Even though it was dark night and the visibility was very low, the terrifying aura emanating from the man still made them shiver.
Especially Ruan Tang, that familiar feeling of oppression made her involuntarily grasp Qingfeng's arm.
Qingfeng also felt her nervousness and subconsciously pulled her behind him.
Chunhan was also close to her side, subconsciously protecting her.
Chu Mu sat on the horse and looked down at the three people standing on the ground with a faint look in his eyes.
"If you don't want to die, just cooperate." Chu Mu's voice reached several people's ears through the rain, as cold as frost.
The coldest person was Ruan Tang, because the sound of the pipe sounded very familiar to her.
At this time, a muffled thunder came with lightning.
The bright light of lightning instantly illuminated the face of the man on the horse.
Ruan Tang's heart trembled.
Isn't he the one from whom she borrowed the seed?
This was good, before she could take advantage of others, people came to her door.
The most terrible thing is that now she is doing the job of killing the nine tribes.
Her body shook almost instinctively, and even though she tried hard to restrain it, she couldn't restrain it.
I don’t know if you’re afraid? I was still wet and cold from the rain.
What a hell!
Now she finally knew what it meant to be unlucky and have water stuck between her teeth.
"Qingfeng, can you hold them back?" Ruan Tang lowered his voice and asked in Qingfeng's ear.
What she has to do now is to run away immediately.
"Yes, yes, but..." Qingfeng paused, his eyes fixed on the small crossbow in Chu Mu's hand.
"But what?" Ruan Tang was anxious to death.
"He has a crossbow. Even if I hold them back, you probably won't be able to escape. He can shoot you through with just one arrow." Qingfeng told Ruan Tang truthfully.
Just now he saw with his own eyes the power of that crossbow.
On a rainy night, it was difficult to see clearly from a distance of one foot, but he was able to easily injure several strong men. It can be imagined that his archery skills were already superb.
Although he can deal with these people.
But it is difficult for his hands to defeat the four punches. When he moves, it is difficult to ensure Ruan Tang's safety.
If the archer took the opportunity to shoot an arrow at Ruan Tang, she would not be able to escape.
His ultimate goal is to protect Ruan Tang, so naturally he cannot let her die.
So, now there is a bit of a dilemma.
Ruan Tang swallowed and said tremblingly: "What should we do?"
"Negotiate, negotiate with him."
"Negotiation? How to negotiate? No, he is Prince Ning. He will definitely recognize me as soon as I speak out."
Qingfeng's mouth twitched!
He raised his eyes and looked at the man on horseback holding a crossbow. No wonder he always felt familiar. He turned out to be an old enemy.
"Prince Ning? Hiss! If you had obeyed him, maybe he would have let you go that night." Qingfeng said leisurely, completely like an emotionless robot.
Ruan Tang glanced at him and gritted his teeth, "You want to rebel? Who is your master?"
"I'm serious, otherwise you conquer him and make him your subordinate, so that I can have two masters."
"Go to hell!" Ruan Tang reached out and pinched him hard on the back.
Qingfeng bared his teeth and did not dare to scream.
I didn't expect Qingfeng to be so unreliable, unable to defeat him, and actually wanted to surrender!
Spineless guy!
But what to do now? You can't just wait to die, right?
Ruan Tang took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. If you die, you will die!
She pushed him and Chunhan aside and took a few steps forward.
He raised his head and glanced at Chu Mu on the horse with a bold look, then raised his hand to wipe the rain from his face.
Just when everyone thought she was about to start a verbal battle with the heroes.
Suddenly there was a 'plop' sound, and Ruan Tang fell to his knees directly, and then knocked his head on the ground full of rain and mud.
"Hero, spare your life!"
No one expected that she would make such a move, even Qingfeng and Chunhan were shocked by her.
Next Ruan Tang started to make nonsense.
"Young master, spare your life! We are not bad people. I am a girl from a good family. I went out to play and got lost in the mountains and forests. Unexpectedly, I was targeted by those bandits. I think you are upright and awe-inspiring, so you must not be a bad person. So, Spare our lives!"
Life is more important than anything else, so why not kneel down?
Chu Mu looked at the woman kneeling on the ground who was soaked by the rain. She was wearing a white dress that stood out in the dark night and clung tightly to her exquisite body.
Her hair was messy, and some of it stuck to her face. She looked clearly pitiful, and I felt pity for her.
But Chu Mu felt a sense of familiarity inexplicably, and he felt from the bottom of his heart that this person was treacherous.
His eyes dimmed, and he sneered: "Girl, don't pretend to be stupid with me, I'm not a good person. You say you are a girl from a good family, what evidence is there?"
What evidence? Isn’t my face proof?
I feel pity for looking so charming, is this what a bandit can look like?
Ruan Tang raised his head and raised his hand to push away the broken hair from his face, exposing his entire tender face to him.
It means, look, what a good family and what an innocent face.
But Chu Mu looked at her actions, his eyes became darker, and a sneer appeared on his lips.
He jumped off the horse, walked up to Ruan Tang, knelt down, and grabbed her neck.
"I don't have time to pretend to be crazy and stupid with you. Are you also involved in smuggling well salt?" The corners of his mouth were filled with authority, and his tone was as cold as frost and snow.
Ruan Tang's heart trembled and he continued to quibble, "The little girl can't understand what the young master is saying. We really got lost while playing."
The rain was still falling, hitting the lush green leaves in the mountain forest, making crackling and rustling sounds, but it could not hide the trembling in her voice.
"Playing? Getting lost? Whose little girl and her entourage are playing in this ungrateful place, let alone..."
Chu Mu said, his faint eyes falling on the scattered gold on the ground.
"Who would bring such a big and heavy box of gold with them when traveling? Is it because they are afraid that thieves will not know that you are rich, girl?"
Ruan Tang looked at the gold scattered on the ground, choked, and forgot about it.
"Or is this box of gold that the girl has got from the smuggler's well salt?" His voice suddenly became heavier, and Ruan Tang was so shocked that he didn't know how to argue.
His sharp eyes suddenly flashed with cold light, falling on Ruan Tang through the dark night and rain. She actually felt as scary as a poisonous snake.
"If you cooperate, you will be given a lighter sentence. If you resist, you will be dead!" Chu Mu coldly issued an ultimatum.
Then he leaned into her ear and whispered softly: "If you resist, the girl will be responsible for sleeping with me, and we will settle it together."
Ruan Tang suddenly widened his eyes and looked at him in disbelief.
When was she exposed? How did he find out?
She wore a veil the whole night, and even though he drew a portrait of her with the veil, he didn't know her true appearance.
Moreover, it was night and it was still raining, so she deliberately lowered her voice, which was very different from her voice that night.
How is it possible to find out? How could it be exposed?
Chu Mu looked at her reaction, raised the corners of his lips, and was in a good mood.
"Take the people away." He stood up and gave the order.
"Yes." Nanfeng and the other guards jumped off their horses.
Qingfeng here, when Chu Mu gave the order, took Chunhan and quietly took a few steps back.
Just when Nanfeng and the guards jumped off their horses, Qingfeng grabbed Chunhan's arm, touched the ground with his toes, and the man flew into the air.
"Master, I will take the first step. Don't worry, I will come back to save you."
After Qingfeng's voice fell, Ruan Tang reacted and turned to look at Qingfeng and Chunhan who had disappeared into the rainy night.
I was so angry that my lungs exploded!
She swore that as long as she escaped from Prince Ning, she would definitely cut Qingfeng into pieces!
He was so far away from Dapu that he left his master and ran for his life?
Chu Mu stood up beside him and couldn't help but laugh: "The girl's entourage is really a different kind."
