Before the house is confiscated, the enemy's warehouse is emptied and exiled
Chapter 125: Is there an ambush in the forest?
The fact was, she heard the conversation of those bandits about a mile away.
I only heard one of them say, "Boss, can we really hide here without being discovered?"
Then another rough voice responded:
"What's there to be afraid of? We've robbed countless times in this area. This road is probably more familiar to us than the road to your house. What's so scary about it?"
The man from before timidly interrupted:
"Boss, you can't say that, we brothers are really scared!
The prince is accompanied by many highly skilled guards. If we are not fully prepared, not only will our brothers be injured, but we may not even be able to obtain the property we want to rob."
Upon hearing this, the man who was previously called the boss could not help but angrily scold:
"Look at you, you're such a coward! The prince's guards only have a few dozen people, while we have a full five hundred of them! Why should we be afraid of him?
As soon as they get close, as soon as you hear my whistle, everyone rushes out without hesitation. Grab as much as you can, but remember not to harm that weakling prince!
We are just looking for money, there is no need to cause ourselves unnecessary trouble!"
However, at this moment, a voice suddenly emerged from the crowd:
"Brother, since it's a rare opportunity to come here, why take such a big risk to rob the prince's belongings?
Wouldn't it be a shame if we didn't kidnap a few pretty girls from the group of convicts and take them back to serve as wives of the bandit leader?
I'd also like to know what it's like to be a noble lady from the capital. I imagine it's probably even more exciting than being the top courtesan in Yingchun Courtyard..."
"That's all you think about all the time! You can rob women, but they're not for you to eat. Good stuff can be sold at a very high price.
You guys, hurry up and grab some good stuff, then send them to Mother Zhang as soon as possible to see if you can sell them for a good price.
Come to think of it, we haven't found anything particularly good in a while! !"
The man with a rough voice responded.
The noisy sounds of people whispering to each other were still heard, but Shen Qingge had already put away her extraordinary hearing power.
It was because the conversations of those people were so obscene that her stomach churned and she felt extremely nauseous.
Then, she slowly raised her head, staring at Li Tian in front of her with a sharp gaze, to see how he would react.
As expected, after hearing her words, Li Tian's face became even stiffer than before, and he trotted towards the front of the team in a panic.
Seeing this, Shen Qingge followed.
When the two of them came to the front of the team, Li Tian became visibly uneasy.
He took a deep breath and said timidly:
"Um... Your Highness, there seems to be an ambush ahead.
I think we should stop the whole team for a while and discuss how to deal with this situation."
After saying that, he glanced at Shen Qingge beside him. He was still unsure, but didn't want to miss this opportunity to show off.
What if everything Shen Qingge said was correct? Then he would have made a great contribution and saved the entire team from disaster.
However, in fact, even if he didn't report it, Xiao Heng already had this idea in his mind.
Although he did not have as sharp hearing as Shen Qingge, he could clearly sense with his intuition that the dangerous aura lurking in the mountains and forests was gradually approaching them.
So, Xiao Heng made a prompt decision and issued an order, requiring the entire team to stop moving forward immediately and wait on the spot.
Then, he ordered Li Tian to leave and return to his original place to guard the exile team. At the same time, he kept Shen Qingge by his side.
The reason given was quite reasonable - he had already seen that the idea of stopping the team came from Shen Qingge, so he kept her behind so that he could understand the specific situation in detail.
Li Tian looked at Shen Qingge with a hint of worry, and finally turned and left.
After Li Tian walked away, Xiao Heng and several other people quickly gathered together.
He asked first: "Miss Shen, can you hear the danger in the distance?"
Shen Qingge nodded and said:
"Yes, Your Highness. Judging from the content of their conversation, it should be a large group of bandits, no less than 500 people.
I got the information from somewhere, but I know that your enfeoffment team will pass through here.
Their purpose is very clear: they only seek wealth and try to avoid harming others. They also don't want to get into trouble."
"Heh... They're so arrogant that they even dare to stop the prince's carriage.
Do you really think these secret guards in our palace are vegetarians? How arrogant! "
Cang Feng on the side said angrily.
Facing the furious Cang Feng, Shen Qingge remained calm and said in a calm tone:
"Perhaps they are so courageous because they rely on their numbers.
These bandits are desperate criminals who will not hesitate to act unless there is profit, so they don't care if you are a royal relative or not!"
After saying that, she raised her eyes and looked into the mountains and forests thoughtfully.
Yun Yi quickly spread out the map, looked at it again and again, then frowned and asked:
"Master, what should we do now?
If we confront these bandits head-on, we may not have a complete chance of winning and may even lose some of our men.
But retreating and seeking another way out is not an option!
There is only one way to go south. Otherwise, you have to go around the entire mountain range.
This will not only waste a lot of time, but the winding mountain road is also full of dangers!"
"That's not necessary!"
Shen Qingge shook her head slightly and spoke decisively. Her beautiful face revealed a hint of confidence and composure.
Xiao Heng looked at Shen Qingge with sharp eyes, and suddenly he understood.
With her unfathomable strength, it would not be difficult for her to get rid of these bandits without making any noise.
So, what exactly is she trying to do?
Shen Qingge glanced back at Xiao Heng, smiled slightly, and said:
"The one who knows me best is none other than the prince! I just heard that these bandits are planning to kidnap the women from the convict group and sell them to someone named Mama Zhang!
In my opinion, this person is most likely a key figure in the hidden village. Why don't we go deep behind enemy lines and follow the clues? In this way, the hidden village will be exposed soon, right?
"Well, how do you want me to cooperate with you?"
