Keqing, it’s just cultivating immortality, is it that difficult?

"You only see it now? If you know, why don't you put down your weapons?"

Li Hu looked at the refugees with pride.

"You guys are really stupid. You believe everything I say and leak the news just by chatting with me."

"Forget it. I have entertained you for a while. If you just put down your weapons and behave yourself, I might as well take your lives."

Li Hu said loudly.

In her opinion, after he shouted, these refugees must have cried in pain, tremblingly put down their weapons and knelt down to beg for mercy.

However, the facts seemed somewhat surprising and as the laughter died down, the scene became silent.

It was too quiet. Didn't the refugees hear what he said? Were they not afraid?

Li Hu was confused.

At this time, Wang Du on the side discovered that there was something unusual in the eyes of these refugees. Upon closer inspection, he found that most of them looked unfamiliar.

"Oh no! We've fallen into a trap. Retreat quickly!"

The king exclaimed!

However, it was too late.

Rumbling--

The ground shook, and countless fireworks surrounded the bandits. At the same time, Luminous Gate

He took out his long sword, and the corpses lying on the ground suddenly stood up and surrounded them.

"You, you guys!"

"We're screwed! We've been tricked!"

Wang Du gritted his teeth, watching the crowd suddenly make way for a man who walked out. He must be the leader of the convoy!

When did the imperial officials who escorted the grain start to have such thoughts? How did they find out?

"I never thought that Your Excellency could play us like a fool!"

Wang Du pretended to say something harsh and was about to say something when he saw the dark figure walking out of the crowd.

However, before he could finish his words, he was suddenly stunned.

"child?"

That's right, with the projection of light and shadow, under the illumination of the torch, the person who appeared was not a young man or an old man, but a teenage girl, which made Wang Du a little confused.

Did he read that correctly?

"So they are bandits... just as expected."

Keqing raised her head and looked at the two leaders with her glass-like eyes, then looked at their weapons.

"Where did your weapons come from and how did you obtain them?"

Wang Du looked at Li Hu in astonishment.

"on!"

In the blink of an eye, he rushed towards Keqing, with five fingers spread out, rushing towards Keqing as fast as a tiger.

No matter who this little girl is, since she is in the team, she must be extremely important. As long as we take her hostage, we will have a chance to escape.

Wang Du thought so, and according to common sense, he was also right. Unfortunately, Keqing was the exception.

"Protect the princess!"

Everyone rushed forward, but Wang Du was very fast. He approached Keqing in an instant, grabbed her shoulder with one hand and held a dagger across her neck with the other.

"Don't move! Or I'll kill her!"

I didn't expect she was actually a princess! It seems that I have made a fortune. Wang has not forgotten the name that those people blurted out.

He gloated over his misfortune and applauded himself for his cleverness, but he didn't notice that the people around him looked at him with a hint of pity.

Wang was puzzled as to what were the looks in their eyes.

Before he could react, a hand suddenly grabbed his knife-holding arm.

Wang Du subconsciously struggled to break free, but the hands were as solid as mountains and he could not move them even a little bit. Then, he suddenly felt a heavy blow on his chest.

A muffled groan came out of his mouth involuntarily, and Wang Du's stomach was churning. It seemed as if there were millions of waves surging in his stomach, and he instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

Keqing elbowed Wang Du backwards, then grabbed his hand and threw him forward hard.

"what--"

There was a sound of broken bones, and the bone fell heavily to the ground. Wang Du suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and felt dizzy for a moment.

what happened?

What am I doing?

Where is this.

He asked three questions in a row.

Keqing pushed aside his saliva and blood foam, put one foot on his hand, and applied light force.

“Crack—

"what!!!"

The severe pain came and Wang Du couldn't control his voice and cried out in pain. The sound was so miserable that people could only remain silent.

This guy is so bold that he dares to provoke the princess. He must be tired of living.

It's better for them to be in their hands than to be the princess.

Everyone was silent as they watched Wang Du rolling on the ground with his hands as if nailed to the ground and unable to pull them out.

Well deserved.

"Where did the weapons come from?"

Keqing asked, blinking.

"You have the guts to kill me!"

The pain aroused Wang Du's ferocity, and he glared at Keqing fiercely.

Keqing raised her foot, exerted force, and crushed lightly.

"Ahhhhh!!"

"Where did the weapons come from?"

