Falling in a pool of blood, the bandit looked at the direction Zheng Shao left with a look of deep regret in his eyes, but no matter how regretful he was, he couldn't put his head back.
The guards were very fierce and fought their way into the main room.
The ground was strewn with corpses.
Zhang Ling held the knife with fear in his eyes. He didn't expect that Yang Shu would retaliate so quickly and killed him directly.
Why didn’t the trap at the foot of the mountain work?
Of course it won't work. Yang Shu had people figure out Xishan long before taking action, not to mention that they had been here once.
Looking at the bloodstains on the guards, Zhang Ling regretted it. He should have listened to Zheng Shao. Why should he be an enemy of King Ding's Mansion?
The officers and soldiers who suppressed the bandits before were so useless that he went crazy and ignored everyone. He knew that the Yang family army was stronger than ordinary guards, but he did not expect to be so strong.
All of them can fight one against five!
"Let's send them on their way before the sun goes down." Yang Shu said softly.
"Zhang Ling will stay here for a while. The Mountain King has been working for so long and I think he has accumulated a lot of wealth."
Seeing that begging for mercy was in vain, the bandits roared and rushed forward. Their momentum was good, but their force was not enough.
In just two minutes, Zhang Ling was the only one left in the main room.
Zhang Ling looked at the corpses all over the ground, and he rushed towards Yang Shu with red eyes.
Fang Zhuang hit Zhang Ling on the wrist with the back of his knife. When he let go, he took the knife from Zhang Ling and then kicked him down.
The guard took out the rope and tied Zhang Ling tightly.
To prevent this guy from getting too hot and biting his tongue to commit suicide, they pinched Zhang Ling's mouth open and blocked it with a coarse cloth.
"Don't kill him!" A voice sounded urgently.
Zheng Shao stumbled over and knelt down. His body was covered with dirt, his face was smeared with blood, and he was extremely embarrassed.
Yang Shu turned his head, raised his eyebrows, and looked at the guard.
"Your Majesty, we searched very thoroughly. I really don't know how he came out." The guard said hurriedly.
"There is a secret passage in the village." Zheng Shao explained to Yang Shu.
"Why didn't he run away?" Yang Shu glanced at Zhang Ling.
"The secret passage has not been maintained for a long time and has collapsed. Tall people cannot get down. The prince is coming so fast that the master should not have time to dig through it."
As he spoke, Zheng Shao raised his head and looked directly at Yang Shu, "The Crown Prince is not an ordinary person." Zheng Shao sounded very sure.
It is impossible for an ignorant and ignorant playboy to remain indifferent and calm in the face of corpses all over the ground.
Yang Shu raised the corners of her lips, "How do you want to impress this prince?"
"As a wise man, you should know that the mouth of the dead is the tightest."
Zheng Shao looked at Zhang Ling and said, "The boss doesn't know how to write. If you cut his tongue, he won't be able to stir up trouble no matter how much trouble he makes."
"You put the person down on the mountain, and I will tell you the secret of Xishan."
"It will definitely satisfy the prince."
Zhang Ling was ashamed and his eyes were red. They all felt that Zheng Shao was useless and could not kill people with a knife, but in the end, he exchanged his life for his own.
Zhang Ling is more familiar with Xishan than Zheng Shao, so how can anyone impress Yang Shu.
"Fang Zhuang." Yang Shu called out, indicating that he should do as Zheng Shao said.
Fang Zhuang didn't say much. He squatted down, took out the coarse cloth from Zhang Ling's mouth, and cut off Zhang Ling's tongue with a slash of his dagger.
Zhang Ling's pupils were wide open and his veins were bulging like earthworms. He opened his mouth and made no sound while the guards helped him drag him out.
Zheng Shao watched Zhang Ling leave. After saving his life, he was now in love.
"What's the secret in Xishan?" Yang Shu looked at Zheng Shao with interest, "I can let him go or arrest him again. The secret you tell me is best if it really satisfies me."
