The mountain leopard was drinking rice soup, while the woman was watching.
"Sister, go ahead and get busy."
Zhuanshan Bao felt very uncomfortable and turned around and said something.
"good."
The woman said yes, but did not move her feet. Instead, she pulled up a chair and sat down, saying, "Brother, have you ever heard of the Mountain Leopard?"
Zhuanshan Leopard's face froze, and he coughed twice to cover up: "I've heard that Mount Baektu has a big...beard."
"Have you seen what he looks like?"
"I've never seen him before. I heard he looks a bit fierce."
"How old are you? Do you have a beard?"
"How can I..."
Midway through his words, Zhuan Shanbao suddenly felt something was wrong. He raised his head suddenly and met the woman's burning eyes, which were full of hatred.
"伱......"
There was a "buzz" in Zhuanshan Bao's head, and he suddenly felt like the world was spinning, and his whole body was weak. His hands loosened, and the pottery bowl fell to the ground with a "crash".
He understood everything at once. The woman had already figured out his identity and had drugged the rice soup.
Thinking back now, the herbal medicine used for external application must have been added with ingredients, but he thought it was because the wound was itching due to healing, so he didn't take it to heart.
Originally, with his cultivation, it would not be difficult to suppress this toxicity, but he was seriously injured and did not take precautions.
"Girl, what did you put in the soup?"
Zhuanshan Bao felt bitter and said in a hoarse voice, trying to delay time by talking.
"Golden flower!"
While the woman was speaking, she pulled out a thick hemp rope from under her clothes, quickly put it around his neck, and pulled back hard.
Because of excessive force, Zhuan Shanbao's head hit the head of the bed with a bang.
"You got the wrong person……"
The mountain leopard grabbed the rope with both hands and struggled desperately, making a "ho ho ho" sound from its mouth.
"You can't admit it, I'll recognize you even if you turn into ashes!"
The woman held on to the rope tightly and fell with all her weight.
The rope gradually tightened, and the mountain leopard found it difficult to breathe. A thought arose in his despair: I have been the hero for half my life, but I died at the hands of a woman!
After half a cup of tea, Zhuanshan Bao rolled his eyes, kicked his legs violently, tilted his neck and stopped moving.
The woman was worried that he was not dead, so she strangled him for a while and tried his breathing and heartbeat. Then she fell down and sat on the ground, crying loudly: "I will avenge you for that wound!"
"Did you kill the Mountain Leopard?"
Zhao Lin walked into the house and asked in surprise when he saw this scene.
He tracked it all the way here, expecting to experience a fight, but he didn't expect the mountain leopard to die in this way.
Apart from joy, there is also a little regret.
I'm glad that I finally got rid of this major worry and no longer have to worry about retaliation in the future.
It's a bit regretful, but it's because I made a big decision to absorb the spirit of Wen Xiang Mink, but the mountain leopard died in the hands of others.
It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter who he dies in. If he doesn’t have a keen sense of smell, he won’t be able to find this place, right?
"Yes...I killed him."
The woman killed the mountain leopard, and then she remembered that she was afraid. When she saw that Zhao Lin was covered in blood and did not look like a bandit, she hesitated and said.
"Don't worry, I'm just here to hunt him down."
Zhao Lin put away the iron ruler and spread his hands, indicating that he had no ill intentions.
The woman breathed a sigh of relief, wiped away her tears, and slowly got up from the ground.
"I'll take the body away to avoid getting into trouble."
Zhao Lin walked to the bed and saw that Zhuan Shanbao's face was swollen, the corners of his mouth were bleeding, and there was unwillingness on his face. He couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, untied the rope and lifted the body.
"Thank you, sir." The woman thanked her.
Zhao Lin took a few steps and turned back to warn: "There may be sporadic bandits escaping from the mountains in the past two days. You'd better find a place to take shelter."
After saying that, he walked out of the village all the way to a secluded and uninhabited place, cut off the head of the mountain leopard, and went straight to Fuli Valley.
This time, I didn’t even bother to identify the direction. I could just find the way by smelling the scent I left behind when I came.
The sun was setting in the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyed his shoulders a layer of light gold.
Zhao Lin felt happy and flew freely through the mountains and forests.
When we were still more than ten miles away from Fuli Valley, a thin figure appeared in front of us.
That man also saw Zhao Lin, and with a movement of his body, he rushed towards him like lightning.
Seeing the menacing attack of the other party, Zhao Lin immediately drew out his iron ruler and prepared for it, thinking to himself: "Is there such a person among the bandits?"
When he saw the man's face clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief and said in surprise: "Master, why are you here?"
The person who came was none other than Zhu Huaishan. He also recognized Zhao Lin and said with a smile, "I'm not here to find you..."
While speaking, he noticed the human head in Zhao Lin's hand, paused, and said, "Is this person the Mountain Leopard?"
"Exactly."
Zhao Lin then told the story about the mountain leopard that escaped into the mountain village but was killed by a village woman.
"I really didn't expect that he would not be willing to die."
Zhu Huaishan sighed after hearing this.
"Master, how did you find this place?" Zhao Lin asked.
Zhu Huaishan stroked his beard and slowly told what happened.
It turned out that Liang Song went to the county government with three heads and told County Magistrate Liu that all the bandit leaders were basically dead and it was a good time to go into the mountains to suppress the bandits.
Magistrate Liu called in the guards to check the heads, and after confirming that the three men were important leaders of the bandits, he immediately decided to mobilize the police and garrison troops. At the same time, he also sent someone to ask the martial arts sect in the city to send people to help suppress the bandits.
Liang Song went to Liuhemen to inform him of the incident. Zhu Huaishan was worried that something might happen to Zhao Lin, so he didn't wait for everyone to gather and asked where Fuli Valley was. He went into the mountain first and happened to meet Zhao Lin coming back with the head of a mountain leopard.
The two walked while talking, and soon came to Fuli Valley. From a distance, they saw a group of officers, soldiers and policemen escorting the bandits out of the valley, followed by many women and villagers who had been captured by the bandits and taken into the mountains.
With the Mountain Leopard gone, no one among the bandits knew the secret passage, and there was no leader left in Qi Realm. The group was leaderless and had no intention of resisting. Except for a few bandits who fled into the mountains, the rest were all arrested.
Zhao Lin handed the head to Zhu Huaishan and said, "Master, it's up to you to take the credit."
Zhu Huaishan was startled for a moment, then immediately understood his intention, took it in his hand, and said with a smile: "That's fine, it would be disrespectful to reject it as a teacher."
Zhao Lin has already suppressed his realm to the strength realm on the way, so there is no need to worry about exposing his cultivation.
"This time the bandit suppression was a complete victory, Liuhemen should be the main contributor!"
Magistrate Liu was wearing bright armor and riding a tall horse. He was in high spirits. When he saw Zhao Lin and Zhu Huaishan approaching, he immediately jumped off the horse, stepped forward and said loudly.
The Diamond Leopard gang has been running rampant in Baektu Mountain for many years, and even the state capital was unable to do anything about it. But this time they were uprooted. No wonder he was so excited.
The people from the martial arts schools who came with him all cast envious glances.
County Magistrate Liu glanced at the human head in Zhu Huaishan's hand. He took a closer look and couldn't help but gasp, "He is..."
Zhu Huaishan nodded and smiled, "Exactly."
"Okay, all in one fell swoop!"
Magistrate Liu put his hands on his hands and laughed. After obtaining Zhu Huaishan's consent, he ordered people to carry the head of the mountain leopard and gallop in front of the valley to loudly publicize the matter.
When the bandits saw it, they were all dejected, and even the last glimmer of hope in their hearts was shattered.
