Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
If the obstacles were removed and there were no more barricades, when she fought them later, it would be a bloody fight at close quarters.
However, if she did not remove the obstacles and the barricades remained, the obstruction could still impede the mountain bandits for a while.
“Why are you not replying? Is the great general still alive?” The second mountain bandit leader shouted again.
At the same time, he secretly hoped from the bottom of his heart that their leader had already been killed by Qin Xiaoyao.
This way, he could order the attack without any reservation.
Now, the Imperial Court’s army outside the town was getting more and more restless.
In the past two hours, they had even sent spies into the town.
Fortunately, his subordinates discovered them in time and forced them away. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, this also meant that the Imperial Court’s army could not wait any longer.
He was worried that the army would charge in by tonight at the latest.
Therefore, he had to solve the problem here at once.
Qin Xiaoyao still didn’t reply. The second mountain bandit leader was overjoyed and immediately barked out, “I knew you wouldn’t keep your promise, you son of a bitch! Men…”
“Who are you calling a son of a bitch?” To their surprise, Qin Xiaoyao spoke up at this moment.
Then, she appeared at the entrance of the dungeon.
“You…” The second mountain bandit leader was a bit surprised.
When he didn’t get a reply from Qin Xiaoyao just now, he thought that she wouldn’t come out. He did not expect…
This son of a bitch! Goddammit!
Qin Xiaoyao smiled as she looked at the second mountain bandit leader. When she saw that he was quite angry, her smile became even more radiant.
“Why? Are you disappointed that I have come out?”
The second mountain bandit leader nearly choked.
Qin Xiaoyao didn’t give him any reprieve. She continued, “Don’t worry. Your great general is still alive and well.
“After all, he is worth ten thousand taels of silver. I can’t bear to see him die.”
“Then where is our great general? Hand him over now!” The second mountain bandit leader snapped back to his senses and shouted at Qin Xiaoyao angrily.
It was acceptable if the other party was willing to make the exchange.
Anyway, he had already arranged for someone to take action during the exchange.
He would kill the great general by mistake while he was killing the intruder.
As for the ten thousand taels of silver notes, some people were not destined to live long enough to spend that sum of money!
Qin Xiaoyao took note of the expression on the second mountain bandit leader’s face.
“He’s in the dungeon, of course.
“Bring the silver notes over first, then I’ll bring the person out for you,” Qin Xiaoyao said.
“No! We’ve already agreed on this. We make the exchange for the hostage and the money concurrently!”
The second mountain bandit leader immediately added, “Besides, how do we know if the great general is still alive?”
He knew it. This son of a bitch was very cunning.
“Heh! Why would I lie to you?” Qin Xiaoyao didn’t get angry. Instead, she laughed in a relaxed manner.
“Alright!
“How about this? You come in with me and take a look See for yourself whether your great general is still alive.
“If he’s alive, then give me the silver.”
The second mountain bandit leader’s face turned ominous.
“Who wants to go in with you?” Wouldn’t entering that place be equivalent to a lamb entering a tiger’s den?
Qin Xiaoyao’s smile didn’t change. “Didn’t you say that you’re not sure if your great general is still alive? I’ll bring you in now for a look Why are you unwilling now?”
When she saw that the mountain bandits were getting a little irritable, Qin Xiaoyao chuckled and said, “Alright. I’ll tell you the truth.
“Your great general is actually slightly injured. He won’t be able to walk out by himself.”
“What did you do to our great general?” Immediately, some of the mountain bandits began questioning Qin Xiaoyao.
Qin Xiaoyao looked at the mountain bandit who had spoken and still maintained an amiable smile on her face.
“Nothing much. He just didn’t cooperate, so he suffered a little.
“You can just send any two of your men to come in with me. They can then help him out.”
When she saw that person’s expression wavering, Qin Xiaoyao continued, “Why don’t you and your second mountain bandit leader do it? I think you two are the most concerned about your great general.”
That man’s expression changed immediately.
Yet, he couldn’t say anything. Instead, he looked toward the second mountain bandit leader for help.
The intruder on the other side didn’t play by the rules.
If they were to go in with the intention to bring the great general out, there was a high chance that they would not be able to return.
The second mountain bandit leader’s face was very glum. Not surprisingly, he would never listen to Qin Xiaoyao.
“We still don’t know whether the great general is alive or dead. Number Three and I have to deal with the affairs outside. You, and you…” The second mountain bandit leader pointed at two people as he spoke.
“You two go in with him and bring the great general back.”
The two mountain bandits who were called out immediately shivered.
“Second Leader!” Some of his men even looked at the second mountain bandit leader with pleading eyes.
The intruder was very vicious and extremely cunning.
If they went in, they would most likely die inside. Wasn’t the second mountain bandit leader sending them to their deaths?
The second mountain bandit leader’s face became as black as thunder.
“What are you shouting for? It’s your honor to be allowed to enter and save the great general!” he said in a low voice.
“The great general has never mistreated you in the past. Now, it’s time for you guys to repay him!”
The two mountain bandits’ faces turned ashen when they heard this.
Finally, they accepted their mission with trembling voices and walked toward Qin Xiaoyao.
The corner of Qin Xiaoyao’s mouth was still curled up. When the two of them got closer, she smiled again.
“Let’s go,” she said.
The two mountain bandits quickly followed.
After they entered the dungeon, Qin Xiaoyao walked in front. The two mountain bandits stared at Qin Xiaoyao’s back profile and carefully followed her from four to five meters away.
At this moment, Qin Xiaoyao’s expression was icy and callous. The smile she had earlier was nowhere to be seen.
The only reason she brought these two mountain bandits in was to buy some more time.
However, once they met the mountain bandit leader and brought him out, there was no way to delay anymore.
Sigh! In the end, she still had to fight a tough battle…
Finally, they arrived.
“There… go see if your great general is still alive,” Qin Xiaoyao suddenly spoke. She turned to look toward the torture rack, where the barely alive mountain bandit leader whose mouth was stuffed with cloth was hanging from.
The two mountain bandits froze abruptly.
Then they turned to look in the direction Qin Xiaoyao was pointing.
When they saw the miserable state of the mountain bandit leader, the two of them were so aghast that their eyes widened and they couldn’t speak at all.
Their great general had been given a… penectomy by this intruder…
When the mountain bandit leader heard that someone had arrived, he raised his eyes and saw Qin Xiaoyao and the two mountain bandits who had come in with her.
Hope was instantly ignited in his originally dejected eyes, and he began to struggle vigorously. At the same time, muffled cries could be heard coming from his mouth.
One of the mountain bandits quickly came back to his senses and rushed towards the mountain bandit leader.
“Great General, Great General! Are you alright?” As he asked anxiously, he fiddled with the chains that bound the mountain bandit leader.
It was only when he got closer that he realized that the tendons on the great general’s hands had been sliced through by the assassins.
This was too brutal…
The intruder had already crippled the great general!
However, this was not important. No matter what the great general’s condition was, as long as he was alive, they had to bring the great general out.
As long as they could get out of here safely, the great general would definitely reward them handsomely.
With such thoughts in mind, the mountain bandit became even more anxious.
The other mountain bandit came up and looked at Qin Xiaoyao.
“Brave hero, I’ll have to trouble you to give me the key. We… we’ll take the great general away.”
He didn’t have the guts to question or scold the intruder..
