Your Human Emperor Banner is already emitting evil spirits, and you're still pretending to be a

"Mr. Xu, I see you're not having a good time staying at the Feng family. Why don't you just come up the mountain with me? No one on Red Maple Mountain would dare to treat you like this."

The two of them boarded a cruise ship on the lake together, which was obviously prepared by Honglian in advance.

"I appreciate your kindness, but I have no plans in this regard."

No matter how much he disliked the life in the Feng family, it was still better than being a bandit. Once he went up the mountain, he would have to sleep in the open air and live in fear.

Although the bandits on Hongfeng Mountain and Qixia Mountain appear to be free and unrestrained on the surface, they actually live on the edge of a knife every day.

We always have to worry about whether the imperial court will come to encircle and suppress us.

Xu Feng was a juren with a respectable status. He even refused the invitation from Tianxianglou. How could he choose this path?

"Do you look down on us bandits?"

Honglian was a little dissatisfied and asked tentatively.

"That's not the case. It's just that I personally don't like this kind of life. In comparison, it's better to be more stable."

Looking at his profile, Honglian didn't know what she was thinking. After going down the mountain, she asked about the ghost-faced man's deeds at the foot of the mountain.

Naturally, I know that Xu Feng is not a simple person, but seeing that he still can't bear to give up the life of the Feng family.

"The court is now incompetent and unjust, and the martial arts world is also in turmoil. If Master Xu has other plans, he must make preparations early."

"No matter what, the door of Red Maple Mountain is always open to you. You are always welcome to come whenever you want."

Xu Feng had long been aware of the court's incompetence.

The Liushenmen, a law enforcement agency, is colluding with a child trafficking gang. It seems that the imperial court has been corrupted by various termites to an extremely serious extent.

However, individuals are ultimately too insignificant in the face of the world's general trend. Even if Xu Feng wants to do something, he must have the ability to do so.

The two men were sitting on the boat chatting, completely unaware that their boat was approaching the center of the lake. Not far behind them, several small boats were slowly approaching their boat.

By the time the two men realized it, the other party had already surrounded the ship.

"That woman is on the boat. Brothers, you must capture her today. Whoever gets aboard first will be rewarded handsomely by the leader."

This group of people came for Honglian. They started shouting as soon as they approached, which naturally alarmed the two people in the cabin. Honglian was frightened and took the opportunity to hide in Xu Feng's arms.

Xu Feng was suddenly in a panic and didn't know where to put his hands.

"Master Xu and his men are coming for me. There's a group of bandits at the foot of the mountain who covet my beauty. I thought my whereabouts were secretive enough this time, but they still noticed, and now Master Xu is in trouble."

"It's okay. I'm here so I won't let them take you away. Don't worry."

Xu Feng pulled Honglian behind him just like he did on the mountain, completely unaware of the cunning that flashed across Honglian's lips.

It was obvious that she arranged this group of people to act out the show.

Otherwise, with her identity and strength, the bandits down the mountain would be tired of living and dare to target her.

In order not to arouse suspicion, she specially selected a few trusted subordinates that Xu Feng had never seen before going down the mountain.

"Oh!"

Although he didn't want to reveal his identity, but things had come to this point and Xu Feng couldn't care less.

The bandit who boarded the boat first was kicked off by him.

"Master Xu, there is a sword on the boat that I usually use for self-defense. Please take it."

Seeing that Xu Feng was unarmed, Honglian kindly handed him a sword.

This scene left her subordinates speechless. They didn't understand what their boss was doing. Seeing that the people on the boat were somewhat passive in their attack, Honglian could only wink at them.

Everyone jumped onto the boat at once.

Xu Feng hurriedly protected Honglian and retreated. There was so little space on the passenger ship that they had no room to retreat, and their bodies were pressed tightly together.

The bandits were at a loss as to whether to advance or retreat, and looked at each other in bewilderment. Honglian was quite annoyed and could only shout loudly.

"Let's wait and see what's going on. Don't force me. I'd rather die than leave with you."

After her reminder, everyone realized that they came here to act with their boss.

They all rushed forward with their heads held high. During the fight, they had to be careful not to hurt Honglian. The key point was that Honglian had already instructed them not to hurt even Xu Feng.

They had been bandits for so many years, but had never fought such a frustrating battle. Fortunately, Xu Feng realized that this group of people had no intention of killing, so he never drew his sword, but just used the scabbard to knock them off the boat.

Before long, they were the only two left standing on the boat.

The bandits who fell into the lake had already left along the waterway. Looking at the ripples on the water, Xu Feng was a little confused.

"It seems these bandits aren't here to arrest you. I don't sense any murderous intent from them. I'm afraid they have ulterior motives for coming here."

Honglian also pretended to understand and agreed.

"It seems so. Do you think this place is hiding some secret? They wanted to drive us away from the lake. I said my whereabouts were so secretive, how could they notice? It seems they have been waiting here for a long time."

Under Honglian's guidance, Xu Feng gradually approached the truth.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

He didn't want to get involved in this matter and just wanted to leave as soon as possible, but Honglian was eager to find out the truth.

Persuasion was fruitless, so Xu Feng could only join her in making trouble.

"Look, are there any signs that the reeds on the shore have been opened? Could the secret be hidden there? Let's go and take a look!"

Honglian pointed to the shore excitedly, but Xu Feng reached out to stop her and didn't act impulsively.

"Wait a moment. I'll go see if there are any bandits ambushing over there. You wait for me on the boat."

"Be careful."

Xu Feng used his lightness skills, touched the water with his toes, and glided across the lake like a dragonfly. After a few jumps, he reached the shore.

After lifting the reeds nearby, I found footprints of a large group of people. In addition, there were several large boxes, and there was a smell of blood coming out of the boxes.

He opened one of the boxes, which was filled with golden gold, and the other boxes were filled with barbarian heads.

If the barbarians are involved, the matter will probably not be small.

The Dashun and the barbarians fought for years and regarded each other as mortal enemies. These heads were probably not that simple.

After thinking for a moment, he returned to the boat and told Honglian about this.

"Take me over there to have a look. Your Qinggong is pretty good, so it shouldn't be a problem to lead one person, right?"

Honglian deliberately threw the oar into the water, wanting Xu Feng to hug her. Xu Feng didn't notice, and he hugged her waist and used his lightness skills to return to the shore again.

After landing, Honglian still felt a little unsatisfied.

Only after Xu Feng coughed to remind her did she reluctantly leave Xu Feng's arms.

"It really is a barbarian's head. Master Xu is so lucky to have encountered such a good thing."

"How to say?"

Xu Feng was a little confused and didn't understand what kind of good thing this was.
