared at Lord Min without cutting. As he spoke, the large blade in his hand once again landed in front of Lord Min, scaring a certain someone into retreating.
"Spare us, we have money, we have as many men as we want. We only hope that we can let us pass."
As Lord Min spoke, he took out another box of gold from the carriage and passed it to the scarred man.
"Since there's gold, why not just take it out earlier. Lord Min isn't happy at all. Brothers, tie up this girl and tie her up. Everyone else will be killed."
"Yes, Big Brother!"
The knife-scarred man's words stunned Lord Min. Normally, he would just give them some silver taels, but today, this person did not intend to leave them any hope of survival.
"Good man, good man, you can't go back on your word!" I've already given you the silver, you should let us go! "
"I'll let you go, I'll let you go! We're all brothers here for food and drinks! Lord Min, you sure know how to joke around!" The knife-scarred man looked at Mister Min with pity. However, a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes. The moment the broadsword in his hand fell, a silver light firmly blocked his attack.
Raising his head, he glared at the lady in front of him with his sinister eyes. The knife-scarred man turned his hand and swung his blade towards Lin Chuyue, "Young lady, you are still young, your martial arts are impressive."
"Hmph, you are still better at doing things to me."
With the Thunder God in his hand, all the sharp blades in the world broke. The moment the knife-scarred man's blade landed on the Thor'S Knife's blade, there was a crisp sound as it was sliced into two.
Lin Chuyue did not stop her attack because of that. She bent down and used her hand to cover the blade hilt, in the next second, a long blade dripped onto the knife-scarred man's neck, as long as she used a bit of strength, he would take away the knife-scarred man's life.
On the other side, Gu Lang, Kun Peng and Qing Yi had also defeated a few hundred bandits.
On the official road between the two mountains, Lin Chuyue crossed her legs and looked at the two hundred plus bandits who were squatting in front of him.
"Speak, who sent you here? What is the purpose of your visit?"
A bandit was a bandit, and a bandit was a bandit. Once he lost, he would obediently act like his grandson.
The knife-scarred man, who had a fierce-looking face a moment ago, chuckled, "Big sister, I'll say, I'll say it all!"
