After rebirth, the Queen of Madness has gone against the will of Heaven

Chapter 484: Soldiers Encountering Bandits

Scar King secretly speculated that this person was just bluffing, and he couldn't help but pretend to be calm and said, "So what if he heard it? Could it be that Fang Yidao will come to save you?"

Murong Yanhui sneered, "You can give it a try! But seeing how cowardly you are, there's no need for Big Brother Fang to intervene. Aren't you after my money? In the martial arts world, trust and loyalty are the most important things. How about we make a bet? If you can beat me, all my money will be yours."

Before Scar King could even open his mouth, Changkong sarcastically said, "Master, why are you nagging him? He looks like a spineless man. I bet he wouldn't dare to fight you face to face. Don't waste your time talking nonsense, just kill him!"

At this moment, Scar King felt even more embarrassed. Even a small servant seemed to look down on him. If he did not respond to Murong Yanhui's challenge, wouldn't it mean that he was afraid of this pretty boy in front of him?

The bandits around Scarface couldn't stand it either. Being woken up in the middle of the night was already frustrating, and now they were being looked down upon. This was intolerable! Life is small, but face is big!

Then three or five people came up to Scar King and urged him, "My Lord, show this pretty boy what a master is! He actually doesn't even take us seriously. That's really too much."

"That's right! That Fang Yidao has been gone for eight hundred years. I'm afraid he can't survive in this martial arts world anymore. What's there to be afraid of his brothers?"

"That's right, boss. We can't lose face. If we fight him, it's not certain who will win!"

After hearing what these people said, Scar King was a little tempted. It was true that he had never lost since he became the leader of the bandits.

Now, facing the provocation of such a pretty boy who doesn't seem to have very high fighting power, if he really retreats, he will only be laughed at.

"Alright! I'll fight you and show you how powerful I, Scar King, am!"

As Scar King spoke, the steel knife in his hand whistled in the wind, looking quite terrifying. Before Murong Yanhui could step forward, Changkong beside him said, "Master, you don't need to take action against such a character, lest you dirty your hands."

"What? You, a mere guard, dare to challenge my master? Are you blind?"

"Humph! We'll know who's blind after the competition!"

As Changkong spoke, he attacked in the direction of Scar King. Scar King barely blocked it with his steel knife. If he had not held the knife with both hands, the steel knife would have been knocked down. Scar King's hands were shaking, and he was shocked. Could it be that these people in front of him were really Fang Yidao's brothers?

Changkong raised his eyebrows and said casually, "How is it? Do you want to come again?"

"The boss, the boss!"

The bandits were shouting loudly, and Scar King gritted his teeth and picked up his steel knife again to fight. However, this time, his knife was knocked to the ground before it reached Changkong. The next second, a thin blade was against Scar King's neck. The cold touch made Scar King speechless.

"Well? Now you know who the dog is?"

Changkong's force increased, and a faint blood mark appeared on Scar King's neck. Scar King begged for mercy again and again: "I am a dog. I didn't recognize the great man. I have offended you two. I hope you will be magnanimous and let us go."

Murong Yanhui glanced at the dozen or so bandits calmly, "I can let you go, but there's one thing I don't quite understand. How did you know we were staying here, and why did you come to attack us in the middle of the night?"

"To be honest, when we were at the city gate, brothers from the mountain saw your carriage, and then they saw you holding the Ye family's badge. The Ye family is considered the richest, so we were blinded by their wealth for a while, and that's why we followed them all the way here."

"You are telling the truth, but if you want me to let you go, you just need to do me a favor."

Murong Yanhui threw a small pill into Scar King's mouth while speaking, "This is poison. If you don't get the antidote before dark tomorrow, you will surely die."

The Scar King said trembling with fear, "Sir, please spare my life. I was wronged for a moment. Since you are Brother Fang's brother, you are also our brother. I was confused for a moment. Please be generous and forgive me."

Murong Yanhui smiled and whispered a few words into Scar King's ear. Scar King's face turned pale and ugly after hearing that.

"How? Can't do it?"

"Yes! I can definitely do it! But after I succeed, where can I find you, sir?"

Murong Yan replied in embarrassment, "It's really hard for me to say. How about this? Tell me where we should go next?"

The Scar King thought for a moment and said, "If you want to go to Canghe, just follow the official road to Lingcheng. There's an inn in Lingcheng called Guiqulai. How about you stay there?"

"Isn't the inn you're introducing a shady place?" Changkong looked skeptical. Scar King shook his head repeatedly, "That inn has absolutely nothing to do with me."

"I'll trust you just this once, but remember, if we get caught, you won't gain anything either. So go ahead."