"Please, Prince, follow me to the back mountain." Zheng Shao got up from the ground. The secret passage was too blocked and he forced his way in. He suffered many bruises on his body and his feet were hit by stones. He walked a little slowly.
Yang Shu followed closely, his eyes always falling on Zheng Shao.
According to the information he found out, Zheng Shao was not respected in the village and was often ridiculed behind his back. Zhang Ling treated him fairly well, but was this a good idea worth his life?
The look in this man's eyes didn't look like he was a loner.
"My prince is puzzled as to why our friendship has reached this point? Zhang Ling's treatment of you is not a heart-warming one, but a meal at most. If he really protects you, everyone in the village will not look down upon you."
Zheng Shao's eyes did not change, and he replied calmly, "I was hungry and fainted by the river. It was Zhang Ling who picked me up. If it wasn't him, I would be a withered skeleton."
"Although I haven't read much, I know that I should repay the kindness of saving my life with my life."
Yang Shu looked away, "I started a lot of things before today. I know not only 10% but 70% of the situation in the village."
"These bandits only rely on brute force. If it weren't for you, the village would have been captured long ago."
"They don't want to be grateful. Instead, they feel that all the credit belongs to themselves, and they wantonly belittle you."
"Zheng Shao, don't you feel resentful in your heart?"
"Grudge." Zheng Shao replied simply, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for venting your anger on the villain."
Yang Shu smiled and said, "You are very honest."
"I'll ask you again, what do you think I should do with those women?"
"A villain is not qualified to make decisions for the prince." Zheng Shao looked at his feet and said.
"I just want to hear what you have to say." Yang Shu stopped.
Zheng Shao looked at him, pursed his lips, hesitated, and said in a deep voice: "Most of them were robbed up the mountain. They did nothing wrong and don't understand anything. Even if they were let go, it wouldn't matter. Didn’t see it.”
After Zheng Shao finished speaking, no one spoke for a long time.
The depressing atmosphere made Zheng Shao feel uneasy.
"I'll do as you say." Seeing Zheng Shao break out in cold sweat, Yang Shu said casually.
"Your Majesty, I would like to thank you for your great kindness." Zheng Shao knelt down and kowtowed to Yang Shu.
"Let's go on."
Yang Shu rubbed the jade twice with his hands, his eyes darkened.
In the bandit's den, there was still a stronghold and he was killed with one sword. It was a pity.
"Your Majesty, stop." After walking for a quarter of an hour, Zheng Shao turned around and said to Yang Shu.
"arrive?"
"There's still a long way to go." Zheng Shao didn't dare to hide it. He didn't think he could escape under Yang Shu's nose.
"If you haven't arrived yet, why don't you leave?"
"There are traps a hundred meters ahead. The villain will get rid of them first."
Zheng Shao said, turning sideways and slipping through the gap between two trees.
In the next five minutes, Yang Shu's eyes went from calm and calm to widened, and then tightened again and again, and the intensity of the contraction became stronger each time.
Even Fang Zhuang and the others straightened their bodies.
"Your Majesty, it's a bit scary."
"Are you sure it's a bit?"
Looking at the iron fences that were joined together, Yang Shu's eyes narrowed again.
What the hell is this? Just click it!
"Your Majesty, it's so scary!" The guard grabbed Yang Shu's sleeve, "If you enter by mistake, you'll be able to poke a hornet's nest."
"Your Majesty, I miss home."
"I want, too."
Guards, you say something and I say something to express your fear.
They have seen a lot of traps, but they have never seen one like this, which is launched in all directions and at the same time, without any blind spots! Even wearing armor can't save your life!
There is no way to survive at all!
The scary thing is that you don't need to step on anything. As long as you go in, they can turn the wooden disk and pierce you thoroughly.
Yang Shu's eyes were fixed on Zheng Shao. Was he a participant in these traps, or was he the one who designed them?
