All I heard was the bandit leader's loud and arrogant laughter:

"Hahaha, the Fifth Prince, right?

We are here as bandits today just for money, but we have no intention of harming your life or the life of the beautiful girl beside you.

As long as you two obediently hand over all the gold, silver and treasures, we, your brothers, promise to escort you out of the mountain respectfully and immediately, and we will never break our promise! What do you think? "

A shifty little man standing nearby echoed:

"Hehe... Boss, you're absolutely right! If you want to pass through here, you'll have to leave money for passage!"

At this moment, Shen Qingge, who had been silent all this time, suddenly started laughing. Her laughter was clear and pleasant, yet it also carried a hint of sarcasm:

"Haha... Since you're all so straightforward, why not just tell us what kind of treasures you want?"

When the bandits heard this, their eyes lit up and they shouted, "Of course it's all the treasures you brought with you this time! We want as much as you can!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingge calmly held his chin with his hand, thought for a moment, and then said slowly:

"Haha...it seems like you all have quite a big appetite. I just don't know if you're lucky enough to get this money, but whether you'll be able to spend it!"

When the bandits heard this, their faces froze. It turned out that this little girl was playing tricks on them!

Then, a burly man with a full beard suddenly jumped out, waving a shining big knife in his hand, staring at Shen Qingge menacingly, and cursing:

"Oh, you're quite arrogant, little girl! Don't think that just because you took advantage of our unpreparedness and used a few tricks to sneak attack our brothers, you can act lawless and look down on everyone!

Today, I must teach you a lesson, so that you will know that there are always people better than you and there are always higher things beyond your reach! "

After saying that, he called out to several other bandits, raised their swords, and rushed forward, attacking Shen Qingge and the others.

In a moment, her figure was like a ghost, and she disappeared from the sight of many bandits in the blink of an eye.

The bandits' eyes widened in disbelief, and they began to rub their eyes vigorously, wondering if they were seeing things.

However, in the next moment, a cool wind blew past their ears, and vaguely, it seemed that a blurry shadow flashed past them, scaring them so much that the hairs on their bodies stood up and they froze in place.

Immediately afterwards, the bandits who were running towards them had no time to react at all. They only heard creepy "puff puff" sounds, and heads rolled to the ground one after another like ripe watermelons.

Because Shen Qingge's attack speed was so fast, the heads of these bandits had fallen off, but their bodies were still standing upright, and the big knives in their hands were still waving wildly.

What's more, some bandits were able to take several steps forward after their heads hit the ground, and finally fell straight to the ground with a bang.

Had the remaining bandits ever witnessed such a horrific scene?

They were stunned for a long time, and when they came to their senses, they were terrified and fled in all directions without hesitation, shouting loudly:

"Ghost! The female ghost is here to take my life..."

But how could Shen Qingge let them go so easily?

She calmly took out the whistle Xiao Heng had given her from her bosom, gently placed it to her lips and blew. In an instant, the sharp whistle resounded through the sky.

Almost at the same time, countless sharp arrows shot down like raindrops, and the sound of "puff puff puff" was endless. These ferocious bandits were instantly shot into strings of human candied haws by the rain of arrows.

Then, there was a fierce sound of swords clashing.

Before long, the bandits' corpses were lying densely all over the ground in the mountains and forests.

Not only that, even the bodies of the bandits named Gazi and Erdan who had gone to explore the way before were thrown to the ground mercilessly by the secret guards.

This scene scared the bandit leader silly.

Thinking back to the time when a group of bandits came in full force and occupied a small hill, who would have expected that in the blink of an eye, all his brothers around him would have died, leaving him alone, becoming a true commander without troops.

His legs softened and he fell to his knees with a plop. He then kowtowed to Xiao Heng, muttering to himself:

"Your Majesty, please spare my life! It was because of my greed and greed that I committed such a heinous crime!

I know that Your Highness is kind-hearted and compassionate, and I will certainly forgive you for this time!"

As he spoke, he kept knocking his head, and his forehead made a "bang bang" sound when it hit the ground.

He even started sobbing and sobbing, looking as miserable as could be. Normally, he looked like a big, strong man, but now he was crying like a young wife who had suffered a great injustice.

However, Xiao Heng just looked at him coldly, unmoved, and slowly said:

“It’s useless for you to beg for mercy from this king. The key lies in whether you can satisfy the girl beside you.

If she is willing to spare you, you might still have a chance of survival."

After saying that, Xiao Heng raised his eyes, cast his gaze at Shen Qingge, and motioned her to come forward.

Seeing this, Shen Qingge smiled scornfully.

She stepped forward lightly, bent down, picked up an extremely sharp knife from the ground, and dragged it along.

When the blade rubbed against the ground, it made a creepy "sizzling" sound, as if it was the howling of evil spirits from the depths of hell, which made people's backs chill.

Then she said calmly, "Guess why I didn't kill you?"

The word "kill" obviously frightened the bandit leader. He raised his head tremblingly, his eyes avoiding the person in front of him, and asked in a trembling voice with a hint of cowardice:

"Maybe... maybe you think I'm still useful to you, girl!

As long as it is what you need, no matter what it is, I will go through fire and water and do it with my whole heart, just to serve you well!

Please have mercy on me, young lady, and spare my life. I really don’t want to die!”

The bandit leader's words were extremely straightforward, without any intention of concealing anything. This made Shen Qingge burst out laughing.

After the laughter subsided, Shen Qingge narrowed his eyes, staring at the frightened bandit leader in front of him, and asked again:

"Well, since you are so sensible, please answer this question truthfully.

Where did you get the news that the prince's vassalage team would pass through here? If you tell me a lie, don't blame me for being merciless!
