The Concubine's Daughter Travels Through Time and Space and Takes the Road of Confrontation

After walking for almost an hour, the man stopped and said with a gleam in his eyes, "Good man, go around this section of the mountain wall, and the gate of the village is in front."

Lu Yun looked at him and said, "I buried the antidote somewhere at the foot of the mountain. No one can find it except me."

The man's face was grim, and he was furious. "Don't go too far. As long as I shout, the brothers will be here in an instant."

Lu Yun stood with his arms crossed, not afraid at all. "Then you try to shout, and see which is faster, my sword or your brother's legs!"

The man's defense was broken in a second. He collapsed and hugged his head, and then touched the wound with a distorted face. "I, I will lead the way. Is it not okay for me to lead the way?"

Lu Yun hid the horse behind a tree, leaving only a bag and a sword on his body.

After the two men walked around the mountain wall, they saw a platform protruding outwards. There was a circle of fences along the platform. Inside, there were about a dozen bandits sitting, joking and having fun loudly.

There should be someone else in the cave behind the platform, so Lu Yun was alert.

Unexpectedly, the man in front of him suddenly became furious and rushed forward like he didn't care about his life. "Brothers, help!" Everyone rushed over and saw the boy behind the man. They all looked at him with disdain, "Qian Da, he's just a kid, and you've done this to him?"

Qian Da trembled as he told everyone about his tragic experience. Only then did everyone else's expressions become more serious. "What are you afraid of? There are more than a dozen of us brothers here. Can't we handle a kid?"

I saw the child in front of me slowly take out a yellow ball from the bag behind him and suddenly throw it to me.

With a "bang", the ball exploded above his head, sending down clouds of smoke and dust, followed by another one.

There was a loud bang, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the bandit fell to the ground. After the smoke cleared, a deep pit appeared in his place.

Mo Lai and Jiang San, who were checking the thieves' injuries at the foot of the mountain, were also startled by the noise. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw a cloud of gray smoke slowly rising into the air, startling countless birds.

"Amitabha, what is this?" Jiang San was still in shock and held onto Mo Lao's sleeve tightly.

Old Mo's face was solemn. Although he had some guesses in his mind, he felt that it was unlikely. How could fire bombs that were only available in the military appear in the deep mountains and forests? It was too weird.

"Jiang San." Old Mo said solemnly, grabbing his wrist and saying, "Come with me and take a look."

Jiang San's heart was pounding, and he politely refused, "Mr. Mo, whether it's the person lying on the ground or the noise just now, it's all very strange. I'm scared..."

Mo Lao's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he scolded in a low voice, "What are you afraid of, you coward? I'm not afraid either. Just follow me. Something must have happened to these bandits."

After determining the direction, the two men wandered through the mountains and forests for a while and found a mountain road. When they arrived breathlessly, they saw a scene that they would never forget in their lives.

A deep pit, as wide as a person, appeared on the flat ground. Near the pit lay seven or eight mutilated corpses. The few still alive were behaving madly, foaming at the mouth, and doing all sorts of things. The corpses stretched from the village gate to the cave entrance, all killed by a single sword.

The air was thick with the stench of blood and excrement, and the two men retched uncontrollably. Painful wails like ghosts echoed faintly from the cave. Jiang San could no longer bear it and dragged Mo Lao away.

Lu Yun's face was covered with a scarf. As she pushed on her toes, the bearded man beneath her screamed in agony. "Ah! Who are you?!"

"Second in command, it doesn't matter who I am. First, who instructed you to rob A Da? Second, where did the things go? Third, who is the boss?" Lu Yun loosened his feet and walked slowly to the side to look through the things in the house.

The man behind him slowly stood up straight, his eyes fierce. "Okay, I'll tell you." He slowly pulled out the dagger hidden in his boot, his expression ferocious. "Go to hell!"

Lu Yun gave a flying kick from the side, and the second in command felt a sharp pain in his chest. He first hit the stone wall heavily, and then fell straight to the ground, unconscious.

"Hmm?" Lu Yun squatted down and sniffed his breath. "As long as he's still alive, I'm glad."

After tying the man up with ropes, Lu Yun turned the second in command's house upside down.

It was truly filthy. The pillows were black, the quilt was black, and the clothes were covered in age-old dirt. Based on the traces of dust on the furniture, Lu Yun could almost describe the person's daily activities.

This was the Nth time that Lu Yun had found smelly socks in the wrong place. She was so annoyed that she was considering blowing the place up.

There was nothing in any of the boxes, on the bed, or under the bed, so where could it be? Seeing a few wine jars beside the bed, Lu Yun picked up a stick and hit them. With a few clangs, several pieces of broken silver flew out of the jars along with the debris.

Lu Yun's eyes were sharp. Should he believe that I was Qin Shi Huang or that he was a bandit leader with such a small amount of money?

After moving the wardrobe, a hole extending downwards was revealed. After a few steps, he arrived at a relatively open space. It turned out to be a natural cave under the cliff.

The cave was not big, with four or five old boxes piled up randomly inside. All of the boxes were filled with gold and silver, and some of the boxes had large black stains on the outside.

Judging from the dust on them, these boxes have not been touched for some time.

Just then, Lu Yun noticed the small box on top of the box. Compared with the others, this one was very clean.

Opening the lid, bundles of yellow "dry grass" were neatly stacked inside. What was this? Lu Yun was shocked. "Bai Ban Jiao!!!"

There was a small box at the bottom of the box. The contents inside made Lu Yun shudder. There were four boxes of incense in three scents: sandalwood, agarwood, and two boxes of ambergris.

Apart from this, there is no information that can reveal the identity of the owner.

It seems that this second-in-command has many secrets that he is not aware of. Speaking of Baibanjiao, Lu Yun thinks of someone, who also happens to be named Li.

The second in command was awakened by the water. When he was dizzy and dazed, he saw a yellow object swaying in front of his eyes. When he regained consciousness, he took a breath of cold air.

"who are you?"

Lu Yun squatted in front of him and said, "Second Master, what is your relationship with the Li family of Cheng'en Marquis in the capital? The first master is Li Guanshi, right?"

The second in command looked flustered and blurted out in shock, "You, how did you know?"

Lu Yun's eyes were sharp. "Why did the Li family send people to intercept the official documents sent by the Nanyue Palace to Kyoto?"

The second in command looked pale and said nothing.

Lu Yun took out her sword and pointed it at his face. "I'm giving you a choice. Tell me everything you know, and I'll let you die a quick death. Otherwise, I'll use this sword to cut you into 108 pieces."

Lu Yun tilted her head and said, "Let's start with your face. With all these little tricks, I guarantee you'll be conscious from beginning to end."

"I'll count to three!" Lu Yun shouted coldly, "One, two—" The long sword gradually approached his brow. "Three!"

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you!" The second in command was so scared that he pissed himself. A fishy smell reached his nose, and Lu Yun took a step back in disgust.
