Chapter 2569: Chapter 2569: The Third Path (Part 3)
Everyone underground was stunned by the sudden change; if they were not mistaken, those were three sea eagles. Honestly, training even one sea eagle is rare, but that woman could command three at once, playfully teasing their bandit leader in mid-air. How intelligent must she be? They somewhat regretted coming down here.
However, Xiaohei was very disdainful; just two moves and he fainted? And he calls himself the great leader? What a coward! He then casually shook and let go of his grasp.
Since the leader was upside down, falling straight to the ground would definitely smash his head into mush, so Xiaohei aimed to throw him into the group of mountain bandits, instantly knocking down three or four of them.
"Isn’t this too weak?" Gu Yao stepped forward.
The mountain bandits quickly cleared a path.
"Wake him up," Yang Ruxin indicated.
Gu Yao pulled out a dagger and cut the leader’s hand directly with it.
The leader, who had fainted from fright, instantly screamed and opened his eyes. But upon seeing the blood hole in his hand, he was so scared he couldn’t even scream; his hand was wasted.
"Second brother-in-law, ask him if he still wants the silver?" Sanni raised her eyebrows triumphantly.
The leader only shook his head vigorously.
"Now you have two paths to choose from. One is to turn over a new leaf, go back, and live by hunting and farming on the mountain. The other is that we send all of you to prison, and you get sentenced according to the law." Yang Ruxin held up two fingers, "Choose now."
"Is... there a third option?" The leader trembled as he spoke.
"Yes," Sini’s clear voice rang out, "which would be us throwing you into the canal to feed the piranhas." She then turned to Yang Ruxin, seeking her opinion on whether what she said was correct.
Yang Ruxin nodded slightly, "That’s a good idea."
The little girl instantly became happy.
But the leader was dumbfounded; such a little girl, is she a demon?
"Hurry up and choose," Gu Yao glanced at the sky, "Don’t delay our departure."
"We..." The Store Manager looked at his subordinates, all looking frightened, suddenly waved his hand, "Let’s scram! (slang meaning: retreat)" and then got up and started to run outside.
Gu Yao and the others didn’t chase after them, just watched leisurely as these people ran.
The mountain bandits either mounted horses or ran away, showing off their various skills heading outward.
However, they hadn’t run far when they all stopped because at some unknown point, the outside had been surrounded by the army.
"Drop your weapons," someone from the soldiers shouted loudly, "or else you’ll be killed without mercy." He raised the large knife in his hand as he spoke.
Then a row of archers came up, bows drawn and arrows nocked, ready to fire at the drop of that blade; the people inside would definitely be shot like porcupines.
All the mountain bandits immediately threw down their weapons and raised their hands, knowing it’s wiser not to fight a losing battle; getting caught doesn’t necessarily mean death, but resisting certainly would mean no survival.
A scholarly-looking man, dressed in the Governor’s Office attire, walked forward a few steps, directly kneeling down: "Subordinate Kong Qingfang greets General Gu, Madam Ruyi."
Tian Ba immediately showed a look of realization. Never mind General Gu, but Madam Ruyi, the first third-rank female official of this dynasty, with excellent medical skills, was instrumental to the Yuan Country. He hadn’t expected they would encounter them.
