The Ballad of Youth: Inheriting Daoji, Li Hanyi, the Escapee from Marriage

Before Xiao Se could even stop him, Lei Wujie, clad in flames, charged towards the bandits!

"Lei Family - Unparalleled Fist!"

"Fire Scorching Technique, Third Level—Garuda!"

Even with Li Xiuyuan's intervention, he was still kidnapped by Wuxin before he could resist.

So the "Sword of Terror" on his back was also left with Tang Lian.

But one thing is different: poor Lei Wujie never used the family heirloom sword after taking it out!

The time with Yueji and Minghou, it was because they hadn't been pushed to their limits and felt there was no need to use it. As for the time with Baifa Xian, he was guarding the golden coffin outside the city and didn't make any moves.

After that, the White-Haired Immortal did not attack them on the way.

This guy's a mess. His master, Lei Hong, gave him some good stuff to protect himself, but he just "threw" it away without using it at all. If Xiao Se hadn't said that Tang Lian had basically accepted him as his junior brother, he probably would have helped him keep it for the time being.

Lei Wujie couldn't possibly keep laughing and joking all the way!

If we're just talking about this fight, without the Fearless Sword, he might have a very difficult time...

"Hey! What kind of heroes are you? Surrounding me is one thing, but having someone put a rope around my neck is another!"

"What are you doing? Ouch!"

Lei Wujie's body leaped into the air, and visible, pale red fist energies continuously attacked the bandits below!

At first, it was effective, and it knocked several people off their horses.

However, after his hand was first tied with a rope and he managed to burn it with his Fiery True Qi, Lei Wujie shouted in frustration as he watched more and more people tie ropes around his hand.

"Ha, you idiot, if we were truly heroes, would we need to become bandits?"

"Ignore him, go!"

The bandit leader, a man wearing a bronze demon mask, sneered. After uttering a harmonious word, he sneered again and ordered all his men to take out ropes and lasso them around Lei Wujie!

I'll trap you, you monkey! Young man, you have no sportsmanship!

Upon seeing this, Lei Wujie's expression changed, and he quickly channeled his inner strength to shift his position in mid-air.

But thinking about these bandits, they've been using horse ropes for so many years... oops, I should say they're really good at it.

Moreover, there were many of them, and Lei Wujie had no way to dodge them all.

As soon as the first rope snare landed on Lei Wujie, before he even had a chance to burn it off, more and more ropes bound his limbs, pulling him to the ground where he fell, completely disoriented!

"How to say?"

Xiao Se saw this, and his expression was surprisingly calm.

Perhaps, after Lei Wujie rushed forward recklessly, he finally came to the conclusion that the three people around him were unreliable?

Perhaps he has already admitted that he might actually have a tendency to meet the wrong people.

In short, it was expected...

"What do we do now?"

Xiao Se asked Wu Xin in a calm tone.

Wuxin responded with a smile and uttered a single word.

"run!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wuxin turned around and flew away. Xiao Se also noticed that the group of bandits did not intend to kill him. Perhaps, they did not happen to encounter them by chance, but were interested in the secret technique on Wuxin.

In short, if Lei Wujie were to be killed, he would have been dead long ago. But since he isn't being killed now, he shouldn't be in any major trouble in the short term.

Therefore, Xiao Se felt no burden and turned to run away with Wu Xin.

However, at this moment, our Lei Wujie...

"Xiao Se, Wu Xin, Dao Ji! Hurry... Oh my god, where did you all go?"

"I told you to act quickly, not to run away! You guys are really disloyal!"

Lei Wujie was bound hand and foot to the ground. Just as he was about to call for help, he discovered this "horrible" scene!

"Chief, the person escaped, then what should we do..."

"Then we don't need to worry about them. The young master didn't explicitly say he wanted to capture them all."

"Let's take these two with us and show them to the other side, since this Western Regions is our territory."

"If they want to leave from here, they'll have to get past us. They can't escape!"

The bandit leader spoke in a low voice, then ordered the others to knock Lei Wujie unconscious and prepare to return to their camp.

Only the underling was left, still not quite reacting, looking completely bewildered.

"Two people? We only caught this loudmouth kid, didn't we? Where are the two people?"

The bandit underling didn't quite understand, but since his boss had said so, and it wasn't a big deal, he didn't think much of it and rode his horse to catch up with the main group.

…………

Several hours later, in the dungeon of the largest bandit camp in the Western Regions, Lei Wujie slowly opened his eyes. He rubbed his still aching head and woke up with a start.

"Is this... a prison cell? Have I been arrested?"

He recalled what happened before he fell into a coma, a deep bitterness appearing on his face, and he couldn't help but speak.

