Warm Life - C236
That night, no one was able to calm down. They almost kept their eyes open until dawn.
Sun Yuanjie embraced Sun Meng, gently singing. Such a man, in order to comfort his beloved wife, had used his voice, making Sun Ye Xuan neither laugh nor cry. In the end, Sun Ye Xuan could not bear to listen any longer, so she sang a gentle love song for them, soothing everyone’s panicked emotions. When dawn was about to arrive, everyone calmed down and waited for the upcoming developments.
In fact, everyone was wounded. It was injured by the bandits when the Sun family was captured. Sun Ye Xuan let them drink the spirit spring water, and then ate the medicine that she had prepared previously. They had recovered more than half of their strength in one night, so they wouldn’t be dragged down by today. Maybe the reason why Tang Li sent people to injure them was to report her thoughts. He just wanted them to be unable to escape.
“How long are we going to wait?” Sun Yuanjie asked, “Will your people really appear today?”
“Yes. It’s just that I don’t know the exact time. ” “We should be worried about the people who didn’t come back last night,” said Meng. The bandits searched all night, wondering if they had been brought back. Even if they are lucky enough to not get caught, will they be able to find the gunpowder? ”
“Even if we find gunpowder, they may not be able to get rid of it.” It seems like if I want to escape today, it will depend on whether the heavens are willing to help me or not. ” Sun Ye Xuan said.
“Rather than waiting for the heavens to help us, we might as well fight with our lives on the line. When the effects of their medicine start to take effect, we will kill our way out and find a way to reunite with the others. ” Feng Zimo said.
A few hours later, Song Ruyi barged in. He coldly looked at the crowd, his gaze landing on Sun Ye Xuan and Feng Meng, the two noble young masters. He said to the bandits behind him, “Take him away.”
A few bandits took them away. The other bandits wanted to stop them, but another intense battle was occurring. The bandits had weapons in their hands, and with so many people huddled together in a small room, it was impossible for them to display their true strength. Just as the bandits were about to take control of the two noble young masters, Sun Ye Xuan suddenly appeared behind Song Ruyi and placed the blade against his neck.
“I don’t think you have the right to do anything to us right now. Just listen to us obediently! ” Sun Ye Xuan said.
“How did you do it?” Song Ruyi was shocked.
Sun Ye Xuan rarely showed her power. When it had fallen into their hands, only Hu Wei had seen her move. Now that Hu Wei was dead, Song Ruyi and Tang Li would definitely not be able to see through her abilities.
“Miss Sun, just kill him.” Meng Zhixiao’s underling shouted.
“Don’t worry, he’s still useful.” Sun Ye Xuan said: “With him, our next steps will be much smoother. Second Leader, lead the way! ”
Song Ruyi clenched her teeth as she stared at Sun Ye Xuan, her legs seemed to be tied up by a stone and didn’t want to move at all. Sun Ye Xuan used all her strength and stabbed the blade into his neck, causing blood to gush out.
“You!” Song Ruyi did not expect that she would really dare to make a move.
Seeing this, the other bandits didn’t know how to respond. They nervously backed off, afraid that Sun Ye Xuan would really kill Song Ruyi.
“What do you want to do? Just say it directly! ” Song Ruyi said coldly.
“I heard that you guys have a secret passage, I want to go there. You lead the way. ” Sun Ye Xuan said.
“Impossible.” Song Ruyi coldly said, “Even if you kill me, I won’t let you go. You want to ruin the escape path of us brothers, dream on. ”
“If I said that I wanted to find a secret passage to find a way to survive, would you still not want to take me there?” Sun Ye Xuan said, “Even if you don’t say it, you will still die. You should think about it carefully.”
“You really won’t destroy our secret passage?” Song Ruyi looked at her doubtfully.
“We also want to live. Why must we destroy your secret passage? Don’t we want to go ourselves? If you tell me, I’ll let you go. Not only that, I even thought of ways to keep Tang Li. Have you been wanting to be the boss for a long time? Tang Li was an eyesore, right? If you keep him, you can take your brother away. Isn’t that a win-win situation? ” Sun Ye Xuan said enticingly.
“Why should I believe you? “Woman, you’re so crafty and shameless. Who knows, you might even escape by yourself and leave us here.” Song Ruyi said, “Unless you swear, I won’t bring you there.”
“Why are you wasting words with him? Just finish him off and then kill your way out. ” Meng Zhixiao coldly said, “They don’t have the strength to fight now. Is it up to us to decide whether they live or die?”
“Ha!” How can we not have strength? “Let me tell you …” Song Ruyi hadn’t finished speaking when he noticed that all of the subordinates he had brought with him were standing on the ground. He had an unsightly expression on his face as he said, “What are you guys doing?”
“Second Leader, we feel completely powerless. Actually, he had felt weak in the morning, but now, he felt even weaker. Have we fallen into a trap? ” The bandit said uncomfortably.
“How is this possible? He was still fine just a moment ago, how could he not have strength? “Don’t play dead, if I knew …” Song Ruyi felt another sharp pain on her neck.
He stopped and looked at Sun Ye Xuan sinisterly, his eyes full of hatred. He hesitated, then said in shock, “Did you do it? Impossible! You won’t have the chance to do anything. ”
“We want to make our move. There are many opportunities, how can we possibly inform you?” Sun Ye Xuan said, “You talk too much, don’t tell me you want to stall for time?” “Humph!”