Keqing tilted her head to ask again, but when Wang Du just stared at her fiercely, she cried out in pain and put her foot on his chest, ready to attack.

"I said! I said! It's the Qishan Iron Mine! Master Lan gave it to us!!"

"Lan...Master"

Keqing loves the crooked head, and her cute face looks like a devil in the royal capital.

Keqing retracted her foot, and Wang Du thought she was going to kill him, so he shouted:

"Master Lan is Song Zhi's man! They gave me the weapon!"

Keqing was stunned when she heard this.

Song Zhi, isn’t that the prefect of Tongzhou Prefecture?

Chapter 561 Collusion (4 more)

Keqing blinked. It seemed that there were officials colluding with the bandits behind the scenes.

Seeing her stop, Wang Du breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Li Hu saw that the situation was not good and shouted loudly.

"Go! Let's rush out!"

"Avenge the boss!"

He instigated them, and the bandits around them subconsciously howled and charged forward.

whoosh-

An arrow came from the darkness and hit them directly in the heart, ending their lives.

Facing them were arrows pulled from bows, their sharp arrowheads emitting heart-pounding arcs of light under the firelight.

Gollum—

I couldn't help but swallow.

"If you surrender your weapons, you will not be killed. If you move without permission, you will be killed!"

Geng Hu said in a cold voice, with his eyebrows raised and his eyes staring at him, cold and fierce.

His powerful aura instantly intimidated the group of bandits. Looking at the dense arrows pointed at him, it seemed as if his life depended on this moment, and whether he would live or die depended on whether they knew what was best for them.

Who wants to die when they can live? They are not fools.

"I surrender!! Don't kill me!"

Someone dropped his weapon and it fell on

There was a crackling sound on the ground.

"Me too, I surrender too!"

Once there was a first, there was a second. One after another, the bandits dropped their weapons and surrendered.

Li Hu cursed in his heart!

These guys are so useless that they don't even know how to resist! Do you really think that you will have a good ending if you fall into the hands of these officers and soldiers!

They are not ordinary bandits. They are in collusion with officials, and that person is the prefect. Now that they have been caught, will the prefect let them live?

Li Hu looked anxious, but he felt even more depressed.

He wanted to resist, but the situation was hopeless. Looking at the ferocious officers and soldiers, he had no choice but to follow the crowd, throw down his weapons, kneel on the ground and surrender.

Damn!

Why am I so greedy!

He was filled with regret, feeling that he should not have been so confident and been fooled.

At this point, all the bandits were captured, a total of 152 people.

Geng Hu also sighed when he saw this, because new trouble had come.

Even he knew that Song Zhi was the prefect of Tongzhou Prefecture, and that he and others had captured the bandit in collusion with the other party. What was the other party's intention?

Could it be that the people in Tongzhou Prefecture do not welcome the princess? Geng Hu couldn't help but think a lot.

However, he had no idea that this was all a coincidence. The bandits had no idea who they were and thought they were imperial envoys escorting relief grain.

And Song Zhi...

Song Zhi had no idea that the princess had arrived, nor did he know that the princess was leaving for her fiefdom.

When the natural disaster struck, he concealed the actual situation in Tongzhou Prefecture. The post envoy sent by the court was also killed because of the presence of refugees. Therefore, Song Zhi, who should have known the news early, still didn't know any information.

So this was all a complete misunderstanding, and Geng Hu also felt that it was a misunderstanding after the interrogation, but he was very angry.

"How dare he!"

Geng Hu gritted his teeth.

"As a prefect, an official should serve the people and the world. How could he deceive his superiors and hide the truth from his subordinates, concealing the fact that people were displaced by natural disasters, and even colluding with bandits to plunder the population and secretly mine iron ore!"

Yes, this group of people were robbing people for Song Zhi. They used the pretext of banditry to rob people everywhere in order to secretly dig out the newly discovered iron mine in Qishan. These weapons naturally came from that batch of mines.

"Don't worry, General."

"My Lord! How can I not be anxious! That is your fiefdom! Under your rule, he is so reckless and has caused trouble to Tongzhou Prefecture. Aren't you anxious?!"

"There's no point in getting anxious... It's already happened and no matter how upset you are, it's useless. You might as well think about why he did this!"

Keqing was very calm and did not feel anxious at all after hearing the news.

After all, she had seen natural disasters occur, corpses everywhere, and refugees everywhere, so she had been mentally prepared along the way.
