After leaving Piaoxianglou (Fragrant Pavilion), Liu Qiang said goodbye to Ye Ming, saying he was going to buy pregnancy-preserving medicine. He told Ye Ming to go back first.
"No good stuff spawned yesterday. I only spawned two kilograms of alpine potatoes."
"Why does this system give out special offers on everything? Let's look at what's on today."
Ye Ming was furious when he realized that he'd gained three life points by hunting a pheasant first. If he'd hunted a wild boar first, his gains would have skyrocketed.
[Today's Special Offer: Dragon Spring Sword Sword (Limited Edition, 1-meter-long, Sharpened Blade) - Special Price: 10 Life Points!]
[Current Life Points: 15]
"It's so expensive! Not counting hunting, I only earn five points a day, plus food and toiletries."
But swords and guns were a man's passion. For Ye Ming, they were just a daily cost of life points. It wasn't that he couldn't accept it. And now with over sixty taels of silver, life wasn't a major issue.
Getting a sword for self-defense wouldn't be a waste.
"Help! Don't come over here!"
"My brother is Murong Jianye, and my father is the current prince. You touch me! They won't let you go!"
Murong Yue retreated in fear, but a maid, of similar stature but slightly less attractive, stood in front of her.
"Oh, she's a princess! Brother, we're so lucky!"
The burly man in the lead had a lewd smile on his face.
"Hahaha, of course. I was thinking of finding some beautiful refugees to play with. I didn't expect to run into such high-class women right out of the gate."
Murong Mingyue felt a surge of despair. This group of thieves was likely a group of desperate and fearless criminals.
"Didn't you hear? My young lady is a princess! My prince is Prince of Ping'an, Murong Tuo. Why don't you retreat!"
Then the skinny-looking bandit with a black mole on the right side of his nose spoke up.
"Hahaha, we're just a bunch of bandits, about to go to Liangzhou City to seek refuge with Lin Weichen. Do you think we'd be afraid of some bullshit prince?"
The dark-faced burly man patted the skinny monkey's shoulder.
"Monkey is right, you'll line up behind me later, and it'll be your turn after I'm done enjoying myself."
"Hehehe, thank you, big brother!"
The five bandits grinned lewdly and slowly approached Murong Mingyue and her maid Xiaolian.
"You're talking nonsense! Brother Weichen won't accept the likes of you!"
"My lady, it's already this late and you're still thinking about your brother Weichen. Run!"
The dark-faced burly man sneered. "How could Lin Weichen be such a good person? He even sent his newlywed wife to accompany the guests just to secure Liangyou City."
"That's how he earned aid from the Northwestern Barbarian Kingdom. This traitorous scum, if I wasn't desperate, I wouldn't seek refuge with him."
"You're talking nonsense! How could Brother Weichen be that kind of person?"
In Murong Mingyue's mind, Lin Weichen had always been a refined and courteous gentleman. How could he do such a thing?
"Boss, will having sex with this woman affect your brain? Lin Weichen is such a ruthless guy, and this woman still likes him?"
"Who cares? Let's have our fun first and be done with it. Brothers, hold them down. You can get in line after I'm done."
"Hahaha, okay, boss."
Murong Mingyue's heart was completely broken. She had come out to find evidence to prove her brother was wrong before heading to Liangzhou City.
Unexpectedly, the refugees she encountered along the way all said the same thing. Now that she was lost, the bandits she encountered said the same thing.
"Young lady, don't give up!"
"Someone, come and save us!"
"Young lady, don't waste your energy. No one will come to your rescue even if you scream your throat out!"
At that moment, the maid Xiaolian spotted Ye Ming, who was about to slip away.
"Hey, young man, come and save us. If you save us, we'll reward you handsomely."
The bandits, about to attack, turned back and saw a man in green clothing.
"Oh my god, there's someone out there!"
"Stop!"
Ye Ming had originally wanted to stay out of this. If there were only one or two people, he would have considered saving them. Then he could ask the two young ladies for some money.
But there were five of them. With his carbon composite bow, he might be able to steal two. But there was no need to take such a risk. They dared to kidnap women in broad daylight.
They were probably a group of desperate criminals, and Ye Ming had no idea if they had any accomplices.
"Brothers, I'm just passing through. You guys continue."
"Brother, we can't let him go. Prince Ping'an has a close personal relationship with General Zhou An, the rehabilitator."
"Even if we escape to Liangzhou City, there's no guarantee Lin Weichen will use us to stall for time while Zhou An attacks!"
The dark-faced, burly Boss Guo, briefly pondered before ordering his men to kill Ye Ming.
"No, I'm just passing through!"
"Stop talking nonsense. Blame it on your bad luck running into us."
Besides Boss Guo, two or three of them were armed with slightly rusty knives. A real hand-to-hand fight would inevitably result in injuries.
"I didn't want to get involved, but you forced me to!"
"Hahaha, a green-skinned peasant, what can I do to you?"
"Brothers, charge! Monkey and Goudan stay, the rest of you, chop him down!"
Thinking of this, Ye Ming no longer hesitated and immediately pulled out a compound bow from his system space. The bandits were stunned at first by Ye Ming's sudden creation.
"What is this?"
By the time they saw Ye Ming draw his bow and fire, it was too late. As the arrow whizzed out, a bandit was directly pierced by the arrow and died.
The moment he saw the blood gushing out, Ye Ming felt like retching and wanting to vomit.
But the situation was urgent and he could only force himself to hold back.
"Ahhh, you dare to kill my little brother!"
Boss Guo said, holding up his knife, and rushed towards Ye Ming with the other two little brothers.
Seeing the two getting closer, Ye Ming quickly used his compound bow to take out one of them. Before he could continue, Boss Guo was already in front of him.
"Damn boy, let's see what you can do now!"
Ye Ming smiled evilly and took out the Dragon Spring Sword sword from the system space.
"Sorry, I have another sword."
Ye Ming used the sword to block Boss Guo's slash. Boss Guo's knife even broke into two pieces.
"How could it be, what kind of sword is this!"
Ye Ming didn't waste any words and directly killed Boss Guo with a sword.
Seeing the boss being knocked down by Ye Ming in a few moves, Monkey and Gou Dan were instantly scared.
"You, don't come over here!"
"Are you a human or a ghost?"
Ye Ming's ability to conjure things out of thin air was even more terrifying than his instant kill of Boss Guo.
"What do you think?"
Monkey only then remembered that he still had a hostage, and he held the knife to Murong Mingyue's neck.
"Don't come over, or I will kill her!"
"Kill you if you want, you caught her, why should I not come over?"
Murong Mingyue panicked, she thought she had met a savior, but he turned out to be a killer!
"No, hero, please save me, I can give you money, my father is the King of Peace!"
Ye Ming instantly became energetic when he heard that there was money to be made.
"How much can you give?"
Before Murong Mingyue could speak, she saw a large piece of snow flying in front of her.
When she regained his sight, Shouhou and Ergou were already dead. Beside her was the maid Xiaolian and Ye Ming who was lying on the ground vomiting.
When Murong Mingyue saw the blood and corpses around him clearly, she could not help but vomit.
