Chapter 4: Make me the scapegoat!
The red lights were hung high in the village, which was full of joy, but no one was seen pushing cups to the lamps.

Everything came as promised, the bride came to the wedding hall to celebrate the wedding, and the third prince risked his life to rescue her.

Xie Si rushed forward and rushed to the lobby. With a sword in his hand, he picked up the detained Su Jingran and protected her behind him righteously.

"Su Jingran, don't be afraid that I'm coming!"

"The third...the third prince?"

When Su Jingran heard this familiar voice, she recognized the third prince immediately even though she didn't see him. After all, this was the dog licker who had been following Su Jingran for three years!
"Hahaha - Third Prince! We have been waiting for you for a long time!"

Everyone laughed, and the man who had just pressed Su Ningjing to worship suddenly pulled out the two swords from his waist. With a "shoo", everyone in the hall showed their swords.

Where is the worship hall?

It is clear that I am inviting you to enter the urn!

The third prince, Xie Si, looked behind him again, and there was no one else there. After going up the mountain, all his men were defeated one by one, and he was the only one who successfully broke into the mountain stronghold!
The third prince was still congratulating himself on his good skills, and a hero just happened to save the beauty!
But who knows, all this is the bandit's plan!

"Hmph! Just you guys, you still want to take me down?"

However, when facing these bandits, Xie Si was not afraid at all. The imperial court sent three thousand troops. Even if they were blocked for a while, they would rush in sooner or later!
What's more, here are just a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people who have no strength to restrain themselves. The main force of the bandits has long been played by the people of the court, and they are sneaking away from the mountain!
"Third Prince!"

Su Jingran tightly grasped the corner of Xie Si's clothes. It would be impossible for Su Jingran not to be afraid of this battle.

Just now on the official road, Su Jingran was secretly enjoying herself when she saw the unlucky Lu Manman being robbed and pushed out of the carriage.

But within a short time, the bandits caught up with her and kidnapped her!
He also threatened to bring happiness to the boss! ! !

Catch her alive and worship the cock!

Fortunately, fortunately, Xie Si showed up, otherwise she, a weak woman, would have to die in this hellish place.

"Su Jingran, don't be afraid! Our people will be here soon!"

With that said, the third prince protected Su Jingran while fighting, trying to lead Su Jingran out of the lobby and out of the stronghold.

After all, the third prince is a member of the royal family, and his skills are not bad. Lu Manman watched from a distance, feeling worried in his heart. If the third prince didn't come back, the third prince would really run away with his people!
Her 30% ransom!

He's about to fly before his eyes!

Being the daughter of a Taifu made Lu Manman very insecure. Being fostered in a place like Ciyun Nunnery showed that she was not loved by her father or mother.

So it's better to cheat a little more money in this cottage, so that it can be done more conveniently in the future.

These three princes must stay!

Otherwise, not to mention that the duck in hand will fly away, even her head, Lu Manman, should fly away!
Who told her to bluff people and swear that she could capture the third prince alive just to avoid being happy?
Lu Manman carefully avoided the fierce fighting crowd and tiptoed to his seat in the lobby.

He grabbed the ghost mask hanging on the wall, took the wine jar on the table, and hit the unprepared Xie Si on the head with a bang.

Xie Si, who was trying hard to rush out, didn't notice Lu Manman behind him. His head hurt, and he turned his head in disbelief to see a ghost mask looking at him sinisterly.

"Ghost - ghost -"

When Su Ningran saw Xie Si being hit, she was dumbfounded. When she turned her head, a terrifying ghost mask came towards her, and she fainted on the spot.

"Useless things!"

Lu Manman frowned. He originally wanted to scare Su Jingran more, but she fainted before she even started.

The two of them suddenly fell down together, and no one could react for a moment. It was Lu Manman who made a sound, and everyone came back to their senses.

"Crazy...crazy woman..."

This crazy woman who was captured called the second master "Daddy" when she saw him. I didn't expect that she actually put on the ghost mask of the first master of Huya Village and took down the third prince in one go.

"My name is……"

Lu Manman decided to pretend to be crazy and stupid to the end. He smiled lightly and suddenly remembered that he didn't even know what the second boss was called! "What's my father's last name?"

"Ma! Ma Qi!!!"

Lu Manman said a meaningful "Oh——", slowly took off the ghost mask, raised the corners of his mouth, and showed a different kind of smile in his eyes.

"My, my name is Ma Xiaofeng!"

"Okay! What a great Ma Xiaofeng!"

At this time, as soon as Yan Dongze, the belated third leader, came back from the fight, he saw Lu Manman stepping on the third prince and saying his name in an imposing manner.

This momentum is very much like that of bandits!
But, "Ma Xiaofeng"? Yan Dongze would believe her!
"Okay! Girl, you did it beautifully!"

The second master, Ma Qi, came back happily carrying the body of the first master.

The head of the family was pierced by a hail of arrows and died on the spot. His body was hung high on the city wall by the people of the court as a demonstration. If not for this, Dongze would not have thought of arresting the bride to celebrate the wedding.

The person arrested was the daughter of a court official, and the person he wanted to worship was the head of the high wall. Yan Dongze did not believe that the court would not take any action!
"Dad! You're back!"

Lu Manman could see the gloom in the Third Master's eyes, and deliberately pretended not to see it, and ran to Ma Qi's side, waving to several people to help take over the First Master's body.

"Did you take it?"

Yan Dongze looked indifferent, seeing Lu Manman's back getting cold, Lu Manman quickly smiled awkwardly.

"Sneak attack! Just a sneak attack!"

If Xie Si's attention hadn't been focused on the front, she, Lu Manman, wouldn't have been able to succeed in the sneak attack!
"Take them all down to me and remove all these things in the lobby. We will bury the boss tonight!"

"Yes!"

The boss finally came back, and his cold body gradually rotted away, emitting an unpleasant smell.

But even so, these bandits didn't show any sign of resentment or resistance. Instead, each one of them had a heavy look on his face and placed the leader in awe in the tomb that had been prepared long ago.

"He is a respectable person. Without him, there would be no us!"

Yan Dongze saw the confusion in Lu Manman's eyes, slowly stood beside Lu Manman, and spoke softly.

Then, he looked at the ghost mask in Lu Manman's hand.

"This is the master's ghost mask. Since you wear it, you will be our master from now on!"

"what?"

What the hell?

The bandit leader recognizes his eldest sister?

So sudden?

Just because he wore a ghost mask?

"It's all thanks to you that the eldest master is able to come back. Besides, the third prince and the princess were captured alive. It will be hard for you in the future. eldest master, you came forward to negotiate and cooperate with the court."

With that said, Yan Dongze left. The hall was filled with dazzling red, which made him feel really uncomfortable. The boss had saved his life, but he took his death to make a fuss with the court.

"Ha--it turns out you want me to be the scapegoat!"

Lu Manman looked down at the ghost mask in his hand and sneered again and again. This third boss is so scheming!

She, Lu Manman, was responsible for the scheme, and she, Lu Manman, was responsible for the third prince's failure. Now they want to have peace talks. No matter what the outcome is, the blame lies entirely on herself.
