Sir Song, do you want to pledge yourself to me?

"Don't do it, it's me." Just as her claws were about to touch the other person, a familiar voice sounded in the darkness.

Upon hearing this, Ji Nuan quickly stopped her attack. It turned out that Song Jinbai had quietly come up behind her. She breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little annoyed at her own negligence.

"Why are you here?" Ji Nuan asked in a low voice.

Song Jinbai explained simply: "We received news last night that someone was going to attack the Chen family."

"So you're here to save Chen Yu too?" Ji Nuan gestured towards Seventeen, "Is he your man?"

Song Jinbai chuckled, approached her and asked in a low voice, "How did you tell that?"

Ji Nuan was about to answer when Song Jinbai suddenly pulled her into a secluded corner behind the cabinet and signaled her not to make a sound.

Ji Nuan and Song Jinbai hid in the dark, quietly observing the movements outside. In this small space, the distance between the two was shortened to the extreme. Song Jinbai could even smell the faint medicinal fragrance emanating from Ji Nuan.

Looking at his beloved, who was practically pressed against his chest, Song Jinbai's heartbeat quickened, a feeling of lightness and anxiety. He seemed to have forgotten that he was in a bandit camp, surrounded by dangers. He was completely immersed in the intimacy with Ji Nuan, and for a moment, it was difficult to calm down.

Ji Nuan had her back to him, completely unaware of Song Jinbai's inner turmoil. It wasn't until Song Jinbai couldn't help but gently hold her hand that she turned around in surprise and looked at him in confusion.

When she met Song Jinbai's eager eyes, her cheeks instantly burned, as if they were roasted by fire. She pulled her hands away uncomfortably, trying to break free from this sudden restraint.

However, Song Jinbai held her hand tightly and motioned her to look outside, drawing her attention back to the current situation from the awkwardness and shyness between them.

At this time, a group of dozens of people suddenly came into the dining hall outside. The leader was a man dressed as a scholar, the third in command of Jinfengzhai.

He walked towards the head table with steady steps, his eyes sweeping across the hall sharply, his whole temperament was very different from that of a scholar.

As the Third In Command walked along, he noticed that the tables were filled with wine, and many people were slumped over them, clearly passed out from intoxication. Even the First In Command and the One-Eyed Second In Command at the first table appeared drunk, reclining in their chairs, unconscious.

He looked at the second in command, his brows furrowed, and an ominous premonition immediately arose in his heart.

The second brother had just injured his eye and was in excruciating pain. How could he get drunk knowing he was injured? This was obviously illogical.

He quickly picked up the bowl in front of the second in command and smelled it carefully.

Not wine.

He immediately realized something was wrong and handed the bowl to the middle-aged man behind him.

This middle-aged man is the only doctor in Jinfeng Village and has some real skills.

The doctor took the bowl and smelled it, his face changed drastically, "Third Master, it's a knockout drug!"

The third in command's face darkened, "Oh no! Wake them all up!" Jinfeng Village might have been ambushed, and action must be taken immediately, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

The middle-aged doctor quickly gave each of the two heads a pill and gave them a few injections. Soon, the two heads slowly woke up and looked around in confusion.

Seeing this, Ji Nuan asked Song Jinbai softly, "How many people did you bring?"

Song Jinbai replied in a low voice: "More than twenty people, they are scattered throughout the Golden Wind Village, responsible for dealing with the patrolling bandits."

Ji Nuan immediately understood the current situation. They were the only three of them here, and the bandits from Jinfeng Village were about to be awakened. Once they regained consciousness, she, Song Jinbai, and Shiqi would face immense pressure.

"If we wait until everyone wakes up, the pressure on us will be too great." Ji Nuan said anxiously, "We should act now. We can't wait any longer."

Song Jinbai nodded in agreement. He held Ji Nuan's hand tightly, and the two of them emerged from the shadows and decisively attacked the head table.

The second in command had just woken up, his head was confused and he didn't know what had happened. Suddenly he saw the direction where Ji Nuan was attacking. He immediately widened his remaining eye and shouted, "Be careful!" At the same time, he pushed away the third in command who was blocking him, quickly pulled out the axe at his waist, and blocked Ji Nuan's Tang sword that was about to chop at the third in command with lightning speed.

The sound of metal clashing echoed throughout the dining hall. The second-in-command reacted extremely quickly. Although he had just woken up, his fighting instincts immediately got him into action. He swung his axe, trying to force Ji Nuan back.

Song Jinbai also fought with the bandits brought by the third in command. He was agile and his moves were fierce. For a while, he was in a close fight with those bandits.

The other bandits who were eating and bragging were also shocked by the sudden change here. Then they reacted and picked up their weapons and surrounded Song Jinbai and Ji Nuan.

The dining hall was suddenly in chaos, with shouting, the sound of weapons clashing, and the sound of tables and chairs overturning intertwined into a noisy battlefield.

Seventeen was shocked to see his master and a girl fighting against nearly a hundred people. The situation was critical. He immediately ignored his identity and surrounded them with his sword, determined to lend a hand.

In the eyes of everyone's surprise, Seventeen went straight to the face of the big boss. The big boss was not paying attention and was hit in the left shoulder by Seventeen. The blood immediately stained his clothes red.

"It's you, you stinky beggar!" The boss roared angrily, grabbing the stool beside him and trying to block Seventeen's attack.

Seventeen sneered, "So what if it's me?" But he didn't stop attacking. After a few moves, although the boss was not killed, he was covered with wounds and had no fighting ability at all.

Although there are many bandits in Jinfeng Village, most of them have no martial arts skills, and the one with the best martial arts skills is the second in command.

He was also having a headache facing Ji Nuan's fast fighting style. Fortunately, the bandits around him helped to resist, otherwise he would have found it difficult to hold on.

Even so, nearly a hundred people from Jinfeng Village were quickly defeated by these three people.

The bandits fell one after another, and the dining hall was in a mess.

Ji Nuan and Song Jinbai looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sir, these are all the correspondence between the Xu family and Jinfeng Village." Song Huai respectfully presented the collected evidence to Song Jinbai. These letters were the key to their operation, proving the collusion between the Xu family and Jinfeng Village.

Song Jinbai took it, but did not check it immediately. Instead, he handed it to Ji Nuan with a meaningful look and said softly, "Nuan'er, please keep it for me first."

Ji Nuan understood that these letters must be very important, so she took them and pretended to put them in her sleeves, but actually put the letters into the space.

Song Jinbai turned to ask Song Huai, "Where is County Magistrate Hu?"

Song Huai replied, "County Magistrate Hu is already outside the stronghold, waiting for our signal."

"Let them in." Song Jinbai quickly made arrangements. "Take two people with you to assist Magistrate Hu and thoroughly interrogate everyone, especially the man dressed as a scholar. I suspect he's more than just the third in command of Jinfeng Village. He might be involved in other matters. Okay, go make the arrangements."

"Yes, sir!" Song Huai accepted the order and turned to leave.
