Chapter 120

~4 min read 767 words

Night filled the air.

The camp built against the cliff had dim lights at this moment.

The camp was also unusually quiet.

The large camp was composed of three parts.

The middle one was the main camp, with tall wooden structures resembling pavilions on a cliff.

There were also two smaller camps on the sides.

At this moment, in the middle main camp, hundreds of bandits sat in the hall with wide eyes, holding bright swords and blades in their hands.

In the dim hall, several bandit leaders in armor sat around the table.

"Big Brother, what time is it? Those people still haven't come; are they not coming? If they don't come soon, the brothers are going to fall asleep."

"That's right, Big Brother, why not send a few brothers out to take a look?"

The two deputy leaders beside the bald bandit leader Li Shanfeng couldn't help but mutter.

Li Shanfeng swept a cold gaze over them.

"Damn it, do you think I don't know what you two are thinking?"

"Isn't it because you're still thinking about that young lady we intercepted on the road today?"

"Didn't I tell you, that little lady is a big fish and cannot be touched."

Li Shanfeng narrowed his eyes and said: "The Zhen clan of Zhongshan is extremely wealthy. If that little lady is truly a direct descendant of the Zhen clan, someone will surely come to claim her."

"It might even be that the Governor himself has to give some face."

"You two are probably tired of living; if you offend the Governor, we won't be able to make a living here anymore."

"Those barbarians in Liangzhou are not to be trifled with."

Li Shanfeng's words made the two deputy leaders tremble in fear.

Speaking of those people from Liangzhou, the two deputy leaders still had lingering fears.

When those Liangzhou barbarians first arrived, they wanted to use them to establish their authority.

At the time, the two didn't take it seriously.

But when they saw the strong Liangzhou troops, they immediately became obedient.

If the Governor hadn't notified them in advance to move the camp, small trees might already be growing on their graves by now.

"Keep your things under control," Li Shanfeng said coldly: "Don't say I didn't warn you."

"If you really can't control them, just cut them off and go into the palace to be a eunuch; don't implicate me here."

"I don't care about the others, but no one is to touch that little lady surnamed Zhen."

"If you don't listen, don't blame my blade for not recognizing anyone."

The warned deputy leaders all smiled apologetically and nodded: "Don't worry, Boss, we won't touch her, absolutely not."

"That's right, Boss, since you've spoken, how would we dare to be reckless."

Although they said so.

But thinking of the little lady locked in the next room, the two still felt a fire in their hearts.

It wasn't anything else; it was mainly because that little lady was just too beautiful.

That figure, that appearance.

Having been in Jinyang for so many years, they had never seen such a stunning little lady.

In the small camp next to the main camp.

A smell of old blood filled the entire room.

At this moment, there was no light in the camp.

There were no furnishings in the room either.

Only an empty space.

The windows and doors around the room were all sealed shut.

Only faint moonlight shone into the room through the cracks in the broken tiles above and the cracks in the windows.

Around the room, there was a circle of wooden stakes nailed into the ground.

Around the stakes was a circle of chains.

Dark red, mottled marks looked like old, dried bloodstains.

Each extending chain was tied to a person.

There were men and women, about thirty or forty people.

"Miss... I... I'm still afraid."

A woman dressed as a maid curled her body, with two clear tear tracks on her face sliding from the corners of her eyes to her chin.

Beside the maid, a young girl wearing white fox fur was tied to the ankle by a chain.

The girl, wearing a white skirt underneath, had a cloud-patterned belt around her waist, outlining her slender willow waist.

Her face was as bright as the moon, her eyebrows like distant mountains lying horizontally, and her eyes like flowing autumn water.

A waterfall of black hair was draped over the snow-white fox fur.

Although tied by iron chains, there was not much panic in the girl's eyes. ===== CHAPTER 122 =====