Blood trickled down the blade. Song Ruyi was in excruciating pain, and even though she felt dizzy, she did not have the strength to do so. It was futile to drag it on any longer. In any case, there was someone else blocking their way out …
With this thought in mind, Song Ruyi agreed to bring Sun Ye Xuan and the others to search for the secret passage.
Sun Yuanjie supported Sun Meng. Sun Ye Shi held Sun Meng’s other hand. The others followed Feng Zimo and Meng Zhixiao out of the room that they had been locked up in for several days.
“They …” Song Ruyi was shocked to find that the other bandits fell to the ground powerlessly. The village was littered with bandits lying on the ground. Now, he finally believed Sun Ye Xuan’s words.
Song Ruyi thought of Tang Li. Was he in the same situation now? If he were to appear in front of him now and cut him off, the position of boss would be his.
If Sun Ye Xuan knew that Song Ruyi was still thinking about the position of boss at this critical juncture, she would definitely be disdainful. Was it really so good to be the boss of a bandit? Truly useless.
Song Ruyi did not dare to play any tricks. Sun Ye Xuan had really made her move. The knife was still resting on his neck. His neck was cold and ready to break at any moment. He was scared out of his wits. Staring fiercely at Sun Ye Xuan, he brought them to the secret path.
They saw a cave with a bush in front of it. They pushed their way through the grass and found the entrance.
At this moment, Meng Zhisu’s men caught up. They held the gunpowder in their hands and said happily, “We’ve found it. “Total…”
“Wait!” Sun Ye Xuan said to Song Ruyi whose face was ashen: “Are you going to explain yourself, or are we going to torture you to death? How much gunpowder is there in total? ”
Song Ruyi’s face darkened, hesitating before hesitating.
Sun Ye Xuan stabbed again.
Song Ruyi was in excruciating pain as she said with a pained expression, “A total of twenty.”
“That’s not right!” The subordinate said, “We’ve found twenty-two. He’s lying. ”
“Still not honest. Maybe I should think of a way to make you behave? ” Sun Ye Xuan said.
“A total of twenty-five.” Song Ruyi hurriedly said.
“There are three more places to look.” Sun Yanxuan said, “The others will tie up those bandits who have no way of resisting. to find out if there’s a fish that’s out of the net. ”
“Little girl, do we have control of the village now? Even if they didn’t come, we would have won. ” Sun Yuanjie said.
“Father, it’s not that simple. I have observed the situation of this mountain stronghold. Do you still remember the number of people we saw when we first entered the village? “You can take another look at the number of people who have survived.” “Sun Ye Xuan said, “Tang Li is not a simple person. From the very beginning, she had sent a small group of people to guard the mountain, waiting for the Song Family’s people to come over and throw themselves into their trap. Do you really think we’re that successful? ”
“Is that really the case?” Sun Meng was shocked. “I thought you already had control of the situation. Now, even if we go down the mountain ourselves, we will have no problem. ”
“It’s not that simple. Tang Li should still have another team. Second Leader, why don’t you explain it? I think your words are more convincing. ” Sun Ye Xuan patted Song Ruyi’s neck and said.
“Yes.” The Great Master had sent a group of men down the mountain to gather the food. Especially the cotton-padded jackets needed for winter, we do not have them in the village yet. ” Song Ruyi coldly snorted, “So, I will be able to return today.”
“If we don’t know about this, then we’ll just go down the mountain and meet them head on. Isn’t that like a lamb entering a tiger’s den?” Sun Meng said with a pale face.
“Mom, don’t worry. There shouldn’t be many of them. Even if we really meet up with them, it might not necessarily be us losing. Rest assured, leave the rest to us. ” Sun Ye Xuan said.
Sun Meng nodded.
“Let’s tie up the currently controlled bandits first. The remaining bandits won’t be able to overturn this wave. As for the secret passage, I suddenly felt that there was no need to blow it up. These bandits had robbed so many people, there might be treasures inside. We’ll stay here until the others come up and search this place. ” Meng Zhixiao said.
Sun Ye Xuan did not object. The first one to be tied up was Song Ruyi. As for the bandits that Song Ruyi brought with her, they had long since lost their ability to resist.
When they tied up all the bandits to keep watch, Sun Ye Xuan found out one thing, and that was that Tang Li had disappeared.
The biggest bandit was gone. This was not good. They looked around but still could not find him. Eventually they found his clothes in the secret passage.
“Tang Li knows medicine, and she always carries all kinds of pills with her. He definitely has an antidote pill.” Just wait for your bad luck! The number of people Tang Li can transfer is definitely not what you can imagine. He will definitely come back to save us. ” Song Ruyi said proudly.
“What do you have to be proud of? Even if Tang Li wanted to save them, she would do so to save them. If he knew that you betrayed him, he would have wanted to kill you, but he still wanted to save you! Stop dreaming! ” Sun Ye Xuan said in disdain, “Damn it!” If he had known earlier, he would have blown up that secret passage. Initially, they thought that they no longer had the ability to resist him. However, they didn’t expect that the most difficult fellow to deal with would know medical skills. Now, they just had to wait for him to come back for revenge! “What Song Ruyi said was right. After suffering such a huge loss, it’s impossible for him to not retaliate, and even more so, not give up on this mountain stronghold …”
