Chapter 122: Bandits (Part )
Chapter 122: Bandits (Part )
At this time, Li Mao was shouting at the top of his lungs in the front.
"We will be at the border of Seoul in a little while. The bandits here are running wild everywhere. Everyone should be more careful and be cautious!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people suddenly rushed out from the front.
There was no need to think about it, it must be bandits. Everyone's heart suddenly rose to their throat and they became extremely nervous.
The leader swaggered forward and blocked their way, his eyes looking up and down at the exile team like a scanner.
There were several officials in the team, as well as a group of people wearing tattered clothes with patches on top of patches. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this was definitely a team that had been exiled to Seoul.
At first they thought that since they were all poor and unlucky people, they would not take advantage of their misfortune to rob them. Besides, the exiles usually had little money in their pockets.
But just when those bandits were about to pack up and leave, they suddenly discovered that there was a group of people behind the team who were dressed elegantly, forming a sharp contrast with those who were dressed in rags.
He began to wonder in his heart and hesitated for a long time: [Could it be that they are also in this exile team? ]
Then they strode forward and sneered at the top of their lungs.
"Humph, leave all your money to me, and I might even spare your lives!"
At this time, Wu Yong hurried forward and spoke in a gentle voice with a smile.
"Brother, we are the guards who escorted them to Seoul. You see, we are really poor. We don't have any money."
"That's not right. Look at those people. They are dressed so brightly and beautifully. You can tell at a glance that they are rich and powerful. How could they be poor?"
Hearing this, the prisoners were so angry that they blew their beards and glared at Ye Zirou and the others.
Wu Yong suddenly became angry, his eyes widened like bells, and he shouted loudly and rudely.
"You are a bunch of lawless bandits. How dare you blatantly rob people on the road in broad daylight! Do you have any law?"
The bandit leader curled his lips and said nonchalantly: "The king's law? I never have! In this wilderness, I am the king's law!"
Li Mao stepped forward and said, "You are doing evil and bullying innocent people. How can you be called a hero?"
The bandit leader had a ferocious look on his face, waving the big knife in his hand and laughing wildly.
"Haha, stop pretending to be a hero. Once you get to this place, you have to coil up like a dragon or lie down like a tiger! Hand over your property obediently, and maybe I can spare your life!"
The bandit leader continued to threaten fiercely: "Don't waste your time, just hand over all your valuables to me. If you dare to hide them, you will be in trouble. I don't have that much patience to waste with you!"
Li Mao responded: "We are really penniless. We have been eating and sleeping in the open air all the way. We are extremely poor. Even if you kill us all, we will still have nothing."
At this time, a man in the bandit group who seemed to have a little conscience whispered.
"Brother, they look so miserable, they don't seem to be lying, I guess they really don't have anything valuable, why don't we just forget about it and stop wasting time here."
The bandit leader glared and shouted, "No! We worked so hard today, how can we return empty-handed? Even if we can only take a few rags from them, it won't be in vain!"
Li Mao shouted angrily: "You are a bunch of crazy guys, you have no humanity at all! Even if we really have property, we will never give it to you robbers!"
The bandit leader waved his knife and yelled frantically: "Hmph, stop talking to me! If you don't give me money, I will not be polite and will chop off your fingers one by one!"
Ye Zirou and Mo Tianyu walked forward, with a gentle but firm smile on their faces, and said in a soft but clear voice: "My dear brothers, please listen to what I have to say first.
Look at our team, the old, the weak, the small, all of them are pale and skinny, with ragged clothes, how can we have anything valuable?"
The bandit leader frowned and looked at Ye Zirou and Mo Tianyu with a complicated expression. He felt that the two had extraordinary temperaments and were definitely not ordinary bandits.
But he still pretended to be vicious and shouted at Ye Zirou: "Little girl, you are quite good at talking. Don't think that you can let us go just by saying a few nice words!"
Ye Zirou smiled slightly and replied slowly, "Brother, there are more ways to survive than just robbing."
The bandit leader snorted coldly: "Humph! Not robbing? What else can we do? Are we going to starve to death?"
There was sincerity in Ye Zirou's eyes.
"Brother, as long as you are willing to change, there is always a way."
Ye Zirou could see that the bandits were not unforgivable criminals, and she wanted to persuade them to lay down their weapons.
"Little girl, stop using sweet words here. I want money today. If you don't give me money, no one else's words will work!"
In fact, those bandits were also forced into a desperate situation by life.
If the people of Seoul were not living in dire straits and had no way to make a living, why would they choose to take the path of no return such as robbery?
Ye Zirou's expression turned stern, and she said, "If that's the case, then there's no point in saying more."
Ye Zirou suddenly flashed and acted as quickly as a ghost, snatching the big knife from the bandit leader's hand in the blink of an eye.
Everyone was shocked. No one expected that the seemingly weak Ye Zirou could have such skills.
Li Mao and Wu Yong were even more stunned. At this moment, they felt mixed emotions.
When Li Mao saw Ye Zirou like this, he couldn't help but feel that there was a world of difference between him and her. Then when he saw her with Mo Tianyu, he thought they were a match made in heaven.
What Wu Yong was thinking was that it was a good thing that he listened to Li Mao, otherwise he might have died on the road.
The bandit leader didn't expect the woman in front of him to have such skills. He was horrified and asked in a trembling voice: "Who... who are you?"
Ye Zirou held a large knife in her hand and swung it in the air. The blade flashed coldly in the sunlight. She said loudly, "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is... you have been poisoned by me."
Just now, Ye Zirou had already given them a muscle softening powder. It was not a poison. Ye Zirou was just trying to trick them.
Before the bandits could react, they felt dizzy and their limbs went weak one after another.
"Wha...what?"
At this time, the bandit leader shook his head, trying to stay awake, and then he realized that Ye Zirou's words were not false.
The bandits looked at each other, all showing fear.
They are actually a group of ordinary people who have been forced into a desperate situation by life and have no choice but to take the path of banditry. After all, who really wants to die?