Scar King nodded repeatedly before leaving in disgrace. Not long after, Yu Qingli emerged from the tent, looking curious. "They're sending them away just like that? Who are these people?"

"They are just a few bandits with no real skills. However, they can help us buy some time."

Yu Qingli suddenly realized something. She smiled at Murong Yanhui and said, "Has anyone ever said that Cang and King Yan are actually treacherous and difficult to deal with?"

Murong Yanhui blinked and said, "I'll take this as a compliment."

"Prince Yan's shamelessness is really getting thicker!"

"I am only so thick-skinned towards you, Lili. You should feel honored for this, right?"

Yu Qingli sighed helplessly, but her ears were already bloodshot. She admitted that it seemed that she had no chance of winning in an argument with Murong Yanhui.

It is worth mentioning that when Murong Yan led them to Lingcheng, Tang Yi resolved the rumors in the palace and returned to the gate of the imperial city with the imperial guards. When he learned that a carriage had left the city without permission during his absence, he immediately led the imperial guards to chase after it.

"Your Highness, this carriage is probably not from the same group as the previous caravan. Their carriage separated from the caravan halfway."

A soldier from the Imperial Guard investigated and reported the situation to Tang Yi. Tang Yi snorted coldly, "As expected, it seems my guess was correct. Murong Yan and his men impersonated the accountant of the Ye Family Chamber of Commerce and took advantage of the caravan's departure from the city to escape together. This King of Yan is indeed cunning."

"Your Highness, should we chase after him?"

"It's natural!"

At Tang Yi's command, the guards immediately chased in the direction of Lingcheng. Everything seemed to be going smoothly along the way. Then, they arrived at a dense forest. Before they could get out of the forest, Tang Yi keenly discovered that they seemed to be surrounded.

"I opened this road and planted this tree. If you want to live from now on, leave money to buy the road!"

Scar King suddenly appeared with a group of bandits and surrounded the group led by Tang Yi.

"Hahaha……"

The officers and soldiers couldn't help but burst into laughter. Jian Ping was also among them. Although he was no longer the commander of the Imperial Guard, he was still appointed by Tang Yi to lead this operation. So, when the bandits were spouting nonsense, Jian Ping said with disdain: "How dare you rob us? You are really blind!"

Scar King had suffered a setback when he met Murong Yan before, and he was already furious. In addition, the officials and bandits had always been at odds with each other. Now, hearing Jian Ping's tone, he couldn't help but get angry.

"I'm going to rob you guys, so stop talking nonsense and give me the money!"

Tang Yi frowned, feeling very unhappy, and ordered Jian Ping, "Solve it for me!"

"Yes!"

Jian Ping responded and ordered his guards to capture the bandits in no time.

Tang Yi looked down at the bandits who were tied up together and said, "Tell me, did you see a carriage passing by here before us?"

"No, no, we haven't seen anything."

Scar King shook his head repeatedly, but Tang Yi didn't seem to believe it. He stepped on the back of Scar King's hand and said, "If you don't tell the truth, I will break your fingers one by one."

Scar King's eyes showed some struggle. "Yes, we didn't know those people were the ones the officer wanted to arrest. I'm sorry, sir, please forgive me."

"Oh? Then tell me, who were the people in that carriage?"

Tang Yi's voice was so cold that Scar King's hair almost stood on end. He said word by word, "There were four people in the carriage. Two of them were burly, but they looked like a master and servant. The other two were thinner, but you could tell they were women disguised as men. Those two women were probably also a master and servant."

"That's a good answer! Now tell me, where did those people go?"

Scar King broke out in a cold sweat and seemed hesitant, but he quickly replied, "We drugged them and took them back to the village."

Tang Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, seeming a little skeptical. Could the King of Yan be drugged so easily? He glanced coldly at the other bandit, "You tell me!"

The bandit looked at Scar King tremblingly. Scar King was secretly anxious. If this kid said something wrong, he would probably be dead now without even having to go to Lingcheng!

"Hurry up and tell me!" Jian Ping shouted sternly.

"He...they...were taken to the mountains...Our leader saw that the woman was pretty and wanted...wanted to capture her and take her back as his wife!"

After he finished speaking, the bandit collapsed to the ground, his clothes were soaked. Scar King glared at the bandit fiercely, blaming the boy for adding nonsense. However, this seemed to add a bit of authenticity to Tang Yi and others. The bandit leader seemed to be blaming the little bandit for telling the truth.

Tang Yi then let go of Scar King and raised his chin towards Jian Ping, "Take him with you and let them lead the way!"
