Phoenix Duchess - C42

Ma Junping was a middle-aged man in his forties. He wasn’t fat nor was he thin. He was very tall, and he looked like a refined maester. This was somewhat out of DongLing Wan’s expectations. However, Dong Ling Wan wasn’t someone who would be fooled by her appearance. She still remembered Liu Rumei’s words. This person had a bad reputation in the martial arts world, he definitely wasn’t a good person.

At the same time, Ma Junping was also sizing up Eastern Ling Wan. This youth looked to be only 14 or 15 years old, but he dared to bring only one person with him to the mountain to deliver the ransom. It was just that this youth looked really fair and clean, just like a girl.

“Are you the one who sent the ransom?”

“That’s me.” Dong Ling Wan bent down in a bow, but the puzzlement in her eyes became more and more serious.

“Bring out the ransom!”

One of the subordinates extended his hand to take away the box in Chen Huan’s hand, but was stopped by Dong Ling Wan. “Stronghold Chief, before that, may I meet with my brother?”

“I will ask you to see it when the time comes. Where is the ransom?” Ma Junping grunted coldly.

“However, the previous chief said that he would arrange for reinforcements, but after waiting for a few days no one came, so it is unavoidable that I became anxious and worried about brother’s safety, so I rushed over. I only brought one hundred thousand taels of silver with me, and the remaining half, can I go back to the bank to get it?”

When Ma Junping heard this, he sneered: “You’re quite a clever one! However, this chief has never liked people who dare to play small tricks with this chief! “Tomorrow before sunset, bring two hundred thousand silver for a redemption. If you can’t come …”

“This… Stronghold Chief, in a short period of time, where did I get those two hundred thousand silver taels!? ” Dong Ling Wan frowned, looking very anxious.

“Bring the silver tomorrow before sunset. Otherwise, don’t blame this chief for being ruthless!”

“This… “Yes!”

After being sent down the mountain stronghold, Dong Ling Wan and Chen Huan hurriedly walked down the mountain. Although they didn’t know what was going on, it was obvious that their father wasn’t in the hands of this group of people.

In the village, watching the two silhouettes of Dong Ling Wan and Dong Ling Wan disappear into the distance, Ma Junping burst out in laughter, “Men, prepare the wine. I, the chief, will drink a few cups today!”

“Yes sir!”

Ma Junping was about to carry the jar of wine and drink to his heart’s content when a lackey rushed in from below. He said that a group of people were wandering around the outskirts of the Black Cloud Mountain when he caught them.

It turned out that the employer of this group of people had died from an epidemic disease a few days ago. After dividing up the employer’s belongings, they became greedy and sent one of them to deliver a letter to the employer’s home, saying that the employer had been kidnapped by the people from Black Cloud Mountain and sent a ransom of one hundred thousand taels of silver.

They had intended to pretend that they were from the Black Cloud Mountain to contact the person who sent the ransom and kill them to rob them. They had planned to contact the person who sent the ransom and kill them to rob them, but something seemed to have gone wrong and the messenger never came back. “In order to preserve their lives, these people even mentioned that their employer was Dong Haojie, while the person who came to deliver the ransom was the second young miss of the Dong Family, Dong Lingwan.

Before he could finish his sentence, Ma Junping smacked the table fiercely, “It’s a woman! Someone, stop those two men for me! ”

Dong! The Dong Clan, one of the Seven Desires of the Great Ye! If he caught her, it wouldn’t just be a mere two hundred thousand silver taels.

Such a big piece of fat almost slipped out of his mouth!

Dong Ling Wan and Chen Huan rapidly descended the mountain. Unfortunately, the bandits were well-informed and their actions were swift. In less than fifteen minutes, the two of them saw someone chasing after them. Dong Ling Wan said hatefully, “We’ve been exposed!”

Chen Huan couldn’t be bothered about the master and servant pair, she directly picked up Dong Ling Wan and was about to use her qinggong to fly away from this place. However, at this time, an afterimage flew by, and the person who arrived struck Chen Huan’s chest. Chen Huan was caught off guard and fell to the ground together with Dong Ling Wan, coughing up a mouthful of blood.

“Second Miss Dong, since you’ve come to my Black Cloud Stronghold, why are you in such a hurry to leave?” Ma Junping retracted his hand with a fake smile on his face.

“What is it that you want?”

