They were in charge of being beautiful, and she was in charge of taking the hits.

Prefect Hu ordered his men to treat the two of them well, and then slipped a letter to his attendant, instructing her to quickly inform Wang Hu and put on a show.

Meanwhile, the three people on the other side of the mountain stepped out of their house, watched as they were being escorted to Wang Hu's side. Han Yuxiu's eyes kept glancing towards the road, and Wu Ziyan noticed something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I found some herbs that can cause fainting and temporary hallucinations, and they're just sitting there drying."

Chu Qiu was about to knock out the people watching them, but Wu Ziyan shook her head and said, "I'll hold them off. Who of you will go get it?"

Wu Ziyan suddenly clutched her stomach: "Big sister, I... I suddenly have a stomachache, ouch! It hurts so much!"

Good heavens! Chu Qiu and Han Yuxiu looked at her as if she were real.

She slowly squatted down on the ground. Han Yuxiu, being quite clever at this moment, was no longer so afraid and joined in the act with Wu Ziyan: "It must be your intestinal ailment acting up. You get like this when you don't take your medicine, brother. I saw some herbs by the roadside when I came; they can relieve your discomfort."

Looking at their henchmen, he asked, "What's going on?"

Chu Qiu slowly retreated. He was very agile and quickly grabbed the herbs. Then he casually picked up a wild grass root and handed it back to Wu Ziyan: "Is this it, little brother? Eat it, and you'll feel better."

Wu Ziyan looked troubled. Was Chu Qiu doing this on purpose? She could only nod, chew on some grass roots, and say to the henchmen, "Sorry, big sister, I'm much better now. Let's go."

"They're just dragging their feet, even the boss is getting impatient!"

The three exchanged glances and nodded. As Han Yuxiu walked, he folded the herbs into small knots and rubbed them between his fingers.

Once inside the hall, Wang Hu noticed the difference in the three women after they had washed up. They were indeed top-tier beauties, and their aura clearly indicated they were not ordinary people. She beckoned and called out, "Beauties, beauties, come over here and have a drink with me."

As the three approached, Wu Ziyan pretended to fight with the two of them, pushing them away and saying, "Big Sister is mine, don't try to take her from me!"

She ran over and sat down next to Wang Hu, picked up a glass of wine to block her view, gave Han Yuxiu a look, he nodded, walked to the side with his back turned, put the herbs into the pot, and muttered, "They need to be steeped first."

Wu Ziyan held the wine glass and fed Wang Hu a drink. Just before it reached his lips, she deliberately withdrew her hand and said playfully, "Big sister, will you only dote on me?"

Hearing her utter such mushy words, the two men shook their heads. A woman so adept at the ways of the inner quarters.

"Yan'er! You're being naughty!" Wang Hu forcibly pulled the wine cup in front of him and drank a cup. Chu Qiu also sat down next to Wang Hu. He was unwilling at first, but there was a jewel-encrusted scimitar next to Wang Hu. He was so familiar with it. It was a foreigner's sword. How could there be one here!

His eyes were fixed on the knife, his intentions so obvious that Wang Hu noticed and asked, "What's wrong, Qiu'er? What are you looking at this knife for?" A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

Chu Qiu shook his head and imitated Wu Ziyan's acting, saying, "This gem is so bright, I'm completely absorbed in looking at it."

"You like gemstones? Come here and let me hug you. I'll give you any gemstone you want!"

"Can I have this too?" Chu Qiu asked, pointing to the curved sword.

"That won't do," Wang Hu shook his head.

Han Yuxiu saw that the herbs in the pot had steeped for a while, picked up the wine pot and poured a cup: "Hey, how can you do this? I also want to thank Big Sister for taking us in. Here, Big Sister, have a drink." He awkwardly brought the medicinal wine to Wang Hu's lips.

Fortunately, things went smoothly. After drinking the medicinal wine, Wang Hu had some doubts. How could these three be so obedient? Usually, when people saw a ruthless bandit like her, even if they pretended to be calm, they wouldn't be as composed as these three.

However, once lust takes hold, it's like a knife hanging over their heads. Wu Ziyan tried his best to protect the two of them, preventing them from having too much physical contact. They were both innocent young men, and experiencing such a scene might leave them with psychological trauma.

After drinking a few more cups, Wang Hu still didn't react much. Wu Ziyan looked at Han Yuxiu with her eyes and asked, "Did you put the wrong thing in there?"

Han Yuxiu shook his head, also puzzled. Chu Qiu had tried to grab the knife several times, but hadn't had a good opportunity.

After several more jugs of wine, Wang Hu's alcohol tolerance was truly impressive. Wu Ziyan also got a little tipsy, and finally, Wang Hu started to show some signs of alcohol.

"Hey, so many beauties! Don't run away, don't run away! Hehe, caught you! Come on, drink!"

Just then, a henchman ran in: "Boss, the prefect has sent word..." He then glanced at the people around him but didn't finish his sentence.

"What news?" Wang Hu asked vaguely.

The henchman forced himself to say, "Tell the boss that you've captured a princess from the imperial court and need you to help her put on a show."

Wang Hu was clearly bewildered. A princess? What princess? Wu Ziyan and the other two had a gleam in their eyes. Sure enough, they were in cahoots.

Wang Hu smashed a wine glass: "Is she out of her mind? Why would I kidnap a princess for no reason? Or is she trying to use this opportunity to eliminate us!"

What a clear-headed person she is! If you call her stupid, she can think of this even when she's drunk. If you don't call her stupid, she's so easily blinded by beauty and has never suspected the three of them.

Just as she thought of this, Wang Hu turned to look at the three of them, her eyes filled with confusion. She remembered many things, but her head was gradually becoming dizzy, and she couldn't even see the things in front of her clearly. She leaned on the table and said, "Get out! If that prefect comes, we'll fight to the death. I don't think she wants to keep us here!"

After the henchman withdrew, Wu Ziyan actually burst out laughing. Wang Hu asked, "Beauty, what are you laughing at?"

"Are you stupid? Didn't you ever suspect us?" She put her hands on her hips and stepped back to Chu Qiu's side.

Chu Qiu already had the curved sword in his hand, his eyes gleaming coldly. Wang Hu's face darkened: "You...you wouldn't happen to be sent by the prefect, would you!"

"That's not true."

The crowd erupted in chaos. Chu Qiu went up and knocked Wang Hu unconscious. The crowd immediately fell silent, but they all felt something was amiss; it had all gone too smoothly.

Han Yuxiu finally breathed a sigh of relief: "We finally made it through. Those bandits were terrifying."

Wu Ziyan and Chu Qiu moved closer, exchanging glances. Wu Ziyan said, "Indeed, it's too easy."

"Indeed, do you think my mountain stronghold is a place you can just come and go as you please? We are bandits, after all!" At this moment, a tall and imposing man walked in from outside. They had never seen him before, but upon closer inspection, he did bear a resemblance to the unconscious Wang Hu.

Instantly, some henchmen rushed in and surrounded Wu Ziyan and his group. Chu Qiu gripped the hilt of his sword, ready to attack at any moment. Wu Ziyan took a deep breath and then said, "I suppose you are Wang Hu."

“Smart people.” Wang Hu stroked his chin, staring at the three of them.