"Sigh, those three treacherous guys, they really ran away fast!"

Lei Wujie spoke with a speechless expression, but his words were heard and responded to from another cell behind him.

"A young hero should be dressed in fine clothes and riding a spirited horse, drinking and singing! Why do you look so sighing and lamenting?"

Lei Wujie knew, of course, that this kind of prison was not built just for him; it was understandable that other people were also imprisoned there.

Thinking that it felt good to have someone to talk to, I continued to respond to the other person.

"Still drinking and singing... You're already someone else's prisoner, what are you still talking about..."

As Lei Wujie spoke, he heard the sound of running water coming from the cell behind him, along with a rich aroma of wine that slowly wafted into his nostrils.

This is alcohol! Is the person next door drinking?

"You, you're the one drinking! And it's good wine! Aren't you one of those people who were arrested? How come you have wine to drink?"

As for Lei Wujie's question, Crimson King Xiao Yu naturally did not intend to tell the truth.

He just decided to visit his "brother's" partner on a whim.

"I naturally have my own methods, but... since we're destined to be 'prisoners' here again, why don't we drink together?"

Perhaps Xiao Yu found this person quite interesting; it was said that he was young and his martial arts skills were quite good.

Because we can't reveal our identities or directly build alliances, let's get to know each other first. Maybe there will be opportunities in the future?

Thinking this, Crimson King Xiao Yu picked up the wine jar, then went to the cell door and handed it to Lei Wujie.

If someone were to observe this from the outside, they would clearly see that the cell door could be opened!

Fortunately, his arms were long enough, and Lei Wujie's arms were not short either.

Otherwise, I really wouldn't know how to keep up the act!

"Wow! Thanks, bro! You wait, my friends will definitely come to rescue me, and I'll rescue you too while I'm at it!"

Lei Wujie never expected to be able to drink under these circumstances. He thanked them profusely and took the wine, gulping it down in one go!

"Haha, how can you be sure they'll come to rescue you?"

"Friends... Hmph, I've never had any friends, nor do I believe any so-called friends would dare to sneak into this bandit's den for me!"

"You should know that this gang of bandits is the most vicious bandit in the Western Regions. The three leaders are all at least at the Free Realm."

"If your friend is that capable, why would he need to run away and make you sigh that he's disloyal?"

On the surface, Red King Xiao Yu was indignant, making it seem as if he, too, had been betrayed by a friend and was in the same boat as Lei Wujie.

In reality, he was just trying to get information out of Lei Wujie!

"Um... I don't know why you have such a big problem with your friends. Maybe you really don't have any friends, or maybe you've just found a superficial friend."

"Anyway, my friends, although I don't know why they ran away, they will definitely come to save me later!"

"As for your question about cultivation level... my friend isn't afraid at all!"

"Besides Xiao Se, Wu Xin is also very powerful, as is Dao Ji... He's someone who can hold his own against that White-Haired Immortal from the Outer Heavens!"

"Although I don't know if we'll win in the end, we're definitely not afraid of enemies from the Free Land!"

"Hey, by the way, how do you know so much? Logically speaking, they wouldn't tell you their secrets, would they?"

Upon hearing Lei Wujie's question, Crimson King Xiao Yu was slightly taken aback.

"Oh, maybe it's because my family is relatively wealthy. They're showing off their power by asking my family for money."

"Look, this wine was given to me by them. Only by taking good care of me can they get a large sum of money, right?"

Red King Xiao Yu replied absentmindedly, but inwardly he was having other thoughts.

"It seems that what Long Xie said is true. The monk who fought with the White-Haired Immortal is indeed with my brother."

"But what is his purpose? And just how powerful is he?"

"According to intelligence, he should be quite young, only in his early twenties. Even if he has the same talent as my sixth brother, he should only be around the late stage of the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm, right?"

"Can he be won over? By force, or by offering incentives? If I could become emperor, and it were a meritorious act of supporting the emperor, surely no one could resist the temptation?"

Crimson King Xiao Yu pondered deeply, and finally... he decided to get more information from Lei Wujie.

"Young man, according to you, your friend Daoji is really powerful!"

"Could you tell me some things about him? Oh, because I'm physically weak, I've always longed for the world of martial arts."

"As a result, not only do we not have the chance on ordinary days, but this time we sneaked out and ended up being captured by bandits. Let's hear some heroic stories."

"It's a comfort to my soul!"

Red King Xiao Yu found enough reasons to prevent Lei Wujie from becoming suspicious.

"Daoji... He may be powerful, but he's also unreliable."

"As a monk, he actually drinks alcohol and eats meat!"