“Haha …” Ma Junping laughed loudly, “Second Miss is a straightforward person!” This is right to our village chief’s taste! ”

Ma Junping changed the topic of the conversation, and his face turned ferocious, “It’s just that this chief has never forgiven anyone who lied to me.”

Remembering the probing tone in every word that this woman said, and recalling his previous actions, Ma Junping felt that he had been played by her!

This woman, he would not let her off so easily!

“Tribe leader, we have no grudges between us. This matter earlier was just a misunderstanding. Since that’s the case, why don’t we sit down and have a good talk?” She tried to keep her composure.

“Sit down and talk?” Ma Junping laughed, “I would like to talk to you in bed!”

“You …” Dong Ling Wan gritted her teeth, “Leader, the power of our boss is not limited to the capital.”

Dong Ling Wan’s heart was already raging with anger. This person! If she went out, she would definitely scrape this person alive!

Looking at the calmness on Dong Ling Wan’s face, Ma Junping was a little hesitant. Indeed, the Dong Family was a hundred year old family, and Black Cloud Mountain was a power that had only risen last year.

After all, Dong Yi Chuan still had a young master on the outside, so the matter of Dong Ling Wan coming to Black Cloud Mountain could not be concealed. If something were to happen to her, Dong Yi Chuan might not let it go!

Ma Junping wasn’t a boorish man who only knew how to fight. On the contrary, he was a wise man who knew how to judge the situation. He knew that Dong Ling Wan couldn’t make a move against him. However, how could he lose face in front of his subordinates? As he thought, he extended his hand to pinch Dong Ling Wan’s chin. “Second Miss …”

“Let go!” Dong Ling Wan dodged with an ice-cold expression, while Chen Huan directly thrust her sword over.

Ma Junping was furious. He looked at Chen Huan’s menacing sword and walked up to her without a second thought, “You don’t know your place!”

The two of them quickly fought. However, Chen Huan had already suffered from Ma Junping’s palm strike with 100% internal energy. She most likely suffered internal injuries, so how could she be his match? After several rounds of sparring, she was already knocked to the ground by Ma Junping. While Dong Ling Wan went to help him, Chen Huan spat out a mouthful of blood, staining half of Dong Ling Wan’s sleeve red. She was on the verge of death.

He saw Ma Junping walk over with a sword in his hand. Dong Ling Wan’s heart tightened. “Wait …”

“Report!”

Before Eastern Ling Wan could finish her words, she was interrupted by a loud announcement. The messenger whispered something into Ma Junping’s ear, causing Ma Junping’s expression to suddenly change: “Bring these two to jail, and the rest of the people will follow me out of the stronghold!”

The two of them were taken to the cell in the stronghold. From the looks of it, no one had entered the cell before they were enveloped in a layer of dust. Dong Ling covered her nose and coughed twice.

“Chen Huan …” “With master’s instructions, I wasn’t able to protect myself well …”

“Alright, go rest!”

Dong Ling Wan frowned. Of course, she didn’t think that these people would treat Chen Huan. She could only advise him to rest more, while she herself was lost in thought. Ma Junping had left in a hurry, but what had happened? If father is not in Black Cloud Stronghold, then where is he? Why did Wang Shun lie?

Eastern Ling Wan rubbed her swollen head. She saw a lackey open the cell door, enter, lock it again, and lewdly approach her.

Dong Ling Wan stood up in shock. She knew something was wrong, but her expression was extremely calm. “If you dare to touch me, Ma Chanping won’t let you off!”

That lackey suddenly stopped in his tracks and laughed again. He kept rubbing his fists and rubbing his palms. His movements were extremely vulgar as he said, “The chief doesn’t have the time to care about you!”

As he said that, he pounced forward with the intention to rip off Dong Ling Wan’s clothes. Dong Ling Wan tried to dodge, but she was too weak, so she couldn’t.

“Bitch!” “What are you pretending to be a pure and loyal woman for!” The lackey was so embarrassed that he turned angry. He slapped Dong Ling Wan down to the ground.

Fresh blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, and she felt her vision grow blurry. Her head was extremely dizzy, but no matter how she tried, she couldn’t get up. The subordinate smiled and extended his hand towards the front of Dong Ling Wan’s clothes …

Chen Huan was close to unconsciousness. Looking at this scene, he wanted to stop it but was powerless, “Two …” “Second Miss …”
