"I didn't expect you to be so easy to catch."
A middle-aged man was sitting on the highest chair in the main hall of the wooden building, drinking tea leisurely while glancing at Mu Zhihuan from the corner of his eyes.
Although the man had a robust physique, his actions didn't seem like those of a boorish man.
Mu Zhihuan faintly frowned: "Who are you? "Why did you catch me?"
The man slowly put down the teacup and shot a glance at Mu Zhihuan from the corner of his eye: "It's enough as long as I know who you are. Mu Zhihuan, the wangfei whose Prince Lee's Mansion is not favoured, is currently being carried by Jiang Zisu's side almost all the time.
"Of course, it could also be because you have a cute son, and the reason why you're the talented girl that the Wind Bird has recently sprung up might not be because of me."
Who knew that this person would be able to investigate his background so clearly? Mu Zhihuan's heart sank.
At first, she had been very optimistic, thinking that it was just a robbery. But now, it seemed that it wasn't a robbery, the other party had come precisely for her.
"You are from the Consort Xian?"
If one were to talk about the people he had offended recently, other than Yang Qiuyu, it would be the Consort Xian.
Yang Qiuyu was only the daughter of a merchant family. It was impossible for them to get to know these bandits, so they could only be members of the Consort Xian.
The man didn't expect her to react so quickly. He squinted his eyes and smiled. "I guessed the right direction, but she isn't enough to order me around."
Hearing this, Mu Zhihuan was startled, and suddenly remembered the person that Gu Mingxuan told her about at the crown prince's residence.
It's over, Mu Zhihuan's heart almost sank to the bottom of the lake, this person actually even told me this, it seems like he's not going to let her out alive.
"What are you talking about? I don't understand, how much did Consort Xian give you? Let me go, I'll give you twice as much. "
Seeing that Mu Zhihuan was pretending to be stupid, the man did not reveal it, but now is not the time, I just want to see you, if there's nothing else, bring her away.
Just as he said that, the bronze colored muscular man walked in, and just as he was about to grab Mu Zhihuan's arm, he was slapped away by Mu Zhihuan.
She frowned and glared at the man unhappily. "I told you to speak properly! "Don't do anything."
As soon as she finished speaking, the man's arm swelled up at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.
The robust man abruptly kneeled on the ground in pain as large droplets of sweat dripped from his forehead. His pitch-black face was pale from the pain. What did you do to me! "
Mu Zhihuan looked at the muscular man with contempt: "Nothing, just venom. You have two choices now."
"The first life is more important, take this arm off."
"Second, die with this arm."
The meaning behind his words was that no matter what, this man would lose an arm.
The brawny man's face was full of blue veins from the pain.
After he heard Mu Zhihuan's words, he unhesitatingly pulled out the sword at his side, pulled out a belt and tied it around his arm, then chopped down without hesitation. A trickle of blood flowed out from the man's mouth, and then, she fell unconscious from the pain.
Mu Zhihuan only coldly looked at the scene before him, her pair of clear and cold eyes unmoved.
When the man seated on the high seat saw all this, a trace of admiration flashed past his eyes. "This young lady's attacks are quite poisonous."
Mu Zhihuan shrugged her shoulders, "It's not good for you to discipline your subordinate. I already told him not to touch me, but he kept on attacking me.
On the surface, Mu Zhihuan pretended to be very calm, but in reality, her heart was already shocked by the bloody scene.
She did not expect the thing that Shen Zhiqiu had given her to be so poisonous, but she was secretly glad that she had asked him for a few things to protect herself when she left.
She believed that with this intimidating act, the people in the stronghold wouldn't be able to do anything to her in such a short period of time.
The man sitting on the high seat did not expect Mu Zhihuan to say that, and the praise in his eyes became even stronger: "If you did not obstruct us, maybe I would have welcomed you."
Mu Zhihuan curled her lips: "You are bandits, I am an official, forget about the threat, if you don't want to cause trouble, then let me go back."
The man looked indifferent. "Since I dared to capture you, I'm not afraid of trouble."
Mu Zhihuan sighed: "What exactly do you want? I am just a mere wangfei, and do not think that it will affect you in any way. "
The man didn't seem to want to discuss this. "Someone, take the princess down for a good look."
After hearing about that man just now, the new person who came in was rather polite to Mu Zhihuan.
Before leaving, he cast a glance at the man on the high seat, then turned around and left.
He had thought that he would be locked up in a narrow and dark cell. Unexpectedly, he had brought her to a spacious wooden house, and that person had left.
Looking at the dazzling array of daily necessities that filled the room, Mu Zhihuan wondered if she had been captured by bandits for a moment.
With such living conditions, the villagers under the bandits would probably be robbed very miserably.
Night fell. Mu Zhihuan quietly opened the window, and then leaped out.
When he entered, he saw that the entire fortress had been isolated by the huge wooden wall. The only way out was through the gate that led to the iron fence door.
Therefore, she could only walk and take a look. As she was thinking about the few patrolling people that would come at the same time, Mu Zhihuan was so scared that she dodged and hid in the shadows of the wooden house.
Then she heard one of the patrollers complain, "Why is today's training so heavy?"
Another person clicked his tongue, "Do you really not know or are you faking it? We've been preparing for so long, and it's finally about to begin. Naturally, our training will be a bit more intense. "
The person who was complaining previously became excited: "Really? That's great! We have been in hiding for a long time, and we are finally going to be of use. "
As the two figures slowly walked further and further away, Mu Zhihuan was still confused by what she heard.
Could it be that this group of people were going to do something big? Under the urge of curiosity, Mu Zhihuan quietly followed the two people.
Then, Mu Zhihuan saw a scene that she would never forget in her entire life. In a huge cave, there were two whole squadrons of people wearing armor and holding weapons, training like soldiers.
That clean movement did not look like an ordinary bandit at all.
Mu Zhihuan covered her mouth in shock, this group of people, were not going to do something big, they were going to rebel.
